Chapter 106: Is it so easy to flirt with 105? That night’s events were known to none except Shane and Merica. However, the next day, once everyone had awoken, someone discovered Mr. Magre had gone missing, causing a minor commotion. After some search, he was eventually found hanging from a tree, having already awakened, but due to hanging there all night, he was thoroughly drained of strength. Afterward, just as Shane had expected, the group worked together to rescue Mr. Magre and inquired why he had been hanging from the tree. But Mr. Magre dared not tell the truth, hemming and hawing under the cover of a painfully awkward explanation, while casting angry and resentful glances at the smiling Shane in the crowd. It seemed that the young lord had thoroughly developed a hatred for Shane, exactly as Shane had anticipated. In the end, that incident naturally came to nothing, but another matter arose, causing a bit more of a stir than the previous one. That was, someone discovered that Killian, who was locked up, was covered in injuries, his face swollen and bruised, and he seemed as if he had been subjected to severe torture. No longer cold and gloomy, he now appeared puppet-like, with a vacant expression, needing others to feed him before he could eat. ... This situation alarmed Beren, who hurried over to investigate, seemingly prepared to seriously look into the matter. Unfortunately, this matter was also destined to be unresolved. Because no one except Shane could possibly know what the Old Demon Clan Faction member had endured the previous night. Killian remained stoically silent, unresponsive, a stark contrast to his previous domineering demeanor, which ultimately led to Beren and the others exhausting every strategy to make him speak, to no avail. However, Vivian and Tielle, upon learning of this, cast suspicious glances at the seemingly innocent Shane. “It couldn’t be...” “...Did you do something again?” Both of them looked at Shane doubtfully. Clearly, in their minds, Shane had become synonymous with the word “troublemaker.” “It wasn’t me, I didn’t do anything, don’t talk nonsense,” Shane naturally denied, still maintaining the facade of an innocent child. Vivian and Tielle were obviously not convinced. Putting aside the situation with Killian, just considering Mr. Magre’s ordeal, both of them felt it was certainly related to Shane. The reason was simple, because the young lord was just too clumsy at hiding the truth. Despite his unwillingness to articulate what happened last night, he kept glaring over with anger and resentment, as if he were gnashing his teeth, longing to pounce and bite Shane, which hardly appeared unrelated to Shane. But Shane just wouldn’t admit it, and there was nothing the two women could do. Only Merica, from the moment she got up, had been stealing glances at Shane and would hurriedly look away when he turned his gaze to her, even bowing her head, not daring to meet Shane’s eyes. “What’s wrong, Merica?” Lu Muya noticed Merica’s behavior, seeming somewhat concerned, drawing Vivian’s and Tielle’s attention as well. The two then observed Merica’s unnatural behavior, then the distraught Mr. Magre, and finally rested their eyes on the all-too-composed Shane, suddenly figuring out something and having an epiphany. “It seems that trash truly never learns his lesson,” Tielle said coldly, throwing a murderous look toward Mr. Magre, frightening the young lord enough to make him scramble away in a hurry. “I thought, with so many people in this camp, even Mr. Magre wouldn’t dare to brazenly do anything, but now it seems I was careless,” reflected Vivian, and then she addressed the group, “From now on, whether patrolling or keeping watch, let’s have one person accompany Merica, is that alright?” Tielle and Lu Muya naturally had no objections and both nodded in agreement. “No... there’s no need to go through all that trouble! Everyone,” Merica hurriedly exclaimed, seemingly feeling guilty. Until... “Do I need it as well?” Shane asked from the side, causing Merica to suddenly lose her voice. “What do you think, Merica?” Vivian pondered for a moment before turning to Merica, seeking her opinion. After all, Vivian was aware of Merica’s condition and knew why Merica was wary of Shane, so she planned to ask Merica’s intentions for the time being. Of course, Vivian thought that Merica would probably disagree. Allowing Shane to spend time alone with her did not seem like something Merica would agree to. However, Vivian still hoped that both Merica and Lu Muya could become closer to Shane. Not for any particular reason, only because Shane had a special identity. For a long time in the future, they were likely going to have to deal with Shane, and so Vivian did not want there to be any unpleasantness between them. Vivian also knew that such matters couldn’t be rushed; for now, she could only try to bring both sides a little closer and leave the rest for later. With this in mind, Vivian did not expect Merica to agree outright to this matter. Instead, while asking, she was prepared with some rationale in her heart. Who would have thought... “I... I’m fine with it...” There, Merica, who had just been somewhat shy, now blushed, hung her head low, and with a voice quieter than a mosquito’s, gave such a response. “Huh?” This time, not only was Vivian taken aback, but Tielle and Lu Muya were both astonished. Not just the girls, even Shane felt surprised, looking at the blushing Merica and couldn’t help but feel a twitch in his heart. (Could it really be that just a garland managed to win over this Elf beauty who even noble lords couldn’t woo?) Are the beautiful girls of the Otherworld so easy to bribe? Could there really be such a stunning Goddess who would fancy a dude with no car, no house, no savings? (No, I’m not a loser either, I am the Hero chosen by the Goddess, the one destined by fate, how could I be a loser?) Shane shook his head vigorously, trying to discard the self-image forming in his mind. Although he had completely forgotten the memories concerning his past life, Shane had no clue about his family background in his previous life, but since he had forgotten, then his past life’s identity was irrelevant to his current self. (Maybe I was a wealthy second generation?) Shane could only mutter to himself in his heart, brainwashing himself. As for the others, they were all looking at Merica’s blushing demeanor, each lost in thought. “Mr. Magre seems to have done a good deed this time,” Vivian said with a meaningful smile, as if she had seen through something. “Hmph...” Tielle turned her head away as if she found the situation quite tedious. “Merica...?” Lu Muya was still confused, looking at Merica with surprise in her eyes. “Um...” Merica never looked up, her face still as red as ever.
