Chapter 2906: Elder Leo, I Can Help You Find The Painting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Ziyin took a deep breath. She had already expected to be treated coldly, so she was mentally prepared.
She was smart enough not to mention what had happened at the hall today. Instead, she asked, âElder Leo, are you looking for a painting?â
Leonard looked at her sharply. âHow do you know?â
âl heard you on the phone when 1 entered.â Ji Ziyin frankly admitted to eavesdropping. â1 can help you find the painting.â
Leonard gave her another sidelong glance and sneered. âWhat are you up to now? Do you think Iâll fall in the same place twice?â
Ji Ziyin was very confident. âIâve lived in the independent continent for more than 20 years and am extremely familiar with the place. My connections are all here, so itâs more convenient for me to find things than you. If you want to find a painting, 1 can think of a way to get it for you.â Leonard was undoubtedly convinced.
The independent continent was not his territory.
He did not bring many people with him, so it was inevitable that he would be restrained when doing things and could not act as he wished.
Ji Ziyin was born and lived on the independent continent. Her efficiency in finding the painting should be much better.
Ji Ziyin could tell he was wavering and immediately added, âTake it as my apology for my rash actions this time,â
She then smiled dignifiedly. âElder Leo wonât deprive me of a chance to atone for my sins, right?â
Leonard sized her up. The Empress had not given up on her, and he could not settle scores with her immediately⊠He put down his cup and said, âl can give you a chance. If you find this painting, I will forgive you for your little trick this time! On the contrary, if you play any tricks on me againâŠ
âHeh.â He laughed coldly. âEven if the Empress thinks highly of you, I will show you the consequences of toying with me!
Ji Ziyinâs heart turned cold, but she forced herself to calm down. She stood under the hooked-nosed elderâs scrutiny with her head held high.
Annoyed, Leonard looked away and told her about the painting he was looking for.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ziyinâs heart thumped, and she said without hesitation, âDonât worry, Iâll definitely buy the painting for you.â
Leonard was easy to negotiate with, so he revealed a little to her out of kindness. âl know why you came this time. Since youâre so straightforward, Iâll tell you.
âRonko wonât betray you.
âThe Empress has already sent someone to warn him. He will not dare to offend the Empress.â
His eyes were cold and mocking. âSo you didnât have to come today. The
Empress has already dealt with it for you.â
He really did not understand why the Empress thought so highly of someone like Ji Ziyin.
This girl was too utilitarian, like a rat in a smelly ditch. She would try to climb up the pole as long as she was given a chance.
However, she was ruthless and did not show gratitude to her benefactors⊠Even if the Empress helped her, she would not be able to get the reward she deserved in the future.
Even he could see that.
Leonard did not believe that the Empress could not tell that Ji Ziyin was not worthy of their support!
However, the Empress wanted to support this Ji ZiyinâŠ
Although Leonard did not understand, he didnât dare to interfere with that personâs actions.
He said, âYou just have to understand that everything you have today was given to you by the Empress. Donât disappoint the Empress, and you will be safe and sound. No one can touch you, including that Qiao Nian!â
Ji Ziyinâs heart tightened and she lowered her head to hide her hatred.
However, outwardly, she was very obedient. âl understand. Thank you, Elder
Leo..â
