Matthew's facial expression changed as he heard Ruby's explanation. He also initially had the same thoughts as Basen, which was not easy to believe Maulvi's words.
However, when Ruby assured Matthew that Maulvi was not lying at all, Matthew gradually believed her and no longer suspected the demon fox.
"What do you think? Are you going to help her?" asked Ruby anxiously.
Matthew lowered his gaze as he thought of something, then tapped his fingers on the sofa.
Ruby's body tensed up even more when she didn't get an answer from her husband. She tilted her head, trying to see Matthew's slightly downcast face.
Before Ruby could ask again, Matthew finally lifted his head and said, "If we want to save her sister, we might be able to buy her at the auction."
Ruby looked at Matthew in confusion. "An auction?"
Matthew nodded. "I had heard that there is a big auction event in the Imperial Capital. It's held every week, but only certain people are allowed to enter."
