"From what I know, Scar Mall does have several dedicated streets that are divided into 'night market' areas. After nightfall, there will be various snacks and entertainment projects. Although it is not as good as that in big cities, it is still rare. If Lord Viego is interested, we can go there for a stroll."

"What do you think Liz?" Viego looked at the blonde girl next to Shining.

Liz nodded slightly. "...I can."

Viego was not a man who hesitated, so he immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's go strolling around these streets tonight."

A night market in another world...I’m really looking forward to it.

......

Night has fallen and the street lights in the city are lit.

But Gwen was still strolling on the street, her bright eyes, which were always full of vitality, were now full of doubt and confusion.

She couldn't help but look at the plain white small bag she was carrying on her waist, and took out the note with only a short sentence on it that she had taken out and checked many times.

Gwen looked at the note for a moment, then put it back into her bag.

But she herself didn't even notice it, and she didn't know why, but the way she took back the note seemed quite cautious, as if she was putting away something important.

—but it was just a piece of paper.

A note written to her by Viego, the villain she hated the most.

But when Gwen thought of Viego at this time, the first thing that came to her mind was not the crazy figure wrapped in black mist, but the white-haired man who was dressed as an ordinary mercenary but always had a smile on his face.

In the bag were the change and broken gold bars that Viego left for her.

Gwen came to her senses and looked around, only to find that she had walked into a busy downtown district without knowing when.

There are people coming and going here, including smartly dressed mercenaries and exquisitely dressed caravan members, and the streets are filled with all kinds of dazzling stalls.

The bustling scene and noisy voices made Gwen feel rarely at a loss.

Everything in this world seemed unfamiliar to her, and today's experience told her that many things were not as simple and straightforward as she saw.

Gwen should have felt fresh and curious about everything here and should have been excited about the bustling scene.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt like retreating for no reason.

It was as if she, being alone, was so out of place in this bustling downtown street.

It's like being in two worlds.

until...

The familiar white-haired man walked over.



Chapter 84: Gwen Facing Her Old Father [Two in One]

As night fell, Viego took Shining and Liz out of the hotel, drove the SUV, and followed Shining's guidance to the "night market streets" she mentioned.

"This is it, Lord Viego." Shining looked at the bustling entrance to the night market in front of him, his deep brown eyes sparkling under the bright lights.

“Although I’ve heard of it before, this is actually my first time here. It’s hard to imagine before I see it with my own eyes... Even though Kazdel is in the middle of a war, there is still such a bustling night scene in the Scar Mall.”

"It's not hard to understand... People fight every day, and when they are under a lot of pressure, they naturally need to relax and vent. What's more, this is also one of the ways to promote the city's economy."

Viego parked the SUV in the parking space, opened the door and got out.

"Let's go. It looks like there are a lot of people here. This place should be pretty good... But having a lot of people isn't always a good thing. Be careful not to get separated. Shining, hold on to Liz."

"Please rest assured, Lord Viego." Shining smiled slightly.

She had held Liz's hand when she got off the car, but Viego's concern still made her feel that she had not misplaced her loyalty.

-To be honest, in their daily interactions, Viego didn't seem like a superior who looked down on her at all.

This man was not at all arrogant, and he didn't seem to have any so-called "kingly dignity". Although he denied the fact that he liked lying on her legs every time, every time Shining invited him, he would cough twice and then "reluctantly" agree.

But the Shining will never forget Viego's dominance and power that night.

In her heart, she still regarded him as a monarch, but because of Viego's attitude towards her and Liz, she no longer felt the alienation she had at the beginning.

My choice is correct, Shining said firmly in his heart.

But soon, Shining discovered that Viego, who was walking in front of her and about one body length ahead of her, stopped.

He turned his gaze towards the entrance to the night market.

Shining and Liz also stopped and followed Viego's gaze, noticing the figure of a young girl who stood still in the crowd with her head slightly lowered.

"Lord Viego, what's wrong?" Shining asked.

"Nothing, I just saw someone I know." Viego answered, his tone sounding inexplicably subtle.

Gwen...

Why is she here?

And he looked dazed and lost.

Could it be that the CPU is still burning out due to the changes to "Viago"?

Viego thought for a moment and looked at Shining: "Shining, take Liz in first, I'll come find you later."

Shining glanced thoughtfully at the blue-haired girl standing there, and said knowingly: "Okay, Lord Viego, I will take Liz to walk around first."

Perhaps there were some matters that were not suitable for her and Liz to discuss in person, or perhaps Lord Viego did not think it necessary to make them wait until his conversation with the girl was over.

In short, in her opinion, there must be a reason for Viego's behavior, and she doesn't need to ask too much, just do as she is told.

Viego nodded, and just as he took a step forward, Liz suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Hmm?" Viego looked back at the blonde girl in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Liz looked at Viego. Her forest-green eyes, which had been washed clean of numbness and dust, were looking at Viego clearly: "I want to wait for you. Let's do it together..."

Her voice was very soft and small, seeming faint and inconspicuous in the noisy environment.

But Viego still heard it clearly.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "How about this, I see a store selling drinks near the entrance not far ahead, you and Shining go buy me a drink first, wait for me there, I'll come find you soon, how about that?"

Liz nodded slightly and loosened her fingers from around Viego's sleeves.

Shining nodded to Viego and walked forward with Liz.

In Viego's life, no one had ever said to him, "I want to wait for you to go to the night market together."

And Liz's eyes were so serious and so clean.

It's like a little child making a weak request but worrying about being rejected or causing trouble.

I always feel the relief that an old father feels when he sees his autistic daughter finally get out of her psychological trauma.

A little subtle.

But...it's not bad.

Viego looked at his cuffs, laughed and shook his head, then walked towards Gwen who was standing there unmoving.

Then let’s quickly deal with things here, find out what happened to Gwen, and then go to the night market with them.

However, it’s not like Viego really cares about Gwen.

But he was not so heartless and cold. Gwen was more or less an acquaintance. Seeing her standing there in such a distraught state, he felt it would be bad if he didn't go up to her and ask her what was going on.

and...

In the memory of the Ruined King, there is actually a very faint feeling towards Gwen...

Tenderness? Nostalgia?

In short, it was a kind emotion, although it was very weak, but Viego still noticed it.

Besides, he himself had no bad feelings towards Gwen, a lively and polite girl, so he didn't mind going up and asking her at this time.

Well...it would be even better if Gwen was actually so distraught because of her breakup with Isolde.

Although it is unlikely, Viego is still willing to keep an expectation in his heart.

It was also a very pleasant thing for him to see the ugly face of the bad woman revealed and recognized.

And Isolde really didn't give Gwen a penny.

There is no need to worry that this girl doesn't understand the meaning of money, buys things blindly and ends up having no money to pay, and is detained in the store.

Did that woman not expect this, or did she have no money, or...

She doesn't care at all?

Viego was very curious, and if it was the last possibility, he didn't mind at all to unveil the mask on Isolde's face in front of Gwen.

——After all, Isolde's hypocritical look of compassion for the world is really disgusting.

At least the people Viego knew - W, Mostima, and Shining - did not have a high opinion of Isolde, and it could even be said that it was very bad.

Viego walked forward and found that Gwen raised his head slightly when he was about ten meters away. With a confused look on his face, he looked in his direction and finally focused on him.

Obviously, Gwen saw Viego and recognized Viego.

But she just stared blankly at Viego who was walking towards her.

Correspondingly, Viego also saw the confusion and helplessness on Gwen's face.

This look is very much like the time when I was taken by a friend to a magnificent high-end club and faced a row of various "luxury cars" lined up.

In the end, I still couldn't drive a luxury car.

Because I was a little discouraged before the test drive, I just found an excuse to leave.

At that time, I was still very young and immature, and naively wanted to become a pure love god. I always felt that true love existed in the world, and it was only because the time had not come that it was true love.

But later, when I entered society and became a corporate slave, I understood after seeing the prosperity of the world of feasting and drinking.

——There is true love in the world, but it will never be my turn.

Viego interrupted and pulled himself back from his wandering thoughts.

He stood in front of Gwen, looking at the blue-haired girl who pursed her lips in silence, lowered her head slightly, and didn't look at him.

Viego remembered that after he left the bar, Mudstone drove after him and gave him a ride. He also roughly guessed part of the reason why Gwen looked like this.

That’s right, Mudrock left so quickly, almost at the same time as me. He must have had a falling out with Gwen.

The mercenary who had always wrapped himself in heavy armor spoke very bluntly, and perhaps also gave Gwen an undisguised "warning".

It seems natural that a doll girl who has just entered the prosperous world and has little understanding of the complex society would feel confused under the continuous shocks of today.

Gwen now looked like a poor little animal abandoned in the rainy night.

He lowered his head, his hair was wet, and he looked lost and confused, as if he had been abandoned by his entire world. There was a thick barrier between him and the rest of the world, as if he had begun to question the meaning of his own existence.

You want to ask why Viego is so clear about this feeling?

This was how he felt in his previous life when he saw his bad ex-girlfriend walking down the street arm in arm with a strange man in the mall.

Tsk.

Viego smacked his lips inwardly, feeling that his thoughts were too divergent today.

He looked at Gwen and asked:

"What are you doing standing here?"

"...I don't know." Gwen answered with her head down. Her voice showed that she was obviously depressed and trying to keep herself together, but she still answered politely.

“I was just walking and suddenly I ended up here.”

She found that she couldn't hate Viego at all - the Viego standing in front of her, who seemed like an ordinary person.

When Viego, one of the few familiar faces in her strange world, appeared in front of her and walked towards her, Gwen felt that she even had a faint feeling in her heart...

Peace of mind and relaxation.

Because she met familiar people in this strange world.

In Gwen's earliest memories, Viego always appeared with Isolde.

Even though she was just a doll at the time, she could feel the deep love between the two.
