The bearded fishman had made me follow him upstairs. He seemed to be quite the respected guest, as most people he would cross would bow when they got a glance at him.

However, that wasn\'t the strangest thing about this place. It was the number of people from all races. There were humans, elves, fishmen, dwarves, you name it. There were literally thousands of people in some kind of secret auction.

\'Does the Emperor know about this?\' I thought.

I had a feeling he knew about this place, and that was concerning to me. I already knew that the Emperor didn\'t fully trust me, and it was the same thing for me. I wanted to know more about him before I started telling him everything I knew.

If I ever found out that the Emperor was affiliated with a place that sold off slaves…I don\'t know what I would do. But one thing was sure, it wouldn\'t be pretty.

Nevertheless, I put those thoughts of mine in the back of my mind as the door the Fishman had been knocking on suddenly opened.

I tried to ask the fishman some questions about this place, but he hadn\'t said anything yet.

He had kept silent ever since we had entered this auction house. However, he was a good customer from the looks of it. Truth be told, the more I looked at him, the more I thought that there was a slight chance that he was the boss of the Ocean Outlaws.

Still, he didn\'t look like much. I couldn\'t feel the slightest amount of strength coming from his body. It was strange.

As the door opened, we were met with two beautiful elven maids who were tight outfits, showing off their nice curves.

"Hello, esteemed guest. We are happy to see you once more."

"Take care of him," the Fishman said as he pointed in my direction, causing the two maids to look directly at me. "He\'s new. Make sure he knows how this place works."

"Of course, esteemed guest! We\'ll explain everything to him!"

After he said that, the Fishman walked over to one of the few chairs that were a few meters away from where we were standing. With a quick look, I was able to see the silhouette of a few different people, which meant that we weren\'t alone in this private room.

However, before I could follow him, I was pulled away by the two maids.

"Ladies, ladies, calm down. There\'s enough of me for the two of you," I said with a smirk, clearly joking.

Within seconds, they stopped pulling me as they just stood beside me.

"Could you sit there…?" One of them finally spoke up. She seemed quite shy as she looked in my direction, which was strange considering her profession, but I listened and sat on the floor.

"Of course, but could I know both of your names?" Enjoy exclusive content from M V L

I had a good feeling that the two elves standing before me were something else than maids.

In fact, I was almost sure that all the staff members of this auction house were slaves, which was something that was making my blood boil at this very moment. Still, I managed to control myself. This wasn\'t the time nor the place to go ballistic on everyone in this place.

"She\'s Nymira, and I\'m Lirael. What about y-"

Nymira had long blonde hair and quite the perfect body. Lirael had similar proportions, however, her hair was brown, making it quite simple to differentiate the two of them.

Before she finished talking, Nymira put her hand on Lirael\'s face, making it impossible for her to continue speaking.

"Sorry, that was rude of her. Please don\'t punish her…"

I frowned. This reaction definitely wasn\'t normal, however, I didn\'t let it show on my face. I needed to learn more about this place and fast. It was a good thing that the girls before me had no idea who I was or why I was even brought here. They probably that I was a big deal considering that I came with the bearded fishman.

"Ah, it\'s fine. I don\'t mind you guys asking my name, haha. It\'s Caedrel, Caedrel Stuart! Nice to meet you, ladies."

The two of them blushed once more as they could barely look straight into my eyes.

\'I guess I really am that beautiful, huh? Ava, now them…maybe I was always a charmer, but I never found out because I was always fighting on the battlefield?\' I thought, noticing that most girls I had talked to since I became a professor were mostly shy around me.

"N-Nice to meet you…" The two of them said in complete unison.

I brought my head forward and whispered, "So, which one of you two is going to explain what this place is and how it works?"

"Oh, right…!" Nymira exclaimed. "This place is the Underground Auction House! It\'s a secret place that no one apart from a select few knows about. Here, the richest and most powerful people around the world gather and buy everything they desire…at a certain price, of course."

"Hmm, alright. And where are we exactly?"

"That\'s a secret. After all, we can have undesired visitors coming here since it wouldn\'t be very secret at that point, now would it?"

I nodded slowly as what she had just said were things that I had managed to grasp already by walking and hearing what was happening in this place.

"I see, then…would it be possible for me to buy you two beautiful ladies? You see, I need help with some hard tasks…in my job."

The two of them didn\'t say anything at first as they just looked at each other with a red face, clearly surprised by what I had just asked. But hey, I was actually serious, I was actually interested in buying them. I needed some help around in my class to deal with the boring paperwork and some tasks.

After all, I missed out on getting an assistant to help me, so this was pretty much the perfect occasion to get one or two…I\'m not one to count. I also didn\'t want them to rot in this place any longer, if I could get them out, I would do it in a heartbeat.

"You could potentially buy us…but we\'re quite expensive," Lirael said as if there was no chance I could have enough to buy them.

However, the look on her face completely changed when I asked my next question.

"How much?"
