The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Hydra's tone was like an opera singer, very exaggerated: "How does it feel to put it on again?"

"Pooh!"

In the dark cage, Xitana spat at him without hesitation and said hatefully, "Sooner or later I will tie this thing to your head and strangle your brain once more!"

"Your feelings for me have reached rock bottom, dear Sitana." Hydra sighed, "You used to only say that you would attack me more fiercely."

"Ha! Do you still expect me to follow you around like a dog, barking at you after you say those crazy things?"

The girl stared at the devil in front of her, half of whose face was shrouded in shadow, feeling angry and sad.

Even she herself couldn't tell whether this sentence still contained some sad fantasy.

Just as Ansel said, in his frank words, so-called good and evil are not important at all.

Shitana would never accept... would never accept her life being manipulated like a toy. This was the root of why she would never forgive Anser and why she hated him so much, and it had nothing to do with anything else.

The wolf's words made Hydra laugh. He tilted his head slightly, and his smile under the shadow seemed a little exaggerated:

"I know, so I never intended to convince you verbally—"

He raised his finger and tapped lightly on his neck.

Xitana shuddered subconsciously, curled up her body, tensed her muscles, and waited for the familiar spasm to come.

But... nothing happened.

Only Hydra's hearty and joyful laughter echoed in the dream.

“Hahahahaha, Xitana, aren’t you used to that feeling? I heard that some people feel wonderful pleasure from electric shocks, will you—”

"Shut up!"

Shitana yelled in shame and anger - she didn't know why she could still feel the so-called "shame and anger" when facing this guy. Logically, the surging hatred in her heart should have swallowed her up and crushed her rationality into dregs.

Hydra just smiled gently: "You see, you still show that heart-warming angry expression as before. Dear Xitana, you don't hate me as much as you think, right?"

Although it was clearly her dream, Xitana could only watch Anser dominating everything at will. His expression of always being at ease finally ignited a real rage in Xitana's heart. The loneliness and depression that she had swallowed in the past few days burst out at this moment, causing her to roar with great sadness and hatred:

“Don’t act like you know me so well! You’re just a beast who treats me as a plaything! A liar who’s full of lies! I don’t hate you that much… Hahahaha, how can you say that!”

"Hydra..." The wolf, whose body and mind were covered with scars, spoke with hatred, and roared like he was gnashing his teeth and sucking blood, "How can a great man like you understand the pathetic and pitiful feeling of being fooled, controlled, and manipulated by others!"

[How can everything you have experienced escape my control? 】

In Hitana's eyes, Ansor was absolutely unable to understand the infinite despair that this short sentence brought to her.

There is no doubt that the guy regarded this as a part of taming me, and he said shamelessly, "I will never give up on you"... After going through so much and hearing his "sincere words", did he still think that I would take this sentence seriously?

Give up? Care? Even Sitana would throw away her toys, so how could the guy who manipulated her life at will care about a puppet?

When she thought about the ups and downs she had experienced and all the emotions she had felt, they were all just plots carefully designed by the other party. When she thought about how her every move and every thought would make the other party laugh in a corner where she couldn't see, even for that self-righteous "growth", the raging fire in Hitana's heart could not be extinguished.

At this time, the Hydra shrouded in shadow opposite Xitana fell silent.

"What, you're speechless?"

The wolf mocked without hesitation: "So you also know how damnable what you did is? Then why don't you just die? If so, maybe after a year or two, I will feel a little guilty about you."

"If I really die, won't you regret it?"

For some reason, Hydra seemed a little agitated. He tilted his head, having been silent just now. “I thought you would worry about whether I was really dead not long after leaving the Scarlet Frost Territory.”

"Or rather..." He laughed again, "You knew very well that I wouldn't die so easily, so you dared to use such a heavy hand, didn't you?"

"Bullshit! I don't care what happened to you. I wanted you to die in the most miserable way possible!"

"Hmm...that's it."

Hydra said this, and then his head exploded.

Bones, blood, flesh, and brain matter splattered all over Hitana's face.

thump—

The headless body just fell to the ground.

"Actually, I'm really dead, Shitana." A voice with a hint of relief and sigh echoed in the dream, echoing in the ears of Shitana, who had a dazed look on her face.

"The one who appeared in your dream was only the last vestige of my soul."

The gentle voice was filled with some regret: "I wanted to see how you really see me... It seems that I have gone too far."

"But it's fine this way. Since you sincerely think so, my death is of some value."

“…Heh, heh…hahahahaha…”

The wolf's face twitched, revealing a hideous and somewhat frightened twisted smile: "Is it fun to fool me? Do you think I will be like a clown and let you crawl around in panic with a few seemingly sincere lies?"

"Lies... lies..."

Hydra sighed, "When have I ever lied to you? You know it, Xitana."

"..."

There was a very long silence between the two.

"You..." After the silence, Xitana's tone finally changed significantly. Her hands trembled slightly as she wiped the blood off her face. "How could you... You are Hydra, how could you be killed by me!"

"Isn't this a very simple truth?"

Hydra smiled:

"Because I never put my guard up against you, Sitana."

"I never thought my life would end so absurdly. It's really, um... interesting."

He said with a smile in a very relaxed manner: "You are the first person who made me miscalculate. In a way, this is also within my expectations... You are indeed the most perfect, Xitana. It's a pity that I can't see it."

Hydra let out a lazy and relieved sigh, and his voice gradually faded away:

"No matter how much you hate me, don't come to me too early, Sitana."

"I won't greet you."

Then, everything disappeared.

The corpse, the voice, and the sticky feeling on his face all seemed to be illusions.

In this empty and dark dream, only Hitana was left, kneeling on the ground in a daze.

She tried to pull the corners of her mouth, her face twitching:

"Ha, ha, ha, do you want to use this trick to play tricks on me again?"

"What do you mean by defenseless? Do you think I would believe such a lie?"

"You think... you think that if you let me kill you once, I will forgive you!?"

"Answer me, Hydra! Come out! Speak!"

Sitana's voice gradually became out of tune and distorted, and then... it was close to collapse.

"Asshole! Beast! Get out here! You win! Now you can jump out and tell me that you have successfully fooled me again, come out and tell me! Laugh at me!"

The wolf's pupils trembled violently, and the fragility beneath the rage and hatred surfaced, just like on the way home, she had remembered the boy's smile and words countless times, and forced herself to forget countless times.

As long as all the wolf cubs have not died, the Sky Wolf Emperor has not been born, and the tyranny of devouring the world is still in the making, Shitana is still Shitana, and will always be Shitana, the girl who is always as passionate as fire no matter love or hate.

Hatred cannot erase her attachment, and love cannot offset her rage...she appears both strong and weak.

"Were you discovered so soon?"

At the moment when Xitana was about to cry in despair, a familiar chuckle sounded behind her ears.

"But doesn't this prove everything?"

"Xitana, believe me, you always care about me."

"And so am I."

This time, her erratic rage instantly reached its peak. In her trance and shock, the fragility in her heart was instantly wiped out. Shetana shouted the bastard's name in extreme rage, and then -

Bang!

The girl stood up too quickly and collapsed the bed.

Xitana looked around in a daze, looking at the unfamiliar environment and familiar objects, and her mind gradually returned to reality from the hazy and illusory dream.

Dream...is that a dream?

No, that's not right!

In an instant, Miss Wolf, who understood exactly how wicked, shameless, sinister, and evil that guy was, trembled all over and squeezed out words from between her teeth:

"Hydra..."

"I must...I must make you...kowtow and admit your mistake in front of me!"

"Ten thousand times!"

"So, she is an erratic and fragile person, right, Professor Polynya?"

In the young Hydra's sacred study, which was rarely visited by outsiders, Anser was entertaining a distinguished guest.

Hyacintos Polynya, one of the thirty-two tenured professors of the Skyfrost Tower, has her own independent tower in the great tower standing in the north. She has profound attainments in sound, truth words, and pure ether control, and is also an amazing music master. Most importantly, she is the most likely person to become the fifth extraordinary person in the Skyfrost Tower to wear the fifth-level crown in the past ten years. Once she succeeds, the balance between the Gray Tower and the Iron Blade will be completely broken.

Of course, these titles and identities that sound intimidating have no value in Anther's eyes. Although the Grand Duke of Grey Tower regards him as a junior, it is because he stands at the top of the empire and is one of the thirteen people second only to the emperor, excluding Hydra. Moreover, not all grand dukes regard Anther as a junior.

No matter how knowledgeable and promising Polynya was, she should have been flattered to be invited by Ansel.

So why did Mr. Hydra, who didn't have much free time, take time out to chat with the professor?

The reason is simple, because under her many glorious titles, Polynya also has two secret identities.

One of them was a true mentor who spotted and discovered Shetana’s talent, brought her to the Skyfrost Tower, and handled countless troubles for the violent and unscrupulous little Shetana...

If she didn't have a strong enough backer, how could Hitana not only escape unscathed after angering so many nobles and causing so much trouble, but also ensure that her family would not be harmed?

Polynya, a plain-looking but mature woman, smiled helplessly: "That's how the child is... Impulsiveness and anger are not so much shortcomings that she cannot control, but rather weapons that she cannot do without."

"She needs to use these things to cover up her loneliness and fragility. Because she is an outlier in the academy, she is always isolated and criticized. She can only use this method to protect... no, to comfort herself."

At this point, Professor Polynya sighed, "I enrolled her as an ordinary professor. I didn't want a star destined to shine in the empire to be buried, but I also didn't want my identity to bring her huge external pressure. I never thought... with her personality, she was destined not to stay in an academic campus like the Sky Frost Tower for long."

"You are a scholar who focuses on academics." Anser comforted him, "And she was also a difficult child at that time. No one could have predicted what would happen."

“But it’s the teacher’s responsibility… My friends have always said I’m not cut out to be a teacher.”

Professor Polynya smiled bitterly, "After Xitana dropped out of school, I also realized this."

This scholar, who was well-known in the North and even in the entire Empire, sighed deeply: "If I had stopped my research at that time and devoted my whole heart to taking care of Xitana, perhaps everything would be different... Ah! I don't mean that it was a wrong choice for Xitana to work for you."

As if realizing that her words were inappropriate, Polynya quickly changed her words and said, "She has a better future with you..."

The woman looked at Anser pleadingly: "I hope she can have a better future, Lord Hydra."

"Since you have also seen the great talent that shines in her, you must cherish her very much."

"Yes, it's just that some unpleasant things happened some time ago."

Anser said with some sadness: "Sitana chose to leave me temporarily, and I can't decide what to do with her. So I want to have a good chat with you about her personality in the next two days."

The reason why Polynya took time off from her busy research work to keep the appointment was due to the identity of the inviter, and another reason was the reason given by Ansel.

"Ah... it's about the great cold snap."

Polynya's eyes dimmed: "She is a good child, but... I just hope you don't blame her."

What happened in Red Frost City has only recently begun to spread due to Anther's deliberate manipulation. It is not surprising that someone of Polynia's level knows about it - but for her who focuses on academics, she knows about this not because she cares about the current situation, but simply because after learning that Xitana was hanging out with Anther, she has been paying attention to Xitana's situation.

The woman pondered for a while, then said to Anser quite seriously:

“Even though four years have passed, I think the essence of that child will not change.”

"Xitana... is a very contradictory girl. She is always strong, but also very fragile. In front of the things she cares about and cherishes, she is always very fragile. No matter how fierce she appears, it is all to cover up that fragility."

"Hmm..." Anser nodded thoughtfully.

"You are clearly the part of her that she cares about, Master Hydra."

For some reason, Polynya looked a little strange when she said this.
