David looked at the cute little girl in front of him.
He was afraid of abandoning the little girl and making her fend for herself.
It would be fine if they had not run into each other, but now that they had, it was fate.
Besides, what if such a small and cute girl ran into a bad guy or a pervert?
Furthermore, David was pretty fond of this cute little girl.
âIâll keep her around then!â
Following him could save the little girl a lot of time too.
Because he had to spend at least trillions, even quadrillions, of L Dollars in The Spirit Cage.
With so much money, he could buy many treasures to restore her soul power.
After making the decision, David lectured with a straight face, âYou canât steal no matter what! This is a matter of principle! If you start stealing at such a young age, what will happen to you when you grow up? If everyone steals things that are beneficial to them just like you, wouldnât the world be in chaos?â
Since he had decided to keep her around, David needed to lead her down the right path.
Stealing was absolutely out of the question.
Such a young child could not go down the wrong path.
Education should start an an early age.
âS-Sir, Iâm sorry! I...I will pay them back double in the future,â the little girl whispered.
She did not expect that this man whose smell comforted her would suddenly change his tone.
Seeing the other partyâs reaction, David felt a little distressed again. He held the little girlâs face in both hands and said softly, âI will help you pay them back for all the treasures you owe them. From now on, you will follow me and stop stealing, okay? Just tell me what you need, and I will buy it for you.â
âReally?â The little girlâs eyes lit up and she asked excitedly.
âYeah! From now on, you will follow me around and I will buy you whatever you need.â
âGreat! Thank you, Sir!â
The little girl hugged David excitedly. She put her arms around Davidâs neck and vigorously breathed in Davidâs scent.
She felt her body recovering when she took in Davidâs scent.
âSince you agree to follow me, itâll be hard to address you without a name, so from now on youâll be called Pebbles! What do you think?â
âGreat! Awesome! I have a name now! My name is Pebbles,â the little girl cheered happily.
David stood up with Pebbles in his arms and said to Thor, âMr. Rivers, how many treasures has Pebbles stolen from you? You should gather everyone and then calculate the value of all the treasures.
I will compensate you all.â
Thor, Beanie, and the surrounding guards looked at David in disbelief.
âIs he really going to pay off the debt for this little girl?
âThey just met!
âIn three months, the sum of all the things Pebbles stole was absolutely astronomical.
âNo matter how rich you are, itâs not how you should spend your money.
âDoes he think money falls from the sky?â
Thor did not know how to answer for a moment.
He did not know if David was being serious or if he was joking.
If he called everyone over and then got stood up, he would get scolded.
Thor did not answer right away, but asked, âMay I know how I can address you two?â
âMy name is David Lidell.â
âMy name is Beanie Nacht.â
The two spoke one after the other.
âMaster David and Ms. Nacht!â
After Thor finished speaking, he pointed to the Pebbles hanging on Davidâs body and asked, âAre you sure you want to pay her debts? Youâre not joking, right?â
âDo you think Iâm joking?â David asked back.
