QT: Against My Will

404 7.28 – No To Casanovas – War Of The Wickeds

Dai An patted the girl’s back, calming her down with her touch, “Do I have to become a step mommy?”

“I don’t think she needs a new mommy, but I’m sure she would welcome a better daddy, am I right? Felicia?” Ru Quan picked the dazed girl by the arms and supported her towards the bathroom, “Warn me before you try to heal somebody. You almost fried her brain.”

Dai An wiggled her fingers before her eyes unbelievably, her lips curving downwards, “Oh my, really? Are you alright?”

“Really,” Ru Quan smiled at her troubled expression, “What? Did you plan to do some good deeds for a change? There’s a better way to collect good karma,” he gave her Earl’s credit card, “Here, some pocket money for the charity.”

“Thank you!” Dai An stopped wiggling her fingers abruptly, “Is there enough pocket money to buy this street? I’ve always wished to build a ghost town.” She had never seen someone as rich as Bing Shi and Xuan Mu. Their wealth was jaw-droppingly enormous, like it was impossible to count nor measure.

“...No...” Ru Quan was sure Earl Fester couldn’t afford her request right now, “...but I’ll see what I can do.”

Dai An nodded her head, waving her hand at him, “No rush.”

Closing the doors to the bathroom, Ru Quan recovered Earl’s daughter’s body back to normal and found out that Dai An used a dopamine-inducing spell on Silvia to spike up her happiness hormone.

.....

His wife was having fun training her ability on him the whole way, coming up with one new spell after another. The amount of focus and energy she had to use to move a pencil as a spirit before would now cause a small explosion. She lacked the basic knowledge and shrugged off the fact that she was no longer just a spirit but also a part of a soul...A God’s soul! Or maybe. She just didn’t give it a second thought because she was sure he would clear after her mess!

Ru Quan handed Earl Fester’s daughter his gun, “If you don’t pull the trigger at me in three minutes, then you will have to go back to your job as a waitress and act like you don’t know me, deal?” Seeing her hesitation, he continued, “Have you seen the beautiful lady outside? She will clear all the evidence of your crime.”

Ru Quan saw no point in possessing bodies of casanovas such as Nathaniel, Damon, or Victor. That was like replacing gold with gold, he would have to go through an extra length to perform according to everyone’s expectations.

Instead, he opted for bodies such as Earl Fester, where he could do whatever he wanted, and everyone would still be thankful that he wasn’t such a piece of shit like the previous owner.

He could kill the previous Earl as Nathaniel, but would he reach his goal that way? He was not here to save the world. He was here to build defensive layers around the HQ to prevent every potential danger.

Current time...

Dai An waited at her seat obediently, flipping a few pages of a magazine Silvia LeClére used to buy in the past. Most topics were about how to win an alpha’s heart and what clothes were the prettiest. Bing Shi said Silvia had a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder. She didn’t know that such behavior had a specific term, but she knew it was an inborn trait which could be suppressed but not cured.

Victor leaned over her shoulders, her soothing scent hit his nostrils as he read the title of the list she just flipped over, “How to intensify the scent of your glands?”

Dai An had no standard for how to be treated like a human being, but thanks to Bing Shi, she wasn’t absolutely clueless now. From today onwards, she wouldn’t be as easy to touch as before, “Burn your flesh then take a swim in a pool of feces,” she read a few made-up lines aloud, “Is what you need to do if you want a most intense scent against Victor Egerton-”

BAM!

“...” Victor almost sprayed his saliva over her magazine, at the same time, he also had to stop a bullet in midair.

Walking towards their table, Ru Quan pulled the trigger a few more times, creating a greater distance between Victor and his wife, “What does an Egerton want in the Fester’s territory?”

Standing face to face with the other man, their eyes kept staring at each other as Ru Quan took the menu from the waitress by his right side and placed it before Dai An, not allowing anything to interrupt their date anymore.

Only now did Victor realize that he strayed into the Fester’s territory, and quickly found an excuse, “I have some unfinished business with Silvia LeClére. Do you know how many men she has been sleeping with behind your back?” The previous Victor was supposed to be killed by Earl Fester to save Silvia later in the plot. Would history repeat itself?

Ru Quan looked down at the little straw hat, “Are any of their surnames Egerton?” When the straw hat shook from right to left, his lips arched into a feral smile, “Good girl.”

Dai An switched her gaze between her magazine and the menu, “If you want to fight, take it outside of the country. I’ll pay for the travel expenses and living accommodations if needed.”

She just said she wanted to buy this street and somebody was already thinking of destroying it?

“Don’t speak as you’ve never asked for death,” Victor didn’t come here to fight. He came here to find out answers to his questions, “You almost killed Riley again.”

Dai An took a deep breath, ready to keep Victor’s mind busy with some gibberish again, “I told you I will give you Riley’s corpse if your hairstyling skills don’t improve, and you told me you will destroy my body if I try to do something to Riley again. Everyone is still alive, healthier than ever, and instead of wondering HOW is that possible, you keep asking me why I’m looking for death? I’m not looking for death, I’m looking for help, just accept that already.”
