Not only did Bianca pull Cornelius along to find their items to help Shannon complete her task, but she also recruited the other four members of the demon clan.
Together, the two groups now had 12 transactions in total.
Denim, somewhat familiar with Shannon, agreed without hesitation when he heard the plan.
The remaining three representatives from the Demon Control Agency, however, were left speechless. "Hey, have you guys forgotten…"
The direct instructions from Louise?
Knowing the surveillance talismans would broadcast the tournament live, the representative didn't finish his words. Nevertheless, everyone knew what he intended to say.
Regardless of the external factors, Shannon represented Seastone School of Mystic Arts in this tournament. No matter how one saw it, she was an opponent to them.
Why would they help her achieve her plan?
Faced with his doubt, Bianca felt utterly speechless. "Are you guys dumb? In this very case, we're not helping her; she's helping us instead."
It was a blatant win-win situation, and Bianca couldn't understand why her teammates would object.
Although the first three methods seemed challenging, it wouldn't be the case for Shannon herself. If she wanted to, she could have easily advanced through the first duel within an hour.
"Though Shannon is representing the mystic arts community, she's also our fellow classmate at Zaprath School—and your colleague at the DCA! How could you be so indifferent?"
Bianca pressed her hand to her chest with a look of heartache and said, "It's precisely because of demons like you, who can't differentiate right from wrong, that we have such a bad reputation among humans…"
The three demons who were suddenly reprimanded fell silent.
How did their individual actions get generalized to the entire demon clan's reputation? And they didn't even do anything wrong!
Although Shannon was their colleague from the Demon Control Agency, she was also affiliated with mystic schools, the Special Security Agency, and even Mystic!
She was far from being loyal and committed—how could they be blamed for being indifferent?
This small fee could be in the form of points or extra items they had.
However, since the difficulty of the redemption conditions varied, it was possible that they could pay the payment but still not manage to get their own item.
In that case, Shannon would step in and, following the rules, hand over any items with official markings that remained unredeemed to the participants who had already made the payment.
By using the third method in the rules, they could exchange another official item for their own official item.
She explained, "With the limitations of items with official markings, there will, inevitably, be a few items that cannot be redeemed by their original owners or other participants due to the harsh conditions.
"Therefore, I've added a rule."
Shannon pointed at Elliot, who was beside her, busily writing another batch of tags.
"The tags over here are for items that participants can't redeem because the conditions are too difficult, and they can't afford the required payment for other items. As such, these items can be used for trading."
