Chapter 17: Always a Hero Saves the Beauty

"?"

Before Lilith could ask back, Si Jue immediately put her legs down and fiddled with the hem of her skirt with his fingertips to smooth out the wrinkles.

"Well, you're wearing a skirt."

The silver-haired boy's eyes were red, and his face was also red.

"But I'm wearing safety pants?"

Lilith tilted her head in confusion. She looked down at herself. This time the skirt was perfect, not too big or too small, with black panties underneath.

"T-That can't be seen by him..."

Si Jue spoke shyly, his voice was so low that you had to get close to hear him. He looked shy and well-behaved. Lilith found it hard to believe that he would give the original owner so many knives in the plot.

"As for him, just let me teach him a lesson~"

Si Jue said this in an excited tone, but turned around and immediately turned cold. He grabbed the middle-aged man's head and slammed it to the ground.

"ah!"

There was another cry of surprise from all around, but Si Jue seemed to have no reaction and punched him twice more. Seeing that he was about to die, Lilith grabbed his sleeve and

"Don't kill him. It will affect your evaluation. Hand it over to the Security Department."

She pursed her lips. Someone had already called the police. At the entrance of the next station, the security personnel politely invited them to the interrogation room. Perhaps because they were wearing military school uniforms, the two were not interrogated separately.

"It's you again, little classmate. You were the one who caught this guy yesterday afternoon, right?"

The police officer opposite was talking with a smile, and the information of the last report popped up on the computer. Si Jue was facing the camera, and next to him was a girl with black hair and black eyes. Who else could it be but Alice?

"Always saving the damsel in distress~"

Hearing these joking words, Lilith turned her head and looked over. No wonder Si Jue was so angry. She thought it was because of her. It turned out that this middle-aged man had bullied the heroine before. Then all his actions were reasonable.

Lilith sat down obediently and answered questions with a smile in her eyes. It seemed that the hero and heroine were attracted to each other and did not need her help. After messing up the plot in the arena, Si Jue also successfully made an intersection with Alice.

However, Lilith asked doubtfully,

"That guy also molested a girl yesterday? Why didn't you arrest him?"

Si Jue turned his head in surprise. The police officer opposite him also had an embarrassed look on his face and said vaguely,

"You have to understand this. He's Baron White's financial advisor... If he were arrested, you guys from the slums wouldn't stand a chance of getting any benefits."

Although the laws of the empire are strict and fair, people in high positions always have some privileges, otherwise there would not be slums.

Although Baron White's status in Central Star is not high, as long as he has a title, he is a nobleman, and his people cannot be detained by a small security department.

Sure enough, an arrogant roar came from the unsoundproof room opposite.

"Why don't you let me go? Do you know who I belong to? I'm Baron White's highly paid consultant. If you arrest me, you'll offend him!"

"The Baron is nearby. He said that since you guys won't give him face, he wouldn't mind coming here in person."

The voice gradually became quieter, probably because she was comforted. Lilith looked at the bitter smile on the police officer's face and frowned slightly.

"Did they tell you the same thing yesterday?"

"Um."

Si Jue looked a little indifferent, and didn't seem to care about this unfair situation, or perhaps he had given up long ago.

In school, he is a poor student who is bullied by everyone. Outside, he is just a lowly poor person. He struggles hard just to get equal treatment with others.

But the original owner tortured him, causing him to lose control constantly due to passion, and he was even almost sold to an underground auction house.

My thoughts were interrupted when the door was pushed open and the flattering voice of the middle-aged man came out.

"Baron White, this is the man. I was late yesterday because of him, and he's targeting me again today!"

A thin man with a pointed chin appeared at the door. Although she felt a little sorry, Lilith thought he looked like a mouse that had been hungry for a week.

Baron White strode in, his eyes flickering critically in the small room, and then fell on Si Jue. He could tell at a glance that the man in front of him belonged to the slums, with a smell of poverty.

"You're the one who caused my advisor to be late? Lock him up and tell him, uh, that he offended the nobility!"

The surrounding police officers hesitated for a moment, then grabbed their batons and surrounded him. Lilith raised her eyebrows and protected the tall boy behind her.

"No way? Are you so careless in arresting people?"

She sneered and raised her chin, staring at White with her clear eyes. The baron then saw the girl who had just been covered.

Her long golden curly hair was tied into two high ponytails, with her fine bangs covering her forehead. Because of her anger, her face naturally flushed, revealing a proud and stubborn look.

Lilith's beauty was indisputable. Baron White's eyes lit up immediately. He no longer cared about Si Jue and the police officer, and pointed directly at Lilith.

"If you come with me, I can let him go."

He probably thought that Lilith and Si Jue were a pair of civilian lovers who loved each other, and used Si Jue to threaten her.

But Si Jue wanted to kill himself, so he must be very happy now.

Lilith thought silently, and turned her head to find that Si Jue's eyes were even redder. Maybe all rabbits' eyes are like this.

She didn't think much about it, but snorted coldly and took out her student ID card.

"Baron White, you're so bold! You even dare to tease the only daughter of Duke Katrin. What? Don't you want to stay in Central Star anymore?"

On the student ID card with white letters on a blue background, after Lilith's name, there was the surname "Katlin". In the entire Central Star, there were only three people allowed to use this surname. No one dared to impersonate her.

Of course, Baron White had heard of the various deeds of the Duke's daughter, but his status was too low. He was not even qualified to approach the banquet where the Duke appeared, let alone see the Duke's daughter's true appearance.

Lilith revealed her identity at this moment. Before the middle-aged man could react, Baron White fell to the ground in fear.

He had already seen the name on the ID card clearly, and vaguely remembered his daughter once said that the Duke's daughter had blonde hair and blue eyes.

White immediately knelt down tremblingly, and never came in as arrogantly again.

"Miss Katrin, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you. It's truly a grievous sin. Please forgive my disrespect."

As for the middle-aged man, he knelt down in confusion after being kicked by him.

The most noble person he knew was the Baron, but now, the Baron also knelt in front of the girl like a dog.

Lilith ignored the two frightened people and told the police officer seriously that the middle-aged man had frightened her guide and that he must be imprisoned in the underground prison to be punished. As for Baron White, he probably wouldn't dare to bully others for a long time.

She snorted and turned away, but she didn't notice that Si Jue was suppressing his anger in his eyes. Baron White, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a chill all over his body.
