Chapter 433: You’re Her
The little girl cocked her head to the side as she stared at Greed. The demon started to twitch, feeling a bit uncomfortable under her gaze, but he didn’t understand or know where that feeling was coming from.
Maybe she was older than she looked?
Maybe she didn’t have any parents left?
Greed frowned in consideration. "If you don’t have any parents, you can always stay with me. I can look after you and keep you safe from anyone who tries to hurt you."
"You’re an idiot, right?" asked the girl, confused. She blinked a few times, even as her head slowly went to the other side as if that would help her think better. "I mean, that is the only explanation."
"That’s not nice," stated Greed, coming to his feet. "You need to be more respectful when speaking to others. You never know when you will come across someone stronger than you. You are lucky that you walked into my place and not someone else’s. You would never know how you died."
"I’ll let you know when I come across someone stronger," sighed the girl like Greed was the problem. "But to get back to when the conversation made sense. Daddy isn’t here right now; you should be grateful. Second, I can grant your wish... for a price."
Now it was Greed’s turn to narrow his eyes at the little girl. Every fiber in his body screamed at him to protect her, no matter what... but her words...
Those were tough to swallow.
