[Volume 4]: Chapter 101 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

With a skip in her step, Ifia joyfully looked for Amelia, only to be stopped in her tracks when she saw Qiuer Te coming to the door. Ifia stood in place, displeased, ready to hear what Qiuer Te was up to this time! Amelia should just kick him out directly. Out of sight, out of mind! Pondering this, Ifia simply crouched at the top of the stairs, sneaking a peek down into the living room, carefully observing the situation. Unlike the last time when Qiuer Te barged in arrogantly, now he appeared pale and weary, like a defeated cock with no vitality, even though he tried to conceal it on the surface, the bitterness within him was still evident. Tightly pursed lips, occasional flashes of malice in his eyes, all proved his resentment. Now, it was just a deliberate display of weakness, like a wolf feigning defeat. Unlike Qiuer Te, who stood still, opposite him on the sofa, Amelia sat right in the center, casually holding a cup of coffee, occasionally taking a sip, appearing relaxed and indifferent, as if she hadn't noticed a living person standing in front of her. Completely ignoring Qiuer Te. "Miss Barren, on account of my assistance in announcing and hosting the auction, please consider canceling the bidding contract with the Roseld Royal Family! The price of 85 million gold coins is just too high!" Although the successful bid contract was signed by Qiuer Te, due to his representation of the Roseld Royal Family, the contract had become officially effective. Even if they returned to the Dalva City, the Roseld Royal Family did not acknowledge it, they would have to present relevant evidence. If they failed to do so, Qiuer Te's actions at the auction in the Castel Territory would remain valid. Because of this, after waking up in a hurry upon being carried away when he fainted, Qiuer Te thought of this immediately, ignoring everything else, and rushed to visit Miss Barren, Amelia, in a hurry. It had to be canceled! So long as Miss Barren, Amelia, agreed, they wouldn't have to waste money as a scapegoat. As for what to do after canceling the bidding contract and not fulfilling the task given by the Royal Family, it was easily resolved. Ten magical plants were auctioned, and apart from Qiuer Te's high-priced bid for the first plant, the remaining nine were successfully bid for by other families. Just picking one from these nine families to claim the magical plant for themselves would resolve all the problems. In terms of power, as Qiuer Te had brought his team to the Caimes a year earlier, his team was substantial! Apart from the security team of the Barren family, the security personnel of other families were barely worth mentioning. In terms of influence, there was no family more prestigious in the Sis Empire than the Roseld Royal Family! Who dared to oppose the Royal Family! As long as the Royal Family commanded, the other families would surely obey, no matter how many other ideas they had to suppress. Therefore, Qiuer Te was not at all worried about these families refusing to hand over the magical plants, only thinking about how to terminate the contract with Miss Barren, Amelia. After all, the penalty for breach of contract was too expensive... However, Amelia was not someone to be trifled with, and Qiuer Te needed to be persuasive. Thus, Qiuer Te didn't wait for Amelia's response, and continued on by himself: "Miss Barren, the relationship between you and the Roseld Royal Family is good after all, as the Royal Family has taken good care of the Barren family before." "Therefore, some things should not be taken too seriously, after all, there is no loss." Hearing these shameless words, Ifia didn't know what Amelia was thinking, but she was furious. Qiuer Te was truly insufferable. Every time she heard him speak, Ifia couldn't help but want to punch someone!!! Perhaps pretending to be weak and regretful now would earn some sympathy, making him want to terminate the bidding contract and avoid responsibility. Who let Qiuer Te spend a fortune at the auction without any reservations! But regret now? Too late! Just as Ifia angrily raised her small fist, waving it towards Qiuer Te standing downstairs in the void, wishing she could just go down and beat him, but then she realized that she couldn't win. () Qiuer Te was at least a guard. Armed with strength. However, Ifia's eyes turned, and suddenly she remembered that not being able to win didn't mean that Amelia couldn't! Amelia wasn't even afraid of special creatures, so why would she fear a mere guard like Qiuer Te! Hehe, it feels really good to have someone to rely on! "No loss? Amelia, sitting on the sofa, had not looked at him properly all this time. Now, she lazily lifted her eyelids, a pair of deep purple eyes gazing at him, making Qiuer Te feel a chill running down his spine, as if he was being stared at by something terrifying. However, Qiuer Te was not just an empty vessel; he still had some real ability. Therefore, he quickly shook off the feeling of fear, and now employed the strategy of showing respect first, then using force, not believing that Miss Baron, Amelia, would not accept! Thinking of the authority of the Roseld Royal Family, Qiuer Te raised his chest and head high. The fear induced by the stern gaze also dissipated. Qiuer Te showed his true intentions, staring intently at Miss Barren, Amelia, waiting for her answer. In response, Amelia remained nonchalant, her mouth suddenly curling upwards. Amelia placed the cup of coffee in her hand on the low table in front of her with a 'clunk.' When Qiuer Te's gaze shifted to her, Amelia continued to speak. "For the Roseld Royal Family, it indeed incurs no loss, but cancelling the bidding contract causes a loss of 85 million gold coins for me. Do I look like someone who would do charity work for free?" After speaking, Amelia's expression was somewhat enigmatic, directly shattering Qiuer Te's plan: "After canceling the bidding contract, you want to forcibly take over the magical plants of other families." "After all, a total of ten magical plants were auctioned, and you probably think that these families wouldn't dare to confront the Roseld Royal Family, so they will willingly hand over the magical plants." "You have that idea, which is not wrong, but I have already arranged for the security guards of those nine families to leave the Caimes and return to the Dalva City beforehand." At this point, Amelia looked at Qiuer Te's gradually darkening face and raised an eyebrow. She hadn't finished explaining, though! "As for you, don't think that I will let you leave! Rest assured, the communication between you and the Roseld Royal Family will no longer exist, and the restriction on you and your team will not be lifted until those families have used the magical plants." "Oh, by the way, regarding the bidding contract, I will also send it to the Roseld Royal Family in advance. In the situation of information blockade in the Caimes, when they see other families already have magical plants, will the Royal Family willingly spend 85 million gold coins to buy a magical plant!" These words successfully shattered Qiuer Te's flimsy hope. He felt everything go dark. Repeatedly chanting "it's over, it's over…" Just at that moment, Amelia seemed to sense something, looked up towards the direction of the stairs. There, Ifia was smiling with curved eyes, a wide grin on her face, clapping lightly with her hands clasped in front of her chest.
