Kaki stood there with her head held high, waiting for Hera to come to her and thank her gratefully.
But the scene that she had imagined did not happen at all. The other four people looked at her as if they were looking at a fool.
Kaki uneasily ruffled the long hair beside her ear."Why are you looking at me like that? Is miss Hera too touched?"
Hera scoffed."I think you're used to being touched by yourself, aren't you?"
Kate frowned and reprimanded, "Kaki, Audrey has long since left the Davis family. You have no right to make Audrey give up her things."
"That's right. Audrey also needs to live. Instead, it's you, miss Kaki, who can't differentiate between right and wrong. You just..."
Under Kaki's furious gaze, Jill's voice became softer and softer. She swallowed the remaining few words into her stomach, unable to say them.
Kaki felt aggrieved."Kate, how can you say that about me? Isn't it for Miss Hera's sake? If Audrey has anything good on her, why don't I just give it to her directly?"
"Sure, " Audrey agreed crisply.
Hera immediately said nervously, "Audrey, what are you doing? I'm the first person to make a reservation with you!"
Audrey did not look at Hera. She looked at Kaki with a smile."I want to sell a bottle of level-20 potion to miss Hera. Since you want to pay so much, the level-10 potion was sold to the Lisi commercial building for 500, 000 gold coins. You can give me 2, 000, 000 gold coins for the level-20 potion.
"Seeing that we all have the blood of the Davis family flowing in our bodies, I've given you a discount. The Lisi commercial building can give me much more. They can even give me a free auction spot. You can just give me 2 million gold coins!"
Kate laughed when she heard that.
Hera understood Audrey's meaning and sat back upright with the demeanor of a lady."Then I'll thank miss Kaki in advance."
Instantly, Kaki felt as though she had been struck by lightning. She gritted her teeth as she looked at Audrey."What did you say? A level-20 potion? Why didn't you take it out earlier -"
"Take it out for what?" Audrey asked in return."Take it out and give it to the Davis Family?"
Audrey sneered. She had not said anything, but it had pierced through Kaki's heart.
"Miss Hera..." Kaki forced a smile.
"No, no, no. Let's not talk about this." Hera took a bite of the shortbread and rolled her eyes at Kaki."I want to buy something from Audrey, but you said you would give it to me because you didn't want me to buy it myself. Why? Are you unwilling to do so?"
"Then what are you talking about?"
Kaki thought to herself, "You didn't even tell me that you wanted to buy a level-20 potion!"
"Miss Hera, I think you've been deceived by Audrey. How could she have a level-20 potion in her possession? The most powerful alchemist in Spark City is Merci Kelda and he can't produce such a potion."
Kaki deliberately said sarcastically, "Who knows if Audrey is bluffing?"
Hera stared at Kaki without turning her eyes away until her gaze became flustered.
"Whether or not I'm bluffing is my business, " Audrey said unhurriedly."As for whether or not you want to buy it, Kaki, that's your business."
Kaki's heart was already riddled with holes.
Why does this woman want to go against me!?
She had completely forgotten that she was the one who had deliberately come to find trouble.
Hera lazily stretched her back."How is it, miss Kaki? Have you already considered buying it for me?"
The Davis family had lost a patriarch. Now that their strength had been greatly damaged, they simply did not have the strength to contend against the other families.
Kaki had no choice but to swallow her anger."Audrey, didn't you want to sell it to miss Hera for 200, 000 gold coins? Why did you sell it to me for 2 million gold coins?"
"Don't compare me to you." Hera was speechless."If you can't afford it, then don't talk big. Whether she sells it or not is Audrey's business. Whether you buy it or not is my business.
"Now that Miss Kaki insists on interfering, what can I do?"
"You!"
Kaki was so angry that she almost could not breathe.
Kate had never seen Kaki so aggressive before. He frowned and was extremely dissatisfied."Kaki, why do you always have such a prejudice against Audrey?"
What a joke.
What a joke!
Kaki wanted to throw her head back and laugh maniacally. She wanted to ask these people whether she was biased or they were biased.
She was clearly just being kind, but in the end, Kate wanted to blame her. Jill looked down on her, and Hera looked down on her as well.
The one who had gone the most overboard was still Audrey. She had actually toyed with her like she was a monkey!
Audrey was not going to stoop to her level. Since she had already promised Hera verbally, she would not take back her words.
"You'll definitely suffer retribution, Audrey!"
After saying that, she bolted out of the door. Kate wanted to rush out to chase after her, but he was stopped by Hera.
"What are you rushing out for? Are you going to drag Audrey to apologize to Kaki Later?"
Hera looked angry.
Even a careless person like Jill could tell that Kaki was filled with jealousy, but Kate could not tell anything.
"Aren't we on the same team? Why are we doing this..."
Kate was in a slightly awkward position. When Kaki had promised him that she would join the dragon slayer squad, she had already said that she would never quarrel with Audrey again.
Yet, such a thing had happened again.
