Appetizers
Most of the people in the field are males, but there are still a few who are high-level, high-quality males like him.
There were only a few female members, all waiting in the private rooms on the second floor. Their windows faced the auction platform in front of them, and they could clearly see the items on the platform by leaning against the railing.
When Knox showed up, he immediately attracted some attention.
Not long after, a male attendant hurried down from the second floor, holding an exquisite invitation card in his hand.
He trotted up to Knox, a flattering smile on his face, politely stopped him and said:
"My distinguished guest, my young lady has sent a servant to invite you upstairs to drink with us."
After saying that, he handed the invitation card to Knox.
Knox frowned slightly, his eyes quickly scanning the exquisitely crafted card, feeling a little surprised, but after hesitating for two seconds, he reached out to take the invitation card.
He responded politely with a smile:
"Thank you very much for your invitation, Miss. Please convey my gratitude. However, I have some things to attend to at the moment, so I will definitely attend to the appointment later."
The attendant nodded to show that he understood, then turned and left.
But as soon as the servant left, two or three more people came running over in the same way.
They all held similar invitation cards in their hands, and walked up to Knox, smiling and extending the same invitation, hoping that Knox would come upstairs to drink.
Faced with these invitations one after another, Knox couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
But out of politeness, he still accepted the invitation cards one by one and politely said that he would go later.
After the people who had given out the invitation cards had left, a figure suddenly emerged from the crowd.
The man was wearing a lifelike fox mask and was slightly fat.
He walked quickly to Knox's side, and without saying a word, he snatched the thick stack of invitation cards from Knox's hand, laughing and jokingly saying:
"Hey, look at how popular you are! You're so popular with the females! It's really enviable!"
Although the mask was equipped with a voice-changing device that could alter the voice, Knox had already noticed and memorized Roger's unique walking posture because he had met Roger twice before.
So at this moment, even though Roger was wearing a mask, Knox could still easily recognize that the person in front of him was Roger.
On the other side, Roger obviously recognized Knox at a glance.
Knox quickly snatched the card from Roger.
He stood expressionless, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked slowly in a cold and steady tone: "Do you think I really should go up?"
At this moment, the hall was echoing with deafening heavy metal music, and the sound waves hit the eardrums like waves.
In this noisy environment, the two could not have a normal conversation, so they looked at each other and walked towards the corner tacitly.
Arriving in a relatively quiet corner, Roger casually picked up a colorful cocktail from a passing waiter's tray and then answered slowly:
"Of course! Since a female has invited you, how can you miss such a rare opportunity?"
Roger looked at Knox. "Besides, your physique is truly outstanding! Your muscles are well-defined, strong and sturdy. You look like a true macho!"
As he spoke, Roger stretched out his right hand without hesitation, touched Knox's broad and thick chest, and squeezed the chest muscle that was as hard as steel.
Knox obviously did not expect Roger to do this suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.
But within a few seconds, his originally calm expression instantly darkened, and an invisible pressure was suddenly released from his body, and the air around him seemed to tremble slightly because of his anger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Roger secretly cried out in his heart, and quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. His face was full of ingratiating smiles, and he kept laughing dryly:
"Don't be angry, brother. I was just joking. Speaking of which, with your strong physique and tenacious will, you can easily handle the whips, heavy shackles, and even burning red candles in the hands of those females!"
Roger: "Of course, if you're unlucky, you'll have to deal with their large, vicious dogs or aggressive horses. But it's no big deal. As long as you're willing to give it your all, you'll definitely find great pleasure in it. What do you think, buddy? Give it some thought?"
Knox: “…”
Knox's expression hidden behind the mask was quite complicated.
But it’s true that ordinary females have no shortage of male partners in their lives.
Most of those who come here to participate in the auction have unknown hobbies.
Normally marked male partners will be registered and recorded in the White Tower system. If an accident occurs, they will be in trouble.
But the males bought back from auction on the black market definitely do not need to be registered, so they can treat them as they please.
When Knox thought of this, his expression became even more complicated. It turned out that it wasn't just females that were being bought and sold; males might be even more common.
After all, there are too many males, so even if they are harmed by females, the White Tower generally won't care.
What can we do about it?
They are reluctant to punish the rare females.
At most, the females will be sent to inferior planets as grooming instructors, which will cause no real harm.
Knox put the invitation cards into his pocket. At this moment, Roger, who was wearing a fox mask beside him, suddenly looked up at the high auction table and shouted excitedly to Knox:
"Here it comes! Tonight's appetizer is here!"
There are many items for auction on Caster Island, among which rare females and high-level males are always the finale exhibits.
When auctions first start, they usually sell items that are not rare.
For example, expensive high-level nutrient solutions. These items can be purchased everywhere on advanced planets, but are difficult to find on backward and desolate planets, so they are also included in the auction list.
After all, most of these people who wander in the gray area of interstellar law are listed on the wanted list of the Interstellar Alliance. They dare not set foot on advanced planets and can only travel around backward planets and purchase the necessary supplies through black market channels.
This was not Knox's first time participating in such an auction and he was quite familiar with the processes.
He planned to take a tour around first to understand the internal structure of Caster Island.
In addition, he also wanted to go to the backstage of the auction to check it out.
There are probably many females imprisoned there. Most of them are not bought and sold directly, but auctioned for "grooming services", including simple counseling, deep counseling, and even dual counseling covering physical and mental strength. The price of each level is different.
The female who was bought by Edmund and then abused, suffered a mental breakdown and fell into a coma, must have been imprisoned on Caster Island for a long time. Knox thought that perhaps he could get useful clues from these females.
Knox slowly placed the wine glass on the table and whispered to Roger beside him with a smile: "Sorry, brother, I have to go to the bathroom."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around quickly and walked towards the bathroom with steady steps.
At this moment, the audience was crowded and the noise was endless.
After hearing what Knox said, Roger quickly turned around to look, but he only saw his back quickly blending into the crowd until it disappeared.
Roger couldn't help but frown and muttered, "Hey, why is this guy leaving in such a hurry? There are a lot of treasures to be unveiled today!"
