Vladimir's words naturally drifted into Mike's ears.
But Mike didn't react, nor did he punish Vladimir.
Vladimir had long since gone bankrupt—there was nothing left for Mike to take from him.
Vladimir knew this too, which was why he had grown bolder over time.
From Vladimir's perspective, he had given Thor his absolute loyalty, handed over all his wealth, and even sold his soul to Thor.
Thor wasn't the type to take pleasure in tormenting his subordinates.
When it came to those who had no money, Thor was always very kind—a good boss, by any measure.
Many vampires even said that working under Thor was the best fortune they had earned in several lifetimes.
So, when there was no profit to be made, Vladimir was absolutely safe!
Even when there was profit, there wasn't much to worry about—Thor would quickly take it all anyway.
This self-deprecating, self-sabotaging approach was Vladimir's way of getting closer to Thor.
