Ainsley shifted her butt on her bed while harrumphing at the person on the other side of the phone.
"Humph, humph! We haven't talked a lot for months, and the first thing you ask me is about the live auction!"
Ainsley didn't bother to use her baby language anymore, but Jake still found her voice so cute that his heart melted into puddles.
"There, there, don't be angry. I was really busy the past few months and can't even find a place with a good signal."
Jake chuckled as he rushed to coax Ainsley before continuing his words.
"But really, when I heard that your last trial to become a high-ranking mafia turns out to be a live auction, I'm so shocked! How could you not tell me about this?"
If Jake had known sooner, he would have been able to support Ainsley.
Maybe he could provide the item that Ainsley could auction, or he would be the one buying Ainsley's auctioned item at such a high price.
After all, his relationship with Ainsley wasn't limited to his goodwill to the baby.
Thanks to Ainsley's unique taming ability, the Billios Family had gained more high-level monsters as their guardian monsters.
It was all thanks to their relationship with Ainsley.
Not to mention that she also let the Billios Family auction some unique potions to other non-human races, and these potions were all made by Axelle, Ainsley's alchemist.
The Billios Family had only gained more momentum after knowing Ainsley. This time, Jake wasn't the only one who was fond of Ainsley.
Even the Billios Family's higher-ups were pleased, and their intuition told them that befriending Ainsley would only bring them more benefits than ever.
Plus the fact that most of the Billios Family's higher-ups were elderly, Ainsley was like a cherished granddaughter that everyone wanted to boast about.
Her close relationships with countless massive guilds alone helped the Billios Family integrate more into the guilds' little world.
It's true that the Billios Family was already acquaintances with several guilds and had many cooperations, but with Ainsley's connection, they gained more than before.
After all, Ainsley had a strong business relationship with the Alchemist, Monster Tamer, and Shaman Guild.
She also had a close personal relationship with the Summoner and Monster Tamer Guild. Now, her family even had cooperation with the Healer Guild!
In Billios Family's eyes, Ainsley is just like a sweet cake that everyone wants to eat. How could they obstruct their family head from forming a close relationship with this sweet cake?
If anything, they wanted nothing but to snatch this 'orphan' to their side, okay?
Recalling the oldies in his family's words about Ainsley, Jake felt even more proud of his little friend.
"Look, little Godtoddler. If I have known earlier that you will auction something, I'd prepare my money and precious items to buy anything you want to auction."
Jake didn't explain why he wanted to do that, but Ainsley already understood what he wanted to do.
Isn't he blatantly showing his intention to support Ainsley as the tournament's champion?
No matter how bad the item she would auction off, Jake swore that he would pay more than other items auctioned off.
Warmth filled Ainsley's heart as her lips curved into a sweet smile. Jake didn't talk to her as often as others, but once he made a move, he couldn't help but touch her heart.
If she had this kind of father or older brother, how nice would it be?
Ainsley giggled as she replied to Jake in a slightly coy voice.
"Hehehe, sorry, Jake, I should have told you sooner. Anyway, now that you know, you have to participate, okay? It will be better if you can attend in person."
With Jake's status, he would have been able to snatch a spot to attend the auction in person despite the mafia council's limited slots.
Of course, that's only if Jake wasn't busy.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll attend. The auction is tomorrow at 8 p.m, isn't it? I don't have any job to do. I'll come."
The auction would be held at the capital, and Jake was already at the capital. It was Ainsley who had to rush for hours to go to the capital.
Other participants had long departed but Ainsley was delayed because she supervised the Pandora Treasure Island's development.
In fact, she had already packed her stuff and was now ready to depart. Jake's call was the one holding her back.
"Hum. Since the auction will be held at the capital, let's meet after the auction! A few days after the tournament is closed, I want to invite you to discuss something formally."
Ainsley actually already sent the invitation to the thirteen allies involved in Pandora Treasure Island's project.
She knew all the people in charge of these thirteen allies, so she didn't worry about them betraying her. Anyway, they would make an oath regarding this alliance…
And so, Ainsley had spread the invitation to these thirteen allies to spend Christmas Eve with her.
There's no concept of Christmas here, so Ainsley took the chance to invite all the potential allies to have a small party before her family attended the coronation at the end of the year.
She was already sure that the Sloan Family would snatch the tournament's top 10 winners, so she had arranged all things to follow her plan.
When Jake heard that Ainsley even sent a formal invitation, he knew that the baby was serious.
There must be something important she wanted to discuss.
Jake's tone of voice immediately changed.
"It seems that what you want to discuss with me is serious...it's okay, we can take the chance to discuss the previous agreement with my mom too. I'll be waiting!"
