After instructing Savi to take care of the baby, Das took ten more minutes to get ready. Das took one more glance at the baby before leaving the house.
Later, Das followed Ria's Audi car in his Benz car. Even though Ria insisted on going in a single car, Das rejected her idea. The two luxury cars raced on the empty road. Shortly after half an hour, the two cars stopped before the black sheds in the port area.
At the parking place, there are already more than a hundred luxury cars parked in a particular order. Das also parked his car just beside Ria's Audi.
"Let's go; we are already late."
Ria walked towards a closed factory in a short distance. Das followed her without asking any more questions. At the factory door, two guys in a security guard uniform stopped them. Ria took out a gold coin from her purse, which has a symbol of an inverted triangle, and showed it to the security guard.
After verifying the gold coin, the security guard allowed them inside. At a distance from Das, he saw a large warehouse (godown), which is connected to a big auditorium building. Ria took him directly to the warehouse.
The warehouse was a large, spacious structure that was fully covered in all directions with a small door at the entrance. As Das entered through the small door, he saw a large number of girls who sat in a uniformed line, occupying the entire warehouse. There is a serial number attached to every girl's chest.
Some people who were dressed like rich businessmen were noting down the numbers on the girl's chest seriously.
"Ria, what is going on here?" Das asked while staring at the large number of women.
"The women are the new batch of girls. After selecting the girls they want to buy, the merchants will note down the serial number and price on the girls. Later, the dealer will deliver the girls after receiving payment from the merchants. See, my second sister is also selecting the girls." Ria pointed a finger towards her second sister, who was busily noting down a pretty girl's chest number. Das observed the entire process for a few more minutes.
"Ria, what if two people select the same girl?" Das asked with a questioning look.
"In that type of situation, the dealer will decide based on the personal choice. Usually, the large merchants were preferred over the small businessmen." Ria explained while walking towards the auditorium at the end of the warehouse.
The auditorium looked like a movie theatre, with a large podium at the base and seats arranged slantwise opposite the podium. The entire auditorium was already filled with people, and Ria took Das to the last row, at the top of everyone.
The last row seats were specially designed for VIP merchants. As the seven sisters were one of the major merchants, they were assigned the top rows of seats. As they reached the top row seats, already the third and fourth sisters were sitting leisurely waiting for them.
Das sat calmly beside Ria on the top row. The second sister, who is busy selecting the girls, also came back to the auditorium as the auction was about to start. As the other three sisters were happily talking to each other, Ria started explaining things to Das.
"Das, there will be ten girls auctioned every time. As the ten girls were the cream of the crop, not only merchants but also some private individuals and rich young masters will fight in the auction for the beautiful girls. Sometimes, the prices may go beyond five crore rupees, which is the highest number I have seen in this auction house." Ria explained auction details briefly.
"So, Das, I suggest you choose a girl whose cost is less than one crore rupees. If that amount exceeds one crore, I can't afford the cost." Ria was added before the start of the auction. After a few more minutes, an old man who is dressed in a black tuxedo steps onto the podium.
"Hello, A very good morning to everyone. As usual, the Zebra organisation is conducting the beauty auction. I'm thanking everyone for coming to this auction. As the time ticks faster in this beautiful morning time, I will start the auction without any delay."
"Guards! ..." the old man clapped his hands as a gesture to bring the ten women on to the podium. The guards brought ten girls to the podium and placed them uniformly on it. The girls were standing silently on the podium without making a single squeak sound.
"Ria, why were all these girls not at all resisting? And more than that, they were behaving obediently like a high school child." Das asked with a confused expression.
"Das, they already accepted their fate. They won't dare to disobey the master as they already experienced a hellish torture before getting ready for sale. No one is going to help them as the girls are under the Zebra Organisation, which is the number one secret agency dealing with a large number of girls all around Asia. The methods they choose to discipline a girl are crueller than Andaman jail." Ria gave Das a lot of information while observing the girls on the podium.
While pitying the lives of these women, Das also turned his focus on the stage. On the podium, the old man in a black suit slowly revealed the face of a petite teen on the stage. With a lite pink colour skin tone, an immature milky white face, and red colour lips, she is looking like a dream girl to everyone. Maybe because of the auction, they also applied suitable makeup to her petite face.
"The girl is a nineteen-year-old Russian-born beauty. As a starting bid, we are offering her at eighty lakhs, and each rise should be two lakhs. So, start bidding for this beauty." As the old man announced the starting bid, people raised their batons as a signal for a rise in price.
At the price of one crore, a young man who sat in the same row as Das purchased the Russian girl on the stage.
"Das, The young man's name is Jethin. He is the son of a top merchant from Delhi. Usually no one goes against his bid out of respect for his father. But this lass is throwing her weight around with his father's reputation." Ria said with an angry face.
"Hey, why are you getting serious over him? Cool down." Das said in a comforting tone.
"You don't know, Das. That Jethin is the worst person I have ever seen. He will purposefully go against our business to increase the price of the girls. Last time, we lost more than three crores extra because of his rival bidding." Ria said with a complaining tone.
"Then why don't you do the same thing?" Das asked with a grin.
"We've already tried that. But he is more cunning than my sisters. We always lost a big amount whenever we tried to go against him." Ria said while looking at the second girl on the stage.
Das did not think about the issue of this young master from Delhi. He just came here to take a look at the auction, and he doesn't want to face any more trouble from these mafia people.
Slowly, the auction continued on as the old man successfully auctioned off the eighth girl on the stage. Das did not like a single girl on the stage. They were looking more like decorated dolls in his eyes.
Das laughed at the idea of selecting a girl to take care of the baby from among these beauties. The last girl's face was revealed on the stage.
"Das, what do you think about the girl on stage?" Ria asked with a questioning look.
"She is definitely a beautiful girl with a good body. But she won't be suitable to take care of the baby." Das replied with a disappointed look. Ria also nodded her head in the form of approval.
The last girl is sold for a price of two crore sixty lakh rupees to the young man from Delhi. The second sister, who sat beside Ria, also brought three girls from the auction by spending six and a half crore. The old man announced the end of the auction after successfully selling the last girl for a good price.
But just before the old man said his final thanks, one of the subordinates brought one more girl on to the podium and said something that caught the old man's attention.
"Everyone, please sit down. There is a small issue to be clarified. The old man announced with a loud voice. Everyone's sat back curiously as they only auction ten girls at a time. But this time unexpectedly they brought a eleventh girl on the stage.
"Everybody, please don't misunderstand the situation, as the girl on the stage was personally sent by the dealer." The old man announced with prideful look.
