Lady Of The Night (7)

(Northern Region- New Atlantic City)

(Inner District- Unovan Auction House)

"When will the auction begin?" a low raspy voice came from the elderly man currently sitting down in a private box.

Below him was a large open hall with enough seats for over three hundred people. 

There was a stage in front of the room that was separated from the rest of the hall by a large transparent barrier.

The plastic barrier was put in place in case of any accidents. 

Its purpose was to prevent the scent of blood from arousing the crowd if one of the livestock got injured on the stage.

The room was completely packed, and one could hear excited voices echoing through the large open space.

"Should be only a few more minutes…" a voice lazily replied to the elderly man's question. 

An attractive young woman raised up her palm to cover her lips and then yawned sleepily.

The elderly man grunted once and then stayed silent.
