Chapter 399: Dont Touch Me
Two days had passed, and Ashe hadn’t found any dirt on Belldate.
It wasn’t because the Yvaren sisters were particularly clean. Mainly, it was because their job list suddenly featured several high-paying jobs specifically requesting them, with an astonishing hourly rate of 30 bell points. Working ten hours a day could earn them 300 bell points, and a few days of this would allow them to buy their freedom and escape from the pit.
This wave, this wave is the alienation of people by capital. Ashe was vigorously polishing the statue while happily watching his savings grow.
At dinner time, Ashe saw Igor dining with Harvey tonight, with no sign of the red-haired Angel Anfel. For the past couple of days, Igor had been dining with Anfel, specifically choosing a table for two. Unless Ashe was willing to pull up a baby chair beside them, it was impossible to join their couple’s table.
Seizing the opportunity, Ashe immediately grabbed his tray and sat next to the Con Artist. “Yo, Igor, how come you’re so down tonight, reduced to eating with Harvey?”
The dark-skinned necromancer glanced at Ashe. “…Ashe, just in time. We were just discussing you.”
“Discussing me about what?”
“Discussing your future,” Harvey said. “I’ll become the chief coroner of Mephila, Igor will become the mayor’s secretary of Mephila, and you will become an unemployed single dad on welfare, sucking your daughter’s blood. We all have bright futures ahead of us.”
“Although I don’t mind being on welfare, I’m not a Blood Saint, so why would I suck Lise’s blood?”
