Clover’s ranch auction game was still going on, but Violet was starting to get sick of the atmosphere in front.
She had wanted to take advantage of the distraction of the VIPs focused on the auction and the game to slip backstage to take cover, but she didn’t expect the backstage security personnel and drug researchers to have their eyes on her.
A few people came directly to her, interrogated and harassed her.
"Hey! What’s wrong with you, sweetheart? Got ignored by the bosses out front and ran over here to sulk in secret? Don’t worry, you don’t need to fret about not making money. Guess what? We just happen to have ten thousand dollars right here! Just be a good girl, do as we say, and the money is yours! You don’t need to satisfy the bosses’ special requests to make big bucks, how about that?"
The security personnel mockingly took out several rolls of US dollars, tossing the bait.
"Do you guys get paid a lot, to be so willing to fork over this much money? But you guys are too many, if there were fewer of you I might consider, do you think I’m here just for the money? Treat me like some cheap whore who’s available for a price?" Violet retorted irritably. This text is hosted at novᴇlfire.net
"Isn’t that what you are?" The security and research staff exchanged glances and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Look at what you’re wearing, isn’t it just for ’easy access’? Or do you have other ideas? Want to hook up with a rich guy? Have their baby? Stop dreaming! Their money isn’t that easy to get, you’d better not have any crooked ideas, we’ll be watching you!"
The security staff seemed particularly earnest about this matter.
Violet stared at them as if they were idiots, feeling like ever since the auction was announced, there hadn’t been a single sane person on the ranch, all filled with dirty thoughts.
Noticing the white powder on their noses and around their mouths, she was also surprised: "You guys are on drugs too? Then who’s going to take care of security?"
The security personnel looked at each other and chuckled: "This must be your first time here! Don’t worry, this place is in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, no one would be so desperate to come here, the chances of coyotes and Pumas showing up are higher than that of strangers."
"Not far from the ranch, to the east and west, there are two specially constructed outposts, and our surveillance network center is also set up there. During your ride here, you must have seen the large windmills by the side of the road, that’s the wind power generation facility and signal tower. If outsiders come here, the control room will warn us ten minutes in advance! They will also actively intercept, ordinary people can’t even get here. We do security work here just as a formality, more to provide special services."
"Unless they fly over," said the security man.
They exchanged glances and laughed loudly: "But that’s not gonna happen."
"Mr. Priyan has hosted so many auctions before, and there has never been an accident, and this time will be no exception. You’re not thinking about going to report us to the boss for sneaking some snacks, are you?" The security personnel laughed heartily.
"Quit the chatter, either stay now and help us out, or go back out front and serve those big shots," someone got direct and approached.
Violet pondered for a moment, thinking the information could be useful, and she also needed to bide her time, waiting for the General Sect Leader to come and finish them off!
She pointed at a research staff member in the crowd, "I choose him!"
"Oh! No! Harry, you lucky dog! A beauty has taken a shine to you! Alright then, have a pleasant night." The security personnel issued wails of sadness and unwillingness, their envy and jealousy palpable.
The balding research old man was both shocked and delighted, pointing at himself in disbelief, "You’re choosing me?"
"Of course, my dear, shall we go somewhere private? You’d better make it worth my while!" Violet sashayed over, throwing him a flirtatious wink, and hooked his arm.
Immediately, the old man nodded eagerly, though hesitated, "But I can’t give you that much, I can only give you a maximum of two thousand US dollars."
"That’s enough, darling, compared to money, or lining up for a turn with a bunch of Poison Worms, I much prefer a slow-paced one-on-one, especially with a mature man full of experience and life wisdom, who can give me a better experience." Violet lied through her teeth, as smooth as silk.
The old man took it hook, line, and sinker, couldn’t contain his excitement, and immediately dropped everything in his hands, taking Violet by the hand and sneaking out the back door.
The two of them left the door chatting and laughing, and Violet suddenly felt something pressing against her, looking down, she realized this guy was only wearing a coat, with nothing underneath the lab coat.
A real ’no cover’ event.
Violet, looking at the old man trying to take advantage, was already on the verge of enacting violence.
"Sweetie, hurry and lean against the wall, we’ll resolve our little battle right here."
The old man excitedly took Violet behind the cattle barn, saying, "Don’t worry, this is a blind spot for the cameras, no one will notice."
Violet pointed at the sky, "The moon’s so full tonight."
"The moon is always full every night," the old man hurried forward, eager for action.
"Fuck you! When I say that, you’re supposed to play along and look up at the sky, not stare straight at my ass crack!!"
