Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

Chapter 305 303. Guilty conscience

"....."

The hall fell into the pin drop silence, Everyone looking at Alex with weird looks with complicated emotions on their face trying to process what he just said.

Even Amara who was unknown to the changes in her friend and was protecting Alex behind her turned around to look at him.

White here had opened her mouth so big that you could put an egg in it. Thankfully her brain did not go into the panic mode and she started bubbling stuff, Or Isabella would have lost her shit.

That said, even Isabella was uncomfortable looking at Alex. Now that she thinks about it, didn't Alex fulfill the fetish of her son eating the shoe?

Well she before thought that Alex was just retaliating, Which was justifying how her son treated him but now she had her doubts, Though she refused to admit it.

Rita here was too in shock but for different reasons, She was clutching onto Alex for protection as she was terrified of Liora.

After all, Amara left Rita alone with Liora, Of course on purpose to torture Rita, There was just one rule laid by Amara that not to kill and no visible injuries.

So this whole day was hell for Rita, Though Liora actually didn't do anything to hurt her, She might even have acted as if she did not exist at all.

But she did not allow her to enter in the kitchen and so Rita had to be hungry for the whole day as this woman refused to acknowledge her presence but also forbade her to enter in the kitchen, Where all the food was kept.

She tried many times to enter and each time she was swiftly kicked out if it was like a stray cat.

Rita was surprised how easily she able womanhandle her, and so now she is terrified of Liora as her killer instincts going off around her warning her to stay away from her.

But right now she was distracted from the fear for Liora as she put her attention on the Alex in utter shock and guilt.

Jake Weiner, The current head and Dragon Lord of the her organization, Dragon Gate.

She didn't thought Alex would know about Jake. After all, it's very recently did he took the throne of the Lord and because of the injuries he suffers, It's still kept in the dark about his information.

But Alex just uttered that name, She subconsciously felt that he took this name to inform her that he knew about her past and maybe giving her an opportunity to come clean to him.

'Maybe he is just talking about someone else, But it's better to come clean to him now then for him to find out from someone else.'

Rita shook her head and rejected the idea of Alex knowing Jake because as said before Jake's information has really been kept secret by their formal lord.

Though Gate promotes and follows the survival of the fittest law, Their formal master goes out her way to hide information about Jake and the injuries he sustained.

This dissatisfied a lot of members as it was supposed to be that everyone was for themselves even in organization, As long as they do not betray the organization or kill in clan.

They can attack other members and if they defeat them, They can take their place with the resources allocated to them.

That's why others attacked Jake to take his and enjoy his resources, It's just that he was able to beat them back.

But doing so he was very injured. How much? She didn't know that their formal master interfered and blocked all knowledge related to it.

If this was it many would have understand it and would not be dissatisfied as it's reasonable to avoid spreading news about injuries of their leader.

But then, The formal Lord pushed the boundary and forbidden anyone attacking injured Jake, And said wait till his injuries to heal to challenge him again.

This never happened before, They were allowed to attack any member in the organization even if they were injured and hence why the first attack always meant to end in failure as 2nd and 3rd attacks seal the deal.

This was the case even here, The attackers had to sacrifice so many secret treasures, tricks and get injured for life to be able to harm the S-Rank like Jake.

Yeah even though they caught Jake caught guard, He was still S-Rank and so put quite a bit of fight, But in their eyes it was worth it because now they were able to attack him and own.

But the formal master just threw cold water on their hopes and dreams by declaring that rightly others were pissed and wanted to rebel but didn't have any guts to actually go against her.

So they planned on doing it in secret, It's just the formal master already thought of that and sent Jake off somewhere else.

Only very loyal members of the Dragon gate knew about his location, And even if by chance others found it, There is fear of life for Jake as long as wearing the Dragon lord ring, He is safe.

After all rules of hierarchy are taken very seriously there, So they can challenge Jake outside and can fight the duel but Jake would have the right to command them to keep them busy, Not giving them time to regroup and attack him.

As the 2nd duel had to be properly announced and had to be notarized, Yeah her organization has many such weird rules.

Anyway, This is why Rita thinks Alex would not know about Jake because it was made sure by that woman to be secret and if she did it then there is no way Alex can know about it.

Rita tries to reason through with herself, blaming it on her guilty conscience that she starts to think Alex was talking to her.

It completely slipped through her mind that Alex already knows too much about her and so it would not be weird that he also knows about Jake, As her direct boss.

"Jake Weiner? Who is sh-he and where do I find he-er?"

Liora was the first one to break the silence and her first word was to ask him whereabouts of Jake, His so called mate.

She refused to acknowledge the gender of Jake and so ignoring that she asked about his location to beat him and win Alex for himself.

Cause that's how she know to court a man, Just go and beat the mate of the man you like and vola you have the mate of your desire.

That's how the beast does things and her being her also follows through it.

"Humm…I didn't know his current location but I think he should go to Miller house soon but I would never tell you that.

I would also never tell you that he was a formal S-Rank but got injured and currently can only use peak of B-Rank power, So it would be no trouble for you to fight.

Oh no matter how much you torture and torment me, I never let it slip that we fought in the evening and in it he had to tap into his core power damganing in thr process, So he maybe even more weaker then E or F Rank currently.

*Ahem* Wait!? You would be thinking you can now beat the mere F-Rank awakened right?

Wrong!! Hahaha he had "Wrath Of Lord" ancient artifact capable of releasing full force of the S-Rank attack, That to the attack from the S-Rank before the fall, Which said to be even more powerful than current ones.

One strike on the unprepared, unguarded S-Rank would be enough to put them out of commission or at least render them useless for time being to fight back."

Alex ignored Rita beside him and just answered Liora who was looking at him with the same intense lustful gaze wanting to devour him whole.

But he did not mind. Who would mind when he stared at such beauty?

Of course Liora is a big beauty, She is 2nd favorite of author after all, She is just 2nd only to Belladonna in beauty.

It's just she like to cover her beauty and appearance using her powers to appear as just above average looking ordinary woman to in her words "camouflage".

So her not too striking appearance, But even then she has her own charm, If not everyone in here not just ignored what she said and would have jumped up saying her unworthy or like, Especially his sister Amara.

"Ancient artifacts?!"

Liora, who was just ready to go out after hearing about the location of Jake, halted her step and turned around to look at him with surprise and shock.

She was taken aback hearing that Jake has an ancient artifact, Yeah that surprised her more than him being a guy.

Wait, don't be misunderstood that she is so progressive, She just didn't know what mates are supposed to do. All she knows to get a mate, What to do afterwards? She has no idad.

Yes, somehow in her whole life she didn't understand what mates do with each other even though she spends most of her time with beasts.

But then again, Other than saying since when did this world have proper logic, It can be excused by the fact that most beasts mating windows have a break of 200 to 300 years.

So it maybe be bearly excused by her being just an in her mid 20s, As she is not old enough to encounter it.

"Yes, His master is quite protective of him, So he has such things on him, It's just unfortunate that he had to use half power of that artifact to survive my attack, So it is no longer a threat to the S-Rank, Pity."

Alex answered Liora like he was an airhead just giving out such sensitive information without knowing.

But in his mind he was already cooking plan on how to hold a funeral for Jake.

"You….."

Liora just looked at Alex in shock trying to see if he was lying.
