The playful smile on Eren's lips disappeared. The time for games was over. It was time for him to get serious.
He had the precious Crystalline Herb in his possession, a herb that Zia had been searching for tirelessly. It was a powerful bargaining chip that he could use to his advantage.
Zia's anger turned into desperation as she realized the gravity of the situation. According to Eren, this was the last Crystalline Herb he had. If he broke it, even killing him a thousand times couldn't make up for it.
"What do you want?" she asked. "Do you want me to apologize? Do you want money? I'm willing to give you everything!"
"Everything?" Eren questioned, a hint of amusement in his tone. "Even yourself?"
"You..." Great Elder Zia looked at Eren in disgust.
Observing her reaction, Eren looked at Zia with a weird expression. He could roughly guess the strange thoughts that were going through her mind.
