Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime Chapter 1496: 1496: It Really Is Her

Chapter 1496: Chapter 1496: It Really Is Her

The darkness lasted only two seconds.

The spotlight gradually illuminated the central stage in the hall, with three giant LCD screens focusing on the stage from different angles. There were no auction items at the mont, so the screens appeared empty.

Purple Sumrs’ eyes slowly adjusted to the environnt as she glanced around herself.

Because all the light gathered on the stage, the guests hidden in the darkness revealed an excitent of secretive observation on their faces.

She withdrew her gaze, feeling very uncomfortable… no longer just disgust, but a sense of being in a mismatched environnt, her scalp tingling, even her breathing felt oppressive.

Alexander Sumrs seed to sense her unease, held her hand, and softly said, “Relax, just treat it like watching a show.”

An elderly man in formal attire entered the stage and, after a brief introduction, began the auction of the first item.

Jewelry, famous paintings, and antiques seed unable to interest people in such a place. What caught the eye was a sandbox about the size of a ping-pong table. It was filled with yellow sand, with rocks, dried wood, and cacti as adornnts, resembling a miniature desert.

At first, Purple Sumrs thought it was a decorative piece.

The host introduced, “Mutated desert army ants, flesh-eating ants, with strong mandibles and disciplined, form different attack groups when encountering prey, working collaboratively to hunt. The prey is instantly overwheld in encirclent and attack. This auction includes one queen ant, 250,000 eggs, and over a million adult ants.”

Then, the translator translated this statent completely into different languages.

To demonstrate the combat abilities of these flesh-eating ants, the host’s assistant placed a cobra into the sandbox.

Detecting the invasion of their territory, the flesh-eating ants sward out, like a black tide, instantly enveloping the cobra in an impenetrable shroud!

Purple Sumrs felt nauseous and instinctively closed her eyes. She really couldn’t understand what use such things would have when brought ho!

She heard soone casually whistle, and a woman stifle a scream of surprise.

Beside her, Alexander Sumrs quietly said, “Sothing’s not right… the Stan Brothers are here too.”

Purple Sumrs opened her eyes, and the cobra had been reduced to just a bloody, skeletal ss, the snake skin in scattered fragnts.

She took a silent breath, forcing herself to shift her focus, and asked Alexander, “Who are the Stan Brothers?”

Alexander Sumrs’ expression was cold and solemn, and his tone unusually serious, “They are three madn, who particularly enjoy playing with won, and after they tire of them, they dismber them, skin them, drink their blood, and eat their flesh—they’ve done it all.”

Purple Sumrs felt chills run down her spine, “Isn’t there anyone to stop them?”

“No one can stop them; the Stan Family has a mafia background and significant power.” Alexander frowned with worry, “I hope they don’t take a liking to the little ones, or else it will be very troubleso.”

Purple Sumrs followed his gaze and saw a few young n in the front row laughing and joking.

The light was dim, and their facial features were indistinct, but they seed like typical spoiled playboys—who would have thought their actions could be so perverse!

At that mont, the auction for the second item began: an abnormally large and strong giant.

This definitely amounted to open human trafficking.

Purple Sumrs listened to the host’s voice rising higher with each bid, her emotions growing more agitated, wishing she could drag Cherry out to give her a good scolding!

What on earth was she thinking to co to such a place?!

Gavin Graves probably shared the sa feeling.

He couldn’t understand why Cherry would beco an auction item. Even if she was kicked out of her ho, she wasn’t short on money; even if she hastily threw away her luggage, didn’t she later pawn her wedding ring? Over a million, and it was spent so quickly that it led to her selling herself?

While lost in thought, he vaguely heard her voice.

Initially, he thought he was hearing things, but following the sound, Gavin looked over and discovered… it really was her.
