There is nothing like the moment of a person's greatest need in a life or death situation that could bring such beautiful clarity to a coward's mind.
Everything inessential fades with desperate speed and all that matters was one thing and one thing only.
"I want to live. I want to live! I WANT TO LIVE!!" That Black Dragon dude was probably screaming in his mind.
And in such a situation, he would strike any deal, even if it was with the devil at the cost of his soul, just so that he could remain alive.
And at that moment, the devil that came knocking at his door was none other than… me.
"Haiya. You dumbass. Why would you steal such valuable treasures without making a proper replacement? Candy? Seriously? Tsk tsk." I shook my head helplessly.
"No… no… not candy… not candy… real… real…" The Black Dragon dude moaned.
