Real Follow-up (2)

Rothgarr: "...What are you hiding for?"

Anna looked at the bag of gold coins on the ground. She opened her mouth and closed it again.

What should she say? She once read a historical transmigration novel. The heroine inside the book took advantage of a bad habit of those martial arts people which was that they caught anything that flew over at them, and she tossed a thunderbolt...

And the world that she transmigrated to was full of supernatural powers. Was there any problem with not catching things with unknown origin?

Now that she saw there were gold coins in the cloth bag, Anna didn't want to pick it up either.

This was something that had passed through the demon’s hands. Who knew if there was a curse or something else?

Perhaps, was accepting this bag of gold coins equivalent to selling her soul?

There were at least ten gold coins exposed outside the cloth bag. How many were hidden inside the cloth bag? With so much money, what couldn’t you buy enough of? How would she dare accept it?

Anna ignored the demon's question. She looked at him and asked blankly: "I don't know what Lord Ulysses means."

Rothgarr almost laughed. "When did you become so stupid?"

Anna lowered her head and pretended to play dead; he better think she was stupid.

Rothgarr saw that Anna was silent and wanted to drive her away, but when he remembered that his bet with Balan was saved because of her one sentence that brought him back from the brink of rage, he laughed happily again with malicious intent.

With one sentence from her, his bet with Balan could continue, and her own future would continue towards The Abyss as planned. Otherwise, if he had lost control and killed her today, she would only suffer for a moment.

This bag of gold coins was an exchange for her torment for decades to come. When she found out about it in the future...

Although Anna didn't know what the demon was thinking, she felt that he seemed to be proud of something.

But what was he proud of? She didn’t even accept his gold coins, nor did she agree to his marriage proposal. He couldn’t collect her soul, so what was he proud of?

Rothgarr’s voice changed into a cold tone and he said, "This is your compensation."

Anna stood still and said: "Thank you, Lord Ulysses. But you don't need to compensate me, and nor do I dare accept it. If you are truly sincere, it would be best that you do not mention Bobby again in the future, and I will also forget about today."

Rothgarr was not ignorant of the value of currency in the human world. He knew that the gold coins in the bag on the floor were enough for ordinary people to spend a lifetime and even enough to leave a large amount of inheritance to future generations.

Why didn't she want them?

He realized that she was not two-faced, because as if they were some terrifying beast, she didn’t spare an extra glance at the pile of gold coins.

Rothgarr noticed that the irritability he had vented had reappeared.

Because he didn't understand why she would not want the gold coins.

She had obviously tried her best to get close to Parrish and Ulysses. If she had this many gold coins, there were many things she could do better. She probably didn’t understand this logic.

"Why not?" Rothgarr pointed to the cloth sack on the floor and asked with a cold face.

She just didn’t want it! Why were so many excuses needed!

"I shouldn't be compensated like this." Anna casually said.

"I rewarded you, so you can accept it," Rothgarr insisted.

Anna also insisted: "But I really can't accept it, my lord."

Was he kidding? His insistence on giving her these gold coins gave her even less guts to accept it.

Rothgarr looked at Anna.

Anna looked at the ground.

The suffocating silence lasted for a full minute before Rothgarr gave up the stalemate with Anna.

He good heartedly gave her gold coins to "thank" her for saving his bet with Balan; if she didn’t want it, then fine.

He began to eat.

From the corner of her eye, Anna caught a glimpse of the demon’s movement, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, she waited with peace of mind, but after all, the bag of gold coins was lying on the ground, and her gaze uncontrollably fell over there.

She really did want it... With these gold coins, she could immediately go test her elemental affinity. If she had the possibility of becoming a mage, then she would resign immediately and learn spells. Although she might still be unable to get rid of this demon, he didn’t seem to be afraid of mages, so he would definitely not stop her from learning. She might not be able to do anything to him in the beginning, but who knows what could happen in the future?

Anna forcibly retracted her gaze; she shouldn't be too greedy.

When Rothgarr put down the knife and fork, Anna quietly stepped forward to pack her things, her eyebrows low and pleasing, so that Rothgarr could not connect her with the stubborn person just now.

Under the demon's unconcealed stare, she orderly packed her things, then saluted him goodbye and steadily left the small building.

The whole cloth bag of gold coins was still gleaming on the ground.

From when she got off work to in the evening when she returned home, Anna was still immersed in the sorrow of losing the gold coins.

It would be nice if it wasn't the demon who gave her the gold coins; she would have definitely accepted it without hesitation.

Back at Pomegranate Lane, Anna subconsciously slowed down when she passed Bobby's ruined home. It was so easy for the demon to kill a person.

Of course, Bobby deserved it, and she didn't sympathize with him.

"Did you kill Bobby!" A sharp female voice came from the side.

Anna’s gaze followed the voice, and she saw Lily walk out of the dark shadow with a complicated expression on her face.

"I will expose you to Father Louis!" She said so with suppressed excitement. Her voice trembled a little, as if hiding fear.
