**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 21: Damian’s Motive**
“What is going on here? Ms. Tibarn, did you really sever your match with them?” Damian’s voice was brisk, laced with urgency. He couldn’t help but wonder, which two formidable beasts possessed such power that their connection could be undone with such ease?
“They offered me star coins and begged me to end things with them. So, I agreed,” Emma replied casually, her tone as indifferent as if she were sharing that she had merely quenched her thirst with a glass of water.
To her, the dissolution of a match seemed trivial, devoid of any weight.
His jaw tightened in frustration. These individuals were dismantling the very fabric of their society, as reckless as Drake himself.
“Ms. Tibarn, what was the amount they offered you?” He forced a smile, suppressing the urge to unleash a torrent of fury that felt like it might erupt from his throat.
Emma paused, her brow furrowing slightly in thought. “One of them gave me 50 Rank 5 beast cores along with five million star coins. The other one, however, offered me a staggering 150 million star coins.”
“Damian, if you’re also considering withdrawing, just pay me. I’ll end our match right away. I know you’re not as wealthy as they are, so don’t fret—you don’t need to pay that much. Just 10 million star coins will do,” she insisted, her voice steady and almost generous.
It was not as though she hadn’t extended an olive branch. In fact, her offer was rather magnanimous.
Ten million star coins? He couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. There was no way anyone could pry even a single star coin from him.
“Ms. Tibarn, what are you suggesting? That’s truly hurtful. How could I ever contemplate severing my connection with you? Even if the entire world turns its back on you, I will stand by your side.” He grasped her hand firmly, his voice imbued with sincerity.
Her smile sparkled, her eyes glinting like the stars above—completely captivating.
For a fleeting moment, Damian found himself entranced, caught in the orbit of her charm.
“Damian, you truly don’t want to end the match?” she probed again, her voice tinged with curiosity.
I haven’t received a single star coin from her, and there’s no way I’ll let our bond go. He took a deep breath, regaining his composure before nodding firmly. “Ms. Tibarn, I simply couldn’t bring myself to do that.”
Emma regarded him with a puzzled expression. If he didn’t wish to end their match, what was his true intention?
Deciding to shift the conversation away from the weight of their current predicament, she asked, “You mentioned you were waiting for me. Was there something specific you wanted?”
The question jogged Damian’s memory, and he chuckled softly. “Ms. Tibarn, since the other matches haven’t arrived yet, why don’t you allow me to take charge? I can reach out and bring them to you quickly.”
“How am I supposed to hand them over to you? I can’t even contact them right now. The system won’t let me share their names or details with other matches until they are physically present with me,” she clarified, her tone pragmatic.
His smile widened, a glimmer of mischief in his eyes as he replied, “That’s simple. Just create a group chat. Once they’re in, I’ll handle contacting them one by one.”
