Chapter 10
If it’s Henry-kun, it’s not impossible…
In the sacred Saint Nad Magic Academy, there was a dilapidated manor.
And in the deepest part of the manor, there was a rundown old house quietly sitting in this place.
This place had been abandoned for who knows how long, and the original owner was unknown.
Even in the ga, this place was rarely visited by anyone.
Because no one knew what mission would be triggered here.
It was precisely because of this that this place beca the only place Henry could live.
What? You’re talking about Her Royal Highness the Princess’s residence?
If the Emperor knew he was living permanently in Her Royal Highness the Princess’s residence, his head would probably be hanging from the bell tower as a pendulum the next day.
The interior of the room had been renovated by him.
Although it wasn’t as luxurious as Her Royal Highness the Princess’s room, at least it was still habitable.
He boiled a pot of water, planning to drink so hot tea before going to the Assessnt Exam venue.
However, the sound of knocking at the door ca inappropriately from outside.
Henry didn’t pay attention to it at first.
But as the knocking beca more urgent, the originally old door lock was about to be knocked off by the other party.
To prevent soone from sneaking in to steal fragrances while sleeping at night, Henry still took the initiative to open the door lock.
“I thought you had fallen asleep after lying down.”
Sherisa had an elegant smile on her face, making it impossible to see any trace of the commotion she had just made banging on the door.
Without waiting for Henry to respond to her words, Sherisa calmly walked past Henry and entered.
However, looking at the old house, she still couldn’t help but cover her mouth and nose with her hand, afraid of inhaling the air in the house.
She calmly sat in Henry’s previous seat, then familiarly placed a bag of Gold Coins on the table.
“A small eting gift.
Now we can talk, can’t we?”
“The way you put it, Miss Sherisa wanting to talk with , isn’t that sothing that can happen anyti?”
Henry took the teapot and poured a cup of scalding tea for Sherisa, while also taking away that bag of Gold Coins.
He suddenly felt that he had opened the door too early.
If Sherisa had directly knocked the door down, wouldn’t he have been able to get another sum of money?
Of course, if Sherisa wanted to co late at night to discuss life philosophy with him, Henry wouldn’t be unable to accept that either.
They say won only slow down the speed of drawing swords, but rich won don’t!
When you et a good girl, marry her, but when you et a young, beautiful, and wealthy rich woman, honestly marry yourself off to her!
Seemingly very satisfied with Henry’s reaction.
Sherisa picked up the teacup and slled it, then calmly put it back down.
It seed the rich woman was very particular about her food and living conditions, completely looking down on Henry’s tea leaves.
“Henry-kun, about what we discussed yesterday, have you decided now?”
“Is it about giving money?”
“Money is naturally not a problem, but I also need to know about the Rulter Family.
After all, for soone like you who was driven out by the Rulter Family, the family’s secrets shouldn’t matter to you at all, right?”
Sherisa’s fingertips slowly tapped on the table surface, as if stimulating Henry’s heart.
She looked at Henry with a face full of smiles, as if waiting for Henry to make a decision.
However, in her view, this was definitely a deal that would be completed.
After all, what she had just said wasn’t nonsense, but was from Henry’s own perspective.
¨The Rulter Family doesn’t want you anymore, so why are you still guarding its secrets?¨
¨Rather than that, why not utilize its final value and exchange it for money.¨
Henry pinched his chin, as if seriously considering.
“Miss Sherisa seems to think money can buy a lot of things.”
Henry suddenly said these words.
Hearing these words, Sherisa couldn’t help but cover her lips and laugh out loud.
¨That’s natural.¨
As long as you have money, you can buy anything.
¨Even famous magicians need large amounts of money to support their research, not to ntion that the maintenance of an entire country requires money.¨
Sherisa, who had been influenced by money since childhood, believed that money was an omnipotent existence.
Henry raised his eyebrows slightly, quite agreeing with what she said.
If it weren’t for Sherisa having money, perhaps from the mont she wanted to enter through the door, she would have been kicked out by him.
Needless to say, he wasn’t so poor as to despise poverty, but loving wealth was definitely true!
“But I’m afraid I might have the fate to take this money but no fate to spend it.”
Henry pulled the tea water in front of Sherisa to himself, pretending to drink it.
Looking at Henry’s actions, Sherisa smiled slightly and stood up.
She reached out and took the cup of hot tea from Henry’s hand.
“Henry-kun, are you trying to tell that the stakes aren’t enough?”
She wasn’t planning to easily let go of what she wanted.
As the Empire’s wealthiest rchant, the Noel family naturally did so business that couldn’t be put on the table.
Among them, Intelligence Information trading was their main source.
Now that there was an opportunity to access the Rulter Family’s secrets, she naturally had to put in more effort.
However, she had originally thought Henry was a soft persimmon who could be easily coaxed with the lowest stakes to exchange for intelligence.
Now it seed the other party wasn’t a fool either.
Henry shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, stood up and walked to Sherisa’s front.
“Sherisa-kun, since you’re so sincere about making a deal, then do you think you would put yourself on the scales of the transaction?”
Henry suddenly stepped forward, his face abruptly getting close to Sherisa’s.
His action scared Sherisa so much that her body trembled slightly, and the teacup in her hand almost fell to the ground.
However, Henry sohow steadied her hand at so point, keeping it stable.
This was the first ti she had been treated like this by soone, and it was a man at that!
For a mont, Sherisa didn’t know what kind of reaction she should make.
She had originally thought Henry was a very controllable man, but now, she couldn’t quite understand him.
Henry slowly released her hand.
“Sherisa-kun, I still have Her Royal Highness the Princess’s protection now, so there’s no need to take this kind of risk.
Please go back.”
It wasn’t that Henry had no intention of doing business with Sherisa.
It was just that Sherisa seed to underestimate him a bit.
As a man, how could he be underestimated!
He wanted to let Sherisa see his great… capabilities.
If he were to be played around with, wouldn’t he beco Tom?
Henry sat back in his chair.
However, looking at Henry’s leisurely expression, Sherisa felt that her initiative had been taken back by Henry!
This was sothing she couldn’t accept.
Since Henry asked her whether she would put herself on the scales, then how could she let Henry underestimate her?
After all, this was the first ti a man had said such words to her.
She raised her proud head, and before Henry could react, she sat on Henry’s lap.
The distance between the two was just a finger’s width apart, and they could even hear each other’s breathing clearly.
Henry was sowhat stunned.
But Sherisa lightly sipped the cheap tea in the cup.
“It seems Henry-kun has feelings for .”
She extended her fingertip and lifted Henry’s chin.
At the sa ti, she leaned close to Henry’s ear and whispered, as intimate as lovers whispering sweet nothings.
“If it’s Henry-kun, it’s not impossible…”
