Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 215: Mad Scramble

Lu Xiao never imagined Platinum would have such intentions.

"You’re insane!" ’I’m sure I never gave Platinum the wrong impression,’ she thought. ’How could he possibly harbor such feelings for ?’

Seemingly unbothered by her words, Platinum gazed at her with gentle eyes, as if they were long-lost lovers. "I told you, there’s no need to rush. We have plenty of ti to get to know each other. You’ll co around. Everything Ares and Fred are willing to do for you, I’ll do even more."

"Don’t you dare say their nas. You’re not worthy. Where’s my room? I want to rest." Lu Xiao turned away, making it clear she couldn’t stand the sight of him.

Platinum wasn’t annoyed. He followed behind Lu Xiao. "I’ll show you the way myself. This way, please."

As they walked deeper into the base, Lu Xiao noticed many laboratories of varying sizes. Inside, researchers in white coats and masks were busy conducting all sorts of experints. Lu Xiao was very curious. ’Where in the world did they find all these people?’

Platinum said nothing along the way, letting Lu Xiao take it all in.

When they reached the room prepared for her, the mont she pushed the door open, Lu Xiao spun around and shoved Platinum against the wall with a THUD. "You bastard! You’ve been to my house!"

That’s right. The mont the door opened, she saw it. The decor, the layout—it was an exact replica of the ho she shared with Ares. There was no way she’d ever believe he hadn’t been there.

Platinum let her, showing no sign of resistance, his eyes still just as gentle. "Yes, I have. I wanted to see the place where you lived with my own eyes. Unfortunately, the scent of other males still lingered there, so I did a little... redecorating."

Before he could finish, Lu Xiao slapped him across the face. "I seriously regret ddling in your business back then! You should have been left to be tortured by that female from the Green family, or left to rot in the Female Protection Association!"

Platinum turned his head back, a smile still playing on his lips. "It seems you’re truly angry. It’s an honor to be the one to make you so furious. But rest assured, I was just joking. I only went to look, I didn’t do a thing. On the contrary, I’m quite envious of your partner, Ares. He gets to be with you day and night. It’s truly hard not to be jealous. But that’s alright. Now I have the chance to spend the rest of my life with you. I just wanted you to have a comfortable and reassuring place to stay, so I took the liberty of matching the style of your ho. If you don’t like it, you can keep hitting . Just please don’t hurt yourself. It would break my heart."

"Get out! I don’t want to see you again!" This was the first ti since she’d arrived that Lu Xiao had felt such revulsion for soone. She couldn’t even stand being under the sa roof as him. With that, she spun around, went into the room, and slamd the door with a BANG.

The mont she vanished, Platinum’s expression turned cold. He looked toward a dim corner not far away. "How much longer are you going to eavesdrop, C Luo?"

Having been called out, C Luo erged from the dim corner carrying a tray. "I just got here. I didn’t want to interrupt your conversation. But it looks like Lady Lu Xiao isn’t very fond of you."

Platinum sneered. "Wouldn’t it be strange if she *did* like ? Besides, if she doesn’t like , what makes you think she’d like you?"

"Compared to you, I’d say I’m in a slightly better position in Lady Lu Xiao’s heart."

Faced with C Luo’s retort, Platinum, for once, didn’t argue back. He simply straightened his disheveled tie. "Take the food to her."

With that, Platinum turned and walked away.

Inside the room, Lu Xiao stood by the door, seething with anger.

The sense of violation from having her cherished sanctuary invaded by a stranger and so brazenly mimicked truly infuriated her.

Just then, a knock ca at the door. Lu Xiao tried to ignore it, but finally gave in and threw the door open. "...Have you..." Before she could finish her sentence, she saw C Luo holding a dinner tray, and her voice died in her throat.

C Luo offered her a small smile. "He’s gone. You should eat sothing, Lady Lu Xiao."

At that mont, Lu Xiao felt utterly exhausted. "Just put it on the table."

She let go of the door and turned back into the room.

After C Luo brought the tray in and set it on the table, he said, "Please, eat. Call if you need anything. I’ll be right outside the door."

When no response ca from Lu Xiao, C Luo turned away dejectedly and softly closed the door behind him.

Lu Xiao had no appetite. She didn’t want to eat a thing. She sat down on the sofa and glanced at the completely useless terminal on her wrist.

Everything here was so familiar, yet it all felt so foreign to Lu Xiao.

She stood up and opened the door. C Luo, who was standing outside, imdiately turned to face her. Before he could speak, Lu Xiao said, "Get a different room."

C Luo was taken aback, clearly not expecting such a request. At that mont, Lu Xiao continued, "Can’t you make that decision?"

"No, of course. This way, please." C Luo quickly recovered, leading Lu Xiao to the room next door. After he pushed the door open to reveal a plain bedroom, Lu Xiao entered without hesitation and shut the door.

C Luo stood outside, his expression darkening.

It seed all of Platinum’s painstaking arrangents had failed to win Lady Lu Xiao’s favor.

Changing rooms, without the familiar environnt constantly reminding her of the violation, made Lu Xiao feel much more at ease.

Naturally, what happened with Lu Xiao was not kept from Platinum.

When C Luo returned, Platinum looked at him. "Did Lady Lu Xiao not like the gift I prepared for her?"

C Luo shot him a look but didn’t respond.

Platinum didn’t seem to mind in the slightest, a smile playing on his lips as he mused aloud, "But that’s alright. We have plenty of ti now."

"You should just give up. Lady Lu Xiao will never fall for you." C Luo looked at him mockingly, unable to comprehend where Platinum’s confidence ca from.

"That’s why, C Luo, you can only ever watch her from afar. But I’m different. So what if I can’t win her heart? I can still take her by force. Isn’t she here right now? As for Ares and Fred... where are they?" A crazed light flashed in Platinum’s eyes. It was clear this was not just what he thought, but also what he was prepared to do.

C Luo looked at him, and deep down, he was actually envious. Platinum was right. He could never go to such lengths; he could only ever watch her.

But he also knew that Platinum wasn’t winning her heart this way—he was digging his own grave.

For a mont, it was truly hard to say which of them would et a more pitiful, miserable end.

He curled his lip into a smirk. "In that case, I’ll be waiting to see how it plays out."

He’d just have to wait and see if Platinum could truly get what he wanted.

Platinum gave him a flippant wave, an arrogant gesture that said, "Just you watch."
