Chapter 983 She Went Blind
As soon as Alexander set off, the group of people marched grandly back into the underground club.
The people here only start working at night.
When they suddenly barged in, it was very quiet inside, but not dark; in fact, it was quite bright.
Several big shots from out of town and abroad were sitting in the booth closest to the large fish tank, smoking cigars, holding beautiful women, and watching the mermaid show inside.
The so-called mermaid show was an extreme method they used to deal with those girls.
The owner of the underground club was sitting there. When he saw the newcomers, he immediately stood up, "Who are you? What do you want?"
In the vast space, it suddenly became crowded with enforcers from various gangs.
Alexander led Edward out from the crowd, "It's me, Alexander."
"Mr. Harrington? What brings a perfect gentleman like you to my place?"
The owner of the underground club's expression changed, and he immediately greeted Alexander with a smile.
Alexander didn't speak. He just walked over and sat down, crossing his left leg over his right, and said indifferently, "I heard you have a show here. I came to join the fun, is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem."
"She surrendered, quick, I want this beauty."
Suddenly, an old man sitting diagonally across from Alexander pointed at the girl in the fish tank with the hand holding his cigar and said.
The girl was holding up a sign that read: Please set a price.
The large fish tank was too small, and it was easy for people inside to become oxygen-deprived, especially since the top was mostly sealed.
Some girls would pass out from lack of oxygen, but would be thrown back in repeatedly until they held up that sign to surrender.
The girl had the cover above her opened and then lay there gasping for air, crying uncontrollably, her tears indistinguishable from the water.
Her eyes were filled with despair, as if she was saying she had had enough.
Her starting price was $420,000, and she was a virgin.
Each hunter had different preferences, and the highest bidder would win.
She was brought before the old man, kneeling and crying on his lap. The old man squinted his eyes, smoking his cigar, "Hold back your tears."
The girl immediately dared not cry anymore and obediently held back her tears.
The old man was satisfied and only then accepted her.
Soon, another girl was thrown into the fish tank. Her eyes were covered with a blindfold, and she was even tied up when she went in.
Edward whispered in Alexander's ear, "It's said that the girls who are tied up are the most stubborn. Their way of surrendering is to bang against the glass."
Alexander didn't say anything, just silently watched. Out of several young girls, only one did not surrender.
The girl who didn't surrender was fished out after passing out and thrown to the ground.
The enforcer slapped her face hard until she woke up.
"They're quite gentle with these girls here. To ensure customer satisfaction, the enforcers won't leave a single scar on them."
The foreigner next to Alexander said.
Alexander immediately shot him a sharp look and asked, "What if the girl already has scars?"
"Then they have to inform the customer in advance. If the customer likes her, they'll buy her."
Old men like that mostly preferred clean, flawless girls with skin as smooth as silk, but some men liked women who had been married.
The foreigner said this and gestured for Alexander to look ahead.
Sure enough, someone immediately held up a sign in front to remind, ensuring that these customers saw clearly before stepping back.
The sign showed: This person had multiple scars.
Alexander's aura became noticeably more oppressive.
The girl with the scars didn't resemble Victoria in body shape. Though she was thin, she was different from Victoria.
Several girls were taken away to change clothes and would be trained for a few hours before being sent to customs.
Alexander signaled to Frank with his eyes.
Frank nodded and, taking advantage of the moment, led a few people to follow the girls.
When discovered, Frank quickly knocked the people out efficiently.
The other enforcers were also swift and decisive.
The girls huddled in a small room, looking at them in fear.
Frank took out his phone and opened the photo album. "Have you seen this person?"
"She's the blind girl."
"Blind girl?"
The girls' eyes were filled with surprise, recognizing her, but only one impulsively spoke out and was then covered by the girl next to her.
"Let her go," Frank said indifferently.
"She looks a lot like a blind girl here. It seems her hearing isn't good either. She's passed out several times."
"Where is she?"
Frank's chest heaved violently, and his voice was a bit hoarse.
He didn't know what Victoria had gone through during this time.
How could Victoria be blind and deaf?
Was Victoria also made to perform in that fish tank?
"I can't say. If I do, we'll die."
"Do you think you'll get out of here alive if you don't talk?"
Frank said, slightly turning his face. Behind him stood eight strong men, all looking like reckless killers.
The girls were already scared, and after exchanging glances, they broke down.
"Sir, please save us. We were all deceived into coming here. If we're sold to those people, we'll die too!"
"That depends on your cooperation. You just said you've seen this person. Where is she?"
The young girl looked fearfully at the others.
"They said the blind girl is special. Anyone who reveals her whereabouts will die."
"As long as she's here, I'll find her sooner or later. When that happens, who do you think will die?"
Frank asked calmly.
The girls had seen many people here and knew Frank was likely an enforcer for some big shot. They asked, "Is the blind girl your family's heiress?"
"She is our mistress."
"She has many wounds. She looks like your mistress, but does your mistress have many wounds?"
The girl scrutinized Frank, trying to confirm from his face.
"Where is she?"
Frank was running out of patience.
"She should be next. She's not usually kept with us. Only when she first arrived was she with us. We asked her questions, but she didn't respond. We thought she was mute, but she talks in her sleep, always calling out Strawberry."
"We guessed she must want to eat strawberries, but how could she think of eating strawberries at a time like this?"
The girls started chattering.
That was the only night they had spent with Victoria.
Others might not know, but Frank certainly knew why Victoria would call out Strawberry.
Eve had cried countless times after her miscarriage.
No mother would forget her child, even if it was just a child that had once been in her womb.
Frank quickly led his men out and then returned to Alexander and Edward.
At that moment, a woman was suddenly thrown in.
As the water splashed, she quickly sank inside.
