"Sure enough, my hunch was right."
A smile appeared on Hei Yao's lips. He still remembered the greed displayed by everyone at the scene when he auctioned this product, as well as the gloomy face of the president of the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce.
Afterwards, he was complained about by the president of Yinlan Chamber of Commerce.
But those words were like the wind blowing gently in his ears.
As an auctioneer, Hei Yao doesn't care what the people present think.
All he had to do was to sell the auction items at a higher price and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing others fight over the goods under his sweet talk.
"It seems that you know that girl. Could it be that she is a debt of love you left behind? She looks exactly like me when I was young. You have quite a good eye."
Can't you have a bit of dignity? I've seen your portrait before. I don't know where you got the courage to say this.
Of course, Hei Yao couldn't say these words to Granny Pomegranate, otherwise, he would be beaten to pieces by his grandmother on the spot.
Therefore, Hei Yao could only patiently explain to Granny Pomegranate:
"Unfortunately, it's not. And I don't like the items I auctioned off."
"So that's how it is. That girl was a slave?" Granny Pomegranate quickly understood Hei Yao's subtext. "Because you sold her, she followed us. Is she here to seek revenge?"
"That's possible. However, I was just completing the task assigned to me by the Chamber of Commerce. I didn't expect that she would hold a grudge against me. Speaking of this woman, I recently heard about the cooperation between the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce and our Chamber of Commerce."
Granny Pomegranate became interested when she heard this. "Come to think of it, I did hear from the Chamber of Commerce that two people sneaked into the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce and rescued the slave they bought. Could that woman be..."
"That's right, Granny Pomegranate. This woman is here, which means that the person the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce is looking for is nearby."
"Well, this is a great opportunity to rise to prominence. As long as you can catch him, you will definitely be valued by the Chamber of Commerce." Granny Pomegranate smiled happily. "Don't worry, with Granny here, I will never let this opportunity slip away from you."
I've already said that it doesn't matter whether I'm valued or not, you old bones should just rest! As long as I can continue to host the auction, there's no problem.
Hei Yao did not say out loud what he really thought.
It has been a long time since Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce has had a slave of such high quality as Iyas.
If that woman is caught, the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce will not just hand her over to them. They will definitely hold a grand slave auction and sell the woman off again.
By that time, it will be his time to show his talents.
They were the ones who caught the woman and rescued her.
If he made the request himself, the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce would not refuse it, and he could host another grand auction.
"That's troublesome for grandma."
As soon as he finished speaking, Obsidian saw the woman's figure in the magic mirror approaching them quickly, and then she leaped and disappeared into the magic mirror.
The magic mirror used by Granny Pomegranate has a fixed perspective formed through the glass on the carriage.
If a figure within the mirror's viewing range suddenly disappears, it is necessary to search for the direction of the object's movement and adjust the magic-attached mirror.
In order to ensure the safety of herself and Obsidian, Granny Pomegranate used her magic to expand the range of her magic perception, and only then did she detect Ias who was too close.
Now Iyas was very close to their carriage, and Granny Pomegranate easily caught sight of Iyas' figure.
But just when Granny Pomegranate was about to point the magic mirror at Ias, her face changed, and she instantly dispelled the magic mirror and began to chant other magic.
An arrow flew through the air and hit the horse's buttocks. The horse let out a wail and ran away wildly.
Iyas stood on the roof and shot another arrow at the horse's heart. The galloping horse staggered and fell to the ground. Granny Pomegranate, who was chanting magic, also fell with the overturned carriage.
Fortunately, Hei Yao reacted in time and used his arm as a cushion for Granny Pomegranate, thus preventing Granny Pomegranate from being knocked to the ground.
"Damn it. That woman actually launched an attack on the street. She's really crazy!"
Granny Pomegranate used a crutch to support her body and barely stood up. Then, within her perception range, several arrows flew over and nailed the groom and the accompanying servants to the ground, making them unable to move.
Hei Yao also stood up slowly, but as soon as he stood up, he heard Granny Pomegranate's voice.
"Hei Yao, get down right now!"
As Granny Pomegranate finished her words, a heavy object fell on the overturned carriage, kicked the door of the carriage open, and aimed a bow and arrow at the two people from above.
"Tell me! Where on earth did you take my brother?"
Without wasting time, Iyas went straight to the point.
"What a hot-tempered girl." Granny Pomegranate's wrinkled face showed no emotion. "How dare you come here and mess up our beloved carriage like this."
"Stop talking nonsense, mother-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you! If you don't want to get hurt, get out of the way quickly. I'm looking for the man behind you!"
A cold look appeared on Iyas's face. When she jumped onto the carriage, she took off her hood, revealing her pretty face to Hei Yao and Granny Pomegranate.
Just as Hei Yao thought, this woman was the elf he sold, but no one knew how this elf disguised itself as a human.
"It has nothing to do with me? This is my grandson, how can you say it has nothing to do with me? Protecting children and grandchildren is the duty of an elder."
Granny Pomegranate raised her cane, and a flash of light shone from the tip of it. But before she could cast her magic, Obsidian patted Granny Pomegranate's shoulder gently.
"Wait, mother-in-law. Don't worry, she found me."
Hei Yao stood in front of Granny Pomegranate and asked:
"I don't know what hatred this lady has against me, and who is the brother you mentioned? I don't remember ever meeting such a beautiful lady."
Iyas opened the bow a little more, "Don't play dumb with me. You look so good on the surface, but you know what kind of dirty business you are doing behind the scenes! You auctioned me off to the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce!"
Pretending to recall something, Hei Yao looked surprised and said, "You were from that time."
"It seems that you finally remembered! Answer me, where did you take my brother? If you don't want to answer, die!"
Because the string was stretched too thin, Iyas's hands trembled slightly. Hei Yao raised his hands to promise not to resist anymore.
"I'm really sorry, but I don't mean to sell you out. I do this just to make a living."
Before Hei Yao finished speaking, Iyas's arrow whistled past Hei Yao and pierced through the floor beneath their feet.
"Don't give me this useless talk, just get to the point and tell me where on earth you took my brother!"
