Francisco's face slightly changed. What was the meaning of this? Did the Red Espiritual Net already know about their tricks?
"In that case, create a new account," Francisco said impatiently.
Luka had long forgotten his fear due to the panic in his heart. He had also thrived on the Red Espiritual Net, not much worse than Hector. After a while, he managed to obtain a new account.
As soon as he contacted the Red Espiritual Net staff to inquire about the situation, the staff on the other side said they were looking for him and then sent him a message almost identical to the one Hector received.
Francisco pushed him aside and questioned the staff himself, "Why was my account blocked? Why can the No. 1 Artificer Shop reopen? I've already submitted evidence. At the very least, you should give me a clear answer. Otherwise, I won't accept it. I lost 12 million in exchange for two useless artifacts. Who's responsible for my losses? I want an answer!"
"Sir, we have already contacted Ashe regarding your issue. Regarding the image evidence you submitted, Ashe has explained the situation and provided evidence to clear her name. Our decision is made based on a fair and reasonable assessment," the staff replied.
"What evidence?" Francisco asked, his face contorted with anger.
"The artifacts in the images you submitted are not the ones she sold, and she has raised an objection as well. If there was an issue with the artifacts, why did you wait several days to bring it up?" the staff explained.
"That's impossible. The artifacts in the pictures are genuine, and how can she prove that the ones we have are not her? I had someone else receive the package for me because I wasn't in the country at the time, so naturally, there was a delay," Francisco argued.
"Your explanation regarding the timing is acceptable, and we did consider the evidence you mentioned. We inquired with Ashe at the time, and Ashe provided evidence. It was based on that evidence that we made the correct decision," the staff explained.
Francisco clenched his teeth. "What evidence?"
"Didn't you notice? The artifacts Ashe sells each have a unique symbol on them," the staff sent several images to him. "This is evidence provided by other buyers, and indeed, every artifact has a symbol on it. Furthermore, we've also taken statements from the courier company's employee, who confirmed that the artifacts you received were different from what he saw. Do you have anything else to say?"
A sudden buzzing sound.
Francisco stared at the images the staff had sent him, his face turning pale, and his eyes bloodshot. He recognized them. Three of the four images were of the artifacts purchased by Samuel, and the very ones that had dealt him a devastating blow was turned out to be his best friend.
In a fit of rage, Francisco immediately called Samuel, momentarily forgetting that he had already severed ties with him.
"Young Master Francisco..." Luka cautiously watched him, given his furious state.
"Get lost!" Francisco's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious.
Luka dared not speak to him any further.
"Francisco?" Samuel saw Francisco calling him, and his surprised expression gradually faded as he observed Francisco's appearance. He probably understood the reason for Francisco's call.

[ I've noticed that whenever the No. 1 Artificer Shop is mentioned, it always leads to a major twist. ]
[ Haha, it seems like the No. 1 Artificer Shop might be cursed. Peerless_CucumberX and Hector couldn't shake it. ]
[ Sigh, we thought the No. 1 Artificer Shop was done for, but who could have guessed Hector's skills? But After several attempts, they couldn't take down this shop, and now, they've been taken down instead. It's embarrassing! ]
[ Upstairs, aren't you looking at this the wrong way? Ashe has cleared the suspicion and provided evidence. Does that not indicate that they have genuine skills? Were the artifacts they posted in the shop previously all as described? ]
[ Doesn't that mean we might have missed the chance to get some powerful artifacts for ourselves? ]
[ Missed opportunity +1. ]
[ Missed opportunity +2. ]
[ Is it even meaningful to praise Ashe like this? In my opinion, Ashe also has issues. People only complained about him a few days ago, and the Red Espiritual Net has already resolved it. If there's nothing fishy going on here, I absolutely don't believe it. Maybe Peerless_CucumberXs and Hector fell because of this. ]
[ Oh my, where did this idiot upstairs come from? Didn't you see that the evidence provided by the Red Espiritual Net is solid? And you're suspecting foul play? In my opinion, this is the best thing the Red Espiritual Net has done – uprooting the two pests, Peerless_CucumberXs and Hector. This is truly a heartwarming event! ]
[ Heartwarming +1. I complained about Hector for half a year, sending a complaint every day. Now, it's finally happening. Regardless of the reason, as long as Hector leaves, I'm satisfied. ]
...
The usually stagnant Red Espiritual Net suddenly became lively, and even those outside heard about it. This not only increased the Red Espiritual Net's popularity but also attracted more new users. It was like hitting three birds with one stone, and the management was delighted, generously raising the employees' salaries.
On the other hand, things were not as rosy for Francisco. His impulsive confrontation with Samuel, who had already been ignoring him, resulted in nothing but empty threats, and he left with his tail between his legs. However, his troubles were far from over.
Yannis, knowing about the incident, called both of them to his villa. As soon as they met, Francisco was kicked out without a word.
When Francisco got up, he felt a metallic taste in his throat.
"Who promised me a flawless plan without any problem?" Yannis removed his tie, his eyes filled with rage as he stared at Francisco.
Not even Luka, who wasn't under intense scrutiny, dared to let out a sigh of relief. He cowered, remaining silent, fearing that Yannis might notice him.
A sudden "bang" interrupted Luka's thoughts. Just as he started to have some peace of mind, a half-meter-tall vase struck him, causing blood to flow from his scalp.
"Two useless individuals who can't accomplish anything and have an abundance of failures. I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place," Yannis stared at them with cold eyes.
Francisco quickly crawled a couple of steps toward Yannis, his trembling lips betraying his fear. "Young Master Yannis, we made a miscalculation in this matter, but we didn't anticipate that the Red Espiritual Net would actually help Ashe and find the courier as a witness."
"Is that so? How come I heard that Ashe was able to clear his name thanks to your good friend Samuel?" Yannis sneered.
