Chapter 270: The Basic Etiquette of a Scumbag
Chapter 270: The Basic Etiquette of a Scumbag
As Yecheng hesitated, Kreaya slowly drew the sword from her waist.
"Yecheng, have you decided how you want to die?"
In the two years they hadn't seen each other, Kreaya's magic had evidently grown stronger.
But it was clear that this wasn't the time for Yecheng to focus on that, as he realized the reason for Kreaya's sudden burst of magic was to enhance her physical body.
This didn't seem like a joke at all, but rather, after two years of separation, they were ready to get serious right from the start of their reunion!
"Kreaya, this is all a misunderstanding. Look at all the packages I'm carrying. How could I possibly go to the place you're imagining?
Sida mentioned a place with young and beautiful ladies, and it's the famous Tetra Cross Merchant Guild in the capital city!"
"Swish———"
The sharp longsword was held firmly in Yecheng's palms using the Palm Blade Technique, and he could feel Kreaya's deadly intent, which was no joke. Yecheng quickly explained, "I went to the Tetra Cross Merchant Guild, and everything here has their label on it. That much can't be wrong.
As Yecheng explained, he silently cursed Sida and his family. To be fair, Yecheng had taken Sida to the Tetra Cross Merchant Guild, but Sida was the real mastermind there... er, the real Madam.
If anyone had been corrupted, it should've been Yecheng, but now he was the one taking the blame!
"Tetra Cross Merchant Guild? Where did you buy these things?" Kreaya still eyed Yecheng's purchases suspiciously.
"Of course, we waited in line for a long time. All these items have the guild's label, so there's no mistake.
And the reason I didn't come to find you immediately after arriving at Midgar Mage Knight Academy is that I wanted to buy you a gift first and give you a surprise, right?"
Yecheng, in his desperate situation, was now fully driven by the will to survive, and his intelligence seemed to surge.
Seeing Kreaya's stunned expression, he quickly took out a beautifully crafted red scarf from the items he had just bought from the Tetra Cross Merchant Guild.
"So, you went to the Tetra Cross Merchant Guild to buy me a gift?"
Looking at the exquisitely packaged red scarf in her hand, Kreaya's previous anger vanished, replaced by a shy and flustered demeanor like a young girl.
Seeing Kreaya's reaction, Yecheng realized his gamble had paid off, and he quickly kicked the other daily necessities on the ground aside.
"Of course, I lined up early this morning at the Tetra Cross Merchant Guild.
You know how popular their products are in the capital city, right? It's not easy to get your hands on their limited editions, especially this scarf. It's made with the finest materials and craftsmanship. I spent my entire month's allowance on it.
And after seeing my sincerity, you still did what you did to me. It truly breaks my heart!"
As expected, Kreaya's expression turned even more guilty after witnessing Yecheng's heartfelt performance, and even the proud her began to repeatedly apologize with her head lowered.
Sida, who had slipped away but hadn't completely left, choosing to hide his presence and aura to watch the scene, was stunned.
"How can he talk his way out of this?! Yecheng not only looks like a scumbag, but his very essence is that of a scumbag!"
The scarf in Kreaya's hand was indeed a limited edition from the Tetra Cross Merchant Guild, but was it meant for her?
Sheid remembered it clearly. Yecheng had his eyes set on that silk scarf simply because it was expensive, and with the intention of fleecing him, he had Nu help him pack it up and take it away.
"Yecheng, I'm truly sorry. I never expected that instead of coming to me, you went to prepare a surprise for me, and I..."
"No need to say more, Kreaya. I'm very upset right now, so for a while, it's best you don't look for me. I just want some peace and quiet."
Night City left with the packages on the ground, leaving behind a carefree silhouette.
As for Sheid, hiding in the shadows, he was stunned upon hearing Night City's words.
He had planned to backstab Night City to vent his frustration from being fleeced, but he never expected that Night City was such a good actor. Now all the pressure was on him!
"Sheid—!"
Watching Night City leave with a dejected expression, Kreaya, who remained at the scene, first felt a surge of self-blame, and then, filled with anger, she called out Sheid's name.
Hiding in the bushes, Sheid shuddered at the sight of his sister's overflowing anger.
He decided he couldn't return to his dormitory for a while, or else he might be torn apart by Kreaya if he ran into her. That bastard Night City had gone too far. While he had emptied his pockets and carefully prepared gifts, Sheid had become heartless and even blamed others. If the roles were reversed and he were Kreaya, he would definitely seek revenge at this moment.
"Damn it, I'll go find that bastard and settle the score. With what just happened, Sister won't be bothering Night City for a while.
In other words, Night City's dormitory is absolutely the safest place right now."
There was no way he could return to his own dormitory, and Sheid was afraid Kreaya might be staking out his place.
Sleeping on the streets was out of the question, and skipping school so soon after enrollment was impossible too. So after much thought, Sheid could only think of one place to go.
"Hey, isn't this our classmate Sheid? Why are you sneaking around at night instead of using the front door? What are you doing climbing into my window?
I thought you were some thief or suspicious character, and I was about to draw my sword. I never expected it to be my 'dear friend'!"
Hearing Night City's sarcastic tone, Sheid, who had skillfully climbed through the window, glared at him, "Do you think it's thanks to whom?
I just sneaked back to the dormitory and took a look. Sister is still staking out my dormitory door."
"This is not my fault. We could have shared Kreaya's anger together.
But since you wanted to backstab me, I can't blame you for not being a true fellow Daoist."
Night City felt no sympathy for Sheid's predicament, believing he deserved it.
Furthermore, he was grateful that he had been greedy for money earlier and packed away that silk scarf. Otherwise, he might be the one unable to return to the dormitory instead of Sheid.
