“My condition is unique?” “Yes, but please don’t get mad at me for saying this.”


    Renee took the risk of offending him by pointing to the mask on his face. “I heard your face was badly


    damaged in the fight with Master Hunt, and you’ve been wearing a mask ever since. You’ve even


    sworn to kill anybody who has seen your face. I know it may be difficult since you are afraid of


    frightening people and being repulsive. But when you’re on that ind, all those worries will be things


    of the past because you can take off your mask whenever you want. Nobody will be afraid of you, nor


    will they dislike you. Doesn’t the ind suit youpletely?”


    Mr. Q was at a loss for words when he heard this.


    When Renee saw his confused feelings, she said, “You’re enemies with Stefan, and so am I.” Because


    we are fighting the same adversary, I believe you should back me up. I need the money to fight H


    Group.”


    “Who are you to do that?”


    Mr. Q had clearly not taken her remarks seriously.


    “We’ll just have to wait and see. I wouldn’t have been able to tell you I’d repurchase the ind if I didn’t


    believe I could defeat Stefan.”


    Renee had everything nned out, else she would not have taken such a choice today.


    “Do you hate Stefan?” he inquired.


    She shrugged as she was taken aback by the inquiry. “I used to despise him, but not anymore. After


    all…”


    She intended to exin that she had let go of all her grudges against him after he died rescuing her,


    but she stopped herself when she realized that the Hunt family had yet to disclose Stefan’s death to the


    public.


    However, there had previously been rumors about it, so she assumed Mr. Q was aware of it as well.


    “There is word that Stefan is dead. It’s excellent that you’ve let go of your animosity towards him.


    Fighting with the dead, after all, is pointless.”


    He hesitated for a while before saying, “I can buy your ind, but whether it’s worth 1.5 billion, I’ll have


    to be the judge of that.’


    She paused for a while before nodding and consenting. “Sure!”


    After all, she was on her way to pick up Abby and Margaret.


    “Let’s make some ns and get going,” Mr. Q replied quietly.


    “Are we leaving right now?” She suspected that something was amiss with the agreement’s seamless


    execution.


    ‘Why? Do you agree?”


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    “No. I simply didn’t expect things to go that swiftly and smoothly.”


    In the expectation that it would be way more difficult to convince Mr. Q, she requested Leia’s


    assistance to care for Adie for another half-month.


    “Didn’t you say you needed money? Isn’t it better if we get things done quickly?”


    ‘Yes. That is true!”


    Renee nodded appreciatively. She was on the verge of dropping down to her knees and thanking him.


    ‘Whoever nicknamed Mr. Q as Night Demon was obviously lying. He’s a deity who gives me hope!” she


    thought joyfully.


    She began to wonder whether the price of 1.5 billion was too low since Mr. Q agreed to it so soon.


    It left her at a loss, having a strange urge to make up for the money she might’ve lost.


    Then she feigned to be perplexed by the Snow Before the Shepherd Boy. “Is this the well-known


    painting by Dost Wurst? Is it genuine or a forgery?”


    “Do you think I’ll hang a fake painting on my wall?”


    “Wow, that’s incredible! My father used to enjoy Dost Wurst, and I’ve been seeking this piece for a long


    time…”


    “If you like it, I’ll ask Chase to wrap it up for you.
