Liu Zheng suggested.
"This is your real goal, isn't it? Cunning human."
The French Plane Tree looked at him sideways.
"That's right."
He admitted frankly.
To go up against a Peacock on his own was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Even in a barter system, the odds weren't great.
But with the French Plane Tree on board, it was different. With this wealthy tycoon involved, the odds improved significantly.
"Hmm..."
The French Plane Tree hesitated.
"Are you worried about offending her?"
Liu Zheng goaded.
"Hmph, in an auction, it's all about skills. If you fear offending someone, then what kind of collector are you?"
The French Plane Tree indeed took the bait.
"I think so too. Our Mr. Delago is of noble birth, with outstanding quality, and unmatched ability; how could he be afraid of a bird-man?"
"Besides, she's just a Peacock, while you're about to evolve into a Phoenix; you shouldn't even consider her a threat."
He immediately piled on the flattery.
