I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 346

Chapter 52: Stay Away from My Knight

Leanna rested her chin on her hands as she gazed at Roy, saying with a hint of meaning, “If I had to put it into words, I’d say there’s a mutual attraction, right?”

Roy deliberately avoided the charming purple gaze of Leanna, correcting her, “I’d rather call it a mutual requirement.”

Leanna needed his power as the False King, while he needed her grasp of the Certificate of Kingship; it was merely a pragmatic partnership.

Seeing that the Black-Haired Boy was unfazed by the witch’s allure, Jason finally let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed these two weren’t in that kind of relationship.

He certainly didn’t want to see the guy who defeated him turn into the witch’s plaything.

“I know this may sound like instigation, but I still have to remind you to be careful of the witch.”

“The cruel and heartless black wizard isn’t trustworthy at all. No matter what agreement you reach, she’s just using you, and if danger truly arises, she’ll betray you without hesitation!”

Leanna’s expression darkened slightly, scoffing, “That’s a bit too crude for instigation, don’t you think?”

But just then, the Black-Haired Boy calmly countered, “So what?”

“So…”

“I know the rumors about black wizards. It’s said they have to fight ferocious beasts and even their own kin since childhood, and they consume Magic Potions from the Demon Race, thus becoming cold-blooded and ruthless.”

Roy knew all too well that these rumors were true.

The original story mentioned more than once that Leanna had done many dark things to get this far on the path of the black wizard.

The nearby Girl listened, seemingly indifferent, as if already used to it.

Jason couldn’t help but ask, “Then why are you teaming up with her?”

“But I don’t care.”

Jason stood frozen in place.

Leanna’s pupils slightly contracted, a trace of surprise flickering in her eyes.

“We’re only collaborating temporarily; how could there be everlasting trust?” Roy glanced at Leanna. “At least she’s not my enemy right now, and that’s enough.”

“Besides, I’ve said it before, our business doesn’t need a senior to worry about.” Roy patted Jason’s shoulder a bit too forcefully, saying earnestly, “The South Sea faction is seriously weakened, so students should focus on their own matters first.”

Faced with the Young Boy’s advice, this time Jason was left speechless.

After sealing the contract, Roy and Leanna walked side by side outside the South Sea Mansion.

The first light of dawn began to rise, dispelling the last of the night’s shadows, and in the damp morning breeze, the brown-haired Girl teased softly.

“How considerate of you! I didn’t expect my junior to stand up for me. I’m so touched.”

Roy rolled his eyes, “Just speaking the truth.”

“Moreover, since we’re allies, it’s not like I can let outsiders sow discord between us.”

Leanna raised an eyebrow, looking quite pleased, “So you mean I’m your inner circle?”

Roy froze, quickly coughing twice, and seriously replied, “Just an ally.”

“Just an ally, huh?” Leanna’s head drooped slightly, looking like a neglected little snake, which was oddly cute.

But in Roy’s eyes, it was just the witch’s ploy to charm people.

Roy wouldn’t blindly trust Jason or see him as an enemy, but he also wouldn’t fall for Leanna’s charm. After all, she was just a temporary partner.

He extended his hand toward Leanna, “Time to return my stuff.”

“Do I really have to give it back? It’s rare for my junior to gift me something,” Leanna teased, opening her hands playfully, “Isn’t it a bit ungentlemanly to take back gifts from a lady?”

Roy’s mouth twitched, fuming, “Hey, I only lent it to you, I never said it was a gift!”

“Alright, alright.”

Leanna responded in a tone like she was coaxing a child, then took the Titan’s Hand from her storage item.

This left Roy dumbfounded.

Because the once-ancient wand was now snapped in half.

“What happened?!”

Under Roy’s menacing stare, Leanna sighed, “I couldn’t help it; this thing has limited durability.”

“Come on, you’re only Sequence 7! How could it not withstand that?”

“It’s not me; it’s the Howling Sea Guard. The wand and the summon are one entity, clashing head-on with the magic power of Sequence 6 is quite a strain on it,” Leanna changed her tone, gently adding, “But don’t worry, the core of the wand isn’t damaged; it can still be repaired.”

Hearing Leanna say that, Roy finally relaxed, taking back the broken wand.

After all, it was merely a prize he collected along the way, and it had already served its purpose, so he didn’t feel too pained. As for Jason’s Howling Sea Guard, it was completely wrecked, beyond repair, and he was bound to face a lot of backlash from the South Sea Kingdom.

Thinking of that, Roy felt a little better.

“By the way, I didn’t expect my junior to secretly hoard such a high-level Cult item; you’re really good at hiding things,” Leanna squinted her eyes, her tone filled with intrigue.

To this, Roy only coolly replied, “Even as allies, prying too much into someone’s affairs isn’t very polite.”

Leanna didn’t take it to heart, “True, then let’s talk about some ally matters.”

The brown-haired witch stepped closer, gently pressing on the Young Boy’s shoulder, whispering in his ear, “With this help you’re getting to deal with the South Sea faction, how do you plan to repay me?”

Nothing comes for free in this world, especially not from a witch needing favors.

Although Roy didn’t harbor animosity towards Leanna like Jason, he wasn’t naive enough to think she would help him for nothing.

Roy pulled away from Leanna, “I know, regarding the territory and compensation, I will discuss it with Charlotte.”

But Leanna let out a sorrowful sigh as if deeply disappointed.

“Too bad I’m not interested in those.”

“Huh?”

“I want you.”

Leanna stepped forward again, forcing Roy to instinctively back away until he hit the door of the South Sea Mansion.

The Girl was smiling, but her eyes gleamed with a hunter’s intent, “Just like I said before, join the Student Council.”

“This…”

Roy immediately felt a headache coming.

This girl was dead set on poaching him!

He initially thought to use the South Sea faction as an excuse to refuse, but who would’ve thought the South Sea faction would fall apart so quickly? Now he didn’t even have a reason to say no!

“The girl has already done so much for you, can’t my junior at least fulfill this little wish?” Leanna wiped away nonexistent tears with a look of mournfulness, resembling a pitiful girl played with by a nasty boy.

Seeing Leanna’s exaggerated performance, Roy’s face turned black.

However, he did owe her a big favor this time.

Without the black magic faction’s intervention, the dispute between the Lionheart and the South Sea would continue for a while, not to mention Leanna had actively helped him deal with the Howling Sea Guard.

If he were to repay that favor, joining the Student Council wasn’t out of the question…

Through the gaps in his fingers, seeing the Young Boy’s gaze wavering more and more, Leanna couldn’t help but secretly smile.

Sure enough, compared to the temptation of profit, friendship could move this guy more!

But just then, a muffled voice came from behind.

“Witch, could you please stay away from my knight?”
