Laziel had entered the room in a hurry, and now green leaves and vines were sticking to his head. He resembled a swamp monster. Zerra jolted, her eyes temporarily widened before she recovered her senses. She was still angry at him. How can she help him? Clearing her throat, she asked him flatly. "What are you doing here?" There was a small hill of crystal cores on her table. She now could switch to her fox form temporarily, five minutes at most. When Laziel was knocking on her door, she was in her fox form. He was interrupting her meal! Thinking of this, she glared at him. Laziel scratched his head. Zerra was indeed still angry at him. Look at that fierce little face glaring ferociously at him like he owed her money. He pointed to the crystal cores on the table. "Zee, what are you going to do with those things?" Most of those weren’t crystal cores with wood attributes. The memory of a certain fox surfaced in his mind. But... that fox wasn’t here. Zerra coughed, attracting Laziel’s attention back. Facing those suspicious eyes, she was suddenly worried that the stupidity buff on her brother was gone once he broke up with Meira. "This... I am counting my money, obviously!" she grumbled, annoyed. "You were interrupting me, and now I had lost count!" He scratched his head. Not only had he interrupted her, he had also brought a troublesome ex who was after him, giving her trouble. "Do you like money so much?" He asked. She seriously nodded. No one would think that they had too much when it came to money! Moreover, this money meant crystal cores, which were also her food! Looking at her money-grubber expression, Laziel scratched his head. He suddenly had an idea. Should he give her crystal cores to lessen her anger? Ugh, he suddenly regretted a lot of stupid actions back then. He had given a lot of his crystal cores to Meira! With Zerra squinting her eyes at him, he swallowed. "Zee, sorry, I was really stupid back then. I-I hurt you..." He lowered his head and took out a small pouch from his pocket. All his money was there. Now, he was utterly penniless. "Here, I have some crystal cores. When I have more, I will give them to you," he said with a determined expression. Zerra wasn’t polite. She took the crystal cores and pursed her lips. "Promise?" "Of course. My pocket money will be yours too." Whenever their dad went out, he would still divide the crystal cores he had gotten among the three of them equally. But that was still too little. Laziel decided he should hurry and increase his power so that he could hunt more mutated animals. They were going out this time, and it was his chance! He held out his little finger. Zerra’s eyes twitched, yet she still held out hers too while grumbling. She felt like they were little kids. After they separated their fingers, Laziel looked around the room, still with the leaves and vines on his head, covering his head green. He didn’t seem to be bothered by it. "Are you going to put these things in your space, Zee?" She thought about it and nodded. "Let me pick some first," he said. "Elder sister might also want some." With that, she got one free laborer to clean her room. Her meal was interrupted, and she couldn’t show her fox form to Laziel, so she put her crystal cores back into her inner world. Laziel moved around the room with the green on his head. Oh, she just noticed his strange behavior. It seemed like her older brother had gotten a little crazy because Meira had been putting a green hat on his head. Laziel tried the sweet berries. The sweetness melted in his mouth, making him feel better, but not for long. They heard Meira’s voice again. "Azi... I know you are inside. Can you give me one last chance to talk to you before I go to the base?" Zerra’s mouth twitched. Laziel stole a glance at his little sister. He almost forgot about a certain troublesome person. Now, she was chattering noisily, disturbing Zerra. "I will go to take care of it." He gritted his teeth. His good mood was gone again. He had just reconciled with his sister, and he didn’t want to have anyone destroying that! This woman was really like a sticky gum! In order not to let Meira see the inside of Zerra’s room, he quickly slammed the door once he was outside. "What do you want?" He clenched his jaw, his eyes sharp as they landed on Meira. Meira’s lips trembled. After her deeds were exposed, Laziel’s treatment of her went through a hundred and eighty degree change. He was so harsh, as if she were his greatest enemy. Google seaʀᴄh novel⟡fire.net "Azi... please give me a chance. I will be better, I won’t–" He cut off his words. "I am not interested in listening, so save your words." In a mocking tone, he pointed in Darren’s direction and said, "Go chase after him. He is more powerful and has a lot more influence than me. Don’t you like him?" It wasn’t that Laziel wanted to break Nyra and Darren’s relationship. Besides, it didn’t seem to be official yet. He just wanted to see what kind of person Darren was. Once a man had wealth and power, they might not be satisfied with one woman. His eldest sister shouldn’t let herself settle for such a man! If she got herself a partner, it should be someone who was wholeheartedly devoted to her. Darren hadn’t proved himself to be reliable so far. But his eye for judging people was indeed poor, so that would leave room for doubt. Meira was stunned. Before she could speak again, Darren had gone inside to call her name. It was time for her to go back to the base. She had no choice but to go. Laziel heaved a sigh of relief. When her mind was occupied, he had slipped back to Zerra’s room. They didn’t have enough time to pick all the berries! The rest of the ability users waited, and when the team came back, they immediately set off to the forest.
