The host passionately spread his arms wide, beaming with a fervent smile: "Now, let's present Item No.1, from the Troia Kingdom of the West Sea, a proud Pirate from a family of musicians, an all-round talent with musical instruments! He is a living human music box who can create vivid melodies just by picking up an instrument!"
"Moreover, as a human, he is very attentive to cleanliness himself. Besides being a musician, he can also serve as a cleaner. With his skills, I'm sure he can offer you a spotless home!"
"Of course, these are merely his skills and not his specialty. Ironically, as a Pirate, he possesses excellent winemaking skills!"
"He can play music, make wine, clean, and perhaps even serve as a butler. I'm confident that with proper training, he can manage all of your estates, and perhaps bring in a new stream of income for you!"
The host gestured to the side, pointing at a man with parted curly hair, resembling a musician, who was brought in by two guards:
"Byron, twenty-five years old, height of 192cm, weight of 130kg! Being item number 1, it's our special offer, so the starting bid for humans is normally fifty thousand, but we're lowering it to forty-eight thousand Belly. Now, let the bidding begin!"
"Forty-eight thousand Belly? That's quite a bargain, sounds good."
The owner of number 7 raised the paddle, "Forty-eight thousand Belly."
But soon, someone raised a new bid.
"Fifty thousand Belly!"
"Fifty-two thousand Belly!"
"Fifty-three thousand Belly!"
"Sixty, sixty thousand Belly!" The owner of number 7 quickly raised the paddle upon seeing the increasing bids.
"Sixty thousand Belly, sixty thousand Belly, anyone else? This Pirate who can both make wine, play music, and clean, possibly your future butler, might also become a famous wine-tasting master, a renowned musician, who can make crowds cheer, a big star at concert stages, bringing both prestige and new benefits to you all."
"Buy him, perhaps you could earn six hundred thousand Belly, sixty million Belly! Any more bids, if not, then sixty thousand Belly, for number 7, going..."
"One million Belly."
A robust voice echoed from the doorway.
Sage entered with Lily, laughing loudly: "I bid one million Belly to buy him, a musician, I like it very much!"
"Alright, this guest has bid one million Belly, but it seems you don't have a paddle. I apologize, as much as I want to sell to you, you don't have the qualification to participate here. Thanks to this guest's enthusiasm, please return next month...oh, it turns out to be number 44, number 44 bids one million Belly!"
With a smile, the host pointed at number 44, holding the paddle in the center of the venue.
Sage descended from the stairs, while Kalifa quickly stood up, leaving the seat for Sage, standing to the left and right with Lily.
"Is it worth buying such a fellow? He doesn't seem very strong." Kalifa asked.
"Does strength matter? Getting some professional talent makes parties lively, and besides..."
Sage leaned back, pulling out a cigar from his cloak, lit it with a lighter, exhaling smoke, "Buy first then snatch, I do follow principles!"
If Doflamingo doesn't want this place, then this place becomes ownerless property, but if he does, Sage would buy it out of respect for their partnership, but now...
Once his goods arrive, they can snatch them all at once.
Sage looked at the stage with a grin, where both sides were emblazoned with a marked smile face, smirking:
"Kalifa, head backstage, let them find Doflamingo, Doflamingo will teach them what to do, then wait for the subordinates to seal this place, these people... they must also participate in my auction!"
