Chapter 740 Falling for It

Alaric hadn’t brought Andre back, and Emma could tell it probably weighed on him.

When Emma told him to go wash his hands, he didn’t even mention Andre. At once, she understood.

Emma assumed he hadn’t managed to convince Andre, and she didn’t want him to feel bad about it, so she didn’t bring it up.

Alaric nodded and obediently went to wash his hands first. When he came back, he walked over to Emma and whispered, “Emma, why aren’t you asking about Andre? Aren’t you curious if I managed to get him to come?”

Emma waved her hand casually. “If he doesn’t come, it’s fine. These things are all about mutual consent.”

She smiled and gently touched Alaric’s face. “Besides, trading two Level 14 beast cores for one meal–having a sucker like Gaellard in this universe is already a miracle.”

Andre might be cold as ice, but he wasn’t stupid. He would never make such a terrible deal.

Hearing this, Alaric raised an eyebrow and dramatically clutched his chest. “Emma, are you saying you don’t trust my skills? You think I couldn’t even get that ice cube to come over?”

Emma didn’t know what to say. She was already trying to be considerate of his feelings, and now he was playing the victim and flipping it back on her!

Emma raised her hand and pinched Alaric’s exaggeratedly pouty face.

“Stop pretending to be upset. Judging by your reaction, it seems Andre has already taken the bait.”

Seeing no one else around, Alaric took her hand, leaned in, and quickly pressed a kiss to her lips. “I might not be as cunning as Silas, but I’m more than enough to deal with Andre.”

Seeing Emma didn’t push him away, he pushed a little further and kissed her quickly again. “Trust me, he’ll be here soon.”

Meanwhile, Andre stayed exactly where he was, unmoving, even after Alaric and Gaellard had left. The wind rustled the leaves above him as he replayed Gaellard’s words in his mind.

‘Even that quiet one, Jim, knew to give her clothes and beast cores after taking Emma away, just to please her. Andre, who thinks he’s better than Jim, can’t even compete. Honestly, he’s not half as clever as me and Jim combined.‘

Did he seriously think they were better than him?

He simply hadn’t realized that using gifts was a way to make a female happy. How could he be worse than Gaellard or Jim?

Come on, it was just a few Level 14 beast cores. Andre lifted his hand and opened his storage band, taking out the Level 14 beast cores inside.

Two? That was standard for someone like Gaellard, the fool.

If he wanted to prove he was stronger than Gaellard and more capable than Jim, he needed to overwhelm them in numbers.

Three? That still wouldn’t be impressive enough.

Andre thought for a brief second, then pulled out five. Five should be enough to prove both his wealth and his sincerity.

He stood up, his figure flashing as he transformed into a streak of icy blue light, disappearing from sight as he headed straight for the airship.

Inside the airship’s dining area, Corvin had just placed the last dish on the table. He was about to gather everyone when a sudden chill drifted in from the doorway. It wasn’t overpowering, but it was sharp enough to feel clearly.

Corvin turned and saw Andre standing at the entrance, expressionless. Before he could even speak, Emma, sensing the cold aura, immediately ran out from inside.

“Andre, you’re here.”

Emma looked at Andre as if he were a dazzling, glowing Level 14 beast core. Her smile lit up her face like a thousand stars.

Andre nodded at her. He glanced at Emma’s radiant expression and tugged at the corner of his mouth. Just a tiny movement- barely noticeable–but it was the closest thing to a smile he would show.

“I came to buy some food from you as well.” He spoke calmly, then extended his hand, placing five Level 14 beast cores in front of Emma.

Emma’s eyes went wide.

Good heavens… What kind of interstellar treasure trove was this?

She stepped forward and grabbed the beast cores from his hand, her face lighting up with pure joy.

“Wait a second! I’ll have them packed for you right away.”

Afraid that Andre might change his mind, she immediately instructed Corvin to bring over the pre–packaged food from the kitchen.
