Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Chapter 45 It doesn’t matter

The largest auction house in the Tiandou Empire sells a wide variety of items. The first rule is that sellers' identities must not be questioned, and the details of the items cannot be disclosed to the public. The auction house operates 24/7.

The nightly auction was the most important, with only buyers with a deposit exceeding one million Gold Soul Coins eligible to participate. At other times, anyone could bid. This continuous auction brought the auction house substantial profits. A 10% commission was charged for each precious item sold. While this amount might not seem like much, it accumulated to a significant sum, exceeding even the revenue of a large fighting arena.

Leosli did not make any comments about the girls he met on the road. Just like he was a former prison warden, he could only stick to his own principles towards the prisoners, but he could not sympathize with their plight. Although he hated evil people deep in his heart, it was just that they had not hurt himself or others now.

Moreover, this was a choice made by these girls themselves, and Leosley had no right to interfere.

If they encounter problems that cannot be solved, they can seek help from themselves, but they must have sufficient reasons, without involving innocent people, and their own principles.

His own personal abilities are actually very limited. He only has a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, and it is impossible for him to take care of everyone. Sometimes he is not in the clinic, and nothing happens. Isn't it because the people here give him face?
The auction house is a major money-making venture for the Tiandou Imperial Family. A staff member's salary starts at 100,000 gold soul coins.

Please note that they are staff members. These girls are not staff members in the strict sense.

The profits from these projects come from the empire's annual military expenditures, official and royal expenses, all of which require financial support.

Auction houses financed much of this spending, and if these programs were canceled, imperial revenue would suffer.

Xue Qinghe also wants to take charge, but she is now a prince, and Xue Ye is still in power!
Led by the receptionist, Leosli, Xue Qinghe and Sigwen seemed to be embarking on an unknown journey, passing through the exquisite corridors and finally arriving at a separate private room.

The door of the room slowly opened, and what came into view was an elegant layout, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Xue Qinghe raised his hand slightly, gracefully signaling the receptionist to withdraw. The atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly solemn, as if an invisible aura of authority permeated the air. The receptionist's face showed reluctance to leave. She knew that this opportunity was hard-won, and her heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

However, faced with the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she had no choice but to retire. Although she was unwilling, she had to submit to the arrangement of power and quietly exit.

They were in a black box. In fact, many high-end places in Douluo Continent distinguish levels according to the color of their soul rings: white, yellow, purple, black, and red, with red being the highest and white the lowest.

It’s just that no one has ever seen a million-year-old golden soul ring, so red is the highest level.

There is only one private room in the red area of the auction hall, and I don’t know who it is prepared for.

There are nearly ten private rooms in the black area, and they entered private room number one in the black area.

The purple zone has more private rooms than the black zone, while the yellow and white zones have no exclusive rooms, distinguished only by seats. Even if one has money but no power or title, the purple room is the highest level.

Even if they were given a black private room, they wouldn't dare go. This was the difference in class. As the crown prince, her private room was in Black Room 1.

Although the room was cleared in advance, there were still one or two service staff in this private room.

Compared with the guiding girl before, the waiter here was dressed so well that Xue Qinghe blushed.

If it wasn't a disguise, she would have shouted "shameless"!
The white skirt looked completely different on the waiters at the auction center. All the waiters were women, about the same height as the guide girl before, but with a fuller figure.

Their skirts are sleeveless and open wide in the front. The short skirts just reach their waists, revealing their smooth thighs. Paired with white high heels, they look even more seductive.

The curves under the skirt make people take a second look.

But it’s nothing, you’ll get used to it.

These people were essentially slaves. Although the Tiandou Empire had laws prohibiting the slave trade, these laws were ineffective, unable to alter reality. Slavery remained rampant throughout the vast empire, a dark industry.

What infuriated people was the actions of the slave-hunting groups. They didn't hunt soul beasts, but innocent people, especially those civilians with good looks and potential. These slave-hunting groups were like wild beasts, using shady means to capture them, then openly priced them at auction, leaving them to the powerful to choose from.

Didn’t you see that Leosley still looked calm?
Xue Qinghe knew that he was no ordinary person. In fact, she had always been curious about where Leosli had stayed before.

"Duke, if you like anything, just tell me. I'll cover today's expenses." Xue Qinghe said to Leosli, with a smile between his eyebrows and a gentle expression on his face.

Originally, even though the Tiandou Auction House was a royal property, it didn't matter even if she emptied it out today. The reason she did this was just to please Leosli.

What's more, she only comes to this auction a few times a year, so no matter how much money she spends, it's just a string of numbers to her.

In the auction house, there are naturally waiters like in a restaurant. They shuttle around and guide the auction items into various rooms.

At this time, they had already poured tea for everyone.

Soon, someone came to deliver something.

But this time, what arrived was not food or anything, just a list.

This list is today's auction list.

Each lot will be accompanied by a description.

Of course, some hidden items will not be presented at this time.

Some of those hidden items are things that cannot be seen in public. Even if they are found out later, as long as they are not in the list, who can prove that this item came from the Tiandou Auction House?

It's just the so-called covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

And not every auction presents an “unexpected encounter.”

Xue Qinghe was flipping through the auction items. She didn't look at them carefully. After a few casual glances, she handed the list to Leosli beside her.

"Does the Duke have any interest in her?"

She asked as a matter of course.

After all, this was the first time she asked him out, and she couldn't let him feel lonely.

The auction list was just her excuse. Otherwise, based on Leosli's identity and personality, it would be impossible for him to accept her invitation.

He doesn't like crowds.

And this list really made Leosli feel a lot happier.

There are just some things I want.
