Chapter 75: Thirty Thousand Gold Pieces
"I can’t believe someone paid thirty thousand gold pieces for her," a voice was saying.
It was the men Rose had left while she was going up in the cage, and they were still waiting for her when she returned.
"Didn’t I tell you she was special?" a voice asked. It was the man still holding the lamp.
The one who had locked the cage stepped forward and started to unlock it. "Better not cause any trouble," the man said.
Rose just stared at them, dumbfounded. She was still reeling from what had just happened. Why was the fact that she was sold less shocking than the amount she was sold for?
"Did you not hear me?" A voice broke through her thoughts. "Get out!"
Rose nodded and pushed herself to her feet. She was barefoot. It wasn’t like she had gone to bed with her shoes on, so when the man took her, it was only expected that there would be no shoes on her feet. However, she hadn’t noticed until now.
Rose grudgingly took a step forward, and the man in front of the cage looked at her with a menacing stare. "I said get—" He tried to pull her, but the man with the lamp stopped him.
"Careful, she is expensive merchandise. If Lady Fox makes any complaints, the Masked Host isn’t going to like it."
The man’s hands closed into fists, but he didn’t raise them at Rose. Instead, he put them beside himself and stood aside for her to pass through the entrance of the cage.
