Polly's eyes widened. "What did I forget? Oh, do you want me to sleep with you? Sure, come on."After saying that, she offered herself to him like a fish on a chopping block.Seth scoffed. "Are you still playing dumb with me? Show me that necklace you took. Let me see what it's worth."Polly's expression shifted slightly, and she forced a smile. "Um… I think the way you distributed the loot just now was perfectly fair. Let's leave it at that."Seth did not say anything more. He just stared at her in silence, letting the tension build up in the air.A bead of cold sweat trickled down Polly's forehead.She gulped, the sound especially loud in the silence."Oh, fine! Alright, I’ll do it."In the end, Polly gave in and obediently placed the item in front of her.Seth picked up the pendant and examined it carefully.First, he used his mind energy, but nothing happened. Then, he injected a wisp of his spiritual energy into it. The pendant instantly emitted a bright light.It burne

They were supposed to leave the house, but after Elise challenged Seth like that, they were occupied for more than an hour.Once they were done, Elise redid her makeup and wasted the better part of another hour.Seth seriously suspected she had done it on purpose.Finally, the two of them went out like a normal couple.Elise clung to Seth's arm. Her face was rosy, her skin glowing. She was in an incredibly good mood.She drove to a street with Warhawk-style architecture, known as Rich Lane.Any item here cost at least 10,000 dollars. Only the rich could afford to shop here.There would often be young, beautiful, and gorgeously dressed women loitering on this street.When they saw any men who shopped here alone, they would create some chance encounters to try and hook up with a rich husband.Of course, there were plenty of men looking for rich wives, too.Elise said she wanted to buy Seth some clothes for Seth, but once they got here, she dragged him around to buy all kinds of

“Pfft!” Elise burst out laughing and gave Seth a thumbs-up. "Haha, I like the sound of that."Ed was shaking with rage. No one had ever dared to talk to him like that.Although he was only a low-rank esper, he had a very high status. No matter where he went, he commanded respect.There was no way he could tolerate being publicly humiliated by an ordinary-looking guy like Seth.He clenched his fists tightly and secretly gathered the power in his body. He wanted to execute Seth right then and there.Seeing that he was still unwilling to leave, Elise took out her phone from her bag. "Are you still pestering me? I'll call my father, then."Ed's expression changed, and he immediately backed off. "No, no. I'll leave now."You have to believe me, I've always loved you. I just made a mistake that every man in the world would make! I'll leave now, give you some space to calm down.”With that, he walked out. Before he left, he glanced back at Seth coldly.The woman with him hurriedly fo

Seth kept his cool. "You pals with this Seth guy, old-timer?""Grandpa doesn't know heroes like Seth." Tina huffed, her eyes sparkling with pure hero worship. "Seth's my ultimate idol. He took on dozens of countries all by himself and still got away! I swear, I'm gonna marry a hero like him one day." To back up such legends, there were definitely epic battle videos somewhere. After Tina saw them, her crush on Seth went through the roof. Every other guy became total garbage in her eyes. Elise was not having any of it, though. She knew about Seth, sure, but she never bothered with the videos—too much violence for her taste. To the folks in Longford, Seth was a legend, but to the Warhawk crowd, he was nothing but a big, ugly blot on their history. Imagine if Elise and Tina knew that the guy they were gushing over and dissing was actually right there. Seth just grinned and joked, "Me? Know a big-time hero like Seth? As if!" He was totally giving himself a secret pat on the back.

The garment puffed up like it was alive, hammering against the glass dome until Phil and the crew were slack-jawed."What in the world?!""Did we just witness some kind of magic?!"The glass dome could not take the beating and exploded into a million pieces.The jacket-like garment soared through the air and stopped right in front of Seth. With a brilliant flash, it slipped onto him as if it had a mind of its own. The black fabric screamed elegance and power, fitting Seth like a second skin. It was as if it had been made just for him. A wave of unseen force radiated from him, making Tina, Phil, and Elise's eyes go wide. They felt like they were in the presence of someone legendary. Their bodies were shaking with an uncontrollable urge to bow down in awe. "No way it's just a garment," Seth whispered, his voice laced with awe. It was not just any garment but one of the highest caliber, with a faint spirit stirring inside it—an instrumental spirit. A treasure with an instrum
