Chapter 24: Velys’s plan…

Hikaru’s cold voice and actions just now made Delmor shiver.

In Delmor’s memories, even though Hikaru relied on his family background to bully others, he never got into a fight with anyone else.

Because Hikaru was a coward, when he got into a fight, he was the first to run away. That was also why Delmor dared to face Hikaru bravely like this.

But Delmor didn’t know that the Hikaru of today wasn’t the Hikaru of the past.

“You… Bleeding!” Not knowing who shouted, everyone in the cafe began to panic.

“Hurry up! Call the police.”

“Are not! Call an ambulance first!”

“Don’t let that bastard Hikaru run away!”

“That’s right, keep him, hand him over to the police.”

…

Looking at the crowd that seemed to want to tear Hikaru into a hundred pieces, Velys nervously stood up to protect him.

However, as soon as Velys stood up, Hikaru’s voice was filled with coldness: “You want to arrest me? Did you not think twice?”

The crowd in the cafe suddenly fell silent.

Hikaru sneered: “Hahahaha… You should remember who I am. I’m Hikaru, do you think you can put me in jail?”.

“You are wrong. Not only will you not be able to send me to prison, on the contrary, I will remember all the people sitting here.”

“You also have your own job and your own family. I think that you don’t want to become homeless and wander the streets because you were protecting someone who wanted to be a hero, right?”

The crowd couldn’t help but tremble, they felt like a cold wind blew down their spines.

That’s right, he was Hikaru, the son of the richest man in this city.

In this day and age, when you have a lot of money, you can do anything.

That’s why, after hearing the threats, the people sitting here began to feel fear.

Everyone had their own family and their own job. But if Hikaru wanted to, he could hire a few detectives to investigate and get all of their information.

Then… needless to say, he knew what Hikaru would do.

Everyone in the cafe suddenly became silent, then slowly paid and went out.

Yes, it was the first time they had met Delmor anyway, and although he was brave, no one wanted to get in trouble for someone they didn’t know.

Everyone in the cafe was brave enough to call the police to arrest Hikaru, but now they left like the wind.

Hikaru then shrugged and said, “Ah! Looks like… you failed as a hero.”

He pulled $1,000 from his pocket, then threw it on Delmor’s head. The bills were flying everywhere like fallen leaves in autumn.

“Take the money and go to the hospital yourself. Ah! You can ask that girl over there to take you to the hospital.” Hikaru said that while glancing at Rina.

Rina, who was standing in the distance, didn’t dare to move, she could only watch.

Hikaru now had a new piece of information about the main character. Although he couldn’t kill them, he could hurt them.

That’s right, when Hikaru smashed the vase on Delmor’s head, he didn’t have the intention of killing Delmor.

Maybe that’s why he succeeded.

If the main character is in danger of almost dying, it could turn the game upside down. But if he was only slightly injured and it did not affect his life, his protagonist’s aura would not activate.

[Ding! You successfully humiliated Delmor. Rina also doesn’t trust Delmor anymore, and Velys considers Delmor an enemy. You stole 2,000 luck points from Delmor.]

…

Name: Hikaru

Villain points: 6,200

Unused points: 5,000

Skill: Villain insight.

…

Name: Delmor

Lucky Point: 39,000

…

Name: Tadashi

Lucky points: 24,000

…

Hikaru saw the announcement in front of him and was overjoyed. He didn’t think that just a few small actions could steal so many lucky points from Delmor.

However, it was a pity that Hikaru was still unable to kill Delmor right now.

Hikaru realised that maybe this was the reason why the villains in the series often couldn’t kill the male lead right away. If things were simple, the male lead would have died in the first 10 chapters.

“Hikaru, are you okay?” Velys came to Hikaru’s side and held his hand, his face full of worry.

“No problem.”

“Did the shard of glass cut your hand?” Velys said that while checking Hikaru’s hand.

After checking and seeing that his hand was still normal with no injuries, Velys could breathe a sigh of relief.

“Next time, don’t do that.” Velys said.

Hikaru was about to refute her when she continued.

“If you want to hit someone, just tell me, and I will help you beat that person. Your hands should not touch dirty things.”

Hearing Velys speak, Delmor, who was clutching his head in pain, wanted to spit out another mouthful of blood.

He, of course, knew that she was saying he was dirty, and that someone like Hikaru couldn’t touch him.

Delmor was angry, he tried to raise his head, stared at Velys, and said, “Velys, I’m trying to help you.”

“Do I need your help?” Velys’ voice was filled with contempt.

“Velys, don’t let that bastard Hikaru fool you. He just wants to trick you, he’s not a good person.”

“Ah! So you’re a good friend?”

Delmor heard that and did not know how to respond. He wanted to say that he was a good and reliable person for Velys to rely on.

However, what he had done made him unable to say those things.

After that, Velys dragged Hikaru to leave, but before leaving, Hikaru did not forget to turn his head to look at Rina and Delmor.

He smiled and said, “You two are very compatible.”

Rina stood to the side. She wanted to say something, but then she realised that Velys and Hikaru had left.

At this moment, she felt as if she had just lost something very important.

Rina shook her head, trying to forget everything. She approached and helped Delmor up: “I’ll take you to first aid.”

Delmor was overjoyed to see Rina still by his side: “Rina, now only you are with me. Thank you. Later, I will definitely not forget you.”

Rina: “…”

…

Outside, Velys looked at Hikaru while walking, Hikaru looked ahead. The two of them walked together on the street.

Hikaru frowned and asked, “Why are you looking at me so much?”

“Hehehe… Hikaru, you’re really cool right now.”

“Cool? Don’t praise someone who just used his family’s power and money to intimidate other ordinary people.” Hikaru shrugged and said.

Velys shook his head: “No, I still think you’re cool. We are born unequal. So why can’t we use the resources we have?”

Hikaru smiled, he felt that Velys’ thinking was interesting but also very practical.

He said, “I am no longer Hodai’s son.”

“What?!” Velys was a little surprised and asked: “Why? You’re his sole heir, aren’t you?”

Hikaru nodded, but then shook his head again: “That’s right. But I gave up my inheritance for 300 million dollars.”

Velys frowned upon hearing that but then asked: “You mean… you knew the end of the world was coming, so you decided to give up your inheritance in exchange for 300 million dollars.”

“You want to use that $300 million to stock up on food and resources, right?”

Hikaru smiled: “You are very smart, Velys. That’s why I want you to help me.”

Velys immediately nodded without thinking: “Okay! I will help you. When the end of the world comes, I will be by your side.”

“I said…”

“I know! Even if I help you, you’re still not sure if you love me, right?” Velys smiled and said, “I don’t care.”

“As long as I have a chance to enter your heart, no matter how difficult it is, I will overcome it.”

“If the distance between me and you is 100 steps, then you don’t need to walk. As long as you stay still, I will take the remaining 100 steps.”

When Hikaru heard that, he took a deep breath. A bachelor for nearly 30 years like him was now hearing sweet words from a beautiful girl like this, and this made it hard for him to control.

Hikaru suddenly asked, “Velys, if you knew the end of the world was coming, what would you do?”

Velys lowered her head in thought, and both of them went to a small park and sat on a stone bench.

At this, Velys said: “I don’t know what kind of apocalypse you are talking about. Could it be… could you speak more clearly?”

Hikaru replied, “Hm… A rainstorm will cover the entire world. More than 90% of the world’s population, animals, and plants will turn into monsters, especially zombies.”

“The remaining 10% might still be alive, but they will also start to be attacked by zombies and monsters.”

“Food would be scarce, and the water in the springs would also be unusable because it has been poisoned.”

“Next, it would be the period known as the 2nd Ice Age. The temperature in countries near the equator would drop to minus 15 degrees. Everywhere else, the temperature would even drop to minus 50 degrees.”

When Velys heard that, she felt extremely scared: “It’s terrible. Does the earth want to destroy all living things above it?”

Hikaru shook his head and said, “The cause of the end of the world is probably not the will of the Earth. However, I can’t tell you for the time being.”

Velys shook her head: “No, that’s enough.”

“If that’s the case, then we need to stock up on food, however, what matters to us more are weapons.”

“Weapons?!” Hikaru heard that and became more interested.

Velys nodded and explained: “That’s right. We can stock up on as much food as possible right now. But you also said that the end of the world will have many monsters, right?”

“Because of that, I think we need weapons to defend ourselves and fight in the apocalypse.”

“Besides, we can identify food storages in the city. When the apocalypse comes, surely the law will also be broken.”

“By then, we can use weapons to steal food, that will be easier. Even a lot of food will not be enough. We also don’t know how long the apocalypse will last.”
