The picture showed that Yang Jia in the hall on the third floor seemed to be facing the most embarrassing moment.
In Xiao Xiao's field of vision, the expressions of the red-eyed Ling Ping, Qiao Di Lao Zhou, the Big Snake sisters and others have not changed much. They even look more polite than before. But deep in their expressions, there is something hidden. Showing subtle feelings of pride and excitement.
Insights are very good at detecting such subtle emotions, and they are also easily irritated by such emotions.
This is why the seer route is often suspicious.
Xiao Xiao has the ability to think explosively and can digest his own negative emotions very well, so he will not be angered.
But he was still affected by the performance of these people, and he felt strongly dissatisfied.
"Yang Jia missed the only opportunity for her to get an intermediate contract..."
The previous events flashed through his mind quickly, and he vaguely guessed the truth: "You mean the incident in the Kingdom of Decay?"
"In the original plan, it was Yang Jia who was supposed to clean up the core of the rotten kingdom. We just went to help."
"But something happened. As a result, I got the opportunity to get an intermediate contract..."
"So, I actually stole her opportunity?"
"..."
The more I thought about it, the heavier I felt, as if I had done something to feel sorry for Yang Jia.
However, I had no other choice at the time...
…
…
While Xiao Xiao was thinking about this in surprise, in the living room on the third floor.
Yang Jia met the gazes of everyone around her, and there was a hint of complacency deep in their gazes, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
In fact, if it weren't for an observer like Xiao Xiao, who is better at observing other people's micro-expressions and potential emotions, almost no one would be able to see her expressions of disappointment or displeasure at this time. She just seemed normal. , raised his head and looked at the crowd:
"In this case, who among you is willing to inherit the old president's contract?"
"..."
Hearing her return question, everyone's eyes flickered slightly.
I don't know if Yang Jia is forcing herself to be calm, or if she has already faced the facts calmly, but her calmness makes those present a little uneasy.
After a moment of silence, Ling Ping with red eyes said: "Inheriting the old president's contract means inheriting his legacy, and taking on the responsibility of guiding the many strangers in Black Gate City... Of course, there are also the ones he left behind. Bring down the relics and the contents of the safe..."
"We don't think we have enough ability to undertake this, but since there are no other candidates in Black Gate City..."
"..."
"so……"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Jia interrupted him and said, "You haven't thought of a suitable candidate yet?"
Ling Ping was slightly startled, and they seemed to exchange glances.
Whether it was Ling Ping, who had a calm demeanor with red eyes, or Lao Zhou who was sitting in the corner, his expression hidden by the brim of his hat.
Or the two big snake sisters sitting together with their slender thighs and crossed legs.
Even the Silver Bullet family, who were not present.
When facing Yang Jia, they seemed to have a vaguely unanimous attitude toward the outside world, but they obviously did not reach a consensus among themselves.
Who can be convinced?
Ling Ping was silent for a moment and could only say: "Of course it is not easy to convince everyone."
"But I think we can find a harmonious way to find the most suitable candidate..."
"..."
He spoke impeccably and seemed to have already thought about how to respond to Yang Jia's inquiry.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jia interrupted him again and said directly:
"In other words, you also need to compete with each other to decide who will inherit the old president's contract?"
"So, how are you going to compete?"
"Are all the intermediate contractors in Black Gate City qualified to participate in the competition?"
"..."
"Why is she asking this?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts, and their suspicion suddenly arose.
Could it be that she still has a way to get the intermediate contract?
Or are there other options?
Mr. Ye?
The current knight contractors in Black Gate City are only the people present, the leader of the Silver Bullet Family, and Mr. Ye.
Among them, only Mr. Ye has always supported Yang Jia, but everyone understands that anyone can inherit the old president's contract, but Mr. Ye cannot. In this case, Yang Jia really has no way to deal with this dilemma. , how could she...
...Still so calm?
When doubts arose in his heart, Yang Jia leaned back slightly and looked at them quietly.
The invisible pressure also made them feel slightly depressed.
Yang Jia's strength as a branded person was too terrifying. No one could compete with her when they were separated. Therefore, after getting the unexpected surprise, they had already decided to join forces to kick her out first. Whoever wins the final victory among the others will be their own. It’s a human thing.
However, you can't do it too obviously. At least you have to be polite and leave more escape routes.
Therefore, facing the invisible pressure on Yang Jia at this time, he could only follow her tone and nod gently:
"nature."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ling Ping with red eyes added: "This is not a rule set by us, but determined by the will of the city."
"Everyone who has an intermediate contract in Black Gate City can participate in the competition."
"Even you, if you still have enough time, you can get the knight contract of Black Gate City and inherit it..."
"..."
Listening to Ling Ping's hesitant words, Old Zhou at the bottom of the bridge suddenly said: "However, it seems that the high-level contract has been awakened?"
"Yes."
Yang Jia nodded lightly and said: "As early as half a month ago, the high-level contract was awakened and waiting for inheritance."
"Moreover, I asked Mr. Ye to wake him up after discussing it."
"The purpose is so that a new Guild Master of Black Gate City can appear immediately after the incident in the Rotten Kingdom is resolved."
"..."
Speaking of this, a hint of self-mockery suddenly appeared on her face, and she said: "But you don't have to worry, I really don't have time to get the knight contract from Black Gate City. The ready-made B-level crisis of the Rotting Kingdom has been solved. , and other crisis incidents that had the potential to be promoted to Class B that were brewing in Black Gate City have been cleared up by me long ago, and it is difficult for them to appear in a short time."
"You can even understand that it was me who ruined all my options."
"..."
Listening to Yang Jia's casual narration, everyone present couldn't help but smile, but they just managed to hold on.
"laugh……"
Suddenly a chuckle rang out, but it was the younger sister among the Orochi sisters who couldn't hold back and laughed.
They are afraid of Yang Jia's strength, and are deeply afraid of the Dante organization behind Yang Jia.
But thinking of everything Yang Jia has done, I still can't help but feel playful:
This girl is too strong.
Ever since she returned to Black Gate City, she had been dissatisfied with everyone's performance.
He was not only dissatisfied with the fear of the Hell Organization by people like himself, but also sad at the death of the old president.
Therefore, as soon as she came back, she made it clear that she wanted to inherit the legacy of the old president.
She is more responsible than the local strangers in Black Gate City. She collects information, makes plans, and cleans up some aberrant creatures that may have an impact on Black Gate City. Among them, there are quite a few aberrant creatures that are very troublesome. , all cleaned up by her.
However, who would have thought that it was precisely because of her conscientiousness that she missed the last opportunity?
It's like shooting yourself in the foot?
Or the candlelight dinner that I tried my best to prepare, but got the advantage of the scumbag and the mistress?
This is undoubtedly a huge joke in the eyes of people who are dissatisfied with her, but to herself...
It must also be a huge blow, right?
…
…
"But all this doesn't matter."
Also in the eyes of these people, Yang Jia softly spoke again: "The purpose of my return to Black Gate City is to inherit the legacy of the old president. Even if it is not me who inherits, as long as someone is willing to continue the legacy of the old president, That’s okay, but today, since we are sitting here to discuss, of course we must at least reach a consensus, such as the principle of competing for the lord-level contract.”
"And the method."
"..."
Her frankness and competence actually made the atmosphere in the room calm down a little.
Old Zhou at the bottom of the bridge suddenly said: "Who can inherit the old president's contract depends on his ability, of course."
"But we do agree that if you want to inherit the old president's contract, you must first be the owner of the knight contract, and..."
"...You need to be willing to stay in Black Gate!"
"As for how to select such a person, we still need to discuss..."
"..."
After a pause, he added in a low voice: "After all, no one from the Silver Bullet family came here, and he is also qualified to participate in the competition."
His words seemed to emphasize the pronunciation of the word "qualification".
"Can!"
Yang Jia didn't seem to hear what he meant, and actually nodded happily, then stood up:
"I will wait for you to discuss a result."
"I just hope that you will remember what you said today, and once you get the result, you will not regret it again."
"Otherwise, I would also be angry..."
"..."
Everyone present heard that she was so happy, their expressions were a little dull, and they always felt that her reaction was a bit awkward.
After Yang Jia said this, she seemed to be unable to bear the atmosphere, so she turned around and walked downstairs.
"Wow..."
At the same time, Xiao Xiao's heart trembled slightly and he stood up violently.
As time passed, the atmosphere became slightly calmer, and people gradually began to discuss in low voices in the bar on the first floor. As Xiao Xiao suddenly stood up, the atmosphere became solemn again. Everyone was frightened and looked at Xiao Xiao. The direction looked over.
"What's wrong?"
Ruanruan and Xiaosi were also surprised and hurriedly stood up to ask.
Xiao Xiao had a calm face and whispered: "Yang Jia was bullied just now..."
"?"
Ruanruan and Xiaosi were both shocked and said in disbelief: "Who can bully Sister Jiajia?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned on the spot, thinking carefully about how to answer this.
After a long time, there was a bitter smile on his face:
"It seems to be me."
