บท 156: Sign of Respect

When Shi Tian thought about what type of scheme Mary was cooking, he was somewhat afraid yet amazed by her intelligence. 

With just a tiny bit of information given to her, she could easily capitalize on that to her advantage. 

She was just a receptionist? 

If people actually believed that, then they might even die without knowing how and why. 

Mary herself could be considered a strategist or chancellor given her superior adaptation of any situation.

"I should be worried about myself too, right?" Shi Tian asked, wondering if she was going to scheme against him as well. 

"Are you my enemy?"

"Um.. if I recall, no, we're not enemies." 

"Then why should you be worried?" Mary raised an eyebrow. 

"I might seem cruel, but at the very least, I'm decisive and clear with my motive. Toward allies, I wouldn't scheme or harm them, but toward enemies. Then that's a different story." She added, justifying her action.
