A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 93
[Vol. 3] Chapter 93: Too Much!
Regarding the request made by the Xero fleet, the people present had anticipated it, so they didn’t find it surprising. After all, it would be foolish to gain trust with just a few words.
“Well then, let’s go,” Amelia said. Initially, she wasn’t swayed by the conditions set by the Xero fleet, but what made her change her mind was Ifia’s mention of something that intrigued the demon’s heart – liking the eyes of demons.
When Ifia’s fragmented soul repair was successful, and she no longer feared the rules of the world, Amelia looked forward to letting Ifia see enough. She was very much looking forward to meeting Ifia as a true demon.
“Amelia, I also want to go with you to broaden my horizons.”
After the trade between the two parties was confirmed, Captain Kosev immediately began selecting accompanying personnel. At this moment, Ifia reached out and gently pulled on Amelia’s clothes, wearing a pleasing smile on her face.
With her wide eyes sparkling, she was trying to bypass the crowd and take a shortcut. She was almost being downright naughty and rolling around on the ground. However, it wasn’t to that extent. After all, Amelia never refused Ifia’s requests!
Now was no different. Amelia nodded directly and agreed to let Ifia join the team. This made Jessica, who was nearby, extremely envious, but she also knew she wasn’t like Ifia. She could boldly join in and watch the excitement. Even though she could get a bit of attention from Miss Barlen because of her friendship with Ifia, Jessica wasn’t so shameless.
So she chose to stay behind, waiting for Ifia to return and then hear what happened.
*Sigh!*
Looking at how Miss Barlen treated Ifia, Jessica couldn’t help but think about how Austin would only tease her. They really couldn’t be compared!
Just as Jessica felt the sudden urge to beat up Austin in her heart, Captain Kosev finished checking the number of people and confirmed that there didn’t need to be too many personnel for this negotiation with the Xero fleet.
Bringing five or six people would be sufficient.
Considering Miss Barlen’s exceptional abilities, there was no need to arrange for additional bodyguards in the team.
As for negotiations, people from the Barlen family seemed to be born experts in such matters.
Therefore, it was enough to just bring a few people to make a show of it. There was no need to arrange for others.
Because he wasn’t interested in Xero blood diamonds and deeply disliked the rudeness of the Xero fleet, Captain Kosev didn’t plan to join in just for the sake of it.
He would rather stay here and wait for Miss Barlen and the others to return!
It seems that young people nowadays are all filled with strong exploratory desires! Captain Kosev glanced at the eager Ifia and then at Jessica, who was full of envy. He couldn’t help but think that as an old-timer, he preferred to play it safe. If he had the choice, he would have set sail long ago…
After confirming the accompanying personnel, they immediately took action. Led by the messenger who had been running back and forth, Amelia and Ifia followed behind, while the others trailed at the rear. The group left the Imperial fleet of the Sith Empire and boarded a small boat before transferring to the Xero fleet’s ship.
During the journey, they encountered no accidents and successfully completed the meeting between the two parties. The Xero fleet’s ships didn’t seem very sturdy, and they had a sense of being worn out. When Ifia stepped onto the deck, she even distinctly heard a creaking sound. She was afraid that the planks might suddenly break and she would fall through…
Fortunately, Ifia’s worries didn’t come true. Although the deck was worn out, it was still sturdy. However, the creaking sound along the way was quite annoying.
Upon meeting the people from Xero, Ifia noticed that their skin color was even darker than the people from the Taric Kingdom. Their facial features were also distinct, with protruding foreheads, low nose bridges, and thick lips.
Ifia, with her inherent charm, chose to glance down at the wooden planks or cast a sidelong glance at Amelia’s fair complexion and lovely face. After all, her Amelia was the most beautiful!
The accompanying crew members also saw the people from Xero for the first time. They looked at them with curiosity, but Amelia remained composed, listening to Captain of the Xero fleet speaking.
“Esteemed guests, welcome, welcome. I am Captain Checola.”
“Hello, I am Amelia Barlen.”
Amelia’s self-introduction was very brief, just stating her name. However, the inclusion of the word “Barlen” immediately signaled her importance to the Xero fleet’s crew. Because of Duke Barlen’s dedication to developing new trade routes, other countries trading with the Sith Empire might not know the Sith Empire’s royal family, but they could not be unaware of the Barlen family.
Hence, the significance of the name “Barlen” was evident! Consequently, Captain Checola’s attitude visibly became more respectful at the speed of light, with a smile on his face as he continued speaking.
“Miss Barlen, your presence is truly a pleasant surprise. This is a small token of appreciation.”
After speaking, Captain Checola lifted his hand with a smile, and someone immediately brought a small black wooden box about the size of a palm. Then, to demonstrate goodwill, Captain Checola opened the wooden box directly.
Inside, there was a smooth black fabric lining, with a dazzling red diamond placed in the center, shining like fresh blood.
The gift upon meeting was actually a Xero Blood Diamond. They really spared no expense! Ifia, who was born into wealth in her past life, had seen many red diamonds at auctions. However, a diamond as dazzling and blinding as the one before her was truly rare.
Especially under the sunlight, the Xero Blood Diamond seemed to have a sense of flowing blood, making it impossible to look away. No wonder it was highly revered, it truly was a top-quality diamond!
After seeing the Xero Blood Diamond with her own eyes, Ifia couldn’t help but admire its beauty. But apart from that, there was nothing else. Earlier, listening to Jessica talk about the Xero Blood Diamond being called the Eye of the Demon had filled Ifia with anticipation.
However, now that she had seen it, she found it rather bland. There was a faint voice in her heart saying that real Eyes of the Demon were more beautiful. They were the kind of beauty that could make one fall just by looking at them.
“Captain Checola, thank you for your kindness. Regarding the fleet seeking assistance, due to the considerable distance between the two countries, the Sith Empire fleet will only escort for a certain distance, with the specifics to be negotiated by the Xero fleet.”
Amelia didn’t immediately accept, but instead, she bluntly stated her terms upfront.
Captain Checola nodded in understanding. He hadn’t expected to escort them all the way back home anyway. As long as they could stop those things from continuing to pursue them and give them time to erase their traces, it would suffice. Otherwise, none of them would be able to escape!
With both sides in agreement, the negotiations proceeded smoothly. However, the subsequent discussions became rather boring, leaving Ifia uninterested in continuing to listen. It was not entertaining at all.
She felt lonely.
Disappointed with the Xero Blood Diamond, Ifia lost her motivation, and her attention began to wander. Bored, she looked around and suddenly noticed something strange.
The ships of the Xero fleet were quite dilapidated, so she could understand if there were holes in the deck.
However, the appearance of marks resembling bear claws was excessive!
Did the Xero fleet have to bring a bear along while sailing on the sea?
