Chapter 426 - Chapter 426. Nethan's Scam

The sight of the leather pouch bulging with coins in Loli's hand sent a thrill through Nethan. He yearned to jump for joy, but a second glance at Loli's eyes – filled with an unsettling excitement and expectation that clearly wasn't seen as normal– tempered his enthusiasm. Unlike other children, Nethan didn't instantly spill all the beans and lose all his bargaining power. He calmly took the pouch, meticulously counted the gold coins within, and only after confirming there were indeed twenty did he store it away with a fake sly smile and spoke to the impatient Loli, who now wanted to beat him to death.
