The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Hu……!"

Upon hearing this, the Duke clenched his fists until they turned white, and his knuckles turned blue from the force.

He wanted to shout "Nonsense!" but he swallowed the words back. His gaze shifted between Beller and Ye Xiao, and finally he let out a helpless sigh, "No... it can't be that bad, Executor."

"How could it not be like this?"

Beller smiled and said, "Duke, you're a smart man. Why don't you think carefully about what the purpose of the airship hijacking really was?"

"Maintaining the war is only one of the objectives. Another objective is to remove your weakness and make you the perfect 'human being' he desires..."

"Enough! Sir, please stop saying this."

Duke Tyrannosaurus no longer wanted to listen; his voice was hoarse and pleading.

"Please give me some time, okay? I... I can't accept what you're saying right now."

"Of course, we are not forcing you to make a decision in the next day or two, but the upgrade plan for the Aslan region will officially begin next week. We hope you can think it over carefully before then."

Beryl always had that wicked grin on his face.

"At least I hope you understand that only our proposal can truly protect your daughter."

Duke Tyrannosaurus stopped replying, leaning back in his chair, his face a mixture of exhaustion and struggle, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

……

After the meeting, Ye Xiao followed the others out of the guest room, his head still buzzing.

The conversation just now was incredibly information-dense, like a jumbled mess stuck in my head. Although I roughly understand what happened, several pieces of that jigsaw puzzle are still missing.

What exactly is the "upgrade plan"? And how did it even involve Miss Windsor?

However, it wasn't entirely fruitless. They learned about Noah and Adam, and gained some clues about the previous airship hijacking.

He pondered to himself, his gaze secretly glancing at the player squad leader walking ahead. This guy definitely knows the inside story; should he find an opportunity to capture him and have Ella interrogate him?

Just then, a light, airy voice suddenly came to my ear: "How was it? I did pretty well, didn't I?"

Ye Xiao shuddered and turned his head sharply, almost bumping into Beryl's smiling face that was inches away.

Her purple hair shimmered under the corridor lights, her eyes curved into crescents, and a sly smile played on her lips.

When did they get so close?!

Ye Xiao's heart tightened. He had been deliberately keeping his distance from her just a moment ago, how did she suddenly become so close to his face?!

He instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but Beryl was faster, grabbing his wrist. Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat—oh no! Mo Feng's projection disguise couldn't change his sense of touch; this touch would likely expose his true identity.

"Lord Astra, what about the Duke..."

The Starweaver squad members walking ahead turned around to ask a question, but when they saw Belial tightly gripping Astra's arm, they froze on the spot, their eyes wide open.

Oh no! Ye Xiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was pounding like a drum.

If Beryl were to sense something was wrong and shout, he would be completely finished.

We barely made it through the meeting, are we really going to mess things up at the last minute?!

"What are you looking at?"

Beryl raised an eyebrow, his tone casual yet carrying an undeniable authority, "Miss Astra and I have some private matters to discuss. You may wait at the banquet."

"Uh……"

The team members looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

"Miss Astra..."

Beller turned her head, her gaze falling on Ye Xiao, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. She licked her lips lightly with the tip of her tongue, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "What do you think?"

Chapter 133 The Fault of the Heartless

Faced with Beryl's question, which carried a hint of coercion, Ye Xiao had no choice but to agree.

Belial's eyes lit up with approval, and he almost couldn't wait to drag Ye Xiao into a room around the corner of the corridor.

As soon as she closed the door, she pressed Ye Xiao against the mahogany door panel and used her backhand to draw a divine rune that flowed into a dark golden stream to seal the crack in the door.

Moonlight streamed in through the glass window, casting a stardust-like glow on her purple hair.

“Tsk tsk, ‘Miss Astra,’ I think I can hear a heartbeat.”

Beller's face still wore that wicked grin. His fingertips slipped through the projection and traced Ye Xiao's neck, the point where his nails touched the skin shimmering with tiny arcs of light. "Are you worried about being exposed..."

As she spoke, she brought the tip of her nose closer and sniffed, "Or... are you expecting something?"

"Alright, alright, I know you saw through me."

Ye Xiao curled her lips, grabbed the girl's restless hand, and used the back of her own hand to push the girl's face away from her.

At this moment, his projection disguise had been dispelled under the influence of Belial's magic, and his figure had returned to his tall and thin appearance with a lazy look in his eyes.

"I'm a little curious, how did you find out? Tell me, so I can at least give Miss Mofeng some suggestions for improvement when I get back."

"I know your scent all too well."

Beller covered his mouth and chuckled, "Including this time, this is the third time we've met. It's truly a destiny."

"odor……??"

Ye Xiao's lips twitched, and then she quickly raised her arm and smelled under her armpit.

Damn it, he can't have body odor, can he? I never smelled it when Ella was hugging and cuddling him.

"Oh, it's not that you smell bad, it's just that my senses can detect subtle body odor."

Seeing Ye Xiao's actions, Beller was speechless for a moment. "You've ruined such a nice atmosphere. You're still as clueless about romance as ever."

"We've only met three times, why do you seem to know me so well?"

"Hmph, trying to trick someone into talking while being so cold, treating a girl like a tool is really going too far."

"How can you say that? I was just asking out of curiosity."

Ye Xiao shrugged.

He was very calm; since his disguise had already been exposed, there was no need to continue worrying.

"Spit it out. You deliberately pulled me into a room to avoid making things public, so you must have something to say, right?"

Beller pouted, her round face puffing out slightly. "Honestly, can't I just talk to you about something ambiguous?"

Just in case you don't know, I already have a boyfriend.

Ye Xiao raised his palm.

"Tsk, I know that, can you stop showing off?"

The girl gritted her teeth in anger, "It's just Ella Heviel, a demon god, an empress, and a player."

"I am a demon god, after all. Why can't I be considered one too?"

"You're making it sound like those two times we met before were dates,"

Ye Xiao shrugged. "We're enemies, okay? The number of times we've met isn't a record of building rapport, it's a record of battles."

This ruthless reply left Miss Bellier speechless, and she gritted her teeth in anger, "Fine, then according to you, I should go out and report you, you stinking undercover agent, right now, and you can just obediently be Ella Heville's dog!"

"But then again,"

Ye Xiao quickly raised a finger and made a "wait" gesture. "As a traveler from another world, I still have my own considerations. Although I don't know what you admire about me, I think it would be a good thing if we could understand each other and turn hostility into friendship."

"I think you're just reluctant to give up this undercover identity that you worked so hard to get."

Beller knew exactly what Ye Xiao was thinking, and was both angry and amused. "If this were anywhere else, you probably would have already drawn your sword and attacked me."

"No, I'm still quite rational. After all, I've noticed some special qualities in you during our first two meetings."

"Oh?"

The girl's curiosity was immediately piqued. "What's so special about it?"

"You're a bit better than the rest of the company,"

Ye Xiao stroked his chin and said, "I've thought about it, and I'm afraid I can't handle you with a knife. I'll have to let Ella fight you."

"So after all this talk, even if you know I have feelings for you, you still only want to kill me, right?"

"Um……"

After thinking it over carefully, Ye Xiao finally nodded, "That's right."

"Then you really are a bastard."

Beller's expression fell.

"I'm glad you think so."

Ye Xiao chuckled softly, "So let's keep our distance and talk about things that are related to our interests. We'll have to fight every time we meet in the future anyway, and if you start flirting with me, it'll dull my knife."

"Sister is right, you are more ruthless than anyone else when you turn your back on someone."

Beller groaned and crossed his arms.

"Let's get back to business. What is your real purpose in bringing me in here?"

"But I don't want to tell you now."

Beryl turned his face away, his voice clearly tinged with sullenness.

"no,"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but rub her forehead. "This must also be related to the company's plans, right? You can't let personal feelings interfere with important matters."

"Yue, I feel uncomfortable whenever I see a jerk. Thanks to you, I've lost all motivation."

Beryl tossed his head, hugged his knees, and squatted down in the corner. "Save my ass, just let this world be destroyed."

"???"

Ye Xiao's forehead was full of question marks.

With someone like that as CEO, how has the company been operating all along?

"No, Miss Beller,"

He tried to explain, "I'm just rejecting ambiguity, not rejecting cooperation. You can't confuse the two..."

"Why would I cooperate with you if you wouldn't flirt with me? You heartless scumbag!"

Beryl said angrily, "Get out, and I'll pretend I never saw you!"

Ye Xiao scratched his head, thinking that since they couldn't reach an agreement, he had no choice but to step out the door.

"You're really leaving?!"

Unexpectedly, the girl who was squatting in the corner saw this and immediately became anxious, jumping up in a flash.

She grabbed Ye Xiao's arm and pulled him back from the doorway. "Don't you have any feelings left at all?! Don't I have any appeal at all?!"

"Be understanding, this is how men are as they get older."

Ye Xiao chuckled awkwardly.

"But you're only eighteen years old!?"

Beryl trembled violently, gripping Ye Xiao's arm tightly with both hands. "You damn scumbag, do you know how much I've done for you?!"

"You just decide to leave, and all you can think about is your damn business?"

"Forehead……?"

Ye Xiao vaguely sensed that the girl's expression had become strange, as if some strange switch had been suddenly triggered, and she began to act oddly.

She gripped Ye Xiao's fingers tighter and tighter, and began to mutter to herself, her eyes gradually flashing with a hint of madness.

"Sit back down. You're not leaving today until I've finished speaking!!!"

Chapter 134 The Disease of Taste

Miss Belle's subtle change in mental state made Ye Xiao hesitant to make any rash moves.

If he had been talking to Beller because he thought he was a rational person, now he felt that the guy seemed to be starting to become a bit unstable.
