Introduction

Panimula
Sa puso ng isang mundong pinapatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pagnanasa, ang Balthazar's Auction House ay isang kaharian ng karangyaan at intriga. Nang isang kaakit-akit na Mutant na babae ang iniauksyon sa halagang isang daang milyong dolyar, si Sylvester Gomez ang nag-angkin sa kanya, nagsisimula ng isang serye ng mga pangyayari na mag-iiwan ng lahat na nabighani.

Sa isang mapangahas na hakbang upang kumpirmahin ang kanyang pagkakakilanlan bilang isang Mutant, tinikman ni Gomez ang kanyang dugo—isang lasa na naging adiksyon, nagpapalakas ng kanyang obsesyon na ganap na angkinin siya. Pinangalanan niya siyang Lela, isang pangalang kasing-akit ng babae mismo.

Habang ang mga alindog ni Lela ay humihila sa kanila sa isang mapanganib na sayaw ng dominasyon at pagnanasa, isang kapanapanabik na labanan ang nagaganap—isang kwento ng pag-ibig, obsesyon, at isang mahiwagang mundo na magpapabighani sa mga mambabasa sa bawat pagliko ng pahina.

Chapter 1

Sa hangganan ng Skya, sa Bahay-Panulukan ni Balthazar.

Sa ilalim ng dilim ng gabi, nag-uusap ang mga tao, nagpapainit sa kapaligiran.

Sa gitna ng bahay-panulukan, unti-unting umaangat ang isang plataporma, nagpapakita ng mga bagay na natatakpan ng pulang pelus, na naglilikha ng aura ng misteryo na nais tuklasin ng bawat isa.

"Narinig ko na gumastos ng malaking halaga ang mga nag-organisa para makuha ang bihirang kayamanang ito para sa auction."

"Anong klaseng kayamanan kaya iyon?"

"Nakaka-excite talaga! Interesado akong makita kung gaano ito kakaiba."

Sa isang pribadong kahon sa ikalawang palapag ng bahay-panulukan, may mga payat na daliri na kumakatok sa mesa at ang mga malalim na amber na mata ay may kislap ng aliw. Ang mga salitang nagmumula sa ibaba ay nagbigay aliw sa kanya; ilan kaya sa kanila ang kayang magbayad para sa mga walang katumbas na bagay na ito?

Sa entablado, isang lalaking nakasuot ng itim na tailcoat at may suot na pilak na maskara ng soro ang lumapit. Kalahati ng kanyang buhok na hanggang balikat ay nakatali, hawak nang magaan ang mikropono. Ang kanyang boses ay malambot ngunit may talim.

"Maligayang pagdating sa Balthazar's Auction House!"

Natahimik ang mga tao sa stands habang isa-isang ibinebenta ang mga bagay na may iba't ibang laki, karangyaan, at halaga, hanggang sa natira na lamang ang isang bagay.

Ang Balthazar's Auction House, na nasa hangganan ng mga bansa ng Skya at Pliar, at suportado ng isang misteryosong organisasyon, ay isang lugar na walang sinuman ang nangangahas gumawa ng gulo. Ang paggawa ng eksena dito at ngayon ay nangangahulugan ng kamatayan. Tahimik na naghihintay ang lahat sa huling pagbubunyag.

"Ang huling bagay na ia-auction ay hindi na kailangan ng mahabang paliwanag, kaya hindi ko na pahahabain. Narito ang Mutant ng Immortal Man! Magsisimula ang bidding sa sampung milyong dolyar," sigaw ng auctioneer, habang tinatanggal ang pulang pelus. Nahulog ang pulang tela, nagpapakita ng isang batang babae na nakasiksik sa loob ng isang malaking gintong hawla.

Ang kanyang mukha, bahagyang natatakpan ng isang magaan na belo, nagpapakita lamang ng kanyang magandang itim na buhok at makinis na balat.

Ang kanyang mga mata ay kumikislap na parang alon sa tubig ng taglagas, dalisay at inosente, walang kamalay-malay sa mga paraan ng mundo.

Isa lamang ang makakapag-imagine ng nakakabighaning kagandahan na nakatago sa ilalim ng belo na iyon.

Nagkagulo at nagkabanggaan ang mga boses sa buong silid.

"Kaya ito pala ang legendary Mutant ng Immortal Man? Nakakagulat."

"Narinig ko na ang pag-inom ng dugo ng isang Mutant ay maaaring magpagaling ng lahat ng sakit at kahit pahabain ang buhay. Hindi na nakapagtataka na sampung milyon ang panimulang bid."

"Nakakadiri naman. Nabasa ko sa mga sinaunang teksto na ang pakikipagtalik sa isang Mutant ay kasing epektibo rin ng pag-inom ng kanilang dugo."

"Hindi totoo yan! Kahit na kilala ang Immortal Man sa buong mundo sa larangan ng medikal na pananaliksik, walang sinuman ang gagawa ng ganoon -”

"Mayroon silang pinakamakapangyarihang presensya, ngunit napakamisteryoso rin. Hindi natin alam ang eksaktong lugar kung saan sila nanggaling; sigurado ba tayo na may ganitong bagay bilang Mutant ng Walang Kamatayang Tao?"

"Hindi mo naiintindihan, kaibigan. Ito ang Balthazar's Auction House, wala silang peke na paninda."

"Bente milyon!" sigaw ng isang boses mula sa dilim.

Pagkabagsak ng boses ng host, agad na may nagtaas ng kanilang bidding paddle.

"Bente singko milyon."

"Trenta milyon."

"Trenta singko milyon."

"Kwuarenta milyon!" Narinig ang mga buntong-hininga sa buong silid. Paano nga ba may magpapasya na gumastos ng ganito kalaking pera sa isang item, kahit pa ito'y isang Mutant!

"…"

Nagsisimulang mabaliw ang mga tao sa mga upuan at patuloy na tumataas ang mga presyo.

Ang dalaga sa maselang hawla ay nakayuko, ang kanyang malinaw na mga mata ay kalmado at inosente, walang kamalayan sa mga bagay sa mundo at walang bakas ng takot.

Sa pribadong silid sa ikalawang palapag, pumasok ang isa pang lalaki na nakasuot ng amerikana at lumapit sa nakaupong pigura.

"Sir, hindi matagpuan ang Divine Doctor. Ano ang masasabi ninyo tungkol sa 'Mutant ng Walang Kamatayang Tao'?"

Mula sa kanyang upuan malapit sa balkonahe, nanatiling tahimik si Sylvester, mabigat ang kanyang tingin habang tinitingnan ang babae – dalaga, talaga – sa gintong hawla. Iniisip niya ang kanyang sitwasyon.

Dahil hindi nagsasalita ang kanyang kaibigan, naghintay na lang si Michael Gomez.

Umabot na sa limampung milyon ang presyo.

Isang matabang, kalbong lalaki na may gutom na tingin ang nagmura, "Putik, tumataas ang presyo, ayokong mawala itong masarap na piraso."

"Limampu't limang milyon," sigaw ng isang boses malapit.

Sa katabing pribadong silid, kumaway ang isang matandang lalaki, labis na ipinagmamalaki ang kanyang bid.

Nang marinig ito, kumunot ang noo ni Sylvester sa pagkadismaya. Kaswal niyang kumaway ng kamay. Agad na itinaas ng kanyang tauhan ang paddle. "Isang daang milyon."

Ang presyo ay dumoble ng ilang beses mula sa panimulang bid, ngunit ito'y hindi kapani-paniwala! Sandaling natahimik ang buong lugar.

Naramdaman ni Michael ang pagmamalaki. Pagkatapos ng lahat, ang kanyang boss ay bihirang sumali sa mga auction.

Nang umabot sa isang daang milyon dolyar ang bid, maraming tao sa silid ang nagdalawang-isip na magpatuloy. Pagkatapos ng lahat, maraming nakalistang kumpanya ang walang ganitong kalaking kita.

Anong klaseng tao ang makakagawa ng ganitong bid? "Isang daang milyon" ang lumabas sa kanyang bibig na parang wala lang.

"Maaaring ito'y isang inosente at hangal na bidder?" may nagduda.

"Simpleton, para sa mga top billionaires na hindi kapos sa pera, ang halaga ng isang Mutant ay madaling lumampas sa isang daang milyon dolyar. Dapat mong malaman na hindi pera ang kulang sa kanila, kundi ang pagkakataong magtamasa ng kayamanan."
