Laura could not answer that request, she could only look at Mr. Johnson whose face was twitching.
No, it was not that he did not want to sell it.
This was his plan to lure Leonardo.
The Association suspected this man, and he wanted to contribute by becoming the one who exposed him.
A Soul Conduit Crystal Level 3, this was practically sothing Leonardo greatly wanted.
If he chose to steal it, how would he do it?
But what he did not expect, Margaret actually did it for him.
His plan fell apart, and it seed he would still lose the Soul Conduit Crystal Level 3 without seeing any movent from Leonardo at all.
If this had been the Association’s plan, he could have received compensation, but it was not. This was his personal plan, which was not even known by the Association.
"I will sell it now if you want to buy it, but on the condition that you release ," he said to Margaret.
"You are too late to make that decision," she replied.
"You..."
"To hell with you, perverted man... Now I have the right to it." Margaret suddenly showed anger and forcibly took the ring from his finger.
"You, what is this?" Mr. Johnson was stunned.
"Harvey, you cannot forcibly take his belongings now without a court decision." Laura was also angry at Margaret’s action.
But Laura, as an ordinary human, could not stop Margaret, while Mr. Johnson’s power was sealed.
Margaret easily took the ring.
However, she frowned.
"Miss Harvey, this is a Level 4 Dinsional Ring, it is bound to its owner and cannot be taken by force," Harris said.
It seed the police investigators had already tried to do it.
"Bitch, you really are a bitch. How dare you rob in a police station?" Mr. Johnson continued to rage, trying to break free from the young officers holding him.
But Margaret remained indifferent.
She suddenly took out a small bottle containing red liquid from her Dinsional Ring and dropped that liquid onto the ring.
Pop!
A sound like plastic breaking was heard.
"You?" Mr. Johnson’s expression beca extrely bad, and his face turned pale.
A Dinsional Ring, even at Level 4, was not as good as an S-Class Weapon.
Its bond with its owner could be broken with certain things.
Even the bond of an S-Class Weapon could be broken, but it would probably require more of the liquid Margaret used.
Leonardo did not know much about that liquid. He had heard that it was not sothing from the Monster World, but sothing produced directly from the power of Awakener Level 50 and above, because their power could also break such bonds as long as the owner was not at their level.
"Hmm!" Margaret then smiled coldly.
"It turns out you have quite a lot of items," she said to Mr. Johnson, who suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"Harvey, what do you want? You said you only wanted the Soul Conduit Crystal Level 3, you cannot change your words," Laura said.
"What? Do you think that item alone can compensate for the ntal damage I suffered from being harassed by this perverted man? Not to ntion he did it in front of many people, which also significantly damaged my reputation."
"Damn it, I did not harass you. I failed to do it, I only reached your dress." Mr. Johnson shouted, but he imdiately regretted his words.
Everyone looked at him strangely.
Of course, he failed, but previously he insisted that his mind had been manipulated by Margaret’s evil power.
Now, it could be seen as an admission that he had the intention, he just failed.
Even if he failed, he still acted and grabbed Margaret’s dress. Who would say this was not harassnt?
Laura could not argue anymore. If she were harassed by a man who was not her lover, she would also sue rcilessly and take everything she could from him.
"Hmph!" Margaret snorted coldly at Mr. Johnson.
"You should be grateful that I can still forgive you..."
After saying that, she transferred the man’s Dinsional Ring into her own Dinsional Ring.
"Let’s go, Honey!" she said to Leonardo.
"This is robbery, I will sue!" Mr. Johnson shouted, but no one cared about him.
Even Laura walked away while shaking her head. It did not matter if he wanted to sue. She would no longer be his lawyer.
But that did not an Laura was not annoyed with Leonardo, whom she once defended.
Before leaving the police station, she blocked him again.
"What now?" Margaret asked with an annoyed tone.
However, Laura ignored her and only looked at Leonardo.
"You were not the one who did that, right?" she asked.
"Did what?" Leonardo was confused.
It even looked very natural because he was indeed confused at first before understanding that Laura ant the one who stole in the ruins.
After realizing that Laura already knew who the Association suspected, Leonardo continued to show confusion.
Even as a lawyer, Laura was deceived.
"Forget it!" she said, then left first.
"So annoying!" Margaret comnted, and Laura frowned unhappily at being spoken to like that.
Margaret put on her mask and sunglasses again before leaving the police station under tight escort.
Lawyer Wilson then beca the target of reporters for interviews, and he stated that Margaret had withdrawn the charges out of pity for Mr. Johnson and did not want the Association to lose an important figure.
This was purely Margaret’s kindness.
Although Lawyer Wilson did not deny that compensation was given by Mr. Johnson to Margaret, he said it would never be comparable to the humiliation she suffered.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was relaxed, with Margaret leaning against Leonardo.
She took out a triangular crystal and casually placed it in Leonardo’s hand.
"You should use it now," she said.
Leonardo nodded and used the crystal by crushing it.
DING!
(Your Beast Capacity has increased from 3 to 4!)
(Beast Capacity: 3/4)
It finally increased.
Although Leonardo did not yet know what monster he would add, preparing it in advance was certainly better. It would be bad if it was not ready when there was a monster to add.
"Thank you, honey," he said to Margaret and kissed her cheek.
This was not the first ti he called her that. It had already started when they were together before.
In the end, she helped him, so it was natural to call her in a sweet way.
