Chapter 181: Trouble Had Come Knocking on Her Door

There were still three days before the official start of the preparations. Although the Templar Knights had provided many high-grade herbs, Audrey still packed her things and found a nearby auction house.

She had used the existing herbs to create a batch of high-grade potions. Now, she needed to find a place to sell all these things and use her money to make the one she wanted.

As an alchemist, what everyone wanted to refine successfully was probably an upgrade potion. As long as they drank it, they could at least advance by one level, and at most, they could advance by several levels.

Audrey naturally had the same thoughts.

When she passed by the blue sound barrier, she thought that she would be stopped. Who knew that the thin film seemed to have a life of its own. She bypassed it directly in front of her, leaving a gap that allowed her to pass through.

Audrey widened her eyes in surprise. After sensing it for a moment, she realized that it was actually a barrier made entirely of combat aura. As long as a person walked in, their strength would be automatically weakened.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

“Audrey!”

Coincidentally, the person who came here was none other than Maggie, who had a good relationship with Daisy.

However, this girl was very scheming in class. On the surface, she acted as if she had a good relationship with him, but she had done very dirty things in the dark.

For example, she often spoke ill of herself behind his back. Audrey knew everything he said, but she did not want to care about it.

Maggie also noticed her. She did not greet her but immediately turned around and saw a boy walking out behind her.

The boy was wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking very compatible with Maggie.

Audrey had some impression of this person. He seemed to be the son of a certain royal family and the eldest. This meant that this person would inherit the royal family’s assets in the future.

As for Maggie, she was just a side chamber in one of the five great families. So how could she be related to the royal family?

“Why aren’t you going in? Did you meet someone you know?” Thomas looked at Maggie in front of him and frowned.

Did she not know that one could not enter the auction without an invitation?

Maggie smiled gently. “She’s my friend. Her name is Audrey.”

Audrey resisted puking, but she maintained a smile on her face. How did Maggie do it? Wasn’t she incompatible with her? She could actually call out her name so intimately.

The shell of the void scale turtle was not even as thick-skinned as hers.

Thomas sized her up carefully, his eyes filled with disdain. “Did you invite her to the auction?”

Maggie naturally shook her head.

“I came here on my own. It has nothing to do with you. Please keep a certain distance from me,” Audrey said as she took two steps back. Her expression was as if she had met a ferocious beast.

Maggie secretly gritted her teeth, but she still maintained a smile on her face. She continued to ask, “What are you here for today? I never remembered that you liked to come to places like this.”

Her voice was still as gentle as before. It sounded soft and gentle.

Just the way she dressed and the way she spoke was enough to make people pity her.

“I have some things to take care of. And if I remember correctly, our relationship isn’t so good that we need to know each other,” Audrey retorted directly.

Thomas, who was beside her, naturally noticed Audrey’s tone. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Maggie’s shoulder, making it obvious that he was protecting his daughter.

“Do you even know how to speak? If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up!” Thomas looked down at Maggie and spoke tenderly, “Let’s not argue with her. A person like her probably doesn’t even have an invitation. Let’s go in quickly. The auction is about to begin.”

Audrey was sensitive enough to catch the meaning behind his words.

Invitation letter? Was there a need to bring an invitation letter to a place like this?

“Why have not I heard of such a saying… It seems like it’s going to be a little difficult to sell the item today.” Audrey thought to herself.

Maggie frowned slightly. The way she frowned was very pitiful. “Maybe Audrey is in a bad mood today, so she spoke a little harshly to me. Don’t argue with Audrey.”

Audrey took a deep breath.

Why was this woman still pretending at this time?

Now, she looked like a bad person.

“If I was in a bad mood, you might be gone now.” Audrey narrowed her eyes and looked at the girl who pretended to be weak. Then, she clicked her tongue, “Be more respectful to me in the future. I’m not sure what I can do.”

Maggie frowned and leaned into Thomas’ arms, pretending to be weak. She spoke with a sobbing tone.

“I just wanted to remind you. I didn’t expect you to treat me like this…”
