Candice

The Control Room was completely silent when Candice formally introduced herself as a High Elf species and greeted Lei Zhen as the Master.

'Wasn't Howard the one that purchased you? Why am I the Master all of a sudden?' Lei Zhen thought to himself.

Never once did he expect that there would be a day he would become a slave owner.

There is zero great news regarding a slave owner and Lei Zhen surely does not want his name to be stained because of this incident.

"Hold up a minute," Lei Zhen raised his hand and said. "Howard was the one that bought you, and not me. Therefore, I am not your Master, Candice."

Candice lifted her head slightly up and held a dazed look, seemingly confused by Lei Zhen's words.

Seeing the confusion, Howard intervened and explained, "Chancellor, the gold coins used to purchase her was from the fund you gave me for the task. Thus, this elf woman, Candice, is officially your slave and not me."
