Since Anita had chosen to protect me before, it was time for me to do the same.
I never paid kindness with enmity. Also, since she was voluntarily taking care of me when I couldn't do anything for myself, I had the obligation to help her.
"Karl asked her to take care of me." I said softly, but my voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
Just as I had expected, I noticed Innocent slightly tremble when she heard Karl's name and I knew that my gamble had paid off.
Because of her reaction earlier, I figured that she was afraid of Karl and I was just testing the waters now. I didn't expect my guess to be right.
Now, I had a new protective amulet while in the pack.
At least, against Innocent. Even if she did something to me in the future, she wouldn't dare to go overboard as long as Karl was still interested in me.
Innocent kept looking at Anita as if to confirm my words and for some reason, Anita just trusted me and nodded her head.
