18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 283

The mastiff was not deterred, showing up every day.

Cooper had no shortage of bunny minions and had been deeply brainwashed by his owner. "Cooper, don't leave home without permission. You'll get trapped or poisoned. Then you won't have any steak to eat and won't be able to play with us anymore." So, even though the mastiff was persistent, Cooper stayed within the boundaries set by his owner. Occasionally, he would playfight with the mastiff, but it was always harmless. He had some sense of decorum as long as the other dog didn't push him too far. One day, Stella was walking the dog and the mastiff followed her. It was the epitome of loyalty.

"Stella." A voice came from behind.

Tracy was not far away, her eyes filled with complexity.

Stella frowned, "What do you want?"

Tracy took a deep breath, nervously saying, "Did you grow up in an orphanage? Do you have a pendant?"

Stella stared at her, her eyes sharp and icy. The cutting gaze made Tracy feel uncomfortable.

"Woof!" Cooper snarled, ready to attack.

"Woof!" The mastiff followed suit, looking much more ferocious.

Tracy was scared and stepped back.

"Tracy, there are some things that once said, you have to pay a price." Stella coldly warned, "If you can't afford the price, it's better to keep them to yourself."

Tracy was shocked and stood speechless.
