A Destained Young Master Villain
Chapter 60 Request Of Crystal

While Zen was fighting a bunch of beasts, he caught a glimpse of the three.

He cautiously retreated and positioned himself beside the Professor. "Professor Hawkin, right?" he questioned.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Mind taking over for a moment?"

Hawkin was watching from the sidelines, alert for any potential surprise attacks from other beasts, so he was a little perplexed by his request as Zen's battle was going along smoothly.

"Look over there," he said as Zen pointed in a certain direction. "Coincidentally, my friends are here too. I'm going to see how they are doing."

Hawkin directed his gaze towards the indicated direction, and, indeed, he saw three individuals who appeared to be of the same age as Zen.

Upon witnessing this, he consented to temporarily assume Zen's responsibilities of holding off the group of beasts, thereby enabling Zen to engage in a conversation with his alleged 'friends'.

Zen approached the trio, who were likewise directing their gaze towards him.

When Edward saw him coming, he displayed an air of caution. He appears to be wary of him, thinking of him as bad news.

He stepped forward, with the two girls positioned behind him in an attempt to shield them.

"Hey damn, why are you being so cautious? I'm just trying to see if you guys are ok, since you all seem to be injured."

"Y-you are Zenryx Raverdieu, right?" Crystal said her voice was tremulous, and she emerged from behind Edward and uttered, "You're the one who saved me back then at the Twilight Zone."

"Hmm?" Zen acted like he was thinking hard and trying to remember. "Ah! You're that girl back then that was surrounded by a bunch of Cerberum."

"Yes, yes," Crystal said while uncontrollably nodding her head .

Eliza stepped out from behind, also asking if they knew each other.

Seeing another girl step out, Zen glanced at her and pondered, 'This should be the successor of that Emperator huh.'

[Hey Destiny, is it possible to kill this Edward right now? He seems hella weak, and there shouldn't be any issue with killing him. It wouldn't be like those novels where some expert suddenly appears just right before I kill him, right?] Zen said in his mind, questioning his system as he shifted his focus to Edward.

[β–Ό Host, you have the liberty to proceed as you wish, although be advised that there will be repercussions as a result of your action.]

[Consequence?]

[β–Ό Given that the current plot centers around this character named Edward, it will inevitably impact the entirety of the storyline. For instance, the series of calamities that Edward would encounter individually in the times ahead would commence simultaneously.]

[Hmm, interesting. So what do you suggest?]

[β–Ό Of course, the resolution of this issue will be attained upon the implementation of system update 3.0.]

[There's such a thing?]

Seeing that Zen was silently just standing. Edward spoke, breaking out of Zen's thought. "Hey! What are you staring at?!"

"My bad, anyway, do you all need some help?"

"Why would we need yo-" Edward's words were cut off when Crystal suddenly spoke, "Yes, and can I talk to you privately for a moment? I need to ask you something."

"Yeah, sure, go ahead."

Crystal discreetly pulled Zen's wrist, pulled him to the side, and asked, "Do you still have that amethyst earring?"

"Ah, so you figured out that it was me who took it, huh? I do have it, but why do you ask." Zen asked her curiously with a gentle smile on his face.

Crystal avoided looking directly into his eyes and spoke in a nervous manner, fidgeting as she twined her fingers through a lock of her hair. "Umm, y-you should know that there's a restriction to those earrings that makes you unable to use it"

"Seeing how you bid for it back at the action for like what ten million? Isn't that too excessive?"

"So?"

"Well, I can help you activate it in one condition."

"Condition?"

"Do you know about the Doom Order?"

"I am from the Raverdieu family; of course I know of them. Who do you think destroyed half of their organization."

"Yes! About that, you know that we are from the Velart family, right? And that the reason for my family's destruction is caused by them."

"So in exchange for activating that artifact, is it possible to ask you to avenge my family in the future? It doesn't have to be right now, but in the future."

Zen pondered the matter momentarily. Indeed, he had previously entertained the notion that the beast outbreak was linked to the Guild Hunter Association, and he was also aware of Wardens affiliation with the Doom Order.

So he planned to start his investigation with the Doom Order. This was simply killing two birds with one stone, but he was a businessman, so he wanted to kill three birds with one stone.

"Ehh, But what if I don't want to?"

"Well…"

Crystal actually understood why he just disagreed since this was the Doom Order after all. Although it may have been an easy task for the Raverdieu family to eliminate the Doom Order from the face of the planet, it would still require some effort.

So she understood that she had to give something to him at least, for him to take her request into consideration. But if she could hear Zen's thoughts, she would think that he was too wicked and greedy.

Thinking about it Crystal couldn't think of anything that she could give Zen because, after all, this was Zen; he should be able to get pretty much everything he needed from the world since he is from the most powerful family on Planet Pontiac.

"Do you have any other conditions?" So she asked him instead.

Zen lowered his head, and his face approached Crystal's. Seeing this, her limbs appeared to have transformed into stubborn statues, refusing to budge a single inch.

Believing that Zen intended to kiss her, she proceeded to close her eyes, not refusing him at all.

But then she felt his warm breath on her ear and thought that she had misunderstood his gesture.

Subsequently, Zen whispered something closely in her ear, causing her to lower her head and her face to flush red like a tomato.
