Mortimer Toynbee

Her Auction

[MATURE CONTENT] "This could be that once in a lifetime chance, Kore." "You will be the diamond of this auction, all eyes will be on you, they will go all out to get you, because you are a Mortimer, and in Crims'On that may be a bad thing, but out of here it ain't. Not even in Hell is, if you want to know." "I don't want to know," I scowled at the idea. "Well, either way, the auction stars from lady number 1 and ends on lady number 10, the 10th is the diamond, and the highest bids always go to the 9th and the 10th ladies. This year, mom is making sure we'll break her record. So, she will rise one hundred million mahjs in each lady, which I shouldn't be telling you as I signed an NDA about it, but it seems like you need to know to possibly rethink that depressing decision of yours. There's always only one lady from Crims'On, except on my mom's aucton because she was the diamond, and the Crims'On ladies are always the diamonds, so you will be number 10, the last one." Justine nodded, "The 1st girl will be auctioned for more than 100 million mahjs, Kore, because the price always rises above the first bid, always. By the time your turn comes, the bid will start in 1 billion mahjs, and it will rise exponentially and probably go up to 10 billion if not more, because you are a Mortimer after all and more than 50 out of the 100 males handpicked for it by Grég's mom will be there solely to buy you, to marry you and get their offsprings out of your bloodline. Because that's what the auction is about, it's not sex slaves or some shit, it's to buy them a suitable wife from an important bloodline, so they can have even stronger children, and there ain't no bloodline more wanted than yours right now." "All the other nine girls will be getting 10% out of their selling price!" Clenching my jaw, I narrowed my eyes at him, "Are you open to bargain?" Their eyes widened as if they had not expected me to say that, "Yes!" "I know how much I'm worth, and it's a very, very high price, and if I'm the one on the line of fire here, plus I know the power my bloodline carries, just as I know the weight and the consequences of it. I want more than 10%. I want 20%!" That could make me a billionaire, I might never be able to be one aside from this. Justine gasped and he swallowed, "15%!" He tried to bargain. Bitch, I'm more expensive than that. "25%, non-negotiable!" I exclaimed. "That's a bloody lot," they gasped. "I ain't asking for 50%, am I? I could, given how much I know for a fact that your family craves to sell me. I'm asking for 25%, that's ¼ of what you will get by selling me off to whoever. What if a bastard from Hell buys me? That would be a fucking nightmare, so, this is damage control. If you can guarantee me that I will get 25% and be a billionaire by doing this stupidity, I will do it!" They shared a look and back to me, "I promise in the name of the Styx." I grinned mischievously, "Well, you better back that up, sunny boy." "But you have to promise too!" He exclaimed. So, I raised my hand, "I promise, that if you keep your promise, and give me 25% of the profit you gain on my back, with no taxes or complaints, I will be as agreeable as possible and take part of this year's Valentine's Auction to sell me off to marry a stranger, in the name of the Styx."

The Trial of Sherlock Holmes

Since Sherlock Holmes returned, clarifying that he didn´t die while fighting professor James Moriarty, and before the subsequent discovery of the body of his former archenemy, Scotland Yard and the French police, whose director is outraged because the detective has meddled in delicate affairs of that nation, have been investigating the famous detective. In the first days of January 1898, the High Court of Justice unusually returned to session, without having finished the judicial holidays, while Sherlock Holmes received a house arrest order and the file with three charges against him. In this regard, the brilliant detective is accused of: a) murdering James Moriarty, b) allowing the escape of Dr. Leon Sterndale, murderer of Mortimer Tregennis, and c) contributing to the escape of Captain Jack Croker, murderer of Sir Eustace Brackenstall. This is the trial of the century! British and continental European newspapers give extensive coverage to this legal process and many sympathizers of Sherlock Holmes flock to the courthouse. The prosecution, led by the top bosses of Scotland Yard and the French police, has assigned Stanley Hopkins to act as prosecutor. While Sherlock Holmes has the support of the two best lawyers in London, hired by his brother Mycroft, and John McFarlane. The trial is complicated and the situation does not look flattering for Sherlock Holmes. The accusers have brought the convicted Sebastian Moran, a witness of the alleged murder of James Moriarty, and are sure that the detective will also be convicted on the last two charges. In addition to this, Dr. Watson is also accused of complicity in those two charges, obstruction of justice and withholding information that the authorities need. Finally, Sherlock Holmes surprises by resorting to the support of unexpected allies, carrying out unprecedented actions, bringing witnesses to cry for him and turning the courtroom into a circus (there was even a tomato attack against an enemy of the detective), while Dr. Watson, on the verge of a nervous and emotional breakdown, hopes that they will never live that horrible nightmare again...
