The Arrogant Heroine Was Too Overbearing, So I Immediately Switched Sides to Become the Traitor-Chapter 43 - You Are the Real [Dreamer], Evan

“What’s wrong?”

“We arrested a thug who was just committing a crime, ma’am!”

Seeing Sylvie walk over. The middle-aged knight immediately changed from his fierce appearance just now to a righteous smile.

And at the same time. Evan also looked at the scattered fast food boxes, snacks, and sodas on the ground, thinking, maybe this guy just woke up, came out to grab something to eat, and then got caught?

It was even harder to bear. But what to do now? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Sylvie’s small face looked somewhat blank. Not just her, even the knights beside her didn’t know what to do.

Normally, they wouldn’t bother with matters in the Outer Street like this, because the owners of small shops opened in the Outer Street basically had insurance. Under the “Outer Street Special Management Law” previously established by the Empire, as long as the value of the looted goods did not exceed 1000 gold dragons, they would be compensated. So, when shops were robbed, they usually let the robbers take things, as they could just claim compensation for the robbery anyway. That’s why the short red-haired guy just now mentioned zero-dollar shopping.

The essence of this. Was actually the Empire spending some money to make the delinquents in the Outer Street behave a bit better, at least ensuring their daily food and clothing needs were met, and preventing ordinary robberies from escalating into serious violent crimes. But ultimately, it was lazy governance, because this was the consequence of the Empire being unwilling to invest more knightly orders to manage the security of the Outer Street.

Knowing that the knights before them were simply embarrassed to ignore the crime happening in front of a major noble. It was like in school, if a student found a bug or a mouse in their food from the cafeteria normally, it wouldn’t matter; but if a superior came for inspection and found a mouse or bug while “enjoying food with the people” in the cafeteria, then it definitely wouldn’t be allowed.

In the end. It was Evan who resolved the awkward situation.

“You, are you Danny?”

“Yes.”

The short red-haired guy lifted his head at this moment, allowing Evan to confirm, under the already lit streetlights by the road, that he should be from the dwarf race.

The guy before him. His figure was estimated to be the size of a ten-year-old child, and his face was also extremely childish, with freckles on both sides of his nose, looking exactly like a little shota. However, following the tradition of the dwarf race, he had a thick beard around his mouth. And it was meticulously braided into strips with rather ancient rings.

This was the characteristic of dwarves. Regardless of gender, the males were shotas and the females were lolis, and they never grew taller or older throughout their lives, even retaining a certain degree of eternal youth. But even so, dwarves were very stubborn; the males would grow beards, and the females would grow long hair, to prove that they were not “small.”

Of course, this was extremely different from the dwarves in traditional fantasy stories. But since it was an erotic game, it was understandable. Right? If the dwarves in an erotic game were middle-aged men or women, could they even be used for lewdness?

Honestly!! How many times have I said it? Everything in an erotic game exists for the sake of lewdness!!!

“Alright, Danny, I think you’ll probably go rob a few other shops later, right?”

“Huh, how did you know?” Danny was stunned. He wondered how the guy in front of him knew his “work plan” for the day? After all, he could only rob things worth no more than 1000 gold dragons each time. So, this shop was for food, the next one would be for clothes, and the one after that for daily necessities, like shampoo, shower gel, etc.... Life always requires many things to sustain, right?

“It’s nothing, take this.” Evan shook his head. He took out a small pouch from his pocket, and from inside, he took out ten shiny gold coins and placed them into Danny’s hands, which were still professionally held over his head. Hmm, forced them in.

“Take it.”

“Ah?!”

Holy crap, great gold dragons?! Danny felt the hard texture of the coins in his hand in disbelief. The official currency issued by the United Empire was paper money printed with the Castain family’s golden dragon emblem, hence also called gold dragon coins. The highest denomination was only one hundred.

But at the same time, among the nobility, coins made of gold and silver, known as “great gold dragons,” were also popular. One coin was worth one thousand gold dragons. Which meant Evan had just casually given the short dwarf before him ten thousand gold dragon coins.

“Alright, just consider today’s work finished. Now go home and get a good night’s sleep.” Evan said easily. The money he had just given the other party was all pocket money Isabella had given him before. As the princess of the Eternal Night Kingdom, the girl was certainly very wealthy.

Besides that, Alexia also gave him pocket money every month—well, after all, he was part of the Brian family and her knight. But he didn’t spend much money at school, so Evan had been saving it all up. Now, after one semester, he had already saved over a hundred great gold dragons.

That was still considered little. For major nobles like Isabella, if they hosted a banquet, hundreds of great gold dragons would flow like water, spent casually. If converted. That would be hundreds of thousands of gold dragon coins. This was the living expense of the Empire’s top major nobles.

“Take these things back to the shop owner.” He signaled the knights to collect the scattered food and return it to the robbed shop owner.

At this moment. There were few people on the long street. After all, no one looking at the ten heavily armed knights standing here would want to actively cause trouble.

“Then I’m leaving?”

“Go ahead.”

Evan nodded, watching the short red-haired dwarf before him, seemingly in disbelief, slowly get up, carefully clutching the great gold dragons in his hand. He immediately turned and ran, disappearing into a small alley by the street at extreme speed.

“Let’s go too.”

“Okay.”

Sylvie nodded, hugged his arm, and turned back to the sports car. The knights nearby also returned the items, got back into their armored vehicles, and continued to follow not far behind his and Sylvie’s car.

“Evan, what you did was meaningless.” The girl said softly, shaking her head as she drove.

Evan certainly knew what Sylvie meant. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Giving that short red-haired dwarf ten thousand gold dragons wouldn’t solve any problems. Neither for him nor for the entire Outer Street. Maybe the other party would just go to another street for zero-dollar shopping right away.

But...

“It doesn’t matter. Maybe he earned money today and just went straight home to sleep. And because he didn’t go elsewhere for zero-dollar shopping, maybe he avoided some kind of crisis. Calculating it, maybe I saved his life.” Evan said casually. For someone without fish, having fish is always better than having no fish. Anyway, for him, it was just a small thing done casually.

“‘Do not fail to do good deeds even if they are small, do not do evil deeds even if they are small,’ right?”

“What are you talking about, Evan?” The girl seemed not to understand.

“Is it some ancient Eastern wisdom? It sounds like it.”

“Yes, it is.”

“Heh, you’re really interesting, Evan.” The girl smiled sweetly, driving the car towards the distant tall buildings full of flashing neon lights. She inexplicably turned her head, giggling at him.

“I think, you are the real [Dreamer].”

“Evan.”
