Chapter 109 Auction Part 2
"Excuse me! But this is not what I was told yesterday! Who the hell are you to tell us we have to leave!?" Alice was mad. She had brought Vance down here because she wanted him to be able to sell his potions for a good price not to be brushed off and shooed away by some big titted girl who didn\'t know how to do her job!
The girl\'s expression turned ugly as she looked up and stared at Alice while pointing her finger at her. "Look little girl, this is not some fun house! This is an auction house. Look at you both. You are both wearing cheap clothing. What good things could you be selling? This is a place of business and we do not sell rocks you found on the side of the road!"
"What!? How dare you speak to me like this!" Alice was fuming. She wanted to reach out and smash the stupid woman\'s head in. But luckily, Vance pulled her back.
"Alice it\'s fine we will just find another auction house to sell our holy potions. It\'s no big deal really." Vance\'s words were loud. He wanted to make sure whoever was behind the door could hear him so he shouted what he had to say, causing everyone to turn to look at him. Once he got everyone\'s attention he continued: "It\'s not every day that some rude girl would look down on the princess of the kingdom just because she judges people by the shirts they wear when she herself is wearing second hand goods."
The girl behind the reception desk was angered beyond belief. She would not believe Vance at all! She did not think this little bastard and the girl had anything good. Nor did she believe the girl was actually the princess of her kingdom! She looked at Alice with her arms crossed across her chest and snorted as she said:? "Humph! If you truly are the princess of this kingdom, then I will run through the streets of this town naked! But I can say for a fact that you are no princess, and you have no holy potions. I have worked here a long time and am able to judge people with a single glance!"
"What is all the racket out here!?" A booming voice came from the side. Everyone turned to see an old man standing there with a questioning gaze on his face. When his eyes swept over the group of people, they landed on Alice, whose expression was not very good, and furrowed his brow. "Princess Alice, who angered you?"
Dead silence. Everyone in the room who had been whispering and talking about the situation went quiet. There were not many, and most were just waiting here to check the auction list posted on the wall, but when the commotion started, many people came in from outside to watch the show.
There was, however, one person frozen in fear. She looked between the old man and Alice and suddenly remembered something. In the entire kingdom, there was only one family with pink hair. And there was only one young woman with pink hair as well. The princess of their kingdom. Princess Alice…. She suddenly remembered the young man saying the name Alice and realized she had really messed up!
"Oh? You are the one I spoke to yesterday. Good. I brought my husband over to have his holy potions appraised, but this bitch behind the counter shooed us away as if we were some beggars on the street. On top of that, she said she would run naked through the streets if it was true that I was the true blue princess of this kingdom. Sir Lanor, how should we deal with this?"
"What!?" The old man\'s beard almost blew off as he yelled out and glared at the girl behind the counter. "You dare turn people away without actually having their items appraised!? You have worked here for four years, and you were doing this the entire time!?" Of course, he knew this was happening but to save face, he was putting all the blame on the receptionist and acting like he did not know. Which of course, no one was dumb enough not to know that he did know.
"I… I …" The girl had no idea what to say. This was the head of the auction house! He would not lie about such things! "I…."
"Strip!" Sir Lanor yelled out. He did not care if he sounded strange or not. Since the girl decided to state such a claim, she would do as she said! "Strip and run naked through the streets. After making two laps up and down the street, come back here and get your things. You are not the only one who can do this job!"
Everything was happening so fast that the reception girl did not have to think she began to strip. But before she could pull her shirt over her shoulder, a hand reached out to stop her. "Don\'t…."
Vance did not like the way he was being treated, but he did not like humiliating a girl like this. It was not like she did him any harm, really. Her words were very rude, but it was not something worth forcing her to do a deed like running around naked.? "We can forget about it all," Vance said before turning to Sir Lanor. "While she was rude, it is also your own fault as well. Sir Lanor, when it comes to running a business, always remember even the beggar on the side of the road is a customer. You never know what they might bring in. They might even have a precious gem they found by accident that could net your entire auction house millions, but you have your receptionist push these people out the door, so the appraiser is free to do other things. You make enough money to have a dedicated appraiser, do you not?" Vance paused for a second before shaking his head. "Anyway, it\'s not my place to tell you how to run a business, but we will not hold anything against this girl, so don\'t fire or make her run through the streets naked."
"This…." Sir Lanor looked at Alice, who was too busy to mind him since she was staring up at Vance with a beautiful smile on her face. She knew she was angry, but she also did not wish for this to happen. Just a minor punishment was fine. Sir Lanor sighed and understood that the man\'s words were law since he was the Princess\'s husband. "Then she will have three months\' salary deducted."
