The Extra’s Survival - Chapter 211: Sorting Things Out[2]
After a moment of silence, Lucas heard Julian’s voice.
“What kind of slave you are buying?”
“Uh…that.”
“An Elf girl,” Lucas muttered with slight hesitation.
Julian on the other side blinked her eyelashes multiple times while thinking about how it came to this.
“Are you buying her to become a servant and work as your maid?”
“Yes!” Lucas answered while thinking about how Julian came to such a conclusion quickly.
“Okay, I am transferring the money.”
Lucas heaved an air of relief and was about to wipe off his sweats from his forehead when he heard Julian’s voice again.
“Bring her to me after buying her. I will make sure to check on her.” Julian spoke and hung up the call.
Lucas looked at the phone with a startled expression.
‘Why am I feeling as if I have done something bad behind her and she needs to keep me in check.’
“Haaaa…Whatever.” Lucas shrugged his shoulders and put down his smartphone and felt an odd gaze coming at him.
Tilting his head, he almost screamed seeing Reynold’s gaze filled with reverence and awe staring at him.
“What happened?” Lucas asked, taking a step back.
“Was it the Princess?” Reynold asked.
Lucas nodded and heard Reynold’s blabbering.
“Are you and Princess so close that you can make a phone call to her?”
“I can’t believe I am so envious of you, still hearing her sweet and cold voice makes my heart flutter. I can’t believe I was able to hear her voice in this lifetime. Finally, I can die in peace without any regret.” Reynold who was singing praises for Julian suddenly felt an intense killing directing him.
Lucas’s stare was enough to pin holes in his body and he looked as if he was going to swallow him alive.
Gulp!
Swallowing his saliva, he asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing!” Lucas answered coldly which sent chills down his spine and he stopped his unscrupulous from running apart.
Lucas didn’t know Julian’s charm can make a serious person like Reynold lose his head.
The item auction was already over and the slave’s auction started fiercely.
Only the men with exquisite features were able to fetch a good amount but as soon as a beautiful girl from any race came,a heaven-defying war started to take place.
The way things were going on, Lucas felt that even 200 million wouldn’t suffice to buy Layla.
[Now, we have the lady who can take away the dreams of the gentleman. Such a surreal and beautiful girl. Who knew how beautiful she would be when she grew up?]
[Let’s begin the bid for Elf girl Layla.]
‘Stop it, bastard. Not only is your flattery going to raise the price, but you are also going to be on the hit list.’
[Number 989 begins with 20 million!
pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴOᴠᴇʟ We have another bid of 35 million!]
After waiting for the heated war to calm down a bit and after many left the bid, Lucas finally pressed the buzzer with a bleeding heart.
[Number 603 bidded off with 68 million.]
Reynold, who seemed to be lost in thought about the historic moment of getting a chance to listen to the Princess’s voice, suddenly snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the heated battle.
[It’s number 603 again. This time he is bidding on 82 million.]
“Lucas, you are going over the budget.”
“No, matter how good that is. It’s not worth it?”
A further ten minutes passed during the heating battle.
Reynolds was already biting his teeth out of nervousness while sweat started to flow out from Lucas like a flood in the river.
[Number 603 bid again with 118 million.Anyone else who wants to be big again? Perhaps bidder 342 wants to bid again? Don’t miss the chance to get this beautiful girl.]
“Just hit the hammer, you bastard,” Lucas shouted furiously
The price had gone by a huge margin due to that lovesick bastard who didn’t back away.
“I will make sure to grind the money from him,” Lucas muttered inwardly.
[Congratulations to bidder number 603 for purchasing such a beautiful lady. May your future be filled with love]
‘Love, my foot!’Lucas cursed.
If this auctioneer had seen Layla after 3 years, he might have pissed his pants just by her single glance.
A heaven-defying beauty with a ruthlessness that runs deep down her bones while eyes filled with hatred and coldness enough to slaughter even a small innocent child without any blink.
That’s how she was described in The Dawn Of Legends.
After a few minutes, a man entered with Layla.
Her skin was as white as snow and her long pointy years along with yellow hairs would make her a dream waifu of any otaku.
Though her face looked peerless like jade, her body was riddled with scars.
She just wore clothes that seemed to be like some old rags which were enough to cover most of her body.
“Sir, here is the controller and the key” The man bowed and handed the things to Lucas.
The controller was the thing that can paralyze the slave by giving an electric shock with the help of the slave collar.
While the key was used to lock the handcuffs can make one unable to use mana.
“Sir, do you want her to sign the mana contract with her now?” He asked.
“You will not need the collar after you sign the contract.”
“No! I will do it some other time.” Lucas answered.
Lucas walked towards her, who seemed to be quite nervous as she saw Lucas gaze behind the mask.
She looked down, unable to look at the man who had purchased and whom she had served as master.
She didn’t know what kind of brutal life she had to suffer under the tyrant.
But still, she didn’t lose hope of getting her freedom back. She just needs to persist and satisfy these disgusting human demands.
While bracing herself for the first task of his master, she felt a soft linen cloth drafting over her and raised her head with surprise to see the man putting a cloak over her.
It felt quite warm and covered her body and also shook away the coldness which she had to endure.
Lucas looked at her surprising gaze and asked her to follow him.
“Reynold, I am leaving.” Lucas set off with simple words leaving Layla dazed for a moment and who followed him immediately.
…..
Lucas brought her to a hotel and booked two rooms.
He asked her to get a warm breath, get dressed properly, and meet him after finishing her tasks.
On the other hand Lucas sat in his room while fiddling with his fingers.
He thought carefully about what to do next.
Lucas had already decided in his heart.
If he can’t bring her to his side, he would get rid of her.
This was not just for the sake of humans or the future but also for him.
Layla carefully picked the most suitable time to have her revenge.
It is similar to a terrorist organization killing all the ministers and letting the entire systems collapse.
Killing the commander and generals, she created a situation of panic and with many vacant posts, so many people started to fight for it.
Moreover, Lucas aimed for a high post while serving in the war which could make his way to gain noble status easier.
The demons took this opportunity and almost wiped out the first wave of human soldiers.
It was later when Frederick along with many of his confidants took the role in the 4th year of Horizon to go to the border to serve in the army lessened the pressure.
As Lucas was lost in thoughts, the door opened and Layla walked inside gracefully with a face filled with nervousness.
