No one else could match Gillian’s capability. Few beings across the entire Wasteland City were able to mine blackstone ore.

All Merrick needed to do was approve the land allocation and mark the territory for her. She would simply pay the required protection fees afterward.

These words lingered on Gillian’s tongue. Yet she worried that once the blackstone deposits beneath Wilder Peak came to light, Merrick might restrict her movements. He could choose to mine the ore alone and leave her out entirely.

“I see I failed to think things through, Commander Cole. Let us drop this matter, then. If we cannot reach an agreement, there is no need to push this cooperation forward. Plenty of others in Wasteland City are willing to strike a deal with me.”

Gillian’s expression turned cold. She pulled her arms back, shut down her wrist terminal, and tried to slip out of Merrick’s embrace.

Merrick would never let her leave so easily.

He wrapped his strong arms firmly around her waist and drew her right back. Her elegant back pressed closely against his chest.

“Let me go right now!”

“Are you upset with me, Gillian?”

Gillian knew she could not break free, so she stopped struggling forcefully.

She did not even bother to take out her hidden needles. She feared the needles might snap and hurt herself instead.

“You intend to seek help from someone else? Who else do you plan to turn to?”

Merrick’s tone grew heavy. The thought of Gillian approaching other male beings irritated him greatly. “Any male will do. Anyone strong enough to carry a hundred-plus pounds works for me.”

Gillian spoke in a fit of anger, her cheeks puffed up in obvious displeasure. She refused to back down in the slightest.

“You get so mad over one simple question, and now you want to find someone else. At least tell me what this valuable item actually is.”

Gillian turned her head away, clearly unwilling to say another word.

“You do not trust me at all, Gillian.”

Merrick grew infuriated. He held her chin gently and leaned in for a kiss, overwhelmed by frustration at her stubborn attitude.

When her eyes turned watery, and she struggled to catch her breath, his anger flared even more and he deepened the kiss without restraint.

He finally pulled away the moment soft whimpers escaped her, and she felt nauseous.

He looked utterly stunned and hurt. “You feel disgusted? How could you feel disgusted being close to me?”

Right then, Gillian covered her mouth and rushed straight to the restroom. She leaned over the sink and heaved repeatedly.

Merrick hurried after her. When he saw her in such discomfort, panic crept into his heart

Gentle and delicate as she was, she was far different from his rough self. He blamed himself entirely for his reckless behavior.

He raised his hand and patted her back softly to soothe her unease.

“I own vast assets and resources. Would I ever covet such small gains of yours? Why do you doubt me so much and even draw up a strict contract against me?”

Gillian’s heart softened all of a sudden, and her eyes stung faintly.

She splashed some clear water on her face to calm the churning discomfort in her stomach.

After regaining her composure, she stood straight and faced Merrick.

“It is nothing remarkable after all. It makes sense that you would not value it.”

Spotting the faint tears glistening in her eyes, Merrick instantly softened his stance and pulled her tightly into his arms.

“You are the one feeling wronged now. Only God knows how much grievance I have held inside. Such a stubborn little thing, you even shed tears over this.”

Hearing him call her stubborn, Gillian felt tempted to bite him out of annoyance.

“I will not take a single share of whatever you have discovered. I will assist you free of charge. All the gains shall belong solely to you. Does that satisfy you?”

Merrick discarded the previous contract, held Gillian securely in his arms, and projected his optical terminal screen outward.

“You transferred 200 million coins into my account earlier. You are already such a wealthy female. What else do you have to worry about? This is the first time I have ever been financially supported by a female.”

“That money is not meant for you. I only left it in your account temporarily. Constant fund transfers would cost too much extra handling fees.”

Gillian refused to admit it plainly, for she fully planned to take those coins back sooner or later.

Merrick could not help but laugh at her sharp-tongued reply.
