Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 131 Because You Are My Anchor (Cat)
This night was a restless night for many people.

For example, after Klein had recovered some of his spiritual power, he went above the gray fog and took a careful inventory.

That’s right. Even though he was just there to help collect the spoils, Klein carefully counted them and roughly estimated:

Even if he only counted the value of cash, gold and jewelry, and even if he was conservative in his calculations, he would be able to get at least tens of thousands of gold pounds from these gains.

God!

Klein was once again completely shocked.

Even if he didn't eat or drink in these two lifetimes, it would be impossible for him to save so much money.

Tens of thousands of gold pounds is equivalent to tens of millions in modern times.

If Klein resigned now, he could use this wealth to buy a large-denomination certificate of deposit and live a financially free life with a fixed income of four-digit pounds per year.

I heard that some of Backlund's richest people only get this much in fixed dividends...

Klein suddenly felt like he was floating in the air.

He was even worrying about how to get the next potion formula from Star, but now it seems that this is not a problem at all!

At this moment, he felt that Star was the biggest gain from his Tarot Club.

What Miss Justice, what Hanged Man...

Compared with Star's contribution, it is simply not worth mentioning!
Star is his biggest angel investor!
He is the number one in the Tarot Club!
Actually, it seems to be correct.

After all, when it comes to potion formulas, Star has the most complete knowledge.

When it comes to information and intelligence, Star knows the most.

When it comes to extraordinary items, Star's charms are the most popular.

Looking at this mountain of treasures, Klein praised from the bottom of his heart:
Praise Star!

Praise the Wheel of Fortune!

Without Star, Klein simply couldn't imagine how his Tarot Club would continue.

As for embezzlement?

How could Klein do such a thing? Star gave him the spoils of war out of trust. If he betrayed the trust of Star, a senior time traveler, Klein would never forgive himself.

Besides, money is meant to be spent.

If it weren't for Star, the person who revitalized the Tarot Club's transactions, even if Klein earned so much money, he would have nowhere to spend it - at that time he would have to work hard to find other channels to purchase formulas and other items that Beyonders need.

Not to mention that the portion he has gained now is already enough to cover his expenses before he became a demigod, right?

However, in the face of this huge amount of wealth, Klein still felt guilty:

Do I really deserve so much?

Klein had never seen so much money in his two lifetimes. He felt panicky for a moment.
Or, let Star be the Fool? Or let Star be the most powerful person in the Tarot Club.

Although Klein used to treat Sta, who already knew his identity, with a respectful attitude, like a junior to a senior, or a student to a teacher, he did not dare to act pretentious towards Sta.

But this is still an equal interaction within the normal range, without any complicated thoughts.

In the final analysis, facing such a huge sum of money, Klein felt like he couldn't even stand still. With so much money thrown at him by Star, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Even though Star bluntly said that the portion given to Klein was a bit too much, it could be regarded as an investment by him as the second-in-command in the Tarot Club and in Mr. Fool.

But Klein's gentle personality made him wonder whether he could be considered to have gained something without any effort, so he could only hesitate at this moment.

After hesitating for a while, he sent a message to Star:
"Star, I want to pull you up to talk about something later. Do you have time now?"

Waiting anxiously, Klein finally heard the familiar voice coming from the crimson star of the Wheel of Fortune:

"I see."

This represents Star's consistent style of agreement.

Ever since Klein and Star started chatting through the Gray Mist, Star would sometimes bring up this sentence. Klein always thought it was a bit strange, but it didn't stop him and Star from continuing to communicate in a friendly manner, after all, they were so familiar with each other.

He even wanted to copy Star's words and use them to reply to the prayers of other members of the Tarot Club - Star agreed to this...

At this moment, Klein, who had just been feeling uneasy, he heaved a sigh of relief and invited Star to the bronze hall.

Looking at Star's blurry face appearing above the gray fog, Klein was suddenly speechless again. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his mouth, and he didn't know how to organize his words.

He thought of one thing. Even though Klein had already regarded Sta as his best companion in the world, was he only being taken care of by Sta unilaterally?

Yes, Star came much earlier than him, so he is his predecessor.

Yes, Star has accumulated so much for so long, so he can't compare to Star in any aspect.

Yes, Star’s strength could be said to be far greater than his, so it seemed logical that he was being taken care of unilaterally.

But Klein always felt that he couldn't just do nothing and receive a gift like Star's, right?

He finally understood why he was so happy when he heard Sta's request today, and why he was waiting to pick up Sta early in the morning.

Because Klein can also help Star.

You can't just reach out your hand unilaterally like this, right?

Even if they are very good friends?

Even if they agreed from the beginning to face this world of Extraordinary People together?
……

He also thought about the worry he had for Star after hearing Star's last words that day.

I didn't expect that the one who couldn't keep up with Star was actually me...

Klein shook his head and spoke again:

"Star, I just think, is it really appropriate to give me so much?"

However, Star was as relaxed as ever:
"In fact, without your help in getting these things to the Gray Mist Space, I wouldn't have gotten so much in the end."

"Maybe only a few tens of thousands of pounds?"

"Given the situation at that time, I had to be prepared and leave the scene quickly to avoid being blocked by those saints."

"It would be great if we could hold a sacrificial ceremony to get rid of those things. How could we have the leisure time to slowly move those things?"

"Besides, even if I give away some of the spoils, my share will still be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds."

"So, the portion for you is just a drizzle."

But Klein actually accepted this reason. However, compared to the gold pound, he still asked a question he had always wanted to ask:

"Star, why do you take such good care of me?"

This is not to doubt Star's good intentions.

But compared to the money, even if Klein was reluctant, he still wanted to know:

In fact, even if we are fellow villagers, even if we are partners in this strange world.

After receiving such care, Klein felt that there was nothing special about him except for the mysterious gray mist.

Can he bear such a gift?
And it seems that the gray fog can't be passed on to others...

After hearing Klein's question, Star thought for a moment that Xiao Ke had taken the wrong medicine and didn't want to pay for it. He wanted to tease him or just deal with him casually.

But in the silent and quiet atmosphere above the gray fog, Star suddenly understood something.

Seeing Xiao Ke looking at him, Star raised the corner of his mouth playfully and answered with some sincerity:

"Because you are my anchor (cat)."
