I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 678

Chapter 59: Alice Discovers a Blind Spot

“Chameleon.”

An assassin of Sequence 5, one of the seven wanted criminals in Academy City, a notorious killer in the underworld.

No one knows his true appearance; it’s said he changes his face with each mission.

The only ones who have seen him are the dead.

Although he is one of the seven wanted criminals of Academy City, he has been frequently crossing back and forth between the eastern and western continents this year, accumulating several names of Sequence 5 under him.

His most famous feat was attacking a high-level Extraordinary Being and managing to return alive.

Even Levi couldn’t help but admire his professional skills and, through introductions, spent a fortune just to meet the “Chameleon.”

This blood-tipped knife-wielding assassin, renowned on both continents, was indeed the best candidate to eliminate Alice!

However, upon hearing this, Chameleon’s face beneath his hood was hard to read.

“Sir, please don’t joke with me!”

Levi furrowed his brows, “I can pay more!”

“It’s not about the money.”

“The Saint is pre-ranked first, a legendary angel blessed by the goddess. To deal with such a person, even if you had several lives, it wouldn’t be enough!”

People love to misunderstand things and exaggerate.

Any reasonably smart person knows that anyone below high-level is like ants; you simply can’t touch them.

And Chameleon’s mind is quite normal.

That day, he merely happened to clash with the high-level Extraordinary Being without realizing their existence; fortunately, the other party showed him no interest, allowing him to escape with his life.

All that talk about blood and blades is just nonsense; we’re all just trying to make a living here—don’t treat me like cannon fodder!

“If you’re worried about retaliation, you don’t have to. I promise you protection after the job is done.”

Levi casually tossed out a silver cross.

Chameleon flashed to catch it, and when he looked closely, he was immediately alarmed.

It was a mithril cross blessed by the Holy Light, indicating that the other party was a big shot from the church!

No wonder he wanted to make a move on Alice; he must carry some grudge from a Saint candidate in the Eastern Continent…

“If you succeed, I will not only protect you but will owe you a favor. Besides, assassinating the pre-selected Saint has enough weight to make you a living legend. The risk is not small, but the rewards are equally rich.”

Despite Levi’s slight annoyance, he used the phrase “pre-selected Saint” to bait him.

These weak assassins yearn not just for money, but for the protection of powerful forces.

If they can connect with the Holy Light Church, it’s undoubtedly a huge advantage for survival.

Moreover, since the man came knocking, he had already fallen into a dilemma.

Either help this guy connected to the Eastern Continent Church or assist Alice, who represents the White Harbor Church.

Even a fool knows how to choose.

After a moment of silence, Chameleon couldn’t suppress his temptation, “I’ll do it.”

————————

Today, Alice found herself unusually relaxed.

Though she had to meet representatives from various factions, the ones she was meeting today were her closest friends, basically sisters. They gathered in the church garden, sipping afternoon tea, the atmosphere laid-back without the pressure of meeting outsiders.

Until Charlotte popped the question.

“I’m not really that concerned, but just to ask anyway.”

Charlotte put down her teacup, curious, “What’s the progress between you and Roy?”

Nia, Leanna, and Xue Nuo perked up their ears, eagerly awaiting.

Holding hands, , getting naked? Or have you crossed the threshold into adult territory?!

Seeing Alice lower her head, looking a bit shy, the girls felt excited yet anxious, their feelings quite complex.

They worried about their sister not doing well and feared her getting too carried away.

Though they didn’t oppose Alice and Roy’s relationship, if they really took it to that level, they couldn’t handle it.

“We, uh, have done quite a lot, you know?”

Done quite a lot?!

Nia’s face turned bright red with excitement, while Leanna bit her teeth in mild bitterness, and Xue Nuo pretended to be calm, but the hand holding her teacup trembled.

Charlotte took a deep breath, involuntarily serious, “Specifically?”

Alice’s face lit up, even a bit proud, “We sleep together every day! Master helps me scratch my head and massage my feet, and oh, sometimes he even touches my face…”

The blonde girl was sweetly recounting these recent intimate moments, her expression extremely gentle, practically bubbling with joy.

Even her twin tails swayed gently, resembling a golden retriever’s tail.

In the garden, amidst the birds chirping and flowers blooming, the girls fell into silence, as if frozen by a chill.

Is this it?

Just because you sleep together every day, this is the only progress?

Scratches and massages were things they did before too, right?!

So after all those days, the only advancement was him touching your face?!

Even the most conservative Charlotte and Xue Nuo felt their eyes darkening, realizing this girl was beyond help.

The key is, she seems thrilled about it!

Silly child, it’s fortunate we’re kind-hearted; otherwise, in a palace drama, your role is more like the background character who eats leftovers and ends up getting offed by everyone else without a hot meal!

The key is, with this snail’s pace progress, she’s actually happy!

Nia finally couldn’t take it anymore, slamming her hand on the table, bursting out, “Little Alice!”

“Is there a chance you’re actually in a relationship?!”

“You can’t just let Roy stick to you; with so many rare alone opportunities, why don’t you just A him up!”

Upon hearing this, Alice froze for a moment, her big eyes blinking, revealing pure cluelessness.

“Alice doesn’t really understand romance…”

Even now, Alice still only half-knows about love.

What one learns from books often feels shallow; Alice thinks many story tropes can’t be replicated in reality.

Even Charlotte couldn’t help but nudge her, “You need to chase him! Stick to him! Cling to him! Do whatever you want that you’ve been hesitating about; just go for it!”

Wanting to do something but being hesitant?

Alice’s first thought was to cling, sniff, and peck at Roy.

Just like how she acted with his clothes privately.

Just thinking about it made her face steam up.

“N-no, as a maid, how could I be disrespectful to my master… doing something like that would surely make my master dislike me!”

“I really don’t understand love…”

Alice hung her head, sighing in guilt.

Seeing the little maid so lost, the girls exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus.

This girl is great in every way, just lacking confidence and a bit silly.

At this rate, even sleeping for a hundred days wouldn’t lead to any progress!

“I really can’t help you.”

Charlotte sighed, then lifted her head, patting her flat chest proudly, “Since that’s the case, let us, your seniors, teach you how to win over Roy’s heart and mind!”

Alice raised her head, her eyes reflecting admiration, remembering how the girls in front of her had successfully progressed with Roy way beyond her reach.

It seemed there had been similar situations before.

In love, they surely understand more than she does!

Sitting up straight, Alice humbly said, “I’m eager to hear the details!”

Nia cupped Alice’s soft little face, teasingly scrunching it while giggling, “First, you are no longer just a maid; you are a pre-selected Saint! Just this identity is on par with royalty, so you can afford to be a little bolder!”

With her face squished all soft and flat, Alice froze for a moment, finally realizing her blind spot.

Right, she’s getting closer to the Saint position, more and more worthy of her master.

Just like Nia said, it’s perfectly reasonable to do things that go beyond what a maid should do…
