Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim - Chapter 151
Chapter 151.
The Same Action, Different Impressions (46)
It’s worth noting that this was Noah’s first time witnessing Valentina make a counterattack, which perfectly demonstrated the success of Noah’s training in demonic corruption.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to reach this level.
She must have put in quite a bit of effort behind the scenes, just to show him a little color.
Now that the princess had so clearly ‘declared war,’ it wouldn’t be good to avoid facing it head-on.
With that thought, a smile involuntarily appeared on Noah’s face.
…By the way, was that shop assistant planning to call the police? He was just smiling a bit mischievously, was it really necessary to react like this?
He wasn’t a suspicious character, just a wicked god.
Since the shop assistant had been looking at Noah with fear and caution, he deliberately raised his milk tea cup and toasted her from a distance.
Perhaps it was because Noah’s smile was too enthusiastic; in any case, the shop assistant clearly showed an expression even more frightened than before, her body even starting to tremble slightly.
“Hey, kid, what’s your relationship with the lady who was sitting here just now?”
Oh, well, it seemed that it wasn’t Noah’s overly enthusiastic smile, but rather the intimidating presence of the muscle-bound man standing next to him that was the real issue.
He was a man in his thirties, dressed like an adventurer, standing about six feet tall, with clearly defined muscles and a frightening appearance—definitely someone who could eat children for breakfast.
Compared to him, Noah felt he could almost be considered a graceful young man.
Though he was neither beautiful nor young.
“Lady? Sorry, I don’t know any lady. How about this: if you’re free, would you like to have a drink? It’s on me.”
Noah didn’t even look directly at the adventurer radiating hostility beside him; he simply sipped his milk tea casually, even inviting the man to sit down.
“Don’t change the subject, kid! What the hell are you drinking? I’m not letting you drink…?!”
The adventurer, feeling belittled, clearly had no intention of letting Noah treat him, even worrying that Noah might drink too much and get diabetes, wanting to knock over his milk tea.
He really, Noah was dying of laughter.
But since Noah was someone who disliked waste, he didn’t let the well-meaning adventurer succeed.
In the shocked gaze of the shop assistant, Noah continued to leisurely sip his milk tea as if he couldn’t see the adventurer beside him at all.
The adventurer was left staring at his clearly empty hand.
Although the adventurer immediately tried to knock over Noah’s cup again, both Noah and the cup in his hand seemed to be untouchable, with every attempt resulting in the adventurer’s attacks missing their mark.
“Defensive magic?! When did this happen?!”
This was one of Noah’s abilities as a wicked god, but it didn’t stop the adventurer from interpreting it as magic.
After several failed attempts, the adventurer finally realized he couldn’t target Noah and was clearly furious, his face turning red with anger.
“Who knows? When exactly did it happen?”
However, in contrast, Noah leisurely sipped his milk tea, appearing quite indifferent.
What he wanted to say was that this was actually his true nature; his annoying behavior was merely a necessity, not because he was inherently a savage and brutish person.
Look, even when faced with someone looking for trouble, he could remain calm and composed, without resorting to grabbing the other’s throat and lifting them off the ground.
“Ugh!?”
But at that moment, the nearby shop assistant let out a terrified sound, having never encountered such a frightening person.
To be honest, this shop assistant was not Noah’s type, but he couldn’t stand seeing the villain bully the honest.
So, while sipping his milk tea, he casually threw a punch at the chin of the adventurer who was recklessly lunging at him.
“Uh!?”
As if a giant dragon had stomped on his chin, the adventurer flew out and collapsed in the middle of the road, convulsing in a pitiful manner.
“Ah…”
With the terrifying adventurer losing consciousness, the shop assistant let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, no extra losses for the shop, that’s just wonderful…
“Alright, I’ve finished my milk tea, I’ll leave the money here, okay, not-so-reliable shop assistant.”
And at that moment, what reached her ears was Noah’s slightly sarcastic voice.
— Not-so-reliable is unnecessary, alright! This customer!
Although the shop assistant didn’t voice it, her expression clearly conveyed her dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfaction aside, she still had to collect the money, so she took the initiative to walk over to Noah.
However, to her surprise, Noah didn’t wait for her to settle the bill; instead, he placed a whole gold coin on the table and intended to leave.
“T-That, sir, your change!”
Not thinking much of it, she called out to Noah, who was about to leave.
“No need, consider it a thank-you gift for brewing this cup of milk tea for the shop owner, and a donation to you, shop assistant. When you grow up enough to stand on your own, you can throw the change you owe me right back in my face.”
Noah didn’t turn around; he simply waved his hand at her while continuing to walk away.
That carefree and pretentious demeanor was truly infuriating.
She knew Noah was actually encouraging her; he should be considered a seemingly dangerous good person, but the way he expressed it was really annoying.
By the way, I’m the one who brewed that cup of milk tea, okay…
Watching the young man’s figure gradually fade away, the shop assistant felt a mix of emotions.
If that elegant young lady in the black dress was a goddess, then this guy was definitely a wicked god!
Even though he left a tip, the feelings he left behind were completely different!
He looked quite cool when he casually defeated that troublemaking adventurer!
—
The rather dissatisfied shop assistant pouted and angrily took away the cup that Noah had finished drinking from.
As for why Noah didn’t just pretend to be a likable good person from start to finish?
Well, that’s because Noah was different from Clyde, the unfortunate soul who was nice to everyone. He did good deeds simply to satisfy himself; being misunderstood as a good person would be troublesome.
After all, he still wanted to play along, ensuring that the counterfeit created by Her Highness the Princess wouldn’t raise any suspicions from others.
You like playing the stand-in, huh? Then Noah would make this stand-in the real Princess.
Let’s see if Valentina can still manage to smile then!
Just thinking about Valentina looking at him with a face full of disgust made Noah’s sadistic tendencies, honed by her, stir with excitement; it was a bit thrilling to think about!
Like Valentina in disguise before, Noah also maintained a mysterious smile as he disappeared at the end of the street.
As for the adventurer whom Noah had casually knocked out, he also vanished without a trace.
“…You really are an idiot. Luckily, you didn’t expose Her Highness’s whereabouts. Who does things like this? You should at least wait for him to catch up to Her Highness before acting, right? …Though even then, I doubt it would help.”
At that moment, in a nearby alley, Marlow’s voice, filled with exasperation, could be heard.
Marlow looked down at the adventurer still unconscious at his feet and let out a heavy sigh.
This foolish subordinate almost ruined Her Highness’s plans.
If he hadn’t been lurking nearby, this idiot, who was supposed to be the disguised bodyguard of the Princess, would have been caught by patrolling guards as a troublemaking adventurer!
……
……
PS. This is the fourth update of the day; we’ll continue tomorrow.
(Theoretically, as an evil god, Noah shouldn’t fail, so for Her Highness to win, she can only rely on equal divine power. Readers can look forward to how Noah ends up being schemed against. As for the overdue chapters, there are still 46 to catch up on, but don’t worry, it will definitely be settled within this month!)
