Venue
Eliza was in a bind right now, she did not know how to get Lucy to leave the auction house with her before the security threw them out. Even though Lucy understood what was going on her mental health quirks did not allow her to act on it, instead, she gets fixated on things and would not leave the auction house without winning the energy sword card. But that was not possible since they were being expelled from the auction house. Just when Eliza thought to use desperate means, Imock Lucy unconscious and carry her out of the auction house, she saw a figure make his way out of the crowd surrounding them. Then her eyes shone as the solution to her predicament docilely followed behind him.
"What is going on here?" Cheng asked the chief of security. "Reporting to the association head, that girl summoned her grimoire to use her cards, and these two are causing a commotion disturbing our guests, violating the auction house rules. Following the rules of the auction house, we are expelling all the parties directly involved with the incident from the auction house," the Chief of security saluted Cheng before answering him. "Um, I see..." just when Cheng was about to ask the Chief of security to overlook this incident and let the offenders free, the middle-aged woman yelled, "Association head, he is lying. That bitch tried to kill me, only then did I cry for help. I did nothing wrong. Why am I being expelled from the auction house." "You..." Hearing the middle-aged woman call him a liar in front of the card creationist association head the chief of security was enraged, he regretted not ordering his men to drag this vile woman and throw her out of the auction house earlier.
Cheng did not respond to the middle-aged woman, instead, he turned to look at the chief of security and said, "Access the surveillance feed and check what happened." "Yes, sir," the Chief of security immediately summoned his grimoire and accessed the surveillance feed monitoring the nine energy sword cards floating in the glass columns. And watching the footage of the incident he sneered at the middle-aged woman and forwarded the footage to Chen&
As Cheng watched the footage forwarded to him by the chief of security, I used the Hive AI to get the live feed of what Cheng was watching. Apparently, it all started with the middle-aged woman bidding for the energy sword card that Lucy bid for. Every time the middle-aged woman bid for the card, Lucy would counter her bid by adding the minimum bid of one low soul jade. The middle-aged woman was tolerant the first time, second time, and third time but the fourth time she lost calm feeling that Lucy was taunting her and purposely increasing the bid for this particular energy sword. So she snapped at Lucy yelling, "Bitch, you going too far? I am warning, you don't want to mess with me."
"I am not a bitch, a female dog is called a bitch," Lucy answered in her innocent way. Though lucy did not say anything offensive, the middle-aged woman still took offense as in her mind nobody was allowed to talk back to her. So she lashed out yelling, "Who are you calling a bog, you bitch." Being yelled at, Lucy was confused and agitated not understating why she was being yelled at for. From her perspective, Everything the middle-aged woman did or say made no sense. So she was unable to come up with a proper response to respond to the middle-aged woman and ended up choosing to stay silent, which to the insecure middle-aged woman's eyes seemed like Lucy was looking down on her.
Enraged, the middle-aged woman lunged at Lucy and grabbed hold of her hair, pulling hard on it the middle-aged woman yelled, "Now, do you think it's funny, bitch?" Lucy did not understand what the current social protocol dictated but she did feel that the lady opposite to her was being hostile toward her yet she still failed to react to the middle-aged woman's assault. Things escalated quickly, Lucy was frightened, and feeling the need to defend herself she ended up summoning her grimoire and activating her origin card. Fortunately for the middle-aged woman, Eliza stepped in time to stop Lucy. Otherwise considering the firepower of Lucy's dessert cannon the middle-aged woman would have been blown into a blood and gore shower. After going through the surveillance footage it was clear that everything stemmed from a misunderstanding but the middle-aged woman had instigated the fight and Lucy was only defending herself. So it was not hard to conclude that all the fault lay in the middle-aged woman. Now that we had the evidence, I ordered Cheng to help Eliza and Lucy to press charges against the middle-aged woman. "What are you looking at? Detain that woman until the end of the auction," Cheng ordered the chief of security and then turn to Eliza and Lucy he added, "I will share the surveillance footage of the incident with you if you want to press charges against her." Following Cheng's verdict, the chief of security asked the female security to escort the woman to the drunk tank and detain her there until the auction ended. Being manhandled by the female security the middle-aged woman started yelling, "Don't touch me I did nothing wrong, you guys are conspiring against me, my son will not let this go." "Association head thank you for your help but we will not be pressing charges," pressing charges meant Lucy testifying which was another headache that Eliza choose to avoid by deciding not to press charges against the middle-aged woman.
"Okay, then. Suit yourself," Cheng agreed with Eliza's decision. "Unhand my mother, what the heck do you think you are doing!" A deafening shout sounded throughout the auction house..
