On the other side, seeing that her threat had no effect and seemed to further provoke the opponent, Kelsey, who felt like her wrist was about to break, looked shocked and incredulous.
Without a doubt, this was the first time in her life she had encountered someone who dared to treat the Sanders family with such contempt!
While feeling both angry and annoyed, she, deep down, began to harbor some intentions to back down.
However, she still appeared high and mighty, furrowing her brows while asking, “Damn it, what do you want to do?”
“Very simple. Apologize to everyone here and leave with your people.” Leo Ray spoke casually, smiling coolly.
At the moment, everyone on their side was wearing Illusion Cloaks, able to change their appearance at any time, with no concerns for being identified afterward.
Hearing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but cast their respectful gazes towards Leo Ray, especially locals, who were even more respectful.
It must be known that in the whole Viennas City, there were very few who could handle this unruly and spicy lady.
“You’re dreaming! Don’t think that with a few Tier 3 Powerhouses, you can run rampant in this city. My father and the Sanders family will never let you go!”
Kelsey, feeling humiliated, snorted coldly and stubbornly continued.
“Then pay for your recklessness,”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray’s face turned cold, and he increased his grip.
Just as Kelsey’s arm reached its endurance limit, a familiar, delicate figure suddenly burst through the door.
Much to their surprise, it was Linda, who had left just a short time earlier.
“My Lord, please forgive my intrusion. This reckless woman in red is the friend I was looking for!”
Immediately after, Linda’s faint voice conveyed through their mind talk.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that Linda had returned after an unsuccessful visit to Sanders’ Trading Conference.
“Forget it. Since we still need them to do things for us, it’s better to keep them unscathed. It’ll be more convenient.”
Thinking about this, Leo Ray shook his head helplessly, and the pressure on Kelsey’s wrist gradually eased.
“Linda, how come it’s you?”
When Kelsey saw Linda, who had just removed her Illusion Cloak, her pretty face was suddenly filled with surprise and joy, she promptly said, “That’s great! Please help me!”
Linda, who had just approached, attached a stern expression, whispered into Kelsey’s ear: “Admit your mistake immediately. You’re provoking someone you can’t afford to offend. Otherwise, even if it means abandoning you, I won’t make any concessions!”
“…A big shot?”
Seeing the serious expression and cold words that Linda had never shown before, Kelsey was taken aback, and her aggression instantly dissipated, her momentum withering away.
Since childhood, Linda, who had a slight blood relationship with Kelsey, had been like a biological sister to her. Every time they met, she was very protective and caring of Kelsey, even getting into conflicts with the direct line of the family for her.
From this, it can be seen how much of an impact Linda’s cold expression had on Kelsey’s heart. After all, Linda was her closest sister.
Noticing this, Leo Ray shrugged his shoulders, without further confronting Kelsey, and released the hand gripping her arm.
“I apologize for my … my rudeness earlier. Please forgive me, Your Excellency,”
Due to Linda’s appearance, Kelsey reluctantly lowered her body symbolically, apologizing to Leo Ray unwillingly.
Seeing the scene, the shopkeeper, a large group of customers, and traders’ guards all had astonished and disbelieving expressions.
Well, well, the famously willful young lady of Viennas City had actually admitted her mistake voluntarily?lt’s like a child walking a giant dragon as a pet on the street, quite a peculiar sight!
From this, one could see how mysterious this calm and composed young man is!
On the other side, looking at Kelsey bowing in front of him, Leo Ray couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow slightly.
It seems that Linda holds a high position in the other party’s heart, otherwise, they wouldn’t easily yield to him.
“Lord, this is not a place to stay for long, let’s find another place to talk.” Linda then bowed respectfully to Leo Ray and whispered.
And so, in front of a crowd of onlookers with incredulous expressions, Leo Ray nonchalantly dropped a bag of Gold Dragons.
Then he waved his hand, put the piles of gorgeous clothes into a bag, and left with his subordinates.
“My Lord, allow me to reintroduce, this is Kelsey Sanders, the daughter of the Master of Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference. The incident earlier was due to my negligence, and I left without permission. Please do not blame her!”
A moment later, in a quiet and luxurious private room, Linda again performed a standard knight’s courtesy and respectfully bowed to Leo Ray.
“No worries.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a thoughtful expression. It seems that this red-dressed woman named Kelsey is one of the important figures of the Sanders family in Viennas City.
“No wonder she can compete with the Sanders family’s main branch in the city. From her fiery and aggressive performance just now, one can glimpse her power.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.
According to the original plan, this branch of the Sanders family would naturally be the target he needed to win over.
“However, even though Linda has a good relationship with her, it’s not enough to truly gain her support. We still need to further contact her father, who holds power.”
“The best way to do so is to try to squeeze out the rival branch of the Sanders family from Viennas City.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this,
on the other side, Kelsey’s pretty face was full of confusion, and she asked Linda doubtfully, “Sister Linda, who exactly is this person? Why are you so respectful to him?”
“Kelsey, when the time is right, you’ll know everything.”
Following Leo Ray’s previous instructions, Linda naturally wouldn’t reveal his true identity, but just smiled faintly.
Then, Linda’s heroic face became serious again and said, “In short, the tremendous power behind this Lord is beyond your imagination, and he’s completely on the side of our side family members.”
“Since sister Linda says so, I’ll trust you for now.”
Glancing at Leo Ray with some hesitation, Kelsey’s exquisite face showed a hint of doubt as she responded perfunctorily.
From her tone, it was clear that she was still holding a grudge about the incident earlier.
“Alright, Kelsey, let’s talk about the main issue.”
Then, Linda briefly described their intention to participate in the auction to Kelsey.
“Since sister Linda is asking, an invitation will naturally not be a problem. However, this time’s Viennas City Auction requires participants to bring at least 500,000 Gold Dragons and be verified before entering the venue. This is not a small amount.”
“Even ordinary noble families and wealthy merchants can’t afford to come up with so much cash at once.”
At this point, Kelsey looked at Leo Ray with some pride and asked provocatively, “I wonder if this so-called great person, Your Excellency, meets the requirements?”
On the other side, Leo Ray smiled slightly and waved his hand.
The spacious luxury room was immediately filled with heavy boxes of gold coins, instantly becoming a dazzling sight..
