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

"Oh." Sherlock simply nodded when he heard that.

"What's wrong? Isn't this news good enough? After becoming a minister, at least you won't have to worry about your life anymore, and you can settle down and start a career in Saint Laurent City. More importantly, the people you will come into contact with in the future will all be from the upper class..."

Seeing Sherlock's indifferent reaction to the proposal, Phil looked at her in confusion.

"Not really." Sherlock said, stopping what he was doing. "I just think... it's a bit hasty to reward people based on their achievements when the matter hasn't been resolved yet."

Yes, Milton's clues were lost in that house. In the end, even though the search team turned the house upside down, they didn't find any clues.

It is true that there is evil sacrifice in the basement, but that does not mean the investigation is over.

"Well, I understand what you're thinking, Charlotte, but there's nothing we can do now. We can only calm everyone's emotions through rewards and get the subsequent work on the right track." Phil said.

After all, he has been in officialdom and is certainly well versed in the use of this kind of power.

"Besides, after you get promoted, won't you have more resources available? Then you won't have to ask me to cooperate with you, and you can conduct the investigation on your own."

"But on the other hand, you will lose a lot of freedom, right?" Sherlock asked.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We are all helpless." Phil sighed helplessly.

Sherlock did not want to refuse the reward of promotion. After all, it was the Emperor who personally ordered the commendation for him. If he did not accept it, it would somewhat offend His Majesty, and he would not have an easy time in the future.

"Okay, when will you take office?" Sherlock asked Phil

"I will take you there tomorrow." Seeing that Sherlock agreed, Phil breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

"Just believe me, it's better to have someone to help you than to fight alone."

"Ah."

……

"Ah! Big brother, you're back!" Lena was on her way back to the dormitory with Lianka after class today, and happened to meet Orson who was about to go out.

When she saw Orson, Lena's expression changed slightly, but she then raised her hand and greeted Orson.

Lianka on the side also saw Orson early on. She was ready to pull Lena and take a detour, but Lena was too strong, so she could only follow Lena back the same way.

"Oh... Orson, long time no see." Lianka said.

"Well, long time no see, Lianka, Lena." Orson was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them, but when he looked up at the sky which was already setting, he came back to his senses.

Lena ran to Orson in small steps, looked up at Orson, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual about Orson.

Lianka also came to Orson. Since they met, they decided to find something to talk about.

With this in mind, Lianka asked;

"Orson... I heard from my sister before... that you were injured outside? How is it? Is it serious?"

When Orson heard Lianka's question, he didn't say anything. Instead, Lena turned her head away quietly, looking innocent as if she knew nothing.

However, Lianka didn't pay attention to Lena's expression at the moment. She was waiting for Orson's answer.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Didn't your sister tell you that I could get out of bed and move around the next day?" Orson said this and shook his arms to show that he was fine.

"That's good." Lianka breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

Then her pupils shrank and she quickly took two steps back.

"Um... I'm not... I'm not saying that I care about you, it's just... it's just because you are my brother-in-law, plus the agreement we made before, so I asked... Absolutely, absolutely, I don't have any other intentions!"

"I know." Orson nodded with a smile, then said, "I have something else to do, so I won't stay here for now. Lianka, I'd better trouble you to take care of Lena these days."

"Ah...yeah, I see."

When she heard that Orson was leaving, Lianka's eyes showed a trace of loneliness, but she still agreed.

Only after Orson walked away did Lianka look at Lena beside her.

"Lena, let's go back."

"stare……"

But Lena just stood there and stared at Lianka.

"Eh? Lena, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"

Lianka was a little frightened by Lena's stare, and immediately asked.

"Sister Lianka, you don't like big brother, do you?"

"How...how is it possible! Lena, don't think too much!" Lianka said this and quickly waved her hand, signaling Lena not to think too much.

"How could I possibly like that guy? He's not good at anything except being a nicer person, gentler, more powerful, and more handsome. Besides, he's my brother-in-law..."

"Oh~" Lena nodded after hearing that.

"Since he's Sister Lianka's brother-in-law, Sister Lianka has no chance."

"That's right!" Lianka nodded vigorously in agreement.

"So Sister Lianka feels sorry?"

"...No!" Lianka subconsciously wanted to nod, but after hearing what Lena said, she quickly shook her head.

"Huhu, it seems like what I thought is the same." Lena said this, covering her mouth and showing a cunning smile.

"What are you thinking? Hey!"

……

After obtaining a temporary entry and exit certificate, Orson walked out of the college and came to a restaurant not far from the college.

Orson gave his name, and soon someone led him to a box on the second floor.

At this moment, in the box, a masked man was sitting there, eating the bread given before the meal.

Only after seeing Orson come in did he look up at Orson.

"long time no see."

"Well, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Having said this, Orson sat down opposite the man.

"It's really hard. My pretty face is broken." The man half-jokingly took off his mask.

Under the short golden hair, on the handsome face, there was a horrible scar not far below the right side of the eye.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work..." Orson said this and sighed.

"doctor."

Chapter 4: Lit's Plan B (K)

"How long have you been in Saint Laurent City?" Seeing that the doctor did not respond, Orson changed the subject.

"Not long ago, I did something small for you. It took a few days, that's all." The doctor said this and continued to chew the bread in his hand.

"Is that so? Then I have to thank you even more..." Orson said this, stroking his chin and thinking, and then said: "What do you want? Money? Or resources that can help you improve your strength?"

"These are not important." The doctor shook his head and then picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.

Then he looked up at Orson.

"Orson, I want an answer."

"Answer?"

"Yes." The doctor nodded.

"Have you ever heard of the name Marcus?"

When he heard the name, Orson was stunned.

The doctor also saw his reaction clearly.

"It seems I have got the answer I wanted." The doctor said with a smile.

"What is your relationship with him?"

Orson was silent for a moment, then looked up at the doctor with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"My mother told me that my father's name was Marcus, and he died on the road defending his country."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? This is fate. My father worked for your father, and now I'm working for you."

This kind of dramatic plot that is played by fate is really hard to guess.

"I really didn't expect it." Orson said frankly.

"Tell me, then, Orson, what caused my father's death?"

"If you want to know these, you should ask Giovanni or my father for the answers. After all, I don't remember anything when he died, right?"

When the doctor heard Orson say this, he sneered at himself again.

He originally thought that Orson knew his identity and sent him to Giovanni as an undercover agent, but he didn't expect that the truth was simpler than he thought.

Orson simply saw his ability.

But that's true. He had never told anyone his identity or his father's name. These had long been buried in the grave along with his mother's death.

When he brought it up again now, it was just a request for help from Orson as he was confused in life.

"So, we have always been on the same front, doctor." Orson said this and extended his hand to the doctor.

"Just take a good rest these days. After a while, I will give you a chance to take revenge with your own hands."

The doctor looked at Orson's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand and shook his.

"Of course I know all this, but, Orson, there is something I must remind you of." The doctor said this and pointed in the direction of the palace.

"You are becoming less and less like yourself now."

“Is there a possibility that the me now is the real me?”

When Orson heard the doctor's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"If that's the case, you'll end up like me."

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

"..." Upon hearing this, the doctor loosened his hand around Orson's and stood up.

"Are you unhappy?"

"No, I'm going to complete the task you assigned me."

Having said this, the doctor walked to the door of the box.

Standing at the door, he paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Orson.

"Orson, the reason why shadows are called shadows is because they are against light."

"Some things can be safely handed over to others, and they won't give you any leverage."

“And if you cross that line, the balance between light and dark is broken, and those who were once in the dark will become hostile to you because you squeezed their position.”

"Those who are still in the light will not show mercy to you just because of your achievements."

After saying this, the doctor opened the door and left the box, leaving Orson alone in the box drinking.

"Doctor, how could I not know what you said..." As he said this, Orson let out a long sigh.

But there are some things he has to do.

He has no choice.

……

After Orson returned to the dormitory, he fell into a tired sleep.

Without Leeteuk's company, he felt a little lonely, but also slept more soundly.

But today, he had a dream again after a long time.

In the dream, it was still the familiar basement, the familiar chains and the big bed, and the familiar person.

"Brother Orson, it's useless~" Litt in the dream said this while he rushed forward and pressed Orson under him.

"I know that you have been waiting for Her Majesty the Queen and His Excellency the Duke of Prussia to come and rescue you these days."

"But, I'm so sorry. Who told me that I am now the most powerful person in the empire? The knowledge and power I gained from you have made me omnipotent~"
