Chapter 100 - You Can Keep It Safe... (1/2)

It was the first time in Hecathe's life that somebody had called him an idiot... And he could confidently say that he definitely didn't feel pleased with it.

Hecathe clicked his tongue as he glared at the girl and asked, ”Then, do you want me to take the money back?”

The girl pursed her lips as she heard this and shook her head, ”I'm not giving it back. You already gave it to me.”

”...”

The girl chuckled as she looked at the man and reassured, ”I was just kidding. I'm not going to steal it and run away. You can trust me.”

Hecathe was still not trusting her but when she said this, he could feel that she was certainly not trying to trick him by lying so he decided to just let it go.

It wasn't like he cared that much about the money anyway so he really didn't care if she decided to steal it or not, however, although he didn't care about the money, he still cared about her ability and didn't want her to escape just like that.

”Sir, You can go and complete the mission that you have today. I won't want to further waste your time,” The girl politely bowed her head and spoke with a smile.

Hecathe coughed as he heard this and nodded his head as he responded, ”Then I'll be going.”

The girl nodded and the two stood there staring at each other for a solid awkward moment.

”Are you going or not?” The girl tilted her head and asked as she broke the silence.

Hecathe chuckled as he heard this straightforward question that was certainly not said in a polite manner.

”I'm going,” Hecathe turned around and walked away but stopped after a few steps as he looked back to see that the girl had already disappeared from the place.

”As expected...” He muttered under his breath as the man suddenly had a shocking understanding.

Moving cards was not the only thing she could do. She could transport herself as well and this would mean that she could transport people and almost anything in the world that could be picked up. Hecathe had already guessed her ability to be something like this and this was precisely the reason why he had decided to hire her.

Hecathe had a satisfied smile on his face as he saw that his guess had been correct and he turned around once again as he continued on his way.

Hecathe put his hand in his pocket as he walked down the street and when his fingers came in contact with the ring that he had previously kept away in his pocket, he suddenly remembered the old woman who was the original owner of this ring.

The man took out the ring and looked at it for a minute as if trying to understand what the ring was made up of. It was definitely not any cheap material and it didn't look common either.

If he wanted to guess, he would say that this was made up of something extremely rare.

Hecathe headed back to pay a visit to that old woman and returned the ring to her.

The woman was shocked and confused at first as she saw Hecathe returning with the ring, however, Hecathe didn't even need to explain the situation to her as the woman guessed it all on her own.

”It was that damn child, wasn't it?” The woman questioned with a disappointed sigh and Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin smile as he nodded his head.

”Should've known he'd be up to something,” The old woman seemed to be blaming herself for this and it made Hecathe feel a little amused.

”Are you going to kick him out?” Hecathe asked curiously.

the old woman frowned as she heard this question and responded, ”Why would I throw him out? He's my son.”

”So you're planning on letting him stay?” Hecathe asked as he raised his eyebrows and this time he had a small frown on his face.

The woman didn't look to be too happy as she heard these questions, ”Young lad, this is his house as well. How can I throw him out of his own house?”

Hecathe tilted his head as he heard this, ”But he's not even your real son and after meeting him, I can say that he's not very grateful towards you either. He went as far as to gamble of something so important to you. How can you be sure that he won't try to gamble it off again?”
