Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 501

Chapter 501 I Wouldn’t Have Hurt if You’d Died

Soon after they left, the venue returned to order. In this race against time to get rich, the audience preferred to ignore the incident in favor of devoting themselves to the cause.

When she noticed Kenneth’s hand inadvertently holding his wound, Elise said before she could think too much about it, “Thank you.”

In response, he only looked at her affectionately without saying anything.

What she didn’t know was that he was absolutely entranced with the way she used his power to take Ziggy down a peg.

Surely it wouldn’t take long before she completely got used to it and relied on this identity of his.

The pain of Kenneth’s wound was nothing in comparison to the feeling of being relied upon by her.

It wasn’t until Elise realized something was strange and looked up at him that he quickly averted his gaze. Clearing his throat, he changed the topic and asked, “How did you know I came to exterminate the Eagle Gang?”

Stunned, she pulled back.

No… She’d only been blathering nonsense. It couldn’t be true.

“You really exterminated the entire gang?” Elise murmured tentatively.

Hearing that, Kenneth frowned.

From her question, it seemed she hadn’t known about this matter, and yet…

Seeing through his thoughts, she offered up an explanation. “I only said all of that to scare Ziggy and to let him know that there were others better than him and not to be so brazen. I didn’t know Eagle Gang was truly gone… Is this why you got so badly injured yesterday?”

Kenneth hummed in response. Having already let things slip, he had no choice but to confirm her suspicions.

After a moment of thought, she continued, “Did you do it single-handedly?”
