Chapter 9 - 8 - I Successfully Completed My First Mission
Even though Madam Fleur was looking at him with narrowed eyes and a frown, Lev maintained a straight face.
"What are you looking at? Please continue with what you were about to say."
"It seems you're quite good at appraising valuable items."
When Madam Fleur glanced at his magic pouch with a look of disgust, Lev finally understood what was happening.
'There's no way I'd let a precious magic item like this slip away.'
Lev considered the Memory Orb as loot from the mission given by the Hero's System. Besides, he had already thought about how he would use the Memory Orb, so he shamelessly took it with a straight face.
"You should be grateful that I took it peacefully."
"Yes. I know you must hate me."
"Now that I think about it, why did you tell me that you were involved in the plan to trap me? Were you afraid I'd kill you too?"
"The first reason is that I didn't want you to take your anger out on the women in my brothel. The second reason..."
Madam Fleur paused and took out an envelope. She handed it to Lev and continued, "If you want to vent your anger, you can kill me now. After all, with the failure of the plan to trap you, I'll likely end up losing my life anyway."
