Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Bombs, Weapon Deal

Nicholas Jensen had a very bad feeling.

"W-Wait... What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Seraphina Sullivan’s Silver Needle slowly pressed against his throat.

Her smile grew wider, her expression perfectly amiable.

"I saved your life, which basically means you belong to me. Now, either you give me the weapons immediately, or..."

Seraphina Sullivan applied a little pressure with her wrist. The tip of the needle pierced Nicholas Jensen’s skin, drawing a bead of blood. "I’ll just have to take that life back, you see?"

Nicholas Jensen: "..."

On the verge of tears, he looked at the girl before him who smiled like an Angel but struck like a Demon.

Finally, resigning himself to his fate, he closed his eyes. "I... I suddenly remembered... I think I can squeeze out the Energy for one more weapon..."

Satisfied, Seraphina Sullivan retracted the Silver Needle. "Now that’s more like it."

Nicholas Jensen wailed internally, ’This isn’t a savior, she’s a damn robber!’

Nicholas Jensen sighed helplessly, resigned to fulfilling his promise.

He struggled to lift the arm he could still move slightly and pulled a small cloth pouch from inside his clothes. It made a RATTLE-RATTLE sound as plastic pieces knocked together inside.

"Here, for you..." He passed the bag over weakly.

Seraphina Sullivan took the bag, deliberately putting on a confused expression.

’I can’t let on that I already know about his Talent, so I have to act confused about him pulling out a bag of toys.’

She opened it and saw it was filled with all sorts of miniature toy bombs.

There were finger-sized model grenades, matchbox-sized C4 explosive toys, and even a few demolition devices shaped like candy.

"Are you kidding me, pulling out these toys?"

She feigned anger, her eyebrows shooting up. "I asked for the real deal! And you give me toys?"

Nicholas Jensen waved his hand weakly. "Miss, don’t be hasty..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and a faint blue light began to glow from his pale fingertips.

He picked up a plastic model grenade and gently closed his hand around it.

A flash of blue light, and a heavy, real grenade appeared in his hand!

Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes lit up, but she quickly put on a stern face again. "Just one?"

Nicholas Jensen shook his head with a bitter smile and continued to use his Talent.

As the blue light flickered continuously, one explosive after another was materialized.

"HUFF... HUFF..."

By the time the twentieth explosive was materialized, Nicholas Jensen was covered in sweat. His face was paler than paper, and he looked as if he’d just been fished out of water.

Nicholas Jensen: ’I feel completely drained!!!’

Without a word, Seraphina Sullivan deftly packed all the weapons into her backpack, though in reality, she had secretly transferred them to her Space.

She satisfyingly hefted the backpack and looked at the miserable-looking Nicholas Jensen. "Wouldn’t it have been easier if you’d just been this cooperative from the start?"

Nicholas Jensen weakly rolled his eyes. "You... you’re taking advantage of my predicament..."

Seraphina Sullivan beamed at Nicholas Jensen, her tone cheerful. "’Taking advantage of your predicament?’ Hey now, I saved your sorry hide. These weapons are the payment I’m owed."

Nicholas Jensen: ’Sorry hide? Are you even listening to yourself? Do you even sound human?’

Seraphina Sullivan patted her backpack, brushed off her clothes, and then said, "Well, since our deal is done, I should get going. Because of you, I haven’t found much of anything useful today. What a waste of time."
