Darius nodded and collected all 20 items. He raised an eyebrow as he held the Soul Paper. "Don't you want to bind me to a contract?"
Darla shook her head. "Nah, no need to waste it. You already have those 20 goodies, so what's left will not make you act against me."
Darius tilted his head in surprise. "What makes you think so?"
Darla chuckled. "You're one of them smart, handsome types. Even though your greed spiked just now, it wasn't enough to overwhelm your intelligence. As such, after being given this… ermm… 'hush money', you won't bother to burn bridges unnecessarily."
Darius gazed at Darla silently, giving her a mental thumbs up.
She had a good grasp of people, how to read them and how to deal with them. Her becoming vice guildmaster despite her young age seemed to be more than just the result of her absurdly high Luck.
