Just as Mango was about to say something to Marissa, she suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "That's him!"
A man was brought out of the stage, and he looked absolutely stunning. If Marissa hadn't told her in advance, she would have really thought that he was a woman, one beautiful enough to rock the world.
"Is he a man?"
Then Marissa nodded her head quickly.
"Yes. His name is Desmond Blu."
Marissa's gaze had been fixed on him ever since he appeared.
After that, the host on stage gave an introduction.
"Look what we have here! This is a rare beauty we have for auction. His blood is blue in color, just like his hair. Furthermore, it is said that his blood can be used as a medicine. Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at his appearance. Observe just how stunning and breath-taking he is."
Next, Desmond was brought up to the stage but he looked weak and powerless. He was glaring at the host with his blue eyes, but even so, his gaze was still so alluring.
"I'll bid five million."
Someone had begun to bid for him.
'TH pay five million and five hundred thousand dollars!"
The people below raised the price like a bunch of fanatics.
As Mango looked at him from above, she marveled at the existence of such a person. Setting aside his stunning appearance, Mango had never heard of anyone with blue blood.
"Is his blood really blue?"
Mango looked at Marissa as she spoke.
Meanwhile, Marissa's eyes were full of tears. Then, she bit her lower lip and said, "Yes, he's actually had a hard life. He was brought to the laboratory when he was in the womb. His mother died from the experiment, but he was lucky enough to survive after the Caesarean section. However, his blood was turned blue. My father said that this was caused by genetic modification, but I didn't understand it either. Everyone kept saying that his blood could be used as medicine. Growing up, he's faced discrimination and judgement. I wanted him to leave, but I didn't expect that he would actually be caught by these
people."
Mango moved her gaze to Desmond again.
His skin was as white as snow.
Any normal person would definitely not have a skin colour like that.
The host then lifted Desmond's sleeve, and blue blood vessels could be seen clearly beneath his pale white skin.
Next, the bidding price became increasingly higher.
"Paola, I'm begging you. I'll do anything for you as long as you bid for him."
Marissa cried so hard that her face was covered with tears.
Then, Mango said in a low voice, "His bidding price is rising. You have to know that it is not something we can put a limit on."
"Please! I'm begging you!"
Marissa grasped tightly in her hand and Mango felt a little sad after looking at her desperate and expectant gaze.
Out of fear that Mango would refuse to do so, Marissa gritted her teeth and said, "Desmond has an ability, and his sense of smell is very sharp. As long as he smells your husband's scent, he will definitely be able to help you find him."
"Are you saying Desmond is a dog?"
Honestly, Mango felt that her words were too farfetched.
"It's true. I'm not lying to you."
Marissa defended her statement quickly.
Seeing her like this, Mango let out a sigh and said, "I don't have much money right now, and all I have is my husband's money. I can promise to win the bid for you, but you have to make sure that he will help me find my husband."
"Definitely!"
Marissa nodded quickly.
Mango had no choice but to lend her an helping hand, seeing that they also looked quite similar to each other.
The bid price continued to rise, but Mango did not bid. By the time the bid reached ten million, everyone stopped adding on.
Seeing that Desmond was about to be auctioned off, Mango calmly rang the auction bell.
"I'll pay one million and one hundred dollars."
The bidders were annoyed as soon as she announced the bidding price.
"I'll add a hundred dollars." "Then I'll add ten thousand more."
Nevertheless, Mango continued to bid.
The other parties were so angry that they wanted to take a good look at Mango's face. However, due to the dim lightning, they could not see it clearly.
"I'll add a hundred thousand more."
"I'll add another million."
Mango said it as if it wasn't much of a deal to her.
In the end, the other party gave up.
Eventually, Mango successfully bought Desmond at a price of 10.1 million dollars.
By the time the bid had reached ten million, Marissa's expression had become unbelievably sour and Mango could tell that she didn't have that much money. However, she had no choice but to bid for it.
Soon, Desmond was brought to Mango's room.
"Madam, please pay the bill. This beautiful specimen will belong to you as long as you make the full payment."
Meanwhile, Desmond tried his best to struggle, but he was defenceless. Therefore, he could only glare at the host fiercely with his piercing, sharp gaze.
However, the host had long been accustomed to this kind of expression, so he didn't care at all.
