Chapter 362: End of Auction.
“Thank you to everyone who participated in Auction House’s first auction: The One. The next auction will be announced a month in advance, stay tuned~” Paolla’s clear, seductive voice echoed as the last item was sold.
Those who bought stayed and waited to pay for and receive the items, while those who were there more for entertainment or didn’t have a chance to win the bids left. Only a few stayed and tried to hide it as they looked towards the VIP lounges.
“Looks like the real dispute starts now.” Interest gleamed in Lenore’s eyes. She even looked a little excited at the prospect of a fight after the auction.
Even though she was a little disappointed that there was no conflict in the auction process, it was almost impossible not to have it at the end of the auction. After all, there is no shortage of greedy people in the world who want what others have achieved quickly and ‘easily’.
“There are some that greed and envy are so ugly they can’t even hide properly.” Nora sneered as she looked through the glass separating them from the VIP room.
Luan laughed: “Isn’t it normal? There are people willing to risk their lives for less than a dollar.”
“It reminds me of the music I heard on earth.” Lenore said, “The name of the song is ‘The Man Who Had Nothing’.”
“Oh? How is it?” This piqued Nora’s interest.
“Do you really want to hear it?” Seeing her mother nod, she said, “Okay, I’ll sing then.”
Soon her soft and a little cold voice, however, managed to show a lot of emotion as she started to sing.
“The man who had nothing woke up very early~
With the sunlight, since he has no alarm clock~
He had nothing so he wasn’t afraid either~
And he went to fight, as a good worker does~
The man who had nothing faced a crowded train~
At 7 am with a smile on his face~
He said goodbye to his wife with a wet kiss~
To prove his love and to mark his post~
The man who had nothing had everything~
Osteoarthritis, Arthritis, Diabetes, and whatever else~
But he had a lot of content inside his soul~
And even though he had almost nothing, he still had faith~
The man who had nothing had a job~
With a mop cleaning that endless floor~
Even if someone purposely dirtied the floor~
He would smile happily and say this:”
She closed her eyes when she got to the chorus and sang with more emotion:
“Human beings are flawed~ Just
today I failed~
No one is born knowing~
So let me try~!
The man who had nothing~
He had Marisete, Maria Flor, Marina, Mário~
Who was his youngest~
One was 9, one was 12, another was 17~
And the 40-year-old was always his greatest love~
The man who had nothing had a problem~
The day before, even, his light was cut~
He climbed the pole, experienced, made his scheme~
And later in the night, he reinforced the request to Jesus~
The man who had nothing followed his path~
Same path, same time, but it was different~
He called home to say he loved his family~
I think he already sensed what was ahead~
The man who had nothing~
Found another man who had nothing~
But this one had a knife~
He wanted what little he had, that is, nothing~
In paranoid, delirium, whoever doesn’t win attacks you~
And the man who had nothing, now he had no life~
He left behind three children and his wife~
The people burned tires and closed the avenue~
And wrote on the asphalt: Saudade do Josué~!
She sang the chorus again:
“Human beings are flawed~ Just
today I failed~
No one is born knowing~
So let me try~!”
At that moment her voice became softer, almost like a whisper:
“So let me try…so let me try~
So let me try…so let me try~?”
*Clap! Clap!*
When she finished, Luan and Nora clapped their hands together enthusiastically.
Not only were the lyrics of the song good, but Lenore’s voice was very good to listen to.
“It’s my first time listening to this song.” Luan said, “Who is the singer?”
Lenore smiled a little and said: “It’s a singer with the codename: Projota. He has a lot of good songs. I particularly like the song he sings called ‘Woman’.”
“Oh?” Nora arched her brow, then she smiled, “Mm, bring this so I can hear it too.”
“Hehe, yeah I’ll do that next time.” Lenore smiled happily.
Before Nora asked Lenore to sing the song called ‘Woman’, someone knocked on their VIP room.
“It’s about time we got our items,” Luan said as he looked at the mother and daughter pair.
“Mm,” they nodded.
Soon Luan opened the door. Before he appeared a very beautiful woman with a pair of bat wings, but make no mistake, she was not a vampire, but a succubus. Behind her were two other succubi.
Almost imperceptibly, disappointment crossed the three succubus women’s eyes. But then they smiled.
Nora raised an eyebrow and smiled with interest.
“Hello, sir and ladies. You can call me Ursula.” The woman at the front said with a small smile, “I’m here to exchange the items you got. By the way, congratulations, you got a lot of items.”
Luan nodded indifferently and passed her a storage ring, “I’m Luan, and here are the Qi crystals. You can check.”
“Right.” Ursula looks back: “Melissa.”
“Yea.” The girl named Melissa stepped forward and received the storage ring, soon enough she said, “It’s not enough.”
“The rest is here.” Nora said as she approached and placed one of her hands on Luan’s shoulder and handed a storage ring with her other hand: “Check, if everything is ok, you can transfer the Qi crystals to you and return them with our items.”
“Right.” She checked and said, “It’s all here.” She looked at the other girl, “Sapphire, deliver the items to these storage rings.”
She had already taken out all the Qi crystals, she just needed to transfer the items to Luan and Nora’s storage rings.
It didn’t even take a minute for the transaction to be finalized.
Ursula smiled at them, then bowed towards them: “Thanks for choosing our auction, come back soon~!”
After that, she shook hands with them before leaving with Sapphire and Melissa.
As soon as they left, Luan and Nora each took their items, as they weren’t divided correctly. After that, they left the VIP room.
