Bab 84: Sudden Encounter

"From my family's farm," Tobi said lying, with a sheepish poker face.

Gloria looked at him on the face, and then at the stalks of veggies he held in his hands.

"Oh! I get it now. You stole it from your farm. That explains a lot."

"Good gods, what a child." Gloria's voice was oozing sarcasm

Gloria went inside and returned with 20 coppers coins, before she could fully stretch the copper coins to him, Tobi had longed snatched the coins at a lightning pace instead.

Her words had fallen on deaf ears. Tobi's eyes could only see the coins on his hands, as soon as Gloria had stretched her hands, his hands had already moved forward.

After counting his coins to be exactly twenty together with the former coins, to be thirty copper coins. Tobi noticed Gloria was frozen in place.

Her mouth was open but no words were coming off it, her hands still stretched toward.
