"Sir, will you be attending today's auction?" a woman's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"More likely no than yes... What's there?" spoke a stately, mature man in glasses, swaying in his business chair.

"It seems to be some kind of miracle... Some creature in an aquarium with a fish tail. I think it's a merman?"

"A merman?... Definitely worth a look."

Thus, the man set out for the meeting place with various people. For such a curiosity, the starting bid was 30 million dollars; well, the price was steep, but something like that! Many wanted to possess it. Different people—different goals. Some wanted to dissect it and send it to a museum, some simply as a house pet, and some for romantic pleasures. And so, the battle began. Jun Wu was bored; he didn't even want to take this strange creature, but when it raised its gaze toward him, shivers ran across his entire body and he felt as if he heard: "Save me..."

"Bid of 200 million! This gentleman is generous!! 1, 2, 3!!!!! Sold!!!!!" the auctioneer's voice shouted, followed by a whistle.
