Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Furious Charlotte

In an instant, Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise.

For a moment, she even forgot to speak, but when she came back to her senses, she realized her blunder and quickly tried to divert the topic.

"Master, hahaha, what are you..."

"..."

But when she saw my stoic face, her words stopped midway, and she couldn't say anything else.

Charlotte and I looked at each other without blinking.

It was a silent confrontation between us.

To see whose resolve was stronger and who would give up first.

The weight of the atmosphere grew with each passing moment.

My stats were way lower than Charlotte's, which meant that my eyes turned a deep red much more quickly than Charlotte's did.

Veins etched their mark upon my sclera.

But despite the burning sensation in my eyes, I kept a blank expression on my face.

Witnessing this, and not wanting to see me suffer anymore, Charlotte's pupils trembled, and...she blinked.
