The person in box No. 5 is the son of Ikram--Bahaman.
As the eldest son of Bahaman, he certainly does not want Aishikeman to be auctioned. After all, he is the first heir to Bahaman.
Previously, Bahaman decided to use Aishikeman to buy peace under the threat of force from Li Ang. Ikram tried to attack Li Ang while leading Li Ang.
But at that time, the hundreds of poorly equipped Gazi Raiders were beaten to pieces by the elite guards around Li Ang.
At that time, Ikram disappeared.
Now he appears again, but at Ramon's auction.
"Master Tahir, you'd better stop moving! Ramon! Stop this meaningless auction... or else..."
Ikram said in a sinister tone, his eyes full of despair and madness.
Ramon frowned on the stage, but his eyes did not stare at Ikram, but turned to look at Box 1 on the other side.
"Sir Yunes, I know that Ikram is your agent... did you instruct this matter?"
Ramon asked to box number one.
Yunes is the second son of Emperor Marius, but Bacchus Empire is not a hereditary country, so there is no such thing as a 'prince'. Moreover, Yunes has no position in the Bacchus Empire, so he can only be called 'Your Excellency'.
"It's none of my business... He is in Box 5 and I am in Box 1. Doesn't this explain the problem enough? He is not my agent..."
A voice with an accent of Bax came from Box 1, which was slightly frivolous.
"Hmph... You little kid, you even want to deal with me!"
Tahir was being held hostage by Ikram. He initially acted quite calmly, but after hearing what Yunes said, the Xingar city lord suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the blade of the knife at his throat with his palm!
This is probably because Tahir feels that Ikram seems to be a personal behavior. This kind of young man does not know the importance of doing things, so he has to save himself.
Tahir's hand was cut by the blade, and blood dripped down, but he successfully pushed the blade against his throat aside temporarily, and successfully turned around and began to wrestle with Ikram.
The Xingar City Lord acted very bravely, but this kind of wrestling was obviously at a disadvantage - he clutched the blade and turned around, and the knife had almost crushed his palm.
Moreover, Tahir is in his fifties after all, and his strength cannot compare with that of a young guy like Ikram.
"Whoosh!"
Just when Tahir was about to be crushed to the ground, a cold light flew out from the stage and flew across the venue with a clear sound of breaking wind.
"Ah... uh..."
The two people who were struggling fell to the ground at the same time, but the screams came from Ikram.
There is an assassin's throwing knife stuck in Ikram's left eye - the same dagger from Scorpion Assassin Brotherhood that is being auctioned on the stage.
This is the flying knife shot by Ramon, which passed through a distance of more than thirty meters and accurately shot into Ikram's eye socket, and it was during the struggle between two people. Such a technique is rare in the world.
Later, Ramon's men in black rushed forward to control the situation, and the assassin's flying knife was returned to the stage.
"I didn't expect you to help me..."
Tahir stood up holding his bleeding palms, took a few steps back, and turned to look at Ramon.
"I'm not helping you, Tahir, but this is my auction after all, and I must ensure everyone's safety..."
Ramon held a handkerchief and wiped the bloody flying knife while shaking his head. "Okay, now the problem is solved, the auction continues!... The last bidder was the distinguished guest in box number two, 1.2 million dinars for the first time!"
Ramon continued to shout the price as if nothing had happened. After such an episode and even seeing blood, he still clearly remembered the previous progress...
"Wait... Ramon, what should I do with that kid?"
Tahir stretched out his injured right hand, and a man in black was bandaging it.
Ramon's men had already finished handling the scene within half a minute.
Ikram is not dead, and the bleeding in his left eye is stopping, but he has been tied up and his mouth is gagged.
"I can understand why Ikram came to the auction to cause trouble, but I don't understand why he came to cause trouble for you, Tahir. But since he is causing trouble for you, then of course you will deal with him. This is the rule..."
Ramon waved his hand and signaled his men to hand over Ikram to Tahir.
At this time, Ikram is a hot potato. Of course, a smart person like Ramon would not ask for trouble.
Besides, Tahir is at least nominally the caliph of this area, and he is also the lord of Xingar.
Since he was attacked on his own territory, of course the attacker should be handed over to Tahir.
"Huh... Ramon, if that's the case, then I'll sell him to you as a slave... Do you accept it?"
It seems that Tahir didn't want this hot potato to fall into his hands, so he sold the person directly on the spot...
"No, no, no... Tahir, I am no longer in the slave business. Of course, if you want to find a ransom broker, I have many people! Okay, the auction continues, please abide by the order... Box 2, 1.2 million for the second time!"
Ramon obviously didn't intend to accept the move.
In order to ensure the safety of other people in the auction, Ramon could shoot Ikram. This is a reasonable behavior and can be justified anywhere.
But he absolutely cannot let Ikram fall into his hands as a slave - this is the son of Bahaman, and Ramon is now nominally Bahaman's agent.
Tahir was attacked by Ikram on his own territory. According to Dexia's revenge logic, he could indeed treat Ikram as a slave and sell it to anyone, regardless of Ikram's identity.
But Ramon is different. Ramon is only a civilian of Xingar in name. Naturally, he cannot acquire another caliph's son as a slave. Otherwise, it would be an insult to Bahaman. This kind of insult is much more serious than killing.
He could only act as a ransom broker, allowing Ikram to be ransomed by Bahaman as a noble prisoner of war, and it was best not to do it himself - so he asked Tahir to find his men.
"Hmph...1.2 million plus Ikram!"
Tahir didn't go back to the box, he just stood there and shouted a new price.
The man in black who was bandaging his wounds hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should hold up the sign...
Ramon curled his lips and sighed, "Okay, the distinguished guest in box three bids 1.25 million dinars! 1.25 million for the first time!"
Seeing that his men didn't know what to do, Ramon simply gave Ikram a price of 50,000 dinars and continued to bid.
Fifty thousand dinars, this is a price that no male slave can reach. In fact, very few prisoners of war can pay such a high price for ransom - unless they are nobles above the duke level.
Tahir's bid was probably just to vent his anger, but Ramon's excuse made it difficult for him to get angry.
So the auction continues.
Ikram was also brought to the backcourt by several men in black - he is now Tahir's asset, with a net worth of 50,000 dinars, second only to the girl Noldo Elves back then.
"One million and three hundred thousand..."
A female voice sounded - Alina bid again. She was as calm as if nothing had happened.
At this time, a figure emerged from the box No. 28 at the far end and sneaked to the backcourt.
That was the box in the corner, and there was a back passage right out the door. There was no need to pass by any seats. No one should be able to see this person except Ramon on the stage.
Ramon did see it from the stage, but he said nothing.
Because that figure is Li Ang.
Perhaps everyone thought that Li Ang should be outside Toba City now, but he has quietly arrived at Xingar.
But Li Ang is not actually here to participate in this city owner auction. In fact, he is here for another business - he wants to sell the Bahad Khan position.
The previous capture of Toba City did not bring much profit, and Li Ang was not willing to rob innocent people in the city. Besides, if the city was damaged too much, it would be uneconomical - it would not be easy to sell.
Therefore, Li Ang distributed most of the gold and silver obtained from Kadan's warehouse to the army lieutenants to prevent the army from causing any trouble during its retreat.
-- Five hundred thousand dinars, basically all of which he gave away as a reward. This reward was distributed according to the number of knights and military merit.
There are about three hundred knights participating in this army gathering - this refers to the number of knights under other lords, not the strength of the troops.
Generally speaking, each knight brought eight to ten levies, and three hundred knights equaled almost three thousand troops.
Li Ang basically gave each knight a reward of more than one thousand dinars.
One thousand dinars is actually a lot of wealth for an ordinary Lion Territory knight.
Although they have been traveling long distances this month, in the end they only fought one real battle at Toba City, and it was an extremely easy battle. For them, Lord Li Ang's attack was indeed quite generous.
As for the other proceeds, that is, Kadan's concubine and child, Li Ang gave it to Ryman, or to Ulrich - which means a large ransom, which can basically be regarded as Li Ang bribing Ulrich with the help of Ryman.
After all, Li Ang is the marshal. The king must be able to realize that these gains actually come from Li Ang, which can make Ulrich remain silent about Li Ang's subsequent operations.
In other words, in this war Li Ang achieved the strategic goal of "breaking into Toba City", Lionheart Kingdom's face must be fine, and he also took out all the profits from this war, leaving basically nothing for himself...
So isn't this a waste of effort?
Of course not... The lord just wants greater profits.
Lord Li Ang How can you do a loss-making business?
Toba City and Bahad Khan are both for sale, so Toba City cannot be smashed or plundered.
In addition, Li Ang can also share half of the proceeds from the auction of Aishikeman.
Ramon will receive his agency share, which is 20%.
In fact, what Ramon valued more was the fame he got from it - he was not short of money, he wanted fame, and he wanted to use the fame gained from this auction to make some changes in his business and no longer get involved in the slave trade.
As for the remaining 30%, it was the 'bride price' to be given to Bahaman, which he obtained in exchange for his daughter Ruha and his legal right to rule.
This is a result that all three parties are satisfied with. Since Emperor Marius's fleet has landed at Aishikeman, Bahaman cannot defend Aishikeman. This will at least allow him to gain a lot of wealth in the short term and quickly rebuild a strong force.
If you have troops, you have everything. No matter who Aishikeman sells to, it will be possible to take it back in the future - Bahaman and his brother Gaiwan Khan both understand this truth.
Moreover, marrying your daughter to someone who can buy Aishikeman in a public auction is a good marriage opportunity for Bahaman - Dexian people would not ask his daughter if she wanted to be a son-in-law. Sarah's father originally planned to marry her to a fat old man who had never taken a shower in his life.
Besides... isn't it natural for the father-in-law to take back the territory that originally belonged to him from his son-in-law?
So for Bahaman, although he can only get 30%, it is equivalent to picked up money. In fact, he is even full of gratitude to Li Ang...
However, his son Ikram is too young and too impulsive, and has not yet learned to see through the phenomena to see the essence.
Therefore, the Lord intends to let Ikram see clearly what the so-called 'honor' is.
"Ikram, you had someone attack me before. Should we settle the score?"
At this moment, Li Ang was standing in front of Ikram, looking at the one-eyed young man with a bandage on his eye.
Ikram's eye box is still bleeding, but the blood flow is not much, and the person is still awake.
It seemed that Ramon's flying knife didn't penetrate deeply. It probably just destroyed Ikram's left eyeball, but did not damage the brain. This kind of control of force made Li Ang look at Ramon again.
"Hmph...Count Li Ang? Kill or behead whatever you want! Just do it!"
Ikram seems to be a tough guy, and he probably has a bit of a mentality of breaking things.
"You are now Tahir's property. Fifty thousand dinars are quite valuable. I don't intend to deliberately damage other people's property..."
Li Ang smiled. This kind of stupid young man is actually the best to deal with. "Ikram, have you ever thought about why your father Bahaman wanted Aishikeman as Ruha's dowry in the first place? Or... why did he give me the right to dispose of Aishikeman?"
"That was a cowardly decision! If it were me, I would definitely fight to the death with you! Even if I die in battle, I must maintain the dignity of the family..."
Ikram gritted his teeth bitterly, his attitude was quite brave.
"It's because you have always been so stupid that Bahaman was forced to take this trick...Ikram, you actually have the nerve to say that your father is cowardly?"
Li Ang sighed, feeling that this kid was indeed brainless, so he could only speak more clearly, "Your eyes are really useless, and it doesn't matter if you are blind - you were shot by Ramon, and you still haven't realized the relationship between Scorpion Assassin Brotherhood and Ramon..."
To be honest, most of the people sitting in the box at the auction house should be able to tell that Ramon is related to Scorpion Assassin Brotherhood...
Not to mention the miraculous knife-throwing technique, just putting the meaning of assassin's flying knives up for public auction is not something that ordinary people can do.
Tahir obviously understood, so he still abided by the rules in the auction house even when his hand was injured;
Alina obviously saw it, so she even acted as if nothing had happened.
--No one wants to offend Scorpion Assassins, especially those who are bidding on Aishikeman.
