Ethan followed the crowd, entering the auction.
Before it started, he could hear noisy and vehement exclamations.
"I heard that there's a beauty tonight."
"I heard that too, that there's something good."
"It's so boring these days. We're going to reach the land soon. Shouldn't we seize the chance to play something big?"
Everyone present was wearing a mask, and beneath those masks were hideous faces.
Not long after Ethan seated himself, someone approached him. "Mr. Irving?"
With his legs crossed, Ethan exuded the aura of a big shot. He no longer wore the meek facade he had put up when Olivia was around.
"That's me." His murderous aura alone was enough to make one distance themselves from him.
"Here's a letter for you."
The content was written in the same handwriting. After Ethan read the letter, Joshua noticed the veins protruding from the back of Ethan's hands.
It was obviously ire.
"My superior has said the word. If you reject this, you'll see both of them becoming someone's toy."
The word "toy" was jarring in Ethan's ears. He tore the letter into pieces.
"Tell her to clean herself up."
"Is this an acceptance?"
Ethan responded with a light voice, "It's for her death."
It would've been a joke if it was blurted from someone else. But things would only become more serious when the words came from Ethan.
He was on the verge of going berserk for Olivia.
If he could buy her, everyone would be safe.
Joshua prayed for everything to be fine deep down in his heart.
Based on Ethan's wealth, it wasn't a difficult matter to buy Olivia and Alicia. However, the other party might do something behind the scenes to cause trouble.
Yet, not only did the other party not beg for mercy, but he even blurted such cruel words!
On top of that, rules were meant to be broken anyway.
"Tell everyone to get ready for the show. That woman will be saved for the last; she's the best, after all."
"Yes, Ma'am."
Flora underestimated Ethan's wealth. After all, everyone on this ship was rich. She thought that he was a mere small fry.
When it was Olivia's turn to be sold, Flora was confident that all the men would go crazy with their bids.
She wanted Ethan to watch the woman he liked getting sold to another person!
On the other hand, Ethan had already seen through Flora.
He was certain that Flora would leave Olivia as the last person to be sold. That way, he would have more time.
The auction officially commenced. Flora took the most conspicuous seat to personally start the game.
Meanwhile, the man in the city center zoomed into the live screen to watch the show unfold.
