25: A Brief With The Villain

The entire cafeteria descended into silence.

While everyone awaited for some interesting thing to spice up their life, they never in their wildest dreams thought that Leon would speak like that.

Ella was at a loss for words after hearing this.

"Leon! What did you say?"

"Ella!"Leon screamed in an equally intimidating voice.

"Ella, I am not your dog that is gonna do whatever is asked for. I don't care what you want to say so stop wasting time and let me eat peacefully."

Ella glanced around noticing everyone's curious gaze and her blood boiled in fury.

She had heard about her brother getting into conflict with John. She came here with goodwill to give him an earful and make him understand his situation, asking him to lay low and not to bring trouble for himself.

"Leon, I just meant to give you some advice. I didn't mean any harm. Moreover, why are you speaking in that tone?"Ella asked in a softer tone with moist eyes.

"Then what do you want me to do? Suck your toes like a dog and say thanks for thinking about me. I can already infer that you are here for John's matter but it has nothing to do with you nor Befort as I am not a Befort anymore."

Leon got up and was about to leave when Ella ran forward and pulled his arm.

"What's gotten to your head?"Who said you aren't a Befort? You are just asked to stay outside so that you can forget about me. It was done for your well-being..."

Ella out of nowhere felt a chill crawling down her spine and released Leon's arm who was now looking at her in disgust.

"Listen, woman. I hate it when a random bitch out of nowhere touches me."Leon erupted in anger releasing a force that pushed Ella a few steps back.

"You...what's gotten into you? You are acting wild."Ella spoke with a frown wondering if something was wrong with Leon.

Even when she rejected Leon and accepted Seph's proposal before him, he had never spoken to him in such a tone.

Leon pulled his smartphone and clicked on it with a gruesome smile.

"You think you and that bitch mother of yours are kind right? Then listen to this..."

Leon pressed the button and soon between taps, the woman's voice zoomed in from the phone.

It was a talk between two women but Ella's expression became pale upon hearing the voice as she knew who the voice belonged to.

[That kid Leon, I have to throw him out.]

[Why? Is this because of your daughter.]

[No, I have to find a way to expel him and give birth to a son who will inherit Lex's wealth otherwise everything will go to that damned playboy Leon who will squander a lot.]

[Aren't you being too harsh?]

[I can't always act as the stupid lovely stepmother. It's nauseating to act like one. I have already planned everything. In the name of distancing himself from Ella, I will make him leave outside the family mansion and then I will slowly start cutting apart. I have already given him a drug that will make him addicted to drinking and who knows if that darned kid will do it by drinking. I just wish he died by choking himself.

Ella's expression turned weird and for a moment the image of her lovely mother cracked.

Leon just stood there with a smirk. He wasn't going to file a case as it was just useless and a waste of time but he could let the rumors do the bidding and smear the reputation of two bitches acting as holy angels.

"It can't be. You are lying."

"You are framing her for your grievance," Ella yelled loudly.

"How dare you forge something to destroy my mother's image. Delete this now or..."

"Or..."Leon asked, narrowing his eyes and making Ella shut.

"Or, I will beat you and cripple you."

A loud confident voice echoed followed by a handsome man with a well-proportioned physique and a confident demeanor.

He chiseled jawlines, captivating eyes, a symmetrical face, and an appealing smile that collectively reflected charm and attractiveness. His confidence and charisma tend to add to his overall appeal, making him stand out in a crowd.

'Oh! Here comes the baddie villain.'

Name:Seph Grey more

Age:19

Cultivation:Martial Grandmaster.

Seph, taking confident strides, extended his arm and wrapped it around Ella's waist while staring at Leon closely.

[System, he looks like a changed man. Did he awaken as a protagonist.]

Seph felt something weird after seeing the changes from previous Leon.

He was reborn as a villain but when his eyes met with Leon, a subconscious feeling that he couldn't compare to the pinky finger of this guy who seemed to have walked his way through the darkness.

[Host, he isn't. He does not have the halo of the protagonist and his luck is also quite pathetic not even reaching 100/so it is also impossible for him to have a fortuitous encounter.]

Seph clicked his lips in annoyance as if this guy had awakened as the protagonist he would have leached him off alas…

"You want to cripple me," Leon asked for confirmation.

"Do you think I can't?"Seph asked with a smile.

Leon burst into laughter like a madman.

"I know you can. How can a mere ant like me fight against you? After all, I am just trash."

Question marks appeared over Seph face.

'Is something wrong with him? Shouldn't he scream like let me see if you dare?'

'Why the hell is his dialogue out of the norm?'

"You know this yet you dare to offend my girl."

"Dear Sir, I am just a hungry beggar who was enjoying the meal but your lady came here and started barking."

Seph then looked at Ella who averted her gaze.

"She must have come here with some kind intention but you, instead of understanding her, tried to make her look bad. You aren't even giving your step-sister a bit of face."Seph smiled trying to corner Leon with words.

"I apologize for the misconduct, Sir. So can I go now?"Leon asked for formality's sake and just shrugged his shoulders and turned around to leave.

"Did you think you could just go without my permission?"Seph extended his arms, throwing a power-packed fist out of nowhere.

The attack wasn't deadly and Leon could dodge it easily but....

BOOM!

The force struck Leon's back and his body flew away like a ragdoll, crashing onto the ground.

Pfftt!

Leon stuck his body to vomit a huge amount of blood and pretended to pass out, making Seph surprised as he didn't even use 10% of his power.

Ella let go of Seph arms and ran towards Leon in worry but her whole body froze due a tremendous pressure.

"Seph Greymore!How dare you act brazen in the Academy and attack a student to death."

An angry roar shook the whole place.

BANG!

Seph's body was hit but due to reacting in time he was able to stabilize himself and landed on the ground safely.

Seph saw Su Lin appearing near Leon and pulling him into her arms, glared at Seph.

"I will decide your punishment after I treat him."

With this, she disappeared leaving Seph flabbergasted.

'System, what the fuck is going on here?'

'Isn't she a heroine and should support Lin Fang so why is she after that nobody trash.'

[Host, it seems your advancement has affected the plot greatly. As for Su Lin's reaction, it's within her character as your punch almost killed a student in front of her. So it's natural for her to condemn you.]

[Host is suggested to control himself.]

Seph feeling wronged could only swallow his grievance, narrowing his eyes as Leon's figure carried in Su Lin's arms.

Not only Seph but also other boys in the cafeteria daunted Leon in jealousy and anger wishing to take Leon's place.
