In the old stories of the end of the world, they would kill their prey once it took the bait, but at this end of the world, they could not, because of the murderer system. So they would probably just tie up their prey and rob it of its supplies.
It seemed Jude would have to throw some counter bait at them. He put his long knife away and put his hand under her chin like a playboy.
"If I protect you, what will you give me?"
"Wh-wh-what do you want...?"
Terrified eyes and a terrified voice. If this woman was just acting, she deserved an award for it. Jude deliberately let his gaze drift downward.
"Shouldn't you show me some sincerity before I help you?"
"..."
Her eyebrows trembled, but she still placed her hand on her chest.
At this point, their distance was extremely close. And she must have thought his guard was down.
So wasn't this a great opportunity to show her true colors?
