A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

After all, sharing hardships is often the fastest way to improve a relationship. He wanted to seize this opportunity to make a lasting impression on this young lady. He had made a point of not hiding his voice in front of her.

“Arcquet, you go back to the Azazel Clinic and inform Grandpa Herag about the situation up there, along with my plan. I need to stay up there to add some details to ensure the plan progresses smoothly.”

Wang Chong used the black mist to send a telepathic message to Arcueid and the others, telling them they no longer needed to wait for him at the platform.

Then, Wang Chong turned his attention to Natalia. From the perspective of the Eye of Depravity, Natalia's affection for him increased at a visible rate, until it finally stopped fluctuating after reaching 60.

Wang Chong knew that this was the greatest achievement he could make under the current perilous situation. To further penetrate the other party's inner world, he needed to completely break down their defenses.

Recalling the past, he realized that he had disguised his face and voice to save the head of the Rostov family, making the head of the family mistakenly believe that it was Boris's men who had saved his life.

Now, the Rostov family's residence is engulfed in flames, all to cover up their true whereabouts. Natalia, the family heir, is clearly unaware of all this.

Therefore, Wang Chong quickly came up with a plan and prepared to take the next step.

“There are practically no patrols outside anymore. Let’s go out now and find a suitable house. I’ll set your leg back up, and then we’ll see if we can escape the inner city.”

Wang Chong glanced at the commotion outside and then spoke.

“Mmm…” Natalia nodded slightly.

Then Wang Chong broke through the wall, hugged Natalia who was clinging to him like a koala, repaired the wall, and then leaped into a seemingly deserted, abandoned courtyard.

Wang Chong patted Natalia on the back, signaling her to get down. Natalia then blushed and climbed off Wang Chong.

Wang Chong gently helped Natalia lie down, then asked her to lift her fractured right leg and place it on his thigh. Natalia hesitated for a moment, but eventually went along with it, pressing her fleshy calf onto Wang Chong's thigh.

Wang Chong reached down to Natalia's feet and took off her boots. This action made Natalia blush, as it was extremely embarrassing.

Natalia could only cover her mouth with her fingers to prevent herself from making strange noises out of shame.

Wang Chong stroked the ankles clad in black stockings, feeling the superior quality of the fabric. It had protected her legs very well, leaving no bloodstains from her previous run and fall. He could only conclude that she was indeed a pampered young lady; the materials she used were of the finest quality.

Unfortunately, the fall had torn many areas, revealing patches of white skin.

After enjoying the view for a while, Wang Chong didn't forget his work. He said softly, "Be prepared, it might hurt a little."

"Goo-"

"Waaah!"

Natalia felt that piercing pain return to her injured calf. Fortunately, having endured pain before, she had developed a certain pain threshold and managed to bear it.

"Okay, the bone is set, but you can't get on the ground or do strenuous exercise right away."

As Wang Chong spoke, he began massaging the area where Natalia had just fractured her bone, helping her relieve the pain.

Natalia felt the other person's thick palm rubbing her ankle, and a strange feeling rose in her body, making her shy at the same time, and her body was also faintly hot.

Therefore, Natalia lowered her head, not daring to look Wang Chong in the eye, and thanked him, saying, "Th...thank you."

"It's alright, we've only met by chance, and I just happened to lend a hand." Wang Chong said nonchalantly, "Judging from your appearance, you must be a student, right? I remember that all the middle school students in our city were moved to Peterheim High School for closed management, weren't they?"

“I…I’m from the inner city, so I have one chance a month to go home and visit my family. I was just about to go home today, and then…”

Natalia explained.

"I see... Well, your luck really isn't that good." After saying this, Wang Chong simply pressed down on Natalia's right leg slowly, without continuing, as if deliberately keeping Natalia in suspense.

"Um...may I ask what exactly happened in the inner city? Why are those soldiers acting so recklessly?"

Clearly, the continued silence might have made Natalia uneasy, or perhaps Wang Chong had truly piqued her interest; in any case, Natalia immediately spoke up and asked.

"Why do you think I'm the kind of person who would know these reasons?" Wang Chong looked at Natalia and asked abruptly.

"Because...because you look very powerful. To possess such Originium Arts, and you don't seem like an Infected...so..."

Natalia couldn't articulate a specific logic, but her intuition told her that the man in front of her might know something, because she subconsciously believed that he was omnipotent.

Now, she can only place her hopes on the person in front of her.

Chapter 258: The Young Lady's Plea

"...I don't know the specifics. I only came to see what was going on because I heard about the commotion in the inner city."

Wang Chong did not make things difficult for Natalia, and told part of the truth about what happened that night from an ordinary investigative perspective.

"Based on my current observations, those soldiers were deliberately targeting the nobles, and specifically the emerging noble faction."

“A newly emerging noble family?! Why would they do this?!” Natalia exclaimed.

"Heh, isn't that obvious? Those armies follow the lead of the old noble faction. Isn't this just a simple struggle between two major factions?" Wang Chong shook his head and chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Natalia fell silent, a rare occurrence for her. As the heir to the family fortune, she was naturally aware of the factional struggles. However, she never imagined that the other side would use such a bloody and violent method to slaughter her newly ascended noble faction.

Did his father and mother also suffer such a terrible fate?

Thinking of this, Natalia trembled with fear, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

Wang Chong naturally noticed Natalia's state. He knew very well that after his leading answer, she must have thought about her parents' current situation.

I just don't know if this girl will actually bring it up.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be doing well?" Wang Chong asked.

“I…” When Natalia heard Wang Chong’s question, she subconsciously wanted to ask the man in front of her for help, but reason told her that since they had no relatives or friends, why should the other party take this risk?

It's already a rare privilege to save one's own life, let alone to risk having someone risk going back into the enemy's encirclement to rescue their parents.

However, as children, how could they knowingly miss the opportunity to save their parents?

Natalia bit her lower lip. She understood that if she needed this man's help, she would have to give something in return. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and as a noblewoman, she knew all too well that human relationships were of paramount importance.

Looking at Natalia's expression, which seemed to reveal her true feelings, Wang Chong's opinion of Natalia rose considerably.

"Well, once she's calmed down, at least she's not like those stereotypical arrogant and domineering young ladies who just boss me around asking them to save her parents. She even knows how to consider the success of things and how to persuade me."

Wang Chong thought to himself. Of course, it was also possible that her previous experiences had completely shattered this young lady's perception of her own status. It made her realize that not everything could be done based on her current noble status, especially now that her family was being purged.

Not long after, Natalia suddenly pulled her leg out of Wang Chong's hand, and then kowtowed to Wang Chong in the dogeza posture that is only found in the Eastern Kingdom, saying, "I... I want to ask you, after you take me out, could you do me a favor!"

"Help? Help with what?" Wang Chong asked knowingly. (You Lin, I think you're too busy...)

"I...I want to beg you, please save my parents," Natalia said through gritted teeth, finally pleading with Wang Chong.

Time ticked by, but Wang Chong didn't respond immediately. Natalia remained kneeling with her head down, not daring to do anything that might displease him.

"Judging from your school uniform, you must have been a student at No. 4 Middle School before, right?" Wang Chong suddenly asked.

“Eh…yes…” Natalia was taken aback, then admitted it.

"Heh, that's right. Only noble ladies like you are qualified to go to No. 4 High School, and wear such exquisite school uniforms. Judging from this, your parents must be members of the emerging aristocracy."

Wang Chong chuckled lightly, but his tone quickly turned cold. Natalia, clearly sensing the change in Wang Chong's tone, quickly replied:

“I…I know this request is unreasonable. But my father is the head of the Rostov family. If you can save him, my father will surely reward you handsomely!”

"Moreover, I will be extremely grateful for your life-saving grace... I will be the sole heir of the Rostov family in the future, and after inheriting the family business, I am willing to give one-fifth of the Rostov family's profits... No! One-quarter of the profits earned will be given to you, sir."

"stop."

However, Wang Chong interrupted Natalia's promise, shaking his head and saying:

"Let's not even talk about how worthless your noble promises are. Let me ask you this: since you are well aware that this time it is your newly emerging noble family that is suffering, what makes you think that your father and you can offer a sufficiently generous return?"

"In my opinion, this is just an empty promise. Ha, I must say, you are indeed a noble lady. You are quite outstanding, already showing signs of those qualities."

"No, sir, that's not what I meant at all."

Sensing the sarcasm in Wang Chong's words, Natalia abruptly raised her head and frantically tried to explain:

“I am truly grateful for your kindness. There is absolutely no falsehood in my heart! I, I am even relying on you for my own survival, so how could I dare to deceive you?”

"Moreover, although the family has suffered such a great calamity, its network of connections is still intact, and the family has many branches in other cities in Ursus. As long as people get out alive, there will definitely be a chance to make a comeback."

"Moreover, with your abilities, sir, there is no need to worry that my father and I would break our promise to you. Not to mention in times of crisis, even in ordinary times, when we encounter a strong person like you, sir, we would only try to befriend you. How could we possibly break our promise and dare to offend you?"

"You want to take our lives as easily as our family makes gold coins. Sir, this is not an empty promise, but a real commitment to treat you as an honored guest."

Her words had almost exhausted Natalia's thoughts; this was the only argument she could think of that could persuade the other party.

"Ah, what an articulate girl. Your father must be proud to have a daughter like you."

Hearing Wang Chong's tone soften considerably, Natalia was overjoyed, knowing things were looking promising, and quickly asked, "Then, sir, have you agreed?"

However, Wang Chong still shook his head, which made Natalia's heart tighten again, and she said:

"Or is there something else you need? Please feel free to ask, and our family will definitely do what we can to make it happen!"

“That’s not the issue, Miss. And if I’m not mistaken about what those soldiers were saying before I saved you, your family was already finished…” Wang Chong slowly uttered words as powerful as thunder, striking Natalia heavily.

“Wh...what?” Natalia asked incredulously.

"The Rostov family was completely destroyed by fire. The fire is still burning, and the soldiers dare not approach it," Wang Chong said slowly.

"This...this is impossible! This can't be real! It can't be real!"

Natalia shook her head repeatedly upon hearing the devastating news.

"...If you don't believe me, there is a tall building nearby that can survey the inner city. You'll see the direction then."

Wang Chong spoke slowly.

"Please, take me there!" Natalia pleaded, clutching Wang Chong's trouser leg as if grasping at a straw.

“Okay, then I’ll give you a ride this time.” With that, Wang Chong took Natalia’s hand and started walking outside.

……

Because higher ground was often controlled by the military and used as key reconnaissance locations, Wang Chong managed to take down quite a few Ursus soldiers along the way.

Fortunately, the number of units deployed was not large, and each time he quickly and quietly ended the battle, so no one knew that they were there for the time being.

Wang Chong took the binoculars from the unconscious scout and handed them to Natalia, then said, "Go and see. Even if the truth may be very cruel."

Natalia trembled as she grabbed the binoculars and looked in the direction she remembered.

Soon, a sobbing sound came, with the person muttering things like "This isn't real." Natalia's body began to sway, and then she suddenly collapsed, clearly unable to bear the blow of the truth any longer.

Wang Chong immediately helped Natalia up and found that she had fainted from excessive grief.

"That makes it convenient for me to take it with me."

Wang Chong used black mist to cover Natalia's face, keeping her in a deep sleep. Then, he leaped into the air, transforming into a cloud of black mist, and left the inner city. He found an empty house in the outer city and placed Natalia on the bed.

Wang Chong then removed the black mist, allowing Natalia to awaken from her coma.

"Ugh... Father! Mother!!" Natalia jolted awake from her nightmare, jolting herself out of bed.

When she saw the unfamiliar surroundings, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Where...is this place?

"This is already the outer city."

A familiar voice sounded from the doorway, and Natalia felt a sense of relief. She looked at the man in the doorway and listened to his reply:

“You were overwhelmed with emotion and passed out. So I simply took you and escaped from the inner city.”

"As for the promises you made before, there's no need for them. I was planning to bring you out anyway. However, please accept my condolences. Your parents are gone, and you will have to live on your own from now on."

"Also, here's a piece of advice: you'd better take off those clothes and change into civilian attire. And don't even think about going back to school, because it's very likely that the children of those nobles who were wiped out will be taken away from the school."

"After all, if I were the garrison commander, I would certainly not hesitate to eliminate them completely."

"So, from now on, you'll change your identity and struggle to survive under a completely new name... Whether you want to revive your family or seek revenge, the prerequisite for both is that you have to survive."

"After all, if I were the garrison commander, I would certainly not hesitate to eliminate them completely."

"So, from now on, you'll change your identity and struggle to survive under a completely new name... Whether you want to revive your family or seek revenge, the prerequisite for both is that you have to survive."

After saying this, Wang Chong stopped leaning against the door and turned to leave.

"Wait...wait! Where are you going?"

Natalia was clearly still reeling from Wang Chong's words, but when she saw him preparing to leave, her heart tightened as if she had lost someone she could rely on for safety, and she quickly asked.

Chapter 259: I'm willing to give everything

“What I’m about to do isn’t something I can do with you anymore. Stay here until dawn, then leave on your own.” After saying this, Wang Chong prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Just then, Wang Chong heard a "thump" behind him. Without even looking, he knew it was Natalia kneeling down again, pleading for him.

"Please, don't leave me here alone."

"Why are you doing this? To put it bluntly, you have no strength. Even if I take you with me, you'll only be a burden. Besides, as I just said, what I'm about to do is extremely dangerous. Don't think that following me will give you a better chance of survival."

Wang Chong spoke slowly.
