The curtains opened up, showing fifteen girls who walked onto the stage. Their white dresses flowed, and their silver masks sparkled, but they looked visibly terrified.
The crowd went wild with applause, whistling, and cheering.
Leo felt a hot anger brewing inside him, but he kept a blank face to keep his cover.
Alpha walked up to the first girl. "This one," he said, putting a hand on her shoulder. She flinched at his touch. "She's fourteen, from Poland. Really good for training."
Turning to the audience, Alpha called out, "Who's ready to start the bidding?"
A hand shot up right away. "One hundred thousand dollars."
"One twenty," another voice chimed in.
"One fifty," came a third bid.
The numbers shot up fast.
Leo watched in disgust, waiting for his chance.
Reyes raised his hand, saying, "Two hundred thousand."
Everyone turned to look at him.
Alpha grinned. "Mr. Chen at two hundred. Anyone else?"
The room went quiet.
"Sold! To Mr. Chen for two hundred thousand dollars!"
