Chapter 114: 113 “Do you want to give it a try?
“Ugh… Ah…”
Several minutes later, Magre had stopped suffering violence but lay on the ground, unable to rise, breathing his last. Not only was his face swollen and bruised, but he also held his head, trembling all over.
“Stop hitting … stop hitting … wuu wuu…”
Apparently not realizing Shane had already stopped, Magre kept muttering these words, resembling a pitiful child who had been abused.
“Is it a bit too much?”
Watching this scene, Shane seed to have so feelings of compassion.
...
Yet, Shane, who said this, failed to notice the pleased expression on his face, one that was even sowhat refreshing.
In such a circumstance, Shane crouched down and patted Magre.
“Eek!”
Magre imdiately emitted an extrely disgraceful wail, shaking even more violently.
Clearly, after Tielle, Shane had also beco an object of dread in Magre’s heart.
Shane responded with a smile and spoke gently and kindly,
“Co on, tell , how exactly does the Fritter family plan not to let go?”
Shane smiled like a friendly older brother from next door.
But, to Magre, that smile was no different from a demon’s ferocious face.
“No… nothing will happen! Nothing will happen!”
Magre conceded on the spot.
“Is that so?” Shane continued with a gentle smile, “So, you won’t trouble anymore in the future?”
“I won’t! I won’t!” Magre cried, shaking his head.
“That’s good.” Shane nodded in satisfaction and said, “Then you won’t trouble rica anymore, right?”
“This…” Magre stopped crying.
“Hmm?” Shane’s smile disappeared in an instant.
It must be said that at Shane’s display, Magre was shaking in fear.
But there was no way Magre could compromise on this one thing.
“rica is mine… she’s mine… I absolutely won’t give up…”
The spoiled young noble murmured like this, trembling all over but not begging for rcy.
This was sowhat surprising to Shane.
“I didn’t expect that you, a nouveau riche young master, would be so infatuated,” Shane patted Magre’s arm, disregarding his trembling, shaking head dismissively, “But you should know, young master, that a lon forced off its vine isn’t sweet, and if rica truly despises you, why pine for her alone? With your identity and status, at least within Lamijion, can’t you have as many beauties as you want?”
Hearing this, Magre objected.
“Those vulgar won interest not in the slightest,” Magre courageously said, “They’re not even worthy to stand in rica’s shadow.”
“Oh?” Shane raised his eyebrows, amused, “So you don’t fancy opening a large harem, taking dozens of beautiful wives, and reveling every night?”
“No.” Magre replied without hesitation, “I only want rica. I have no desire for any woman other than her.”
“Uh…” Shane was also taken aback by Magre’s decisive attitude, scratching his head and spreading his hands, “This doesn’t fit with your profile at all. As a dissolute heir, shouldn’t you be keeping mistresses everywhere, instantly obsessed with every pretty woman you see, to the point where you can’t even walk, and your IQ plumts, using any ans for a mont of pleasure, even if it ans staging a drama of abducting soone in broad daylight, or threatening others? Isn’t that the role you’re supposed to play?”
“You’re referring to those nobles who are nothing but trash besides fooling around with won, right?” Magre said with utter disdain. “Don’t compare to those people; it’s simply an insult to . Those parasites who do nothing but bring disgrace to their family na are not worthy of being called nobles.”
Hearing this, Shane was truly surprised.
This wastrel of a young master actually had such thoughts; it seed he wasn’t completely useless.
But…
“If I rember correctly, didn’t you also attempt to force yourself upon rica?” Shane said with a smile that was not quite a smile. “In the end, not only were you caught by Tielle, but she also broke your limbs. Isn’t that an act of bringing disgrace to your family?”
Shane’s words elicited an unhesitant reply from Magre.
“As long as it’s for rica, even if it ans bringing disgrace to the family, or being expelled and no longer considered a noble, I am willing!”
Magre showed not a hint of reflection on his actions; instead, he was resolute and passionate, staring at rica held in Shane’s arms, his infatuation nearly overflowing from his eyes.
And then, Shane understood.
“So that’s it, as long as it’s for rica, you’re willing to pay any price and to use any ans?”
The smile finally disappeared from Shane’s eyes.
It couldn’t be helped.
“You disregard rica’s own will and simply indulge your own desires for convenience. I truly overestimated you just now.”
In essence, Magre was the epito of the double standard, looking down on the actions of other nobles while justifying his own, yet there was hardly any difference between the two.
Those who talk one way and act another, with not even a hint of self-awareness, are actually the most loathso.
“It seems I’ve overrated you, feeling so good about yourself,” Shane looked at Magre, as if he had lost all interest in this toy, and said, “From now on, stop coveting rica.”
These words caused Magre’s eyes to widen, and he couldn’t help but beco agitated, ready to object on the spot.
Unfortunately, Shane didn’t give Magre the chance.
“This isn’t advice, but a warning, you know?”
Shane extended a hand, resting it on Magre’s neck as if wanting to make a cut, his fingers slowly sliding while implying sothing with his words.
“I’m not as gentle as Vivian, nor do I have any regard for the noble family behind you like Tielle and the others do. If I truly wanted to play you to death, I have a hundred ways to do so. Would you like to try?”
Shane’s words made Magre tremble once again, his body feeling ice-cold.
Magre even had the feeling that if it weren’t for the trouble it would cause to kill him right there, Shane wouldn’t mind actually making that cut on his neck.
“You only have this one chance, treasure it well, my dear young master.”
With that, Shane patted Magre for what seed like the umpteenth ti, standing up while holding rica amidst Magre’s frightened and trembling form.
Then, Shane turned around and left without hesitation.
“Uh… Uh… Wah…!”
It was then that Magre completely fell apart, scrambling away in panic.
At the sa ti, in a nearby corner, Tielle also sheathed her blade.
“You’ve just snatched back a life.”
Tielle glanced at the direction Magre had fled and then turned to leave.
Of course, Vivian also witnessed this scene, looking at Shane walking towards Lu Muya’s tent while holding rica, with a hint of resignation and a smile on her face.
“He’s quite reliable, this newcor to our team.”
Leaving behind these words, Vivian turned and left.
