บท 72: The Black Cat, Part Seven

{Zenith}

"A bounty?" Asuka asked, blinking. 

Zenith nodded. 

"To be honest, given that the reward is tokens, I'm a bit confused myself. I figured the reward would be more... tangible. Tamira, can you explain this?" 

The snake appeared almost as soon as Zenith made the request. 

"Not much to explain, to be honest," she replied, dancing in the air, spinning in little circles. "Dylan made use of the System's Bounty feature." 

"So, this is a System thing?" 

"Yes. He sacrificed a portion of his tokens to notify Players all around the world that he wants you dead." 

"How many?" Asuka asked, getting a little closer.

Tamira smiled at Zenith, subtly allowing her to answer that since she'd seen the number. 

"10000 tokens," Zenith muttered. 

"WHAT!?" Asuka pulled back, shocked.
