"I thought we are friends who work together," Michael said and put an innocent look on his face that fooled Gaya to think he was serious.
Thinking he was really going to agree to her terms, she gently patted his hand and said,
"Of course we are human, but favors like working for free break friendships. We can share the profit and continue to taste the fruits of our friendship, what do you say?" Michael could notice even she was trying to fight the urge to burst into laughter after shamelessly lying like this.
If she was born on earth, she would have made an excellent politician.
"You're right, friends should not continue to work for free and we shouldn't owe each other anything, am I right?" Micheal asked as Gaya nodded with a grin.
"I will give you 50% of the profit"
"REALLY?! I mean... you will?" She almost screamed out loud in surprise but she quickly regained her composure and asked. Her face brightened and she wanted to dance around in joy.
"So when are you going to give the 5million gold you owe me?" The smile froze on Gaya's face. she knitted her brows in confusion.
"What 5 million? What're you talking about?" Micheal retrieved the bounty poster and showed it to her with a devilish grin on his face. Gaya's hands started to tremble when her gaze fell on the poster. The reason for her reaction might be because of shock or fear but one thing was sure, she's in deep shit.
"Xanali, that bitch!" she tore the poster into pieces and threw it away.
However, her anger turned into panic and fear when she saw the look on Michael's face. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she thought he's going to hand her over to them for 4 million gold. Right this moment, she wanted to punch herself for asking 50% of the profits.
"Hu..human" she put on her best pleading face and meekly called Michael like a scared kitten.
"So when are you planning to give me the 5million gold?"
"Isn't it 4million?"
"You said friends should not work for free right? 4miilion for not handing you over to Xanali and 1million for the pills you have swallowed until now, for free" Just as he said, she leaped at him and hugged him tightly. This reaction of her surprised him but he knew this snake was trying to use this hug as a bribe.
"Forgive me for asking 50% human. Please don't hand me over to that bitch, you know what they do to me" she was even able to conjure enough tears to wet his shoulder. Michael was having fun laughing out loud in his mind and continued to mess with this shameless snake.
"But you said friends shouldn't work for free and that would break friendships"
"Fuck what I said, I was just messing with you. I will never ask something like that for real, hoo..hoo" she sobbed hugging him
"But what about the fruits of our friendship?" he could feel her grip around his neck tighten. She continued to sob and talk
"What kind of friend charges for helping a friend. Only heartless horrible fuckers would try to take advantage of their friends"
"So you're not going to ask for 50% of the profits?"
"Of course not, I'm happy as it is. Just don't hand me over to them" He chuckled and hugged her back. If this snake was using this hug to her advantage, he also deserved to enjoy this hug.
"Alright then, I won't hand you over to Xanali. But remember, you're in deep shit. Poster like this is all over Bredia and every adventurer and wannabe disciple is searching for you" she tried to wiggle herself out of the hug but he didn't let her
"You are safe only as long as you are with me. Without the mask I gave you, you are good as dead"
"I promise, I won't leave you human" she tried to sound truthful as she possibly could.
"You know how many girlfriends said this before they became exes"
(No offense to my female readers, it's Michael who said this)
Michael's inner voice reminded him while he patted her on the back.
"I know you won't"
"Thank you human, now can you let me go?" she tried her best to wiggle herself out but how could a mortal like her overpower someone like Michael.
"It feels good, doesn't it? Let me hug you for a little longer"
"Speak for yourself, let...me go, you bastard" she came back to her usual self and scolded Michael. He was chuckling while she kept punching his back
