My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Chris lay by the bed, staring blankly at him.

"Wayne, have you already fallen for Tasia?" she suddenly asked.

Ok? ? ?

Wayne opened his eyes and stared at her in astonishment.

Those once bright and lively eyes now seemed to be veiled in mist.

Why do you ask that?

“Because of Wayne, I’ve been going to the library a lot lately,” she said.

"Even in the drama club, he would talk about Tasia with others behind my back... and even said he wanted to go on a date with her."

...So you did hear what you and Lawrence were saying in the drama club that day?

fair enough.

“Yeah, I’m a womanizer,” Wayne said with a wry smile. “So it’s normal that Chris can’t accept me like this.”

It's best to end a relationship that has no future.

Her expression was a faint smile, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"It's so strange that you have to accept someone's feelings immediately as soon as you confess them... Why do you change your mind so easily?"

My stomach hurts so much.

“Because…” Wayne said sullenly, “This is not the gentle and kind person I appear to be; this is the real me.”

"You—you're absolutely terrible."

“Yes, I’m terrible,” Wayne admitted.

“However…” Chris said, “I might be terrible too…maybe even worse than you.”

So now we're competing to see who's worse?

Chris picked up her pillow and stood up.

"Thank you for your honesty."

She knelt on one knee by the bed, leaned in, and gently kissed Wayne's lips.

A few strands of brilliant and dazzling golden hair swept across Wayne's neck.

Sweet dreams tonight.

With those words, Chris turned and left his room.

The door was closed gently.

He stared blankly, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

……

In the dead of night, countless evils are hidden in the darkness.

Inside an abandoned warehouse, four people were plotting something.

"Target Three: The city guard commander, eliminate him."

On the already dilapidated table, a map encompassing the entire capital city was spread out.

"Next target..."

One of the men, who looked to be over fifty, seemed to hold a slightly higher position than the other three, and he was the only one speaking at the table.

“Mr. Ross…” one of them finally couldn’t help but ask.

"Why didn't that sir kill Chris Wincher as originally planned?"

Mr. Ross stared intently at the young man who had asked the question for a moment with his calm and deep eyes.

After a long silence, he said, "That lord has his own considerations, and we subordinates don't need to question them."

The only woman among the four sneered, "It's already a dereliction of duty on our part to make the master take action himself... Hal, if you were truly loyal, you should have done it yourself."

The young man named Hal glared angrily at the woman next to him.

“Enough,” Mr. Ross frowned. “This is not the time for such nonsense.”

He said, "I've already shifted the city guards' attention to that mysterious woman, Echos, hoping to buy some time. After we finish our next target, we'll leave the capital and lie low for a while."

As soon as Ross finished speaking, another unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out from the window.

"Since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

His expression changed. "Who!"

Outside the window, a figure draped in a black cloak sat sideways on a peculiar wooden stick floating in mid-air.

The top of the wooden stick was twisted into a ring, with dazzling points of light gathered in the center, where powerful magical elements converged.

"You are—?" Ross asked incredulously, "The mysterious Aikos?"

Yes, this uninvited guest, draped in a black cloak with only a glimpse of his white chin visible—

It was Wayne.

Due to Ekos's extremely elusive whereabouts and his unusual way of using magic, he has been given various special titles by people from all walks of life.

"I don't know why you're so confident?" He laughed coldly. "You committed a bloody crime under my name, and you still dare to stay in the capital?"

Ross, as if facing a formidable enemy, swallowed hard.

He protested, “Lady Aikos, we had no intention of offending you. The assassinated city guard commander deserved it all; he had committed numerous atrocities in secret to gain the king’s trust!”

“If you are interested, we can provide you with a copy of the evidence that he was involved in human trafficking.”

If the difference in strength hadn't been so great, leaving him utterly powerless, he wouldn't have so rashly revealed these crucial clues.

Ross watched the mysterious woman floating in mid-air with bated breath.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend... As long as she also harbors resentment towards those nobles in the capital, there is a great chance she can win them over.

Aikos remained silent for a moment.

"Evidence? Is it entirely true?"

"Of course!" Ross said without any hesitation, seeing a glimmer of hope. "Once it's made public, that Commander-in-Chief will be utterly disgraced!"

"However, because his actions were tacitly approved by the king, no one investigated his crimes; instead, they covered them up for him. In the past decade, how many children have disappeared without a trace in the capital! He is undoubtedly behind it all."

Chapter 128 Aikos Reappears

The middle-aged man in front of me, whose hair was already showing signs of gray, rambled on and on. In his words, the commander of the city guard was honored to have died.

“But,” Aikos said, “you killed him not because of these crimes, right?”

Ross's rambling words came to an abrupt halt.

The abandoned warehouse fell into an unspeakable silence.

"If you don't want to tell the truth, then go and keep that commander company."

The tip of the strange wooden staff suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the previously dim warehouse interior as if it were daytime.

"...Lady Aikos!" Ross said in a deep voice, "What is your impression of the Duchy of Milstein?"

Principality of Millistan?

Wayne recalled that rainy night many years ago, and the baron with a terrified expression, shouting "Don't kill me!"

"What impression can a country that has already been destroyed leave?" he asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with graying hair revealed a hint of hatred, "Yes, it has already been swallowed up."

"But! That war began with betrayal and lies!"

"If the previous King of Lornes hadn't deceived Grand Duke Laird's friendship, the outcome wouldn't have been like this!"

Wayne stared at him indifferently. "So, you are the remnants of Millistan's homeland?"

No wonder the Duke of Winchester's mansion and Chris were also their targets.

“That’s right!” He first smiled fiercely. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to let us go. We are just a few nobodys. Even if we die, it won’t affect the overall goal of revenge.”

Then, he said in a deep voice, "However, if you also intend to overturn the current political situation in the capital..."

“I think you can at least gain friendship from the southwestern border, from an entire front.”

Southwest of the former territory of the Principality of Milistan lies the Endless Mountains, an area even larger than the original principality, where many adventurers explore secret realms and dig for treasures.

Beyond the endless mountains lies the endless sea, whose edge is said to be unexplored to this day.

According to ancient legends, whoever can reach the end of the Endless Sea will be able to find the Elf race, who have disappeared from this continent.

However, none of the fleets that were truly dedicated to exploring the frontiers ever returned.

The people there come and go in a very complex way. The huge mobility of adventurers makes it difficult to determine their identities, and there is no grassroots organization to manage people. The real people in charge are the leaders of various gangs.

The entire border region is a true lawless zone.

It seems that the stronghold of these survivors may be hidden within some gang.

Due to the closed nature of the aristocratic circles in the capital, most noble children indulged in pleasure every day and had little interest in learning about what was happening in the outside world. The most talked-about places about the lives of commoners on the border were actually the various theaters where all sorts of fabricated stories were staged.

If Wayne hadn't been spending the last few days frantically studying at the library, he probably wouldn't know those places so well.

This world is far more vast than I imagined.

“Then, give me the evidence of that commander’s crimes,” he said.

Ross's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

He immediately retrieved a scroll from a hidden compartment beneath the broken table and handed it to Echo.

Wayne casually flipped through it, then put it away.

"While I vehemently condemn those who abduct children, you vicious criminals who drag innocent people into your revenge are equally unforgivable," he said.

In the Cirque du Soleil incident, it wasn't just the city guard commander and his family who died.

"Let the laws of the kingdom punish you."

Ross's expression changed.

"boom--"

In one corner of the royal city, a huge light illuminated the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Countless people were awakened from their sleep, put on their coats, and looked out of their windows in the direction of the explosion.

The enormous characters remained suspended in mid-air, lingering for a long time.

[Aikos has already judged the sins here.]

Almost half of the people in the capital saw these words.

When the city guards rushed to the scene, they found only four unconscious people with bruises on their faces, and half of the evidence of the previous city guard commander's crimes was on the table.

[New Commander: This is my genuine handwritten letter. Wishing you good health.]

Furthermore, if the crimes of the previous commander-in-chief cannot be investigated, I will personally visit him another day with the other half of the incriminating evidence.

Looking at the letter, which was signed only with "X" (Note ①), Bulwer fell into a long silence.

……

"I heard that the Cirque du Soleil massacre wasn't committed by the mysterious Aikos..."

"Yes, yes, I heard she also exposed the previous commander of the city guard's crimes of human trafficking..."

"Lady Aikos, so full of justice, is truly admirable..."

When they returned to the academy, new rumors began to circulate.

In the words of those girls, Aikos had already transformed into a champion of justice walking in the darkness.

Some even say that Aikos has actually been quietly saving those who suffer.

As he listened to the girls around him showering Echo with praise, Prince Richard's smile never faded.

He glanced to the side and spotted his two friends.
