Watching Lia's stunned expression, Hu Er inwardly scoffed with disdain, thinking her such a fool for believing anything she was told.
"Miss Lia, if you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? If it turns out exactly as I said, with Lin Da abandoning you, then this level 40 orange-quality Fire Series Demon Core is yours," Hu Er proposed.
"And if I lose, Miss?" Lia asked.
"You don't have to pay any price," he replied.
"Why?" she questioned.
Lia sensed a whiff of conspiracy but couldn't pin down anything suspicious no matter how hard she thought.
Hu Er smiled and said, "Perhaps because I 'desire' Miss Lia's love. After all, you are a beautiful and captivating young woman."
"Wha... what? Love?! My mother always said, men who frivolously throw that word around are full of lies!" Lia exclaimed, shocked.
Lia was taken aback.
What kind of era was this, still having adventurers speak of love, a word so outdated it was falling apart?
