Chapter 104: Hiding
"Here you go, pretty lady. Two sundaes with the works. Enjoy!"
"Thank you! We will!"
Chiara Alvestra happily took the two oversized sundaes and brought them to their table. She kept humming and swaying her head side to side in bliss. Her husband, Lucian, watched the surroundings deep in thought.
What the hell is this place? Civilians rarely left the Dawn tier, even war veterans. How can each shop afford Radiant-tiered Breakers as staff?
It is unsettling if you think about it. Although they were weak by Elian’s standards, common thieves, even armed terrorists, would die pointlessly here. While almost everyone had talents, not everyone had what it took to be breakers.
To gain levels, people needed to kill beings with mana—either monsters or breakers. Even if one butchered thousands of Dawn-tiered humans, it would not be enough to enter the Radiant rank.
"Darling, each sundae costs 100,000 crowns. Rather than waste your time worrying about such matters, why not focus on more important things?" Bianca remarked with a giggle.
Elian grimaced. A hundred thousand crowns—enough to feed a family for a year—and she spent it on ice cream. But when he remembered how much money his lover had, his common sense began to warp.
"Sigh. Aren’t you too into this, Chiara darling?"
Darling. Even the word felt weird. As they wanted to remain hidden in plain sight, Bianca forbade them from using their real names. They were to use Chiara and Lucian, or darling as a safe alternative. Using thoughts or telepathy was the only exception.
"Nonsense, how can one remain unmoved by such a work of art?" Bianca’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at her sundae. With gusto, she took a spoonful and ate it. Her face grew slack with happiness, and kicked her feet, "Mmhmm! So good!"
