Silver treasure chest.
Ethan raised an eyebrow and put his hand on the doorknob. [T/N: PATHETIC!]
But the next second, he unexpectedly saw a prompt!
[Woman with ill intent: This woman has a metal dagger hidden at the small of her back, stained with human blood. Are you sure you want to let her in?]
[PS: But the woman is quite pretty, and she's carrying a lot of good stuff, might be worth considering. Hee~ Hee~ Hee~]
Three black lines appeared on Ethan's forehead!
'You, system "hee hee hee" my ass. If someone didn't know better they'd think this damn thing is a thinking AI.'
'Ah, whatever.'
'Since this woman has bad intentions, don't blame me for being cold-hearted and ruthless.'
"Come in."
Ethan opened the door.
Standing at the entrance was a woman wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and a pair of golden boots.
Her hair was tied in high twin-tails, looking very innocent, like she was in her teens.
But she wore bright red lipstick, and her eyes had a slightly seductive fox-like slant.
That strange combination gave off a Siren-like charm.
Both pure and seductive.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you so much!", Kathy put on an innocent look, biting her lower lip, "My name's Kathy, what's your name, big brother?"
"Ethan."
"Big brother, what are you roasting? It smells so good!"
Once inside, Kathy didn't bother to talk about returning Ethan's things.
Instead she kept ogling around his house.
She was stunned by what she saw.
'Is this really a player's house?'
This player in front of her had not only upgraded to a stone house, he even had workbenches, tons of meat, a storeroom piled with wood, and a huge filter that continuously supplied clean, precious drinking water.
Not only that, in one corner of the room there was a pet nest.
'What's that bird that's as tall as a person?'
'The golden eagle from "Divine Eagle and Relative"?'
"What I'm roasting is none of your business," Ethan shot Kathy a look, "You said if I let you in you'd return my stuff and the silver chest. Cut the crap, take it all out now."
'Uh?'
Kathy froze.
This was the first time her looks had failed her.
Before she was transported to this hellhole, she'd had some internet fame, every time she looked at a camera and did the "please big brother" face, gifts would pour in.
But this man not only wasn't interested, he even looked disgusted. Had her attractiveness declined?
"What are you standing there for?", Ethan snapped impatiently, "Do you expect me to finish my meal before you find the energy to pull your stuff out?"
"Big brother, I'm really hungry. How about you give your sister a piece of meat to eat? If you promise, sister will do anything!", Kathy fluttered her eyelashes at Ethan.
Her look was loaded with suggestion.
Usually, when she used this killer move, barely any man could resist, Jerry obeyed her every whim, after all.
Kathy couldn't believe this man would resist her attack.
Once he took the bait, she would be like a siren, ensnaring him until he couldn't escape.
Then, when he let his guard down, she'd strike like thunder and kill him.
'Then, his stone house, his storeroom, all his collected items, his equipment, everything would be mine!'
Kathy could already see herself after taking over this stone house, standing by the glass window, sipping red wine, watching the white snow outside, watching the monsters and beasts in the fog roar helplessly at the stone house.
"Oh, is that so?", Ethan heard her and immediately showed that everyone-understands smile, beckoning Kathy over, "Fine, come over! Give me a massage. If your service satisfies me, I don't mind treating you to a meal."
"Big brother, you're so kind!", Kathy smiled gratefully and, following Ethan's instruction, came over to massage him.
Everything was going smoothly.
Until, the instant Ethan closed his eyes from the pleasure of the massage—
Kathy's mouth tilted; she slyly slipped a hand behind her back to pull out the dagger at her lower back.
But the moment her hand reached behind, Kathy's expression froze!
Because the dagger at her small of the back—
'Is gone?'
'When did this happen!'
Kathy was utterly stunned; she couldn't figure out when she'd lost her dagger.
At that moment, Ethan suddenly flipped up, produced a dazzling cold dagger, and toyed with it in his hand, "Are you looking for this?"
"Wh-when did you take my knife?"
Kathy's eyes widened as she struggled to look up at Ethan.
At the same time, she stared at the dagger in his hand.
That was clearly her dagger.
The dagger she'd taken from the silver chest, the one that had been the source of her confidence.
With that dagger she could act without restraint; she could kidnap men at will and kill them.
But now—
"Weren't you saying that if I let you in you'd give me the good stuff? Fine, then I've just taken back what belongs to me. What's the problem?", Ethan said, dangling the dagger at Kathy's throat, "Besides, did I tell you to stop?"
"No, no—", Kathy was so shocked by this sudden turn that she could hardly speak.
But her fate was already in Ethan's hands; she dared not babble and could only obediently work.
She massaged until her arms were about to give out, as if they would snap.
Only then did Ethan nod in satisfaction and motion for Kathy to stop, "Alright. You did well. Too bad..."
"Too bad what?", Kathy purred obsequiously, "Big brother, aren't you satisfied with my service? I can do even better, uh—"
The next second, Ethan slit Kathy's throat with the dagger.
Warm blood splattered on his fingers. Kathy stared at the man in utter disbelief.
She clutched her neck, but the blood gushed out in a torrent no matter what she did.
That was the first time Ethan realized, a cut that small could bleed so much.
The blood in the throat shot out like a watering nozzle.
Nothing could stop it.
"Too bad, women only slow my sword-drawing speed!" [T/N: He said the thing!]
