CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: EVELYN EVERNIGHT [3]

In order to complete the 21st floor mission without letting anyone die, Kael needed to have a certain place in Evelyn’s heart.

Became someone extremely important to her.

Someone who could never be replaced in her life.

Friends sounded good, but it would definitely be difficult to become someone extremely important to Evelyn.

Family was even more of a no-no, because he and she were basically not related by blood.

And it would take a lot of time for Evelyn to consider him as a family member.

The 2-week time limit was completely insufficient.

So, the last option was to become lovers.

It sounded quite possible, especially since Kael was someone who had played many romance games, and was blessed with a face that could easily break down the walls protecting any girl’s heart.

Sometimes it even worked on men.

***

The leader laughed out loud.

"Haha, boyfriend? A bitch like her, the target of our bullying, managed to get a boyfriend?"

She treated it like it was the joke of the century.

"To be honest, you look very handsome, but why bother with this bitch? If you follow me, I can give you anything you want."

"Oh, you want to be my sugar mommy?"

"Yes. But if you still insist on being with her..."

She didn’t continue, but instead performed the act of cutting her neck.

It looked cool, but it was clearly just a threat.

She didn’t have the courage to do so.

Her eyes were completely not those of someone who had the courage to kill someone.

"I refuse. I love my girlfriend, I won’t betray her." He replied, with a bright smile on his face.

Evelyn, who was behind, although she didn’t know who Kael was, and knew that it was all an act, but for a moment, her heart had a slight fluctuation.

But unfortunately, it was extremely small, so she didn’t notice it.

The leader paused, perhaps even she didn’t expect that she would be rejected.

This was no different from an insult.

It was as if someone peed on her face.

Her expression darkened, her eyes becoming more gloomy.

"Why? I’m richer than her, more powerful than her, more connected than her, I can give you anything you want."

Kael shrugged.

"Because she’s prettier than you, and better than you in every way."

Hearing that, the leader’s face distorted even more.

She had always been compared to Evelyn by her classmates, her professors, and even her family.

She hated that, so she deliberately bullied Evelyn, proving that she was number one.

And now, someone whose name she couldn’t even remember was looking down on her, comparing her to Evelyn?

"Great, just great."

"Leader, what should we do?" A junior quickly approached and asked.

The leader glared at the person who had just spoken, as if she wanted to eat that person alive right now.

"Are you all brainless? Are you going to spare someone who insulted me?"

Although she didn’t say what to do, all the bullies understood their duties.

At the same time, they began chanting.

"Don’t you guys feel ashamed? A group of people are about to attack 2 people, and 1 person is even seriously injured." Kael was still the same, not caring at all.

He took a few steps towards the leader, then stopped when he was less than a meter away from her.

"Look me straight in the eye." He said, his tone changing.

It became more threatening.

"..." The leader didn’t say anything, just turned away.

She was feeling scared. She was trying to escape.

And of course, Kael would never give her that chance.

He immediately grabbed the leader’s hair, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.

"So, what do you see?"

"..."

She saw Kael’s eyes.

And they were extremely different from hers.

They were the eyes of someone who had killed before, and had even died once.

It made her feel uneasy.

It felt as if she was facing a demon.

All her previous courage had been drained away.

"I advise you to tell them to stop, or else be careful of the consequences."

It was advice, but to her, it was no different from an order that she could not refuse.

She gritted her teeth, not willing to accept the current situation.

However, life was still the most important.

She raised one arm, signaling everyone to stop chanting.

Waiting until all the magic had finally worn off, Kael released her.

Just now, this leader had treated Evelyn like a dog, thus now, he had to treat her even worse.

"Are you satisfied?"

Her voice sounded strained.

But whatever.

"I’ll give you all 10 seconds to get out of my sight. If anyone remains, I’ll definitely kill that person."

Just waiting for him to say that, all the bullies, including the leader, panicked and ran away, too scared to look back.

But before she completely disappeared, she left a threat behind.

"Be careful, you bastard! This isn’t the end yet."

Kael didn’t respond, only raising his middle finger at the leader until she was completely out of his vision.

***

"Hey, are you okay?" Kael bent down, wanting to check Evelyn’s injuries but then stopped.

She was a girl, after all.

And a man touching the body of a girl he didn’t know was no different from a pervert, right?

Evelyn just silently glanced at the injuries, then turned her gaze back to the person who had just saved her.

But even so, it still looked cold.

He couldn’t read her mood at all.

’The villainess is indeed different.’

"Who are you?" she asked frankly.

"Just think of me as someone sent from heaven to help you."

Kael replied with a healthy smile.

"...Nonsense. If that were true, they would have sent you to me a long time ago."

She stood up, but because her injuries were still quite severe, she lost her balance.

At that moment, he supported her, preventing her injuries from spreading further.

"Are you okay?"

"It’s fine."

"Let me take you home. Where do you live?"

"...You? A male?"

Evelyn was now truly treating him like a pervert.

"In this state, can you still go back by yourself? What if those bullies are still there, waiting for a chance to ambush you?"

"..."

"Tell me, where do you live? Genius students like you are supposed to get a free house from Atlas Academy, right?"

"Oh, you know about that too? How?"

She raised her eyebrows, feeling a little more interested in him.

"Tell me the truth, who are you exactly?"

"Like I said, I’m your savior sent from heaven."

"Pfft."

She chuckled.

An elegant chuckle.
