A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 91
[Vol. 4] Chapter 91: Invisible Slap
Today, everyone who could enter the auction was not an ordinary person. Each one was a member of various guard teams. Therefore, even if they had not seen magical plants before, they were not ignorant like ordinary people.
At that moment, watching the black plant writhe and slam inside the glass box, each face was full of shocked expressions.
They stared blankly, and for a moment, the whole scene became extremely quiet. Everyone’s attention was focused on the glass box.
After a while, after the shock subsided, people gradually returned to normal.
“Oh my god, it’s really a magical plant. I thought I was dreaming just now!”
“The magical plant is exactly as described in the information!”
“I never thought the Barlen family would actually bring out a magical plant. Unbelievable!”
“No wonder they started publicizing it so widely before the auction. I wonder what kind of sky-high price this magical plant can fetch!”
The silence in the auction hall did not last too long. Soon, people began to whisper. As more people spoke, the gathered crowd became noisy, like a bustling marketplace.
The Barlen family’s guard team responsible for maintaining order did not immediately stop them. After all, Miss Barlen had predicted the current development before revealing the magical plant, instructing them to temporarily ignore the commotion.
After all, the guards of various families were anxious and frustrated for not finding the magical plant earlier. Now, seeing the long-awaited magical plant before their eyes naturally excited them.
It wasn’t a good idea to forcefully stop them and make them quiet. Besides, there was no need to do so. What was happening then was an auction. The more intense the atmosphere, the smoother the auction would be.
Sometimes, influenced by the environment, people got carried away and might do irrational things, like engaging in bidding wars.
Therefore, for then, it was best to quietly observe and leave space for everyone’s excitement. However, it shouldn’t have taken too long. As the excitement in the crowd had not yet subsided, starting the auction directly could likely have resulted in a good price.
It was unknown whether the auction involved psychological tactics. The guards participating in the auction were excited, their faces turning red, and their eyes filled with longing as they gazed at the magical plant. They silently resolved to successfully bid for it!
They had spent a considerable amount of time searching in Camus, with little success.
Although some fortunate individuals had found magical plants, who knew if the next lucky person would be themselves?
The idea of gambling on this was better left alone.
Perhaps, staying in Camus for a lifetime without finding a magical plant would be too heartbreaking.
Anyway, participating in the bidding won’t cost them their own money, and they could quickly complete the mission and return to the royal city.
Why not have done it!
Of course, everyone present was a loyal servant of various families, knowing more or less about their family’s situation and how much money they could actually put forward.
So, when they were eagerly preparing to bid, they were also quickly calculating how much money their respective masters could afford.
Otherwise, randomly shouting bids during the auction and then not being able to produce the money would have been disastrous. After all, the Barlen family was not an easy target…
“Kurt, I didn’t expect what you said to be true. The Barlen family has indeed brought out a magical plant!”
“Yes, I was skeptical before. It’s really unbelievable.”
“Amelia Barlen mentioned the auction to Kurt in advance, presumably having great confidence in the Rosward royal family’s successful bidding!”
“You can’t say that. Everyone wants good things, and it’s each to their own abilities!”
While eagerly anticipating Amelia Barlen’s failure to produce the magical plant, unexpectedly, it turned out that Kurt was now the one becoming the subject of ridicule!
Especially the words spoken by the other guards around him felt like an invisible slap, relentlessly striking Kurt’s face.
Kurt’s face turned bright red, tightly biting his back molars, emitting a faint “click” sound. His eyes were filled with malicious intent, staring fixedly at the glass box on the stage, hands clenched into fists at his sides, loudly shouting in his mind that it was impossible!
Amelia Barlen of the Barlen family, that noble young lady, actually found a magical plant!
Kurt searched in Camus for over a year and didn’t even catch a glimpse of a magical plant.
Yet, Amelia Barlen, a mere noble heiress, had such incredible luck! Since Amelia Barlen had a magical plant in her possession and was preparing to auction it, why didn’t she reveal the news in advance? Instead, the news came from his side…
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Kurt realized something, widening his eyes. His frustration caused veins to bulge on his forehead, and he wished to draw his sword and duel right away.
Damn it!
After his visit, he fell into a trap deliberately set by Amelia Barlen. Everything was a deliberate scheme on her part, making him expend effort in vain for someone else’s benefit.
Ironically, he had been so proud before. It was because of his extravagant spending to publicize the auction that the Barlen family didn’t have to spend a single penny to spread the news about the auction, making everyone aware of it.
Time-saving, effort-saving, and money-saving.
Thinking about this, Kurt suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, almost spitting blood. However, due to his previous promotion of the auction, he couldn’t change his expression at this moment. Instead, he forced a smile and engaged in conversation with others, insincerely praising Amelia Barlen.
On the second floor of the auction venue, wearing the specially chosen “magical fabric” by Amelia, Ifia finally broke free from the plump Ifia. She raised her hand, gripping the railing and quickly found Kurt in the crowd below.
Seeing Kurt’s expression, which seemed like he had eaten a bitter melon, Ifia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Clearly, she had guessed that Kurt already knew he had been deceived.
Hahahahaha.
Serves him right!
Letting Kurt, this guy with a bad attitude, face the consequences of underestimating Amelia is like a slap in the face. Hehe, Kurt’s face must be hurting right now.
Due to the concealed location, others couldn’t see it, and Ifia didn’t care much about her appearance. Overwhelmed with joy, she laughed so heartily that, inadvertently, she crossed the railing and tumbled down.
Even though falling down wouldn’t result in death, it was still extremely embarrassing!
The humiliating scene was unimaginable. With these thoughts in mind, Ifia turned pale, and before her cries could be heard, a hand swiftly pulled her back.
Ifia didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Startled, she quickly turned, lifted her hand, and wrapped her arms around Amelia’s waist, burying herself in the warmth of her embrace, no longer daring to show off.
Seeing that Ifia was genuinely frightened, Amelia sighed.
Oh, this impulsive and restless little one!
To comfort the scared Ifia, Amelia refrained from scolding and instead lifted her hand to gently stroke her thick, black hair, taking the initiative to shift the focus.
“The auction for the first magical plant is about to start. Ifia, how much do you think it can be auctioned for?”
