The Girl He Dumped Becomes a Billionaire.

Chapter 7

Because of the angle, Marianne who was just now didn't see Kurou's tail, so she mistook him for a commoner with slight knowledge of magic.

"That's interesting." Marianne waved at the hamster, signaling him to come up and take a turn.

"He's a hybrid?" Marianne observed that the hamster only had an imp-like tail, but not the demon's trademark red pupils and large pitch-black horns.

"You are correct, he is a half-breed with a quarter demon blood." The slaver thought Marianne was interested in the hamster, so he smoothly introduced, "Demons have a talent in the field of black magic that is no less than that of humans. It's just that, as you know, half-bloods aren't as long-lived or battle-hardened as true humanoids in the end, so they're among the goods that don't sell well in the market."

Speaking of this, the slaver also revealed a headache expression, "Unless it's a curiosity-hunting noble or an affluent family that wants to buy a slave to increase their labor force, no one will set their eyes on the half-bloods."

"It's only natural." Lucius added from the side, "But anyone who has been to the Colosseum can understand the vast difference between the mixed-blood race and the humanoid race. Although they have a more robust body or lifespan than humans, they are like second-rate people who have not learned their craft well, and it is difficult for them to reach the same height as humans or humanoids in a certain aspect."

Lucius looked over at the expressionless warehouse manager, not caring what kind of psychological damage his words would do to the other man, "Other than doing chores and being used for entertainment, they have no other use for them either."

"Sounds like really unworthy cargo to train." Marianne's words changed, "So do you have any hybrids here that are worth cultivating."

"I said ...... are you really listening to me seriously?" Lucius was very speechless and said, "Mixed-blood species themselves don't have cultivation value, so what's the difference between you and throwing money into the ocean?"

"The difference is that I want to buy a hybrid species that is comparable to a humanoid species." Marianne asked rhetorically, "You don't think that hybrids are only limited to human-humanoid hybrids, do you? If it's a hybrid between a humanoid race and a humanoid race, there won't be a situation where it's not comparable to either a human or a humanoid race."

"But is it really possible to find a humanoid race mixed with a humanoid race?" Lucius expressed his skepticism, "Without human blood as a buffer, it's impossible for those humanoid race hybrids to survive 'normally' even if they don't die in the Matrix."

"But I don't want to buy normal." Marianne looked at the slaver whose smile deepened a few more points, finally showing an interested expression, "Uncertainty is what makes it worthwhile to invest in, and if he can't even do this little thing, then he's not qualified to claim to be a veteran supplier in the slave market."

"Your words have truly changed my opinion of you." The slaver signaled the warehouse manager to come forward and undo the camouflage magic in the room.

All Lucius and Marianne could see was crooked runes extending outward from the floor with the hamster at the center, eventually forming a circular magic formation with a one meter radius.

"Unless it's some hunted noble clientele, very few people are interested in the 'physically crippled' high class hybrids." The slaver watched as a door slowly rose out of the magic array before inviting his guests to go in with him.

"This is a great joke." Lucius was nonchalantly sarcastic, "That 'crippled' could be an indicator for judging hybrids, and that hybrids with human blood are no better than the crippled ones that humanoids crossbreed with."

"After all, excluding the most advanced humans, it is extremely difficult for all other sentient beings to give birth to healthy hybrids with another sentient being. Gaijin was the first to create his favorites, so those human remnants are simply not qualified to compete with humans." The slaver lit a magical lamp so that Marianne and Lucius could see off the advanced hybrids that were being held captive.

Unlike the cages and chains used to lock up the Orcs when they first entered, the place where the High Half-Breeds were being held was much more interesting due to the variety of "conditioning tools".

Whether it's a water tank filled with marvelous liquids or iron spikes with cactus-like roots, they all reflect the preciousness and difficulty in taming these "high-class goods" to a certain extent.

Lucius had never seen such a strange sight.

As a Holy Knight, he wasn't a devout person in the traditional sense, but he didn't have any hobbies of hunting either.

"You also have really ...... peculiar taste." Lucius almost vomited in disgust at the hybrid mermaid inside a large water tank as he passed by.

Unlike people's traditional impression of mermaids, the mermaid sealed in the water tank had devil-like black horns and viper-like scales. Perhaps because of the mixed insect bloodline, there was a ring of fine soft fluff at her temples, and the characteristic insect patches surfaced on her face as well.

"Human ...... human?" The mixed blood mermaid seemed to have low intelligence, and the moment she saw Lucius she clung to the hard glass and then tapped with unimaginable force: 'Human ...... food, human ...... food. "

Both Marianne and the slaver were attracted by the movement of the hybrid mermaid, and the former even lifted his chin toward Lucius and teased, "Like it? I'll buy it for you if you like it."

Lucius withdrew his eyes that fell on the hybrid mermaid and turned his hand to pinch Marianne's cheeks, signaling her to keep her mouth shut.

The slaver always felt that there was something off about Marianne's relationship with Lucius, but adhering to the principle of saying less and doing more, he looked away very wisely before pulling back a white cloth covering the large cage.

"This is the best goods I have here." The slave trader pointed at the high-level hybrids in the cage and said with great pride, "Hunting-looking high-level hybrids are not rare, what's really rare are the hybrids that share the same appearance as humans under generation after generation of hybridization."

The slave trader brought the magic lamp close to the iron cage, illuminating the pure white slave with amazing beauty inside.

In terms of appearance, he was indeed no different from a human. Even in full nudity, Marianne couldn't find any organs that he possessed, that were different from normal.

The only thing that made him different from ordinary people was his long white hair and pale, bloodless skin, which was extremely rare.

The moment this half-breed got really close, Marianne realized why he was the slaver's grand finale.

It was because the other had extremely magnificent rosy red pupils that even plummeted into vertical pupils when someone got close.

"It took me a great deal of effort to breed premium goods." The slaver led Marianne around the cage to make her understand how precious this item was.

"His father is a mix between a Mori Elf and a mermaid, and his mother is a mix between a snake Orc and a Bug." The slaver said as he had the barn manager actuate the cage's charm, causing the pure white half-blood slave to show his humanoid features hidden beneath his normal appearance as he was pressed into service.

"An absolute rarity, not only the physical quality or magical talent is not inferior to a true Orc or Elf." The slaver reached into the cage, then cupped the slave's chin and forced him to meet Marianne's eyes.

"Besides, basic qualities aside, this face alone is enough for you to put a high price on him!" The slave trader looked at the youthful and beautiful Marianne and revealed an ambiguous smile, "As long as you like, you can enjoy the meekness of an elf, the song of a mermaid, the durability of a serpentine Orc, and the fancy of an insectoid on him."

"Your honorable highness, the chance to have such a precious toy is only now."

"Are you really not moved?"
