The strange sensations her body had given Shalria earlier had given her a strange feeling about Rayleigh, and she wouldn't allow anyone else to buy Rayleigh.
Just a glance from her can give her this kind of pleasure. How wonderful it would be if we actually did it together, or exercised together? I can't even imagine the feeling!
In the past, when she felt empty and lonely, even a strong, burly man could exert himself on her for half an hour, but he could never achieve the same unforgettable feeling she had when she looked into the eyes of this grandfather. She had already decided in her heart that this extraordinary old man was the one for her, and she would never let anyone else buy him!
Rayleigh no longer dared to meet Shalria's gaze; he couldn't bear her intense stare either. He glared at Vic with hatred before closing his eyes and ignoring everything around him.
Vic could sense Rayleigh's presence, Rayleigh could naturally sense Vic's presence as well, so the hood couldn't block it at all. Although he didn't know what had happened with Shalria earlier, judging from Vic's subsequent bidding, he strongly suspected that Vic was behind it all, making him a target of a Celestial Dragons woman!
Rayleigh was no longer in the mood to sell himself and rob a buyer. He would definitely find a chance to leave later. He didn't mind having a brief affair with Celestial Dragons. He had been with many women and had even worked as a prostitute, but he had never tried Celestial Dragons before, and he was indeed itching to try!
A fleeting affair is fine, but clinging to him is out of the question. He's afraid that Shakky might kill this female Celestial Dragons, causing chaos and ruining their plans.
"25 million Beli!"
There was no need for the host to fan the flames; Vic would do it himself. He gave Rayleigh an apologetic smile under his hood and continued bidding.
With Vic's current strength, he doesn't really want to spend money at auctions. In this world, the origins of most items at auctions are questionable, and there are bloodshed and tragedies behind them!
This is Doflamingo's property, so he wouldn't feel guilty at all about robbing Vic. He rarely comes to auctions anyway, so robbing someone once in a while won't have a big impact.
This time it happens to be the annual grand event, and the quality of the auction items is quite good, and the value is also decent, so it's worth a try. Of course, except for Rayleigh, who somehow ended up here. So Vic plans to muddy the waters and start the bidding last, since all the auction items will be settled together at the end anyway.
Dragon looked at Vic with a surprised expression. He didn't know why Vic had suddenly become excited. Did Vic want to buy Dark King Rayleigh, to serve him? That idea was too absurd!
However, he still trusted Vic's brain and believed he must have his own ideas, so he remained silent and turned to look at Dark King Rayleigh, on the stage.
Dragon was also interested in Rayleigh, but knew he couldn't possibly win him over, so he had no interest in it. Now it was up to Vic to decide what he wanted to do.
"30 million Beli."
"35 million Beli!"
"40 million Beli."
"50 million Beli!"
"280 million Beli."
300 million Beli!
" Shalria has offered 300 million Beli. Does this gentleman still want to compete?"
"This gentleman is no longer participating in the competition. Anyone else want to bid? Three hundred million Beli at a time!"
"Three hundred million Beli twice!"
"Three hundred million Beli, three times! Deal!"
Vic pushed Rayleigh's price to a staggering 300 million Beli, which is probably the highest price Rayleigh has ever sold, and it's unlikely to ever reach such a price again. Vic thinks Rayleigh should thank him, because he increased Rayleigh's value by dozens or even hundreds of times!
However, Vic felt that even if he continued to bid, the Celestial Dragons Shalria would still bid back. She had misunderstood her own body and mind and wouldn't care how much money she spent to buy Rayleigh.
However, Vic didn't want this female Celestial Dragons to hate him directly. Killing a Celestial Dragons was easy, but it would have a huge impact, and he didn't want to lose his title of Shichibukai yet.
Even if he is very strong and capable, it is still difficult to completely extricate himself from the situation. There are too many Devil Fruit abilities in this world, and there may be some with very subtle detection abilities. A hood can't cover too much, so it's best to be careful. The Celestial Dragons are powerful beings who are at the God Realm!
The only happy person on the field was the host. An ordinary old human man was worthless, but now he had been sold for 300 million Beli. He had made a fortune and could get another bonus.
There were quite a few unhappy people, such as Dark King Rayleigh, the person being auctioned. He stood there for so long, being watched and judged like a monkey. However, he was in a good mood. Although he was unhappy, he did not have the idea of overturning the table. He also wanted to see what Vic was up to.
The ones who were truly unhappy were the Celestial Dragons father and son. They were even angrier and more resentful than Shalria had wasted money. In their eyes, Rayleigh was worthless; they wouldn't even take him for free!
However, Shalria had actually spent so much money to buy an old man. While they were angry at her extravagance, they were also resentful of Vic's deliberate interference in raising the price. They believed that Shalria was being pressured by Vic to keep raising the price.
It wouldn't do for a Celestial Dragons to be outmaneuvered and buy something, so Shalria's actions didn't arouse their suspicion. However, the price they paid for the Celestial Dragons ' reputation was too high, so they vented all their anger on Vic. They were all wondering whether they should have Vic killed after they left the auction house.
As for the other party involved Shalria was only angry for a moment before she immediately became happy, because in the end she still got the old man she liked, and that blissful feeling from before would become a regular occurrence from now on. Just thinking about it made her face flush!
But after thinking about it, she realized she needed to get some longevity drugs. The old man on stage was obviously very old and probably wouldn't last many more years. She had to let him live a few more years; she didn't want to send him off before he could enjoy the things he loved and the love he had!
The old man wasn't someone she bought to satisfy her desires; she believed he was true love. Otherwise, why would she have felt such a strong connection just now? Why would it have made her soul leave her body and the path become muddy and impassable?
Blackbeard, Queen, and others who knew Rayleigh didn't make any bids. They didn't utter a single trick from beginning to end, treating it as just a good show. As for Vic, the mysterious person who dared to bid for Dark King Rayleigh, they were still very curious.
They were eager to see if Rayleigh would cause trouble for this man after the auction; they figured it would be quite a show!
Vic's body was enveloped in spiritual energy, which was Conqueror's Haki, so their Observation Haki couldn't detect Vic's presence at all.
