The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Marina smiled, but her plain androgynous adventurer outfit could not hide the charming charm of her smile.

"..."

Yapper paused slightly in pressing on Marina's head, but only for a moment before continuing to press.

But she didn't do anything to Marina's head, instead she took off the beret on her head.

"What an enviable head of hair." Yapo stroked Marina's hair and said with a smile, "What's your name, lovely lady?"

"Magantear Brandt."

"Okay, then I'll call you Miss Maganlei."

The mature and beautiful woman sat next to Marina, and stood close to her in a very intimate manner, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"Ms. Maganlei, you seem...very confident."

Yaper casually entangled Marina's hair around her fingertips: "Do you not know me, or are you simply not smart enough?"

Marina did not answer, but pulled out a revolver from the holster on her waist, then took out a silk scarf from her pocket and wiped the pistol carefully.

“This…Pfft, hahahahahaha—”

After being stunned for a moment, Queen Bee laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She gently pushed Marina's shoulder and laughed happily:

"Ms. Maganlei, this is your answer? This is your confidence? An etheric gun?"

"Mr. Faust thought that I could not really be left here without anything."

Marina smiled shyly: "You always have to have something to rely on."

She popped out the cylinder and looked at the internal structure with great curiosity, as if she had never used this thing before.

"So...hahahaha...is this what you rely on?"

Yaper held Marina's hand and put the muzzle of the gun against her head with great joy, still unable to stop laughing: "Come on, shoot, Miss Maganlei, let me see how hard and hot the gun that Mr. Faust gave you is."

"What are you talking about, ma'am?" Marina said helplessly, "I haven't loaded the gun yet."

"Oh, that's true. Then you should reload the bullets quickly, lovely Miss Maganlei."

Queen Bee held the gun barrel with a smile, and seemed to be looking forward to Marina shooting her directly in the head.

"I wouldn't shoot you even if I were loaded, ma'am."

Marina blinked. "There's no reason for me to do this, right? It's like..."

She smiled and stretched out her hand, slowly prying open Yaper's fingers that were holding the gun barrel:

"Just like you have no reason to attack me."

The smile on Yapper's face gradually disappeared.

She pinched Marina's wrist, and slowly closed her five fingers. From her palms she could hear the friction sound of bones being squeezed, and even a faint cracking sound.

"Confidence is a good thing, Miss Maganlei."

The woman who did not use any extraordinary power and was disdainful of using it looked at the beautiful girl in front of her whose face was gradually turning pale, and showed an even more cruel smile.

"I have no reason to put my hands on you, huh?"

She licked her lips and did not crush Marina's wrist directly. Instead, she applied pressure little by little, enjoying the process of torturing her.

"Guess, can you keep your hand?"

“…You might as well make a guess.” Marina, whose face had turned pale due to the pain, gave a forced smile.

"After Mr. Faust came back, was it your left hand or your right hand that you lost, or...your beautiful and exquisite head?"

Facing the brutal and cruel eyes, Marina did not back down at all. Instead, she smiled even more brightly: "It's just a small gamble. Ms. Snake is not a gambler, so she chose to watch. What about you, ma'am? Do you want to join the table?"

"…You want to use ten thousand yuan worth of chips to gamble with my rusty copper coin?"

Queen Bee narrowed her eyes slightly, she temporarily stopped what she was doing, turned her head and looked at the Serpent Serpent: "Is that Faust worth your vigilance?"

"Maybe it's not worth it." The Serpent replied expressionlessly, "I'll know once you try it."

"Okay, let me change the question..."

Yaper's eyes also turned colder, as if she was dissatisfied with Serpent's perfunctory answer: "Why did Mr. Faust kill people?"

In Strife Castle... or in the entire Western Kingdom, murder is a matter of any size.

As long as the killer is much stronger than the killed, and the background is also the same, then killing is not a big deal.

"Those two people wanted to insult me." Marina smiled, "So Mr. Faust punished me, that's all."

"Oh... if it's Miss Maganlei, then this is not impossible."

Yaper nodded in sudden realization: "It seems that they both died in vain."

As she said this, the coldness on her face became more obvious.

How could such a thing happen in a brothel like Neverland? He came here to have fun with women, so who would be so stupid as to provoke a guy who looks like a troublesome person just for the sake of a lower body impulse that could have been easily solved?

Yaper trusted the vision of the worker bees. After the prostitution market was occupied by the servant snakes, she used this "tour guide" to establish relationships with the high-level extraordinary people who came to the Castle of Strife as soon as possible.

There are many people like the worker bees scattered throughout the teleportation points of the Castle of Strife. Their mission is to find powerful extraordinary people like "Faust" and integrate them into the hive's social network.

Therefore, their vision and sense of smell are beyond doubt, and according to the description of the worker bees, that "Faust" does not seem to like to hide his shortcomings. He is powerful and flamboyant... How could there be an idiot in a brothel who would provoke such a person for a woman?

This is definitely not the reason, which means... he did it on purpose.

And if he did it on purpose—

Marina's smile seemed completely unaffected by the severe pain in her wrist.

That means... I stayed here on purpose.

After all, it is abnormal, very abnormal, for a mortal to be "taken care of" like this, isn't it?

What exactly does Faust want to do? Why did he kill people from the Howling Legion and the Hive in the brothel? What is the value of me staying here? Is it a bait? Is it a trap? Can you...think it through?

Are there any consequences for trying to torture and kill me while we're shrouded in the fog, Ms. Yapper?

"Ah, speaking of which, let's calculate the time..."

The girl suddenly exclaimed, "Your people should have reached the Cyclops, ma'am... Haven't you found any trace of Mr. Faust yet?"

"...You know a lot, Miss Maganlei."

A slightly uncomfortable smile appeared on the pretty face of Queen Bee: "If I wasn't sure that you were an ordinary person, I would have to change my attitude to chat with you now."

"I never know much, and all I can do is infer."

Marina smiled and said, "After all, you can't find Mr. Faust. The only place we can confirm is the Cyclops Hotel, so we have to go there. It's just that..."

She showed a look of great pity to Yaper: "I don't know how much you value Mr. Faust and how many people you sent. Anyway... I hope you don't think too highly of Mr. Faust."

After all... there was a very talented scholar who hated being disturbed and was reading quietly in her room.

Her words and smile made Queen Bee Yaper's expression even gloomier. The woman tapped her temple with her index finger and used a special communication spell to contact the subordinates who had tracked down the Cyclops Inn:

"Where are you now?"

"Boss? We've arrived at the door of Faust's room, ready to--"

"...No, stop, come back first and think long and hard."

"But we have already—Ah!"

The scream that suddenly sounded in her mind made Yaper's heart tremble violently.

"What is this... Where is the enemy? Who? Who is it? Come out! I want to kill--"

After this angry roar came to an abrupt end, no more sound was heard.

"Look at your expression."

Marina, whose bones were broken by Yapper's pinch, was trembling all the time. She couldn't control her hand at all and reached into her pocket, stroking something with difficulty. At the same time, she sighed with great regret: "It seems that I reminded you too late. I'm sorry, ma'am."

At this moment, Queen Bee no longer had any intention of chatting with Marina, let alone pretending.

She stared at Marina intently, suppressing the murderous intent in her heart, and said word by word: "You, you guys, what exactly do you want to do?"

Marina smiled and said, "Is it important? The law of adventurers... the strong are respected. Mr. Faust doesn't need to explain his thoughts to you, Ms. Yaper."

"Ha!" The woman sneered fiercely, "Do you really think he is Faust? Does he really think he is Faust?"

"For me, Mr. Faust has never been 'fake'. Besides..."

Marina's almost crippled hand trembled as she took out a bullet.

She used her other hand to eject the cylinder of her revolver, chuckled and said:

"You just gave up... and continued to do something to me with that thought in mind, didn't you?"

Wanton and arrogant behavior, strange and unknown purpose, and immeasurable strength.

All these things combined would not necessarily make the Queen Bee afraid to act rashly - so what if he had some strength? Could he really fight against the entire Strife Castle?

But what if this person, who has a rich background, is wealthy, but is also extremely arrogant, does not take the Castle of Strife seriously at all, and whose strength and purpose are difficult to predict... his name is Faust?

When these things were paired with the name Faust, Yapper's thoughts involuntarily slid to an area that Marina expected -

What if that man is really Faust?

Do you dare to kill, do you dare to persecute, the true servants of Faust?

The pain from her wrist made Marina breathe heavier uncontrollably, but she still suppressed the intense pain and sent the only bullet into the magazine.

She threw the cylinder back into the gun and said as she looked at this beautiful revolver:

"Ma'am, I told you this gun is my lifeline, right?"

While Yapper was in doubt, Marina smiled and placed the revolver across her shoulder, with the cylinder against her arm.

"But I never said that this 'rely on' means I can use it to protect myself."

The cylinder of the revolver rolled as the pistol slid down the arm, making a cold mechanical sound that could not be covered by the girl's gentle voice.

When the pistol passed across the back of her hand, the cylinder was still spinning at high speed, and the delicate Miss Maganlei... pointed the muzzle of the gun at her own temple.

Click.

The sound of the cylinder stopping its rotation and the sound of the hammer colliding were heard together.

Yapo looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief, who could be crushed to death by just one finger, and subconsciously said, "You——"

Click.

The sound of the cylinder idling once made her heart stop, and she couldn't even utter a word.

"Oh."

The girl pulled the trigger without hesitation and said in surprise: "My luck is pretty good."

As she said this, she pulled the hammer again, and her index finger was on the trigger again.

"Then next time..."

"You are crazy!"

Yaper yelled with a ferocious look on her face: "What are you going to do! If you want to die, die in front of your Faust!"

“Don’t get excited… Don’t get excited, ma’am.” The girl who pointed the muzzle of the gun at her temple consoled her. “You probably think that I must have made some other preparations to die, so you didn’t shoot my gun away, right? After all, you are the Extraordinary One… It should be easy for you to save me before I pull the trigger.”

——Actually, Yapo hadn’t thought about this. She was just confused by Marina’s crazy behavior.

"But for fragile mortals," Marina sighed, "death is always a simple thing, isn't it?"

When Yapo realized that she could easily take the gun, she hesitated again because of Marina's words.

She was not a sorcerer with fancy tricks. If this madman really had some means of suicide... If this madman really died in front of her, if that Faust was the real deal -

The ending pointed to by the many seemingly plausible clues connected together made the mature and beautiful woman's body begin to tremble.

In the final analysis, this is actually a very simple multiple-choice question - if the man is not Faust, and everything is just this bitch taking advantage of the situation, then it is only a matter of time before her lies are exposed, and I have plenty of time to deal with her.

And if that man was really Faust, and if his servants died like this...

"Ms. Maganlei..." Yaper put on a friendly and gentle smile on her face, "What do you...Mr. Faust need? How can I help--"

Click.

"Not a second time?"

Marina tilted her head slightly: "It seems that my luck is really good today."
