In Your Name

However, Harvey did not grant Sonia any more power, because if her strength increased too much all at once, her temperament and way of doing things might change.

In any case, Sonia normally did not need to do much. She only needed to handle some trivial matters for him.

Besides that, Sonia had plenty of free time. She could do whatever she needed to do and did not need to fight for the time being. She had plenty of time to grow, so there was no need to rush.

"Thank you for the opportunity, Lord Kassadin."

A few minutes later, when Sonia came back to her senses, her eyes were filled with amazement. Suppressing the shock in her heart, she gave a slight bow and spoke softly.

She finally understood why Mr. Dam had been filled with reverence for Lord Kassadin after believing in the Void.

That body, as vast as a galaxy, had made her truly feel how insignificant she was.

To receive the blessing of such a great and unknowable being was the highest honor.

Moreover, she would be able to draw closer to such an existence in the future and gain even greater power. That alone was already a blessing.

"Just keep using the same form of address. When I’m not around, all you need to do is monitor those people and gather information on whether they do anything out of line."

"Normally, just carry on as we discussed before."

"I won’t delay your salary, either."

Seeing that Sonia had changed the way she addressed him, Harvey gave the instructions casually.

"Understood, Mr. Kassadin."

Sonia nodded upon hearing that.

But soon, Sonia felt waves of hunger rising from her stomach, as though she had not eaten in a very long time.

Sonia raised her delicate brows at this, but said nothing.

"Don’t hold it in. Go find something to eat first."

Harvey noticed that Sonia was clutching her stomach yet refusing to say anything, so he spoke up.

"Thank you for your leniency, Mr. Kassadin, but I’ll be fine."

"This should also be a necessary part of gaining power."

"If I cannot even endure this initial hunger, then in the future, I may find it difficult to escape the fate of becoming a mindless monster and ultimately being killed by you, Mr. Kassadin."

Harvey was somewhat surprised by Sonia’s words, but he tacitly approved of her behavior and said casually, "Then help me report the repair costs."

Before Sonia had gained more power or tasted the temptation brought by power, she was already willing to endure hunger and temper her mind.

It was a good mindset, but whether she could carry it through smoothly was another matter.

If Sonia truly managed it, her future accomplishments would not be low.

After joining the Void, she would no longer lack power. More importantly, she would need to be able to keep her sanity at all times.

As long as she did not lose her mind and instead continued to let her own will govern everything, her strength would inevitably grow step by step with time.

Sonia agreed and went to the second floor of the villa to calculate the losses caused by Mr. Dam’s crash.

Harvey took out the Universal Communicator and began looking into the requirements for buying land on Xandar.

After investigating, he found that the requirements for non-Xandarian races to buy housing and land here were quite demanding.

Aliens who wanted to buy housing on Xandar had to have lived there for at least five years.

As for buying land, they had to have lived there for over ten years and could not have any record of violations on Xandar during that time.

Put bluntly, they needed local residency. Harvey was not someone who followed the rules.

He knew that if he had a Xandarian buy it, things would be much easier.

"Sonia, I want to bid on a plot of land in your name."

"The land auction will be held in three days. Come with me then."

Harvey was not someone who followed the rules, so there was no way he would wait that long. He spoke directly.

"Alright."

Having just finished calculating the costs and come downstairs, Sonia immediately agreed without hesitation when she heard that.

She knew that Mr. Kassadin wanted to buy land to establish the Void Cult’s site on Xandar, which would also be where she worked in the future.

Even if others might think she had been kept by Mr. Kassadin or spread other rumors about her.

Before this, Sonia might have hesitated, but after witnessing the greatness of the Void, she had nothing to hesitate over.

Besides, if Mr. Kassadin had desired her body, he could have found a way to deceive her long ago.

Since he had not done so before, it meant that Mr. Kassadin simply wanted to purchase the land in her name.

Fortunately, Mr. Dam had only smashed through the ceiling and had not damaged any decorations or artworks, so the repair costs would only be six thousand.

The repairs would take two hours to complete.

"If you find it too noisy, you can go out and have some fun for a while."

After agreeing, Sonia tapped the communicator in her hand with a jade-like finger and swiped out a projection.

It displayed the compensation and repair costs automatically assessed by the system after scanning.

"Have them come now."

After seeing it, Harvey tapped his hand and paid directly. He did not care about having to go out.

He had spent several months completing a large number of bounty missions and had thoroughly made a name for himself.

Now, he only wanted to rest for a while, eat some delicious food every day, and find something to pass the time instead of running around everywhere.

If not for buying the land, he would not even have bothered to attend the auction. Harvey lay down on the sofa and casually picked up a drink.

"…"

Seeing Mr. Kassadin lying on the sofa like a salted fish, Sonia understood that he clearly had no intention of going out today.

As for why, Sonia did not ask, nor was she qualified to pry.

However, since Mr. Kassadin did not intend to leave, Sonia took out her communicator and contacted the repair workers, reminding them to bring soundproofing material so they would not disturb the guest.

Then, Sonia stood to one side and waited.

Hunger rose from her stomach. Strangely, although it was difficult to endure, it did not leave her weak all over.

It seemed that eating was merely a desire, not something that had to be done whenever one was hungry.

Yet the more she thought about the cause of that hunger, the hungrier she became.

So Sonia began considering what she should wear to the auction in a few days so as not to embarrass Mr. Kassadin.

To be honest, Sonia still did not understand Mr. Kassadin’s true identity.

However, judging solely from his appearance and bearing, Mr. Kassadin had the aura of an important figure. As his companion, she had to pay attention to her image no matter what.

During the new book period, keeping up with the latest chapters was especially important.

This refers to the number of people who read up to the latest chapter within twenty-four hours.

This will affect the book’s future recommendation slots. Things are different now from before.

The requirements for keeping up with updates in the light novel category are even higher.

So please, everyone, don’t let chapters pile up. I’m really begging you!
