Chapter 119: Why Does It Feel Like An Affair?
Luciene was completely taken aback by the sudden "wall bang". What she heard next made her freeze in shock.
I don't want to be a widow, I want to release my happiness to the fullest?
"Emmm..."
The little girl in front of her didn't say anything wrong.
But could she really say such things openly?!
Luciene had a look of shock on her face. She couldn't believe that Miss Darcy could be such a person.
Just a moment ago, while talking at the newspaper office, she felt great sympathy for Miss Darcy's unlucky situation. And now, seeing the strange expression on her husband's face, she wanted to remind Miss Darcy not to be deceived by her husband's false appearance of a gentleman, so that she wouldn't lose her innocence in vain.
But given the current situation, her worries were completely unnecessary.
"She is such a cunning little fox!"
Luciene felt a bit afraid.
She couldn't understand why Loria could see through her thoughts.
Even though she always pretended to be good, even her best friend thought she was a woman who got along well with her husband and was content with what she had.
Could it be that the scene of her secretly generating electricity was seen?
Luciene's face suddenly turned pale.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, her husband, who always cares about his reputation, will definitely not forgive her.
She tried to stay away from Loria.
But she had already backed up against the wall, no matter how hard she pressed her butt, she couldn't get away from Loria at all.
"What do you want to do?" Luciene tightly clenched her hands into fists inside her sleeves, "If you misbehave, I will shout loudly."
Loria was not scared by Luciene.
She was not here to do bad things, she came to bring warmth to the proprietor's wife.
"Madam, don't worry, I am not a bad person."
Who would believe what you say!
Luciene shouted in her heart.
If you're not a bad person, then why are you cornering me? You just want to do something to me, don't you?
Loria glanced around and, once she confirmed that there was no one nearby, she suddenly took another step forward, nearly pressing her entire body against Luciene.
Luciene became extremely nervous and started shaking uncontrollably, almost wetting herself from fright.
Fortunately, the hot air expelled from Loria's mouth blew onto her earlobe in time, otherwise the surrounding wall and the ground nearby would have definitely suffered.
"I know, madam, that you and the proprietor are only married on the surface. You've been married for years, but the proprietor has never touched you."
"..."
Luciene's expression suddenly became very complicated.
She also once longed for freedom, but the pressure from her parents forced her to marry the proprietor.
She also thought that feelings could be developed slowly after marriage, but the proprietor never paid attention to her, not even bothering to look at her at home.
At first, she thought the proprietor was not interested in women, but after attending a dinner with the proprietor, her perception changed.
That evening, when the proprietor saw a woman who was locked in a cage and covered in injuries, he suddenly couldn't move his legs.
Even though she was right beside him as his wife, the proprietor still hinted at wanting something with that female slave.
This experience made Luciene realize that the proprietor was not a normal person.
She became increasingly fearful of the proprietor and more desperate to escape from that home, but her fear prevented her from taking the first step to escape.
Under the domination of sadness, she could only find a moment of relaxation by constantly generating electricity, crazily generating electricity.
Generating electricity by myself is not a good thing.
Not only did she find happiness in it, but she also realized that she was a very charming woman, but only she could appreciate this charm.
Getting her thoughts together, Luciene mustered up her bravery and glared intensely at Loria.
"This is my own business, no need for you to interfere!"
Loria shook her head gently, "Madam, let me tell the truth. Your charisma is captivating, but I stopped you not to force you to do anything for me. My actual goal is your husband. I want to kill him."
Luciene's eyes narrowed, and she forced herself to remain calm, "If you want to kill him, just go ahead. What's the point of involving me? Are you suggesting you want to use me as a hostage? Well, you're mistaken."
"Just a fake married couple, I understand." Loria laughed, "I want to kill him, but I can't just kill him easily. He has done despicable things that make people sick. I want to find evidence of his wrongdoing first, and then send him on his way."
Luciene gently parted her cherry lips.
Before even a syllable could come out, Loria spoke again.
"Although the lady and the proprietor don't have a good relationship, she should still know where he hides the letters he uses to communicate with outsiders."
Luciene nibbled her lip gently and asked, "Why should I help you?"
Loria said, "Because the lady has been wanting to leave the proprietor for a long time, and this is her chance."
Luciene's lips tightened more and more, as if she was about to bite them until they bled.
Suddenly, Loria stepped back, leaving enough space for her, which made her freeze in place.
"I am not here to force the lady, nor do I intend to put on a show in front of her using my abilities as a seer. The problem is that circumstances have changed, and I can no longer gain her trust as I did before."
In her simulation, she gained Luciene's trust through intimate encounters, and then with the assistance of the proprietor, she successfully captivated Luciene.
Now her abilities are stronger, but she has lost the same opportunity as in the simulation.
She can take the initiative to seduce Luciene, relying on her impressive charm score of 13, as well as her incredibly strong physical abilities that most women would find terrifying, she is surely able to succeed effortlessly.
But then wouldn't she become a succubus?
"I'm not a succubus, I am a Shame-Powered Female Warrior who is opposed to succubus!"
Loria whispered softly.
She calmly looked at Luciene and said, "Madam, the decision is in your hands. All I can do is assure you that you won't get hurt before me."
"！"
Loria's words completely caught Luciene off guard.
Normally, Loria should have promised her that she would never let her get hurt, but in reality, Loria only promised not to let her get hurt first.
Isn't that a rather uncertain promise?
But from another perspective, it is precisely this kind of promise that makes her feel at ease and feel the power it contains.
Do what you are capable of.
This word may sound easy, but how many people actually achieve it?
Luciene looked at Loria, who had stepped back two meters. Gradually, her chest, which had been fluctuating due to nervousness, regained its composure.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Who exactly are you, and why do you want to kill my husband?"
Loria explained, "I want to kill the proprietor because he is involved with the notorious Creek Town slave trading case from a while ago. According to the information I gathered, he is both a frequent customer of that organization and secretly helps them expand their operations. As for your question about who I am..."
She lightly wiped off the makeup on her face, revealing a face that had appeared in the mainstream newspaper of Claren City.
"I am Loria from the Creek Town Adventurers Management Guild. I, along with others, destroyed that slave trading organization. Now, in their eyes, I am a thorn that needs to be removed as soon as possible. Interestingly, in my eyes, they are just filthy mud that must be defeated!"
"Loria？"
Because Luciene's husband owned a newspaper, she also developed a habit of regularly reading newspapers, and she had a slight impression of Loria's face.
This way, we can remove the possibility that Loria is someone sent by her husband to test her.
However, Luciene still hesitated.
Can Loria really help her escape from this situation?
Upon careful consideration, it is also possible to maintain this strange marital relationship.
She doesn't necessarily need a loving partner; the strange-shaped toys she bought are enough to fulfill most of her needs, even more comprehensively than a partner.
After all, a regular partner only has two hands and one mouth, whereas the toys she bought can take care of her from head to toe.
"Well, it is indeed difficult for you, madam, to make a decision right now. You can go back and think about it. If you understand, then come and find me here."
Loria gave an address. The place it pointed to is near the hotel where she currently stays.
She has had deep conversations with Luciene, so she believes Luciene won't report her to the proprietor.
"Don't be later than the day after tomorrow, I won't stay in Claren City for too long."
Seeing Luciene nod, Loria quickly stepped aside.
She watched Luciene go far away, then walked on the streets of Claren City in the drizzle.
It was actually finding her way rather than just taking a walk.
Close to half past one, Loria returned to her place.
The guildmaster sat silently by the window, and right next to the guildmaster stood Miss Plump Sheep, who had inexplicably returned home.
After their conversation, Loria learned that Miss Plump Sheep had run away in anger.
She had originally rushed back home, wanting to share her adventure with her father, but as soon as they met, he scolded her harshly.
Besides being scolded, after enduring it, Miss Plump Sheep immediately saw her father being "intimate" with a young, beautiful woman in a white coat.
If you don't look, you won't know. But if you do look, three souls and seven spirits will leave the body.
Angry Miss Plump Sheep left without saying goodbye and ran out again.
Because she didn't know where to go, she came back to Loria and the guildmaster's place.
"Alright. Since we're all here, let's temporarily stay here."
This room is quite big, and Loria doesn't mind sharing it with Miss Plump Sheep.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Loria, who was watching the rain by the window, suddenly noticed Luciene walking alone from the nearby street.
"You've made up your mind so quickly?"
Loria thought that Mrs. Proprietor would take a day or two to show up.
But it's better to settle things early.
She immediately set off to meet Luciene.
Luciene looked at Loria walking through the rain, her expression complex.
She always felt like a bad person, agreeing to help others get rid of her husband just to escape him.
Because of these thoughts, she couldn't make up her mind when she returned home.
It wasn't until she took her toys to the bathroom to take a bath that she finally made up her mind.
Even though she was doing something enjoyable, the image of the enslaved woman locked in a cage kept coming uncontrollably to her mind. She couldn't feel any joy, only exhaustion.
"Has the lady made a decision?"
"Hmm."
Luciene let out a sigh, her charming face showing a hint of sadness.
She took out a stack of newspapers from her pocket.
"I read some reports related to the slave trafficking organization. The true situation is several times more brutal than what was reported."
"Ten times, even a hundred times."
This is a world where miracles can be created with magic.
Because of this, the outrageous things done by the people in this world far surpass what Loria had heard in her previous life.
"What do you need me to help you with?" Luciene asked.
Loria said, "Madam doesn't need to do anything else, just find the location of the hidden letters from the proprietor. After that, leave everything to me."
Luciene said, "Give me half a day."
"No problem."
Luciene came home feeling lost and disoriented.
Until now, she still felt like everything that happened today was like a dream.
Should she escape the bondage or be killed by her husband if the truth is revealed?
With a very conflicted mood, Luciene lay down on the bed. All she wanted was to have a good sleep for now.
But in the end, she couldn't fall asleep.
The owner came back angrily from outside, kicked her bedroom door, and started yelling at her outside the door.
The main point is blaming Luciene for making her own decisions and discussing the trade with Loria, completely ignoring him.
"Don't show your face outside anymore, it's just embarrassing!"
"..."
Luciene giggled and showed an unexpected calmness.
After being scolded by her husband, she not only didn't feel sad, but her mood also became lighter.
She waited until evening, until the proprietor stumbled out of the house, and Luciene immediately took action.
She knew where those letters were hidden, but she never dared to touch them on ordinary days.
But now she no longer had any concerns.
When the time reached midnight, Luciene, who had freshened up her appearance, placed the stolen letters in a bag and anxiously awaited Loria's arrival at the door.
Waiting left and right, unable to see anyone, she almost thought Loria wouldn't come.
When she saw that petite figure appear in the garden, she immediately stood up excitedly and opened the door.
"You finally came!"
Luciene delicately brushed the strands of hair by her temple, her face flushed with redness, overcome with embarrassment.
She had a feeling that she wasn't really making a trade with Loria, but instead indulging in a secret affair on a rainy night.
Actually, having a secret affair was quite nice. Loria's face and figure were exactly what she liked.
As Luciene walked up to Loria, she couldn't resist quietly taking a sniff.
"All the letters you wanted are here."
"That's great!"
Loria excitedly hugged Luciene.
Listening to the gentle sound of the raindrops, feeling the tenderness on her chest, Luciene's head felt dizzy.
"Is there... anything else you want me to do? I can do anything."
"For now, this is enough!"
Loria smiled happily.
With this evidence, along with what they would get from the secret base, it would be enough to completely ruin the reputation of the finance minister and his team.
"Just wait to meet your doom!"
She carefully folded the letter and then said goodbye to Luciene.
The next day, early in the morning, Loria deliberately bought a copy of Claren Late Night News, and indeed, her interview from yesterday was published in the newspaper.
Creek Town was hit by a wave of monsters. These monsters were orchestrated by the Hidden Leader organization, whose true goal was the Hollow Stone.
A series of secrets were revealed, causing a great sensation in Claren City. In the afternoon, the news reached the ears of the Hidden Leader members, who knew that the war had to be initiated early.
"Since the news is already out, the proprietor is no longer useful. It's time to close the trap."
Before starting to follow the proprieter, Loria opened the simulator and decided to simulate again.
[Life Simulator is now open]
