Two hours later, at the entrance of the Lisi commercial building, the supplies Audrey had bought had almost filled up the entire beast carriage. This time, she had spent all of her savings.

“Miss Audrey, we hope to see you soon.”

The commercial building’s director, Mack, bowed in a gentlemanly manner. His face was full of smiles, and he was incomparably warm. Nevertheless, his att.i.tude was completely different from before.

Buying so many materials at once was clearly not something Audrey could do with her financial resources. Moreover, she would not do so because there were many things that Audrey did not need.

For example, beast cores, mithril, fluorescent gra.s.s, earth core fluid, and other materials. It was useless for an aura-refining cultivator to buy these basic materials. Only alchemists or mages would buy these things.

Therefore, there was no doubt that Audrey was not here to purchase these items for herself. However, she was definitely here for the Davis family.

The person in charge of purchasing for a large family was definitely someone that all the commercial buildings had to rope in and gather favor with.

“Lord Mack, isn’t miss Audrey the daughter of the Davis family’s patriarch? Why would she go to the logistics department to do the purchasing?”

Looking at the beast carriage that was gradually moving further and further away, a female attendant of the commercial building could not help but ask curiously.

In her eyes, these young masters and young ladies of the five great families were all born with a golden spoon in their mouths. Their statuses were n.o.ble and lofty, looking down on the ordinary people in the world.

And why would miss Audrey, who had such a n.o.ble status, go to the logistics department to work as a purchasing agent?

After all, these things were usually done by her subordinates. As a young lady of the direct line of descent, all she needed to do was enjoy life.

When Mack heard this, he smiled faintly. “It’s straightforward. Because her cultivation is not good, and her talent is too poor.”

The little handmaiden nodded as if she understood something. But, in fact, she still did not understand why she had to come out to go shopping when her cultivation was not good.

When Mack saw this, he only smiled and did not explain much.

These little handmaidens of the commercial building were just some commoners. They had only heard rumors from the streets about the five great families. They only knew how much the five great families respected, how n.o.ble, and how powerful they were. However, they would never truly understand the internal compet.i.tion and cruel elimination mechanism of the five great families.

Indeed, the young masters and young ladies of the five great families did not need to do any work. Their clothes were worn for them, and their meals were fed directly to them. Everything else was someone else’s service to them.

However, if they wanted to receive such treatment, they needed to have a value that matched it. No one could get it for free, and they did not need to pay for it.

Audrey clearly did not have that kind of value. Her talent in cultivation had long since spread throughout the city.

How could the family continue to provide for a good-for-nothing who was destined to have no value in the future?

Not long ago, Mack had heard some rumors that Audrey had been deprived of her cultivation resources by the family.

It was only natural that a person who had been abandoned by the family would be thrown into the logistics department to be responsible for the work of the secular world.

“Bell, the next time miss Audrey comes to our commercial building, inform me immediately. Perhaps miss Audrey will be our honored guest for a long time to come.”

Mack instructed the little handmaiden, Bell.

…

In Audrey’s beast carriage, her personal handmaiden, Lifei, said worriedly, “Miss, there are so many things. You don’t need many of them, right?”

She knew very well that her mistress had sold all her valuables to gather enough money to buy these supplies.

From now on, Audrey would probably be penniless. She might not even be able to take out 100 gold coins.

Moreover, more than 90% of these things were things that she would not need.

Why would she buy them?

Lifei’s eyes were filled with deep worry. She thought that her mistress had gone insane after being abandoned by her family. This was an irrational form of revenge spending.
