[Volume 4]: Chapter 93 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Upon seeing Qiuer Te's offer, Ifia couldn't help but snort. She had thought that this guy would feel discouraged due to the embarrassment. Who would have guessed that he would jump up and down, offering a direct bidding price of 20 million gold coins, more actively than anyone else! Hmph! It's just because not many people know about his original plan. He's really shameless! While Ifia silently muttered these thoughts in her heart, Qiuer Te himself was completely oblivious. Even though the situation didn't develop as he had expected, seeing the magical plants right in front of him made Qiuer Te feel relieved. For more than a year, he had been searching for magical plants in the Kamesh territory with no success. As more and more people entered the Kamesh territory, even if the magical plants were hard to find, the increasing number of people made it difficult. If the guards returned to Dalva City with the magical plants, the royal family of Rosalde would likely soon hold him accountable. Or perhaps, someone else would be responsible for finding the magical plants. Whichever the case, it was not something Qiuer Te wanted to see. That's why he was determined to obtain the magical plants at the auction! Even if it involved many conflicts with Baron Amelia. Even if the magical plants were sold for a sky-high price, he was determined to acquire them! The Royal Family of Rosalde had abundant resources, so it should be easy for them to win the bid. Thinking like this, Qiur Te even had a sincere smile on his face as he competed with others. In the midst of the bidding, he didn't forget to chat with the people around him, "Miss Baron really has the guts. Even though she mentioned auctioning magical plants when she visited a few days ago, I didn't expect the first item to be a magical plant." His words revealed his familiarity with Baron Amelia. Surprisingly, just by looking at Qiuer Te's confident demeanor, many people were actually taken aback. They kept thinking that it was Qiuer Te who first brought up the auction. Only later did the news spread, letting more people know about it. It was because of this that Qiuer Te seemed extremely confident in obtaining the magical plants! After all, the initiator of this auction was Baron Amelia. She could give the magical plants to whoever she wanted, even if it involved some 'schemes.' For example, bidding with coins now and then giving him a discount once Qiuer Te won the bid. Besides, Qiuer Te represented the royal family, making him not someone to be easily offended. However, it was heard that Baron Amelia had a cold relationship with Prince Carloy and was not close to the royal family. Yet, she had unexpectedly become one of the candidates vying for the throne this year! So, when did she become so familiar with Qiuer Te? As these thoughts crossed their minds, some people felt that they had little chance of succeeding and decided to drop out of the bidding. There was no need to tag along for the fun when they had no chance of getting the magical plants. Of course, those who thought like this were few. Another group of people didn't fully believe Qiuer Te's words. After all, they had interacted with him before and knew who he really was. They knew he was the kind of person who always looked down on others and would never gain Miss Baron's attention. Even though the news about the auction did come from Qiuer Te, who knew if he had ulterior motives! Not only Qiuer Te but other teams were equally determined to obtain the magical plants, regardless of any 'schemes.' It wasn't every day that one had the opportunity to obtain magical plants with just coins. So, even though they laughed and joked, the speed of their bidding wasn't slow. "25 million!" "28 million!" "30 million!" "32 million!" The scene was extremely lively for a moment, with everyone trying to outbid one another. Upon hearing the bidding price exceed 30 million, Ifia, who had been mocking Qiuer Te, no longer paid attention to him. Instead, she eagerly turned to Amelia and exclaimed with her bright black eyes, "Amelia, the bid has reached 30 million!" "It's just the beginning." Compared to Ifia's excitement, Amelia's reaction was quite flat, as if it were to be expected. This made Ifia seem like a cheerful little rabbit, almost jumping with joy. Seeing this, Ifia cheerfully moved closer to Amelia, shaking her head and asking, "Amelia, who do you think will get this magical plant?" After speaking, as if remembering something, Ifia frowned and added, "Although I really want Qiuer Te to win, I noticed that after he made the bid, many people stopped bidding, as if they were scared of him!" Ifia couldn’t stand Qiuer Te more than anyone else in the audience, not just him, but also the Rosalde royal family! Therefore, she was delighted to empty the royal family's pockets. However, Ifia didn't want to take advantage of the royal family and hoped to empty even their last penny. Seemingly aware of Ifia's thoughts, Amelia smiled and took her hand, lightly touching her skin with her fingers, and gave a definitive answer, "This magical plant is reserved for Qiuer Te." "Based on the information provided by Fuerman, the Rosalde royal family dispatched Qiuer Te to the Kamesh territory a year prior to find the magical plants. However, during that time, he found nothing. It was only when guards sent by other families for the treasure legends found the magical plants that the royal family became anxious." Amelia treated Ifia with a lot of patience. Normally, she wouldn't even bother speaking a single word to anyone, but now, she was carefully explaining everything. "Therefore, Qiuer Te is determined to win the bid for the magical plants, and since he's not using his own money to bid, there's not much limitation on his bidding. As for the others not daring to compete with him, apart from the suppression by the Rosalde royal family, it's probably because others think that Qiuer Te and I have some sort of friendship." Upon hearing this, Ifia immediately widened her eyes in anger, her cheeks puffed up. That Qiuer Te was really shameless! Unable to achieve his purpose, he was now fishing for benefits for himself, being all thick-skinned! The more she thought about it, the angrier Ifia got. She wanted to slap Qiuer Te in the face and make him see the consequences! Seeing Ifia fuming, Amelia quickly tried to placate her, "It's all right. I have already prepared for how to deal with this. I've reached an agreement with several family guard teams to keep bidding." Ifia quietly looked at Amelia. At this point, she was no longer angry. Instead, she felt some sympathy for the other party. With the situation at hand, even if Qiuer Te sensed something was wrong, he wouldn't give up. It was only through gritted teeth that he would continue to bid. Even if the magical plants were sold for an exorbitant price, the Rosalde royal family would have to accept it in order to obtain them. Moreover, the most important thing was... there were ten magical plants up for auction this time. But the participants in the bidding, perhaps, believed there was only one magical plant. So, even if Qiuer Te won the first magical plant, before he could even feel happy, the bidding for the second magical plant would continue. It was imaginable that he would be fainted outright on the ground!
