The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117: TELL ME ABOUT THEIR CONVERSATION

Iris stared into his bottomless eyes, trying to figure out what he was thinking about, but all she could tell was; he was like a calm river, not letting anyone know the constant turbulence underneath its surface.

Cane was planning something, he wanted to bring change and he was already making a move about that, she was pretty sure about it, but because he started from the very bottom to arrange everything, his actions had not alarmed anyone yet.

From the documents that she had translated, she could tell that much. Cane was trying to build connections in the Holy kingdom, but for what?

Needless to say, aside from trading using the magic stone mines in this continent, the two continents were not really on good terms, as those people from across the sea saw them as beasts. Creatures that defied nature because they could take animal form and human form alike.

Some of them even thought they were as low as animals. The last time Serafim visited this continent was fifteen years back.

What was Cane planning with the people from the Holy Kingdom?

Iris couldn’t find the answer, but in the end, it was her, who averted her gaze first. She lowered her head to observe the auction below, as she watched them reveal the opening price for a white tiger. It was three hundred gold coins.

Three hundred gold coins?!

Commoners with a family of four could use one gold coin to eat pleasantly for a month, but three hundred gold coins as an opening price for a white tiger? That was too much!

"Is a white tiger that expensive?"

"No, it’s not an ordinary white tiger." Redmond nodded toward the stage again and told her to pay close attention.

Right at the same time, the auctioneer drew all of their attention to see what the white tiger could do.

A second later the white tiger shifted into a little boy around the age of five. He looked terrified. The little boy had white hair and fair complexion, he had grey eyes as well. Was he blind? But, when he took in his surroundings with his fearful eyes, Iris knew that he was not.

He was crying, hugging his small body. On the big stage, under the intense gazes of people around him, strangers that wanted their hands on him, it must be so terrifying.

"How can that be?" Iris was stunned. She felt the lizard resting on her shoulder poke its tiny head through her curls.

"That boy is the last diamond white tiger."

"What is that?"

"His tears turn into diamonds."

However, Redmond shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, as if there was nothing important to mention here. "Of course, the diamond white tigers are extinct now. They need to make them cry to get the diamonds and most of the time, they get carried away and kill them, especially when they are stubborn enough not to drop a single tear." _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
