honor me as god

Chapter 14 Be Polite
The fire of hope rekindled in Ramos' eyes, and the chicken nodded as if pecking at rice, waiting for Kino's next words.

Chino took out Yinyue from his pocket and played with it in his hand. His voice was calm: "I want to ask a few questions first. If you are put into the lower epidemic area, how much time will you have for the rest of your life?"

Ramos seemed to have thought of something terrible and whispered: "At most half a month"

Chino: "How much can you earn in half a month?"

Ramos was a little confused and didn't understand the logic of the question, but he still replied: "I can earn 27 Iron Moons a day now. If it is half a month, er. Yes. How much."

Luca's mind turned quickly, hugging her father's neck, and reminded in a low voice, "405 Iron Moons."

Ramos patted his forehead: "Yes, 405 Iron Moons."

Kino continued to ask, "Where's Luca?"

Ramos was inexplicably uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles: "She is still young, so she can only help with some manual work. She can only earn 3 Iron Moons a day, if it is half a month."

Chino: "45, a total of 450 Iron Moons, this is the value of the rest of your life."

"Ding." He threw the silver moon in his hand into the air, caught it, and covered it on the back of his hand: "King or laurel?"

When Paladin heard the sound, his face turned pale with fright.

Ramos didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and asked tentatively, "Sir, what do you mean?"

Chino shrugged: "It's up to you to choose, anyway, it's either the king or the laurel flower, choose one."

Ramos then realized that Chino was playing a coin game with him, and he whispered, "If I guess right, what will my daughter and I get?"

Chino's signature smile once again appeared on his face: "Everything for the rest of my life."

Ramos' gray eyes were lit up. He just wanted to choose, but he hesitated for a while, then opened his eyes and asked, "Then if I guess wrong, what will my daughter and I lose?"

Chino was still smiling, not even the curvature of the corners of his lips changed: "Everything for the rest of my life."

At this moment, Ramos finally reacted, his face was bloodless, he held Luka in his arms and stepped back, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "I don't play this. I don't want to choose."

Chino: "You want a chance, and now the chance is in front of you. The chips on both sides are absolutely fair. Choose, the king or the laurel?"

"No no no no! I don't want this opportunity anymore!"

"Life is not a game, every step you make can't be undone, like I can't put it back in my pocket right now, unless you tell me whether it's a king or a laurel."

"My lord! I was wrong! My lord! My daughter is still young. You can't treat her like this!"

"Then bravely go and save her. I can't do this step for me, because you are her father, I am not. So, choose, the king or the laurel?"

Ramos was terrified and kept slapping himself in the face, mumbling sorry in his mouth, as if this would undo the mistake.

Luca was young and didn't know that her and her father's lives had been staked on the silver moon, which had become a gamble. She thought it was just a game, so she looked at them with wide eyes.

Seeing that Ramos refused to speak, Kino's smile gradually disappeared, and he issued an ultimatum: "King, or Laurel?"

Under the oppression of death, Ramos was so confused that he was too frightened to utter a complete sentence.

Kino looked sideways at Palatine, who understood that, even though he was helpless, he could only draw out his saber and walk towards Ramos.

Seeing Paladin coming with a knife, Ramos was so frightened that he was crying, hugging Luca tightly and protecting her in his arms.

Luca also hugged Dad obediently, and touched his face with her little hands to help him wipe his tears.

Shadows shrouded the father and daughter, Paladin raised his hand, and the blade radiated a cold glow in the last afterglow of the setting sun.

"laurel flower." Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded.

Luca looked at Chino and said in a milky voice, "I choose laurel, I like its fragrance very much."

Hearing the sound, Chino removed his palm and looked at the back of his hand.

Paladin also stopped and looked over subconsciously.

On the back of her hand, Laurel showed a gentle smile.

"Yeah! I guessed it right!" Luca cheered and applauded, her small animal ears trembling with the rhythm.

"Very good." Chino smiled and applauded for her, "I will take out 450 Iron Moons from my salary and have Palatine deliver them tomorrow."

Luca said sweetly, "Thank you, Lord Kino."

"Um~ you're very polite. How old are you?"

"Eleven. It's my birthday today, and I'll be 11 tomorrow."

"Happy birthday, little guy." Chino put the silver moon in Luka's hand, with a friendly tone like the big brother next door, "I'm in a hurry today, and I didn't bring anything else, so consider this as your birthday. present."

"Thank you!" Luca took the silver moon like a treasure, and looked at it in amazement, "I heard that this color of moon coin is very valuable, I can buy a lot of candy with it!"

Chino shook his head: "No, don't buy candy with it."

"Then what can I buy with it?"

"Don't buy anything with it, it's your lucky coin, keep it in your pocket, or hang it with a hole around your neck and it will bring you good luck."

"Oh~" Luca nodded obediently, when she caught sight of Kino's torn sleeve, she couldn't help shrinking her head, as if she had done something wrong, "I'm sorry, my dad broke your clothes. I. Do we need compensation?"

Chino: "Of course, if you break someone else's things, you should pay for it. That's the most basic courtesy, isn't it?"

Luca shrank her head and asked cautiously, "Then what are we going to pay you for?"

"Let's think about it." Chino put his hand on his chin and pondered. After a while, he opened his arms to Luka, smiling like a warm winter green sun, "How about giving me a hug?"

Luca laughed like sweet candy and threw herself into Kino's arms.

"Wait." Kino took a step back and asked earnestly, "Mr Ramos, your daughter is underage, and I must ask her father's permission before I physically touch her. You agree Do I hold her?"

Ramos just recovered from his nervousness, kept nodding his head and muttered: "Agree. Agree"

"Thank you." Kino hugged Luca and rubbed her fluffy ears by the way.

After chatting enthusiastically with Luca for a while, Chino did not say goodbye to the father and daughter until the bright moon roared into the sky.

Before leaving, Chino turned his head and looked at Ramos with a smile: "If I need your help in the future, will you help me?"

Ramos kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and said, "Yes, my lord, I will definitely."

If Kino's smile was meaningful, he left.

Leaving the blockade and walking to the street, Paladin said half-jokingly: "One silver moon, 1 iron moons, and nearly 450 cranberry breads are gone."

Chino didn't speak, his amber pupils shifted sideways, looking towards the triple shackle field.
