What do they really want?
Begwei sat in his spacious office, feeling depressed as if he was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Listening to Charlie's words, he frowned, picked up the water glass that had been prepared on the table in a distracted manner, and took a few gulps with his head tilted back.
After a long time, he slowly spoke, choosing his words carefully:
"Right now, we need to find a perfect opportunity..."
You know, the relationships between those traditional and conservative old families are so complicated that they are like the roots of towering trees, deeply rooted in this land.
Although the Dorothy family is famous, it is only one of the four major families.
It is not easy to completely eradicate them and make it impossible for the old-school nobles to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Begway's face became even gloomier. He fell into deep thought, his brain working rapidly to think of a countermeasure.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar.
A moment later, Valua and Gal strode to the office door.
Valua raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, shouting, "Your Highness! I have important information to report!"
Charlie walked forward with steady steps, grasped the closed door handle and turned it, and the door opened with a "click".
He asked anxiously, "Did you discover any important information? Are there any new clues?"
His sharp eyes stared at Valua and Gal, as if he wanted to read the answer directly from their faces.
Valuya didn't dare to delay and quickly handed the opened intelligent computer in his hand to Charlie. He lowered his voice and said, "I accidentally discovered this while monitoring online public opinion just now."
He pointed to a document in his brain that had a strange emblem printed on it. It was filled with densely packed names and descriptions of items, like a mysterious list.
Valua continued to explain: "It is rumored that this is most likely the list of items for the Caster Island auction!"
There is a key item on the list, marked "tentacles".
Gar, who had been standing next to Valua, added with a serious expression, "Although the authenticity of the list cannot be fully confirmed at this time and its credibility needs further verification, I have contacted Eugene and confirmed that Knox is indeed missing."
Charlie frowned slightly, carefully took the auction list and looked at it carefully, then without hesitation, handed it to Begway who had just stood up.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed abruptly, and the four people looked solemn.
They stared at the list. The number of items on it was astonishing, roughly estimated to be more than a hundred!
What's even more horrifying is that more than half of them are male and female orcs.
The list of male beastmen is followed by detailed descriptions of their beastly characteristics, including the mighty lion, the agile cheetah, etc.
The female beastman's name is followed by her mental strength level, as well as whether it is auctioned with "complete attributes" or "guidance attributes".
The complete attribute means that the female orc will be completely sold and become a private property, while the grooming attribute is to provide temporary services.
At this time, Valua pointed to one of the lines of words and said to everyone:
"Look here, it clearly says 'tentacles.' From this, we can infer that among the items being auctioned tonight is an orc with male tentacle form. Knox's mysterious disappearance is likely related to this particular auction item."
Gar's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Nox's strength is evident to all. His mental power has reached an unmatched S+ level, and his beast form and combat power far surpass ours. I've always believed that as long as he takes action, there's no way we can fail."
However, reality hit everyone like a heavy hammer.
It seems that Knox has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the worse news is that he has been put on the auction block as a commodity!
The four of them stood there in a daze, heavy expressions on their faces.
If it was really Knox who was auctioned off, then Caster Island was truly terrifying. There must be a master behind it who was even stronger than Knox, or someone had secretly used astonishing means to make a strong man like Knox unable to resist.
Either way, it's not good news for Begwei and others.
He turned his head sharply, looking at Charlie with sharp eyes, and ordered quickly and firmly: "Charlie, there is no time to lose, you immediately lead the mecha team to the front line and fully support Eugene!"
Although Eugene had not yet determined the exact coordinates of Custer Island, Begway knew that reinforcements needed to be deployed as soon as possible to prevent a surprise attack.
Valua murmured solemnly:
"I'm still worried. Why are they going through all this trouble?"
Everyone nodded, there was indeed something strange about this matter.
After all, other male animal features are also marked, but the "tentacles" are the only ones that are conspicuously colored red.
Valua continued his analysis:
"They first attacked Edmund to draw our attention. Then, when Knox went to investigate, they quickly captured him and brazenly announced him as an auction item. This series of events is no accident; there must be some ulterior motive behind it."
Gar snorted coldly and interrupted, "Then what exactly is their goal? Knox is investigating as a pirate, and he has no relatives or friends..."
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something and paused. He glanced at Bagway, Charlie and the others, and deliberately lowered his voice, his tone full of doubt:
"Could it be... their real target is Saint Anrita?"
Are those people on Caster Island trying to set a trap to lure Saint Anrita?
You know, in the mysterious underground black market, all kinds of strange things can happen.
People often post bounty missions here, and the types are varied.
Some people offer huge rewards for treasures, while some villains ask for exorbitant prices to obtain beautiful and rare females.
If there is a force so bold as to have ideas about Anrita, it is not impossible that they would offer a high reward to get her!
The conjecture proposed by Gal is indeed worrying.
Although Saint Anrita's spiritual power has long surpassed S-level, and her companions have cleverly concealed her level and never announced it to the public.
But as the only S-level female in the entire galaxy, she still attracts a lot of attention.
She had previously caused quite a stir when she traveled to the Blackbird Galaxy.
Not to mention that she has now given birth to twin babies, which not only demonstrates the strength of her mental power, but also shows her extremely strong fertility.
It is difficult for ordinary females to become pregnant, and there have been no cases of twins in the Main Star Empire for a long time.
This rare combination of high-level mental power and extraordinary fertility made Anrita an instant target of public criticism.
Almost all males in the galaxy covet her and want to become her partner.
At this moment, Begway's face was terribly gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Those guys from Caster Island dared to target my wife. They are simply courting death! Protect my wife and never let her fall into danger."
Valua beside him also had a serious expression. He frowned and thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, the current situation is indeed difficult. If we cannot determine the exact coordinates of Caster Island, Knox may be in danger."
Charlie sighed and expressed his worry:
"My wife is too soft-hearted, and she likes Knox very much."
