Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

Chapter 172: 172. Blackmail

Now completely defeated, Diana's body deflated like a balloon.

Diana thought about the current situation of the Roffisier family and the headache her father had been having with the church, and her heart ached.

bShe was such an unfilial daughter!

She was going to push the Roffisier family into destruction with her own two hands and stupid mouth.

Right now, she could only think of one solution: convince Lucius to destroy the video, no matter the cost!

"What do you want from me? I'll do anything you want as long as you don't leak the video."

Lucius watched this scene and was left breathless. Something about having this bold and confident beauty submit made his heart hot as a burning feeling swelled in his lower body.

No way! Although Lucius had brought out the record stone to blackmail her, he didn't expect this.

How does this stupid NTR-level blackmail work in real life?!

If Lucius were in her position, he wouldn't give in even if they threatened his life. At most he would send a secret message to her father, the strongest archer on the continent, and get him to blast into oblivion.

How could Lucius resist an assassination attempt of such a level? One arrow would be enough to blast him into a pile of slag.

But this was the problem with characters that were just and good. When threatened and coerced with lowly and despicable means, they still refused to use the same lowly and despicable means to fight back.

Diana's endless sense of justice was her biggest weakness.

Tsk! Tsk!

What should he say? Befitting a novel heroine, she was really stupid in situations like this.

But it was not like Lucius was complaining. He was the biggest beneficiary in this situation anyway.

Diana, lucky Lucius isn't a typical NTR villain, or else... hehe... things would get interesting.

Oh wait! He is an NTR villain!

Lucius wouldn't prevent Diana from interacting with the gang forever. After all, with her noble and just nature, she was bound to come snooping around sooner or later.

But it would only be okay if he was the one who brought her. She couldn't just snoop around and show up by surprise or an unexpected accident could occur

Lucius wouldn't look down on such a possibility. That's the thing with accidents, nobody expected them to occur until they actually happened.

Lucius couldn't afford to lose everything to some flimsy chance.

Diana sensed Lucius' aura and kept her head down even further.

She wasn't afraid of Lucius' power or aura; she was just afraid that this unreasonable guy would get annoyed and do something outrageous!

If Lucius snapped and released the video then her life would be over!

Once Lucius was certain that Diana wouldn't be bothering him again any time soon, he dismissed her, and Diana quickly vanished away.

As she was leaving, Diana's heart was full of regret! Why did she have to pretend to be something that she was not!

Now she looked like an ignorant noble, and with video evidence against her, nobody would believe her side of the story even if she swore before the statue of goddess of light.

Fortunately Diana's depression didn't last for long s a thought suddenly came into her ,on

'Lucius is still a good person at heart. This is just a misunderstanding. With enough time, things can be cleared up and get better.'

As Diana thought about this, she regained her confidence and was rather cheerful.

The poor girl had no idea that Lucius' appearance until now was all a facade, and that soon she would be in for the shock of a lifetime.

Seeing Diana leave, Lucius headed to the base of the gang.

This time, when Lucius walked in, he wasn't stopped by anyone. Reina had already told her underlings who was important and who was not.

If they still dared to stop Lucius, then it would be Reina, not Lucius, who blew off their heads.

After all, if you still couldn't remember the important news after all that, there was no point in keeping you around.

Soon, Lucius came before a rather luxurious room—well, at least it could be called luxurious when compared to the standards of the outer city—and confidently walked inside.
