“Dustin, since we got what we came for, should we leave now?” Abigail asked.
“There’s no need to rush.” Dustin shook his head. “If we leave too soon, it might raise suspicion. Let’s stay a little while longer. We’ll leave when someone leaves.”
“Alright, there’s plenty to eat and drink anyway, and there’s performances to watch. And it’s all free. I think it’s a shame to leave now too.” Abigail chuckled.
With so many delicacies and fine drinks, they would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for it themselves. But they could enjoy it all for free here. It was indeed a luxurious experience.
“Mr. Adams…” Dahlia suddenly approached them with a smile.
“Thank you for saving my life earlier. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been killed by the Onyxclaw. This is a small gift of my appreciation. I hope you’ll accept it.”
As she spoke, she took out an emerald badge and handed it to Dustin with both hands. The back of the emerald badge was exquisitely carved with dragons and phoenixes, displaying exquisite craftsmanship. On the front, the word ” Mosey” was carved on it.
“You’re welcome, Ms. Nicholson. But it was nothing really. Even if I hadn’t stepped in, I believe there would’ve been many brave heroes that would,” Dustin said, downplaying his role.
He made the risky decision to save her due to their past relationship and didn’t expect anything in return.
“No matter how you put it, you were indeed the one who saved me. It’s only right for me to express my gratitude.
“This is the Moseys’ consultant badge. If you require any assistance in the future, you can use this badge to reach out to me. I’ll be sure to offer my full support,” Dahlia insisted, pushing the emerald badge into Dustin’s hands once again.
“I” Dustin hesitated.
“This emerald badge must be very expensive, right?” Abigail asked expectantly.
“Expensive?”
Dahlia was slightly taken aback. She then nodded with a smile, “I suppose so.”
Moseys’ consultant badge was a priceless treasure far beyond the measure of mere money. Having it was akin to having the Moseys as an ally of support.
This was an opportunity for which even the wealthiest people would sacrifice their wealth.
“Hehe, then we’ll gladly accept it!” Upon hearing about its value, Abigail accepted the emerald badge without hesitation.
Even if they didn’t use it for themselves, they could sell it to someone else. There was no reason to refuse such a priceless treasure.
“Thank you, Ms. Nicholson,” Dustin gave in. If he continued refusing her, it might lead to her suspecting them instead.
“Mr. Adams, please enjoy yourselves. I won’t disturb you any longer.” After a slight nod, Dahlia prepared to leave.
“Ms. Nicholson, please wait a moment, “Dustin suddenly called out.
“Mr. Adams, is there anything else?” Dahlia turned back, looking puzzled.
“Ms. Nicholson, since you gave me the emerald badge, I’d like to offer you a few words in return.”
Dustin continued seriously, “I believe Onyxclaw suddenly losing control was not an accident but a deliberate setup.”
“A setup?” Dahlia furrowed her brow slightly.
“What makes you think so, Mr. Adams?
“Onyxclaw showed no signs of unusual behavior at first. But after approaching you, it seemed to have been triggered and suddenly turned aggressive. Don’t you find that strange?” Dustin asked in return.
“It was indeed strange, but I still don’t have an explanation for it.” Dahlia shook her head.
She didn’t believe in the idea that the Onyxclaw was spiritual and could distinguish between good and evil. Although she was no saint, she would never harm anyone.
“If I’m not mistaken, someone did something to you, “Dustin explained.
“What do you mean?” Dahlia was puzzled.
