[Vol. 4] Chapter 94: Striking It Rich
In the end, as expected, Kurt successfully bid for the magical plant.
The bidding price reached a staggering 85 million gold coins!
Just hearing this number made Ifia feel a bit dizzy. Subconsciously, she licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, and her black eyes shimmered with an expectant gleam.
The Rosward royal family is truly wealthy!
When Ifia looked at Amelia again, she couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips, causing two adorable dimples to quickly appear with her smile.
“Amelia, we really hit the jackpot this time!” said Ifia with such a sweet expression, like a spilled honey pot.
It was so delightful to look at that one, and people didn’t even need to taste it, just watching was sweet enough!
Amelia, who had been calm throughout, showed a change in demeanor. She couldn’t help but raise her hand and rub Ifia’s silky black hair.
She spoke solemnly, “Ifia, as my best friend, my money is your money.”
Once, Amelia wanted to give Ifia the family emblem, allowing her to spend money freely. However, the little money enthusiast unexpectedly refused.
Even though Ifia’s reluctance was obvious, she decisively declined. This left Amelia feeling somewhat helpless, thinking that the little one was overthinking things.
She just wanted Ifia not to be burdened, as no matter how much money, it was just numbers in her eyes. As long as she wanted wealth and treasures, with her abilities, Amelia could easily obtain them.
Therefore, spending money for Ifia was something Amelia willingly did.
However, Ifia consistently rejected her offers. Fortunately, after their journey in the Taric Kingdom, where they acquired a considerable amount of gold, Ifia finally escaped from poverty.
Amelia knew Ifia was a money enthusiast, but she was not greedy like others who were willing to do scheming things to get money. She didn’t keep money for herself. She always tried to give the best of her money to the people around her, especially Amelia.
Nowadays, she personally cooked using the best and most expensive ingredients from the Sith Empire.
“Amelia, please don’t say that. I don’t have the right…”
Listening to Amelia’s assurances, Ifia couldn’t help but raise her hand to her forehead, a shy expression quickly stopping the other’s words.
Such thoughts were best kept to oneself, saying them out loud would be too embarrassing. After all, they were just friends, and it wouldn’t go beyond that unless there were more intimate feelings involved.
Ifia secretly glanced at Amelia. Even after spending such a long time together, every time she earnestly observed Amelia’s face, Ifia would be momentarily mesmerized. Her beauty was truly the God’s masterpiece, with a charm so potent that it appealed to both men and women. Therefore, sometimes, Ifia would hesitate a little.
Listing Amelia’s merits – beautiful appearance, gentle personality, high status, wealth, intelligence, martial prowess, and considerate nature – made Ifia ponder her feelings for a moment.
It’s endless once I start talking about it!
Such a remarkable person, even just exchanging a few words with them can make one feel excited and thrilled. If the relationship becomes more intimate, I could have Amelia all to myself.
Labeling Amelia as exclusively mine would ward off anyone with ill intentions! Thinking about it this way, there are many benefits.
However, Ifia then thought… this was just wishful thinking on her part. If Amelia didn’t agree, wouldn’t they not even be able to remain friends? In that case, Amelia might become angry and distance herself, refusing to see Ifia again.
So, it’s probably better to maintain the current status. As friends, she could hug and play happily with Amelia every day. Therefore, being a stubborn king is one thing, but lacking the confidence to be upfront about it is another. Besides, why should she be the one to initiate it? Can’t Amelia confess first?
Ifia remembered a book she read from a female classmate in her past life. It clearly stated that in matters of love, the one who speaks first loses!
The more Ifia thought about it, the more it made sense. Even if she’s not as strong as Amelia, she still has a position to maintain.
She should firmly keep Amelia beneath her!
Unaware of Ifia’s thoughts wandering, Amelia, realizing she couldn’t convince Ifia to have the money, reluctantly gave up.
She then gently lifted Ifia’s chin with her hand, turning her gaze toward the auction scene. While the two were talking, Kurt, anxious, quickly signed a contract with the captain of the guard, Fern, selling the magical plant to the Rosward royal family for the price of 85 million gold coins.
With this contract, they could later exchange the magical plant in Darwa City – money in hand, goods delivered. As long as the contract existed, there was no need to worry about changes of heart.
After successfully signing the contract, everything was settled. Kurt put his heart at ease, swept away the previous frustration, and happily resumed sitting in his original spot.
He didn’t forget to talk with the people around him, “I apologize, but I’ve successfully acquired this magical plant. You can look forward to the upcoming auctions, perhaps there will be a second magical plant for bidding!”
While consoling the guards around him with words that contradicted his true feelings, Kurt, looking at their regretful expressions, couldn’t hide his smug satisfaction.
Originally, after successfully acquiring the magical plant, Kurt’s task was considered complete. He could leave the auction and prepare to return to Darwa City.
However, having faced setbacks and humiliation from Amelia Barlen, Kurt wasn’t feeling comfortable. Now that he finally had a chance to boast and show off, he wouldn’t let it slip away.
At this moment, basking in the envious and jealous gazes from the crowd, Kurt appeared as if he had consumed a bit too much alcohol – his complexion was flushed, and a brilliant smile adorned his lips. It was evident to everyone what Kurt was thinking.
Unable to contain their annoyance, the onlookers, suppressing the urge to roll their eyes, reluctantly nodded along.
“Well then, we’ll borrow your good words, Kurt.”
“It’s truly admirable that you completed the task shortly after arriving. You’ll be back in Darwa City in a few days, right? I also want to go back.”
“The Rosward royal family is indeed wealthy! They can easily produce over 80 million gold coins. They are really rich.”
“Hmph, in my opinion, despite the recent ups and downs of the Barlen family, they are no match for the Rosward royal family.”
Some of them couldn’t resist praising Kurt while subtly belittling others, and Kurt particularly enjoyed such compliments. Even if the auction was organized by Amelia Barlen, Kurt didn’t care. Gold coins could be earned again, but precious magical plants were hard to come by.
In Kurt’s view, no matter how capable Amelia Barlen were, they were just a woman with a shallow perspective. They only pursued short-term benefits and failed to realize that after successfully summoning a demon, powerful contracts could be forged.
In the future, the Rosward royal family could use the demon to take action against the Barlen family.
Even if Amelia Barlen were formidable, could they really defeat a demon? Hmph!
Don’t be fooled by the Barlen family’s significant income from auctioning magical plants, when they die, that money will eventually return to the hands of the Rosward royal family. Therefore, no matter how much the Barlen family got, it didn’t matter to Kurt.
Thinking happily about this, just as he was about to boast again, the captain of the guard, Fern, who had returned to the auction platform, suddenly raised her hand and picked up a not-so-small stone, smashing it on the table.
The crisp sound drew everyone’s attention, and they quickly looked towards Fern, forgetting what they were about to say.
The most precious magical plants had already been auctioned off, so what else could there be afterward?
Everyone present came for the magical plants and hadn’t considered buying anything else.
While people were discussing the situation, Fern calmly spoke up, “The first item is sold. Now, let’s begin the auction for the second item!”
With that, she unveiled something from behind, covered in a familiar red cloth.
After she lifted the red cloth, a glass box and a twisting magical plant inside immediately came into view.
