The Ex and Her Riches

“Stop guessing. You’ll understand sooner or later.” He tapped Nicole’s head. “Still, I’ve never taken care of anyone, and I won’t support you for free. If you wish to stay by my side, you’ll have to prove your worth to me.”

Nicole was slightly taken aback. She mulled over his words seriously.

Taking in her conflicted demeanor, Nico pursed his lips and strode forward.

Not long after, Nicole caught up to him and grasped his arm. “Why don’t you teach me how to fight, Nico? I can help you kill people in the future. I’ll be your most dependable and capable subordinate!”

Nico was at a loss for words. I’m doing perfectly fine, so why do I need to kill anyone? Did she really believe me when I told her I was a psychopathic murderer?

“Since you know I’m not a good person, aren’t you afraid of me?”

Nicole’s eyes shone with sincerity when she met his gaze. “All I know is that you saved me. You’re the first person in this world who is so kind to me. Even if you truly are a bad person, I’m still willing to follow you and walk down this shady path.”

Nico was stunned. It was the first time he’d heard such words directed at him. Come to think of it, she’s also the first stranger who has taken the initiative to be kind to me.

As they locked gazes, both Nico and Nicole were able to sense the goodwill they had toward one another.

“Ceddy!” Gwendolyn’s hysterical shriek sounded from ahead, drawing the duo’s attention.

Cedrick had fainted without warning.

With the last of his strength, he had managed to carry Gwendolyn to the back seat of the car, but he himself was drained of all energy to get in as he collapsed by the roadside.

Nico immediately ran over to help Cedrick into the car. Then, they headed to the laboratory together with the Super Antiviral.
