"So, you're proud of robbing people now?" Aurianna mocked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"I only rob the rich to help the poor," Saem replied, his expression serious, as if this statement alone justified his actions.
"Oh, how noble of you. Should I clap?" Aurianna shot back, her voice tinged with mockery.
