"Alright, that's it then."
Richard spoke up, waving his hand, generating a strong gust of wind that blew at Noah's dissolved pool of blood-red liquid. The liquid was blown away, revealing items that didn't belong to Noah's body, including tattered clothes, rings, pendants, and of course, a book—the Blood Tome.
Richard waved his hand again, using the strong wind to bring the Blood Tome directly to him, carefully cleaning it before putting it away.
Turning to face Barry, he spoke, "The matter you promised me—helping you kill Noah—is now complete. I'm preparing to leave with this book. As for the rest, those conditions you've agreed to, you haven't forgotten, have you? You'll fulfill them, right?"
"Well..." Barry hesitated, wanting to disavow but, faced with Richard's earnest gaze, lacked the courage to do so. He nodded slightly with a forced smile and said, "Of course... of course, I haven't forgotten, I'll definitely fulfill them, and comply with all your demands."
