"Come on, tell me, if you need, I can help you. Even if you do not like me, you know that I am good with daggers and I have a good memory. I will never forget the face I had seen once.
If you would pay me a little more, I would help you in finding any girl you are looking for." her nerves were tightening when the man did not reply. Though she was often carless, she knew that this man could not be trifled with.
Yet the thought was not able to stop her irritation when he did not pay any heed to her words. Wasn't he running behind her and talking sweetly to her even when she was ignoring him when she was dressed up as a woman, now that she was a man, he was giving her a cold shoulder.
Alex, who was still scanning the room and staring at the girls with dark hair, turned rigid and then turned to look at Olvia with a cold and devious smile on his face as if he was trying to kill her with his cold gaze.
"How do you know that I am looking for a girl here?" his eyes turned razor sharp piercing her soul and she gulped in her heart.
Damn! How could she make such a foolish mistake? But could she be scared or undermined!
She smiled brightly and gave him a lecherous grin and wriggled her brows. She looked like a lecherous man who thinks nothing but girls and has dirty thoughts in her mind all the time.
"How I guessed, you ask? Ha! Brother, I have years of experience. With the way you were staring at those girls with dark hair, even a fool could understand that you are suffering from your needs.
Well, if you do not have anything in mind, then I can take you to a better place, you know!" Olivia walked closer and placed her hands on his shoulder and patted it with a meaningful look on her face like they were old comrades.
"............." Olivia felt that the temperature around her dropped instantly. The place turned freezing cold and when the man turned to look at her, the desire to kill was so evident that a normal person would have already fallen on their knees.
His face was no less than a demon, full of cold and cruel looks when he turned and stared at her hands that were on his shoulders.
He picked up the napkin from the table and covered his hands with it before holding her arms and jerking them with so much force that she felt her bones crushing when he held her.
"That taut muscles are not for show at least, brother! You are strong." she whispered trying to smile again when she rubbed her arms. He had sprained her muscles just by holding them. What a beast was he!
"Leave! If you do not want me to hold your neck!" The words came out through gritted teeth and she knew that she had pressed all his nerves but he could not leave before knowing the truth.
If he had known that she was the murdered then she had to go and look for another disguise which was getting tougher since he knew her face!
"I have checked all the rooms, master. She is not here but why are we looking at her? If she wants to leave, then let her go or are you..?" Ethan stopped in his words when he saw Olivia sitting too close to his master.
He raised his eyebrow at their closeness. He was even holding her arms. A cheeky smile formed on his lips as if he was looking for gossip.
"Master, if your intent was only to keep us busy, then you would have said so! I could have found a girl to have dinner with. Why are you making us run here and there while you are spending time with that cheeky brat who had almost killed me with your hands." Ethan took a seat near Olivia and wriggled his brows.
"Did you know your provocation had landed me on a sparring with the master and he had almost killed me.
What if i would have died without getting married. Do you know my girlfriend would have haunted my ghost and killed me again with her taunts!"
"........." this man! How dense could he be that he did not feel the death glare of his master. Did he even need her provocation to land himself in trouble when it comes to this cold man.
Just how they both survive in a team when one was a cold black panther while the other was a white bunny?
But he could be an easy target then.
"I was just asking your master what kind of a girl he was looking at and why since he was staring at the girls in the corner. If he wants, I can introduce him to some good girls. You know I am popular with them." she winked at Ethan with a suggestive look on her face when Ethan sighed and shook his head.
"If only that day could come! Master is looking for a girl but I am sure he was looking at her because she is a witness to the crime. He might want to use her as the proof if the royal court would summon him for burning the tower.
But master, I am sure that we could manage without her too. We should not drag a young girl in the mess. What if she was killed when taken to the palace?"
"......." he burnt the whole tower? Even knowing it was filled with half of the nobles of the empire and even from the foreign lands. What kind of foolish bravery was this when he was at a legal post? And would such a man need her to save him?
"Will both of you shut your mouth. I do not need a woman to protect me. I am searching for her because she is the killer of all those men."
