Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers - Chapter 143
Chapter 143: Two Million?
Lauren tried her best to hold back her disgust.
At the moment, Lauren still remembered her identity and tried her best to make herself look as if she was delirious.
George had mentioned that during the process of kidnapping children, they would let the children smell a type of gas.
After they smelled the gas, they would not cry or make a scene. It was as if they had lost their consciousness and were at the mercy of others.
When the mission was given out, those people left behind the gas along with the note.
This time, they also left behind the gas, but George had handed it over to Lauren.
On the way here, Lauren carefully studied the gas in the taxi.
It was actually just a bottle with some gas in it. Upon closer inspection, one could even see a faint black-purple color.
Lauren directly put it into the pocket dimension. Who knows, it might come in handy in the future.
When the woman saw that Lauren did not react, she was certain that Lauren had already inhaled the gas.
So, she opened the cage and let Lauren crawl into it.
The cage was not padded with anything. Lauren was used to living comfortably, so she felt that the cage was very painful to her butt now.
However, the character she was pretending to be did not allow her to move around freely, so she could only endure it in silence.
‘When I am out, I would definitely drag those bad guys into the cage and let them have a taste of their own medicine!’ Lauren thought to herself.
After that, the woman made a phone call next to Lauren.
That woman did not avoid Lauren, so Lauren heard everything clearly.
“She’s already here. She’s a little girl and she’s quite cute. Looks like the finished product is pretty good.”
Lauren frowned.
Finished product? They actually referred to children as finished products. It seemed that these children were indeed treated as a kind of item to be traded.
“This child should be a little more expensive. You’ll know when you see this little girl. She’s cute and pretty, and her family background looks pretty good. Her birth chart should be very good. The effect should be better than the previous ones.”
Lauren was certain that the “previous ones” she mentioned were the children who had been kidnapped.
“Miss Pulver, we’ve been trading for so many years. How can I lie to you? You’ll know when you come and inspect the goods yourself. This child is definitely worth two million.”
Lauren was furious when she heard that.
Two million?
She was only worth two million?
Lauren was very unconvinced.
She was a charming person and loved by everyone. She was priceless, okay?
[System Divine Nine: Host, don’t worry about this for now. Did you forget some details?]
“Irene?”
This woman kept calling her “Miss Pulver”.
Lauren tried to recall who she knew with the surname ‘Pulver’. Wasn’t Irene Pulver the principal the only one?
Forty minutes later, the door to the warehouse opened again.
Lauren heard the sound of high heels approaching from afar.
When the pair of red high heels appeared in front of Lauren, Lauren recognized it as Irene Pulver.
With that fragrance, Lauren was able to recognize the person.
Of course, Lauren was supposed to be unconscious, so she couldn’t recognize anyone.
So when Irene squatted down, her eyes were unmoved.
Irene, on the other hand, did not hide the surprise in her eyes when she saw Lauren.
“So it was this girl you said was worth $2 million.”
The space between the cages is large enough for an adult’s arm to pass through.
Irene’s fingernails were painted red.
She put her right hand into the cage, lifted Lauren’s chin, and turned her face left and right.
It was like checking a product for imperfections.
“This little girl is worth two million. It’s a pity I can’t keep her for myself. Otherwise, I could keep my looks for another eight or ten years.”
Lauren did not stop Irene from pinching her face. She thought to herself, ‘The truth was not far from what I had guessed.’
The reason why Irene could remain so young was indeed related to these missing children.
“Lily, did your people find this little girl?”
The person who looked like both a male and a female was called Lily.
“Our people didn’t find this girl. Our ghosts found this girl. They’re much stronger than humans.”
“So do you want to buy it for two million? It’s not a bad price, right?”
“It’s not a bad price indeed. What about her family background?”
Lily took out a piece of paper from somewhere.
Of course, this piece of paper was also arranged by Lauren in advance. She completely made up a different version of her background.
