...The Bet...

Rose followed the strange man without any fear at first, but he started to seem a little bit suspicious because he kept looking around him all the time.

" Something is off about this man, I have to be more careful, luckily I brought a weapon along with me"

They got away from the crowd.

- Where are you taking me?

- Don't worry miss, we are there. The game is about to begin, we must hurry to win the big prize

Rose's suspicion increased towards the man. Especially when they entered into a basement of an old house. She was ready to attack him until they arrived at a big hall full of people.

" It is bigger than I thought"

- So what is the game?

- It is very simple. We will be showing a lot of goods and you must Guess their real price. The closest one to the price will win the commodity.

- That's it?

The man smiled at her.

- Please come here and take a seat.

She sat in front of a big stand, a lot of women, one by one were displaying goods in front of everyone.

Rose tried to guess the price, but she wasn't even close.

" That's weird, The merchandises are not that outstanding but their prices are so high. is it because of the game? I feel uncomfortable about the whole situation"

While she was watching, a masked man came and sat beside her. His face was covered by a black mask. she felt that he was watching her but she just ignored him.

" Why do I keep encountering weird people?"

After a while, the man who brought her came again, while holding a necklace.

- Hey, miss, can you help us, please.

- What do you want?

- Can you be the one presenting this necklace? You are very beautiful, you will give her more value if you wear it.

- I'm sorry I have to leave.

- This is the last item, and the most precious one. You will be rewarded if it gets a higher price.

" I Have a bad feeling about this, but I will go along with him. as a knight who vowed to protect these people's land, I must investigate this situation further"

- Fine, I will do it. Replied Rose while smiling.

She wore the necklace and stood in front of the participants. And then the betting began.

The price was getting higher and higher like crazy.

" It reached 10 million? This is insane, this necklace doesn't even worth a thousand...wait a minute, are they betting on.....me?"

Seeing how the men were looking at her, she realized at that moment that she was being sold.

" No, everything becomes clear, this is a slave auction. They are alluring lonely women to come here then they put them in the sale. Not only kidnapping but also human trafficking. This is big, I can't handle it myself, I must inform the others, but I have to go out of this place first"

The price sat finally at 50 million, that masked man won the bet.

- You did a very good job, my lady. Now go in there, they will give you your prize.

"Bastard, did he think I'm that idiot, I will go to confirm my suspicions then I will make them regret."

She went into a room behind the stand, she was right, there were a lot of women tied up.

Suddenly a big man showed from behind holding a rope.

- Welcome, beauty.

He tried to catch her, but she kicked him immediately between his legs. Then she knocked him off with a strong hit on his head.

She ran toward the poor women and cut the ropes with her dagger to set them free.

- Hurry up, let's go.

When they were about to leave, the masked man appeared in front of them.

- You are mine, where do you think you're going?
