Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain

Chapter 15 Laylah



Chapter 15: Laylah

Morital, who was left in the room, could only sigh. He did not know what to do because Akiko’s identity was very special, so he could only limit her flaws.

At this moment, a person entered the room. It was a woman, wearing a police uniform just like Akiko, however, she had long brown hair that was pulled up at the back of her head.

She was about 170 cm tall, her figure was not inferior to Akiko’s, however, her two majestic mountains were bigger than Akiko’s. Her face was so beautiful that people were captivated just by looking at it.

However, this woman’s face did not show much emotion, as she always maintained a mysterious smile on her lips.

“Did something just happen?” The woman looked at Morital and smiled, her voice was extremely gentle, like that of an older sister.

Morital sighed: “Lylah? Haizzz, it’s Akiko, she’s about to start a fight with Hikaru again.”

Laylah covered her mouth and smiled: “Morital, I feel that since Akiko has been working here, the number of times you have sighed has increased.”

When Morial heard that, he shook his head and said: “I can’t do anything to her anyway, her status is very special.”

Laylah nodded and said, “Yes, her personality is also very strong and full of righteous energy, but she is also very stubborn.”

Morital nodded: “Yes, it would be great if Akiko possessed half of your tenderness.”

Laylah used one hand to cover her mouth and smiled, a very elegant gesture: “Hahaha… Morital, you’re also overestimating me, I’m just an ordinary person, how can I compare with Akiko.”

Morital laughed and said, “Don’t say that. Haizzz, if I didn’t have a wife and I was 20 years younger, I would immediately pursue you.”

“Ah… Morital, it seems that you don’t like peace… if your wife hears this, surely she will…”

Laylah didn’t finish her sentence, but Morital was so scared that he shivered, and he felt like he was in an ice cave.

“Okay, don’t say anything, I’m afraid my wife will hear what I just said, and she will tear me to pieces.” Morital waved his hand and said, “Laylah, how long have you been working here?”

Laylah tilted her head as if she was trying to rummage through her memories, then said, “I started working on team 7 since I was 22, so it’s been about 8 years now.”

Morital then said: “Hm… in the past 8 years you have worked, I see you as a gentle person who is also very fair and never puts your emotions into your work. So… I want to ask you, what do you think about Hikaru and Tadashi?”𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

Laylah was a little confused and asked, “Why are you asking this question? Don’t you already have a very clear answer?”

Morital shook his head: “No, I want to hear other people’s opinions. I am afraid that as I have grown older, my judgement and intuition have decreased a lot.”

Laylah looked at Morital for a moment, then said, “I’ve only met Tadashi and Hikaru a few times, but I just saw them, and I’ve never interacted with them.”

“I saw Hikaru being taken many times by Akiko to the detention room. Contrary to him, I saw Akiko having dinner with Tadashi.”

“Sometimes I feel like, although they are from the same family, they are treated unfairly.”

Morital nodded: “Yes, I feel that Akiko is also a bit unfair. However, we can’t blame Akiko anyway, Tadashi saved her once, and this debt makes her feel extremely guilty.”

Laylah suddenly frowned, a wistful expression on her face.

“What’s up?” Morital, who was puzzled, asked. After all, he and Laylah had worked together for many years, so he knew that every time she frowned, she noticed something unusual.

Laylah didn’t answer, and Morital was also silent. After a while, Laylah said, “I’m a bit skeptical… May I know how Akiko was saved by Tadashi?”

Morital frowned and said, “I don’t know exactly what happened. All I know is that while Akiko was chasing a bandit, she accidentally went into their lair and was almost killed by them.”

“Fortunately, Tadashi appeared in time and rushed in to rescue Akio. Akiko has considered Tadashi her lifesaving benefactor since then, and she completely trusts him.”

Hearing Morital’s words, Akiko frowned and said, “You asked me what I think of Hikaru and Tadashi, right?”

“That’s right.”

Akiko continued, “Actually, I feel that Tadashi is a very dangerous person.”

“Dangerous?” Morital, puzzled, asked: “Why?”

Akiko explained, “First, given Tadashi’s connections and assets, he is qualified to investigate Akiko’s identity and information.”

“Secondly, Tadashi appeared too coincidentally. Why did a businessman appear at the lair of thieves? Also, how could he rescue Akiko when he’s just a businessman and Akiko is a policeman?”

“If I were to say who is more dangerous between Hikaru and Tadashi, I would say the most dangerous one is Tadashi.”

“He’s Hodai’s stepson, so it’s easy to see why he’s trying so hard to stand out. After all, what he’s aiming for is Hodai’s wealth and power.”

“Perhaps he knew Akiko’s special identity and personality very well, so he created a plan to help him connect with Akiko.”

“Hikaru is different, he is a simple guy like other young men. However, he didn’t steal, kill, or fight, which is a very good thing.”

“After all, being the son of a rich family, what’s the point of being rich if not dissolute?”

“However, that is just my speculation, if it is to be concluded, I need to contact and investigate more.”

When Morital heard this, he nodded and said: “Your thinking is very similar to mine. I also feel that Tadashi is very dangerous, however, Akiko is different, she just relies on her intuition and thinks that Tadashi is a good person.”

“Good person?” Laylah smiled, a smile that carried a hint of disdain: “No snowflake is pure, neither are humans. It’s just that some people are better at hiding their evil nature.”

Morital nodded: “Coincidentally, Tadashi also reported to Akiko that he heard that Hikaru used a gun and injured two people.”

“What?!” Laylah, extremely surprised, asked: “Have you investigated and concluded it?”

“Not yet.” Morital shook his head: “Akiko asked for the right to investigate it, but I fear that she will act according to her personal feelings and intuition.”

“Laylah, you are fair and experienced in investigations. Besides, you have good diplomacy skills. I hope you can come along and help Akiko this time.”

Laylah heard Morital and smiled: “Don’t praise me, you just want me to limit Akiko’s impulsive actions, right?”

Morital smiled and said: “Hahahaha… it is impossible to deceive you. So… in this mission, all I ask is for you to help her.”

Laylah nodded, “Okay. I just hope she won’t cause a big deal.”

After saying that, Laylah left, and Morital breathed a sigh of relief this time. Anyway, he still trusted Laylah more than Akiko.

In a taxi, Hikaru sat in the car, resting while thinking about many things.

After a while, he suddenly said: “Driver, change direction, go to the city university.”

“City university? There are 5 universities in this city, which one do you want to go to?”

Hearing the driver’s question, Hikaru suddenly froze. That’s right, even though he has memories of the past, everything was just a little bit of information related to the character Hikaru in the story, and he didn’t know everything else.

He didn’t even know how many universities there were in this place or what the name of the university he needed was.

Hikaru sighed, he was like a foreigner coming to this place for the first time, as he did not know the direction or the place to go.

Suddenly, he immediately said: “Driver, do you know which school this year’s student beauty contest winner attends?”

“Ah!” The middle-aged driver smiled and said, “You mean Saiki Rina? It turned out that you were also one of her admirers.”

“Hm? Does she have a lot of admirers?”

“That’s right. Even the son of the richest man in this city pursued her. What’s his name? I forgot his name… it seems… Hikaru.”

Hikaru: “…”

“Haizzz, he looks like a stupid simp. It is said that Rina didn’t like him, but he was like a dog who chased after Rina all day long. Hahahaha… Do you find it funny? It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so stupid and shameless.”

Hikaru: “…”

Hikaru felt so embarrassed that he wanted to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. Yes, according to the novel, he was just as stupid as the middle-aged driver just said.

Hikaru in the novel was fascinated by Rina’s beauty, so he constantly pursued her or gave her flowers, gifts, or other valuable things.

However, according to the motif of a normal urban novel, no matter what the villain does, the female lead only likes the male lead.

Therefore, the gifts he gave Rina were all thrown in the trash by her. But Hikaru still looked like a fool, as he was constantly pursuing Rina.

Of course, everyone in the city knew about this, although very few people knew Hikaru’s face, everyone knew about his stupidity and uselessness.

This setup was really typical of a villain, a rock for the protagonist to step on, and use to get closer to the heroine.

Just like the middle-aged driver said, he was a stupid simp. Luckily this driver didn’t know he was Hikaru, or else he’d have to dig a hole to hide in.
