A spotlight shone on the center of the platform, and the red cloth was slowly lifted. Looking at the person huddled in the corner of the box, Zhou Siyu felt like his back teeth were about to grind to dust.

Even though he was wearing a mask, he recognized the person in the box at a glance. It was Yu Wei, the one who had been beaten all day and should have been resting in the army.

Enraged, Zhou Siyu slammed his fist over the table, causing quite a commotion. Countless eyes swept over, and a waiter hurriedly stepped forward to ask in a low voice.

Zhou Siyu waved his hand, signaling the waiter to change the table. He didn't want to know what was wrong with Yu Wei; he just wanted to rush up and beat him to death.

Wearing so little, who are you trying to seduce?

Damn it, if I don't beat him to death, I'll change Zhou Siyu's name backwards!

A disappointed sigh rang out from the audience. How could they be sure it was an S-class item when it was covered up so tightly?

The fact that a living person is wearing a mask indicates that the mask was obtained through a third-party channel, and its legality will not be investigated.

The presence of a live, unmasked mermaid suggests that the organization obtained the object through illegal means.

Due to the involvement of third parties, the prices of the goods being traded were significantly higher than those offered by the organizers. Moreover, most third parties offer physical goods; offering live animals is a first.

Yu Wei leaned against the corner, his fists clenched tightly, his long eyelashes trembling, and fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Under the stimulation of the high-purity Jinxian Su, his glands were abnormally active, forcing him to follow his instincts and find an Omega.

The cramped space was already filled with pheromones, and even the fragrance of wood and grass overflowed from the exhaust vents, spreading to every corner.

Yu Wei opened his eyes with difficulty, his gaze wandering across the audience. He could sense that Zhou Siyu was nearby. The bond between the two of them made their hearts beat faster when they got close to each other, and they could recognize each other by feeling within a certain distance.

The searching gaze swept over the identical masked faces, meeting pairs of eyes like hungry wolves, but it still couldn't find those familiar amber eyes.

Yu Wei became agitated, got up and paced around in the cramped box, constantly groping around, releasing pheromones as if they were free.

The cold, rich scent of citronella grass filled the space, and the audience seats were filled with the sounds of swallowing and soft, lingering moans. The pheromones of a high-level Alpha are a deadly poison to all Omegas; just a little is enough to arouse the desire of a low-level Omega to the greatest extent.

The overwhelming influx of Omega pheromones made Yu Wei even more agitated. He began frantically pounding on the glass, completely unaware that the cloak's ties had been torn open.

The black cloak slowly slipped down, and with each swallowing sound from the audience, Zhou Siyu's face darkened further.

Damn it, Yu Wei is his!

A healthy tan, perfect head-to-body ratio, well-proportioned and beautiful muscles, perfectly defined eight-pack abs, long and straight legs—it's all his! Only he can look at him!

He's going to gouge out these people's eyes! He's going to hide Yu Wei away!

Apart from him, none of them are worthy of seeing Yu Wei or smelling his pheromones.

He's mine!

Yu Wei roared like a wild beast, pounding the glass wildly. Blood flowed down the glass, but the hard glass did not crack at all.

"What is he doing?" The man sitting in the chair, constantly monitoring everyone's every move, picked up his communicator and contacted the auctioneer. "Quickly find a way to keep him calm! Distribute inhibitors to the audience."

The frantic release of pheromones had already driven all the Omegas in the audience crazy, and they were on the verge of losing control at any moment.

Zhou Siyu bit his lower lip hard. Yu Wei's pheromones were ten thousand times more attractive to him than to other Omegas. He wished he could immediately take Yu Wei home and enjoy his Alpha all to himself.

The mermaid next to Yu Wei wasn't much better off. Her eyes were tinged with a thin layer of red, her beautiful eyes were brimming with emotion, her thin lips were slightly parted, and her pretty fishtail was swinging wildly, creating huge splashes of water in the narrow space. The chains slammed heavily against the box.

A group of people dressed in black robes slowly walked onto the stage and injected a large amount of anesthetic gas into the box through the exhaust vent. The manic Yu Wei gradually calmed down, closed his eyes, and collapsed against the glass.

Just in case, the man in black opened the door and injected Yu Wei with two doses of inhibitors, while also giving the merman some anesthesia.

The room finally quieted down. The auctioneer cleared his throat and announced loudly, "S-class Alpha, starting price 60 billion, minimum increment 50 million."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire room was shocked. Eight hundred billion—that threshold would eliminate at least two-thirds of the participants.

The people sitting here aren't just from Planet Eighteen; many of the invitees are from the First Star Region and are truly wealthy. However, to be able to casually throw out 60 billion, one would have to be at least at the level of the Chu family.

"Starfish Larvis, a mermaid, starting price... 80 billion... each bid must be at least 50 million..."

Everyone gasped. The Lalves Sea was known as the most dangerous sea in the entire alliance, with reefs, glaciers, thunderstorms, tsunamis, and ferocious mermaids. Of ten people who went there, nine died and one went mad.

However, the mermaids of the Lalves Sea are so beautiful that they would be perfect as pets.

The audience was filled with murmurs. Zhou Siyu lowered her eyes and calmly observed the mermaid, her index finger slightly bent as she gently tapped the armrest.

I originally just wanted to go through the motions today and see if I could take any interesting photos, but who knew that Yu Wei, that big idiot, would get himself into this mess.

Six hundred billion is not out of the question, but it feels like it's not worth spending on Yu Wei. It would be better to buy a fish to make soup at home. Wild fish should taste better than ordinary fish sold in the market. Or you could keep it in a tank. With that big tail, it would be quite a sight.

"bite……"

A silver bell rang, and a person was the first to raise a sign. A deep voice rang out, "Six hundred and fifty million, Alpha."
