Renee checked her wristwatch and noticed that it was getting late, so she decided to leave.
Stefan smiled coldly and asked, “Do you not want the Rainbow Glaze?”
Renee paused, inwardly thinking, ‘Of course I do! Why else would I be under your bed?!’
However, she kept up her cold and arrogant facade. “I don’t want it anymore. Use it as a urinal or something!”
Stefan was actually quite amazed by the woman’s vulgarity. The Rainbow Glaze had been a renowned treasure for
thousands of years, with many trying to get their hands on it. Hence, he never would’ve imagined Renee would view
it as a urinal.

“If you want it, I can just give it to you. Then your efforts won’t be wasted,” the man said calmly as he stared at the
woman’s slender back.
Renee was quite conflicted after hearing this. She had to admit that she was slightly swayed by this, even though
she had just refused to take it a few minutes ago.
Renee thought about it for a while, then grinned widely at Stefan. “Really? I always knew you were a generous and
forgiving man, Mr. Hunt! Even though I insulted you and poured coffee all over you, you didn’t mind at all! You must
have understood how helpless a little damsel like me would feel in that situation, which is why you’re being merciful
now, right?”
Stefan’s expression was cold, and he said cryptically, “Sure, I could just give it to you-“
“Aww, that’s way too kind of you! I’d really owe you one then!” Renee said as she excitedly scanned the room. “So
where is it? Can I just bring it home with me?”
Stefan massaged his aching temples wearily. “Can you let me finish first?”
Renee’s enthusiasm quickly died down as she scoffed, “I knew there was a catch! Don’t tell me you’re going to
make perverted jokes again? If you do, getting coffee poured on you would be the least of your concerns!”
Stefan smiled stiffly. “No need to get so riled up. I just need you to complete a project with me. Once you do that,
the Rainbow Glaze is yours. I’m sure that sounds like a fair deal.”
Renee decided to give this man a second chance, and asked him cautiously, “What do you need?”

Renee froze, then replied bluntly, “Average.”
“See, I’m a perfectionist, and I just have to finish building a figurine as soon as I get my hands on one. But it seems
to me that this is too much work for one person, and I definitely won’t be able to finish it before dawn. If you can
help me finish building it before tomorrow comes, I’ll give you the Rainbow Glaze as a gift.”
“Th… That’s it?” Renee didn’t expect those to be Stefan’s terms. Since she was already quite fond of building
blocks, she accepted the challenge right away. “Okay, a deal’s a deal…”
The woman then stretched her arms with a confident smile. “Let me show you what true skill looks like then!”
