[Volume 4]: Chapter 95 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

The second magic plant suddenly appeared, immediately causing a sensation throughout the venue. The people sitting below stared in disbelief as they looked at the glass boxes placed on the stage, which were uncovered, revealing the crazily writhing and striking magic plants inside. "Oh my god, is this the second magic plant?" "It can't be possible. No matter how powerful the Barren family is, they can't find two magic plants in such a short period of time!" "Could it be that the magic plant that was successfully auctioned earlier was brought up again?" "The Barren family wouldn't risk their reputation by playing tricks. Since they brought out another magic plant, it must be genuine. Maybe they were just lucky to obtain two magic plants!" After the shock subsided, people immediately began to discuss, each with their own thoughts. Meanwhile, Qiuer Te, who had successfully bid in the auction, no longer seemed composed. At this moment, he stared intently at the magic plant in the glass box, his eyes flashing with anger. Compared to the other speculations, he felt deep down that it was definitely a ploy by the Barren family. Finding one magic plant in a short period of time was already incredibly lucky, how could there be a second one? Even with the protection of the Light God, it wouldn't be this fortunate! Despite the Barren family's influence, they couldn't afford to confront the royal family. There was a contract in place, and the successfully auctioned magic plant would definitely be handed over to the royal family of Roseld. As long as Qiuer Te delivered the auction contract to the royal city, he would have fulfilled the royal family's task. However, Qiuer Te had no favorable impression of Baron Amelia. Instead, he was filled with malice. Now that he had the opportunity to undermine Baron Amelia, his eyes gleamed with excitement, and his hands clenched into fists, almost wanting to stand up and shout out to expose the Barren family's conspiracy right then and there. But the guards present were not to be trifled with! Yet, Qiuer Te restrained himself and ultimately did not act recklessly. He had been deceived once before. He absolutely couldn't afford to be reckless this time. After all, Baron Amelia wasn't a fool, it was impossible for her to commit such an obvious blunder. By producing the 'second magic plant, they clearly had confidence, but what they were really up to remained a mystery... "Everyone, please be quiet. As you can see, the second auction item is also a magic plant." The discussion in the audience didn't change the expression of Captain Fuerman, who continued to speak calmly. After finishing, she immediately gestured to a nearby team member. Subsequently, two members of the Barren family's guard quickly stepped forward and retrieved two glass boxes from somewhere in the audience. The glass boxes were identical, but the magic plants inside them were different in shape and appearance. If there was only one magic plant displayed, people might have been skeptical and suspicious, thinking there was some kind of conspiracy. But with three plants now displayed, the previous chattering in the audience immediately ceased. Everyone was too shocked to utter a word. So many magic plants!!! Had the Barren family raided a magic plant's lair? They toiled in the Kamesha territory, searching for magic plants in the snow every day, enduring extreme cold and risking blindness, yet they hadn't been lucky enough to find even one magic plant. Unexpectedly, this auction was able to produce three! No wonder the first item was a magic plant. They really had a lot of stock! Suddenly, as if realizing something, many people turned to look at Qiuer Te's position, wondering what the individual who had spent 85 million gold coins to successfully bid for the item was thinking now. If there was only one magic plant, it would have been worth it no matter how much money was spent. But now, two additional plants had appeared. Despite maintaining a strained smile on his face, Qiuer Te was unable to contain his anger at being deceived, almost wanting to draw his sword and confront the Barren family directly! He had been tricked from the beginning! From his visit to the auction, to his furious bidding, it was all a ploy by Baron Amelia! If he had known there would be three magic plants on auction, he definitely wouldn't have bid for the first one. Scarce commodities are valuable. Even though finding magic plants in the Kamesha territory was not easy, with three appearing in this auction, the price would definitely drop. Furthermore, successfully auctioned items couldn't be easily canceled; doing so would entail compensation according to the breach of contract rules. He would have to pay half of the 85 million gold coins! Even though Qiuer Te wanted to cancel the auction contract, the financial loss would be even greater, making it completely impractical. Thus, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept the situation. The Baron family was indeed sly and cunning! At this moment, Qiuer Te no longer anticipated praise and rewards from the royal family of Roseld. He might be heavily reprimanded for mishandling matters, or even expelled. After all, the substantial financial loss was his fault. Now, he could only hope that the remaining two magic plants would fetch higher prices at the auction. Only then could he mitigate his mistake and minimize the royal family's loss. Seemingly sensing Qiuer Te's inner thoughts, Captain Fuerman continued to speak at this point, but her words threw everyone off once again, dropping another bombshell. "Today's auction features a total of ten items, each of which is the same, all precious magic plants of various forms!" She quickly added, "However, due to space limitations, we can't display all the magic plants at once, so they will be shown one by one." "Now, the second item is officially up for auction, starting at a price of ten million gold coins, with increments of no less than one million gold coins!" Once again, she was clear and decisive without any hesitation. After Fuerman announced the start of the auction for the second item, those who had regretted missing out on the first magic plant due to Qiuer Te's successful bid were now excitedly participating in the bidding once more. Although they might not be as wealthy as the royal family of Roseld, there was no way each of the magic plants would be priced at 85 million gold coins! This was ten magic plants after all!!! They couldn't have dreamt of obtaining ten magic plants; the fact that the Barren family had gathered so many was unfathomable. No, it was Baron Amelia who was too powerful. She arrived in Kamesha and had extraordinary luck. After all, before Baron Amelia came to Kamesha, they had not heard of the Barren family's guard finding any magic plants. Just by observing the guard's vigilance in Kamesha town every day, it was clear that they hadn't had time to search for magic plants. "I bid fifteen million!" "Just five million? That's too stingy, I bid twenty million!" "Twenty-two million!" The auction proceeded fervently, the intense bidding creating a lively atmosphere, which perfectly masked the sound of a heavy object falling. As well as the exclamations of a few people. "Qiuer Te has collapsed and is bleeding!!!"
