"Cooperate? So if I help you, how are you going to repay me?"
Avery stopped eating as soon as she heard him talk about cooperation.
"Finish your food. After that, come to my lounge."
There were too many people around to talk. Asher also picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.
His family was the biggest shareholder of the school, so he had his own private lounge here.
"Alright."
When Avery heard they were going to his lounge, her imagination ran wild.
She thought about stripping off his clothes. His body looked so firm, he probably had an eight-pack.
Asher noticed her gaze and wished he could blind her. Couldn't this pervy woman act normal?
They were still eating, and she already had that desperate expression.
Honestly, he wondered if she had ever even touched a man in her last life.
Well, he guessed right.
Miles saw the sparks flying between the two of them and didn't dare say a word. She lowered her head and ate quickly.
Rose and her group didn't even dare look in their direction after Asher came over.
Avery quickly finished everything on her plate.
No wonder the school was so expensive. The food really was delicious.
"My darling, take off your clothes already. How long do you think you'll need?
But let's be clear—three or five minutes won't cut it. It has to be at least ten minutes. Otherwise, you'll need to take something."
After the meal, they went to Asher's private lounge. As soon as they stepped inside, Avery couldn't wait to take off his clothes.
Asher slapped one of her hands away, then quickly grabbed the other and twisted it behind her back.
Avery stabbed an ice needle into one of his pressure points. Just as she was about to control his other hand—
Asher already had a gun in his hand, the barrel aimed straight at her head.
"Don't be like that. I just wanted to get a little close to you. No need to pull a gun."
Avery backed away smartly, though it was a pity. She didn't get to grope him.
"I'll say it again. I'm not interested in your body.
Stop touching me. If I slip and blow your head off, you'll be a ghost all over again.
But I do want to know more about you, you little perv.
Where did you come from? How did you take over her body?"
Asher didn't keep pointing the gun at her, just held it in his hand, playing with it.
This lusty woman was definitely skilled, even strange, but killing him wouldn't be that easy.
In his last life, he was a top assassin. And after being reborn, he had special training from his grandfather.
If he was still useless after two lifetimes, his uncle probably would've killed him already.
"Ugh, why do you keep calling me a perv? Can't you give me a nicer name?
It sounds so awful. It doesn't suit me at all. And it's not classy."
Avery pouted. This damn Asher had called her that more than once.
"You're not a perv? From the moment we met, your drool's practically been flooding the floor.
If you could act a little normal, I might even think of treating you like a normal person."
Asher really thought so. If she could act more normal, he might even take her in as one of his people.
After all, her skills were strong. Every time they sparred, she managed to get the upper hand in some small way.
There weren't many people stronger than him. If there were, he wouldn't be wasting so much time on her.
"You're wrong. First, I'm not horny. I just want to sleep with you once to see if I can get pregnant."
Second, I've never liked any other man. I only like you.
Third, it's not like I've ever slept with you. Maybe once I do, and find out you only last three to five minutes, then I might not like you anymore!
Avery even smiled at him, but everything she said was completely true.
She liked this man, first because he was handsome, and second because his body was firm and solid, it felt good to touch.
Also, he was highly capable, so she wanted to have a child with him.
Between a man and a child, she would definitely choose to have a child.
She had been alone for too long in the apocalypse and really wanted to have someone of her own.
As for men, if she liked one, she could have fun with him. If she didn't, she could walk away. That's why she was definitely not a sex-crazed woman.
"Are you looking to die?"
Asher heard her say he could only last three to five minutes, and he got so angry he fired a shot at her. The shot was more of a test than a real attack.
"Why are you mad? It's not like I've slept with you. How would I know if you last long or not?"
Avery turned slightly and easily dodged the bullet.
If her powers were still as strong as before, she could've caught the bullet with her bare hands.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to level up her powers now.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's talk business."
Asher saw her dodge his surprise attack effortlessly, without even frowning. It was like child's play to her.
This crazy woman was terrifyingly powerful. If she could work with him, he was willing to pay a high price.
"Alright, go ahead. I'm all ears."
Avery acted like nothing had happened, and casually sat down on the sofa.
"Young master, would you like some fruit or coffee?"
A man walked in. Although the gunshot was very quiet, they were just outside the door and heard it. So they came in to check.
"No need. Get out. Don't come in unless I give permission."
Asher was warning him not to let outsiders enter.
"Don't be like that. Whether it's coffee or fruit, just bring in a little of everything. I want some."
As soon as Avery heard there was food, she didn't hesitate. The more the better.
"Alright, I'll bring it right away."
The bodyguard looked at the young master. When he didn't object, he agreed immediately.
In a short while, he brought in two cups of coffee. Another bodyguard came in with a big plate of fruit.
After setting everything up, the two quickly left.
"Wow, this coffee is so bitter!"
Avery couldn't wait. She picked up the coffee and took a sip, then quickly set it down.
But that was just for show. She only tasted it a little. She never ate too much of anything from people she didn't know well.
"Can you tell me where you're from?"
Asher watched her and still wanted to know more about her.
"Why are you so stuck on this question? First, I've never done anything to hurt you. I'm not trying to kill you.
Second, you've got secrets too. Did I ask you about them? We're the same, so what's the point of asking too much?"
Avery was getting annoyed with him asking the same thing again.
She really had no way to answer him. Even if she wanted to explain, she couldn't make it clear.
How could she explain things from two different worlds? As long as they weren't trying to kill each other, there was no need to dig too deep.
She hadn't gone digging into his secrets, so they were even.
