Crimson Overlord

Chapter 48

Right after their teacher left, Orpheus also decided to leave; as for joining a club, he did not need something like that right now; he had other things to do.

”Let’s eat in the cafeteria.” Xiaosu proposed.

”Sorry, but I’ll pass.” Orpheus refused his offer, which angered Xiaowen, who was coming toward them.

Before the twins could say something, an unexpected voice reached their ears.

”Kyle Blake, can I have a word with you?” Ella Emea Luxiria uttered those words shocking the classroom; the classroom became silent.

”Sure.” Orpheus did not refuse and walked toward Ella, standing together with her twin’s sister Lily.

”Hmph!” Lily harrumphed when Orpheus arrived and stopped before them.

Leon and Grim were both frowning. Xiaosu was watching Ella as if his soul got stolen; this would have continued if his fiancee didn’t come forward and pinch him. Alvinia nodded, thinking even without her memories, her friend was still the same.

There was someone who was most affected by Ella calling Orpheus; it was Daniel Luxor Luxiria. His knuckles turned white from how tight his fists were clenched. At several points, he wanted to go forward and burn that man with his powerful flame but managed to stop himself in the end; however, he was already at his limit, and Leon nearby could see, he was not happy with the current situation and hoped to test this boy who came out of nowhere, he would use Daniel for this.

Leon approached Daniel and began to whisper something to him.

Meanwhile, Orpheus, who arrived before Ella, changed his expression; his face was less cold, and there was a hint of emotion inside his crimson eyes, a deep longing.

”Ella, what do you want to talk about?” He didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked.

Ella smiled; she didn’t dislike this behavior; she called him because, together with her sister, they kept getting that feeling, the feeling of being connected to this young man, and they wanted to know why.

”Kyle, have we met each other somewhere in the past?”

”Huh?”

The other students were shocked by the unexpected question; Kaguya was smiling, wondering what connection this young man had with the twins’ goddesses; as far she could remember, Ella wasn’t someone to act impulsively and approach a boy because he was a bit handsome.

”It’s possible.” Orpheus’s reply shocked them more but what he said next was most shocking.

”I can tell you more, but you will have to accept my offer?”

”Which is?” Ella subconsciously responded. She was shocked by her own behavior but it was already too late. Lily was frowning; she did not like where the conversation was going.

”Let’s me invite you to the restaurant, and we will chat,” Orpheus said with a smile; he was unbothered by the intense glares full of hatred the other students were sending him. He was lost in thoughts; back in the past, the first time he succeeded in inviting her; the conversation started like this, it was because she was curious about something. He offered to tell her only if she accepted to be invited; unexpectedly, she accepted back then.

”Sister!” Lily called out, wanting to say something, but Ella stopped and replied.

”Okay, I accept. Let’s talk about it later. You first have to take care of the incoming problem.” Ella accepted, to everyone’s shock. At the same time, she pointed at Daniel, storming over like a mad bull.

Even without looking back, Orpheus knew he was coming; he had expected something to happen the moment he walked here.

”Oh! Don’t worry; I’ll take care of him.” Orpheus replied, his back still facing Daniel; it was unknown since when Xiaosu had sneaked closer, but when their eyes met, he gave Orpheus a thumb up while mumbling.

‘As expected of my friend, you are a master. Don’t let me down; go for it.’

Orpheus chuckled, finding Xiaosu interesting; he was interested in the twin’s goddesses, especially Ella but gave up when he saw he had no chance with her, the primary reason must be because he already had a fiancee, but that alone wouldn’t have stopped him, as a future emperor he could have more than one wife. The reason he decided to stop pursuing Ella was because he knew he could never make her look at him the way he wanted, so rather than wasting his time making a woman that could never love him he would best focus on his fiancee, learning more about her, accepting their relationship and love her. The last reason why Ren Xiaosu gave up was because of Orpheus; he saw how he looked at Ella and how she responded; he was sure his new friend would succeed where many had fallen.

The determination to give up was not given to everyone; it was why Orpheus found this young man trying to befriend him interesting.

Xiao Qingye could feel that this time for good, her fiance had given up on Ella and would be hers, and she was grateful toward Orpheus, who seemed to have something to do with this.

Finally, Daniel arrived before Orpheus and shouted.

”You, turn to face me.”

He seemed to have forgotten that status had no real meaning inside the academy except for your strength and the amount of credits you had.

”Amber, let’s go.” Orpheus ignored Daniel and began to walk toward the exit.

”Okay, master.” Amber immediately followed him.

Daniel stood there dumbfounded, not believing that someone dared to ignore him, the crown prince of the Luxiria Empire.

Grim Asmodeus was still sitting, watching everything that was happening with interest. Leon Ackes Neos was chuckling while Kaguya Mio Sakura was smiling, waiting for a good show to happen.

”Stop right there, you asshole. I’m talking to you, Kyle Blake.” Daniel roared; he couldn’t take it anymore.

Orpheus stopped and only said one word.

”Annoying!”

Immediately, Daniel saw her; he lost his cool and immediately launched an attack.

Flame gathered around his fist as he threw it toward Orpheus’s head.

Without looking back, Orpheus sidestepped to dodge the blow.

”What does he have eyes on his back?” A clueless student asked; Grim corrected him.

”It’s spirit perception.”

The classroom room turned silent, and Leon’s face darkened for the first time. This is not good. He thought.

Crack!

A jarring sound of bone cracking echoed out through the classroom.

A few students turned toward the sound instinctively, and their expressions changed. After dodging the strike, Orpheus caught Daniel’s arm and broke it.

His entire arm was contorted into a weird shape, with his bone protruding out of his flesh as it hung limply. With the meat hanging on his bones, it was a terrifying sight!

”Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

Many felt like their souls would leave their bodies. At the moment, everyone had one thought running inside their minds.

This young man is too ruthless.
