Pushover Extra Trains the Villainesses

“That woman…she should be… ”

The silver-haired woman got the winning a bid after fierce competition. 

And, Bahamut recognized who she was the moment he saw her. 

‘I found her more easily than I thought.’

She was the skilled female swordsman who had sparred with Ophelia not long ago.

Back then, even though Ophelia had won by using psychological warfare, Bahamut could see that the woman was quite a strong person, and from the way she acted, she was probably hiding her strength. 

Honestly, Ophelia wouldn’t have any chance of winning if they seriously fought head-on.

‘Apart from that…I never thought she’d be participating in an auction like this. Is she personally choosing what she wants to buy? Or for her master or someone else…’

It was not clear, but one thing was clear—that the silver-haired woman had considerable wealth.

No matter how much her opponent increased the bid, she confidently added a silver coin and ended up winning the bid.

It was a tactic that helped hide her wealth as much as possible, but on the other hand, it was also an act that proved that she had enough capital in her possession.

Meanwhile, Bertina, who was watching the situation by Bahamut’s side, was looking at the woman from a slightly different perspective.

‘That woman… she doesn’t show it openly, but she is quite intelligent…’

Usually, when the price of an item suddenly increased at an auction like this, it was inevitable for one to feel a considerable amount of psychological pressure.

When you receive a shock that exceeds your expectations, you feel shaken, and at the same time, you begin to overestimate your opponent. As a result, you end up giving up on the challenge even though you have more than enough ability to go on.

On the other hand, raising the price bit-by-bit, as the woman did now, may have also caused the other party to feel annoyed. Depending on the situation, it might have caused the opponent to raise the price unreasonably.

There was a difference between kicking an opponent away with a hard punch and sticking to their side like a persistent fly, then scratching their nerves, and making them give up.

It was obvious which one would take a long time and was cumbersome from the point of view of a buyer.

‘Nevertheless, choosing this method…might not just be for the purpose of buying the auction items. She’s enjoying spoiling the other person’s mood.’

At first glance, she seemed calm, but for that silver-haired woman, the current situation might be a kind of game with another competitor.

Someone who likes to fearlessly play with people who have wealth and fame, but at the same time possesses the financial power to carry it out.

Though still unsure of her true identity, Bertina began to calmly observe the woman’s actions, thinking that she was definitely not a normal person.

***

The auction for clothes and jewelry was finally coming to an end, highlighted by the unveiling of the treasure that had been considered the most precious among all the trade items.

Helpers carefully carried the cloth-covered auction item to the center stage.

Shortly after it reached the center of the stage, the presenter shouted with immense excitement.

“The item to be introduced this time is the supreme jewel that the Emperor of Inkia tried to obtain even by going to war. It is the Heart of Incra!”

As the presenter finished talking, a cloth was removed, revealing a huge amber stone shining with a golden light, almost the size of a human head. 

Immediately after that, voices of admiration flowed from the mouths of those present.

The item was elaborately crafted, and it was clear that it was not an object of ordinary value.

“This is one of the most expensive items in the auction. Honestly, it’s so precious that I think it would be a waste to put a price on it, but…”

Staring at the item on stage, Bertina secretly looked into Bahamut’s eyes. 

However, Bahamut slowly shook his head.

“It’s fine. Just dispose of it here. We got our hands on it by luck, and there’ll be nothing good for us to hold on to such an amazing item.”

“Hmm…well, let’s do that.”

To be honest, Bertina felt a bit regretful, but there was some truth in Bahamut’s words.

It was an item that the Emperor of a country tried to get his hands on even by starting a war.

A treasure that has such a great value would surely become an object that inflamed the greed of those in power.

It was better to cleanly deal with things that could cause trouble in the future through a legitimate process as much as possible.

Of course, they could also keep it by taking the risk. But the amber stone in front of their eyes wasn’t something that the two of them had the ability to digest. They would have to keep it locked away in a corner of some secret vault without ever being used. 

So they judged that it would be better to just sell it and use the profit to develop their business.

And apart from the personal inclinations of the two, the huge amber gem in front of them has already started to ignite the desires of the people present in the auction.
