Villain: Transmigrated Into A NTR Manga As The Antagonist

Chapter 339: Clearing Your Name

Alex returned to the hotel after being interrogated by the authorities the day before. He had somehow managed to bullshit his way through the proceedings in a way that managed to get him out of suspicion, but at the same time, it had made his ability to escape from the eyes of Iranian intelligence much more difficult.

With this in mind, he returned to the hotel lobby with a rather depressed attitude. Jasmine had been warned by her father to keep a close eye on the man. After all, while she may work as a receptionist at the international hotel, every now and then the IRGC would use her to keep an eye on high-profile targets.

When the young woman saw Alex enter with a depressed look on his face, she thought that something suspicious was going on with him, and was quick to approach the man of her own accord, doing so in a way that she hoped would not arouse suspicion to herself.

“Sir… Are you alright? You look a little down…”

Alex didn’t even realize how depressed he looked, and honestly felt slightly embarrassed with himself. The cause of his depression was the fact that he would have to go celibate for a few nights, which to a man who had as many women that Alex had to choose from. This was indeed a troublesome thing.

But naturally, he could not just explain why he was so depressed to this woman who hated guys like him. Thus, he had to come up with some excuse.

“Thank you, but it’s nothing to worry about. I’m just a little upset with some things that have recently happened to me, that’s all…”

Suspected that there was more to Alex’s story than he had told her father, Jasmine was quick to approach Alex with a charming smile, and an offer she hoped he would not refuse.

“Well, I just got off my shift, so if you have the time, would you like to tell me all about it over a meal?”

Naturally, Alex already knew about the girl’s connection to the Iranian Military, and because of this he understood exactly what she was planning right now. Because of this, he decided to say something that truly threw her off.

“Are you offering to pay for the meal? Because I’m afraid I’m all out of cash right now…”

Naturally, Jasmine knew this was total bullshit, because she knew that Alex was connected to Los Zetas in some serious capacity. Which meant he should be very wealthy. Though she had no idea how wealthy he actually was, she knew for a fact there was simply no way he was broke.

Even still, the idea that she would not only have to pay for her own meal, but his as well, even though she was the one to ask, caused the woman to look at Alex as if he were an actual bum. But Alex simply broke out into laughter when he saw the look of sheer contempt on the woman’s face.

“You should see your face right now. It’s as if you are quite literally looking at the most revolting pile of garbage you have ever seen! Of course I’m going to pay. It’s only natural for me to do so for a fine young lady such as yourself.”

Alex deliberately left out the point that he would only pay because Jasmine was a heroine. If she was some random hoe he was trying to pick up on the streets, Alex wouldn’t even buy her fast food. Nor would he even need to with his looks, wealth, and supernatural charm.

As for Jasmine she pouted when she realized Alex was making fun of her. Not even willing to look at the man. Despite this, she still followed him to the Hotel’s restaurant, where Alex ordered for himself without a second thought.

Jasmine did the same, and after the waitress had left, Alex was quick to comment on how much he hated the fact that Iran was a dry state.

“I don’t know how you guys do it. I mean, I can’t imagine going out for a nice meal, with a pretty lady such as yourself, and not having an ice cold beer, or a nice glass of wine with my dinner. You are aware that red wine actually enhances the flavor of properly cooked red meat, right?”

How could she possibly be aware of this? Not only was alcohol illegal in Iran, but she was the daughter of an IRGC General, even if she was bold enough to purchase smuggled wine, there was no way she could ever do so with her father’s ever vigilant eye cast upon her.

Of course, she obviously couldn’t tell Alex this, and simply played along with his words, while admitting to her ignorance of the subject.

“Is that so? I had no idea, but I’m sure I’m not missing out on too much…”

Being fully aware of the girl’s background, Alex made this comment specifically to test her, to see if she would openly lie to him, which she did not. The man was just about to say something else when Jasmine brought up his prior depression that he had shown just a few minutes prior while entering the lobby.

“So… What has gotten you so down? You said it was about something that happened to you recently. Is it anything serious?”

Alex smirked when he heard this. He knew fully well that the girl’s father was using her to find out more about what happened, and because of this, he used this little “date” as a perfect opportunity to clear his name.

“Honestly? I had a bit of trouble. One night I go to sleep, and the next morning I wake up in another country halfway across the world. I have no idea how I got there, or who was responsible. Now… Normally such incidents are the result of me going on a bit of a bender. But since it’s impossible to get alcohol in this country, I know it was no fault of my own.

Still, my gap in memory is deeply troublesome. I wonder if my captors did something to me while I slept… The very thought of it makes my skin crawl…”

Jasmine nearly choked on her drink when she heard Alex basically espouse the same information that he had told his father, while also shamelessly adding to the idea of being molested in his sleep. She honestly did not know how to continue this conversation, and thus she switched it elsewhere…

“Wow… That must be troublesome. You said this has happened to you before due to your own problems with alcohol. Why don’t you tell me more?”

After this, Alex went on a long-winded rant about his past, hiding nothing this time around as he knew the results that would have considered what happened to him before the plot of the manga had been rewritten. Needless to say, by the end of his rant, Jasmine was absolutely flabbergasted by what she had heard.
