Iris stared into his depthless eyes, trying to figure out what he was thinking, but all she could tell; he was like a calm river, without anyone knew the current underneath it.
Cane was planning something, he wanted to make a change and he was already making a move on that, for that she was pretty sure, but because he started from the very bottom to arrange everything, his movement had not alarmed anyone yet.
From the documents that she had translated, she could learn that much. Cane was creating a connection with the holly kingdom, but for what?
Needless to say, aside from trading, because of the magic stone mines in this continent, the two continents were not really in a good term, as those people from across the sea saw them as beast. Creature that defied natural orders because they could take animal form and human form both.
Some of them even thought they were as low as animal. The last time Serafim visited this continent was fifteen years ago.
What Cane was planning with people from Holly Kingdom?
Iris couldn’t find the answer, but in the end, it was her, who averted her gaze first, she lowered her head to see the auction below, as she watched them open the price for a white tiger for three hundred gold.
Three hundred gold?!
Commoner with a family of four could use one gold to eat pleasantly for a month, but three hundred gold for an opening price for a white tiger? That was too much!
“Is a white tiger that expensive?”
“No, its not an ordinary white tiger.” Redmond nodded at the stage again and told her to pay close attention.
Right at the same time, the auctioneer drew all of their attention to see what the white tiger could do.
A second later the white tiger shifted into a little boy, around the age of five, he looked terrified. The little boy had white hair and fair complexion, he had grey eyes as well. Was he blind? But, when he took his surroundings with his fearful eyes, Iris knew that
he was not.
He was crying, hugging her small body. On the big stage, under the intense gazes of

people around him, stranger that wanted their hand on him, it must be so terrifying.
“How can that be?” Iris was stunned. She felt the lizard that rested on her shoulder poked its tiny head from her curls.
“That boy is the last diamond white tiger.”
“What is that?”
“His tears are diamond.”
“Really?” Ethan and Will, who heard that explanation went to the railing to see whether that was true or not. “I heard something like that, but I thought that was just a myth.” Ethan was in disbelieve as he watched how three diamonds dripped on the floor. It was so tiny, but still, it was diamond.
Even though diamond was not as expensive as magic stone, but this material was widely consumed by people, since everyone could use it, not like the magic stone, which only restricted to the magic user and healer that could find the use of it.
“How come they are almost extinct?” Ethan asked. The four of them leaned to the railing, while the price skyrocketed to two thousand golds.
“Are you stupid or what? Don’t you know about any news outside of the Howling Wolf pack?” Redmond shot the gamma a disdainful glared.
“Oh, thanks to your great alpha, I know nothing except the dungeon and his torturing room.” Ethan’s voice was chilly, he looked at Redmond with killing intent, while Will, who was standing between them, raised both of his hands.
“Wow… calm down everyone…” Will couldn’t help, but getting a headache to be the intermediary between the two of them. Why he had to find himself in the middle of these two? He shot Redmond a warning glare, while he pressed his palm against Ethan’s chest, to prevent him from attacking the warrior first.
Meanwhile, Iris had moved to the side, she was afraid if she got tangled up if the fight
broke loose.
However, Redmond shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly, as if there was nothing important to mention here. “Of course, the diamond white tiger is extinct now. They need to make them cry to get the diamond and some time, most of the time, they got carried away and killed them, especially when they stubborn not to drop a single tear.”
He answered him lightly, continued the conversation earlier, as if he had never provoked the gamma in the first place.

“For as long as I know, he is the last diamond white tiger, because his mother died a year ago. Her mother is under the possession of the Red Claw pack. Someone must have kidnapped him to be sold here.”
At this point, the price had reached ten thousand gold. It was an enormous amount of money, but knowing this boy could make more in the long run, it seemed it was a good investment for those twisted mind people.
“Twenty thousand gold!”
Someone shouted from the second tier, the fourth cubicle on their left, this person stood on the railing, thus people could see him.
Only when Cane heard this voice, he walked toward the railing as well. His eyes narrowed at the bidder and a man beside him.
“Hha! He must have heard about this tiger.” Redmond folded his arms in front of his chest. He seemed to know that man too.
“Do you know who is he?” Will asked.
“He is the crown prince. He started to participate in the black market two years ago,” Redmond scoffed. “That stupid brat.”
And aside from Redmond, it seemed Cane also recognized him, despite the mask that he was wearing. He then waved his hand to Iris to come over.
“Can you read what they are talking about?” Cane asked her. He couldn’t hear with this distance, but Iris must be able to read their conversation, as long as she could see their lips.
