The rest of the evaluation proceeded in silence. All the caged girls were trembling in fear, and those whose blood was examined prayed that they would prove themselves worthy to be placed at this cruel auction.

I kept clenching my teeth and fists. Anger overflowed from every cell in my body.

"This isn't right! We are not some merchandise they can sell or throw away if something is below their expectations!" I fumed inside my head.

I could smell the stink of blood slowly drying on the basement ground. It was nauseating and horrifying at the same time. I couldn't stop thinking of the girl's last words, and about her daughter who would grow up without her mother. The sound of her pleading voice rang inside my head. She was ill, but she wanted to live. She had chances to prolong her life. She deserved to live! What kind of monsters would do something like that?! Even the wolves I met had never been this calculated and cruel!

I was full of rage on the inside, but on the outside, I had to stay focused. I took a deep breath and leaned out through the bars of my cage to see what was going on. There were only four of us left to get a price tag. The expert had finished sniffing the drop of blood of girl number sixteen and nonchalantly announced that her life was worth ten thousand dollars. The next one was Carla…

Mr. Ponte looked her up and down and smirked coldly. She hesitantly pulled out her hand. Her whole body shivered with fear, and she seemed to be much more frightened than those girls before her. Could it be that she was ill, like the one who had leukemia?!

"No…" I mumbled, praying that my suspicions were wrong.

I could see Carla shut her eyes when Mr. Ponte stabbed her finger with a needle. The blood started flowing. A trickle coming from the small cut was quite intense and the blood just kept flowing. I already knew why she was so afraid…

"Hemophilia!" Mr. Ponte announced loudly.

This one word could easily mean a death sentence. By now, everyone must have been aware of it, yet none of the girls dared to make a single sound.

"Such a shame…" Thomas commented, clicking his tongue, and burst out laughing, "She's nothing but a one-time snack!"

All the other men in the room began laughing as well. They mocked her while she moved to the back of her cage, glancing hesitantly at them.

Suddenly, Thomas stopped laughing, then looked at Nicolas and said, "You know what to do."
