The Devil's way of business

Chapter 24 : Truthful deception

" What is wrong with this body it ate an entire part of the library I was making " Count complained as they tried to fill it up feeling some parts of their body being absorbed " HEY DON'T GET MY UNFILTERED MEMORIES "

" Is what it showed before I woke up to this filth of a woman hadn't made my morning stressful " " " I see so it wasn't complete but it sounds like you made Reed's friend do a lot of work " " Yep a lot of work "

Karma made a big sigh as Isir said " Hey boss aren't we going to that poor country " " Oh yeah I have some cash somewhere at my old house you should be able to get it " " Okay " Isir disappears and Karma turns to Sally .

" COUNT YOU BETTER TAKE BACK THAT DEAL YOU MADE WITH SALLY " ' I see then it's time for us to blackmail ' Karma whispered something as Sally was curious but without her former power she could only rely on reading the lips .

But Karma had to cover his lips before using the information he knew " By the way Sally are you fine with eating street from the dirt cheap corners of the earth ? " " You are going to treat me to that kind of food ? "

" Yeah after all I never stated when I should give you the luxury pack " Sally was flustered by her blunder " But trust me I will hold our deal " Sally saw as the words Karma spoke were etched into a stone gablet with glowing light .

" See I even promised to do it " " Fine I'll wait " " Good cause I also want to try some " Karma licks his lips as Isir returns " I got the money " " Okay then let's go " they appeared behind some alleys and exited .

Sally noticed her clothing " Uhm why does it look a bit torn ? " " If it isn't , we won't look like locals " Isir said " Oh over there " they each bought a tall cup filled with skewers of barbeque filled with vinegar sauce .

" So tasty " Karma said as Sally couldn't bring herself to eat chicken " Hey are you trying to make me break up with Ziz " " It would be better though if I could get rid of your relationship " Sally looked at Karma with disdain .

' Is it because you slept with me ? ' " But you were the one who hasn't noticed that they were cooking chicken so I didn't plan for it and it was the nearest stall from here "

" I'm gonna throw it " " Now hold on " Isir said as they pointed out " Unlike other countries this place has good food moreover there aren't any locals who would waste food here "

Sally tilts the tall cup as Isir grabs her hand " What do you think you are doing ? " " I don't want to break up with Ziz " " don't worry Ziz doesn't know where we are "

Karma said trying to break the awkward mood " This isn't the only reason I don't want to eat this dirt " Karma turned to Isir who understands .

" Why is it because you think you are filthy rich so you shouldn't eat this dirt cheap street food ? " " No it's because it has a part of pestilence in it " Sally's eyes widened as Karma said .

" You said something really interesting haven't you ? Then the source of all these waters must be were we can find the arrows of pestilence " " How did you know they were arrows ? "

The two smiled at Sally " Thanks for confirming that they were arrows looks like we just have to get there and get it ourselves " Isir said as Sally couldn't believe how easily she danced in their palms .

" You what are you planning ? " " Oh Isir I just can't have that dangerous weapon around the unfortunate and least privileged I would be too cruel to have to not help you know ? " Karma said poking at Sally's conciousness .

" Hey don't ignore me " " So Sally our former behemoth can you please tell me where you can feel the arrows ? " Sally turned away as Isir followed her gaze " Come on Sally just work with us a little I'm sure you could use the merit for money "
