Francisco? (Part 1)

[ Dear user Hector, due to multiple complaints about your inappropriate comments in several posts, and after our website's verification, it has been confirmed that your behavior includes incitement and defamation of others' content. This site has decided to block your account. If you have any objections, you may file a complaint, but this site may not necessarily accept it. We wish you a happy life. Goodbye! ]

Hector's eyes turned bloodshot. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with his account; it was just that there was still some money in the account that he hadn't withdrawn. This money was half of the down payment given to him by Francisco. Now that his account was blocked, how could he get that money out?

Hector hurriedly sent a private message to the staff of the Red Espiritual Net, complaining that someone was intentionally trying to harm him.

The Red Espiritual Net staff acknowledged the complaint, but in less than a day, they rejected his complaint and upheld the decision to block his account.

Hector was at a loss, considering filing another complaint when he suddenly discovered something shocking. The previously closed Ashe's Shop had somehow reopened.

"Could it be that my account got blocked because of the No. 1 Artificer Shop?"

With this suspicion, Hector attempted a second complaint but was unsurprisingly rejected once again.

This time, he finally realized that something was amiss. The efficiency of the Red Espiritual Net in handling complaint cases was unusually fast, something he had never experienced before. He couldn't help but link it to Ashe.

To retrieve the money in his account, Hector sought out Luka, who, in turn, contacted Francisco.

One can easily imagine the sudden anger that Francisco, who had thought his plan was foolproof, would feel upon hearing this news.

"Young Master Francisco, what should we do? We promised to Young Master Yannis before, and now that the plan has failed, he will definitely not spare us!" Luka was filled with fear and anxiety, his back drenched in sweat, as he had been in a state of panic since Hector informed him about this situation.

Francisco gritted his teeth, just as frustrated as everyone else, but he couldn't afford to lose his composure. If he did, he knew he would face an unrecoverable abyss.

"There's something fishy about this. How did the Red Espiritual Net suddenly reopen Ashe's Shop when we submitted authentic images as evidence?" Francisco forced himself to calm down.

"I find it strange too. The evidence is so compelling, so how did she manage to do it?" Luka grew more fearful the more he thought about it.

"Have you tried asking the Red Espiritual Net for clarification?" Francisco clenched his teeth and inquired.

Luka shook his head, "I was too scared."

Francisco silently cursed him, then scolded him without mercy, "You're panicking in the face of this kind of situation, yet you didn't immediately check it out!"

Luka cried, "But my account has also been blocked."
