Chapter 34: Who Died Now?[2]

In a downtown small restaurant by the seaside, an atmosphere of joy and mirth prevailed.

CLANG!

"Cheers"

A group of women clinked the glasses of beer with one another and then with a single gulp, chugged it down their throat.

"Why are you so happy today?"

"More than that, your complexion is so rosy today. Tell me who nourished that skin of yours."

Alice, being the woman who was teased, just lowered her head and spoke biting her lips.

"Does it matter who did this? I am just throwing a party because you asked me to after getting a commission for selling the Crystal Mansion."

"I heard you spend an entire day with Seph Greymore. Tell me how is he?"The woman around Alice peeked at her with a brightened curious gaze.

Seeing their looks, Alice felt proud in her heart while sneering at them.

Weren't you always ridiculing me for being naive and unyielding? Now that I have caught golden fish, let's see how long you can maintain that smug expression of yours.

"He is handsome. Like a prince charming in a fairy tale.Gentle and caring."

As the women chatted, one of them who had a slightly dissatisfied expression, twitched her lips and grumbled feeling sore.

"What's so good about gentle people? You will know that too much gentleness often leaves dissatisfaction in bed."Hong Ying, one of her colleagues, said.

The partying atmosphere stiffened a bit.

Alice, without glancing at her, drank her beer and replied.

"Just say that you are jealous of me. If you hadn't been a slut selling your body, with your look you could have found a good boy alas..."

Alice cast a venomous as she counter-attacked her.

"Hmmm! Who is jealous?"Hong Ying snorted and spoke loudly.

"He is just playing with you. Once you are used to it, he will just throw you."

"Shut up! Dont you dare slander him."

"Seph is a gentleman who doesn't lie and doesn't make fun of him. He is more manly than all the men you have ridden combined. He is hard and robust."Alice albeit a bit tipsy let her lips loose unhinged.

There was slight bashfulness on her face but that didn't let her stop.

She took out her phone and showed them the pics of all the gifts she had been gifted by Seph.

BANG!

The sound of trays with dishes falling on the ground echoed

The lively conversation was suddenly interrupted by an unknown man with a darkened expression.

Alice's expression turned pale seeing the man wearing a waiter's dress looking at her in shock and disbelief.

He looked rough but attractive with his short blonde hair.

"A...Alice"

"What did you say?''The man stuttered at his speech, feeling suffocation in his heart.

Remembering all about their past, he lost his composure and burst out.

"How can you do this? Didn't you promise me that you would wait for me so why..."

Alice's eyes panicked but maintaining a poker face, she asked.

"Who are you? I don't know you?"

"Alice, it's me. Your best friend Roland. Why are they looking at me as if I am a stranger?"

Roland almost cried and wondered why Alice was doing this.

It was a normal day for him. Every day he works hard and saves money fantasizing about the day when he can be together with Alice.

But wasn't it a bit too much to kill her for such a reason?

Of course, it was.

But does he care?

Of course not...

Moreover, this woman had already started blackening even though she hasn't been in contact with the villain for long.

Yesterday afternoon, she knocked out an elderly man with her car but left ignoring the helpless bloodied man on the road.

Who knows just what she would do once she entered Seph team for real?

"I don't like people who cheat others without a good reason. Look at that boy, he worked his ass off but..."Leon sighed.

However, it wasn't entirely a pity.

That guy was soon going to be the sign-in protagonist as said by the system. The moment he appeared, Leon thought of killing him but then?

That poor guy's heart is already dead and if he kills him now it would be a blessing for him.

And Roland would be happy to die as according to the plot a heartbroken guy will try to suicide leading to the awakening of their golden finger.

But killing him like this, felt useless. So, Leon decided to let him go and kill him when he had tasted the pleasure of life and inflicted 10...No, 100 more despair.

The satisfaction of killing someone who had many things to lose is way greater than someone who has nothing and even if he wasn't able to kill, boy Seph dared to take care of this daddy's mess.

But on the condition that he was able to stay alive under Villain pursuit.

'I am really a crazy son of bitch.'

Though he was saying this, the real reason Leon let him go was because he hadn't done anything bad now nor did Leon have enmity with him.

He true to his rules.

Either the person is a bad guy or the person had offended him.

As for how they heard their conversation, it was all thanks to Sophia who had the power to amplify sounds.

Sophia, pondering curiously, asked with a smile.

"Will you also kill me if I choose someone else?"

"No!"Leon refuted but just as Sophia was about to sigh in relief, cold water poured over her.

"Choosing someone else is entirely a different matter from cheating. You can choose whom you want, however in both cases, I won't hesitate to kill if the circumstances ask me to do so. But in a cheating case, I would make sure to kill you as brutally as possible."

Sophia's face cracked a bit with a bitter smile.

"You said you would have more women but do you think you can woo a woman with that blunt personality of yours?"Sophia teased him softly while puffing her cheeks to look cute.

Leon wanted to say acting cute didn't look good on her but he decided to refrain from giving her a shock.

"I wonder if any woman would fall for you unless she had a few screws loose."

Though Sophia spoke with a pout, she enjoyed having such talks with this guy.

'It seems I am just a crazy girl who waited for someone crazy like him.'

Leon and Sophia leaving the scene, walked on the beach far away from the chaos at the death scene with their shoulders touching one another.

"So, you are going to be in the shadows forever but what are you going to do?"Sophia asked Leon about his plans.

Leon cast a gentle yet alluring smile.

"I am gonna do what I am best at.."

"That is?"Sophia asked, holding Leon's warm hands.

"Kill...."

"..."
