Sincerity for Trade

Today was not an ordinary day for the sewers of the outer city.

Cold mist drifted, and there were corpses everywhere. The ornamented armors on the floor were dented and scattered everywhere on the frozen mud. In the nearby frozen murky waters, there were already pieces of ice drifting.

What made this day more unusual was that what had happened before happened once again.

On the brick flooring of the sewer, Benjamin was tormented by the curse as he was rolling around in pain and not able to do anything.

Another attempt at "I can retaliate", but another failure.

Michelle walked over the Cleaners’ corpses, and walked to Benjamin’s side. She stared down at Benjamin, without any expression of surprise, as if she had already expected this to happen.

"You never wanted to help me get the treasure, did you?" She said.

Benjamin wanted to reply, but the pain held him back from doing so.
