Continuously using Stealth while my mana almost hit the bottom, I moved away from Daisy’s location and picked up the call.
When in an instant...
"Adrian!"
Daisy shouted obnoxiously and hastily from the other end of the line.
"Where are you? Please, can you co here quickly?"
"Ho? Did the sun set in the east today so that it made you rember ?!"
"You...!"
In response to my teasing remark and ignorant attitude toward her plea, Daisy’s voice beca more high-pitched and heavy.
It looked like she wanted to yell out loud and speak a few rude words, but aware of her predicant, she paused, and then, controlling her rage, she added in a serious tone.
"It’s not the ti for that."
"Then, what is the ti for?"
"I... I."
Her mouth opened, and she hesitated.
"Speak quickly."
But when I urged her coldly, she finally blurted it out.
"I killed Mina!"
"WHAT?!"
In an effort to appear angry, I let out a loud exclamation while carefully suppressing my true feelings.
"If this is so joke, I am hanging up."
"Not a joke, please, don’t do it... You first co here quick."
"How? When? No... where are you?"
"Our... Our eting spot."
"Coming."
Declaring at last with that one word, I quickly hung up the phone.
Beep! Beep!
And imdiately...
"Khe Khe Khe."
My visage changed from its previous somber look to a playful one.
"Maybe I should have tried my luck in acting, I would have at least won an Oscar, pfft~! Hahaha."
Rubbing my chin while praising and chuckling to myself, I thought about how long I should let Daisy wait for .
"After all, the longer the night of waiting, the deeper the ache of despair."
"Isn’t it, my dear Daisy? Hehehe."
My plan was to let Daisy wait and suffer more from anxiety, but I knew that even with Regeneration (C), her injuries were severe.
So I arrived in front of her after timing how long it would take to co here from my ho.
"ADRIAN!!!"
Daisy shouted and stood up from the ground when she noticed my presence.
But instead of responding to her, my gaze was fixed on Mina’s lifeless corpse.
Fury raged in my eyes.
"I..."
Noticing this, Daisy stopped midway, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Her head bowed subconsciously.
"... I am sorry."
She uttered it in a barely audible voice.
Fear and nervousness was palpable on her face.
’Are you thinking that I might take a stand for Mina and have you punished?’
If that were to happen, wouldn’t that make Daisy the biggest laughing stock among the heroines?
’Daisy ignorantly invited a disaster for herself.’
The perfect headline.
’Hahaha.’
However, I knew Daisy wasn’t such a fool.
Maybe even before calling , she had a hunch about sothing like this.
But it wasn’t hard to understand why she still called .
Everybody knew that Mina was under my care, and her sudden death or disappearance would bring forth a huge investigation.
’At that ti, it wouldn’t take long before the culprit was found out.’
Daisy knew this.
That was why she had no one other than who could help her here.
Not to ntion, she still had my offer from earlier as a chip on which she could rely.
Everything was just as I had expected.
There was no need to act anymore.
"I won’t ask what happened and what didn’t; since you killed her, then so be it."
"Huh?"
Hearing my words, Daisy let out a puzzled voice, and with her eyes wide open in shock, she lifted her head, staring at in bewildernt.
Shiver!
But when she t my uncaring, cold eyes, Daisy felt a shiver go down her spine.
"Y... You, who are you?"
She stuttered, blurting out her true thoughts subconsciously.
My eyebrows shoot up to the hairline in response to her words, and my lips curl into this disgusted sneer.
"Have you finally gone mad?"
"It was you... You did this all to ."
Daisy scread in disbelief at her own conclusion, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Looking at such a hilarious sight, I burst out laughing.
Pfft~!
"HAHAHAHA!"
And it wasn’t until Daisy’s face beca ashen when her own stupid comnts was mocked on her face that I stopped.
A solemn face replaced my grin instantly.
"Are you for real?"
Saying that, I approached her, and then lifted her chin up, making her look in the eyes as I asked word for word.
"What if it was ? What will you do about it?"
"..."
"My dear, if I wanted you dead, you might already be suffering in hell at the mont, and not be here asking this."
Speaking up to here, I pulled back my hand, and Daisy lowered her head with her fists clenched.
There was no need for any further explanation.
『Human psychology tends to associate elaborate explanations with deception.』
Paradoxically, the more I explained myself, the more skepticism it would breed in her mind.
Therefore, I simply stepped back, leaned against a wrecked tree, and looked at the night sky for a few monts before speaking once again.
"Leaving that aside,"
I turned my attention back to Daisy.
"What do you want to do?"
This question finally broke Daisy’s train of thought, and she lifted her head to look at .
"... Please give a suppressant."
’Please? Looks like this bitch learned so manners.’
Unfortunately...
"Do you think I have the suppressants in my pocket, eh?"
My eyebrows furrowed, but then I rubbed my temples, took a deep breath, and continued speaking.
"Although this was not what I had wanted to ask, but looking at your condition, those things can be discussed later."
As I said this, I took a healing potion out of the pocket of my blazer and threw it at her.
"Here, have this for the ti being."
Daisy caught the test tube with her barely working left hand, and without wasting any ti, she gulped it down.
"...Thank you."
"Hmmm... take so rest for a second, let call Albert and let him bring so females to help and take you to the hospital."
Then, I stood up, and while Daisy sat on the ground to rest, I took off my blazer and draped it over her.
Under the touch of the soft cloth and the warmth that it contained, Daisy’s body finally relaxed.
"But at the hospital..."
"Worried about your chaos curse being found out?"
"Hmm..."
Daisy nodded.
To which, I just waved my hand dismissively.
"Don’t worry about that, it’s one of my family’s hospitals, and they will not call the Hunters, or awakened healers, so except for the mark, which we can cover up, they will not be able to tell anything."
"Yeah, I also have faster regeneration."
"Indeed, so you will be alright."
....
Ti vanished into thin air.
To say that Albert was taken aback by the situation would be sowhat of an understatent.
Nonetheless, after my little explanation of the circumstances, he just nodded obidiently and didn’t ask much.
My female bodyguards, who arrived with Albert, assisted Daisy and took care of Mina’s body.
How they would discreetly dispose of Mina’s body was none of my business.
I believed in Albert’s abilities and knew that I would be inford of the procedure soon..
Thus, I just focused on Daisy.
Her condition wasn’t great, but it wasn’t as awful as it had been after the Cyclope tragedy.
What she suffered today were more inner injuries to her mana pathway and organs.
Otherwise, externally, there were just cuts and serious wounds, all of which were treated with bandages and dicines.
Luckily, she didn’t have any plaster on her, and the doctors have cleared her for discharge tomorrow.
"Do you want to inform your parents?"
Daisy was seated at the edge of the bed, her legs dangling, and we were in the hospital room.
Hearing my question, she looked up at , who was sitting on the sofa opposite her.
"No."
She shook her head.
"Since you’re going to take care of my bills and everything else from now on, I don’t need them."
As she continued, her tone and manner beca condescending.
"They will only impose restrictions on and are a future liability, it’s better the sooner I cut my ties with them."
"Is that so?"
Totally unconcerned, I nodded my head.
Even though I was maintaining a level tone, my eyes were narrowed and my brows were wrinkled.
I was once again reminded by Daisy’s attitude why I call her a bitch.
Her character was much more repulsive than Sylvia’s.
At least Sylvia showed her parents so concern, if only on the surface.
But even those basic principles were lacking in this bitch.
For so reason, at her words, my chest constricted, my anger surged up to my throat unhindered by my traits, and I opened my mouth.
"Co to think of it, I am going to take care of your bills, that ans you agree to be my slave, right?"
Daisy’s face darkened as I squeezed her shaful nerve.
"Is there still a need to answer?"
"Actually, you’re correct, there is not, but there’s a need for sothing else."
Then, before she could reply, I got up and walked in front of her, staring down at her playfully as I questioned her maliciously.
"Did you have sex before?"
"You..."
However, before Daisy could complete her words, I grabbed her face, and made her stare into my eyes as I spoke viciously, ready to devour her.
"You’re a slave, so behave like one... Or else I swear I would make death feel like rcy to you."
My harsh words, finally woke Daisy up to reality, and as I released my grasp, she bowed in humiliation.
Daisy wanted to lash out, but she knew she couldn’t afford to lose her cool now.
"No."
"So you’re a virgin?"
"Yes."
"Prove it to ."
"What?!"
She let out a piercing cry of surprise as her bewildered face sprang upward.
"Y-you, didn’t you say you wouldn’t have sex with without my permission?"
"Indeed, I am a man of my words after all, but there’s another way to prove your innocence."
"W-what?"
When Daisy saw my playful grin, she had an ominous feeling, which instantly proved to be accurate when I said the following words:
"Open it up.... Get naked and show your pussy to prove your innocence."
Of course, this was all a lie.
I knew that as a heroine, Daisy was the purest of virgins.
But this bitch needed a lesson.
"Because I do not believe a woman like you to be a virgin."
She needed to know her place.
For that...
’I will so thoroughly trample on your pride.’
’Make you so addicted to my cock that you will beg to fuck you.’
’Your training officially begins today.’
’I will turn you into my personal loyal slave bitch, just wait, my dear.
’Hehehe.’
