Book 2: Chapter 34: The Importance of Good Teammates (3)
The sudden movement of the fairy elf quieted the originally noisy venue. Everyone was watching the auctioneerâs next move. After all, it was only a short while ago that a slave had committed suicide, if that were to happen again then the auctioneer will lose a lot of face.
âI donât want to be sold, please donât sell me, you can do anything you want, but donât sell me.â
The fairy elf suddenly knelt, begged, and pleaded with tears at the clownâs feet, but the more she begged the more the clownâs expression became a volcano about to erupt, and the anger he was accumulating could be felt from a distance.
âDonât sell me⦠Iâll be obedient, Iâll listen to you, but please donât sell meâ¦â
âSince you want to be obedient, then obediently go away.â The clownâs tone was as cold as a glacier.
âNo⦠I donât wanna⦠Sniffsâ¦â
The clown kicked the fairy elf right in the stomach, sending her flying away.
âDo you qualify to bargain with me?â
The fairy elf wrapped her arms around her stomach and curled up in the fetal position like a shrimp. Even so, she still whimpered and begged not to be sold.
âMy deepest apologies. I didnât train the auction property well enough. We will treat the injuries I caused just now for free, and guarantee a perfect product for our customers. We will also ⦠Ah !!!â
The clown bent over to apologize to Durango, but suddenly screamed and jumped up.
âAh!!! My ââ¢â¢!â
The clown quickly turned around and found that Carol was standing behind him with an angry look, holding a bloody knife in her hand.
At the same time, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in my heart, and instinctively told me, Young Lady Carol is⦠about to do something again!
âWhy did you hit her!â
Sure enough, Carol had completely forgotten about her situation, and pointed a delicate finger at the clown and her shout split the crowd,
âWhy did you hit her!â
I donât know how powerful this clown is, but being in an important position like the auctioneer of this event implies that he is certainly strong and cunning, but Iâm afraid he didnât expect a slave to be bold enough to stab him with a knife thatâs not even finger length!
He was stabbed in the ââ¢â¢ right in front of so many people. Compared with the physical pain of the act, Iâm afraid that the shame is even more traumatic.
Now the clown⦠is going to want to kill Carol, I supposeâ¦
âDo you not know where you are?â
âYou may be in control of my position, however you are wrong.â
âHehe ⦠even the merchandise regarded as dregs dares to argue what is right or wrong ⦠It seems you are tired of living!â
A terrible killing intent filled the entire venue, and the clownâs body glowed with Battle-Qi. Considering the strength of his Battle-Qi, Iâm afraid that the clown seems to be incredibly powerful even amongst High-Ranking Warriors.
However, Carol was still true to herself even amidst such terrible momentum, âHurry up and apologize!â
âYou â¦â Seeing Carolâs earnest expression, the clown became a little skeptical, and stopped in place to consider his next move.
The clown lowered his head and began to think, and seemed to consider Carolâs energy, but how could he have possibly known that the reason she wasnât scared was merely because she had thick nerves and nothing more.
After a while, the clown looked up and asked, âI heard that you took the initiative to enter the auction house, is that true?â
âYes,â Carol replied bluntly.
âDamn!â I was beginning to think that things were becoming bad. With Carolâs IQ, Iâm afraid the clown might really ask something.
âYou⦠you got a problem with that?â Seeing the clownâs gaze constantly turning on herself, Carol unconsciously stepped back.
âNo one in the world, especially not a young girl, would ask to enter the auction unlessâ¦â The clown took two steps forward, âYou entered with a purpose in mind.â
âHaha â¦how⦠how couldâ¦â
Wow, Miss Carol, your guilty answer will only make people more skeptical!!
No, you canât let the clown ask any more questions, otherwise Carol might give everything away.
âYou go and stop the clown from asking anymore questions, hurry up.â
âWhy?â Suddenly, Durango scratched his head and asked me, âWhy should I do that?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâll cut the interest in half.â
âDeal!â
âWell⦠that,â Durango stood up and spoke to the clown, âCan we continue the auction, my time is precious.â
âGuests, please forgive me, we have very important things to do now, please wait a moment.â
Damn, itâs totally useless.
âWell, you are certainly fearlessâ¦â the clown turned his head again and continued to ask, âis it perhapsâ¦â
âQuick Quick Quick! Hurry up and stop him!â (Lilith)
âWell⦠then let go of me firstâ¦â (Durango)
âYeahâ¦â Because it was so urgent I didnât realize I had been grabbing Durangoâs collar.
âHow the hell do you want me to stop them?â (Durango)
âRush down there and punch the clown.â (Lilith)
âI canât, big sis, Iâm already terrified now that Iâve offended a duke, if I also go and assault the auctioneer I really will die!â (Durango)
âYou canâ¦â (Lilith)
âBecause you have an accomplice?â (Clown)
Damn, is it too late? It seems that we can only believe in Carol now, I hope she wonât be so retarded.
âYou ⦠how do you know â¦â
God dammit, Carol! Itâs fine if you give up that youâre in disguise, but donât keep glancing at me while youâre revealing your identity!
Sure enough, the clown followed Carolâs gaze.
Calm down. Either way, he only knows a general direction and shouldnât be able to accurately locate me.
âCatch that blonde loli in the fox mask over there.â
How did you guess it was me!!!
A few men in black suddenly jumped out of the shadows and held a knife directly on my neck.
âWhy are you catching me?â
Even if I die, I have to know the reason.
âBecause you are her companion.â
âWhy do you say that?â
The clown said unhurriedly, âOne strange thing happening may be chance, but if two strange things happen at the same time, itâs no coincidence.
I have been an auctioneer at the auction house for more than 30 years and I have never seen a young girl like you come to one before.
Then, the only conclusion is that youâre the one who is playing house with this slave. In short, youâre just another kid who is brainwashed by stories of justice.â
Itâs⦠such an unpleasant answer, but I also know that the clown is just guessing, and he has no absolute evidence.
That being the case, I might be able to struggle a bit.
âHe he he heâ¦â
âWhy are you laughing?â
âIâm laughing at your poor eyes,â I stood on a chair, puffed out my chest, and said, âcanât you see that Iâm an adult?â
ââ¦â¦â As soon as I said that, I felt that the entire auction house went silent.
âApologies, I donât see any characteristics that an adult should have on you.â
âHmph! If you donât believe me, ask Durango, the son of Count Aneva, you should believe what he says.â
âIs she an adult, guest?â
âYâ¦yeahâ¦â
With Durangoâs affirmative answer, the clown couldnât help but start to doubt his previous conjecture.
Hmph, youâre still too inexperienced to have a battle of wits with this princess.
Just then, the clown suddenly turned around and asked Carol, âIs she actually your companion?â
âHahaha, you are a joker, how could Lilith be my companion â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
CAROL!!!
You⦠freaking⦠IDIOOOOOT!!!!!!
