Sylvia's POV:

Although I could feel Blair's shocked eyes gawking at me, I ignored him deliberately and walked up to the old man. I slung the bag onto the table and said, "I need you to do something for me. This is the reward."

Murray scoffed at me disdainfully and then opened the bag. I watched as his eyes widened in stunned disbelief when he saw all the jewelry inside. His mouth was agape, like a man stranded on a deserted island, who hadn't seen another person in years, suddenly saw a ship full of people to rescue him. "So many invaluable treasures..."

I secretly let out a sigh of relief when I saw his reaction. Fortunately, I had brought some small gifts from Rufus with me before going out, in case of an emergency.

However, even though the reward was bountiful, I was still very nervous because Murray had made it clear that he despised anyone who carried the bloodline of the black witch.

I took a deep breath to strengthen my resolve before I looked at Murray again. However, to my surprise, he put the reward away safely, coughing with embarrassment, and said, "But since you're just a hybrid, I'm willing to make an exception. It couldn't hurt to just have a talk, right?"
