The auction continued, but Yu was forced to remain in place by two guards especially for him, while the others, even the females had only a single guard to prevent not just any accidents to them, but also to prevent them from escaping.
'It seems the one who bought me has a high standing here' Yu sighed again as his chances of escape had dimmed considerably. However, he was still looking around for a method to escape.
He did not wish for his future to be left at the hands of someone he did not even know, especially considering all that he knew about slaves and how they were treated in novels and movies.
Yet, the left wing of the stage did not have a door to connect with anything else. It was just simply a room built using wood with no exits. Kai also noticed a few gas lamps which were light inside the wooden room to produce light.
An idea was slowly forming in his mind as he began to stretch slowly, ignoring the pain from the cuts near his mask. Although his dying would not physically affect Kai, he still wanted to live. Both Kai and himself did not want him to die.
However, instead of moving a step away to allow him to perform his stretches, the guard each just yanked at the chains they had in their hands, shocking Yu as both his arms were swung to the sides while he was standing upright as though he was crucified.
"Haha~"
A demotivated chuckle escaped his lips as he turned to each of the guards dressed in full black leather armour with black metal helmets and short swords as their waists.
Right now, if he tried to pull out one of their swords, he might be able to pull it out and stab one of them, but the other would have already stabbed him with his own.
It was already a hopeless situation when the pirate cosplayer entered the room and took hold of Yu using the chain from the padlock around his neck, leading to a handle for him to grip onto to prevent him from running away.
Furthermore, this man was stupidly strong and Yu had seen it first-hand as his punch moved faster than he could see and the child's head was obliterated. Plus, he had no weapons, so now that he has taken hold of him and was dragging him to the end of the room where nobody was present, he was now left with no options.
The pirate-like man used his knuckles to knock on a section of the wall, and within just 3 seconds, that section of the wall suddenly began ringing with the clanking sounds of shifting gears as a door appeared and began to slide into the wall.
The pirate cosplayer pulled Yu into the dark passage which was revealed and continued walking as the surroundings gradually turned from a dark unkept underground passage to a luxuriously decorated passage before they finally came to a door.
The man spoke some more in his language after knocking on the door before it was opened.
Inside, Kai found two hooded figures as well as a completely naked lady around the age of 20, in chains just like himself. The man dragged Yu over to them and handed the handle of his neck padlock as well as the contract he had pressed his bloody thumb into to the ladies in black cloaks.
Without saying anything, the one who accepted Yu's handle and contract inspected the contract as well as Yu, who had quite a few wounds on his face around the mask and clicked her tongue. Clearly, both of them were females.
Since they were female, perhaps he could appeal to their emotional side to allow them to release him.
'Then again… I cannot speak their language, and they are clearly here to purchase slaves for a reason, else if they were here out of some heroic spirit within themselves to free slaves, they would have bought more. But, I might be able to escape this place after the wannabe pirate leaves' Yu Mused to himself.
The cloaked lady handed 2 gold coins to the man who grinned as he bowed and left the room.
The two conversed for a bit before they turned their attention to the lady slave and handed her a cloak, which she immediately put in herself to cover her body. The two ladies then turned their attention to Yu and began peaking.
Yu shrugged visibly as he shook his head before gesturing for a pen and paper. Kai was free at the moment, so he decided to make use of this moment to try and converse with them.
Being slightly taken back by the odd request of the male slave, the first hooded lady did not react, however, the first one immediately took out an old and tattered piece of yellowish paper as well as a piece of black wood from the fireplace in the VIP room, waiting patiently with a smirk on her face as though she was watching a monkey about to perform a trick.
