Chapter 70 – The Soulforger's Deal
Kaden didn't quite know what to say.
He was just here to complete his mission so that he could complete his quest and earn his rewards.
So why, all of a sudden, did he have to pay for something he didn't do?
Something his big brother did instead?
What kind of bullshit was that?
Kaden shook his head at Old Smith.
"Ma'am, you got the wrong saying. It's not the younger brother who has to pay for the older one. I mean, the opposite seems more logical."
"It doesn't matter," Smith said. "What matters is—you will have to pay for your brother's actions."
"Don't ask me why. It's because I decided so," she added, taking a puff from her pipe, her deep, hardened black eyes never leaving him.
Kaden started to frown.
"What if I don't want to?" he asked, his voice now cold.
Smith immediately noticed the shift.
She looked at Kaden and could clearly tell he was irritated by all this, but…
'He's not brute-forcing his way through, huh… interesting.'
