Chapter 1098: Transaction and Advancement (6)

The two angels were listless.

Their eyes were filled with despair.

But they still looked utterly holy.

It was Zhao Chi's first time seeing angels at such close range.

And seeing them in cages gave him a very inexplicable feeling.

The two angels saw each other.

They immediately stood up and rushed toward one another.

However, there was a distance between the cages.

They reached out their hands, but were burned back by the talismans.

It seemed this pair of angels knew each other — unclear whether siblings or lovers.

"Finael, you're still alive?" the male angel said, overjoyed.

"Yes, I never expected you to be alive either, sob…" the female angel began crying again. She must have been crying before — the tear tracks on her face were very obvious.

"Don't cry, don't cry…" the male angel comforted her weakly.

"Then what do we do? What options do we even have left?" the female angel asked through her tears, and turned her body away, not wanting the people at the auction staring at her.

"Damned humans…" the male angel stared straight at the crowd, his golden pupils filled with hatred.

The host nodded in satisfaction.

He beckoned, and several staff stepped forward to re-cover the two cages with cloth.

Then they were wheeled out of the auction hall.

The host smiled and said:

"Well then, everyone saw, didn't they? This pair of angels is absolutely young, and the starting bid is only 100 gold coins.

"Angels aren't easy to catch, and this pair still has a very long lifespan — buy them and the potential is limitless.

"Besides, these two angels are mates. After buying them, you can use one to control the other, so obedience is no concern.

"Everyone knows the value of angels, so I won't say more.

"Then, let us begin the auction of our first item of this session. Starting bid 100 gold coins, minimum increment 10 gold coins.

"Begin the auction!"

Instantly, someone in the audience raised their hand.

The host smiled: "Very good, Mr. B013 bids 100 gold coins."

Immediately, someone beside them raised their hand.

"Good, Ms. D109, 110 gold coins."

Right after, two more people raised their hands in succession.

"OK, Mr. A997, 120 gold coins; Mr. C003, 130 gold coins."

People raised their hands one after another.

The price climbed higher and higher.

But as the price accumulated, fewer and fewer hands went up, and soon there were none.

After a brief silence, a woman's hand was raised.

The host nodded: "Ms. B643 bids 220 gold coins."

No one raised their hand again.

220 gold coins for a pair of young angels — that price was rather steep.

The host smiled: "Any more bids? These are angels, mind you — very young angels. 220 gold coins, first call."

"You should all be able to tell that this pair of angels get along very well. They might even be able to breed new angels. Really no more bids? 220 gold coins, second call."

"This pair of angels has already passed their juvenile stage. Buy them now and you can use them right away, and for a very, very long time. Really no more bids?"

The host raised the wooden gavel high.

He swept his gaze left and right once more.

Confirmed that truly no one was raising their hand.

"220 gold coins, third call — sold!"

Crack!

The wooden gavel fell heavily.

The auction was successful.

Soon, staff went up and had Ms. B643 sign.

Immediately after.
