My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

This woman is the most difficult one I have ever met since I was a child.

Obviously, if she is going to be my fiancée, she should have a good impression of me, but I don’t know why, she always teases my heartstrings intentionally or unintentionally. She always pretends to like me, but instantly retracts her hand when I want to confirm.

This made Orson, who already had a strong desire to win, even more unwilling to lose.

One day I will uncover the true face of this evil woman.

"But..." Olivia moved a chair and sat next to Orson's desk.

Although Orson would move his chair back to its original position every time Olivia left as a silent resistance, Olivia would ignore what Orson did and continue to sit next to him every time she came.

But if Orson asked, Olivia could still defend without blind spots.

Over time, Orson got used to it. Although he still put the chair back, he no longer had any resistance to Olivia sitting over him.

"Mr. Orson." Olivia said, playing with her fingers.

"What's wrong?" Orson heard this and turned to look at Olivia.

"Donny and Tyrell, they should be imprisoned and tortured now, right?"

"Ah, them." Orson nodded. "That should be the case, but I don't care about them. They can't come back to the academy anyway."

"Is it really necessary to kill them all?" Olivia suddenly said. "It's enough to just punish them a little. There's no need to set such a big trap."

"Once forbidden magic is involved, things won't be so easy to resolve."

"In this way, the relationship between the Stranik family and the Florence family is completely irreconcilable."

"I know." Orson nodded. "But, if it were Olivia, if you knew someone was eyeing you, would you just let it go?"

"But the strength of the Dukedom of Napoli cannot be underestimated."

"I know this, but I believe that no matter what Giovanni does, he will still put the interests of the country first at this juncture. Besides, even if the dukes really turn against each other, His Majesty the Emperor will intervene."

"Really?" Olivia smiled and looked at Orson. "Will everything really go as smoothly as you think, Orson?"

"Even if Duke Giovanni won't do this, will Donnie, who inherits the Duke's position, consider the overall situation?"

"And will the emperor really intervene in the dispute between the dukes? Or will he just sit on the sidelines and wait until both sides are defeated before taking action?"

"..." Orson looked at Olivia's smile, was silent for a while, and then lowered his head. "I can't say, but I can only hope that everything goes well."

"Hope..." Olivia thought for a moment, then said, "That's not your style, Mr. Orson."

"Oh? Then what kind of person am I in your opinion?"

"Hmm..." Olivia thought for a moment. "Mr. Orson, you are someone who is willing to use any means to protect the people around you. You don't seem like someone who would pin their hopes on others."

"..." Orson smiled. "Ms. Olivia seems to know me very well."

"Yeah." Olivia nodded. "After all, you just did that."

As he said this, Orson's facial expression froze.

This woman, is there something else behind her words?

"I really didn't expect that." Olivia's tone was filled with resentment. "I thought I helped Orson a lot and could give him a surprise, but when I think back on it, I realize that I was used by Orson."

"No way." Orson said awkwardly: "I have never used you, Olivia. You helped me find Anya to testify about this matter. I have always been grateful to you."

"Well, I'll take that as the case." Olivia heard this and continued, "But, the forbidden magic thing isn't that simple, right?"

"Does Orson know something?" She smiled.

"...I still can't hide it from you." Orson said this and nodded. "Since you already know, why bother asking me?"

"Tell me what conditions can keep you silent. I will do my best as long as I can do it."

"No need." Olivia shook her head.

This made Orson even more alert.

Is she determined to use this to threaten me?

"Let's use this to rebuild trust between us." Olivia extended her hand to Orson.

"After all, now that the engagement has been finalized, the Duchy of Prussia and the Duchy of Antica will be allies in the future. No matter what happens in other regions, I will be your staunch ally."

Love everyone.

Of course, Olivia didn't say this.

After all, if she told it out loud, her carefully designed plan to make Orson fall step by step would fail.

Orson looked at Olivia's actions. Although he was a little confused about why she did this, he still felt relieved and reached out his hand to shake hers.

"In that case, I would like to thank Olivia first."

Of course, even though he said this, Orson still felt uneasy. He had to be on guard against Olivia at all times.

……

On the other side, Lit followed Virgil, and they were going to an underground casino today.

It is not surprising that the imperial city has such an industry. Rather, the more prosperous the city, the more developed the gray industry is.

As the areas with the most contact with social people, places such as pubs, casinos, and clubs are also the most suitable places to establish intelligence networks.

Virgil arrived in Saint Laurent City several years ago. At that time, he received an order from Orson and settled down in Saint Laurent City in advance.

No one would have thought that the young boy who was only in his teens would become the leader of one of the top underworld forces in Saint Laurent City.

people.

"Master Virgil." After seeing Virgil coming, the waiters of the casino bowed to Virgil one after another, and then respectfully welcomed Virgil and Litt in.

"Senior Virgil, I think you are amazing." Leeteuk said this, his tone revealing his envy of Virgil. "So many people can obey your orders."

"That's nothing." Virgil smiled. "As long as you have money, you can find many people who will serve you."

The two men walked towards the inside of the casino. At this time, Litt saw a middle-aged man suddenly crying and shouting wildly, and then he was carried out by the security guards.

"What's going on..." Lit asked with some confusion.

"He must have lost money gambling." Virgil said nonchalantly.

In places like casinos, many gamblers lose their fortunes every day, and many even go into huge debts. They have to work like slaves for others for the rest of their lives, and may not even have a second half of their lives.

If you've seen it too much, you won't be surprised.

Litt stood there in a daze, and only caught up with Virgil after the middle-aged man's crying and shouting died down.

This time she walked much slower.

Looking at the various lives in the casino, the joy of those who win, the pain and anger of those who lose, everyone here feels as if something has been taken away once they sit at the gambling table.

"Don't look at these, Lit." Virgil said this and called Lit to follow quickly.

Litt nodded and followed Virgil to the office.

After sending the servants away, Virgil sat down at his desk, while Litt sat stiffly on a chair beside him.

"Master Lit." When there were only two people left, Virgil finally resumed addressing Lit. "I admire your willingness to touch the darkness, but can you please tell me why you want to know all this?"

"I... I want to help Orson..." Lit said this and lowered his head. "I, since I came back home, I have been bothering Orson, whether it's studying or martial arts. After I went to school, I got into a lot of trouble again, and every time Orson helped me to deal with it..."

"Yeah." Virgil nodded. Of course he knew about Litt's affairs. The two brothers had such a good relationship, so it was normal for him to have such thoughts.

"I understand. Then, Master Lit, tell me what you saw when you came here just now."

"Okay..." Li Te nodded and expressed his thoughts.

"Master Lit, you are very smart and observant." Virgil nodded. "Yes, the casino, whether it is the rich and powerful who come here to seek excitement, or the ordinary people who want to dream of getting rich overnight, they all gather here. Therefore, the casino is one of the places where the most information flows."

"Then, do you feel pity for those who lose all their wealth in gambling?"

"Of course... They have gone astray. If, if there were no casinos, they wouldn't..." As Litt said this, it seemed as if he was implying that he was very dissatisfied with Virgil opening a casino.

"Master Litt, this is where you need to grow." Virgil said this and took out a stack of documents and handed them to Litt.

It records the people who go in and out of the casino, their income and expenditure in the casino, their property and wealth, and their final fate.

"Many of these people, in your opinion, are the kind of poor people who can be educated, right?" Virgil said, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, but I can only tell you, Master Leete, that most of them had already developed the habit of gambling before the casino opened."

"Even without our casinos, they would still organize private gambling on their own, and then the industry would still develop."

"And then, guess what, if there were no casino regulations, would people die from that kind of privately agreed gambling?"

In fact, the casino opened by Virgil is considered to be relatively conscientious. At least there will be no selling of hands and feet here. If you owe a debt that you cannot pay off, at most you will be detained and forced to work to pay off the debt, and your family will not be held accountable.

"Then... since gambling is so harmful to people, why doesn't the city hall order the casinos to be closed..." Litt was a little confused.

Virgil smiled.

"Of course it's because of money." As he said this, he handed the account book to Litt. Litt saw that although the casino had a lot of revenue every month, a lot of it was allocated out.

The part allocated out is the tax paid to the local government.

"At the same time, think about what kind of people are involved in this industry chain?" Virgil began to point out.

Qilit.

"To run a place like this, the most important thing is naturally money. In addition, you also need a force that is not afraid of suppression. Therefore, only nobles and wealthy businessmen can run such a place."

"There is a whole industry chain here. Those gamblers who want to soar to the sky are mostly ordinary people, right? Where do they get so much money to enter the casino? There is a whole loan sharking industry behind this."

"There are many gray industries, and they are all complementary to each other. One move can affect the whole body."

"Many people can't pay back their debts, so they have to work in pubs, clubs or mines to pay off their debts." Virgil explained the operating principles of the gray industry.

"Master Litt, how is it? Do you feel strange?" Virgil sat back in his chair.

“These industries are obviously evil and exploitative, but they are still thriving and even supported by some people to a certain extent.”

Then, Virgil's own tone took on a hint of anger.

"Yes, it is this rotten industry! But it can help us the most. That's why I came here to develop these."

He was also very dissatisfied with the current situation, but there was nothing he could do.

"So, Master Li Te, after you recognize these, are you still willing to face these and learn these?"

Upon hearing this, Li Te lowered his head and remained silent.

Just when Virgil thought he was about to give up, Leeteuk looked up.

"Senior Virgil, Orson, has he done any of this?"

"Of course." Virgil nodded.

In order to allow Virgil to do these things without any pressure, Orson even personally instructed him on how to run these industries.

It is thanks to Orson that these gray industries under Virgil can now develop so well.

"Then I want to learn." Li Te's tone was very firm.

"...Okay." After a long moment, Virgil nodded.

He could feel that Litt's aura was gradually changing.

It seemed that she was no longer the harmless little lamb.

……

On the other side, Orson was going to the library for something. After coming out of the library, he happened to meet Lianka at the door.

He was about to say hello to Lianka, but she turned around and ran away.

Feeling that Lianka seemed to be worried about something, Orson thought about it and decided to chase her to ask about the situation.

Then he found Lianka in a pavilion by a lake.

The latter was sitting in the pavilion at the moment, hugging his legs and looking at the lake.

Orson walked over slowly and then sat down beside the pavilion.

"Lianka, it looks like you are worried?"

"Oh, you're nosy." Lianka said this without any mercy in her words.

"I'm just a little worried about you, and I want to tell you something." Orson said. "The engagement has been approved by both parents, and you are no longer my fiancée."
