Moments later, Leo and Ash finally arrived in an aisle full of different Hybrids.
This wasn't Leo and Ash's first time in a Slave House. The latter belong to the Underground World while the former was a slave in the past.
The aisle that salesman #3 actually meant is like a small park in the middle with three interconnecting apartments on its 3 other side. This apartment is where the slaves live, and the park is where they are going to be displayed. This was actually just a very simple concept of showcasing a slave. Other slaves, those sold as expensive, are even doing walkways or runways and stuff to showcase them.
"Bring me those Garbage that are still virgins, females only!" Salesman #3 ordered the guards guarding the entrance. He also put a strong emphasis on the word "females only" because there were times when female customers visit the Virgin Blood Slave House and they would ask for virgins, which they actually meant are male virgins. Better avoid the misunderstanding, right?
Quickly, 4 guards went inside as they knock on each door of the apartment and ask for all of the female Hybrid virgins. Soon enough, they finally returned with 10 female Hybrids with them.
Seeing them, Leo simply acted that he was satisfied as he said, "I like all of them, pack them up!"
Salesman #3 was delighted, for he had luckily met a customer that doesn't need introductions and stuff. He didn't even ask for the price. In short, a rich customer.
"Also, show me the strong Hybrids you have here, the more powerful the better." Leo finally stated his real intention. Buying female Hybrid virgins was just his way to fortify his image of a playboy. He actually doesn't need to really do this, but due to the fact that this Slave House has the name of Virgin Blood, meaning the costumers that mostly go into this place are those that want to buy virgin slaves, hence he can only act in such a way.
To be honest, he actually doesn't want to go into this type of Slave Houses. He just hates it, for no other reason at all. Also, he obviously needed tough soldiers because he was planning to invade the Southeast Fortress, and female Hybrid virgins obviously don't fit such criteria. However, with how much experience he already has with the Underground World, he knows that the richer the business was, the more high quality their product would be. And the Virgin Blood Slave House is such kind of business.
"Oh, then follow me right this way, sir!" Salesman #3 replied in more delight. In their Slave House, the virgin slaves aren't actually the most profitable product, because they are still ordinary slaves nonetheless, even if they have good looks. The most profitable product are those powerful slaves, such as Mages and Magical Knights.
Soon, Leo finally arrived in front of a cloth-covered cage. Although he was outside the cage, he can actually already feel the power of this slave inside, specifically a 7 Star.
"This is your best product?" Leo curiously asked. If he can get more powerful slaves like this, then Invading the Southeast Fortress would be easy.
"Yes, this is our best product. Is sir perhaps disappointed? If so, then I can recommend you to Red Axe Slave House, in that place, there are times where you can find an 8 to 9 Star level, and sometimes they even have Galaxy level slaves." Salesman replied.
It was indeed just reasonable how the Slave Houses in Southeast Fortress are able to get powerful slaves, considering the fact that they are located just at the border of Silver Kingdom. Moreover, Twilight Forest is basically similar to a war zone in the middle of multiple Kingdoms, either of Human or Foreign races, therefore a lot of Bounty Hunters, Slave Hunters, and Mercenaries would use this as an opportunity to hunt and abduct those injured people and then sell them to nearby Kingdoms as slaves.
However, just like what was mentioned, the powerful slaves were injured when they got abducted, so even though they have a 7 Star or higher cultivation, they are still pretty much weaker compared to people such as Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre, obviously due to their injury not being completely healed after they were sold to Slave Merchants.
"How many of these do you have?"
"We unfortunately only have 2..."
"Do you have other ones that are a level lower than this?"
"Yes, but we only have a few since you're talking about Hybrids. But if you want other Foreign races, then we have a lot of such level of slaves."
"How many exactly?"
"For the Hybrid ones or the other Foreign races?"
"The Hybrid ones."
"We have twenty 1 Star level, five 2 Star level, and three 3 Star level. Our stock of 4 to 6 Stars is already out, so we, unfortunately, don't have any more of those..."
"Okay, then pack all of them, including the two 7 Star you have!" Leo nodded his head before he walked towards the counter. He already bought everything he needed here, though he was a bit disappointed because they only have a few powerful Hybrids than he had expected. But still, he had learned some useful information; Red Axe Slave House has the slaves he needed.
Coming to the counter, Leo was quickly followed by 40 Hybrid slaves being led by Salesman #3.
"That was fast..."
"Sir, you have bought ten female Hybrids virgins, which is a total of 100 gold coins; twenty 1 Star level Hybrids, a total of 5,000 gold coins; five 2 Star level Hybrids, a total of 10,000 gold coins; three 3 Star level Hybrids, a total of 15,000; and two 7 Star level Hybrids, a total of 50,000 gold coins. Tallying them up, it will cost you 80,100 gold coins." The cashier said.
Leo didn't even care about the price, because the money wasn't his in the first place. He just casually opened the Storage Ring, took out 81,000 gold coins before giving it to the cashier, seemingly in an uncaring way.
"Give him his tip." Leo pointed at Salesman #3. Rather than a tip, the 900 gold coins were more like the price of the information he had received. Although it was really expensive just for that kind of information, he was in a rush right now and the information was just what he needed the most.
"Thank you very much, sir!" Salesman #3 said as he bowed his head to show his ultimate gratitude. He then stood up straight and asked, "Sir, would you like to bound them by contract right now or only after we finish visiting the Red Axe Slave House?"
"Let's just do it over there, as it is much more convenient because I will still be shopping for more slaves," Leo said before suddenly pulling Ash close to him.
"Tch!" Ash can't help sneering this time out of annoyance, though. In her opinion, Leo seems not to be in acting anymore but was purposely doing it.
"Just bear with it. We bought a lot of slaves and we are still going to buy more. That would definitely raise people's attention to us, so I need to further solidify my image as a rich playboy for them to ignore me." Leo whispered to Ash. He wasn't really the type of guy that likes to take advantage of a woman, especially a helpless woman, even if they're as beautiful as Ash. In fact, he hates doing this kind of action because this is bound to have two results. Either he would be labeled as a pervert or this woman would start to like him. Basing on Ash's character, it would definitely be the former, which would still cause him trouble.
Hearing Leo's words, Ash could only heave a sigh of helplessness. Since she decided to follow Leo in buying Hybrid slaves, then she should bear with all the things he needed in order for his plan to succeed. Anyways, it wasn't like he did something out of the line, such as kissing him or caressing his body. He was just pulling her close to him, nothing more than that.
"Follow me, sir!" Salesman #3 began leading the way.
The so-called Red Axe Slave House was located at the northwest border of the Business District, specifically in the corner of the Southeast Fortress north and west wall.
The Red Axe Slave House is a seemingly normal looking building, if Salesman #3 didn't lead the way, then Leo and Ash wouldn't have known that this place is actually a Slave House.
*Knock! *Knock!
"Who's there?!" An old man's voice sounded inside.
"Boss Kent, I've brought a customer!" Salesman #3 replied.
"Oh, why didn't you say so immediately. You know that my door is always open for customers."
Hearing Boss Kent's words, Salesman #3 can't help rolling his eyes. He had bought two customers here the last time without making his presence know to Boss Kent, and it had almost caused those customers to lose their lives. Not because of Boss Kent, but because of some slaves who weren't properly locked inside their cages.
Boss Kent is actually not afraid of his slaves, because they are under the restrictions of a Blood Contract, therefore no matter what they do they can't hurt him nor escape his Red Axe Slave House. Because of that, there were times he just let them freely roam around inside, especially when there are no costumers.
"Welcome, welcome, how may I serve all of you... You obviously came here to buy slaves, so it should be... What kind of slaves do you want?" Boss Kent welcomed.
Boss Kent's welcoming words really show that he only gets a few customers, causing Leo to doubt whether Salesman #3 had really bought them into a Slave House or a scam.
"Don't mind him. He is only like this because the Red Axe Slave House has already lost its former glory." Salesman #3 explained.
"Why?" Leo curiously asked.
"I've bought a really rich and powerful customer to him one time, hoping to further raise up this Slave House status. Unfortunately, because he didn't carefully lock one of the cages, that customer nearly died. Later on, that customer started pressuring Boss Kent and the customers that want to buy slaves from him, causing his business to immediately go downhill."
"Tch, what rich and powerful customer, maybe you meant to say, the spoiled brat of Commander Decker!" Boss Kent can't help sneering.
