Chapter 48 - Francisco? (Part 2)

Francisco's face slightly changed. What was the meaning of this? Did the Red Espiritual Net already know about their tricks?

"In that case, create a new account," Francisco said impatiently.

Luka had long forgotten his fear due to the panic in his heart. He had also thrived on the Red Espiritual Net, not much worse than Hector. After a while, he managed to obtain a new account.

As soon as he contacted the Red Espiritual Net staff to inquire about the situation, the staff on the other side said they were looking for him and then sent him a message almost identical to the one Hector received.

Francisco pushed him aside and questioned the staff himself, "Why was my account blocked? Why can the No. 1 Artificer Shop reopen? I've already submitted evidence. At the very least, you should give me a clear answer. Otherwise, I won't accept it. I lost 12 million in exchange for two useless artifacts. Who's responsible for my losses? I want an answer!"

"Sir, we have already contacted Ashe regarding your issue. Regarding the image evidence you submitted, Ashe has explained the situation and provided evidence to clear her name. Our decision is made based on a fair and reasonable assessment," the staff replied.

"What evidence?" Francisco asked, his face contorted with anger.

"The artifacts in the images you submitted are not the ones she sold, and she has raised an objection as well. If there was an issue with the artifacts, why did you wait several days to bring it up?" the staff explained.

"That's impossible. The artifacts in the pictures are genuine, and how can she prove that the ones we have are not her? I had someone else receive the package for me because I wasn't in the country at the time, so naturally, there was a delay," Francisco argued.

"Your explanation regarding the timing is acceptable, and we did consider the evidence you mentioned. We inquired with Ashe at the time, and Ashe provided evidence. It was based on that evidence that we made the correct decision," the staff explained.

Francisco clenched his teeth. "What evidence?"

"Didn't you notice? The artifacts Ashe sells each have a unique symbol on them," the staff sent several images to him. "This is evidence provided by other buyers, and indeed, every artifact has a symbol on it. Furthermore, we've also taken statements from the courier company's employee, who confirmed that the artifacts you received were different from what he saw. Do you have anything else to say?"

A sudden buzzing sound.

Francisco stared at the images the staff had sent him, his face turning pale, and his eyes bloodshot. He recognized them. Three of the four images were of the artifacts purchased by Samuel, and the very ones that had dealt him a devastating blow was turned out to be his best friend.

In a fit of rage, Francisco immediately called Samuel, momentarily forgetting that he had already severed ties with him.

"Young Master Francisco..." Luka cautiously watched him, given his furious state.

"Get lost!" Francisco's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious.

Luka dared not speak to him any further.

"Francisco?" Samuel saw Francisco calling him, and his surprised expression gradually faded as he observed Francisco's appearance. He probably understood the reason for Francisco's call.
