Chapter 142: An Affair Case [3]

Then Count Antonio brought in a woman whose face was completely covered with cotton thread.Absurdly, there were six knights with strong physiques following her.

'Wow! If I had fought those guys on Earth, I would have lost without a doubt.'

It felt like a whole bunch of UFC heavyweight female fighters were rushing in.

I wondered how pretty she had to be to be so overprotective.

Soon, a voice as clear as a whistle rang through the conference room.

"I heard you were looking for me."

"…."

I looked at the woman without saying a word.

It wasn't because I was fascinated by the alluring and mysterious atmosphere.

It was just because of the holographic text that appeared before my eyes.

[Information on transcendent figures cannot be accessed.]

[You can unlock some of these features with an item summon ticket.]

[Would you like to use it?]

An item summoning ticket obtained by promulgating a law in Deliat.

I was wondering how to use it, but it seems that it only applies in certain situations.

I'm talking about events like opening an information window for a transcendent character like now.

'What should I do?'

I hesitated for a moment, but my worries didn't last long.

If i open up information about a transcendent person, it will be of great help in my future life.

For example, i might be able to see into the emperor's inner thoughts.

'Huh? But why didn't it come up then?'

There was no way to determine the reason immediately.

Well, that person might be a few levels higher in class.

Anyway, I couldn't not try this.

My gaze went straight to the confirm button.

Then a card appeared with a flash of light.

It looked like that was an item summoning ticket.

[The information viewing function has been enhanced.]

[As your level has increased, you can see through transcendent figures.]

[However, this function only applies to non-human beings.]

'Huh? What is this?'

I finally opened the function, and now there are these restrictions?

I felt like I had wasted my item summoning ticket.

But it was at that very moment.

'Now, wait a minute. She wasn't human?'

I thought she was just a witch who would charm people, but she was something beyond my imagination.

I quickly tapped my chest.

Since Shuguri is in the same class as me, he would have some information.

Then, immediately, a blunt voice came into my head.

―Ha! There are still things like that wandering around. I guess I'll have to live a long life to see this.

"Why are you doing that?"

-We don't treat them like demons. They suck not only your spirit but also your life force.

"Then what happens?"

―All the energies will be mixed together, and you will have a turbid magic. It is a matter of creating your own limitations.

In any case, it was certain that it was a being that harmed people.

If that's the case, I can't just leave it alone.

The already fine Count's house looks like it's been destroyed from the inside.

"Everyone else, please go out for a moment."

"Huh? No, why on earth would you give such an order?"

As soon as he said he would have a private meeting, Count Antonio jumped up.

'No, what is this guy thinking?'

Does he think I'm doing this to get Liliana?

I felt a sudden surge of anger, but perhaps that was a natural reaction. After all, rich Antonio was fascinated by a half-succubus. Read exclusive chapters at M-V-L

I nodded with a calm face.

"We will be questioning witnesses. There is no reason for the victim to attend."

"Ah!"

"Prosecutor Anderson Cantrell will be there too, so you better stop imagining things. Have you forgotten who I am?"

"… … I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Count Antonio backed away hesitantly, hiding his embarrassed expression.

Finally, I looked straight at Liliana and said, "A half-demon who has mixed in with human society. It would be fine if she had stayed quiet, but it would be a problem if she caused trouble."

"Your Honor, I guess you don't care about me."

It was just a warning to back off. But then, right away, a frightening glance came in.

For a moment, my vision became dizzy, and Liliana's face appeared dozens of times prettier. No matter which woman you bring in, she is incomparable.

But soon, a red aura arose and began to envelop my entire body.

『The Beast's Heart Activates』

Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Then, my blurry vision returned to normal. It seemed like the skill's effect completely blocked the charm.

I glanced over and saw that Attorney Anderson Cantrell was still mumbling. The sight of Liliana staring blankly and drooling was like being on drugs.

"It's no use, so why don't you stop?"

I stared at the other person with a calm expression.

"What the hell are you… You've never done anything like this before? Are you not human?"

"What are you saying? Is the highest judge of the Empire a demigod or a half-demon?"

Soon, the energy pouring out of her suddenly decreased. It seemed she had realized that her charm skill was not working. But Liliana didn't stop trying.

"Your Honor, don't you think I'm pretty? You can have me as much as you want."

I guess she always managed to get out of a crisis by seducing someone. So, comments like that came out naturally. But this time, she met the wrong person.

I could now see Liliana's true colors.

"Oh my, it's so ugly."

"… … !" Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liliana's expression twisted, and for the first time, a crack appeared in her confident facade.

She wasn't used to being talked to like that—especially not by someone who could see through her.

The red flush of anger quickly replaced her once seductive demeanor, and her eyes flared with a dangerous glint.
