This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 75
Why is he getting angry at me?
Has he lost his mind?
Han Ji-hyuk cleared his throat and looked at me.
“You’re responsible.”
“…?”
“You made me greedy for money. Now you have to take responsibility.”
But you were already greedy for money though?
“Eh?”
“Let me stay by your side and use me!”
“I…”
“No, I can’t go, I can’t! If you send me away like this, you’ll be responsible for─ Ugh!”
I quickly covered his mouth.
Of course, there was nobody else in the sitting room, and it was soundproofed, but I was still worried about the guards outside the door.
“Be cawefoo─”
“Then why did you call me Ji-hyuk?”
“…Huh?”
“Why did you say you understand my feelings? And then to send me away like this… Damn it.”
Han Ji-hyuk’s eyes reddened.
I had forgotten, but he was just a kid who had turned twenty.
A young man who had suddenly been transmigrated and had gone through all sorts of hardships couldn’t have been without loneliness.
I sighed deeply.
“Jus wisen to me fowst─”
“I can’t go!”
I thumped Han Ji-hyuk on the forehead.
“Wet me towk!” (Let me talk!)
“….”
“I was gonna say we shud wowk twogethow.” (I was going to say that we should work together.)
“…Liar.”
“Is twue.” (It’s true.)
Originally, my first goal was to plant Han Ji-hyuk as an outside agent.
But forcing him would be risky, given his temperament.
I had given him a choice.
Would he choose to flee and live in hiding?
Or…
“If yew hep me, yew wun’ hab to wun. Yew can wib comfytabwy.” (If you help me, you won’t have to run. You can live comfortably.)
“….”
“Wifouf fwee-ing, yew can wib in wusawy hewe.” (Without fleeing, you can live in luxury here.)
“….”
“I’m vewy kind to my peopow!”
I said, lifting my chin with my eyes closed. Han Ji-hyuk snorted,
“Really.”
I peeked at him with one eye.
Han Ji-hyuk, glancing sideways, cleared his throat and asked.
“How much luxury are we talking about?”
In ‘Grandvill’, Han Ji-hyuk was Dahlia’s enemy.
He was originally robbed blind by a cyclops and crippled, which triggered his descent into darkness.
Even working honestly, the world doesn’t provide a way to survive. He had to live desperately, even if it meant being underhanded.
But being cornered like this, there was no other choice.
‘I’ll kill them all.’
That was Han Ji-hyuk’s path to becoming an evil loan shark.
Kind-hearted Dahlia brings down Han Ji-hyuk, who extorts the common people.
‘Guess he’s a mid-level boss.’
Yet, Han Ji-hyuk didn’t have many lines in the novel.
I wondered why before, but…
‘I guess it’s because his tsundere nature would break the mood if he spoke too much.’
I smirked to myself.
“A wot. A whoooowe wot.” (A lot. A whoooole lot.)
“What do I need to do?”
“Fiwst…”
As I instructed Han Ji-hyuk, he nodded reluctantly,
“Can’t help it, I guess.”
This was how I acquired the services of the evil loan shark.
***
A few days later.
I received a letter from Han Ji-hyuk.
After thanking Betty, I tore it open.
We had agreed to communicate in Korean.
But since it could be partly understood by someone who knows ancient languages, it was written in a jumbled manner.
Hangul is great like that.
You can convey the meaning no matter how it’s written!
I nodded to myself and tossed Han Ji-hyuk’s letter into the fireplace.
As I pushed the letter into the flames with a poker, Betty chuckled.
I tilted my head in curiosity.
“Why?”
“Today’s the day of the evaluators’ visit. The castle has improved so much since last year, they’ll be completely surprised, right?”
It was the day of evaluation.
Michelan and his team, Enzo and the soldiers, and the administrators had prepared meticulously.
‘I hope we rank first in the evaluation!’
To receive a hefty budget and to crush the pride of the other second-generation Astras.
“Did you hear?”
“Wha?”
“The young masters will be joining the evaluators!”
The maids tidying my room exclaimed in excitement.
But I dropped the poker in shock.
“Thwe, thwe young mastuhs?”
“Yes. Young Masters Balzac and Joshua. Your older brothers!”
My father had two other children besides me.
They were the sons of my father’s deceased twin, Lysian, and were later adopted by my father.
Balzac Astra.
Joshua Astra.
Ranked 4th and 2nd among Astra’s young ones, respectively.
Considered geniuses with the highest potential among the third generation (Duke’s grandchildren).
And…
‘The Balzac and Joshua that Dahlia relied on most in ‘Grandvill’…’
Just when I thought I was finally getting a break after earning the money, those two brothers are brought into the picture.
This cursed novel!
