Little Jeanne's Embarrassing Past

What merchant wouldn't praise their own products?

The Meifen had no awareness of lying and considered it a matter of course.

"This cross isn't the one used to bind Jeanne d'Arc of Arc!" Vignette exclaimed angrily, loudly accusing the Meifen.

Perhaps it was because Satania was also deceived today that her long-standing dissatisfaction had reached its peak.

"I quit! You two unscrupulous and greedy businessmen!"

Meifen quickly grabbed her, "That won't do, we agreed on that beforehand."

Vignette was furious and flung her hand away, saying, "I don't want the wages anymore, I'm leaving right now!"

Seeing the argument between Vignette and the Meifen, Roman finally stepped out from behind the counter to mediate.

"Vignette, don't be angry. Actually, that cross really was used to bind Jeanne d'Arc."

Roman's words immediately drew Vignette's attention to him.

"I thought you were a good person, boss, but I never expected you guys to be in cahoots."

"How could that cross have bound Jeanne d'Arc? If you're going to lie, at least come up with a better reason!" Vignette said indignantly.

"Calm down, calm down."

Roman pressed his hands down, signaling Vignette not to get so agitated.

"That cross was indeed used to bind Jeanne d'Arc, but she was a little different from the Jeanne d'Arc you imagine."

Vignette sneered, "You're talking about someone else named Jeanne d'Arc, aren't you?"

"I'm leaving, and I'm never coming back! You swindler!"

Vignette stormed out of the store, ignoring the Roman. She decided she would never put up with this again and that she might as well quit the job.

Beep... beep... beep...

Satania's phone went unanswered, Vignette wanted to find Satania first and get her to return the fake heart.

But Satania doesn't answer the phone, and no one knows what she's doing.

Left with no other choice, she went to where Yuxian were staying, as she desperately needed someone to confide in about her frustrations.

I quit my job in a fit of anger, without even asking for this month's wages. The days ahead will be even harder.

"Vignette, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

When Mash saw Vignette enter with a pained expression, she quickly went up to her and asked what was wrong.

"It's all because of those unscrupulous businessmen. I couldn't take it anymore, so I quit!"

Vignette spoke ill of Roman and the Meifen in a bitter tone; she rarely got this angry.

"What happened?"

Yuxian walked over and asked. In his impression, Vignette was a devil with a particularly good temper. It was really rare to find someone who could make her unable to stand him.

"Tell me what you think. If it's true, we'll go together and help you get your salary back."

After all, Vignette had spent some time with Yu Xian and the Yuxian, and they could be considered friends.

When friends are in trouble, we should naturally step forward to help; if we can, we should certainly do so.

Moreover, Yuxian also wanted to see what kind of person could make Vignette so angry.

This is why they encountered Vignette, an atypical demon; if it were Gabriel, the world might have already been destroyed.

Vignette took the tea that Mash offered her and gulped it down in large mouthfuls.

"That's a shady shop. They claim to sell antiques, but everything they sell is fake!"

After drinking the water, Vignette slowly recounted her ordeal.

"Today we sold a cross, which cost a full 100,000 yuan!"

Yuxian asked curiously, "What kind of cross is worth so much money?"

"That's the crux of the matter," Vignette said. "They actually said it was the cross on Saintess of Jeanne d'Arc was bound! Isn't that ridiculous?"

Yuxian and Mash exchanged a glance; they both felt it was going too far.

Moreover, in their minds, the shop owner was already on their blacklist; Jeanne d'Arc was not someone anyone could desecrate.

If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll lose face when they meet Jeanne d'Arc in the future.

Little Jeanne Arc was playing with her friends when she heard this, and she couldn't sit still anymore.

"Who are they! I'm going to go and beat them up!"

She was furious. They were blatantly using their names; she couldn't tolerate it.

The children all stepped forward and said they were willing to go with Little Jeanne.

Just as the group was preparing to denounce the unscrupulous merchant, a commotion arose upstairs.

"What happened?"

Aren't Gabriel and Osakabehime living upstairs? It looks like they're fighting.

Could the two of them have gotten into a fight over the game?

The matter of questioning and accusing was temporarily put aside, and everyone hurried upstairs to check the situation.

Before they even reached the top of the stairs, at the bottom of the stairs, they heard Satania's arrogant voice.

"Gabriel, I have finally defeated you! From this day forward, you shall tremble at the feet of the Great Demon Satania!"

"It's Satania fighting with Gabriel."

Vignette was anxious; both of them were her friends, and she would be very sad if either of them got hurt.

She rushed up the stairs in two strides, shouting, "Don't fight!"

Chapter 26, Section 397 Little Jeanne's Dark History

Vignette rushed over, only to find that Satania and Gabriel were not fighting.

Satania laughed wildly and said, "Gabriel, you finally admit that I have defeated you."

"Yes, yes, you won. Hurry up and go, I still want to play the game." Gabriel looked at Satania with an annoyed expression, wanting nothing more than to get rid of her as soon as possible.

The outcome was irrelevant to her; Satania thought that if she won, then she won.

"Hahahaha! I, the Great Demon Satania, am indeed the most powerful!"

Satania was very satisfied with Gabriel's attitude and believed that she had really defeated Gabriel, which made her feel extremely accomplished.

Vignette blinked. What was going on? Gabriel and Satania didn't look like they had just fought.

She asked, "What happened? Why was there such a loud noise just now? You guys really weren't fighting?"

Gabriel rolled her eyes. She was just playing games at home, when Satania inexplicably came to her and wanted to have a showdown.

She was so annoyed that she just casually agreed to get rid of Satania.

Unexpectedly, a loud noise suddenly came from the room, startling Satania.

She was feeling irritable right now, and didn't want to answer Vignette's questions. She was very annoyed.

Upon seeing Vignette, Satania immediately proclaimed, "Vignette, I defeated Gabriel! It's true!"

Knowing Satania's personality, Vignette followed up by asking, "How did you win? And what was that sound just now?"

Satania launched into a long and detailed explanation, describing the process in vivid and extraordinary detail, making it seem like an unprecedented event.

Finally, she added, "That demon heart I bought from your shop, it really is a treasure, I..."

"Wait a minute!" Vignette interrupted Satania. "You said that sound just now was made by that heart thing?"

"Yes, you have no idea how much effort I put into researching it, and I finally figured out how to use it," Satania said smugly.

"Give it to me!" Vignette held out her hand in front of Satania, her expression serious.

"What do you mean, bring it here?" Satania asked, puzzled, not understanding what Vignette was talking about.

"That thing! It's that heart you bought!" Vignette said. "It's a fake. I'm going to return it and get my money back."

Satania immediately clutched her pocket, looking at Vignette suspiciously. "No way! This is a treasure I finally found; I can't possibly return it."

She assumed Vignette had come to collect a debt. The Demon's Heart was being sold for such a low price; the price must have been wrong. The things she bought from the demon world's TV shopping channel were much more expensive.

"You've been scammed! That's fake!"

Vignette said through gritted teeth, "Give it to me now, we can still return it."

"No! I've bought it, so it's mine. There's no way I'm going to return it."

Satania refused without hesitation, and the two faced off.

"Let's talk inside, don't stand here."

Yuxian didn't know the specifics, but it was obviously inappropriate for a group of people to stand there, so he invited everyone to go inside and discuss the matter slowly.

Once downstairs in the house, Vignette and Satania started arguing again.

Vignette was convinced that Satania had been scammed, while Satania refused to return the goods no matter what.

The two were locked in a stalemate, which was really frustrating to watch.

Yuxian couldn't help but ask, "What is this 'heart' thing you're talking about?"

He realized that the disagreement between Vignette and Satania lay in this object: one believed it was fake, while the other thought it was real.

Vignette said, "Satania, show it to everyone."

"No! This is mine, you're just going to take it away."

Satania clutched her pocket tightly, watching everyone warily.

Vignette was furious, her scalp tingling with rage, and she glared fiercely at Satania.

"Fine, you can only take a look, you absolutely cannot take it away." Satania, somewhat afraid of the angry Vignette, reluctantly pulled the Demon's Heart from her pocket.

A brightly colored, purple heart appeared in Satania's hand.

It doesn't pulsate, nor does it have that physical texture; instead, it's more like an industrially manufactured work of art.

However, Yuxian narrowed his eyes the moment he saw it; it was a familiar object.

He turned and looked at Mash to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

Mash nodded. "Senior, it is indeed the Demon's Heart."

Yuxian smiled. He ignored Satania and instead asked Vignette, "You just said that Satania bought this heart from the shop where you work?"

Vignette nodded.

Yuxian continued, "What's the owner's name?"

"The boss's name is Roman, and the boss's wife is called Meifen."

Upon hearing Vignette's answer, Yuxian revealed an expression of "I knew it."

The Demon's Heart is a controlled item in Chaldea; not just anyone can obtain it, and only a handful of people possess it.

The last time he heard Afu mention the Queen Sheba, he hadn't had a chance to ask Osakabehime about it. He rarely saw that guy and never had a good opportunity to meet him.

Now the news is coming to us on its own initiative.

Yuxian pursed his lips and said, "Vignette, your wages are settled."

"Huh?" Vignette looked at Yuxian in confusion. Why did he suddenly bring up wages?

Yuxian glanced at the demon heart that Satania was holding like a treasure and said, "This heart is real. Satania wasn't fooled."

"I told you this is a treasure, Vignette, you can't make me give it back," Satania quickly interjected.

"Not only is the heart real," Yuxian paused, "But even that cross you mentioned, it was indeed used to bind Jeanne d'Arc."

Yuxian glanced at Little Jeanne, who was hiding behind the crowd.
