Inside the building, there were uncountable chairs arranged ordingly for the buyers to sit and enjoy the stage which was empty since the trade hadn’t started yet.


    Men strode around with sses of champagne in hand, wearing the fanciest suits from their closets. Most of them seemed to be in theirte forties, though a few were younger. Regardless of age, they all attended the event with one purpose: to buy a woman for sexual pleasure.


    He recognized some of them to be politicians and big influential people.


    Xavier couldn’t help but re at them so fiercely.


    He made sure to wear his own finest suit as well, blending so that no one would find him suspicious.


    Xavier grabbed a ss of champagne from a waiter who was passing around. He didn’t sip it, he simply kept it by his side. He didn’t want to act suspicious at all.


    "Big event, isn’t it?" He heard someone speak from behind him.


    Xavier turned to look at the person and instantly, he recognized him.


    It was Dominique Efiner, the vice president of Joltha. He was a man in histe forties but he looked more than his age due to his overweight body and saggy flesh that he tried to fit into his suit. He had red hair which wasbed straight down on his head. In his hand was a ss of wine which lookedpletely different from the one Xavier had.


    Xavier had already concluded the fact that since such an illegal trade was going to be held in a country like Joltha, the rule makers were definitely going to be involved in it.


    Joltha was arge country known for its corruption and criminality which the leaders paid no mind to handling since they were a part of it.


    "It is indeed," Xavier replied.


    Dominique stared at him, raising his ss for a click. They clicked their ss and Dominique drank while Xavier pretended to do so.


    "And you are?" Dominique questioned him.


    Xavier always made sure to keep his identity off social media or any kind of site that might expose him. In Joltha, he portrayed himself as someone who only wanted to buy a woman for sex.


    "I’m Lucian Garcia," he replied.


    Dominique tried to recall if he had heard that name from someone, but gave up on it when he couldn’t remember anything.


    "Lucian, I haven’t seen you around here before. Is this your first timeing for a trade?" Dominique questioned as the both of them walked away from that spot, heading towards another part of the building.


    "Yes it is," Xavier replied, his tone dry.


    "Ahh... no wonder I’m seeing you for the first time. Thest trade happened about a year ago in Nexus City. Unfortunately, we got raided by that bastard X," said Dominique.


    Xavier didn’t fail to notice Dominique’s hand grip his hand quite tightly.


    Of course, Xavier didn’t forget when he raided the location where a trade had happened in Nexus City. It was during the time he had to make a quick trip after he and Michelle had gone to the city hall to get married.


    "X? I’ve heard of X but I’ve never met the guy before," said Xavier, following behind Dominique.


    "I met him in nexus city and I wished I had shot him down. Too bad he had his face covered, so I couldn’t recognize him," replied Dominique.


    A faint smirk pulled on Xavier’s lips.


    Suddenly, a man called for the attention of Dominique, so he had to leave Xavier.


    Xavier scanned around, trying to find where the girls could have been hidden.


    Usually, whenever there was going to be a trade, the ce where the girls were kept would be heavily guarded in case any of them tried to escape. But Xavier didn’t know the in and out of the building.


    Carefully, he stepped away from the part where the trade would be happening. If he didn’t find the girls soon, there would only be one thing left to do; buy them all.


    Xavier entered a hallway, heading to only God knows where. He didn’t see anyone in sight, but curiosity wasced in his eyes when it settled on the doors. He could hear faint voices from inside. Seeing as the door wasn’t guarded, he concluded it couldn’t be where the girls could be.


    But he wanted to know what the people inside were talking about.


    Walking towards the door with quiet steps, Xavier intended to ce his ears on the door to eavesdrop. But when he heard a footsteping towards him, he quickly turned to find Dominique smiling at him like a creep.


    "Are you curious to know what is going on inside there?" Dominique asked him. Two other men behind him seemed to havee for the trade as well. "You don’t have to eavesdrop. All buyers can go in there," he added, walking past Xavier to open the door.


    Xavier’s eyes widened in disbelief when he saw what was happening inside the room.
