Back to the present, he immediately asked Lucy the requirements for the competition, he might be able to find a suitable candidate to join the competition and win the trip to Ice World for him.
Lucy then took out her communication device and started reading the rules of the competition, as he continued to listen to her, his expression gradually became strange.
Lucy notices this and she anxiously asks "Is there any problem, big brother?"
