The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

He only hated himself for being so clever, so perceptive for what!

He didn't know why.

At this moment, although Nancy's heart was filled with fear and despair, the image of Su Buxian suddenly appeared in her mind.

That guy...

When she went on stage, he had said that not everything would go smoothly and had even told her to consider asking for his help during the intermission, as if he were certain something would happen.

Could it be...

Nancy recalled Su Qi's mocking tone and immediately dismissed the thought.

Impossible...

Nancy felt her ideas were utterly absurd; that guy was just messing around, joking. How could he possibly have foreseen these events?

Haha...

Nancy let out a self-deprecating laugh in her heart.

Her thoughts were now completely chaotic.

She was actually indulging in wild thoughts.

And now, the last item of the first half of the auction was up for grabs, and the competitors for this final bid were surprisingly Young Master Ash and An Xinghe, while Young Master Youhai, who rarely missed out, was not participating.

He even seemed to be urging the two to be more harmonious, given there was still the second half to come.

An Xinghe's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's rare to see, are you actually playing the good guy here?"

Young Master Ash responded with a smile, "Just a bit of sarcasm, why bother?"

Their tone was no longer as calm as before, and their words carried a hint of emotion.

Young Master Youhai tapped on the armrest, "You're looking at me like this? Then I must be too innocent."

"I just think the time spent on one auction item has been dragged out too long... Wouldn't it be better to save the real competition for the more valuable items in the second half?"

Young Master Youhai even looked towards Nancy with an abnormal smile, "Presenter... Nancy, right, what do you think?"

With a lump in his throat, Nancy held the microphone, his hands and feet ice cold, but he still had to respond with a smile,

"As long as the Young Masters are happy, I'll cooperate however necessary."

His underlying message was a plea for mercy.

But Young Master Youhai did not speak again, and no one could guess its thoughts or intentions.

The last auction item fell into the hands of An Xinghe.

Nancy took a deep breath.

"So, that concludes the first half of our auction. And now is the intermission, a time to relax. Apart from audience interaction and random draws, we also have a performance provided by the respected Young Master Sunset!"

The celebrations at Stars Hall were grand, and naturally there wouldn't be much downtime.

Following the normal procedure, his segment still involved a lot of interactive draws, helping everyone relax.

But now.

Not a bit relaxed...

And then Nancy slowly snapped his fingers.

The whole stage changed accordingly, not only featuring machines for the lottery and interaction but also a piano stained with bloodstains slowly emerged on the platform.

At the same time.

Another figure appeared.

Nancy's pupils trembled.

Watching as the figure slowly lifted the microphone, waving and smiling toward the audience,

"Hello, everyone."

"I am the host for the intermission."

"I will be working with Nancy... to interact with you all."

Nancy fell into silence.

"...."

He couldn't have predicted that Su Qi would appear in this way.

He was even more surprised that the audience, including the three Young Masters, seemed to think it was entirely normal!

But now it all seemed irrelevant.

Nancy sighed inwardly and silently decided to see Su Qi safely off the stage.

After all, this guy appeared oblivious to the dire situation at hand and, whether intentionally or not, had offered to help him.

He didn't need to drag another person into this mess.
