Women of C level and below are sold as prostitutes in different countries, B-level ones are sold as slaves to wealthy and influential individuals, and A-level ones are auctioned for greater profits. Where were you auctioned?"
"I was unconscious at the time, completely unaware, but I woke up in the Caribbean open sea, I think... it must have been not far from their auction site."
"Open sea?" Joe nodded slowly, "Right, my guess wasn't wrong. They probably held the auction on a cruise ship out at sea. It's a gambling ship on the surface, but in actuality, it's a place where wealthy men from various countries come for auctions."
