Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

After the accident, the two continued their journey around the city. Acht was intending to go back home after that accident and also the matter of the MC.

He was sure that at some point he will have to kill the MC, it was not any time soon but he was sure it was inevitable. He would rather destroy whatever was left intact in the plot than to see the people he cared for get manipulated by the MC's aura and also by fate that seems to be still on the protagonist's side.

He wasn't that alerted by the matter but it was still something he had to consider thoroughly soon.

Second of all, he also wanted to preferably search around for some info about the underground fighting arena he was going to tonight. He trusted Tania's choice but he still wanted to make things clearer.

However, Tania was very much against the idea.

She kept dragging Acht's hand with teary eyes as if she didn't want to go home no matter what. He had never seen Tania this adamant about doing something before. She was still a stubborn girl but never this stubborn.

So, after some thought, he decided to follow her for some more time. The date continued quite peacefully. No buildings blew up and no protagonist appeared before them.

Now, they were having lunch in one of the restaurants they found on their way. Obviously, Tania ordered half of the menu in one single round.

The waitress who was at first happy to talk to a hot guy like Acht ended up looking as pale as a sheet of paper after hearing the girl's order.

Acht could only shake his head with a sigh.

'Feeding her does cost a fortune.' He thought as he checked his wallet, even though he doesn't care much about money, he was still most likely one of the richest individuals in the world.

At some point, Leislet gave him half of her properties a few years ago to celebrate the new year. Even though he refused, she still didn't listen and still made him a filthy rich individual in less than a day.

'Married people should just share everything and we are basically married, am I wrong?' She said something along those lines with a proud look on her face.

Acht could only smile remembering that memory before shifting his gaze back to Tania.

She had already finished her portion in a few minutes before resting her back on the chair with a satisfied smile.

Acht wasn't even able to eat anything but he still didn't care.

"Tania.."

"Hmm?" She hummed in response.

"... Nothing, just forget it." He shook his head.

He wanted to ask her about the matter he discussed with Scarlett but then shook his head as he thought that will make him sound like a douchebag.

Asking someone 'Do you have feelings for me?' sounds just too arrogant for Acht's tastes.

"Let's go now, we have things to do tonight. Let's make it as quick as possible." He said and stood up to leave.

A few hours later, the night finally came, the moon was nowhere to be seen that night and the darkness just covered the whole city in a veil of shadows. It was rare for the moon not to be apparent at this time of the year.

At that time, a small and empty bar was still open, the faint light coming from inside was calming and the quiet atmosphere somehow was soothing for the soul ignoring the fact that the place looked very suspicious. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Two people entered the place, the bartender behind the counter was busy cleaning cups when he saw the two individuals who came inside.

He immediately recognized the two and opened the curtains for them. After entering the office, he went behind the office and tapped some kind of secret button.

Suddenly, the ground under them split open and a secret door appeared out of nowhere. It was well hidden even for the trained eye.

"Go inside..." He said coldly.

Acht and Tania looked at each other before walking inside.

The stairs that led down were very dark and became even darker when the man closed the door to the top behind them.

"Wear this and don't even think about revealing your name to anyone. You're Delta and I'm alpha. Simple and secretive."

He gave her a mask and wore one for himself too.

Tania nodded her head as she also took the mask, however, her mind was just on a whole other plain.

Her excitement was over the top and her heart didn't seem to be calming down any time soon. Luckily, the darkness hid her blushing face or she would've had to explain to Acht.

The two finally reached the end and found another curtain, when they passed, a whole new world appeared in front of them.

Bright lights illuminated the place and revealed a small arena in the middle surrounded by tens and tens of seats for audiences. Acht could also see the VIP room at the top near the arena.

There was also a door that led to another section of the place. Cheers and screams could be heard everywhere.

"You two!"

Not even a few seconds passed and someone was already calling for them. He was sitting behind a table with 4 people standing in front of him in line.

"If you're here for the show then register here!" He shouted again.

Acht had already scanned the whole place and created a clear idea of the power level of this place. Seeing that, only one idea was generated in his head.

'So weak! I expected them to be at least somewhat decent and could even stand in front of me for more than 10 seconds. But, I guess I'm wrong.'

Everyone here was still between white and orange soul cores with most of them barely even passing level 1. It was most likely that they thought this place was good for an easy buck.

'Still, we should stay alert and careful in case anything bad happens.'

"Don't put down your guard no matter what." He whispered near Tania's ear which made her flinch.

She then looked at him with a small frown on her face. She was touching her ear.

"Acht... idiot."

"Huh?"

He didn't get why she was angry with him. He only warned her about the fights.

'What an odd girl.'
