Seven Sins System Chapter 332. Golden Pen < Lame Sandwich
She pressed her lips into a thin line, shooting me an annoyed look. The tension was clear, but she couldn't voice her complaints, not when my words were undeniably true.
"Just like last night," I murmured, my voice edged with mischief. I leaned in closer, my eyes locking with hers. "That desperate mortal summoned me, not you."
A flicker of irritation popped across her features, and I relished it, reveling in the way it disrupted her composed demeanor. It was a dangerous game we played, this push and pull.
But what pleased me more than anything was the twist of control, the notion that even under her disapproval, I remained unchained by her disapproval. I could see the frustration in her eyes, her attempts to restrain the surge of her divine essence, I was not blind to it, nor was I daunted by it.
I straightened, allowing a subtle, knowing smirk to curve my lips. "Don't you just hate it when reality doesn't align with your expectations?" I taunted.
She exhaled sharply, her gaze boring into me, but I could sense the underlying acknowledgment of the truth in my words. I knew the rules, the boundaries we operated within. Mortals summoned me, not her, and that irked her to no end.
"But it was me who finally settled everything," she reminded me with a fierce look, her eyes glittering with determination and a hint of defiance.
I couldn't help but let out a dark, mocking laugh, unable to resist the urge to provoke her further. "That was a nice joke," I chuckled, my voice tinged with an evil edge. "Considering it was you who ended up having to pay double. To me and to her," I emphasized, relishing the opportunity to remind her of the price she had to pay for my assistance. "While I... I got a nice payment from her," I added with a self-satisfied smirk, making sure she understood who reaped the most benefits from our little arrangement.
