Nathan stared at Velmora, who was smiling brightly in front of him. The tip of her snake tail twitched slightly, as if she had no idea her home was about to be cleared out.
Why is she smiling? Nathan frowned.
"Velmora…" Nathan swallowed. "Are you… okay with us clearing your home?"
Velmora nodded, still smiling—her face as innocent as a hungry kitten pretending everything's fine.
"I can sleep somewhere else, hehehe…"
Nathan went silent.
Guilt slowly settled in his chest. It felt like he had just become some evil capitalist who obtained land from the people for free—without even needing to wave around a predatory contract with tiny print.
She didn't even ask for terms… she just handed everything over with a smile.
Nathan looked at Velmora, who had just signed a metaphorical predatory deal—with honest, wholehearted consent.
Then—system panel appeared again.
[Ding!]
