Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Conversation, Encounter

She paused, her gaze falling on Brandon Barton’s face with a look that wasn’t quite a smile. "Don’t tell me you also want what’s in my hand, Captain Barton? Just like Eugene Jensen a moment ago."

Her words were direct, even carrying a hint of a cold, probing tone.

The smile on Brandon Barton’s face stiffened for a moment, then he quickly waved his hands. "You’re joking, Miss Sullivan."

He paused, choosing his words carefully. "I just came to say hello, and... to congratulate you on taking down this Lord."

’He had, in fact, been entertaining some ideas.’

’A Lord’s Sanctuary token. Who wouldn’t want one?’

’If possible, he would even be willing to pay a high price for it.’

’The Central Base definitely needed this Lord’s Sanctuary more than anyone.’

But now, meeting Seraphina Sullivan’s calm eyes, which seemed to see through everything, he immediately dismissed all such thoughts.

’This woman is unfathomable.’

’That shot with the Space Bullet, that Magic Scissors Bullet, and these teammates of hers, who clearly have perfect coordination and a variety of Abilities...’

’I can’t make an enemy of her.’

’Absolutely not.’

Brandon Barton’s thoughts raced, and the smile on his face grew a few degrees more sincere. "It all comes down to who has the skill. The fact that you obtained it, Miss Sullivan, just proves you’re strong enough.

Perhaps we can even cooperate in the future, if the opportunity arises."

Seraphina Sullivan watched him for a few seconds before the faint sense of aloofness around her dissipated slightly. She nodded. "You’re too kind, Captain Barton."

...

The words had barely been spoken when another figure came barreling over.

"Hey—! My man!"

Nicholas Jensen came jogging over, bypassing Seraphina Sullivan and Brandon Barton entirely to make a beeline for Sean Chandler.

His slender frame, next to Sean Chandler’s burly physique, looked like a small bird flinging itself at a massive tree.

"Long time no see, long time no see!" Nicholas Jensen threw his arms around Sean Chandler, slapping him firmly on the back. "You’ve gotten so much stronger! These muscles, this build... you just look so dependable! Super dependable!"

Sean Chandler seemed a bit stunned by the hug, standing rigidly in place with his hands hovering awkwardly, a rare look of helplessness on his face.

Dexter Luther, watching from the side, burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Sean, that look on your face is hilarious!"

Nicholas Jensen let go and tilted his head back to look up at Sean Chandler, who was a good head taller. Grinning like a child, he said, "You’ve got more transformations! You used to be a Werewolf, and now you have a giant bear form. That’s so cool! You can even pin down the Raging Cat Demon now. Awesome!"

Sean Chandler finally snapped out of his daze and let out a muffled "Mm."

Nicholas Jensen didn’t mind his reticence and patted his arm again before finally noticing that everyone was staring at him.

He scratched his head and gave a sheepish grin. "Ah, just got a little carried away seeing an old friend."

Watching this scene, Seraphina Sullivan’s gaze shifted between Nicholas Jensen and Sean Chandler, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

Nicholas Jensen’s small, thin frame standing next to Sean Chandler’s burly physique really did look like a little figurine.

’Add his unreserved enthusiasm to Sean Chandler’s silent, wooden reaction...’

’If she didn’t know Nicholas Jensen was already taken, she might actually be tempted to ship this pair.’ 𝓯𝑟𝕖𝗲𝒘ℯ𝗯𝔫𝗼𝖛𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝐨𝓂

’But...’

Seraphina Sullivan lowered her gaze to the token in her hand, then looked up again at the gradually calming nightscape in the distance.

’Tonight’s business isn’t over yet.’

’News of the Lord’s Sanctuary will spread quickly.’
