"Claire!" Yana shouted with a fierce little face.

Claire also anticipated this situation and pointed at the door behind her, "The door is not closed yet."

Yana was stunned. The momentum that had been brewing along the way dissipated in an instant. She turned her head and closed the door. She also knew that the things she would talk about next could not be heard by others. Claire also waved her hand and cast a soundproofing spell after she closed the door. Compared with physical soundproofing, spells were more reliable.

After closing the door, Yana puffed up his face again, intending to regain his fierce look just now.

But when I did this, I no longer felt the same as at the beginning. I could only shout loudly, "Did you sell things to those people?!"

"When I first got the news, I thought there was something wrong with my ears! How could you sell those things to those people!"

Claire calmly made a gesture of invitation, "Sit down first, and we don't need to be so subtle. I have set up a soundproofing spell."

Yana sat down on the sofa angrily, looking at Claire and humming. "You have to give me an explanation!"

Claire smiled and said, "The things Blazing Flame Orcs stole must appear on their bodies."

Hearing Claire's words, Yana's eyes widened and he pointed at Claire and said, "You were planning to sell the goods to Blazing Flame Orcs from the beginning, right?!" She realized now. She had always thought that Claire would find another buyer and wait for time to ship the goods.

Claire nodded. He did not tell her about this when he was discussing with Yana. Firstly, it was not necessary, and secondly, he was afraid that Yana would become cowardly. Now it looks like what he guessed. If Yana knew about it at that time, she would definitely be scared.

Yana jumped up again, and said with some fear in his tone, "Do you know what will happen to the two of us if this matter is revealed?"

"It's simple, then don't reveal it." Claire said with a confident smile.

Then Claire also stood up, pressed Yana on the sofa, and said, "What are you worried about?"

Yana replied without thinking, "You sold the equipment to Blazing Flame Orcs! This will have a great impact on the war! Didn't you hear? Those Blazing Flame Orcs got the equipment and defeated us in a recent battle!"

Claire blinked and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have feelings for this kingdom." This was not a sarcasm. Claire had no feelings for this kingdom. On the contrary, because of Norris, Vito, and Klee, Claire now felt a little disgusted with this kingdom.

Yana had a trace of doubt in his eyes, "What are you talking about? I don't have one."

"If you're not worried about losing the war, then what are you worried about?"

"I..." Yana opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Claire saw the other party's appearance and answered, "Let me tell you, you are worried that the seriousness of this matter will affect you, that's why you look like this now."

"But even if I don't sell anything to Blazing Flame Orcs, if it is revealed that we robbed Guen Family's supplies, will the end for both of us be any better?"

"Since the fate is the same, why are you afraid now?"

Yana was stunned when Claire said, yes, even if she didn't sell the equipment to Blazing Flame Orcs, then what she did with Claire was enough to be sentenced to death. What is she afraid of now.

"Then you should at least tell me." Yana muttered.

"I told you, do you still dare to do it?" Claire asked with a smile. This is just like asking you to steal something and you don't dare, but if you are asked to look out, many people will dare. But legally, this is a joint crime and the nature is the same.

"Hmph! You bad man! You actually deceived an ignorant girl!" Yana said fiercely.

"Okay, okay." Claire comforted, "That batch of equipment is worth 150 million. You can get 75 million. I will give you 5 million through legal channels in a few days."

After hearing Five Million, Yana's mood calmed down a lot, but he still asked slightly worriedly, "But is it really okay to do that?"

Claire smiled slightly, "If I could have discovered it, I would have discovered it a long time ago. Don't worry, I have grasped all the details. I have also re-cleaned and arranged the scene. I also burned the bodies of the two Archmage to ashes. Now everyone believes that it was Blazing Flame Orcs who did it."

"Then... okay." Yana nodded slowly, then suddenly looked at Claire, "Then remember to give me my money as soon as possible."

"I got it, little money fan."

So Yana, who originally rushed in angrily, now returned home humming a cheerful tune and jumping up and down.

After Claire sent Yana away, he didn't bother to study in the Royal Capital Magic Academy's library. He went to find Sophia and wanted to inquire more about Blazing Flame Plane. She is in a high position and must know more details than what is circulated outside.

After entering Sophia's room, there were more documents on the desk than what Claire saw last time.

Sophia saw the figure of Claire out of the corner of his eye and raised his head, "Why did you come to me when you had time? I thought you were so angry that you ran back to Nafu City."

"That's not the case." Claire smiled slightly, but after taking another look at the documents on the desk, Sophia took the initiative to complain, "Because Guen Family's goods were snatched away by Blazing Flame Orcs last time, the workload suddenly increased a lot."

Hearing Sophia's words, Claire felt even more relieved. Even she felt that she had been robbed by Blazing Flame Orcs, so there should be no problem with her arrangement. This kind of mentality is very strange. I have checked it countless times, but I am afraid that I have missed some clues.

This mentality is the same as Grand Judge's before, but Claire will not be stupid enough to go around like him to inquire about this information and attract other people's attention.

But since it was Sophia who brought it up, it's normal to continue talking about it.

"I don't know much about it. I had already evacuated from Blazing Flame Plane for a long time at that time." Claire followed Sophia to the guest sofa nearby.

"You don't need to understand. Now because Blazing Flame Orcs has obtained equipment, the war has become stalemate and will not be resolved for a while."

Hearing this, Claire smiled instead, "Then this is a happy event for you."

Hearing Claire's words, a smile appeared on Sophia's originally worried face, "I just said that you are my soulmate. Do you want to think about coming over to start a career with me?"

Sophia is worried because there are too many things to deal with, not because of the equipment being taken away by Blazing Flame Orcs.

As Claire said, that incident was actually a happy event for her. Sophia is not only a capitalist, but also an excellent capitalist. If the battlefield falls into a stalemate, it means that the war must continue to be fought. If the war continues, it means that the huge profits during this period can continue to be maintained.

As for things that are not beneficial to the country, that is completely out of her scope. As long as the final result is victory, the longer the battlefield lasts, the more profits she will make from it.

But soon Sophia shook his head and said with a somewhat regretful tone, "But this situation will not last long."

Claire's curiosity was aroused and he asked, "How do you say it?"

"Archmage Merlin is going to take action."
