The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

���������������

As there was no way to make sure he would remain alive long enough for her to finish her last mission if left as he was, Emilia naturally couldn't leave Amos in the hands of Ginny and Jasper.

With the grudge that the twins now sported against the boy, it wouldn't be strange if they drained him dry of every drop of blood in his body, and only a fool would expect them to get Amos the medical attention he needed to survive.

Of course, Emilia could just give him a drop of her blood or instruct the twins to keep him alive with her 'real identity', but that would involve revealing her 'involvement' and 'special interest' in Amos to outsiders, which would just be troublesome.

Needless to say, even if they hadn't yet discovered his real identity, Emilia wasn't stupid enough to believe they wouldn't be able to dig it up if she left the boy with them.

Emilia could feel a headache coming her way just from imagining how much trouble she would have to go through to protect someone she really didn't want to if that happened.

After all, her little girlfriends might not try to tear each other's hair off very often, but when it came to Amos Black, they all seemed to have an especially short fuse.

They couldn't tolerate the silver-haired boy's existence when they were powerless to do anything about it, and now that they had grown up and become so much more capable... Emilia shuddered to imagine the hero's fate if he fell into their hands.

If they knew that she 'touched' him again -- even if it was only a kick to his now crushed balls -- perhaps the silver-haired boy would suffer a misfortune that would make his previous agony seem pleasant instead.

Of course, her cute little girlfriends weren't all good at that type of thing, but Emilia was well aware of just how proficient her 'maid' had become at making someone beg for the sweet embrace of death.

With Crystal's ability, was it possible for the rest of her little girlfriends to remain unaware for long?

Resourceful as they were, they would definitely make good use of such skill when they needed it, and Emilia couldn't risk Amos biting his tongue off in desperation if his pride was trampled too much.

Luckily, since the twins had no idea about the real identity of the silver-haired boy, it didn't take Emilia much effort to convince them.

Emilia flicked her long crimson locks habitually with a confident smile. "Leave this guy to us. Don't worry, we can definitely dig out the real puppeteer behind this whole thing within three days at most."

Unfortunately, since she was in Penny's form, what she really flicked was the ultra-long ponytail that smacked Ginny's face like a heavy rope, leaving the girl even more dumbfounded than she already was.

"..."

Jasper coughed. "I-I guess we'll leave it to you, then."

Although Emilia was a little embarrassed, she decided that since she was currently 'Penny', there was nothing wrong with being a little shameless. "By the way, the doctor has to come too."

Seeing his face turn pale, she gave him a 'reassuring' look. "Don't worry, nothing will happen... if you're obedient."

Maybe it would have worked had Emilia been in her original form, but with Penny's face, her reassuring smile looked more like a mischievous smirk, which almost scared the poor doctor to pee.

Had he not witnessed the petite blonde disable the silver-haired boy as he had, he would definitely have scolded 'Penny' for being disobedient and unruly.

For someone who looked like they should still be in school, was that any way to talk to adults?!

Unfortunately, after watching the miserable ending of his 'assistant', the man simply didn't dare to squeak in front of this little devil. Not to mention, the current situation was a bit too dire for him to dare take any warnings lightly.

Maybe if he was careless, he might really die without even knowing how.historical

Who could have imagined he would get involved in an assassination attempt of such high-profile people?

'As long as I can get out of this alive, I swear never to involve myself with the rich again! No, in fact, I'll definitely donate fifteen percent of my life savings to the poor and needy, and use the rest to live a secluded life on a private island!' The man nodded to himself.

Needless to say, he'd saved up quite a bit over the years.

Although she couldn't read the doctor's stray thoughts, Ginny still gave the man a warning look after deciding not to mind Penny's actions for now.

Not to mention that she was sent by Emilia and had protected the two of them from the assassination just now, the mere fact that she could help them discover the 'real mastermind' so quickly was enough reason for her to acquiesce to all of the girl's demands.

After all, even if she were to be temporarily satisfied by tearing the disgusting puppet to shreds, wouldn't there always be a sword hanging above their heads if they failed to discover the dark hand in the shadows?

It didn't take Emilia long after getting in touch with Noelle to arrange for Amos and the doctor to be transferred to one of their more trusted safe houses in Carmen, and after reassuring Ginny one final time, she finally headed back to the hotel where Penny and her manager were probably still waiting for her.

"So what're you going to do with Amos now?"

Although Cynthia's tone was more curious than reprimanding, Emilia still felt a little depressed when she thought about it. 'I was a little overconfident in handling him before. Even if I sent him so many 'goons', I failed to think that he would still take action himself like this. I won't be so stupid now.'

Cynthia coughed awkwardly, not feeling very comfortable with her usually confident villainess being so 'self-deprecating'. "W-Well, I wouldn't say you were stupid. If anything, you just weren't able to imagine that he would be able to actually do anything without the 'help' you sent his way now that he's lost the support of Black Tiger. Which I believe no one can blame you for, given his previous record of incompetency."

Her partner's words finally seemed to cheer Emilia up as she giggled. "My adorable little Cynthia trying to comfort me? I feel like even if I acted a little stupid before, it might have been worth it just for this moment!"

The raven-haired girl couldn't help but pout. "Can you not make fun of me every time you get the chance?!"
