Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1907: Chapter 1907: Magic Apostle (28)

He followed Karson’s instructions and prepared to go out and find an ordinary person to bring in.

People like Chuzheng, these ’useless people’, were a dime a dozen outside.

But when he reached the teleportation array, he found that the light of the array wasn’t on, and the person in charge of guarding the teleportation array was inspecting it.

And that’s not all; the teleportation arrays of all routes had failed.

Karson’s head was spinning: ”Are you sure all the teleportation arrays have failed?”

The person nodded: ”We’ve contacted and confirmed, they almost failed simultaneously.”

The arrays had only been down for a short period; they had yet to contact this side before he ran into it.

Karson glanced at Suo Wei.

The young master was twirling a gold coin between his fingers, his light golden eyes blinking curiously at him.

Karson: ”...”

If he didn’t know a bit about this one, he would really think he was just an innocent, naive little guy.

”Young Master Suo Wei, can I ask if the issue with the teleportation array is related to you?”

He didn’t even realize when the young master had arrived, and as soon as he appeared, the teleportation array failed.

Suo Wei looked innocent, his tone obedient and gentle: ”Mr. Karson, I have no grudge against the teleportation array, and I also need to go out.”

Karson: ”...”

Karson had no ability to judge the truth from micro-expressions.

But there was something off about what he said.

He spoke like that, did he seem worried at all?

No!

Even if this hadn’t been his doing, he definitely knew something.

”Try to contact outside.”

”No... No, the teleportation array has failed, and we can’t contact the outside.”

”.....” Karson had no idea what expression to display.

Karson’s eyebrows twitched a few times, deciding to first address the issue with Elsa and Nina.

With no one available outside, the only useful person here was Chuzheng.

”Classmate Xue Laiya, state your conditions; what would it take for you to agree to save them?”

”I lack nothing.”

”Lord Karson, their condition is worsening!!”

Chuzheng’s voice was drowned out by the sounds from the array.

”Classmate Xue Laiya, if you help with this, I can assure you that you can work directly for the Magic Association in the future.”

Karson’s words caused a slight stir among the crowd.

But considering Elsa and Nina, those two little ancestors, saving them and getting a position from the Magic Association didn’t seem like too much.

After all, the Magic Association had a lot on its plate, and all magicians had to be utilized wisely, so many unimportant positions were actually filled by ordinary people.

Chuzheng looked puzzled: ”Do you think I lack a job opportunity?”

Karson had been in the ruins recently and didn’t know about the happenings outside.

It was someone nearby who explained to him, and only then did he understand the feats of the person standing before him; his expression inevitably changed.

Someone who could casually spend three hundred million, could they lack money?

The key point was she was Charles’s stepdaughter...

Wait, as a stepdaughter, wasn’t she more obliged to help? By relation, Elsa was her sister!

Karson hadn’t yet sorted out the confusion in his mind when the magic array started up again.

Karson left Chuzheng aside and immediately turned back.

Elsa and Nina looked pale, and whether it was an illusion or not, it seemed like their bodies had shrunk a size.

The young master carried himself tactfully over to Chuzheng: ”Actually, you could agree to Karson’s proposal.”

”Why should I agree?”

The young master spoke softly: ”You could forgo his offer and have him do something for you in the future.”

”Not necessary.”

Suo Wei: ”...”

The young master seemed a tad irritated, shifting a little further away from Chuzheng.

-

Suo Wei sat nonchalantly on a chair from who-knows-where, idly playing with the gold coin.

Karson emerged again and walked directly toward Suo Wei.

”Young Master Suo Wei, could you lend a hand?”

The young master tilted his head slightly, smiling: ”Mr. Karson...”

Before he could finish, Karson interjected: ”The item you want, once we’re out, I’ll have it delivered to the Colosseum.”

”Hmm...” The young master momentarily paused the spinning coin, clasped it in hand: ”Alright then. However... regardless of the outcome, the condition stands.”

Karson clenched his fist: ”Deal!”

The young master rose joyfully, his steps brisk and light.

Once Suo Wei was inside, Chuzheng naturally had to follow.

Everyone kept a cautious distance from the magic array, with some standing between the boundary. Some comforted Elsa and Nina, while others stood together in discussion, their anxious faces evident.

As Chuzheng entered, the surrounding students instinctively made some room.

Wuno followed inside, ending up beside Chuzheng.

Chuzheng glanced at him: ”What element is your master?”

Wuno took a while to process that Chuzheng was talking to him.

Another moment passed before he understood the context of Chuzheng’s question.

”Miss Xue Laiya, regarding the young master, I can’t disclose much.”

Chuzheng: ”Then if the magic array devours people, are you sure it’s wise to let him go in?”

Wuno answered cautiously: ”The young master knows his limits.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Alright then.

If he’s courting death, it’s no business of mine.

Chuzheng gazed toward the magic array, observing the boy exchange a few words with Karson, his figure suddenly vanishing in a blink.

Next, he appeared within the magic array.

Chuzheng’s heart skipped a beat; her hands in her pockets involuntarily clenched as she quickly considered various rescue plans.

Unexpectedly, the boy stood in the magic array without any oddities arising.

He simply stood there amidst the light and then lifted his foot, kicking Nina out.

Chuzheng: ”...”

The sudden change took everyone by surprise; just as Nina left the magic array, Chuzheng saw Suo Wei’s face shift slightly, his body flickering rapidly, almost like a video glitching.

The surrounding light allowed no one to notice this detail.

Suo Wei stood still inside, unresponsive despite several prods from Karson.

”Young Master!” Wuno noticed something amiss and dashed forward.

Karson stopped him: ”Don’t approach.”

”Out of the way!!”

”This magic array absorbs magical elements; entering will trap you!” Karson shouted, sternly blocking Wuno.

Chuzheng: ”...” Serves you right for getting into trouble!

[Is it really the time for snide remarks, Miss Sister? What should you be doing right now? As a successor to socialism, what should you be doing!!] King’s Account roared with life.

Chuzheng: ”...” Watching the show? Maybe clap?

[...Your Good Person Card!]

Oh, right!

Just knew you’d bring me trouble.

Of what use is he!

After mulling it over with disdain, she flexed her wrist and approached the magic array. Karson caught a glimpse of Chuzheng, was about to speak, but she had already leaped into the center of the array in a few steps.

”Why did you come in?”

The boy looked up to see Chuzheng by his side, then found his wrist being gripped, and heard the girl’s cold and clear voice in his ear: ”To bring you out.”

He quickly reversed his grip on her, a hint of a smile on his lips, his voice low: ”How do you know I can’t get out?”
