Hikaru frowned and asked, “How do you know?”

Laylah shrugged, “Of course Velys told me.”

Hikaru: “…”

It felt like Velys saw Laylah as her ally, no, more accurately, like a relative.

“What else did she tell you?”

“Hm… everything. About your hobbies, the things you like to eat, the kind of girls you like…etc.”

“Don’t talk about nonsense!” Hikaru felt a little impatient.

“Ah! Why are you so cold to me?” Laylah pouted, looking extremely pitiful.

“What did she tell you?” Hikaru didn’t care about Laylah’s expression, his sharp eyes stared at her like a falcon.

Although he was not as strong as Laylah, at least, if everything was revealed, he could leave this city and find another place to build a base.

However…

Damn it! He felt he had trusted Velys too much so he gave her a card containing 300 million dollars.

Laylah felt that Hikaru was starting to get angry, so she sighed and said: “Velys just told me about what are you doing and you are trying to store food, can you tell me why you did this?”

Hikaru’s eyes widened after hearing that, and he clenched his fists until they turned white.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Why is it so easy for even the person we trust the most to tell our secret to others?

In the novel, Velys would never betray Hikaru, even if Tadashi threatened her life, she would not reveal Hikaru’s location.

But now it was different, as she told Laylah everything he said.

Maybe Laylah had the aura of a main character, so doing anything was easy, and he was just a villain, so the people around him would easily betray him.

At this moment, Hikaru felt the injustice. In the novel, if Tadashi met anyone they would be loyal to him till death.

Also if Delmor just smiled at a girl, she would wash herself clean and lay on his bed.

What about Hikaru?

He Wriggled through the apocalypse with difficulty, with no one around except Velys. But Hikaru’s end was still death.

Now even Velys was revealing all of his information.

He felt angry… helpless… annoyed…

Every negative emotion seemed to be exploding inside his head.

Laylah also felt Hikaru’s feelings change, she immediately stood up and said: “Don’t blame Velys, because she…”

Before Laylah could finish speaking, her intuition suddenly warned that there was danger.

Right now, Laylah couldn’t understand where Hikaru had gotten the strangely shaped gun that he pointed directly at her.

Laylah was startled, she didn’t see Hikaru put his hand in his pocket. It was as if that gun had suddenly appeared in his hand.

But time did not allow Laylah to think much, Hikaru’s cold and murderous eyes were telling her that he would definitely open fire.

In that very small moment, Laylah immediately dodged to the side.

Bang!

Gunfire rang out. Hikaru really dared to open fire, the bullet flew out of the barrel, grazed Laylah’s hair and got stuck in the wall.

Hikaru was surprised, he didn’t think that in less than a tenth of a second, Laylah could dodge the bullet.

Is she relying on the main character’s aura?

Damn it! I don’t believe you can dodge forever.

Hikaru’s speed was also extremely fast, he immediately aimed at Laylah, and fired 3 consecutive shots.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But Laylah didn’t seem to be an ordinary person, as she easily dodged Hikaru’s bullets like the wind.

“What the hell?!” Hikaru was startled. Even though his power had evolved to (Tier F-), he still couldn’t face a bullet within 5 meters.

But Laylah was different, she easily dodged all of his bullets.

It must be known that Hikaru already possessed the gun mastery skill which was (Tier F-), and his ability was currently higher than that of the world-class snipers.

But at this moment, he began to doubt if the skill he received was real.

However, time did not allow him to think much. Seeing that Laylah was not hit, he immediately ran towards the door and ran.

Laylah saw Hikaru run away and ran after him. When he saw this he didn’t hesitate to point the gun at her and pull the trigger.

Bang!

Another bullet flew out, and Laylah immediately dodged the bullet but Hikaru also escaped.

Laylah sighed and mumbled, “Hazzz, I seem to have been too excited to say things I shouldn’t have said. Velys…am sorry.”

“But…” Laylah suddenly raised her hand, looked at it and said: “I didn’t think my strength could help me dodge those bullets.”

“Strangely, my body instinctively moved on its own to avoid them.”

“Could it be… Hikaru unwittingly helped me unlock the new potential of my body?”

“Hm… My boy… you make me more and more interested in you…”

… 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒆𝒕

Outside, Hikaru didn’t care about Laylah’s thoughts, he hurriedly ran out of the hotel.

When he got outside, and saw that no one was chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he recalled what he had done earlier, and he felt that he had gone mad.

For a small moment, he seemed to have lost control, in his head he just wanted to kill Laylah.

[Master, it’s because of Laylah’s protagonist aura.]

“What?!”

[Because her luck points are too high, and it overwhelms your villain points many times over. That is why, when you are near her, you will be fooled by her aura.]

Hikaru: “…”

“You mean… Laylah’s protagonist’s aura caused my IQ to drop?”

[No, I mean her protagonist’s aura makes you stupid. Being Stupid means that everything like IQ, EQ, or anything else goes down as well.]

[That’s why you acted so foolishly.]

[Besides… she’s not strong enough to even dodge bullets in such close range. It’s thanks to the protagonist’s aura that you can’t kill her because her luck is higher than yours.]

[Conversely… if you had stayed there longer than a few seconds, you would have probably died.]

Hikaru shivered when he heard that.

Before, he had also heard that the protagonist’s aura could reduce the intelligence of those around him.

But this was the first time he had experienced it. For a small moment, he suddenly lost control.

At that time, the only thought in his mind was that he had to kill Laylah.

But after leaving the hotel, to be more precise, after getting away from Laylah, he suddenly started thinking normally, and his mind also calmed down.

Hikaru sighed, he knew now that he and Laylah had become enemies. She would definitely find a way to catch him and publish the evidence she had in her possession.

He also did not blame Velys, after regaining his composure, he knew that Velys certainly could not resist Laylah’s protagonist aura.

Even though Hikaru possessed more than 18,000 villain points, he couldn’t keep his mind clear when standing in front of her, so Velys certainly couldn’t.

He sighed, then took a Taxi to find Brevil…

Yes, as far as he remembered from the novel “Apocalypse: I own the Panara Box”, Brevel had a weapon that could help him survive the apocalypse.

It could be said that it was also Brevil’s Destiny Item. If the weapon evolution card could only be used on rudimentary weapons, then Brevil’s weapon is the best choice.

…

In the hotel bedroom, after Hikaru left, Laylah searched for the bullet holes that Hikaru had shot, then collected them all and carried them with her.

“Ah… Hikaru, you have to thank me, thanks to me your possession of a gun would go unnoticed.”

“Luckily there weren’t any other guests here, or the gunfire would have made things more chaotic.”

Laylah mumbled while looking at the 5 bullets in the plastic bag. Her face showed neither fear nor anger, only excitement.

…

Elsewhere, Saronk, who was carrying some flowers and a fruit basket, entered Tadashi’s private room with Hodai.

At this point, we can clearly see Saronk’s face. He was a middle-aged man, about 45 years old, and his hair was neatly combed back.

His square face had a beard, and a friendly smile was always on his face.

“Haizzz, you can just call me, you don’t have to come here. You are so busy that you still take the time to visit Tadashi, I feel guilty.”

“Hahaha… Hodai, you and I have been friends for such a long time, you don’t have to be so hard on me. Your son, Tadashi, your current sole heir, has a problem, so me visiting is quite normal.”

Hearing that, Hodai nodded.

Tadashi was lying on the hospital bed trying to eat some hot porridge. Seeing Hodai and Saronk enter, he hurriedly handed the bowl of porridge to the servant, and tried to stand up.

“Ah! Tadashi, today a distinguished guest came to visit you…” Hodai said happily.

“Okay, Tadashi you are still tired, so you don’t need to get up, you can just lie on the bed.” Saronk laughed, then placed the fruit basket and flower bouquet on the table.

“You and Tadashi should talk slowly, I have some work to do, so I need to go out.”

Hodai knew it was time for Tadashi to get acquainted with Saronk. After all, Tadashi would inherit his companies and his companies could run smoothly thanks to Saronk.

Besides… he really had work to do so he needed to leave. After Hodai left, the servants in the room quickly left, leaving Tadashi and Saronk alone.

Tadashi also knows who Saronk is, after all he is the mayor of this city, so everyone is aware of him.

“Mr. Saronk…” Tadashi bowed to Saronk.

Saronk smiled and said: “You don’t need to be too strict, me and your father are both close friends, I also consider you as a member of my family.”

Tadashi heard that and smiled, he felt very happy in his heart.

“Tadashi, you are also an intelligent person. I came to visit you today, and I have another matter to ask of you.”

“Other matter?” Tadashi was a bit surprised: “Saronk, you should just say it, if I can do it, I’ll try to help you.”

“Since I have your word, I can be rest assured. The issue this time is related to Hikaru…”

Tadashi: “?!?!!”
