The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 115
***
“Being young in body only, what good is that? Can’t even catch a passing ant. Look here, I do hope you aren’t already dead.”
Gerun coldly spoke as he nudged the body of the young man sprawling on the ground with the tip of his boot.
“You, ugh, what are you… you…”
“Ah, and.”
Gerun’s shoe heel slowly crushed down on the young man’s chest.
Crunch.
The sensation of breaking ribs made the young man scream out.
Gerun looked down at the writhing man on the floor and chuckled softly.
“I’m gonna… kill you…!”
“With your abilities, hardly.”
Roxelyn watched Gerun Wilfred’s mask peel away, revealing the real scoundrel he was beneath his usual leisurely genteel demeanor.
‘He’s always been a nasty prick.’
He might appear extremely gentlemanly on the surface, but in reality, he was a hedonist.
A man who wouldn’t hesitate to engage in any tiresome task if it served his own pleasures and stimulations.
‘It seems his mood is foul because he found his punching bag to be of low quality.’
Roxelyn thought blandly, waiting for his tantrum to end.
Not long after, the man passed out, and Gerun lifted his foot from the man’s chest.
Gerun smiled wryly and turned around.
“I’ve caught the filthy bug for you as you asked, but is there a reward for me?”
“Reward? After having your fun to your heart’s content, what…”
Roxelyn murmured softly.
“Sure, well… If needed, the credit for this job can go to you.”
Roxelyn added blandly as she stepped into the alley with Arma.
Gerun held Roxelyn’s hand and squinted his eyes at Arma who was following her closely.
‘I’ve seen all sorts of things now.’
Acting so out of character, it’s almost as if he’d drawn his own fangs.
‘I had no idea this kid was such a person.’
Gerun had encountered Arma in the world after Roxelyn’s death. Gerun had lived for about a week more in that world because that was the time needed for the massive ritual to move between worlds.
‘I can’t fathom why he’s behaving like this.’
Gerun thought.
In the future, this kid would covertly assassinate the real ‘King’ of the ‘Makruxa’ then subsequently take his place.
A monster among monsters, the one who inherited the Emperor’s blood the thickest.
It was none other than Arma Diyanitas.
Since the Makruxa had been following Roxelyn’s trail, after rumors spread that Gerun Wilfred had killed Roxelyn, they had pursued him to the death.
Thus, Gerun Wilfred met the ‘King’ of Makruxa just before his death.
The Third Imperial Prince, weak and timid, unable to even properly protect his fiancée and died.
Gerun never thought that Arma could have such a sinister face.
Following Roxelyn’s trail, Makruxa’s King appeared in person to take his life.
And upon seeing his identity, Gerun was genuinely surprised.
‘Never thought a being with the Abyss of darkness existed.’
Gerun stared intently at Arma.
As usual, his gaze lowered, the blue of his eyes slowly met Gerun’s gaze.
It was a look undeniably filled with murderous intent.
“What are we supposed to do now?”
“We’re going to interrogate this man.”
“Interrogate this? What is this even?”
Yuldian, who was standing at a distance, surrounded by all sorts of animals including cats and birds, asked.
“Ah, step back a bit.”
Yuldian waved his hands frantically. The birds briefly moved away from his waving hands but soon settled back down on his head and shoulders.
“How can my sweetheart be so talented and yet so cute…?”
“…”
Startled by the comment about being cute, Yuldian seemed to have gotten used to it, answering with a short sigh.
Roxelyn glanced at Yuldian, then spoke as she watched someone who hadn’t fainted yet writhing on the ground.
“Probably… the Makruxa.”
Roxelyn said succinctly.
It was the same game at the same gambling house, using the same tactics, so it must be right.
‘Gerun said it’s a similar world, and it really is.’
Almost indistinguishably so.
