Chapter 163 – I Came to Redeem Myself [Part 2]
"I'm not good at waiting," Lux said calmly.
She tilted her head. "I noticed."
He stood up slowly. Not pacing. Just enough movement to unnerve something holy.
"I didn't come here because I'm impatient. I came because I found something else."
Celestaria frowned faintly. "Something else?"
He nodded once. Walked toward the shelves on the side of the office, but didn't touch anything.
"Infernal demons are also targeting me."
Celestaria raised a brow. "That's not news."
"No," he said, turning slightly, voice now low. "They're targeting me because someone from your realm put a bounty on my head."
That made her freeze.
Her wings fluttered once. Lux noticed. She was good at hiding emotion.
But not from him.
"That's—" she started.
He raised a hand.
"Don't say it's absurd."
She didn't.
Because what he said next wiped the rest of her sentence clean.
"It's eighty-eight point eight billion Soul Credits."
Silence.
