17 Ch 17 : Hero saving the beauty (?)

The voice came from an unruly-looking youth with several other burly youngsters on his side. They look a little bit drunk and have a vicious smile on their faces.

Cold sweats started to drip from Emi's forehead as she heard those unscrupulous words. Her face paled and terrifying thoughts filled her mind. She knows the severity of the situation this time.

If it was only 1 or 2 people, they might be able to run away. But ahead of her were more than 5 burly-looking youngsters, they have no chance to run nor fight back.

Different from what Emi thought, Skye was pretty elated in this situation. He knows that those 5 or 6 tipsy youngsters would pose no threat to him.

With enhanced perception combine with extraordinary physical strength, it would be an easy cake for him. Furthermore, this could be his chance to grab the goddess's heart, he just needs to play his part well.

" Scram if you didn't want to get hurt."

Skye's tone was full of arrogance, and it only irritates them more. Without waiting any further, those youth ganged up on Skye and launched their moves at him.

*Boom* *Plak* *Scream* *Splash* *Squeak* *Jeder*

.

Just a few breaths away, the incident was quickly solved. It proceeds as he expected. Skye easily trashes away those youngsters and drives them away.

With them being on the losing ends, the group of youth used the last part of the cliche setting. Before they scram away from the place, they threaten Skye for intervening in their business and swear they would get their payback one day.

.

On the other hand, Skye was enjoying the after-treatment from Emi after finishing the brawl. Emi was pretty worried about him since he fought the youth for her sake.

She didn't know why, but she felt warmth in her heart. The young man in front of him was not that handsome, still, he was pretty cool when he fought to protect her.

Skye was on cloud nine when suddenly a stuttering voice came from the side and broke their sweet time.

"B-Boss.. we have done our part of the deal, S-so could you finished the payment quickly because we need the money as soon as possible.."

The voice instantly brought down the sweet tension. It was from a boy that looks like a member of the previous youth's gang.

The boy noticed the weird looks of Skye and Emi, and he started to stutters more.

"U-um, I-I'm sorry if I disturb your precious time boss."

With that being said, the boy was about to escape, but Emi was able to stop him.

" Speak, what do you mean by your part of the deal."

This time, the student council president, Emi Eleanore was back. She spoke with charisma that oppresses the boy and forces him to speak truthfully.

The boy glanced at Skye with a fearful look, but Emi's aura was too much for him. He took a deep breath and told Emi about the deal that Skye has made with them.

They were hired by Skye to be an actor for harassing Emi, then Skye would drove them away and they would receive their payment.

Everything was going as planned, but the payment hasn't arrived yet. The boy was getting anxious since he told Emi that he would use the money for the treatment of his grandma.

So he steeled his nerve and tries to ask Skye to finish his part of the deal, never intending to disturb the sweet time between the two.

The story was too much for Emi, and her brain couldn't progress the sudden turn of the event.

In the beginning, she has some doubt about the boy's story, but when she remembered that Skye didn't even have a scratch on him and the fight was too fast and easy to resolve, she started to smell something fishy.

The final blow was when Skye, at the point of outrage tried to hit the boy.

Skye shouted saying that the boy has slandered him, yet it only works to convince Emi further that all of this was just Skye's plot.

Emi pulled out some bills and shove them into the boy's hand. Indicating him to go away and use the money for his grandma's treatment.

Then, he walked toward Skye and confront him.

" Emi, you know it was not like that. I'm innocent, and I was protecting you from those gangsters."

Seeing that Emi didn't fight back, Skye was convinced that Emi trusts his words, and she only gives the boy money to prevent further troubles.

Skye started to talk more about how brave he is and how he does all of this for the sake of justice. He even said that he would search for the boy, intending to take the money back to Emi.

All being said, he was going to hold Emi's hand and take her to the restaurant when he noticed a white slender hand was heading on his face.

*SLAP*

" I must be so blind to trust you before. Don't come near me anymore Sicko"

Emi slapped Skye's face. Her face was full of disgust. She takes her belonging walked away from Skye. Ending the sweet story of Hero saving the beauty.

.

Without the two of them noticing, the boy who was the key point of the trouble was standing next to them. The boy was only 2 meters away from them, but strangely non of them were able to discern the presence of the boy.

It was like the boy was a devil sent to earth to disrupt their romantic story. The boy was smiling beside them and the smile just got wider once he heard the notification from his system.
