"But this is inhuman," Xia shouted.
Long rushed next to him and held him close. "Xia we can discuss this later. First, we need to find Yukiya," he whispered.
Xia strained in his arms, but later he took a deep breath and calmed himself. "Where is your boss?" he said.
"Right this way," the man had lost his patience explaining things. He took them directly to a remote courtyard.
On the way, Xia carefully looked inside each of the cage trying to find traces of his mother.
But there were only a few in sight before they reached the kidnapping gang's leader.
The man leading them stopped in front of the door and silently stood guard by the doorway. Sighing, Xia and Long entered the room at first the room seemed deserted but a silent man was standing in the inconspicuous corner. His back faced them as he gazed out the window.
"Guests welcome to Black Auction," he said and slowly turned towards them.
