33: Late night trading

Chapter 33: A Late Night Transaction

Below the arena, a crowd of noble youths congratulated Alice.

After all, everyone knew that Dick was someone the Bison Family invested in, and even more so, Miss Alice's personal attendant.

Having gained such a powerful talent, the Bison Family's strength would undoubtedly rise to the next level, and Alice was the direct beneficiary.

"Thanks to Young Master's guidance, this subordinate did not fail in his mission!"

Coming down from the arena, Dick respectfully bowed to Alice, his words and actions like those of an absolutely loyal attendant, making the surrounding noble youths envious.

One must know, based on Dick's stunning performance just now, he could completely break free from the Bison Family and establish his own faction.

Yet Dick still recognized Alice as his master, gaining fame and fortune without becoming arrogant or impatient. To have such a mindset and quality at nineteen was truly rare.

Watching Dick's humble bow and listening to the envious discussions of those around her, Alice felt a little lightheaded for a moment.

At this moment, she even forgot her identity as a slave, feeling as if she had truly become Dick's Young Master.

"Y-your performance was good, you didn't disappoint this Miss. Keep up the hard work in the future..."

Alice said words of encouragement with a flushed face, placing her hand on Dick's shoulder, acting out a scene of a kind master and filial servant.

Suddenly, a large group of people walked towards Alice, extremely noisy, seemingly arguing about something.

"I've already said, I am a maid from the Bison Family, only loyal to Miss Alice alone. Please stop bothering me..."

At the front of the crowd was a flustered Mina, surrounded by noble youths, constantly refusing various offers.

Some offered high salaries to hire her as their bodyguard, others invited her to join their adventure team, and some even proposed marriage on the spot...

Seeing this scene, Dick knew that Mina must have become a Holy Knight's special recruit, and these noble youths were all scrambling for talent.

Mina was a new face, her name had never been heard before, and her surname was a commoner's surname.

Therefore, all the noble youths unanimously believed that Mina was definitely an unattached commoner genius.

Like Dick, a commoner who successfully became a special recruit was equivalent to a fish leaping over the dragon gate, completely able to establish their own faction and become a free person in the upper class.

Mina was very polite. She wasn't good at refusing others and always said words of apology gently, her tone soft and sweet.

This gave people the illusion that 'if I'm just a little more persistent, maybe she'll accept'.

Therefore, many noble youths didn't give up and kept pestering Mina.

"Mina, my excellent companion reader, congratulations on becoming a Holy Knight's special recruit..."

Alice directly stepped forward, held Mina's hand, and loudly declared her ownership, causing the surrounding noble youths to look at each other in dismay.

What the heck?

Both special recruits are your attendants?

Is there any justice left? What kind of heaven-defying luck is this?

Soon, Mina also followed Dick's example and respectfully bowed to Alice, leaving the people around them speechless.

Having successively received the oaths of allegiance from two excellent special recruits, the attitude of those around Alice had changed from envy to jealousy.

Especially some girls, the displeasure on their faces was visible to the naked eye, but there was nothing they could do.

Alice had the number one appearance, a perfect figure, was the Bison Family's title heir, had money, power, and beauty, and now she also had people...

Almost all the good things were taken by Alice!

In the evening, the entrance ceremony ended.

In the carriage back to the manor, Alice was extremely excited, chattering non-stop about the day's events.

After all, she was just a twenty-year-old girl. This public display today made her extremely satisfied, and her tone of voice was a little floaty.

"Dick, so your sword technique is that amazing. You actually defeated the Swordsman Department's chief. Stephen was only the seventh seat back then..."

Looking at Alice, whose eyes were full of little stars, Dick felt a bit noisy and said coldly, "You were a bit too dramatic today. You didn't really think of me as your attendant, did you?"

Alice was indeed a bit jumpy today, constantly dragging Dick around everywhere to show off in front of people.

It was as if she wanted everyone to know that Dick, such an amazing special recruit, was her Alice's attendant, reaping full of jealousy.

Many noble young ladies who were at odds with Alice were so angry today their mouths were crooked.

And to play his role well, Dick was very obedient today, always following behind Alice, serving tea and water, providing thoughtful service.

"I, I just wanted to let others know about you, to make your status more stable..."

"Heh heh," Dick sneered, glancing at Alice and saying, "Come to my room tonight."

Hearing this, Alice's face turned red, and she squeezed her skirt hem with both hands, but soon whispered, "Oh."

Mina, who was beside them, was unhappy and quickly grumbled, "Dick, I... I want to go to your room too!"

"What are you going to do there?"

"I, I also want to solidify our relationship!"

Dick waved his hand and said casually, "Forget it. Our relationship is already stable enough. Don't keep coming to my room when you have nothing to do in the future."

"It's not stable, not stable at all!" Mina became anxious and started talking nonsense.

"Hmm?"

Dick's eyes narrowed, and he leaned his face closer to Mina. He detected a hint of betrayal.

Looking at Dick who was close by, Mina felt a little flustered and confused for a moment, her breathing and heartbeat rapidly accelerating.

Unlike the Soul Contract with Alice, there was only a Magic Contract between Dick and Mina, which was not very stable.

"So, will you betray me?" Dick quietly cast a lie detection secret technique.

Mina said in a daze, "No, I won't..."

Soon, the experienced Dick left Mina. He knew that at this stage, this cute girl would absolutely not betray him.

Seeing Dick leave, Mina felt a little lost and couldn't help but ask again, "Dick, aren't we going to solidify our relationship?"

"No need," Dick said calmly, looking at the fiery clouds outside the carriage window.

Mina was currently bound by shackles called love, unable to break free, only sinking deeper and deeper.

...

As night fell, Beyonce came to visit Dick. She was clearly here for the Li Huo Flow Sword Technique.

In the reception room, Dick sent everyone else away, planning to discuss a private transaction with Beyonce.

Magic knowledge had always been the most valuable wealth. Dick wasn't that generous, nor did he have any interest in teaching for free.

Beyonce could learn the Li Huo Flow Sword Technique from him, but the premise was that the benefits were sufficient and the transaction was pleasant.

"Dick Grudia, I hope to learn the Li Huo Flow Sword Technique from you. The sooner we start, the better." Beyonce got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Dick smiled and nodded, "Of course, no problem. Just like I said in the arena today, I will teach you."

"Not only that, I will also help you successfully break through Level 30 and solve the bottleneck problem that has been bothering you."

Dick's words made Beyonce pause for a moment. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but soon, Beyonce said in a deep voice:

"What do you want?"

There was no free lunch in the world. The two had never met before. Dick had no reason to help her for free; he must have other intentions.

But even before coming here, Beyonce had already prepared to risk everything. She would do her best to meet any of Dick's conditions.

The loss of the Fire Separation Style inheritance had always been a knot in their clan's heart.

Dick didn't waste words either. He looked at Beyonce and said meaningfully, "I want you."

Hearing this, Beyonce's expression froze. Her cute rabbit ears tilted, and her pretty face looked lost.

"W-what do you mean... Dick Grudia, I... I don't quite understand."

Dick shook his head, looked at Beyonce, and said, "Do I have to be that direct?"

"Beyonce, I fell in love with you at first sight and hope to possess you!"

"D-D-D-Dick Grudia, are you serious? I'm unkempt. There are many girls in the Academy who are prettier than me..."

Beyonce was completely stunned. She didn't expect the confession to come so suddenly.

Although she was the most beautiful in the Li Huo Rabbit Clan, she usually didn't dress up at all and never took care of herself like those exquisite noble young ladies.

Every day was spent sweating in the training ground, and her personality was strong on weekdays. Not a single male around her had feelings for her.

Even though she was already 25 this year, Beyonce was single since birth and had never considered dating.

Moreover, she also knew that as the Young Clan Leader of the Li Huo Rabbit Clan, she would definitely be arranged for a political marriage in the future. She had no choice for free love.

Ignoring Beyonce's wavering, Dick stood up directly, sat beside her, and said bluntly:

"So, do we have a deal? You give yourself to me, and I will teach you the Li Huo Flow Sword Technique."
