Bab 202: You're lucky

"But instead of water, it's money. Please, master. Make that wish come true."

"Sure." Asher laughed, dragging himself up clumsily. Fortunately, he was able to hold on to the pillar. The two of them returned to his room. His wallet was just sitting right on the nightstand. It was thick, just as expected. 

Cosette stood excitedly on his side while he grinned at her, holding the wallet in his hands. 

"Are you ready?" he asked, and she nodded profusely. 

Her excitement, however, was soon replaced with puzzlement when Asher cocked his head to the side. 

"What?" she asked, concerned.

Asher looked back at her with a deep frown. "I only have a thousand." He took out the bills to show her.

"Huh?" 

Seeing that she looked at him with doubt, Asher showed his wallet to her. Aside from the multiple cards that made it appear thick, there was no other cash aside from those in his hand.
