章 49: Do You Think I'M a Foolish? (Part 1)

[ 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.
