The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 55
With a flick of his finger, the man in the red mask made the masks on their faces fly off. As expected, revealed were dark skin, green eyes, and silver hair. The escort knight had dark blue hair.
“I’ll kill you. Do you even know who we are…!”
“Who? No, wait.”
The man in the red mask chuckled in a low voice.
“You’re not people, you’re livestock.”
As he clenched his fist, their heads completely disappeared.
“Oh dear, I’ve shown you something unpleasant, Lady.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Thanks to you, I’ve caught some good prey to sell at a high price. I’ll compensate, so please tell me what you want.”
Roxelyn quickly nodded at the man in the red mask’s words.
“If you feel that sorry, give me that kid and the ones you just caught for 500 million.”
“…Excuse me?”
Surprised by Roxelyn’s brazen words, the man in the red mask hesitated.
“…That sounds like a joke.”
“Does it look like I’m joking?”
Roxelyn shrugged lightly.
“Of course, I’ll compensate for the catch.”
She said, lightly waving a blank check.
It was a blank check with the seal of House Wilfred.
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of the blank check.
“A fair price for the catch would be 100 million, right?”
The blue eyes behind the red mask stared directly at Roxelyn.
“Funny. Are you really offering compensation right now?” the masked man asked.
“And didn’t you offer compensation towards me just now too?” Roxelyn quipped.
“Why, am I not your type?”
“And if you are?”
Roxelyn’s words made him pause.
The man in the red mask crossed his arms and remained silent for a while.
“What’s your type?”
“My type?”
Roxelyn countered, and the man in the red mask nodded.
By then, apart from them and two white-masked guides, there was no one else around.
“Let’s see, a handsome, kind, gentle, and well-mannered neat man?”
The man’s brow furrowed behind the mask.
“…You’re being too picky. Choose just one.”
“What?”
“Never mind.”
He muttered softly, then waved his hand in the air and finally spoke.
“1 billion. I’ll give you all three for 1 billion.”
Roxelyn frowned.
‘Should I just let those two die?’
She had come planning to spend exactly 1 billion, but.
‘I was going to go shopping with the rest of the money.’
Her father had given her several blank checks as pocket money, but she had no intention of using those.
In contrast, spending Marquis Gerun’s money was more enjoyable.
“Fine. But on one condition—thrown in the jewelry set from the ‘Rose Dia’ that’s going up for auction this time.”
It was a gem set that would start bidding at 500 million.
“…I never thought the empire’s ducal lady would turn out to be a swindler.”
Roxelyn flinched slightly.
‘As expected of the information guild that even knows the number of moles on the Emperor’s b******s.’
Did they know the identities of everyone attending?
“Oh my, to be called a swindler by one himself, that’s an honor.”
Roxelyn laughed, hiding her agitation. Then the man in the red mask crossed his arms and nodded.
“Hmm. No, I’ll give you everything for free.”
Roxelyn’s expression subtly changed at the sudden offer from the man in the red mask.
He stepped forward, bent down, and brought his masked face close to her ear.
“If you would be my ‘Queen’.”
He whispered secretly in a low voice.
“Never mind. Let me just pay 1.5 billion.”
Roxelyn responded with a disgusted expression, her annoyance leaking through.
“…”
Silence fell.

“Hello.”
She greeted with a smile as she boarded the carriage with her escort.
At Roxelyn’s words, the boy’s fierce gaze narrowed even further.
The poorly dressed boy looked malnourished, with gaunt cheeks, but his eyes were still fierce.
As if he would kill at the first opportunity.
It was so concerning that the Roxelyn’s escort knight insisted on boarding the carriage too.
