Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain-Chapter 331 The literally oversmart Amaya
Chapter 331 The literally oversmart Amaya
After making a deal with Kevin, the idiot had him swear a couple of oaths on the name of Gods of businesses and dealers of truth, marking them as their witness that no one between them should break the rules, or they'll be punished by the aforementioned gods.
The oaths like these aren't just random promises and pinky swears, but something spoken and signed on the contract of honesty made through the churches of said gods.
Breaking these contracts meant sullying the name of that God and the church who issued these oath letters would know your sin and hold you responsible for blasphemous punishment.
As anyone can guess these things are extremely rare, and not something just anyone can take out at will, or order with money - how did Kevin get it, well no need to doubt since he's one lucky bastard, and found it on some roadside auction stall, or the dead body of some random bandit.
Kevin made sure to add dozens of conditions thinking of every possible loophole the masked man could use to harm him or Levi in the future.
Making sure the masked man wouldn't kill Levi, control her, alter her memories aside from this event or do anything else that can harm him or her in any way.
Rio quite literally yawned while he kept nodding his head without even listening to Kevin's words. His lackluster attitude did make Kevin feel a little relief thinking it was as the goddesses said, and this man was just here to help him to return a favor for Loki.
As for why Loki wanted to help him all of a sudden, Kevin couldn't guess. As he lacked the luxury of time to think over it clearly for now.
After a long long while
Rio and Kevin walked towards the nursing room, where Levi was resting. Though there were a few guards patrolling, and some extra staff cleaning the space for tomorrow's party here and there, but both of them had enough means to hide their breath from miscellaneous people.
Not to mention some students who were drunk and not clear in head were still roaming around or sleeping in weird corners, puking their lungs out. Making Rio's disguise much less attention seeking than it was.
"Remember the oath, or know your consequences." Kevin said and opened the door and walked a little close to the bed of his shadow and stood there.
Watching her peacefully sleeping with that worryfree look, Kevin sat beside her and held her hand. "Everything will be fine, Levi. Just as it was before." He muttered with slow breath, afraid any noise might wake her up.
Rio looked at Levi, and her entire plotline once again played like a movie in front of his eyes.
'System, let's do it.' He gave a command to his system as he placed his hand over the unconscious girl and chanted some jibberish.
Levi, who was fast asleep, frowned her brows as she felt a sting of memories in her mind, but with how Kevin drugged her to sleep for this spell to work, she couldn't wake up.
Rio could've simply controlled Levi with the means of his system, but doing it like this with Kevin's help felt more exciting. Just the thought of how Kevin would come to regret this decision and hate himself for everything was much more interesting to watch.
After all, from his personal experience hating himself hurts a million times worst than hating someone else.

"Is it done?" Kevin said, when the masked man finally took his hand away, and the shinning light disappeared from the room. freew ebnove l.com
"It's done. The roles are reversed in her mind now. She'll definitely fall in love with her savior." The masked man said and jumped through the window, disappearing in the night of darkness.
As Rio's feet landed on the empty pathways of the night, he threw the mask and the cloak called 'hide of theft' in his storage and started walking back to his room while humming a song to himself.
[Poor him. Why'd you even lie.] System asked, once Rio was alone. [She'll forever be changed.]
"What poor him, If not for the slave mark he has over Levi, and his own permission I wouldn't be able to do this on my own at all." Rio said, disregarding Kevin's brains. "Not to mention, I just did what should've happened in the novel anyway."
"A bad plot or event for Levi, which would awaken her true personality and turn her into a bad bitch. If anything, I was generous enough to give her the command to fall in love with her savior."
[Before you gave the command that reversed the roles. Meaning she might fall for her REAL savior too.]
"Ohh well, the order's mixed up but I did what I swore an oath for. Fault is his for trusting Loki and my help lol." Rio chuckled and walked away, until he saw someone standing there in his path.
'Amaya..' Rio muttered looking at her, as a bad premonition came to his brain.
"So, you already got him huh." She said, walking towards him. "I guess I was late."
"Or just waiting for me?" He replied.
Her words got Rio thinking that he should've known Amaya would come here to control or blackmail Kevin as soon as possible once she got a handle on him. It was just her sharp nature to take advantage of everyone and anyone she could.
And since she already figured out Kevin's actions earlier tonight, there was no way she was late. She was right on time, when and where she wanted to be.
'She just gave up on Kevin to get to me. What a smart bitch.' Rio couldn't help but praise and curse her at the same time.
(Clearly whoever said dealing with smart people is easy, never met anyone smarter than him.)
Amaya chuckled and didn't answer, instead she just asked him another question. "Tell me, what did you get from him? Is it a favor, an artifact, any info...."
Seeing Amaya throwing out guesses one by one recording his reaction to her eyes, Rio just directly interrupted her. "Nothing. I just helped the guy since someone else said so."
"Is that so?" Amaya raised her eyebrows, trying to read his expressions before asking another question "Then tell me, why did you poison him in the first place? The dress of a waiter really doesn't suit the son of a Duke, don't you think?"
Rio looked at her for some time, not sure if she actually saw him at that time, or was she just shooting blind, trying to see through his emotions or expressions.
And just as he thought, system explained.
[She's lying. She was with Valtor at that time.]
'fuck' Rio cursed himself for believing this literally oversmart heroine and explained "I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Don't you now? Interesting." Amaya muttered under her breath and kept watching his face, then in another second later, a silver dot of light shone deep in her eyes as she asked her next question. "Then just answer my curiosity. Why do you hate Kevin and his shadow? What's the reason for choosing them out of everyone else you could've found to blame the poor ranker."
"Again, I don't know what you're talking about." Rio said, but Amaya ignored his words and continued on with her guesses.
"Maybe it's cause you hate Leon, but that's unlikely, since you never met the guy before academy. As for his ranking and strength,well the difference is pitiful to perfection,so that can't be.
Is it cause you just want to trouble his sister over what happened and taking it out on him? or is it cause of that girl whom you're wandering around these days, according to rumors she was supposed to be his fiance.
Or maybe for all of these reasons, and that's why first the auction clip and now this. Going quite hard on ruining his reputation, are you?"
"Maybe I just don't like his face. Or maybe I just hate the righteousness he acts upon, or maybe I'm a psychopath, pulling on people for fun to keep myself entertained. - Cooking up weird theories is easy, Amaya. It's a children's game. Grow up, and go back, lest Valtor follows you here." Rio said and disappeared from his place.
Not in the mood to tell anything to this weird heroine any longer.
'Smart people sometimes are a pain to deal with.'
[She doesn't have any proof, she was just guessing wildly.]
'Well the fact that her guesses are close to the truth, is what makes her dangerous.' Rio said, shaking his head.
As he left Amaya on the other hand, just stood there and closed her eyes. Her mind calmed and just like a reverse button on TV had been pressed, all the conversation she had just noa, started playing from beginning again. Obviously with extra zoomed in focus on Rio.
Finally after just standing there for several minutes, going through everything she noticed about them in this one month, she opened her eyes..
"So you hate all of them , is that it." She said and smiled like she finally found a piece of puzzle she was looking for.
But obviously this one conclusion wasn't enough for her and she asked herself the next question. "But why? What's the reason?"
But before she had more time to think about it or do another mental dive of hers, Valtor's voice broke her thoughts and pulled her out.
"What are you doing here?" He asked and looked around the empty garden.
"Well, I just needed some air." Amaya replied and started walking. "Come lets' take a walk."
