Chapter 243 - 243:The Bid


    Ken and Evan tried searching for Jared at the auction but he''s nowhere to be found, even the men around didn''t know where he was.


    Evan was starting to feel worried, while Ken sat on the chair assigned for him and grabbed a number for the auction.


    The small stage will soon be opened, some people who had just lost their money from the fight decided to go back to the casino to gamble while the rest decided to check the auction.


    Mumbling of people ovepped, Evan''s heart was pounding heavily, so worried about Danie.


    She''s just around him, in the same building yet he couldn''t find her.


    He bit his lower lips, then his eyes focused at the stage where a woman was tied up in a cage, wearing a nightie showing almost her body.


    Evan''s brows creased. It was indeed the same woman from the airport as well as the elevator.


    ''So, she''s really the Queen of country Ga.'' He thought


    He didn''t bother looking her up online, he has much better thing to do like looking for Danie.


    Ken said that the albino gori was important to her so it must be one of the reasons why she''s here.


    He looked around, so much sounding from people''s mouth, too much noise was giving him a headache.


    "Good Evening everyone."


    Everyone''s eyes locked at the stage after Jared spoke, a weing smile on his face.


    "I have some important guests here," Jared pointed a finger at Evan and Ken, winked at them and held the microphone tightly.


    "So, here I have a royal on my right side and a very rare albino gori on my left."


    After saying that, two men in red suits pushed the two cages forward. People gasped, some got up and walked a few steps for a closer look.


    The woman in the nighties was indeed a beauty. Her porcin skin, petite body and the pitiful look on her face made her look like a Barbie in distress.


    "We shall start with the rare gori, thest of it''s kind."


    Jared opened the door of the cage, the gori got out but he can''t go further with the chain in his foot.


    He growled so loudly, people''s eyes widened in both shock and fear.


    He might have been a gori but his body was petite, if it''s not for his hair he would look like a monkey suffering from a rare disease.


    "let start with 1 million."


    Jared passed the microphone to the MC standing next to the monkey.


    Evan wanted to follow Jared but he remained on the stage and watched the people as they raised their number to bid.


    "5 million," Ken raised his number.


    "Is there anyone else who wants to-" the MC was interrupted when an old man raised his number and said, "10 million."


    Ken''s face screwed up, starting to lose his patience. "15 million."


    "20," the old man said.


    Ken was about to raise his number when Evan stopped him.


    "They are fooling you, Ken. I think that man is working with Jared, they intend to raise the bid so don''t be fooled," Evan warned.


    "But this is for her. She likes this monkey."


    Evan shook his head. Knowing Ken, if he wanted something, he would buy it at any cost.


    "Just wait. Alright?"


    Ken nodded and decided to wait


    "20 is thest bid. Going once, going twice…"


    Sweat formed on Ken''s face, his knees rocked anxiously.


    "Evan I need this monkey."


    "Why? Do you think she will be happy knowing that you spent 20 million on that monkey?"


    Ken let out a sharp sigh.


    "25." Ken raise his number. If the old man decided to raise it to 30, he would quit.


    Luckily, the old man didn''t raise his bid so Ken won.


    "Stupid," Evan shook his head as he whispered that word in Ken''s ear.


    "Why spend 25 million for a gori Ken? You have never spent that kind of money to any woman."


    Ken shrugged a shoulder, the MC approached them with the paper. He signed it and epted the key for the gori'' cage.


    "She only had you Evan, and now you broke up with her. She didn''t have a family so I just thought of giving her this monkey. I mean, they look so simr, so uncanny. They almost look twins," kenughed, eyes squinting as he continuedughing.


    "Seems like Ken is having fun."


    By that voice, Ken and Evan turned. There was Jared holding a whiskey ss in his hand, an annoying smirk on his lips.


    "Yes. Absolutely," ken didn''t hide his smile, "that gori will finally have a reunion with his twin sister."


    Jared rose a brow, definitely confused by what Ken''s meant.


    "I am d that you two are having fun Ken," then Jared turned to Evan, "maybe you would like to stay for the next bid. I kind of noticed earlier how you stared at her."


    Evan''s lips pursed as he watched Jared walking back to the stage.


    When the second bid started, Evan wanted to leave but Jared was still on stage so he decided to wait and make sure that he won''t disrupt whatever n Danie has.


    "Shall we start with 10 million. It''s not so much for a royal, is it?" Jared spoke in the microphone though his eyes were locked at Evan.


    Everyone was interested in beauty in the cage. Her clothing revealed her natural beauty, wless skin, and perfect curves.


    One after another, people raised their card to bid. When it reached one hundred million, everyone became a coward and looked at the person who raised a card. It was an old man, who was earlier interested with the gori.


    "200 million," Ken raised his card, staring straight at the man.


    "300," the old man stated.


    Ken was about to raise his card when Evan held his wrist.


    "301," Evan raised his card with a serious face. If this goes on, he''s afraid that Ken would lose all of his money because of his ego.


    Then so, the old man didn''t raise his bid. Instead, he got up and left the ce.


    "The Royal Princess is now sold," he MC spoke in the microphone.


    Everyone got up, pping their hands for Evan.


    So, then Evan left Ken''s side. Before he could pass the door, two men stopped him.


    "See the guy over there?" Evan pointed at where Ken was standing.


    "He''s going to give you the check," then he exited the room and went straight to the back door. He just needed to breathe, the ce was suffocating him. It was too narrow despite its huge size, and too crowded even though he was used to attendingrge parties.


    He leaned on the wall in the empty side street. The ce was quiet and dark, unlike the casino.


    Footsteps approaching him sounded. Evan narrowed his eyes and looked at the end of the dark alley.


    Then, like a wind, a body passed in front of him, Evan''s eyebrows creased deeply when he sniffed the familiar scent.


    With a rush, Evan ran after the woman. He grabbed her wrist and dragged him back to the alley.


    "You are Danie''s friend right?" he asked.


    The woman''s face was paled, her eyes were wide open as if she had just seen a ghost.


    "Are you Evan Su?" the woman asked panting.


    "Yes."


    "Danie is in trouble. She didn''t want me to go back and help her so please-"


    "Where is she?" Evan said interrupting her.


    "In Kim''s hotel room."


    After he got the room number, Evan ran to the hotel. He didn''t care if there were guards in front of the room just like the woman said, all he wanted was to see her and make sure that she''s safe.
