Chapter 177: Ch 177: A Dinner Outing - Part 2
As the tension between them began to settle into something more transactional, Selene reached into her coat pocket and retrieved a small, luminous object.
It pulsed faintly in her palm, light refracting off its pristine, crystalline surface. She set it down on the table between them with a soft clink.
Nora leaned in, intrigued, as she picked up the crystal and turned it between her fingers. Its deep, iridescent glow reflected off her sharp eyes.
Selene watched her reaction carefully before speaking.
"I’d like to trade this in exchange for Rize Spencer’s debt."
At first, Nora looked unimpressed. She twirled the crystal lightly, rolling it between her fingers like it was a mere trinket.
"This looks like dungeon loot. Selene, I expected something more... substantial."
She remarked, raising an eyebrow.
Selene chuckled, shaking her head slightly.
"You’re thinking too small, Nora. This isn’t just some random dungeon drop. It’s a Genesis Crystal."
She gestured at the crystal.
