However, that was on the condition that Selvia was willing to say what she knew.
Negut knew… With the relationship between the protagonist and heroine, getting any information about Alec from Selvia was almost impossible.
However, he still wanted to try. Even if he failed, at least he had tried.
"If you can help me this time, whatever you want, I can give it to you."
Hearing those words from Negut, Selvia immediately thought of something, her sexy red lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
When Negut saw Selvia's action, he knew that he was on the right track.
"I swear on my name as the son of the governor, my words are true." He hurriedly said: "If you don't believe me, you can use your mobile phone to record it."
"That… I…" Selvia pursed her lips, then said: "I believe you."
Negut heard a sigh of relief: "Good! Hahahaha… So, Selvia, how did you know I was in danger?"
Selvia looked at Negut, her eyes like two sparkling glass beads that made him somewhat mesmerised.
"Selvia, don't!" Ivy's voice rang in Selvia's head: "This is your secret; you can't let him know."
Selvia seemed to ignore Ivy's words; she looked at Negut and softly said: "I… I can see your death."
Negut was startled upon hearing this and immediately asked: "You mean... your talent... can see my death?"
"Almost…" Selvia nodded in response.
Negut was somewhat doubtful, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Selvia: "Then… tell me how I will die and when I will die?"
Selvia half-closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and recalled the scene she had seen in her mind.
"I saw… Tonight, you will die. You will be killed by monsters, your limbs will be severed, and then you will be hung on the city gates, exposed to the sun until you die."
Negut's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit his fist inside.
'No… that's my outcome if I don't overcome the death event. But... how does she know that?'
'Could it be… her talent is predicting the future?'
'No! That's not right either. If it were a future prediction, she would definitely know what Alec was planning. Perhaps… her talent is seeing someone's death.'
Negut took a deep breath; he had to believe it even if he didn't want to. Selvia's words and the system's notification were completely identical.
Seeing Negut remain silent, Selvia hurriedly explained: "That's why I'm here. Negut, I came here to protect you."
Negut frowned upon hearing this: "Why do you want to protect me?"
Selvia lowered her head, silent, and didn't answer.
He sighed, unsure whether to believe Selvia's words. However, if she truly saw his death, why did she come here?
Could it be that she really wanted to protect him?
Negut raised an eyebrow and asked: "Alec is currently being held at the police station, do you know that?"
Selvia nodded: "Uhm! Because I had him imprisoned."
"Right, you… Heh?!" Negut suddenly realized something wasn't right: "Wait! You… What do you mean? You had Negut imprisoned?"
Selvia nodded again: "Because I thought you wanted to put him in jail, so I helped you do it."
Negut: Σ (° ロ °)
'Shocking! Extremely shocking!'
'The heroine helping the villain put the protagonist in jail.'
'Is it because the villain's charm is too great or am I being drawn into an illusionary world by Selvia?'
"You… you put him in jail?" Negut stammered, "Why?"
"As I said…" Selvia said, puzzled, "You wanted to do it, so I helped you."
"You…" Negut's mouth gaped open, unsure what to say next.
'Wait a minute!' He suddenly remembered something as he mentally recalled Selvia's actions.
On the contrary, Selvia seemed to want to get close to him, and she was even trying to distance herself from Alec.
It's important to know that the person most strongly influenced by the protagonist's aura is the heroine.
More precisely, the ones most strongly affected by Alec's aura are his harem.
Selvia is also a heroine, destined to become one of Alec's women. She should definitely be influenced by Alec's protagonist aura, but... her behavior is completely the opposite.
As if she's not affected by Alec's protagonist's aura at all.
Even if she created a trap, it wouldn't go as far as forcing Alec into jail.
Moreover, that idea was Billy's, not Negut's.
He suddenly felt that Selvia, who was already mysterious, was now shrouded in an even thicker fog, making her even more enigmatic.
Negut didn't know if Selvia was genuinely helping him, or if she was just setting a trap.
"Alright, I'll temporarily trust you," Negut said with a sigh, then proceeded into the room.
After all, he wasn't clear whether Selvia was helping him or deceiving him. He could only continue to observe.
Selvia felt a bit happy upon hearing this and followed behind him.
After entering the room, he plopped down on the sofa, feeling a bit of a headache from the sheer amount of information he'd received.
The Death Event.
The heroine putting the protagonist in jail.
Selvia's ability to see his death.
Too many things made him feel tired and gave him a headache.
"Young Master." Suddenly, Uncle Wells entered the room and hurriedly approached him.
Uncle Wells glanced at Selvia, then handed him a tablet: "You should see this."
Negut took the tablet; the screen displayed a jail cell, and inside were four men.
In reality, Negut had his subordinates contact the police to gain access to the surveillance camera feed of the cell.
Selvia sat down beside him and, seeing the image of Alec in the cell, focused her attention on the tablet.
Negut frowned, then reached out and put his arm around Selvia's shoulders.
'Huh! Let me see… whether you're deceiving me, or if you're truly here to help me.'
'Selvia! Seeing your man imprisoned, how do you feel?'
'Ah! Watching your man locked up while being held by the villain like this, it must be very uncomfortable, right?'
Negut acted this way because he wanted to test… just what Selvia's limits were.
Selvia's body suddenly trembled as if startled by Negut's action.
Seeing this, he sneered: 'Feeling very uncomfortable, aren't you? If you're uncomfortable, just push me away and leave. Hahahaha…'
However, her next action silenced Negut.
Selvia seemed to offer no resistance; she leaned her head against his chest, making it easier for him to embrace her.
Negut: "..." Σ (° ロ °)
'This girl… could she be willing to sacrifice her body just to lure me into a trap?' Negut thought to himself: 'Impossible! Selvia has never let any man touch her, why is she letting me?'
'Could it be… Alec has already touched her?'
Negut felt an immense headache, but he didn't let his guard down around Selvia just because she allowed him to embrace her.
He glanced at Uncle Wells, signaling with his eyes. Uncle Wells nodded slightly, then left.
'Heh?! I haven't even said anything, and Uncle Wells already understands what needs to be done?'
'As expected of the butler who's been with me since childhood.'
Negut felt a little more at ease. He wanted Uncle Wells to be highly vigilant towards Selvia.
He glanced at Selvia, her head lowered against his chest, and sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of envy towards the protagonist.
Negut also wished he had a woman willing to enter the most dangerous places to help him.
'Her face is probably showing disgust right now. Huh! The more uncomfortable you feel, the tighter I'll hold you.'
'Anyway, I don't even know if I'll be alive after today, so reaping a little benefit, embracing the protagonist's woman a bit, isn't a big deal.'
Negut tightened his grip slightly, and Selvia's body trembled again. He could feel… her body warming up as if she had a fever.
'Could she be so angry that her body is heating up?'
'Tsk! You shouldn't blame me, it's because you put yourself in this situation.'
Although Negut couldn't see Selvia's face at the moment, he thought his assumptions were correct.
Indeed, Selvia's face was flushed, and even her ears were red like ripe apples.
But… she wasn't feeling angry; on the contrary, she was feeling shy.
However, Selvia had no intention of escaping Negut's embrace.
Instead, she was enjoying this strange feeling.
'Is this the feeling of an embrace?' Selvia thought, biting her lip: 'So… a man's arms are this big.'
'So warm… so safe… so peaceful…'
Selvia closed her eyes slightly as if she was about to fall asleep. She also didn't understand why, besides being able to enjoy the quiet, when she was next to him, she felt a strange sense of security.
Up until now, this was the first time she had been hugged like this by a man.
Even her father was afraid to stand near her.
"This is…" Negut suddenly spoke, startling Selvia, and waking her from that comfortable feeling.
On the screen, Alec was being beaten by the three other inmates. Even though the inmates were all ordinary people, however, Alec had been bound by the 'equality chains', at this moment, he was no different from an ordinary person.
When he became an ordinary person, Alec couldn't use his strength to confront the three inmates.
"Bastards!" Alec roared: "You dare hit me, wait until I get out, I will repay you a hundred, a thousand times over."
"Ah! This brat still thinks he can get out?" One of the three inmates said while laughing scornfully.
"Hahahaha… so stupid! Anyone imprisoned in this area, if they aren't imprisoned for 3-5 years, they will die in the mouths of void monsters, you think you have a chance to get out?"
"Don't worry, here, even if you are beaten to death, no one will care."
"Impossible!"
