The auction was slated to commence in a mere quarter of an hour. Terence, standing tall with a demeanor that was a blend of professionalism and good-naturedness, turned to address Val.
“Master Val, as our esteemed guest, we’d like to extend all the courtesies we can offer,” Terence began. He then glanced towards Lillian and instructed, “Lillian, please escort Master Val to our VIP section.”
As Terence’s words faded, Lillian stepped forward with a respectful nod. “Of course,” she replied, then turning to Val, she added, “Master Val, please follow me.”
Under Lillian’s guidance, Val was led through the tastefully decorated auction house towards the exclusive VIP section. However, before they could enter the area, their path was obstructed by two imposing figures. The pair of individuals standing as gatekeepers radiated a formidable aura that was stronger than Val’s.
At Lillian’s subtle signal, the duo moved aside, their eyes revealing a sliver of respect.
This silent exchange didn’t escape Val’s sharp observation.
He scrutinized the pair, sensing the dense power flowing within them. Val’s intuition told him they were probably Level 2 or 3 bloodline users.
For an establishment that was merely a branch of the Starlight Auction House to have such powerful bloodline users as bodyguards, Val was reminded once again of the auction house’s hidden depths. It was far from a simple place.
Once inside the VIP section, Lillian escorted Val to a private compartment, which was an enclave of tranquillity, secluded from the bustling activity of the main and VIP auction area. It had a plush sofa and a large, panoramic window that offered a private view of the auction stage, allowing the VIPs to observe the proceedings without being in the limelight.
To be honest, it was crafted with an eye for extravagance, designed specifically to cater to the comforts and needs of their most distinguished guests.
“Master Val, please, make yourself comfortable,” she invited. 𝔬𝓋𝔩xt.𝒸𝑜𝑚
Val settled into the plush sofa, sinking into the comfort of its velvety texture. After settling into the plush sofa, Val turned to Lillian with a subtle nod of approval. “I must commend the Starlight Auction House for its attention to detail,” he said, his gaze sweeping over the opulent yet private space. “This is truly impressive.”
Lillian, standing nearby, accepted the compliment gracefully. “Thank you, Master Val. We strive to offer the best for our esteemed guests.”
Val’s lips curled into a gentle smile. “Indeed. I have been to various auction houses, but none have shown the level of professionalism and courtesy that I’ve experienced here. It speaks volumes about the integrity of this establishment.”
Lillian’s eyes shone with genuine appreciation for his words. She bowed slightly, replying, “Your kind words are truly encouraging, Master Val. The Starlight Auction House will continue to uphold these standards.”
The young master then leaned back, his gaze shifting towards the panoramic window that overlooked the auction stage. He mused aloud, “The auction will be quite an event, I imagine.”
“Yes, indeed,” Lillian agreed with a nod. “We believe today’s auction will be exceptional, especially with the inclusion of your item.”
Val’s smile broadened. “Well then, I look forward to witnessing the spectacle.”
“There is still some time before the auction begins. I will get our people to accompany you until then so that you won’t be bored.” Lillian said as she clapped her hands softly.
In response, the double doors to their private compartment swung open, and two enchanting women with breathtaking beauty stepped in.
One had vibrant red hair cascading down her bare shoulders, her emerald green eyes glinting seductively as she stared at Val. The other was equally attractive, her long black hair contrasting against her milky white skin, her bright blue eyes sparkling with allure as she set her eyes on the man she had a huge crush on.
They both bore trays of delicacies – one adorned with an array of colorful, exotic fruits, the other equipped with an exquisite wine bottle and a delicate crystal glass, and they moved with an enticing grace, their intentions clear: they were there to seduce Val, to tempt him into mating with them.
News about his victory against a Stroud had long spread throughout the stronghold and reached the ears of every member of this branch of the Starlight Auction House.
They knew he wasn’t a normie, but a bloodline user with a bloodline so pure and strong that he triumphed over a noble belonging to one of the strongest families in the kingdom.
Mating with such a person was no less than an honor and if they get impregnated by him, it would be even better.
Actually, that was precisely their goal. They wanted to bear children who had Val’s powerful bloodline coursing through their veins. After all, giving birth to innate bloodline users for the auction house was a self-rewarding act. They would be allocated a substantial amount of resources to raise Val’s child if Val refuses to accept them as his. On the flip chance, if he wants the children that he had with service girls to be his, then he would’ve no choice but to be roped in by the auction house.
After all, the children of their slaves were also slaves, and if you wanted to get these slaves, you would have to play by their rules!
For these girls, who were sold into slavery by their parents and purchased and raised by the auction house so that they could one day serve their esteemed guests, this self-rewarding act was too tempting to ignore.
They were fully intent on making Val fall for them. Their intention was noticeable as they moved towards Val seductively, their every gesture aimed to seduce him into mating with them.
Their attire, barely enough to cover their ample curves, accentuated their well-toned bodies. It was a sight that could make anyone’s heart race. Anyone’s except for Val’s.
“What’s this all about?” Val questioned, glancing at Lillian, his eyes subtly hinting at both women.
“These ladies, Master Val, are part of the special services provided to our esteemed VVIP clients. They are here to cater to your every need during the auction. And, if you choose to bless them with your seeds, they will not refuse.” Lillian said, a sly smile curling her lips.
Both women nodded in agreement.
“We are at your service, Master Val,” the redhead said in a sweet, sultry voice. “We promise to make your experience unforgettable,” the brunette added, a playful sparkle in her eyes.
Simultaneously, they both smiled at him warmly and invitingly. It was a sight that would drive any man crazy, but it didn’t rouse Val’s sleeping dragon. He had no interest in using used holes.
He simply nodded at them, silently acknowledging the ugliness of this situation. The kingdom wasn’t a good place for normies. They could only live without dignity in this kingdom if they wanted to survive. These service girls were precisely such victims of discrimination. They had to open their legs for strangers if their masters so demanded. He lacked the desire to bully the weak. Not to mention, he didn’t want to mate with whores as no matter how bad he was, he didn’t want his children to enter hell. He didn’t appreciate the gesture and decided to keep things professional.
“Excuse me, Master Val. I have to go and prepare for the auction. I will leave you in the capable hands of our top courtesans. I promise you you won’t be disappointed if you use their service.” Lillian said as she turned to leave.
Before stepping out of the room, she whispered to the two women, “This is all I can do for you. I have provided you with a golden opportunity to change your life. How you go about it is totally up to you.”
“Don’t worry, sister. We’ll do our best to hug this golden thigh.” the beauties replied.
Lillian left, and the two women turned to Val to tend to his needs, “Master, can we help you in some way?”
Val nodded.
The two women’s faces lit up, thinking that he might use them in the way they want to be used.
But their expectation quickly shattered.
“Pour me a drink,” Val commanded, his tone composed yet firm.
The women complied, doing their best to emphasize their figures and put their assets in his face as they poured the wine.
It was clear what they were trying to do.
They were trying to seduce him!
“Do you want us to do anything else?”
“No.”
“You do understand that we will do anything for you, right? Anything!”
“Actually, I would prefer it if you keep quiet. You’re disturbing me.”
They realized that their efforts were in vain as Val remained indifferent to their seduction. He looked past them as if these attractive women who were barely dressed were non-existent and focused his gaze on the stage where Lillian have appeared.
Their blatant attempts at seduction failed to stir any desires in him. It wasn’t because he was impotent or lacked interest in the opposite sex. His Unfeeling Trait might have made it impossible for him to experience fear or pain, and his Emotional Impairment Trait might have made it difficult for him to experience other emotions as compared to normal humans, but they didn’t affect his ability to feel attraction or lust.
However, Val was a cautious man. His past experiences on Earth had taught him the importance of being wary and not falling for honey traps.
He had once been betrayed by a subordinate who had fallen prey to a woman’s charms, an incident he narrowly survived.
He understood that this world, with its magic and extraordinary creatures, could contain more dangerous entities such as getting enslaved after having sex. He could not risk falling for any seductive tricks. As such, he chose to keep a respectful distance from these women, preferring to enjoy their service without getting personally involved.
Furthermore, he didn’t like putting it in used holes. So these women never stood a chance to begin with!
