Gu Ning blinked, waiting for Barto to continue. 'No way to what? Why did he stop talking?'
Barto paused, then jabbed a finger at Cook. "He's just a dog. Are you going to be responsible for him for the rest of his life?!"
Cook: "Woof."
Gu Ning fell silent. It was true that Cook was expensive, but she had never once considered giving up on him. Without Cook, she wouldn't even be here.
Just that one time she was captured and taken to the Underground Arena—if Cook hadn't risked his life to save her, she couldn't imagine what those savage Beastmen would have done to her.
It was also because of that incident that the people from the Underground Arena retaliated, leaving him severely injured.
As long as Cook was okay, no amount of money was too much. She would find a way to earn it.
'I'll just treat it as if I'm raising a rather expensive dog.'
She wrote on a piece of paper: *I'm not sure if I can take care of Cook for his whole life, but I will do my best.*
