Today for Some Reason, I Want to Do a Good Deed

Immediately after, Xingyue turned and walked back to her auction table, looking at the various participants in the auction below, and said, "So, the auction for the last item of today officially begins!"

"Today, the starting price for this last item is fifty thousand dollars!"

As Xingyue's voice fell on the auction platform, the most important part of this auction began!

"One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!!!"

...

Soon, the entire auction scene was caught up in a climax of bidding from all sides.

Clearly, everyone participating in this underground auction is not short of money. When bidding on items, they only need to consider whether it's worth buying and if it justifies the price.

Standing among the crowd, Lu Ting had his arms crossed in front of him, coldly observing everything that was happening.

Although his facial expression seemed indifferent to this last 'auction item' on the surface, deep down, Lu Ting was quite stirred.

Honestly, even though he, as a mercenary who was inherently more indifferent than ordinary people, couldn't help but find everything happening around the auction stage incredibly cruel for the little girl on display!

After all, a girl like her, around thirteen or fourteen years old, should have been growing up carefree under the love of her parents, enjoying the happiest moments of her childhood.

It's impossible for Lu Ting not to feel empathy in his heart.

He's not that kind of cold-blooded pervert.

Not only Lu Ting, but also Roach and Yuri standing on either side of him, felt psychologically uncomfortable with everything that was happening.

Yes, they are mercenaries driven by profit,

But even as mercenaries, they've just seen more life and death situations than ordinary people, not completely losing their humanity because of killing!

Seeing the numb expression on the little girl's face inside the glass display case, Lu Ting was silently overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

He couldn't help but feel that a girl this age should be showing an innocent smile on her face, not the lifeless, expressionless look she currently had!

If circumstances allowed, Roach and Yuri actually wanted to intervene and buy the girl, but because they were currently on an important mission, they couldn't do anything about it.

Moreover, at this moment, they couldn't actively speak up and ask their commander to buy the girl. Considering various factors, Roach and Yuri chose to remain silent and focus on their duties in the mission.

In fact, at this moment, besides Roach and Yuri, who wanted to buy the little girl, Lu Ting, whose eyes were locked onto the girl, had already made a decision in his heart!

That decision was to casually buy this little girl!

Lu Ting knew that in this world, regardless of which country, human trafficking was happening all the time, and they all shared the same tragic fate.

He also knew that these poor souls being trafficked couldn't be saved by his efforts alone.

But right now, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel from the depths of his heart that he should do something, even if it might cause trouble.

Lu Ting wasn't exactly a saint, but he had his own moral bottom line.

For a moment, Lu Ting's mind flashed with countless cruel scenes from movies he had seen before.

"You're lucky."

Watching the little girl locked in the glass display case, Lu Ting's lips curled into a faint smile.

As a mercenary who had been in various war zones, he had seen much suffering in the world.

His human nature had long been numbed.

But today, for some reason, he just wanted to do a little good.

Of course, Lu Ting had thought it through. Buying the girl wouldn't affect his future mission plans.

Besides, his current account had more money than he could possibly spend. Even if he spent another million dollar, it wouldn't make a dent.

If circumstances hadn't allowed for this, Lu Ting might not have felt this empathy.

Mission always came first!

He couldn't mess up the mission because of his empathy.

Furthermore, Lu Ting's current identity was that of a wealthy second-generation playboy from the Chinese. Portraying himself as someone who likes young girls would only enhance that image, wouldn't it?

Thinking this way, Lu Ting, who had been silently pondering with his head down, lifted his head again and looked at the auction stage. His gaze was no longer as playful as when he bought the first two auction items. Instead, a hint of greed appeared, seemingly interested in the albino girl in the glass display case.

At this moment, on the auction stage, the auction price for the albino girl in the rectangular glass display case had already reached six hundred and fifty thousand dollars!

"Six hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

"Anyone else want to continue bidding higher?"

Xingyue on the auction stage had a sweet smile, seemingly very satisfied with the rising trend of the 'auction item' prices.

But her smile appeared glaring in Lu Ting's eyes.

A femme fatale!

That was the only term Lu Ting could think of to describe this woman accurately!

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

And at this moment, Mr. Kira, who had been silent in front of Lu Ting, suddenly raised his hand to bid towards Xingyue on the auction stage.
