My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Seeing that he was in a good mood and did not beat around the bush even in front of Tasia, but explained the whole story clearly, Ge Li's expression softened a little.

However, she was still very angry.

If I look away for even a second, you'll be flirting with other girls... What if I meet another girl who's interested in me? Am I supposed to share my one and only love with a third person?

The thought of that possibility made her feel very wronged.

Ge Li accepted the gift, examining it without showing any emotion, and then sarcastically remarked, "You two really are destined to meet, bumping into each other on the street."

Upon hearing this, Wayne chuckled and said, "We also bumped into each other on the street, aren't we quite destined to meet?"

It seems my most critical moment has passed...

Wayne felt a little relieved.

After comforting Geli, he looked at Tasia and apologized, "I'm sorry... Tasia, I made you feel bad."

For Tasia, who already knew that her relationship with Ge Li seemed unusual, her behavior just now could be considered solid proof.

How sad... I might end up being seen as a scumbag in Tasia's eyes too.

Wayne felt his image was crumbling little by little.

After being abruptly interrupted by Goli, Tasia had barely uttered a word the entire way. At this moment, she seemed unsure of what to say, so she simply shook her head.

However, Ge Li seemed to suddenly realize something.

She raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and took Wayne's hand again, leaning half her body against him.

"Wien~" Her voice was exceptionally sweet.

It's like she's being coquettish, but also like she's asserting her dominance.

"Let's go early, I still want to talk to you..."

On the surface, she only wanted to "talk," but her hand slid down his forearm, hooked his fingers, and drew circles in his palm.

Wayne felt itchy and wanted to break free, but he was afraid of hurting her feelings.

Is he marking himself in front of Tasia?

He awkwardly reached out and restrained her, preventing her from rubbing against him.

Undeniably, he enjoyed it.

If no one were around, he would definitely give Ge Li a good "lesson" and teach her a lesson about not being able to light a fire carelessly.

If you light it, you're responsible for putting it out.

But now it's in front of Tasia...

He was worried that she might tell Chris the secret; how could she be so careless?

Wait, could it be that she's being so bold because she knows I have reservations? When I was bothering her last night, she clearly seemed a little disgusted with me.

That's right... just as Wayne guessed.

Ge Li decided to go all out.

Whoever it is, she wants someone to reveal her and Wayne's "secret" to Chris.

It was as if Chris had formally submitted a challenge.

She was fed up with hiding behind the scenes, living in fear... even the slightest setback made her worry that her relationship with Wayne would end prematurely.

If things continue like this, perhaps Chris will never know about these feelings until the day he and Wayne end their relationship.

She doesn't want that.

Even if she loses, she wants to settle things with Chris in the duel arena, rather than hiding in the shadows and dying silently like an insect that can't see the light.

Chapter 300 He was knowingly committing a wrong.

Although it's not exactly known what's going on in Ge Li's little head.

But Wayne instinctively sensed—

This is a very bad situation.

It seems that some indescribable danger is constantly approaching their happy life.

He turned his head to look at Geli, who was standing on the same side as him and had invisibly separated himself from Tasia.

Ge Li's eyes were inexplicably filled with determination, as if he had made up his mind to create some kind of fait accompli in front of Tasia.

Wayne suddenly felt immense pressure.

The soft touch was coming from the arm she was holding in her arms...

Now, should I sneak off to spend some alone time with Tasia right in front of her?

—Isn't that a bit too much of a jerk?

Wayne finally realized this.

But... what's done is done, so why bother worrying about whether it's a jerk or not?

He smiled somewhat forlornly.

While professing a desire for the purest love, she unknowingly embarked on a one-way path to becoming a scumbag.

What should I do if Chris finds out?

Although I'm worried about this development, when that day really comes, what should I do to try my best to salvage the situation?

...I never thought of that.

They simply pinned their hopes on their own "veteran driver" level of superb driving skills.

He was simply wishfully believing that as long as he continued to give, he would surely be able to move the hurt Chris.

They even hoped that the Gerei would keep making concessions without any limits, and stay by their side peacefully without asking for anything in return...

Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on Ge Li's hand.

Was this a trap she set?

Unfortunately, I was doing it knowingly.

Wayne was about to speak.

From the other end of the dimly lit alley, a little boy's shrill scream suddenly rang out: "Help! Help—"

Before the second sentence could be finished, a muffled thud was faintly heard, and then... silence fell over the darkness.

The expressions of all three people changed simultaneously.

For some reason, Wayne felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Tasia showed a hint of anxiety and whispered to Wayne, "It looks like someone I know. I'll go see what's going on."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure shot forward like a cluster of sharp arrows, heading straight for the direction from which the sound came.

“Wait, I’ll join too.” Wayne reacted just as quickly.

Of course, he didn't forget to include Ge Li in the conversation.

Otherwise, he was still a little worried that Miss Gothel, who had inherited the arrogance of the Edgeworth family, might simply walk away indifferently. Then, he would consider his act of chasing after Tasia as his response to her.

...If that were to happen, I would be in real trouble.

Fortunately, although Ge Li seemed somewhat surprised, she did not refuse his offer to pull her along as they ran through the street. She simply reached out her other free hand and subconsciously adjusted the veil on her head.

The three figures pierced through the darkness.

The wind blew through Ge Li's obviously expensive dress, making the hem flutter and trail behind Wayne like a dazzling trail of flame.

Soon, the previously hidden corner was revealed to everyone.

Hearing the noise behind them, two young men, around twenty years old, turned around with unpleasant expressions.

Their sinister gazes first swept over the strikingly handsome faces of the three uninvited guests, then over the white doll clutched by Tasia, and lingered for a moment on the typical aristocratic attire of Ge Li before warning, "The Stone Gang is on a mission. Unauthorized personnel, get out of the way!"

At their feet lay a little boy, his forehead stained with blood, lying face up on the ground.

“Rock!” Tasia called the child’s name softly.

However, the little boy seemed to have completely lost consciousness and did not respond to Tasia's voice.

Wayne suddenly remembered that he had met this child once before, and the child had successfully left him with the impression of being a "brat".

"The Stone Gang?" he said thoughtfully. "I've only heard of the Wood Gang, which seems to have been wiped out not long ago."

Bernard, the leader of the Wood Gang, committed suicide in front of him out of guilt.

One of the slightly younger-looking men revealed a smug look upon hearing this, "Hmph, the Wood Gang has been wiped out! From now on, only the Stone Gang will be in charge of this place!"

He seemed quite proud.

While boasting about these things, he couldn't help but glance at the two girls, his intentions obvious.

Wayne gave a cold laugh.

"The person in charge? This is the capital city. The only person in charge is His Majesty the King."

He said expressionlessly, "The Wood Gang just had some trouble... It seems your Stone Gang isn't going to be left out either."

Provoked by him, the young man couldn't help but want to retort, but was pulled back by the other person next to him.

"Don't delay things!" he said lightly.

Seemingly reminded of something, the young man still looked unwilling, but he obediently shut his mouth.

"It seems this child is someone you know?" The other person's approach was clearly more experienced. He said bluntly, "This child is unruly and has offended us. Since you know him, take him away."

After saying that, he glanced at Ge Li's expensive clothes again, then turned and left as if nothing had happened.

The young man was clearly a little surprised, but he didn't slow down and followed closely behind him, wanting to leave together.

Tasia opened her mouth as if to say something.

But before she could speak, Wayne stopped them, saying, "Wait!"

Hearing his shout, the two men walked even faster, almost jogging.

Why are you running?!

A row of heavy fences appeared out of thin air, blocking their way.

Thus, the two men discovered in despair that whenever they wanted to go in a certain direction, the fence would conveniently block their way.

"So...so you're a magician..."

With no other choice, the two could only force a smile and remain motionless in place.

There's really nowhere to reason with this!

The two secretly groaned in despair.

Have magicians become so worthless in this world? You can just grab any kid off the street and they're related to a magician...

Why couldn't I meet a magician friend or relative?

Seeing that the two criminals had been brought under control by Wayne, Tasia breathed a sigh of relief.

She said to Wayne with a serious expression, "Although Rock is a little mischievous, he would never deliberately provoke those gang members."

"Therefore, I think it is necessary to wait until little Rock wakes up before asking him what exactly happened."

It was as if she was giving her own opinion, and also as if she was asking for his opinion.

"Ah, sir magician, we have other important matters to attend to. Could you please let us leave first?" The two men were trying to exonerate themselves.

"Otherwise, we can cover this young man's medical expenses..."

Ignoring them, Wayne nodded to Tasia and said, "You can do the treatment."

Chapter 301 I, No, Chris

When Tasia used her light magic to completely heal the wound on the boy named Rock's forehead, the two gang members' expressions changed from panic to ashen.

why?

Why has another magician appeared?
