Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Picking Up a Free Cub

Seeing so many females promise they could lure in two more, the leading male laughed, his hearty laughter echoing from behind his mask.

“Excellent. Someone take these dozen or so young ladies who know what’s good for them away.

Be gentle with them. They’re our partners now.”

The people beside him immediately unlocked the shackles of the thirteen females, letting them out of their cages and leading them away.

“Any other young ladies willing to cooperate?

This is a one-time opportunity. If you miss it, there won’t be a second chance.”

No one else moved.

They were all High-level females. Luring one or two other High-level females would be quite simple, but not all of them were depraved enough to do it.

“Since no one else is willing to cooperate, I can only wish you all the best of luck.”

Then, the minor leader left, leaving only the group of masked people, who began to move the cages one by one.

Long Yue curled her lip. “I don’t believe for a second they’re that kind.”

“They certainly can’t be trusted.”

“You think so too, right, sister-in-law? And to think those idiots actually believed them. Hmph.”

Jiang Qin nodded. “It’s just as that man said. If he can get three people, why would he settle for just two?”

’Trusting a group of such vicious criminals is a complete joke.’

…

In the Underground City’s auction house, everyone in attendance wore ferocious-looking masks made of a special material.

They listened with rapt attention as the auctioneer on the stage introduced the lots.

“An S-level female, 78 years old. Starting bid is ten million Star Coins. Each bid increment must be no less than one hundred thousand.”

A fiery round of bidding quickly erupted.

The males present today were basically all famous leaders among the current Star Thieves, or major figures who controlled territories on Chaotic Star.

There were also major figures from other powers on Chaotic Star, most of whom had received their invitations through the Dark Web.

As for the prices being called out, they were merely for the convenience of bidding. The actual payment for a winning bid wasn’t made in Star Coins.

Instead, it was various high-end and rare items of equivalent value.

Without some valuable goods, one couldn’t even get a ticket to this auction.

In VIP Room 31 on the third floor, two males wearing strange masks were puffing on high-end, smoke-type Inhibitors.

The male on the left, who had fiery red hair, asked with a playful grin, “What’s this? Planning on taking a delicate little female home this time?”

The male on the right, with long, wavy blond hair, gave a frivolous smile. “Heh, what? You want to share a female with me?”

“Hehe, I wouldn’t want to share one with you. I’m afraid the female wouldn’t survive ten days. Wouldn’t that be a loss for me?”

“You’re overthinking it. I’d be paying a high price for her, after all. Even if I don’t feel bad for the female, wouldn’t I at least feel bad about the waste of resources?”

The red-haired male’s lips curved into a smile. “My main worry is that a pure-hearted boy like you, trying it for the first time, wouldn’t know how to hold back and might end up playing the female to death.”

“Heh, if I’m not getting a female for *that*, what’s the point?”

“True. So what do you think of the one on stage? She looks pretty sturdy. Ought to be durable.”

The blond male said with disgust, “If I wanted someone sturdy, I might as well get a male.”

Soon, the female being bid on was sold, and the next one was brought up.

As one female after another was taken away, it was soon Jiang Qin’s turn.

She and Long Yue were brought onto the stage at the same time.

The auctioneer announced, “Here we have a pair of sisters! The older sister is an A-level female, the younger an S-level female. They can only be bought as a pair.”

Jiang Qin: …

Long Yue: …

’So, there really are crooked merchants everywhere.’

The two of them didn’t look the least bit alike, yet the auctioneer had the audacity to call them sisters.

And quite a few people in the audience believed him.

The red-haired male was one of them. “Ooh, a pair of sisters. The older one looks stunningly beautiful, and the younger one looks so pitiful and frail.

Why don’t we bid on this pair of sisters?

The older one can be yours, and the younger one mine. I just love these poor little things that make you want to ruin them~~”

The blond male shot him a disdainful look. “I didn’t realize you were a pervert who likes to mess with pregnant females.”

The red-haired male took a closer look, then hissed. “So she is.”

“Then let’s forget it. Buying a female you can only look at but not touch is just asking for trouble.”

However, not all the males were as “principled” as they were.

Seeing a pregnant female made them even more frenzied.

“I bid five hundred million! How about you all let me have this pair of sisters?”

“Hilarious. You think you can get them for six hundred million? I bid one billion.”

“One and a half billion!! I’d like to see who dares to compete with me, Tu Shi.”

“Tu Shi?? Hiss… It’s him again. That little female is done for.”

Everyone knew that Tu Shi made a bid at every auction where females were sold.

And he had a unique taste: he liked pregnant females.

Therefore, the pregnant females he took away were forced into a repeating cycle of pregnancy, miscarriage, and torture, then pregnancy and miscarriage again, until they died.

Basically, no female who fell into his hands survived for more than five years, even with medicine keeping them alive.

Long Yue was in a complete panic, endlessly cursing her damn brother, Long Hao, in her head for not having found them yet.

’If he doesn’t get here soon, I won’t be able to protect my sister-in-law. I’m all alone and I don’t have a weapon or a Mecha.’

But Jiang Qin wasn’t panicking. On the contrary, she thought this might be to her advantage!

’As long as Long Yue and I are taken out of here together, I’ll have a chance to use my Superpower and escape with her.’

’It’ll definitely be easier to run outside than in a place full of high-tech doors.’

…

Tu Shi’s name was quite famous on the Dark Web.

There were still many other females available, and since Jiang Qin and Long Yue were being sold as a package deal, many people simply gave up.

After all, with the resources it would take to buy them, it was better to bid on the females individually.

“One and a half billion, going once!”

“One and a half billion…”

“One point six billion.” A faint voice drifted out from VIP Room 31.

The red-haired male was so surprised he choked on his Inhibitor. “COUGH, COUGH, COUGH! Didn’t you just say that anyone who buys pregnant females is a pervert?”

The emotion in his eyes was incredibly easy to read.

It was as if he were saying: ’I never knew you were this kind of pervert!’ Or rather, ’The pervert was right beside me all along!’

“What are you thinking? I just can’t stand to watch some animal go after an unborn child.”

“Oh? I never would have thought. The great and famous Gang Leader of the Golden Sand Gang is actually someone who pities the weak?” the red-haired male teased, raising an eyebrow.

The blond male shot him a glare before saying languidly, “You don’t understand the joy of a buy-one-get-one-free deal.”

“Once that little cub is born, I’ll raise it by my side and forge it into a weapon.

The cub’s mother is an S-level female, so its father can’t be shabby either. The kid’s natural talent is bound to be high.

Besides, this female started bearing children at such a young age. She can definitely give me one or two more before she dies.

By then, I’ll have gotten one cub for free and can have two of my own. It’s no loss for me.”

The red-haired male was at a loss for words. He could only give his good brother a thumbs-up. “Brilliant. Truly brilliant.

In that case, why don’t you give me the older sister? We two brothers will have a pair of sisters. We’ll be one big family then.”

“Fine.”
