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

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 at that time would now become the leader of one of the top underworld forces in Saint Laurent City.

"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. "Although I am sorry, I can only tell you, Master Lit, that most of them are

Most people had already developed the gambling habit before the casinos 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 this industry chain and the people involved, what kind of people are they?" Virgil began to enlighten Litt.

"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."

Orson thought that what he said would make Lianka a little happier, after all, she didn't like him in the first place.

"So you are saying this now just to mock me?" Unexpectedly, Lianka's mood did not improve at all.

"Uh..." Orson was a little confused. Why did Lianka still look unhappy now that he and Lianka had broken up? "No, Lianka, that's not what I meant.

Besides, didn’t you agree to the engagement yourself?”

"Well, so now I'm not your fiancée anymore and I'm not worthy of you. And you came to inform me specially to mock me, right?" Lianka said this with a hint of tears in her tone.

"I know, I know I can't be better than you! No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to surpass you in the evaluation in front of the teacher!"

"Then just let me rot alone, and don't come looking for me, okay?" Lianka said this, and Orson was a little at a loss.

He didn't do anything, so how could he make a girl cry?

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears. "Okay, Lianka."

Following the sound, Olivia came over.

She sat next to Lianka, hugged her gently, then looked at Orson and motioned him to leave.

Orson felt bored, so he nodded and left the pavilion in a low mood.

Then, Olivia began to comfort Lianka.

"Wu... Sister, I, I don't understand. I have already given up, why does he still appear in front of me..."

"Okay, okay, Li'anka, Orson didn't mean to do this." Olivia said, patting Li'anka's head. "I told you, don't care about other people's eyes, just be yourself."

Lianka has obviously gotten better recently and her mentality has become much better, but when Orson suddenly appeared in front of Lianka today, it still aroused Lianka's bad memories.

It is said that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Looking at Lianka's appearance, Olivia certainly knew how to help Lianka untie the knot in her heart.

But when Olivia thought about letting Lianka and Orson come into contact, and the possibility that the two of them might develop feelings for each other because of these events, she couldn't help but hesitate.

After some inner struggle, Olivia felt that she had to ask Orson for help.

It's not a big deal to keep comforting Lianka by yourself.

Besides, the engagement has been changed now, so even if Lianka wants to regret it at that time, it will be impossible.

……

On the other side, Lit was following Virgil to collect debts.

Generally speaking, Virgil doesn't need to do this himself, but in order to train Leeteuk, he still continues to be his own "smiling devil"

In an alley, a middle-aged man in tattered clothes knelt on the ground in fear as he looked at Virgil standing at the entrance of the alley with a sword in his hand.

"Sir, please let me go for the sake of my parents and children!" the man said, kowtowing to Virgil continuously.

Litt, who was following behind Virgil, felt a little sorry and wanted to go forward to help the man up, but Virgil kicked the man into the corner.

Then, with a clanging sound, a dagger slipped out from the man's clothes.

"See, Lit?" Virgil said, looking at Lit. "If you are kind to people like this, they won't remember it, but will take the opportunity to hurt you."
