CHAPTER 24: YOU DARE PLAY WITH ME?

After I finished performing, the very next second I was bombarded by Luther and Mark to sing their favourite pop songs.

Later Claire and Parul also hopped in, and naturally, the shameless Asuna also put forward some demands.

Having understood my strength, it was not difficult for me.

The birthday party with their blatant requests literally tuned into my solo concert.

But amidst all this, I could see Beatrix sitting in a corner with gloomy eyes.

One glass after another, she kept drinking absent-mindedly as if she were not a part of the show.

I don’t know if it was deliberate, but with this action of hers, her intention was crystal clear.

"Damn, more than 3 hours passed in the blink of an eye."

"Let Elandor give Beatrix her punishment fast, otherwise, we will get late in cutting your cake, Claire!"

Luther unwillingly interrupted the commotion.

Asuna, who was sitting beside me merrily laughed out aloud.

"Yeah, what do you want her to do?"

"Let her hug you? A kiss?....hehe or perhaps something even more lewd?"

"But let me tell you in advance, compared to the gentle-looking, Beatrix has a violent temperament."

"The next second your life will surely be in danger."

With her hands on her mouth like she had spoken some taboo, Asuna taunted like my life was something casual.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Asuna who was publicly intimidating me, Luther, who was closest to me, hurriedly whispered.

"Yeah brother, although as men we are natural competitors, let me give you a piece of advice, this Beatrix is a dangerous woman who holds grudges."

"Isn’t she your girlfriend?"

Luther’s warning came as a surprise to me.

"Brother, are you crazy?"

"Everyone knows that I am just a stand-in partner Beatrix always finds whenever she needs to attend some gatherings that require a partner."

"Every time I try to refuse or run away, she mercilessly catches me and breaks all my bones. Last time she almost burned me to death, I was in the hospital for almost 2 months."

Luther’s shoulder shuddered as he remembered a painful part of his memory.

"Why does she do this?"

I still tried to probe further.

Hearing my question, Luther stood like a sculptor.

His entire body unceremoniously started shaking as he sneakily opened his mouth.

"Don’t tell anyone about this.....I once asked her, she said it is to make someone that she likes a lot go crazy with jealousy."

Listening to Luther and slowly recollecting Beatrix’s behaviour the entire evening, the dots finally started to connect, I recalled her constant vicious gaze on me whenever Asuna stood close to me.

A bold guess appeared in my mind.

"You are saying that she..."

Before I could continue, Luther hastily interrupted me.

"Enough.....brother, some secrets are better kept in mind rather than speaking out aloud."

"What if she hears you? Shit! She is already staring at us, I guess my bones would break yet again tonight."

Luther cried in grief before quickly separating from me.

I looked up and met Beatrix’s deathly gaze directed at me.

Since the mighty Claire with her strength as a high-level demon was here to maintain peace, there was no need for me to feel any panic.

With confidence, I playfully nodded at her as if saying- Do you think I will run away like this?

"Elandor, hurry and choose a suitable punishment for her."

Parul giggled.

I never did anything to this bitch yet she tried to scare me out of my wits, let me think of a special punishment for you.

Closing my eyes, I pondered over various things, in the end, given the other party’s identity as an unknown supernatural entity, I kept some leniency.

"Fine!"

"I see you have been very arrogant and full of air lately."

"Just obediently kneel in front of me and softly call me brother."

I finished my demands in one go, but it seemed to inflict a storm in the atmosphere.

’Fool, I gave you the warning, still you decided to take revenge for her petty behaviour, boy...I only hope you can live long enough.’

Luther shook his head in dismay and looked at me like he was looking at a dead man.

"You scoundrel, you dare!"

Beatrix instantaneously jumped out like a cat whose tail was stepped upon.

A big green coloured flame that I had never seen before started burning around her.

Her sudden momentum caught me off guard.

Green-coloured special flames?

What type of creature is this bitch?

Even though I was standing a considerable distance from her, I could easily feel the heat emanating from her.

"Now laugh...you pathetic mixed blood!"

Just when Beatrix was about to step forward and take action against me, an even bigger suppressing aura made her subconsciously kneel.

"First it was Leo and now it’s you?"

"Do you think I am a fool standing here?"

"Since you lost the competition, better do what you are told or I will throw you out."

Defending me, Claire glared at the unlawful Beatrix.

"I hate this!"

Even with Claire’s suppression, Beatrix tried her best to break free.

Beads of sweat had long appeared on her haggard face.

Watching her struggling so desperately, I knew this was the best time to strike.

Since you are ruthless enough, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.

I turned my head towards Asuna and aggrievedly exhaled,

"Girlfriend, this frown of yours is so spineless."

"She lost yet she refused to accept her punishment."

"What a hypocrite."

"There is no need to stay friends with such characterless girls lest you also get affected and become stupid like her."

I sincerely conveyed my heartfelt thoughts to Asuna.

To others, it seemed like I was a loving boyfriend who was looking out for her girlfriend from bad company.

Asuna nodded her head readily, after my excellent performance, she was on cloud nine after showing off her so-called nominal boyfriend.

"Yeah, you are right!"

"People who lose yet refuse to admit their loss are pure hypocrites."

"Anyway, I don’t talk to her much in the first place, so it doesn’t matter."

Asuna’s words were filled with disgust as she saw the desperately struggling Beatrix on the floor.
