I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree-Chapter 107 - Reunion

“Congratulations, Sharlot.”

Phil walked into the room, looking at Sharlot, who was using pen and paper to make deductions at her desk, and spoke with a smile. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After these days of getting along, the relationship between the two had gradually become closer. Phil also started calling her by the nickname “Sharlot.”

“What is it?” Sharlot did not look at Phil, still staring closely at the paper on her desk.

“Because of your outstanding work, His Majesty is preparing to promote you to the position of Chief of Criminal Investigation at the Security Office, with full responsibility for this case and all future security issues in Saint Roland City.”

“Oh.” Sharlot heard this and simply nodded.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t this news good enough? After becoming Chief, at least you won’t have to worry about your livelihood, and you can settle down in Saint Roland City. More importantly, the people you’ll interact with in the future will all be from the upper class...”

Seeing Sharlot react indifferently to the proposal, Phil looked at her in confusion.

“Not really.” Sharlot said this, stopping what she was doing. “I just feel... the matter isn’t resolved yet. It’s a bit hasty to reward people like this.”

Yes, the trail for Milton had ended at that house. In the end, even though the search team turned the house upside down, they couldn’t find any clues.

The evil ritual in the basement was real, but that didn’t mean the investigation could be concluded.

“Sigh, I understand your thinking, Sharlot, but there’s no other way now. We can only pacify everyone’s emotions through rewards, and also get the subsequent work back on track.” Phil said this.

After all, she was someone who had been in the official circles. Naturally, she was very familiar with how to wield authority.

“Furthermore, after your promotion, won’t you have more resources at your disposal? At that time, you won’t need my cooperation. You can carry out investigations on your own.”

“But in return, you’d lose a lot of freedom, right?” Sharlot countered.

“That can’t be helped. We are all helpless in the face of this,” Phil sighed helplessly.

Sharlot did not want to refuse this promotion and reward. After all, it was His Majesty the Emperor himself who had ordered her to be commended. If she didn’t accept it, it would be somewhat disrespectful to His Majesty. In that case, she wouldn’t have an easy time in the future either.

“Alright, when do I start the new position?” Sharlot asked Phil.

“Tomorrow. I’ll take you there.” Seeing that Sharlot had agreed, Phil was relieved, and a smile reappeared on her face.

“Just trust me. Having someone to assist you is much better than fighting alone.”

“Mm.”

...

“Ah! Big Brother, you’re back!” Today, after class, as Laina was walking back to the dormitory with Lianca, she happened to run into Orson, who was preparing to go out.

Upon seeing Orson, Laina’s expression changed slightly, but she still raised her hand and greeted Orson.

Lianca had also seen Orson from afar. At that moment, she was prepared to pull Laina and take a detour. However, Laina’s strength was too great, and she could only follow Laina and walk back via the original route.

“Or... Orson, long time no see,” Lianca said this.

“Mm, long time no see, Lianca, Laina.” Seeing the two, Orson was startled for a moment. But after looking up at the setting sun in the western sky, he quickly regained his senses.

Laina jogged over to Orson, looked up at him, and only sighed in relief after confirming that nothing was wrong with Orson.

Lianca also came before Orson. Since they had already run into each other, she might as well find a topic to chat about.

Thinking this, Lianca asked:

“Orson... I heard from Sister earlier... that you were injured outside? How are you? Is it serious?”

Upon hearing Lianca ask this, Orson was unfazed. On the other hand, Laina beside him subtly turned her head away, putting on an innocent expression as if she knew nothing.

However, at this moment, Lianca did not notice the expression on Laina’s face. She was waiting for Orson’s response.

“I’m fine. Rest assured. Didn’t your sister tell you that I could get out of bed and move around the next day?” Orson said this, shaking his arm to show that he was fine.

“That’s good,” Lianca heard this and sighed in relief.

Then her pupils shrank, and she quickly took two steps back.

“That... I didn’t... I’m not saying I care about you or anything, it’s just... just because you’re my brother-in-law, and also because of our previous agreement, that’s why I asked... Absolutely, absolutely no other meaning!”

“I know,” Orson smiled and nodded, then said, “I have something to do, so I won’t stay here any longer. Lianca, I’ll have to trouble you to continue looking after Laina these days.”

“Ah... Mm, I understand.”

Upon hearing that Orson was leaving, a trace of disappointment flashed in Lianca’s eyes. But she still agreed.

Only after Orson had walked far away did Lianca look at Laina beside her.

“Laina, let’s go back.”

“Stare...”

However, Laina remained in place, staring straight at Lianca.

“Huh? Laina, what do you mean by looking at me like that?”

Lianca was a little scared by Laina’s stare and quickly asked.

“Sister Lianca, don’t tell me you like Big Brother?”

“Wha... what nonsense! Laina, don’t think too much!” Lianca said this, quickly waving her hands to indicate that Laina shouldn’t overthink it.

“How could I ever like that guy? What’s so good about him besides being a nice person, gentle, strong, and good-looking? Besides, he’s my brother-in-law...”

“Oh~” Laina heard this and nodded.

“If he’s Sister Lianca’s brother-in-law, then Sister Lianca doesn’t have a chance.”

“Exactly!” Lianca nodded fiercely in agreement.

“So Sister Lianca is very regretful, right?”

“...Not at all!” Lianca subconsciously wanted to nod, but after hearing Laina’s words clearly, she quickly shook her head.

“Hehe, seems like it’s just as I thought,” Laina said this, covering her mouth and revealing a sly smile.

“What are you thinking? Hey!”

...

After obtaining a temporary exit permit, Orson left the academy and came to a restaurant not far from the academy.

Orson gave his name, and soon someone led him to a private room on the second floor.

At this moment, inside the private room, a masked man was sitting there, already eating the complimentary bread by himself.

Only after seeing Orson enter did he raise his head and look at Orson.

“Long time no see.”

“Mm, you’ve worked hard during this time.”

Saying this, Orson sat opposite the man.

“It really was hard work. My pretty face got scarred,” the man joked, removing his mask.

Underneath the short golden hair, on the handsome face, a terrifying scar now appeared not far below the right eye.

“Sigh, you’ve worked hard...” Orson said this, sighing.

“Doctor.”
