The Villain's Redemption Chapter 312 - The Female Lead

Chapter 312 - The Female Lead

"That b.i.t.c.h! That b.i.t.c.h is doing this on purpose!" Bishop Atlas cursed when he heard Mo Li raise the price to three hundred million gold. "How could that man be that rich? I don't believe it!" When the price of the talisman that could create fire skyrocketed to ten million earlier, the bishop was forced to reveal himself so he won't have any other compet.i.tor.

He was confident that no one would bid after that.

Who would have thought that someone would suddenly raise the price to fifty million? At first, he thought it might be some random person who knows nothing about the church. Sadly for him, the person didn't stop bidding.

Bishop Atlas tried to outbid him until they are here now. Three hundred million gold.

What the h.e.l.l is this price? How could it be like this?

Because of this, he was forced to use his authority to ask the boss of the auction house for the ident.i.ty of the person on the third floor.

It was Mo Li. The prince is actually got Rhea out of the church's premises! That d.a.m.n knight needed to die!

He couldn't stop himself from fuming. He felt like he is going to explode anytime soon.

"Three hundred and fifty. That's my limit!" The Bishop gritted his teeth. He had heard that there will be more than one talisman today. This is just the first talisman, and he was already forced to spend hundreds of millions! What kind of bad luck is this?

"Bishop… Prince Mo stopped bidding."

"Huh?" Bishop Atlas frowned.

"Prince Mo stopped bidding! Congratulations Bishop! You won!"

Congratulations? The Bishop glared at his a.s.sistant. This person is really dumb! "Shut up Stickler!" This person's last name is Stickler! The Bishop couldn't even remember his first name. "Stop smiling at me! You are irritating me!"

"I — My apologies bishop. I didn't mean to— "

"Stop talking and look at the next item! That d.a.m.n prince… I'm sure he would bid on the next items! The saintess wouldn't want to share her talismans into the world, most especially the church. I want you to make sure that we get everything today! Call the pope and tell him about this matter! The church is willing to spend every dime just to get ahold of those talismans!" The Bishop was fuming. He needed those talismans so everyone could study them.

The previous Saintess that was recorded in the history books wasn't able to create some talismans that could create fire and water elements. They were only able to create protection talismans. Because of this, the church thought that the saintess could only create protection spells and inscribe them in the talismans.

They were wrong.

It seems that the Saintess could actually cast other spells and inscribe them into any type of paper. This surprised everyone.

When the Bishop heard that some people actually sold the talismans that the saintess gave them, he immediately decided to join the auction and get the talismans. Who would have thought that Mo Li and the Saintess Rhea would be here to try to retrieve those talismans as well?

"Go ahead and bid!" he uttered when he saw the second talisman on the stage.

Meanwhile, Rhea was eating some apple slices as she watched the show. She always knew that the church is rich, but she didn't know that they are actually willing to spend so much just for one talisman!

"If this goes on… you will become the richest person on this continent anytime soon." Mo Li said. He smiled when Rhea snorted at his words.

"The church is willing to spend everything just to get ahold of my talismans. I believe they wanted to study it, learn the secret behind the powerful talisman." Obviously, they won't be able to do anything about it. In the first place, the talisman doesn't exist in this world.

Even if they wanted to, they won't be able to copy it.

She started beaming as she watched the bidding start.

[Host, the crown prince is leaving.]

Hm? Why is this system informing her about the prince?

Perhaps it's relevant to the plot?

"Hey, did you ask your people to follow the crown prince?" Earlier, Mo Li told her that one of his people confirmed that the crown prince was indeed on the first floor using a magic disguise.

"Yes, they are going to follow him."

"Hmmm… he is leaving the auction. This makes me wonder if there is something else in this auction house?" she asked.

"There is something… the auction house has an underground facility that sells poisons, slaves, and mercenaries."

"Slaves are legal?"

"No. But the crown is earning from it." Mo Li shrugged.

"I see…"

"If he is not here to see the auction, he should be here to buy poisons… or mercenaries. However, this is making me wonder why he is doing this alone?"

Rhea stayed silent. This only means that he cannot anyone else to do this.

[Host… the female lead is inside this auction house as well.]

'Huh?'

"Are you alright? You look… angry?"

"Tsk… I'm good." Rhea said. It seems that the system allowed her to come inside this empire because of the female lead. She thought about the timeline. The female lead was rejected by her mate when she turned eighteen. Because of this, she ran away and establish her own pack. However, the history between running away and coming back stronger wasn't really established.

It was just like most werewolf novels, where they didn't really include the detailed report of what she did to become stronger. They just stop writing after someone saved the female lead then skip to two or three or even ten years later.

'Tell me what happened after the female lead run away,' she said.

And well, she wasn't surprised when she didn't hear any answer from the system.

A sigh escaped her lips.

It seems that she had to personally investigate about this matter.

"I need to leave," Rhea said. She needed to talk to the female lead now.
