Ace sighed, tapping his fingers against the wooden table. "Calm down, kid. We will go."
Blind Dog raised his head, his milky eyes glistening. "R-Really? Right now?"
Ace studied blind dog for a while. Then, with a flick of his hand, he took back one of the spirit apples. "Alright, we'll go now."
Blind Dog jolted up, panic flashing in his face. "Wait! Why are you taking one back?"
Ace smirked. "If we're leaving, then you don't need two."
Blind Dog hesitated, his fingers clutching the remaining apple tighter.
He gulped, but in the end, he nodded rapidly. "O-Okay! Let's go."
Ace stood, stretching lazily before ruffling the boy's hair. "Lead the way, little scammer."
Blind Dog didn't even react to the insult. He just turned and rushed toward the door.
Ace followed, his mind already thinking through possibilities.
Was the boy really telling the truth, or was this just another prank? Either way, there was only one way to find out.
