Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1897: Chapter 1897: Magic Apostle (18)

"Of course. When I help you, you thank me, that’s polite."

Chuzheng nodded seriously, her face stern.

Even if it’s not useful, listening doesn’t hurt anything! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Alright then." The young man let out a slight breath, as if somewhat helpless: "Thank you."

Chuzheng: "..."

The Good Person Card is so obedient?

Chuzheng cautiously sized up the person in front of her.

Although the young man smiled innocently, Chuzheng sensed hardly any goodwill; in those pale golden pupils, there always seemed to gleam a hint of malice.

"So then..." Sure enough, the young man drew out his words: "Why are you here?"

"..."

If I say I happened to be passing by, will you believe me?

Chuzheng thought the Good Person Card definitely wouldn’t believe it.

The young man smiled with bent eyebrows: "Intruding privately here will result in punishment."

Chuzheng: "..."

Can you speak properly?

Who the hell can stand your tone!

Chuzheng felt a bit agitated inside, but right now couldn’t do anything.

"Won’t you answer my question? If your answer satisfies me, I might consider letting you go."

If I say I’m here to find you, would you believe it?

Chuzheng maintained a stern face: "I helped you catch the dragon, can’t that count for something?"

The young man blinked: "Of course not. I already thanked you..." Suddenly, he smiled, and it felt like a stunning array of blossoms opened at once.

He said slowly, "Moreover, I can subdue them, and didn’t ask for your help."

Hey!

What’s this supposed to mean!

Afraid I’ve meddled too much?!

Is the card’s personality always so arrogant?

The bastard asked me to come, something was definitely going to happen afterward, if not for me, would you be standing here alright now?

With your weakling self, even blackened, aren’t you still a weakling?

If I’d known, I wouldn’t have intervened so soon!

Angry!

"You’re pretty impressive." Chuzheng, after grumbling internally, half-heartedly praised.

"Hmm, not bad." The young man was modest.

"..." Ha.

"So, can you answer why you’re here?" The young man paused: "Think carefully about your answer."

Chuzheng hesitated for just a second, then answered honestly: "Looking for you."

"Looking for me?" The young man curiously circled around her: "What for?"

The young man suddenly leaned closer, his face magnifying in Chuzheng’s pupils, allowing her to clearly see his long, dense lashes.

"Do you want to steal my dragon too?"

The young man stared intently at Chuzheng with his pale golden eyes, as if trying to discern the truth from her pupils.

Though he was still smiling, his brows and corners of his lips carried a subtle smile.

However, Chuzheng felt threatened, sensing the oppressive aura pouring from the young man’s presence.

Chuzheng stood unfazed, ignoring the pressure deliberately exuded by the young man, and replied with indifference, "I’m not interested in dragons."

He actually spoke of stealing dragons.

Who cares about that lousy dragon.

The young man stared at her for a few seconds, slowly straightening his body, reverting to the proud, pure, virtuous nobleman.

He softly uttered, with curiosity and meekness: "Then what are you looking for me for?"

To break your legs and lock you up!

Of course, that can’t be said.

Chuzheng could only fib casually: "To have a look at you."

"Look at me? What’s there to see?" freewebnoveℓ.com

Chuzheng was straightforward: "Don’t you think you look good?"

"..." The young man suddenly blushed, then immediately seemed angry: "Even if I’m good-looking, it’s not for you to see."

The young man seamlessly continued: "Entering someone’s territory without an invitation from the host is very impolite, so..."

The young man spun his eyes around: "I’ll punish you by making you clean my Colosseum."

Chuzheng: "..." Huh?

What’s the Good Person Card saying?

Why is she a bit confused?

The young man curled his lips, asking sweetly: "Do you have any objections?"

Chuzheng: "..."

I think you’re insane.

But I can’t say that.

"It’s decided then." The young man clasped his hands, placing them at his chest: "You must clean thoroughly, otherwise... I’ll kill you."

With the last word, the young man beamed radiantly, as if he hadn’t just uttered a threatening sentence.

Chuzheng: "..."

Chuzheng nearly lost her cool demeanor.

Can I just kill him now?

[Calm down, Miss. Just consider him an idiot needing your sympathy.] The King’s Account advised her.

[Miss, think about the repercussions if you rewind time, enduring his antics again, wouldn’t that anger you more? So let all this pass with the wind.]

[Should we just splurge to calm down?]

Chuzheng: Calm now.

[...] The King’s Account breathed a sigh of relief, finding it really hard.

-

After finishing, the young man quickly shifted his focus, excitedly saying to Wuno: "Let’s go check out my dragon."

He didn’t bother with Chuzheng anymore and left directly.

The man named Wuno cast a sympathetic glance at Chuzheng before following the young man.

Soon, the corridor was left only with Chuzheng.

Chuzheng was a bit dazed, why the sympathy?

No way!

Are they serious about just leaving her?

Weren’t they going to have her clean?

Chuzheng really didn’t want to clean any Colosseum; fighting would be more like it.

Helping him catch the dragon, but being told to clean the Colosseum in return, good deeds go unrewarded!

Chuzheng returned the way she came to the audience seats, encountering no obstacles along the way.

But she felt the Good Person Card wouldn’t let her go that easily... Why? Just intuition, don’t ask.

She just didn’t know, if she really left, how the Good Person Card would mess with her.

Forget it.

What’s there to fear from that weakling.

Let come what comes, ward off with what can ward off, if necessary, just break his legs and lock him up.

"Y-you’re back." Alice saw Chuzheng return, and her little face lost some tension: "N-nothing happened, right?"

A lot happened.

"No."

Alice checked Chuzheng’s expression, realizing she couldn’t ask anything, sensibly refrained from prying.

The event just reached the audience challenge phase.

Chuzheng watched as someone pushed out an iron cage, covered in red cloth, its contents unclear.

The cage was moved to the center, where a group of people worked together to hoist it mid-air using nearby apparatus.

The ground had been set with a Magic Array and some traps, radiating from the airborne cage.

The Auctioneer now played the role of host, approaching the cage.

With a wave of her magic wand, the red cloth slowly fell under the crowd’s gaze.

Inside the large iron cage was a small person.

The magic screen zoomed in to reveal a boy, adorned only in clean, simple white garments with no other decoration.

His face showed fear and despair, magnified on the magic screen.

The spectators were unfazed, even discussing quietly.

"Today’s rule is simple: rescue the bait successfully before the cage fully opens, and it’s a win. The reward rules remain the same, besides the promised prizes, the bait also belongs to the winner."
