Chapter 27
Tegna had nothing bua admiration for
Steve in
her
She wasn’t the slightest sh
Steve, potally thrown, just dropped his head and went back to his work…
She was still staring at him. Her gaze even grew burning as if she had seen something precious.
He felt a bit licked and couldn’t ignore
re her gaze.
Never before had a young girl dared to look at
at him so bluntly
It felt like she saw him as some shiny toy she could poke at whenever she felt like it
Finally, he cracked, rubbing his neck in invitation. He looked up at her. “Quit staring-
Yet she was no longer looking at him
next to him intently.
Instead, she was staring at a titanium sword next to him
Apparently, she was so fond of it that she even swallowed.
Steve was dumbfounded, thinking. So, this is why her gaze suddenly turned burning! Because of a sword?”
Now he was annoyed. “What’s so great about it? Suddenly it’s more interesting than me?”
Regina snapped out of her trance. “Huh? What’d you say?”
Steve couldn’t believe she’d zoned out over a freaking sword.
His face was sullen and he leaned against the back of the car seat, asking. “Is this sword better looking than me?”
She licked her lips eagerly. “How could you compare yourself to a sword?”
Hearing this, he was in a slightly better mood.
Then she stared at the titanium sword obsessively again. “It’s much better looking than you” Steve war
was rendered speechless again
She held out her hand hesitantly and looked at him expectantly. “Is it yours! May I touch it?”
His eyes darkened as he threw the sword at her. “It’s yours”
she widened her eyes. “You’re giving it to me?”
He seemed ticked off, and she couldn’t figure out why he’d hand it over if he was mad.
He crossed his slender legs and looked at her coldly with his chins raised. “Now that you have it, stop staring at me.
Regana was surprised, thinking, “Is he for real?
She nodded like crazy. Dealt If I stare at you again. I’ll gouge my eyes out”
Steve said nothing. A hint of sullenness flashed across las face as he ignored her and continued to deal with work on his laptop.
Yet he couldn’t help pecking at her.
She pulled the titanium sword out of its sheath, looking overjoyed like she had gotten her favorite toy.
The blade of the titanium sword, also known as the thermal sword, glimmered with a light source that appeared like lava. The blade was burning hat
She ran her fingertips gently across the blade and looked at it greedily. “I’ve seen this on TV before.
“Everyone says that it cuts everything easily, including iron and cars, It even can stop bullets?
1/2
The more she looked at it, the nine paispod she got, her usual ileadpan vibe totally gour. “This thing’s gotta be worth a fortune. Base price is 10 jullion, right? With the thermal blade, it’s probably closer to 100 mil now!”
Kaising an eyebrow, Steve looked at her expression, thinking, Huh, she’s like a kid on Christmas morning when she’s into something
As he was pondering, she looked at him expectantly: ‘Are you really giving it to me?
He didn’t answer–just slapped a digital watch on her wrist. “Wear thus all the time. It’s got the time, syncs to your phone, and tracks your Humanity for me and Scarlett to keep tabs on.
Yours is way too low, it needs to go up. It’s waterproof, fog–proof–don’t take it off, even in the shower”
The watchs was a device exclusive for felons in prison, and it detected one’s Humanity accurately
But Regina couldn’t care less about the watch or her stats
She chuched the sword, still buzzing. You’re seriously letting me keep this? It’s so expensive–won’t you miss it? How about you just lend it to me for a day, and I’ll give it back?”
