Weber was about to scold her a few more times when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the communication crystal in Scarlett's hand. The diamond membership logo of Arcane Pictures was shining on it. Wow, she was actually a diamond member and had even purchased advanced on-demand service, allowing her to watch the popular series "Duel King" in advance.
Weber's eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if he had discovered a new world. He excitedly grabbed Scarlett's wrist and said expectantly, "My dear granddaughter, you are actually a diamond member of Arcane Films? Your grandfather didn't even spend so much money to become a member. Come on, lend me your account. I want to watch the new episode of "Duel King"."
Seeing this, Scarlett curled her lips in dissatisfaction and complained, "Now I have become your good granddaughter again!"
"Hey, you've always been my good granddaughter, haven't you?" Weber couldn't care less about her complaints at the moment, and urged her anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up, I heard that diamond members can bind three family accounts!"
Scarlett was very reluctant but still shared the account. She continued to be unforgiving: "You are still a demigod. I have never seen a demigod as poor as you."
"Ha!" Waver raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and asked, "How many demigods have you met? You said I'm poor?"
"Grandpa Hoyd, Grandpa Jones..." Scarlett counted on her fingers one by one.
"Do they have money?" Weber asked.
Scarlett was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that all those demigod old men who hung out with her grandfather were extremely poor.
The last time she saw Grandpa Jones, he paid for the wine himself. Scarlett felt helpless when she thought of this.
"Granddaughter, it's not that grandpa doesn't want to help you. Just think about it, who owns the Arcane Academy?" Weber looked at Scarlett with helplessness in his eyes.
"Um... yours?" Scarlett answered tentatively. After all, it seemed okay to say it was Merlin's now.
"Who solved the deficit of the Arcane Academy? Who holds the financial power now?" Weber asked two more questions.
Scarlett was silent for a moment, and then she seemed to understand something and whispered, "It's Merlin."
“That’s it,” Waver sighed, his face full of bitterness, “Not to mention that you owe Merlin money, even I am no exception. If you calculate it carefully, the money I owe Merlin is thousands or even tens of thousands times more than you!”
Waver sighed heavily again and said earnestly, "Granddaughter, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want to help you, but I really can't help you."
After hearing what her grandfather said, Scarlett felt a sudden surge of complex emotions in her heart. Only then did she realize that her grandfather seemed to be having a hard time as well.
It turns out that the creditor of both the grandfather and grandson is Merlin. No matter how they think about it, they feel that there is a sense of fate that they cannot escape, as if they are tightly covered by an invisible net and cannot break free.
Webber and Scarlett, the grandparents, stood facing each other, and for a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant.
After a long while, Weber seemed to have lost all his strength and sighed heavily. That sigh was filled with helplessness and vicissitudes.
At this moment, Weber seemed to be suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration. An idea flashed through his mind. He raised his head slightly, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright. Then he couldn't wait to speak.
"Granddaughter, tell me what you think of Merlin?"
"What?" Scarlett was confused by the question. Her small eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her eyes were full of confusion. She didn't react to the deep meaning of her grandfather's words for a while.
"Ahem," Weber cleared his throat, his eyes showing some shrewdness and expectation. He raised his hand and touched his chin, as if he was considering some important decision. Then, with a shrewd light flashing in his eyes, he said word by word, "What do you think of Merlin being my grandson-in-law?"
Scarlett was stunned at first, but she was very smart and reacted immediately. To be honest, in her heart, Merlin was quite outstanding. He was impeccable in both talent and character.
But when she thought of Yuna and Stacy, she felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head. She quickly shook her head and said in rapid succession, "Grandpa, do you think I haven't considered this? But do you know who my opponents are? They are Yuna and Stacy! As long as it's about Merlin, those two people exude a dangerous aura that makes people shudder, as if they are two gods of war guarding Merlin. How dare I get close to them easily!"
As for Stacy and Yuna, Weber was well aware of their excellence.
His gaze slowly moved down and landed on his granddaughter, who had a flat little loli figure. He looked her up and down, and the initial expectation in his eyes dimmed in an instant. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: This gap is not a little bit, it is indeed quite big.
"What if, what if Merlin likes your type? Isn't the word 'loli' popular nowadays? Look, aren't you a real loli?" Weber persuaded desperately, trying to cheer up his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, as a demigod, what are you doing all day? What a mess you are watching..." Scarlett stared at her grandfather speechlessly.
"I can muster up the courage to compete with Stacy, but if I compete with Yuna, I'm really afraid that one day I won't even know what happened to me." Scarlett said, her body shaking slightly uncontrollably, as if she had seen Yuna's cold eyes, and her back went cold just thinking about it.
"What are you afraid of? A small Royal Chamber of Commerce, in my eyes, can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!" Weber raised his head, his breath almost coming out of his nostrils, and snorted with disdain on his face. The tone of his voice sounded as if he could destroy the Royal Chamber of Commerce with just a flick of his finger.
"Grandpa, you should read less fantasy adventure novels polished by the elves." Scarlett shook her head helplessly and sighed, turning around to leave.
But just as she raised her foot, she caught a glimpse of the card box hanging on her grandfather's waist out of the corner of her eye. Under the dim light, the card box exuded a mysterious and alluring luster.
Her steps suddenly stopped and she was stunned for a moment. Then, as if driven by an invisible force, she suddenly stretched out her hand.
"Hey! My dear granddaughter, what are you doing!" Seeing this, Weber's expression suddenly changed, and the wrinkles on his face began to tremble. He looked at Scarlett anxiously, and subconsciously protected the card box with his hands.
Scarlett tightly grasped the card box in her hand. After just one look, she was shocked and her voice rose several degrees: "Grandpa, you actually have a limited edition card box for Arena of Valor beta! There are only a hundred of these things in total, and yours is numbered 006. Do you know how much this thing is worth now?"
