Yorkson
The suit man’s words made Lunaria want to laugh . Weren’t they supposed to point fingers at each other? But now it seemed that the man wasn’t about to fight while Zhang Ling was very outraged,
"As I have said, it is impossible . I will serve Lady Darmiala all my life . If you insult her ever again, you will be sorry for what you say . "
Urgh…Now Lunaria seemed to understand the situation . The man in suit continued,
"You know, Ling, what are we doing here in Avalon? We cannot succeed even if we can learn a few moves secretly from those masters if we don’t have the talent . And masters are too busy with study to take care of us, which means you are free . They wouldn’t find out whatever you do . Even they do, they wouldn’t mind . So you should join Yorkson Underground Auction . The owner and I have a high hope on you . He is even willing to pay a high price to the Convictor of Tiferia Princ.i.p.ality to get you freed from slavery . ”
"I am not in contract, and every action is my own will . Salma, you better drop the idea forever . "
Zhang Ling"s answer was simple but extremely pushy . Now Lunaria understood Zhang Ling’s abnormal action because the man really crossed the line . He insulted Ling’s master Darmiala .
“What"s Yorkson Underground Auction?”
Zamacia immediately answered to Lunaria’s question .
"Yorkson Underground Auction is one of Avalon College"s contractors . Not only does it have an underground auction place for students and teachers, it also has a reputation throughout the whole south Gabriel Island and the Horizon Ash Alliance . This old auction house is number one in terms of reputation and quality . "
Since Zhang Ling was qualified enough to be selected by such a powerful auction house, it meant that he had exceptional abilities . Otherwise, Salma would not say that even the boss thought highly of him .
Therefore, Salma didn’t intend to provoke Zhang Ling . The tension between them was rather tight but actually they wouldn’t end up fighting each other . Zhang Ling was smart enough . He looked angry because he wanted to bluff to force Salma to quit . Obviously he underestimated Salma’s insistence . No matter how hard he tried to threaten him, Salma kept using different excuses to get back at him .
Just then, a calm voice came from outside the crowd .
"Since Mr . Zhang has kept turning you down, you should give up . "
Salma seemed to recognize the voice and responded,
"But Lin, this is an order from the boss . "
"Hehe . You can’t control other’s will with an order . I will talk to Ghana Geva later . Off you go . " As the voice got close, the man walked out of the crowd . All onlookers made a way for him like he was a super star . The Vermillion man stepped into Lunaria’s sight .
"My name is Lin Xiu, a junior student here . "
"A student?" Zhang Ling was confused why a student would step into this .
Lin Xiu smiled,
"Aka, the shareholder and president of York Underground Auction . "
"President?!" Zhang Ling couldn’t believe what he heard . Yorkson was not a vending stand . How could a student be a president of Yorkson? But this young man looked like he wasn’t joking at all .
"Since Mr . Zhang won"t accept our invitation, no one can force him . But you are welcomed at any time . If you are interested, you can do a part-time job . What do you think?"
Unlike the chatterbox Salma, Lin Xiu gave a nice and tactful suggestion . Zhang Ling already lost his patience with Salma, so when he heard Lin, he quickly said,
"I"ll think about it . "
Lin Xiu smiled and nodded slightly .
"Then I hope to hear from you . Thank you for your time . " He said to Salma .
"Salma, go and do what I told you last time . "
Salma, who had been silent behind Lin Xiu, nodded slightly and said yes .
Lin Xiu smiled at Zhang Ling before he hopped on the carriage to leave .
Salma had nothing to say since Lin Xiu had made up his mind . But he didn’t approve the results . He shook his head and then left in the opposite direction to Zhang Ling .
Then the crowd spread out to do their own things . And everything in the street went back to normal .
Zhang Ling was relieved and looked at his companions subconsciously, but found a new face .
He was a little confused,
"This is . . . "
"This is Lady Lunaria . " Zamacia introduced before Lunaria introduced herself . Then Zhang Ling suddenly took a tumble,
"So you are Lady Lunaria . May I know what I can help?"
"Stop calling me Lady . Lunaria or Miss Lunaria would both be fine . Lady Lunaria is too much . ” Zamacia and Zhang Ling looked at each other . They were her servants . Lady Lunaria was the right address for them .
"Don’t look at each other . Anyway, I don’t like being called Lady . No one is born to be a servant . I hope everyone can be treated equally . "
" Miss…Lunaria?" Zhang Ling tried carefully, which made Lunaria speechless . Was he afraid of stepping on a mine?
"This topic is over . I guess I could picture what happened before . But why do they choose you? What have you done?”
Zhang Ling felt strange that Lunaria asked the question, but he still answered it specifically,
"I did a part-time job at the auction house . It never occurred me that they like the way I auction . So they want to hire me . But you should know it is impossible because I am a servant of Miss Darmiala . There is no way I could end master-servant relationship with her just for such a teeny-tiny auction house . ”
Teeny-tiny auction house? Before Zamacia explained to her, she really had thought Yorkson was small .
