Ilusia Kingdom, Waldley Town.
Inside an ocean-view suite at a luxury hotel.
A frightened expression appeared on Nico Robin's face. Her eyes were fixed on the silver-haired young man as she took a slight step back.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Sephiroth threw back his head and laughed before continuing:
"I'm not particularly interested in your 79 million Beli bounty.
Back when I worked as a bounty hunter, it was because I needed money...
But I don't lack money anymore, so you don't need to worry about me handing you over to the World Government."
Sephiroth looked at Nico Robin's worn-out dress and shoes and could not help sighing softly.
He finished the chocolate cake on his plate in a few bites, then got up and walked to the wardrobe. He took out two suitcases and placed them on the room's white bed before opening them.
One suitcase contained several outfits and masks, while the other was filled with stacks of ten-thousand-Beli notes.
After thinking for a moment, Sephiroth took half the money from the suitcase and tossed it into the other one.
Then he closed that suitcase and placed the remaining half-case of cash beside the girl.
"There are fifty million Beli inside. As long as you spend carefully, it'll be enough to last you a lifetime...
Of course! Don't flaunt your wealth. I suggest hiding the money in different places and retrieving it only when you need it..."
As if recalling something, Sephiroth looked at the girl's somewhat youthful face. He took out a white half-mask from inside his leather jacket and placed it before her.
"And... can't you wear a mask when you go out?
Do you really enjoy having people chase you everywhere?
Wear a mask that covers your whole face, or at least half of it. Unless
