"I didn't expect White Yasha to actually make a move."
At the edge of the crowd, Poetri Vi, who had been quietly watching this farce, looked at White Yasha with some emotion.
"Perseus will be severely hit this time, even if he doesn't die."
"Poetri Vi, did you notice anything?"
Beside Poetri Vi, Sarah frowned, a conflicted expression on her face.
"I feel like something isn't right."
"Both the leader of Perseus and the leader of Wu Ming seem a bit abnormal."
Poetri Vi glanced at Sarah: "Still too young."
Feeling something isn't right?
Does it even need to be felt? It's definitely not right.
Leaving aside the series of foolish actions before, just Luos's final defiance of White Yasha is enough to confirm that there's a problem.
Who is White Yasha?
One of Hakoniwa's oldest Spiritual Ranks, the White Night King, who was among Hakoniwa's top ten at her peak.
Even though she has sealed her Spiritual Rank now, she is still the strongest 階層支配者 .
One punch, one Demon Lord; her strength is beyond doubt.
Given her prestige and power, once she speaks, it signifies the definitive conclusion of the matter.
Under such circumstances, Luos still dared to defy White Yasha.
This is no longer just a lack of intelligence; his brain is completely broken.
"I wonder why White Yasha played favorites in the beginning."
Poetri Vi looked at Lin Que, who was currently chatting with Leticia on the auction stage.
There's no need to say much about who was behind Luos's misfortune; it was definitely this guy.
White Yasha must have seen this, which is why she initially gave Luos an out.
Unfortunately, Luos, whose brain was already broken, wouldn't take that out; instead, he chose to defy White Yasha.
Even for her own reputation, White Yasha couldn't give him another chance this time.
"Interesting, it seems this new leader of Wu Ming is quite a malicious character."
..
"Lin Que, aren't you going a bit too far?"
Backstage at the auction, Leticia, who knew the truth better than Poetri Vi, spoke up.
"There's no need to provoke that guy so much; a normal bid would have sufficed."
Angering Luos was a minor issue; getting White Yasha involved was the real trouble.
"Leticia, you can't just say things like that. I've always been bidding normally."
Lin Que raised an eyebrow, looking at White Yasha who had suddenly appeared not far away.
"The fair and just Lord White Yasha must have seen it too, right?"
"I was just making a normal bid; he was the one who proactively caused trouble."
"Whether Luos caused trouble, you know better than I do."
White Yasha narrowed her eyes at Lin Que: "The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Water you bought from me, it's very effective, isn't it?"
"Yeah, the effect is fantastic!"
Lin Que gave a thumbs up: "After I drank it, I literally didn't get out of bed for days."
"Hmph! You went too far this time!"
White Yasha ignored Lin Que's interruption: "Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
"Why do you seem so serious?"
Lin Que looked at White Yasha in confusion: "A mere Luos shouldn't be considered much in this Hakoniwa, should he?"
White Yasha pursed her lips: "Luos is naturally nothing, but the way you schemed against me makes me very unhappy."
"Oh~ So that's what you care about!"
Lin Que tapped his right hand with his left, making a gesture of sudden realization.
Quietly leaning next to White Yasha, he pointed at Leticia and negotiated in a low voice.
"How about I take ten photos of Leticia in a maid outfit for you later, and we call it even?"
"Hmph! What kind of person do you take me for!"
"You choose the clothes, just don't be too exaggerated."
"Hmm... let me think about it for a bit."
"Plus three photos of Black Rabbit, you also choose the outfits."
"Deal!"
White Yasha immediately smiled: "Considering our relationship, I'll let you off the hook this time."
"Remember, don't let there be a next time, or I won't let you off so easily."
Lin Que hesitated: "How about we discuss the reward for next time first?"
White Yasha: "?"
Could this kid's real intention be to fight her?
...
After stirring up a commotion, Lin Que naturally couldn't stay at the auction any longer.
To prevent further incidents, White Yasha decisively chose to kick them out, sending Lin Que and the already auctioned Leticia home.
As for the bill of up to 1,000,000 gold coins, she directly sent someone to the Halloween Queen's territory.
Walking out of the auction, Leticia couldn't help but feel a sense of daze as she looked at the familiar scenery outside.
Before this, she had already prepared herself to be auctioned off by others and never see her former companions again.
She never expected that in less than a month, everything would be reversed.
Silently turning her head, Leticia looked at Lin Que.
"Is this... a miracle?"
She remembered what White Yasha had told her a month ago.
The invitation letter that summoned Lin Que was imbued with the concept of 'miracle'.
"Miracle?"
Hearing Leticia's murmur, Lin Que looked over.
"Isn't this just a very simple matter? There's no need to elevate it to the level of a miracle, right?"
"For me, it's no different from a miracle."
Leticia smiled, then curiously asked: "Lin Que, what did you just say to Lord White Yasha?"
One moment she was furious, the next she suddenly started laughing; it was the first time she had seen White Yasha be so agreeable.
"Cough~ Just some simple exchange of benefits."
Lin Que coughed, and replied righteously: "As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
"White Yasha was angry because she lost face."
"As long as you give her enough benefits to help her regain face, she'll naturally calm down."
Leticia nodded thoughtfully: "I see."
Although she still felt something was a bit strange, it did make sense this way.
"Alright, don't worry about such things anymore."
Lin Que patted Leticia's little head, diverting her attention.
"Let's go back to No Name. Black Rabbit has been waiting for a long time."
"Mm."
