Chapter 174 173. Nightmare Of Liza
Chapter 174 173. Nightmare Of Liza
?
Liza's tiny body was shook as her pupils dilated when the realisation hit her. She broke into a cold sweat which made her already tight Lolita clothes wet, sticking close to her body.
She looks like she might cry any moment but not in sorrow but in fear, At this, she looks at Alex to say that he was joking. This is nothing more than a stupid fact but he did not say making her fall into despair.
This was not a simple fear at all, This was beyond that, She was terrified by her realisation of things, There was an unfathomable shadow in her heart, A nightmare of hers buried deep in her heart once again surfaced.
"Pl-Please tell me this is a lie...Please."
Liza's legs were trembling making her hard to stand in place, She somehow supported herself with a wall as in a fearful begging voice of hers she asked Alex.
But she did not want to hear the truth at all. This time she wanted him to lie. Just lie and say what she thought was wrong, Just say that and end her nightmare because she rather accepts the illusion than to embrace this scary reality.
Alex sighed he can understand why she was this terrified, Even he is terrified of "that" one, So Liza at least being conscious is quite a feat on its own accord.
"*Sigh* Sorry Liza but this is reality, Sh-"
"Don't say her name, Don't even mention her, Don't even think about her, She can't hurt me if I don't know about it!!"
Alex decided to break the ice as he was ready to make up excuses to keep her from doing anything stupid but before he even tried to go to that topic, Liza freaked out.
She held her head blocking her ears as she crouched on the ground and yelled at him in utter horror, Her eyes were tightly closed as if the "one" in his mouth showed up at any moment.
She was hyperventilating as she murmured to herself that no one can hurt her here, She is safe and such.
This made Alex taken aback, He never thought Liza can behave like this because believe it or not she herself is a terrifying name in the higher society, She should never be afraid of anyone and yet here we are.
Alex could not understand how the power level worked with these heroines, First Xiao Bai though not a heroine but as an S-rank warrior was afraid of Liza, Which is not only stupid but also a dumb thing but seeing that Xiao Bai was still immature it can be barely acceptable.
But a grown-ass woman in her 40s, That too a power one on top of that being head on one of the 4 most feared and respected families in the country should not react to this at all, This brain-dead thing could happen in-
'Ohhh!! I forgot I am in the wishfuliment novel, Logic is non-existence here, Wait!! Logic is non-existence here.'
Alex shook his head as reminded himself that he was in the wishfuliment novel, not the serious one, So he thought much about it but then it also hit him, He is in the WISHFULIMENT novel.
A fact he glossed over for a few days, He now knows why things are going only tougher and tougher as he was the one who made it tough for him.
He was using too much logic where logic is an extrastriatal thing, No wonder this world did not like it as it started to throw stuff at him to make his life worse.
His habit of overthinking and using too much logic is the reason why things are getting complicated, He was the one who made them complicated.
'No wonder it was feeling less of fun and more of an annoying task, I sucked all the fun out of this world using logic everywhere, So from now on let's have some fun in this wonderful world.'
Alex laughed to himself. He now gets why it was becoming more or more like pesty work as time went by. He became too serious to have fun making the stuff he does along the way as a task, not a fun activity.
So he decided to have fun but while being careful, No guard should compromise for the fun.
"Liza, It's all right she is not here, She can't- *Ahem* She will not hurt you."
Alex, after having an epiphany, felt quite relaxed than before. He approached Liza and kneeled in front of her, taking her in his arms. He did not speak for a while only feeling that she was calm down and did not have an extreme reaction. He spoke to ease her emotions.
He ran her back with his hands just to give her that feeling of security, Which was working because her body finally stopped shaking.
Liza looked at Alex with still fear in her eyes as she talked about the one who should not be named, Not only that but more than half of the capital city are terrified of that woman and the other half is just stupid.
The remaining ones are the few expectations, In which her White family do come but Liza still could not escape from the terror, legends and myths that woman has created.
Spoiler alert, All of them are scary ones. They kinda are creepypasta that make grown women shake in fear, That's why even strong ones stay away from that nightmare in the flesh.
"Never ever say her name, Alex, Don't you know it is taboo to say the name of the one who should not be named? She is the nightmare of the whole capital city, Wait!! You met with her, Did she harm you? Are you hurt? Where did you hurt? Let me see it quickly!!"
Then Liza goes on ranting about how even taking that woman's name is considered taboo as no one knows to what extent of her powers are, Until now there is nothing that woman can't do.
Liza goes on to talk about how that woman terrorises the whole capital city, In the capital other than the 4 strongest families no one has the guts to go against that woman and even those powerful families did not want to have anything to do with her,
Well other than one, Who has eaten a leopard's gallbladder and bears heart to do the unthinkable.
After that, Liza panicked knowing that Alex came into contact with that evil spirit, So she quickly started to ask him about it but without waiting for his answer she started to check him for any sign of injuries.
"You know Loza, No matter how strong she is Belladonna did not have the guts to harm me, She just dropped by to say hi or kidnap me, frankly I don't remember but it did not matter as I am standing here."
Alex rubs the head of this mature milf loli which sounds weird because it is as he said the name of the person who shall not be named in Liza's mouth.
Yes, it was his family who had the guts to marry their heir of the family to the woman who the whole city was terrified of, That goes to show how menace his family is, Not afraid of shit.
"!!!!!!"
Reasonably Liza was shocked by his action as she jumped out of his arms in full alert as she quickly started looking around full of fear, Her eyes were searching for the thing she wished she would not see.
Alex just looked at her in shock. He who had the plot in his mind knows how broken the powers Belladonna has but because of that, she is not as scary as Liza described her.
There is no way Belladonna can know when he said her name, It is just impossible as even S-Rank warriors have a limit on their crazy powers.
"Stop it, Liza, Don't overreact, Belladonna though she is pretty fucking crazy and very powerful but at the end of the day she is a human, We have Xiao Bai to deal with her, She can't hurt us. Also, she can't know when someone said her name- "
*Ring* *Ring*
Alex wanted to make Liza realise that Belladonna is not some omniscient being, She is as human as anyone, There are just a few differences like she is kinda immortal, and can destroy the whole city on will, re-animate dead and such, Other than that she is pretty normal for a mentally insane person.
But before he could finish explaining his thought process to Liza, the phone in his pocket rang, taking him back as he put his phone in vibration mode before he went with Sandra into the room, So he was shocked when it rang.
"Yeyahhh!!! She is here!!!"
Liza, startled by the sudden voice, quickly ran to Alex and hugged him tightly, closing her eyes not willing to see Belladonna fearing of getting cursed by her.
Alex ignored Liza as he was confused right now, He was sure he did not forget to put it on vibrate as that would be a rookie mistake for pulling something like that with Sandra, Still to give the benefit of the doubt he pulled on his phone to check who was calling.
But when he saw the name he was shocked to death. On the caller's screen, there was a capital letter name flashing in front of his eyes.
Belladonna!!!
