"I'm very sorry, but you just chose to take a very... very wrong decision."
Noir spoke gently, then he stood up.
Brenna looked towards him, she only felt that the entire heaven and earth were spinning, and Noir in the center seemed to have transformed into something extremely great, extremely divine, extremely supernatural, to the point that Brenna didn't even dare to imagine, couldn't even imagine.
It made her feel like even if all her strength returned, standing in front of such an absolute existence would be like an air bubble that would vanish when touched.
"Even though you are a person of noble status, in front of The Truth... all things are equal."
"Since the day this store was founded, you have been the first person to dare to break the rules, Brenna."
Even though this place has only been open for less than a day.
Hearing Noir's words, Brenna's heart was filled with remorse. Now, the idea of avenging her daughter Keelin has been thrown behind her. Her own life is about to die, let alone revenge?
If you lose a daughter, you can still create another one, at most it just takes a little time. And if you lose your life... then nothing will remain.
"Sir! Sir!"
In this critical moment, Brenna decided very quickly.
She immediately fell to her knees, begging for Noir's mercy.
"Sorry sir, it's because I'm blind. I swear I will never do that again."
Brenna appeared sentimental and weak, looking extremely pitiful, unable to see the arrogant witch from before.
Even though she was arrogant, she didn't feel that kneeling before Noir was a humiliating act, because the gap between the two was too great.
Just like a normal person kneeling in front of a Demigod like Brenna, no one would consider it humiliating, but would consider it obvious.
More importantly, Brenna doesn't want to die. Just because of a little bit of dignity, one has to sacrifice one's life, in Brenna's perception, only a fool would do that.
"Sir!"
Feeling the enormous pressure gradually disappearing, hope appeared in the witch's eyes. She quickly took out something and offered it in front of Noir.
"This is a high-grade gem, please accept it."
In Brenna's hand appeared a magical gem, emitting a brilliant light that made it look extremely beautiful.
This thing is actually not an ordinary jewelry gem, it is a material crystallization of energy. The pure energy was so intense that it condensed into a physical form. The value can be said to be incredibly high.
Can be used to absorb and increase strength, can be used to apply wide-area magic, can be used to engrave into weapons,... It can be said to be a valuable treasure.
Taking this out, Brenna's heart skipped a beat, but for the sake of her life, she had to grit her teeth and endure.
And Brenna discovered one more thing.
It's clear that she's just a normal person now, but she can still connect to the pocket dimension that she often uses to store items. This refers to what? That is, everything from the beginning until now has been under Noir's control.
Her power to Noir is just something that can be lost at will.
"Thank you for the compensation, I really appreciate it."
Noir smiled, sitting back in his chair. Everything seems to return to the beginning, as if what just happened was just an illusion.
"I'm not lying to you, Lady Brenna. This place only sells information…."
"Please don't say that, I... I will buy..."
Brenna tried to smile, but her crooked smile looked extremely forced.
"We always provide the best services for our customers."
Noir waved his hand and Brenna, who was kneeling on the ground, returned to her seat. At the same time, he also brought a cup of hot tea to her, the warmth still rising.
Brenna sat still and didn't dare do anything.
Just now she was in a situation where she was hanging by a thread, the position between the two sides was no different from an ant to a god. Now it becomes a relationship between business people and customers. This sudden and disparate change made Brenna's mind feel like she was sitting on a roller coaster, sometimes reaching the top and then falling to the bottom.
The Witch of Decay is now once bitten, twice shy. Not daring to make any careless actions, afraid of making Noir unhappy.
"So witch lady, what information do you want to buy?"
"..."
Brenna became nervous. Try exploring a bit.
"For your opinion, what kind of information do you think I should buy?"
Brenna thought she did nothing wrong, but her question made Noir's eyebrows furrow.
Witnessing that expression, Brenna felt like she was about to cry. She was almost desperate, just wanted to use money to escape from here and never come back again.
"What you said isn't right."
Noir is truly not very happy. Speaking the way Brenna said, it was like he was forcing her to make a deal.
He is a real businessman, not a mafia. If this were to be spread out, the business would be no different from shutting down and disbanding.
"No… no! That's not what I meant, sir! I just… couldn't think of anything to buy for the moment, so I wanted to hear your opinion…"
Hearing Brenna hastily correct her sentence, Noir nodded slightly, this is fine.
He opened Brenna's information, intending to explore for a moment to see if there was anything to exploit.
Although The Truth System helps Noir grasp information about all subjects, the amount of information is truly too huge. Normally, they will not appear but will be hidden, only showing some basic things.
Reading the information, Noir discovered that Brenna had always wanted to enter the God level for a long time. Stopping at the Demigod level for a long time, the Witch of Decay still hasn't been able to reach the door of the God level.
This also has its cause.
