Chapter 144 Laylah... Hikaru...



Hikaru shrugged, although he didn't say anything, he had a smug smile as he looked at Laylah.

"If you want more information, you have to pay a fee, you understand."

Hearing that, Laylah stepped back, covering her chest with her hands: "You... Do you crave my body that much?"

Hikaru: "..."

"Please... you were the one who took the initiative to kiss me first."

"But in the research center, you were the one who took the initiative to kiss me."

Hikaru: "..."

He really didn't know how to refute her. Indeed, when he was in that secret research center, he only did so to threaten Laylah.

"Oh! Looks like you guys are closer to each other now, right?"

Suddenly, Velys came over, holding a tray of hot food in her hand. On her face was an extremely friendly smile as if Hikaru wasn't her boyfriend.

"Ack!" Hikaru was startled: "Velys, I can explain."

Velys shook her head, she put the tray of food on the table, then smiled and said: "Hikaru, I said from the beginning, that I don't care about many women you have, just having me in your heart is enough."

"Besides..." Velys said, glancing at Laylah: "If it's Laylah, then I'm willing to accept it. She is a wonderful girl, Hikaru, you must hold her tightly."

Velys finished speaking and left, leaving only him and Laylah.

Everything happened so fast, that Hikaru didn't even have time to react before Velys left.

Laylah then shook her head and said: "I don't understand why a wonderful girl like Velys would love you. Maybe..."

Laylah was about to say something, however, Hikaru sighed, interrupting her words: "Things are not how you presume it to be. Velys doesn't love me because 'someone' arranged it."

Laylah knew who the 'someone' in Hikaru's words was. However, she still found it hard to believe: "I cannot find any reason why Velys loves you."

Hikaru shrugged: "Laylah, you are over 30 years old, and old people often cannot understand the psychology of young people."

"What?!" Laylah stood up instantly, her face brimming with fury: "You said I'm old?"

"That's right." Hikaru smiled and said: "You are Over 30 years old, you are both old and single. Maybe because of your personality, no one loves you, right?"

"You..." Laylah felt so angry that she wanted to spit blood. For the first time, someone dared to call her old and prying.

"Did you know that the number of people who are in love with me can fill up an avenue?"

Hikaru looked surprised: "Oh! That much? So... where are they? Why can't I see them?"

Laylah clenched her hands, it seemed like she wasn't thinking as much as before.

She immediately approached him, sat on his lap, and fixed her eyes on his.

Hikaru was also startled by Laylah's actions, he didn't think she would dare to do such a thing.

"Do you see how old I am?"

Hikaru swallowed, in fact, even though Laylah was over 30 years old, she was still extremely charming and beautiful.

Her curves could entice any man.

Even though she had gone through a long day of activities, Laylah's body still carried a seductive scent.

'No! Hikaru once said that me and him were rivals, so this definitely didn't appear in that god's setup.'

'Could it be... am I really in love with him?'

Laylah didn't know what to do next. Although she is very charming, very mysterious, and is a main character in a series of novels.

However, she has never loved anyone. Although Laylah's appearance and actions indicate that she is very mature, she actually has no experience with love.

Laylah took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her emotions, however, many thoughts still appeared in her heart, making her unable to sleep.

...

Hikaru stood on the balcony, looking into the distance, he felt that Laylah's expression was a bit strange in his heart.

"Rika, do you think Laylah's personality is slowly changing?"

[I thought you didn't realize that.]

"You mean... Laylah's personality change is inevitable?"

[No, that's because she's getting close to becoming your ally. The more she comes into contact with you, the more she trusts you, and the fainter her protagonist aura becomes.]

[Without the protagonist's aura, she's just an ordinary weak girl.]

Hearing that, Hikaru nodded. He thought so too at first, however, he didn't think that Laylah's protagonist's aura would be easily dimmed by him.

But when Rika confirmed it once more, Hikaru truly believed it to be true.

"Is the protagonist's aura so easily faded by me?"

[Actually, it's impossible. However, Laylah and you come from two different novels. In theory, you're not exactly the villain in Laylah's novels.]

[Because of that, the odds of the two of you becoming allies are very high. It's just... will you become her ally in the end, or... she will become your ally.]

"What difference does that make?"

[Of course it's very different. If you become her ally, you become part of the protagonist. However, the side character who is next to the main character still has a mortality rate.]

Hikaru nodded, he knew that. In many novels, the supporting character next to the main character sometimes dies for some reason.

[But if she becomes your ally, it means that she has given up on herself being the protagonist, and she will become an ally of the villain.]

[So... you will become the villainous Boss, and Laylah will be your ally, no, to be more precise, she will become your subordinate.]

[Even though Laylah has given up on herself as the main character, her aura is still enough to help her grow. It's just... if faced with the other main characters, Laylah still has a very high chance of dying.]

"I understand. So... Laylah's personality is due to the fact that her main character's aura is fading, so she has a high chance of becoming my ally?"

[ Yes, however, Laylah still has a chance of not becoming your ally and instead she will become your enemy. There is no 100% certainty that she will become your ally.]

Hearing that, Hikaru shrugged: "I know... however, I will try. Anyway, I can't sit still and wait for the other main characters to come and kill me."

"Besides... I also want to go to another world with Velys."

[Sigh, you still haven't given up on taking Velys with you? That's completely impossible, don't you understand?]

"I understand... I completely understand what you said. However, if I try, and fail, then I have tried my best."

"If I don't try, I would have failed from the moment this thought appeared in my mind."
