The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Leo, should I just take cash?

Chapter 140: Leo, should I just take cash?

No one had the guts to ask her how she got them there.

They didn’t want to anger her so they just went ahead with it.

Of course, those treasures and artifacts could not be taken just because of their surface value.

They had them appraised and Alice had to wait.

She was patient, though she was a bit worried that Micheal would be searching for her because she wasn’t out yet.

She checked her phone and found a message he had sent to her about half an hour ago.

“I’ll be taking a while so don’t panic if you don’t hear from me in thirty minutes.” He sent and she rolled her eyes.

Why would she panic?

She would’ve just made her way out since he knew his way around here better than she did.

‘Guess he’s having fun roaming the place.’ she thought and looked up at them.

“Are we done here?

My time is precious.” “Ah, yes.

Yes, of course.” The manager rubbed his hands together as he stood beside her like an obedient dog.

“These are all worth a fortune, Miss Black.” He said.

“Of course they are.

They’re mine, after all.” She raised her head in pride.

“Now, how much does it all amount to?

She asked.

Do not disappoint me.” “Ah, yes.

I would never.” He said.

“If we exclude the price for the miracle potion, you’ll still have over trillions left.” He said, and Alice’s eyes glittered inside her mask.

And just like that, she was a trillionaire.

This was the best.

“And also,” he started sweating again so he cleaned it up with his handkerchief, looking quite nervous.

“It’s not that our auction house can’t afford it, but we have to sell off a few of these artifacts and treasures before paying you the full amount.” He was worried she was going to call off the deal in annoyance.

She looked like someone who liked to go straight to the point, and any delay in business was just a dead ringer.

But to his surprise, she said, “Okay,” he looked up at her, surprised.

“What is it?

I said okay.

So, just pay me half and the next time I come here, you’ll pay me the rest.

Isn’t that so?” “Yes, yes.

That’s exactly it.” He bowed his head in relief.

His sweat was already making him feel uncomfortable, and the fact that she was unpredictable and a ticking time bomb made him even more uncomfortable.

He just wanted to get on her good side already.

“I’ll be right back.

How would you like to be paid?

In cash or cheque?” He asked and she thought for a moment.

‘Leo, should I just take cash?’ she asked.

*I think that’s the best for now.* He said.

*If you take a cheque, they could find your location.* ‘But I thought they tend to keep a customer’s personal life out of their business.’ she said.

*Well, there’s no harm in being extra cautious.” He said and she sighed.

‘Do you think they’ll have cash in trillions?’ *If they didn’t, do you think they would ask?* He asked and she nodded.

‘Good point.’ She faced the manager and asked, “So…

What do you I address you as?” “Ah, just call me Vector.

I am at your service.” He said and she observed him carefully.

He definitely didn’t look like a ‘Vector’.

If he said his name was Bob, she would believe him right away.

But oh well, this fat mess of a body was his disguise so she wouldn’t judge.

“So, Vector.

Do you have cash over a trillion?

I don’t think anyone has that habit besides me?” She said.

“I like keeping cash, a lot of it, you see.

Just looking at it makes me extremely happy.” *Says the girl who was so obsessed with a packet of cash.* Leo reminded her of her dark past.

‘Seems like you and I will have a little chitchat later.’ *Not if I’m offline.* “Ah, that’s nice to hear.” Vector said.

“Well, then may I invite you to the safe?

It’s just, there might be a problem moving the money.” “Please, I’m a magician.” Alice said.

“How do you think I got all these things here?” She asked.

“Oh, and don’t ask me how.

After all, a magician,” she reached her hand towards his ear and suddenly pulled out a sword from behind, smirking.

“…never reveals her secrets.” She said and the attendant started clapping.

They all turned to him and he stopped at once, pursing his lips as he felt awkward.

“Well, I don’t know how you do it but it looks convenient.” He said.

“Now, follow me.” After passing through a lot of security details, body scans, and the likes in procedures, they got to the vault that had the exact amount they wanted to pay her.

It has a security camera inside so if she wanted to take it all inside her ring, she would have to blind the cameras.

“You know, I just said I didn’t want to reveal my secret.

So, kill it.” She said to him and he nodded.

“Oh, I understand.” He made a call right away and the cameras were cut off.

The beeping red light went off and the camera dropped as if it were dead while hanging on the wall.

Even if they secretly turned it on, it would not be able to catch anything since it was facing down in the wrong direction.

Alice got all the cash in her ring and took in the nice scent of cash and gold.

It was wonderful.

‘You should build a safe in the space while you’re free, Leo.’ Alice said as she walked out.

*Oh, as if making me a babysitter wasn’t enough.

Now, you want me to renovate?* He asked with an irritated tone but she shrugged.

‘This is all you can do to assist me right now.

After all, I’m the one saving the world.’ she smiled.

*Alice, looks like we really do need to have that chitchat.* ‘Ah, now you know.’ Vector stopped her just before he stepped out, and she thought he still had something to say, but he handed her an invitation and a card that said VIP.

“Please, do visit us again, Miss Black.” He said and she tilted her head.

“Well, why not?” She tucked it inside her jacket.

She was about to leave when she paused.

“Oh, what happens if I lose the card?” She asked.

“I was brought in by someone this time.

And next time if I want to come into the devil’s shrine but lose my invite, I won’t be able to step in, right?” “If that happens, you can show them your VIP card.

But if you lose that too, for some unforeseen circumstances, please just call the number I gave you.

We will come to escort you personally.” He said and she nodded.

“Nice, I’m leaving now.” She waved and as she left, Vector thought out loud, “I feel she became different all of a sudden.

More approachable.” He muttered.

“Or was it just me feeling pressured for no reason?” He decided to let it go.

This time, he bagged a big client.

He couldn’t wait for the owner to come back.

He would break the news to him personally.
