Five hundred gold coins per day.
Fifteen thousand per month.
The numbers were staggering.
Kiara did not respond immediately.
Internally, her thoughts spiraled.
Zion was invaluable to her.
Not merely as an Android.
Not merely as a weapon.
She had named him after her younger brother.
To sell him was unthinkable.
But renting his time?
That was different.
The offer was undeniably lucrative. With that income, she could expand rapidly, purchase multiple properties, and accelerate her main quest progress.
Yet a shadow lingered.
Zion was not human.
If discovered, what then?
If someone noticed the unnatural density beneath his skin. If a penetrative strike exposed metal. If someone powerful grew curious and attempted capture for research.
Zion was rank-4, formidable in daylight combat, capable of matching a 5-star expert under certain conditions. But against 6-star warriors?
He would not stand alone.
And if he were seized, Kiara would be forced into open conflict again.
