Chapter 1905

Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) · Lucy

"Sure thing!" Estelle said, balancing the late-night snack box as she headed inside with the man

walking beside her. But then, Estelle's ears picked up the murmur of men and women from the

direction of the living room.

Without any change of expression, Estelle set down the snacks and turned to leave.

The man followed her to the door, quietly closing the door after she left.

Estelle continued up to deliver the midnight feasts. She didn't encounter the person she was looking

for, but she wasn't worried—it was only her first day!

Just as she was about to return to the ground floor, a fellow maid grabbed her arm and said in

excitement, "No more work for now, there's an auction starting soon!"

The two women rode the elevator to the thirty-second floor and entered a bar.

Zion, desolate and empty by day, came alive at night with a cacophony of voices and a shimmer of

opulence.

The bar was a melting pot of nationalities, everyone laughing and carousing. Their serious, scientific

facades were nowhere to be seen at this moment.

The sweet blonde who'd brought Estelle here threaded through the crowd, receiving a playful pinch on

the waist from an acquaintance, to which she responded with a flirtatious wink.

She led Estelle to a spot near a central stage where a crowd was gathering in anticipation.

The blonde maid squeezed Estelle's hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "There are three up for

auction tonight, and they're all top-notch!"

Estelle realized they were auctioning off people.

She wasn't interested in the auction. Instead, her gaze kept sweeping the surrounding crowd.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers as the lights converged on the stage and a cage descended

from above, revealing a girl huddled inside.

Estelle had seen such spectacles before, but it had been years. Her feelings about it had changed.

Dressed in a revealing bikini, the girl in the cage was from Coral Island. Her frightened eyes was

scanning the ecstatic crowd around her.

The cage opened. With the top half rising, the girl was left on the stage.

The flickering lights, the excited onlookers, the fearful girl—all served to whip the crowd into a frenzy.

Their eyes were glued to the stage.

The auctioneer began detailing the girl's attributes in a code that Estelle understood all too well—her

country of origin, her measurements, even her virginity.

With each detail, the crowd cheered louder as if they were celebrating.

No one seemed to care that the girl on stage was crying.

The auctioneer announced the starting bid, and the figures began to climb.

The blonde beside Estelle whispered excitedly, "It's gotta be George who'll take her, he's got a thing for

Coral beauties!"

Sure enough, a man named George placed the winning bid of five thousand dollars and claimed the

girl.

As the auction settled down, the crowd's eyes gleamed with anticipation, their breaths quickening with

impatience.

Estelle looked up as a dark veil fell, encircling the stage, while George, shedding his clothes, made his

way towards it.

Estelle finally understood why everyone was so thrilled.

She took a deep breath and turned away.

She couldn't save the girl, not now. She wasn't in a position to save anyone!

The bar plunged into a Party at Midnight, the cheers deafening, the air stifling. It turned the place into a

tomb where souls were drained, leaving everyone numb and indifferent.

Only extreme thrills seemed to remind them they were alive!

About half an hour later, as the first round of Party at Midnight ended. Another girl was lowered onto the

stage.
