Charlotte and Richard quietly helped Vincent tidy up his clothes and looked at each other helplessly.
Richard sighed expressionlessly, “It seems that we were worried for nothing. He is an expert who will not die even if his heart is pierced!”
Charlotte nodded. She said to Vincent with great interest, “I’ve been in the Wanderers Association for so many years, but I’ve never seen someone as interesting as you. If there’s a chance in the future, we must work together. I’m very curious about your ability!”
Vincent felt quite embarrassed. He wanted to treat Charlotte and Richard as his saviors and get to know them better but he did not expect them to care about him so much. They even tore open his clothes to examine his wound, revealing the permanent injury he had sustained during the battle with Gajero.
However, as things had already come to this, Vincent also felt moved by the frankness of Charlotte and Richard. Therefore, he answered truthfully, “To tell you the truth, I suffered a fatal injury previously. Now, I can only use special methods to suppress the injury on my body. Therefore, I am unable to use my full strength. Even if we could cooperate, you will not be able to see my full abilities! Although many are interested in my abilities, I have never met someone as frank as the two of you. Therefore, I am willing to be friends with the two of you. In the future, we can also take care of each other!”
Charlotte and Richard nodded together and agreed to Vincent’s suggestion without hesitation.
“The trouble you are currently in is quite special. Even the two of us can’t guarantee that we can help you solve it. However, if you need it, we can send you back to the Wanderers Association!” said Charlotte.
She turned to look at the dragon egg in Vincent’s hand at the same time. She was naturally referring to Randall’s invitation to Vincent.
The current dragon egg disturbance was known by everyone at the Inn.
No one dared to make an enemy of the Dragon Race. However, it seemed that Vincent had provoked Randall. Hence, the outcome will depend on Vincent’s luck.
Vincent shook his head indifferently and said, “You don’t have to worry about Randall’s matter. The dragon egg is still in my hands, so I’m not afraid of what Randall will do to me. It’s just that there are still some unknown creatures secretly eyeing me. I hope you can help me settle these small problems!”
Charlotte and Richard immediately turned their heads at the same time to look at the few black-robed men sitting silently in the corner of the auction hall.
After Vincent appeared, Adrian’s sudden attack, and Randall’s final move, everyone knew that this auction could no longer go on.
It was clear that those who did not take the initiative to leave at this time were not here for the auction. They must be here for Vincent and the dragon egg in his hands!
Charlotte immediately walked down the auction stage and stood in the corridor. She rolled up her sleeves gently, revealing her two dark green arms. She smiled and said, “Today, I will not pursue your identity, nor do I want to know why you are here. But before you obtain my permission, I hope that you do not leave your seats. Otherwise, you will become enemies with the Wanderers Association. You will bear the consequences!”
The few figures in the auction hall remained silent, and no one dared to stand up.
Richard then patted Vincent’s shoulder and said to him, “Well, you can leave at any time now. I wish you good luck!”
Vincent cupped his fists and bowed. He said in a deep voice, “Thank you for your help today. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely thank you!”
After saying goodbye to Charlotte and Richard, Vincent did not leave the auction immediately. Instead, he turned around and walked backstage.
Hans was hiding in the lounge backstage at that moment. He was sitting on the sofa with a face full of frustration and regret, writhing as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Vincent arrived at the lounge with a smile on his face. When he saw Hans, he immediately walked up and said, “I didn’t expect to disturb your auction today. I just hope that it didn’t bring more losses to the Star Race!”
Hans raised his head and looked at Vincent with burning anger. He gritted his teeth and said, “You still have the f*cking nerve to come see me? Today’s scene was all planned by you! You took advantage of my Star Race, took our treasures, and even cause Adrian to die in our Star Race’s territory. I will settle the score with you sooner or later!”
Vincent sat next to Hans with an innocent look on his face as he played with the dragon egg. He smiled and said, “You can’t say that. You were the one who invited me to participate in this auction. You were the one who asked me to use the dragon egg as collateral for an unlimited quota! Even if Randall finds out now, all my expenses here will be borne by him. There won’t be any losses for you. As for Adrian dying here, it’s not even worth mentioning. I think whether it’s the Moon Association or the Ghost Bug Race, they’re all insignificant in the eyes of the Star Race!”
When Hans heard this, he immediately took a deep breath to relieve the pain in his heart. He replied with an ugly expression, “The Ghost Bug Race and Moon Association are nothing in the eyes of the Star Race, but if they deliberately cause trouble, how am I supposed to deal with them then?”
When Vincent heard this, he suddenly raised his left hand and placed it on Hans’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “Why don’t I give you an idea? If you feel that it won’t help you, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything. You can seek revenge on me however you want in the future but if you think that my idea can help you solve your current problem, then forget about the previous grudges and let me rescue my friend upstairs. Of course, if you wish to thank me, you can also give me an auction item that you didn’t have time to auction. Just think of it as us preparing for the next cooperation!”
Hans sighed in compromise, “Go ahead!”
He could not think of any way to save himself so he might as well give it a try and see what bad ideas Vincent could come up with.
Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “Actually, the reason why Adrian was able to appear here today is obvious. The Moon Association simply can’t resist the temptation to invade the Inn. You can use this opportunity to send the news of Adrian’s death to the Moon Association and push all the responsibility onto me. This way, you can prove your innocence to the Moon Association and help them find a reasonable reason to invade the Inn. When that time comes, they won’t be able to thank you in time, so how could they seek revenge on you?”
Hans asked Vincent with a shocked expression, “You want me to betray the Inn?”
Vincent smiled mysteriously.. He sighed and said, “I just want to see if the three iron laws are strong enough to be binding!”
