Chapter Eight: It's Over

"Bang." Catherine took out a small box from her pocket and slapped it on the table, staring at the box with her expression changing rapidly, and her heart was filled with struggle and conflict, but she still clenched her fists and whispered: "We still have money."

"Sister, are you crazy?" Lina exclaimed, covering her mouth, "This is... a mission item, what do you want to do?"

"Now, quote first. After the auction is finished, go and find John to return the task immediately." Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "This way, neither side will delay, just shout for the price."

Vivian seemed to have seen Catherine's bloody heart, her palms hanging on the price increase button, her lips trembling but she didn't have the courage to press it anyway.

"Don't hesitate, this is your most urgent wish. Once you miss it, it's impossible to save it." Catherine bit her lower lip tightly, squeezed out such a sentence, and took the initiative to reach out and press it on the button: "If you don't have the courage, I'll help you press it."

"Enough." Vivian suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice so loud that he could hear it in the venue. At the same time, his body rushed over to block the table, blocking the palm of Catherine pressed, and hugging Catherine. Vivian used his arms to tightly wrap around Catherine's waist, buried his face in Catherine's chest, and said in a muffled voice: "Enough, sister, it's really enough."

"But you..." Catherine said with difficulty: "Can't hesitate anymore Vivian. While I don't regret it yet, take a photo as soon as possible. Maybe I should..."

"Okay." Vivian raised her head, showed a big smile at Catherine, turned around and slapped hard at a button on the table: "Now it's all over."

"The No. 16, the No. 16 gave up." The host of the auction shouted in surprise: "The suspension time is not over yet. The guests of the No. 16 have made a decision and they have given up this auction. Now it depends on the decision of the No. 7 guest. If the No. 7 guest also decides to give up, the final owner of this diary is likely to be the No. 2 guest. So, will the No. 7 decide to give up? Or will the funds be raised to continue to follow up?"

"What are you doing? Did you press the wrong one?" Catherine and Lina both showed incredible expressions. Only Panis seemed to have thought of something, and hid beside him and smiled without saying a word.

"Mr. Pannis, what are you laughing?" Freya also approached Pannis and asked in a very low voice: "What have you thought of?"

"I'm laughing at three fools." Panis rarely escaped immediately. Instead, he looked back at Freya and said in a calm tone: "It is because they are such fools that it is difficult for them to leave them, right?"

Freya nodded and smiled knowingly: "That's it. Lina built a barrier to her soul because of the past. Vivian only lives in her own world for many years, but they can open their hearts to each other without reservation, and even regard each other as more important than themselves. It is a miracle."

"As you can see, sister." After giving up, Vivian seemed to have put down the heavy burden. He said with a relaxed look: "No mistake, I just pushed to give up, it's enough. No need to continue."

"But you..." Catherine looked at Vivian's smiling eyes and suddenly couldn't speak.

"If I really continue to shoot, I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay with you." Vivian reached out to hug Catherine, hugged Lina, hugged Freya, and kicked Panis: "I know. No one cares about this money, everyone cares about feelings. But because of this, can I squander these feelings?"

"Actually, all the money is useful. Sister, you need not talk about your debts. As a knight, you don't even have a real beast. I have seen you reluctant to leave near the beast bar outside the city. Of course, I also know that even if you ask you to buy it, you won't buy it. After all, an excellent beast often requires tens of thousands of gold coins, and only a thousand food a month. You can't bear it. Even if you have money now, you can't bear it. So I can borrow the money you can't bear to spend?"

"Where is Lina, I have negotiated with you several times with the collectors of ancient books. I don't know how much the price they offer for a book. You are so eager to find those books and your friends. Those are all fragile papers. Every day, you will have the hope of completely losing a friend. In this way, I can really borrow the money and don't know when I can pay it back?"

"And Freya, you never bring money when you go out." Vivian's eyes turned to Freya again, and Freya's round body moved back unnaturally: "What's going on with this money?"

"Uh, nothing." Freya's fat face turned red, and she moved her body to press the chair and clattered: "It was my father who gave it to me, it's really useless."

"Do I look easy to get fooled?" Vivian asked, "You never lie."

"It was really given to me by my father." Freya said: "Father's love is great. In order to give his daughter a happy future, he is willing to pay for as much money. Such fatherly love is as thick as a mountain, and..."

"Say it." Vivian stared at Freya, making her voice weaker and smaller: "Why don't you continue talking?"

"Okay, we made an agreement that from this time I left home, I will live independently outside for three years." Freya whispered: "As long as I can get back 100,000 gold coins for him to show it in three years, it means that I can support myself well, and he will no longer interfere in anything about me."

"In other words, including the time you studied with the teacher, these 50,000 gold coins are all your property, and you have to rely on these 50,000 gold coins for your meals?" Vivian said with a wry smile: "If I really use your money to buy it, what will you eat these days?"

"I said I want to lose weight." Freya whispered: "I still have hundreds of gold coins in my own right, and it will be fine in a few months. When my study is over, I plan to go back to our home and return to the team, so that it will be solved."

"No problem?" Vivian curled his lips, "When I lived together, what month did you spend less than one thousand gold coins?"

"Not so many, right?" Freya looked at Catherine and Lina as if asking for help. But the two girls nodded at the same time, saying that there were indeed so many: "Okay, even if there are so many, I can learn to save."

"Forget it." Vivian shook his hand and ignored her, and finally fell on Panis: "And you. Panis, your money is probably...well, you are exceptional."

"Hey, hey." Panis said angrily in dissatisfaction: "Why am I an exception?"

"Because your money is never spent on serious things." Vivian laughed and said, "I borrow it and treat you well."

"Nonsense, I do serious things." Panis retorted with confidence: "Wine, wine, and beauty, which one is not serious?"

"Is that true?" Catherine looked at Panis with a smile: "It turns out that these are serious things, that is to say. What we do is not serious things?"

"I was wrong." Panis immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Please forgive me again."

"Anyway, things are already like this." Vivian stretched easily: "Let the diary go to hell, I won't be so selfish, for my own desires? I want to deprive you of your wishes, and I will not be Vivian. Let's go home."

"I can't leave now." Panis shrugged and said nodded to the private room door.

"Dangdang." The door of the private room was knocked immediately: "May I ask, are the few people in the Neri Adventure Group in this private room?"

"Well, it's John." Catherine was stunned and said helplessly: "He was really anxious. He chased after the auction before it ended."

"Then settle the task by the way." Panis opened the door of the box casually.

John Murlaire, who had a beautiful beard, leaned in from outside the door and was immediately startled by the number of people in the room. He heard from his subordinates that Catherine and others came to the auction, but he ran over without asking much. He never expected that there were nine people in the room.

"I'm really sorry, it's disturbing everyone's interest." John Murlaire bowed down and bowed, expressing his mood without any concealment: "I heard that you have come back. I can't wait to come to the door. If there is any inconvenience to everyone, I hope you can get everyone's forgiveness."

"Okay, okay, your head is almost filled with fire." Catherine teased: "The thing has been brought back to you as it is, so you can rest assured."

"Really?" John's eyes shone, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands. He asked carefully: "Can you...hehe, can you let me see it?"

"Hey. That's it." Catherine picked up the small box from the table and opened it. The crimson light immediately burst out, filling the entire box.

"Well, yes, yes, it's it." John's nervousness and fear disappeared in an instant, and his whole body of strength seemed to disappear, and he collapsed on the chair: "That's great, so good, thank you so much. You saved the reputation of Murray and Jones Auction House and saved the two families. I don't know what to say."

"Then there is nothing to say." Catherine re-covered the box: "Just pay according to the commission."

"Then how much did you buy this?" John's heart rose again: "Isn't it particularly expensive, right?"

"Let's go." Panis suddenly interrupted John and pulled the people in the box out: "Let them talk, let's go out first. If there are more people late, you will not be able to hire a carriage."

"Don't run out like this." Everyone was pulled out of the box by Panis, and Panis closed the door of the box. Lina said with some dissatisfaction: "If this is the case, the eldest sister..."

"Leave it to her." Panis whispered: "She makes all her own choices."

"Okay, okay." Lina muttered a few times and stopped insisting.

In just a few minutes, the door of the box opened again, and Catherine walked out with a normal expression and waved her hand: "Let's go, go home."

"Have you made a choice?" Penis asked, "Which option was chosen?"

"You guess." Catherine blinked mysteriously.

"If you guess correctly, tell us?" Penis asked.

"I won't tell you if I guess it right." Catherine smiled sly: "This is an eternal secret."
