"You're indeed beautiful, but I'll never like or love you just because of that."
After an awkward silence. The receptionist I ca with whispered sothing to Ruby.
Then, Ruby smiled and opened her cute mouth.
"So basically, you easily lost interest in bacause I'm not yours?"
Her words made my eye twitch.
I glanced at the receptionist for a mont. Then I brought my gaze back to Ruby.
"When I told him that, I'm talking about items, not living beings."
After a pause, I spoke again.
"Through it's pretty much true, instead of loving you one-sidedly. I'll instead pour my love to those who also loves ."
Strangely enough, Keara entered my mind when I said that, making smile a little bit.
Looking at Ruby, I sent her a mischievous smile.
"You see, I like it more when I'm the seducer."
Ruby observed for a while, then with a curious but charming smile, she opened her mouth.
"You're weird~"
Ruby squinted her eyes and her voice was playful.
'God, she's hot...'
Shaking such thoughts off my head, I rebutted.
"You're weirder, you're a famous hero and you're the head of the [Paradise], yet you're openly revealing your face to ."
Seems uninterested and unfazed by the fact that I know her identity and I can expose it to the public anyti, Ruby replied as she shrug her shoulders.
"This place is only a black market in na and [Paradise] is also just an underground organization in na too. but this place and [Paradise] are legal and approved by the [Heroes Federation]."
Ruby said.
The receptionist I followed opened his mouth to add further explanation.
"We're just an another organization that exist to maintain the balance. The federation is to maintain the balance in the heroes."
He said.
Then Ruby took the lead again.
"And us, the black market, also known as [Paradise], controls the underworld businesses. We also collects informations about majins and sells them to the [Heroes Federation]."
Ruby stated.
I know so of those informations from the novel, but now everything got clearer to about the relationship between the [Paradise] and the [Heroes Federation].
'In short, they have so sort of partnership or peace treaty.'
Tilting my head slightly and resting my right cheek on my right hand, that is placed on the armrest. I then crossed my legs and yawned before replying.
My activity with Keara in the bath earlier made quite sleepy.
"That's good and all, but aren't you too trusting?"
Not minding my rudeness, Ruby replied.
"Well, trust is a must in business partners."
With a short pause...
"And also if you happen to be an enemy..."
Ruby muttered with a threatening tone as my sleepy expression turned into an annoyance.
A heavy pressure pressed on my body as my frown deepened. I started sweating bullets and my heartbeats got faster.
Though on the outside, I look calm and normal, it's because I have my activated, it helps to put up a poker face.
"Haa..."
After letting out a sigh, my eyes turned cold, I fixed my sitting posture and looked at Ruby directly.
And with a single thought.
