[Vol. 4] Chapter 101: Displaying Weakness
Jogging cheerfully in search of Amelia, Ifia quickly halted upon seeing Kurt at the door.
Ifia, displeased, stood in place, prepared to hear what Kurt wanted this time he came knocking.
Amelia should just kick him out directly.
Out of sight, out of mind!
With these thoughts in mind, Ifia crouched at the staircase, peeking down at the living room below, carefully observing the unfolding situation.
Unlike the last time Kurt arrogantly entered, he now appeared pale and weary, resembling a defeated rooster lacking in spirit.
However, even if he tried to conceal it on the surface, his tightly pursed lips and the occasional glimpse of malice in his eyes proved his discontent. Now, he was just deliberately showing weakness like a deer.
Unlike Kurt, who stood stiffly, Amelia sat in the center of the sofa opposite him, holding a coffee cup with a calm expression. She occasionally lifted it for a sip, appearing relaxed and indifferent, as if she didn’t notice a live person standing in front of her.
She completely ignored Kurt.
“Miss Barlen, considering I helped announce the auction, please cancel the bidding contract signed with the Rosward Royal Family! The price of 85 million gold coins is too high!”
Although Kurt signed the successful bidding contract, due to representing the Rosward Royal Family, the contract had officially taken effect. Even if the Rosward Royal Family denied it upon returning to Darwa City, the contract could not be denied.
If evidence cannot be produced, Kurt’s actions and signature in participating in the auction in the Camus Territory remain valid. It was precisely because of this that, after Kurt was carried away unconscious and woke up with much difficulty, he immediately thought of this point.
He couldn’t care less about anything else and hurriedly visited Amelia Barlen. The bidding contract must be canceled! As long as Amelia Barlen agrees, there’s no need to spend money in vain.
As for what to do after canceling the bidding contract and not completing the task assigned by the royal family, it’s easily resolved.
The auction introduced ten magical plants as bidding items, and besides the first one that he bid high for, there are still nine magical plants that were successfully bid on by other families.
As long as one is chosen from these nine families, claiming the magical plant as his own, all problems will be easily solved.
In terms of military strength, Kurt brought a sizable team to Camus a year earlier!
Besides the Barlen family’s guard unit, the guards of other families are not worth mentioning. In terms of influence, there is no family in the Sith Empire more prestigious than the Rosward Royal Family!
Who would dare to challenge the royal family!
As long as the royal family gives the order, other families will surely obediently comply, no matter how many ideas they have, they have to keep them to themselves.
Therefore, Kurt is not worried at all about these families refusing to hand over the magical plants, he only thinks about how to terminate the contract with Amelia Barlen. After all, the penalty for breach of contract is too expensive…
However, Amelia Barlen was not one to be underestimated, and convincing her requires taking drastic measures.
So, without waiting for Amelia Barlen’s response, Kurt continued on his own: “Miss Barlen has a good relationship with the Rosward Royal Family, after all, the royal family has taken good care of the Barlen family before.”
“Therefore, some things shouldn’t be taken too seriously. After all, there’s nothing to lose.”
Upon hearing these shameless words, Ifia didn’t know what Amelia Barlen was thinking, but she was definitely enraged. Indeed, Kurt is such an annoying guy. Every time he speaks, Ifia can’t help but want to punch him!
Perhaps pretending to be weak and remorseful now is an attempt to gain sympathy, trying to cancel the bidding contract and avoid responsibility.
After all, who allowed Kurt to throw away a fortune at the auction without any hesitation!
But regretting it now?
Too late!
Just as Ifia angrily raised her small fist, ready to unleash it at Kurt standing downstairs, she wished she could just go down and give him a good beating. However, she quickly realized she couldn’t win in a fight.
(•̀⤙•́)
After all, Kurt was at least a guard with combat skills. But Ifia suddenly thought that just because she couldn’t beat him didn’t mean Amelia Barlen couldn’t!
Amelia wasn’t afraid of even special creatures, so why would she fear Kurt, a mere guard!
Hehehe. It feels so good to be on the winning side!
“What’s there to lose?”
Amelia, sitting on the sofa, had not bothered to give anyone a proper look. Now, she lazily lifted her eyelids, and her deep purple eyes stared straight ahead. This made Kurt feel a chill down his spine, as if something terrifying was eyeing him.
However, Kurt wasn’t just an empty talker, he had some real skills. So, he quickly shook off the fear and, having played the courtesy card, now confidently believed that Amelia Barlen would accept their terms!
Thinking about the power of the Rosward Royal Family, Kurt immediately straightened his chest and lifted his head. The fear that had been staring him down also dissipated. Kurt didn’t continue with his pretense. Instead, he revealed his true colors, gazing intently at Amelia Barlen, awaiting her response.
In response, Amelia remained unfazed, and her lips suddenly curled up. She casually placed the coffee cup in her hand on the low table in front of her. With a “thud,” when Kurt’s gaze turned towards her, Amelia continued to speak.
“While it’s true that I won’t get any losses with the Rosward Royal Family, canceling the bidding contract has cost me 85 million gold coins. Do I look like someone who would engage in charity work for free?”
After saying this, Amelia’s expression seemed to be a half-smile as she directly exposed Kurt’s plan.
“After canceling the bidding contract, you intend to forcibly take over the magical plants from other families. After all, the auction sold a total of ten magical plants. You think these families wouldn’t dare to confront the Rosward Royal Family, so they would willingly hand over the magical plants.”
“Your thinking is not entirely wrong, but I’ve already taken a step ahead and had the guards of those nine families leave Camus and return to Darwa City.”
At this point, Amelia looked at Kurt’s gradually darkening face and raised an eyebrow. With his level of acceptance, she hadn’t even finished speaking!
“As for you, you don’t think I’ll let you leave, do you? Rest assured, you will no longer be able to communicate with the Rosward family until those families have used the magical plants. Only then will the ban on your leaving be lifted.”
“Oh, and about the bidding contract, I will also deliver it to the Rosward Royal Family in advance… Guess, with the news blockade in Camus, seeing other families with magical plants, will the royal family willingly spend 85 million gold coins to buy a magical plant!”
Her words successfully shattered Kurt’s last glimmer of hope. He felt his vision darken, and in his mind, he kept repeating ‘It’s over, it’s over, it’s over.’
Just at that moment, Amelia seemed to sense something and looked up towards the staircase.
There, Ifia was smiling with her eyes squinted, her mouth forming a wide grin, and she was lightly clapping her hands in a small rhythm.
