"There is a well-known science that saying blood of young people can age-reversing one's body. But not many people know that blood of special young people can not only age-reversing but also fix brain damage. The definition of special is children with purer spirit and knowledge than average children. They can be categorized as indigo, crystal, rainbow, and the highest one is diamond. Blood of diamond child is believed can fix a severe brain damage. However, diamond children are very difficult to find and almost impossible to handle. We found this one child who was a diamond child in the deepest reaches of Black continent. And in order to collect this blood, we suffered no less than a thousand casualties, not to mention loss of the child's live as he and his tribe refused to corporate."
There are gasps and murmurs heard from the audiences below to hear the last sentence of a white-hair man that known to be the owner of the item. The man cold expression doesn't change a bit at the gasps and murmurs. He raises his hand, showing a retort that is half-filled with red liquid.
"We managed to take this much of his blood before the boy decided to explode him self, destroying his body, his village, and our colleagues." Only then, a slight of sadness appears on his face. But I know better that it is only for an act. The man exaggeratedly exhales then continue, "Because of that much of damage, we decided to sell this precious blood for no less than 75 grand with 8 grand for each increase."
This time, the gasp is let out from the mouth of Miss Lee beside me. She did it subconsciously as her all attention is still drawn to the stage.
"Naega dangsin-eul wihae geugeos-eul igigileul wonhasibnikka? (Do you want me to win it for you ?)" My question jolts Miss Lee to surprise. She reflexively turns her head to me.
"Mueos ? (What ?)" She asks dumbfoundedly.
"Dangsin-eun geugeos-e maeu gwansim-i boinda (You seem very interested in it). Naega dangsin-eul wihae geugeos-eul igigileul wonhasibnikka? (Do you want me to win it for you?)" I repeat my question.
"Oh... Aniyo. geuleol pil-yoga eobs-seubnida. (No. You don't have to)," Miss Lee rejects my offer.
I say no more word, but my gaze is straight toward her, observing her movement. Knowing to be observed, Miss Lee deliberately loose her tension. Acting like she doesn't care that much about the Diamond child's blood, she pours her self a glass of wine then leans her self back into my arm. Still, she can not escape from me how she gives her full attention to the bidding that is happening for the diamond child's blood.
"750 grand for 1! 750 grand for 2! 750 grand for 3! 750 grand for 4" The announcer is counting. Miss Lee, once again, subconsciously pulls back and straightens her body. It is obvious that she is very interested in this particular item. "750 grand for 5!! And the Diamond child's blood is sold to room A for 750 thousands Galliluere dollar!!!"
Miss Lee subconsciously shifts her gaze to where Room A's balcony at while audiences below are clapping for the result.
"750 grand !! Amazing !!" the master of ceremony says to subside the claps. "Okay, let's continue with the next item..."
Once again the curtain on the stage is opened showing a glass box. Inside the box stands a neck mannequin to display a necklace.
"Maeu aleumdaun (So beautiful)," Miss Lee's whisper makes me smirk a little.
"Some of you may heard about the infamous heist several years ago that took place in country B. The heist took a vault that consisted numerous diamonds and jewelry. No one took responsible about the heist and the treasure was never found. Well, until recently. This piece of art..." The master of ceremony points his hand to the glass box, "is one of the treasure in the vault."
All audiences murmurs. "This necklace has 200 carats of diamonds on its chain and one big pink diamond that has perfect seven star-glares. The owner of this item refused to make an appearance for a very understandable reason, of course. Thus, for this item, the auction bought it from its owner and we sell it here tonight with price starts from 25 grand, increases by two and half grand each."
Miss Lee encloses her body toward me and rounds her arm around my waist. "Naui salang (My love)," She whispers with spoilt tone.
"Hmm..?"
"Dangsin-eun naleul wihae geugeos-eul igil su issseubnikka? (Can you win it for me ?)" She asks.
I give her a thin smile. "Mullon. Dangsin-eul wihae mueos-ideun (Of course. Anything for you)," I grant her request. Miss Lee shrieks then pecks my cheek.
Thus, I reach the remote control and push the black button to start joining the bidding.
"Room E for 30," the announcer saying my bidding. "Number 39 for 32.5. Room E for 35. 39 for 37.5. Room E for 40..."
I keep on bidding until all my competitors give up. Eventually, I win the necklace for 87.5 thousand Galliluere dollars. Miss Lee shrieks again in joy before hugs me tight.
"Maeu gamsahabnida (Thank you very much)," She says in joy. "Dangsin-eun choegoyeyo (You're the best)"
I smirk to hear her praise. I know she is only acting.But I decide to play along and just kiss her hair.
"And... for the last item for tonight..."
A middle-east man appears from the opened curtain. His gloved hand gropes outer pocket of his jacket suit and shows a tiny box made out of concrete to the audience. The man then speaks. "Inside this concrete box is a frozen nuclear bomb core. This is the same bomb core used at second world war back then. But, we have updated it to have a hundred times of impact, yet ten times easier to be stabilized."
"Nuga haeg-eul sago sip-eo? (Who wants to buy nuclear ?)" Miss Lee murmurs with frown on her forehead.
"Michin salamdeul (Crazy people)," I answer her shortly while my attention still on the bidding. Of course ones who bid are not crazy people. This nuclear core is the most ultimate weapon. Any country who has it will surely have strong bargaining power in the world. I bet the bidders are representative form countries.
"And the core of nuclear bomb is sold for one and a half million Galliluere dollars to Room A!!"
"Leol suga!! Abang-e nuga geuleohge bujaga doelyeogo?! (Unbelievable!! Who's in Room A must be that rich?!)" Miss Lee exclaims in reflex.
My mind is thinking the same thing, of course with a totally different purpose.
