"I am indeed very handsome."
Nux said happily that he looked at his face from different angles, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. His long, thick, glossy black hair, combined with his smooth, fair skin and perfectly sculpted face, gave his golden eyes a unique gleam. His arched eyebrows, thin nose, and pointed chin made his face seem timeless, despite some scratches.
"With this face and this seemingly frail body, I'm definitely the best gigolo anyone could have! I need to work hard to find a client who's good enough for me!"
Nux nodded to himself, but then frowned.
“But why did I get hurt?” he wondered.
After his reincarnation, nothing went according to plan. He didn't get his deception back, nor did he have any memories of his ex.
Are they jealous of my overly handsome face? Hmm, that must be it… Hmm! Losers! Once I find a good mother, I can get my revenge. Hmph! Hmph! Nux snorted inwardly, as he assumed.
*roar*
Just as he was contemplating revenge, he heard his stomach rumble, and he realized he was extremely hungry. He looked around and noticed some peach-like fruits on the table.
Since it's in my house, it shouldn't be poisonous, right...?
Thinking of this, he quickly took a bite. They tasted like green apples, and he found them delicious, so he immediately began to wolf them down.
?
Although the fruit couldn't completely satisfy his hunger, it wasn't as bad as before.
However, if he knew that what he had just eaten was equivalent to two days' worth of his ex's meals, he wouldn't complain about being dissatisfied at all.
*Knock on the door* *Knock on the door*
*Crush*
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, but just as he was about to answer, the door was flung open and three burly-looking men walked in.
“If you want to slam the door open, why bother knocking…” Nux thought to himself, but he knew now was not the time to ask such a question.
"Have you decided to come with us?" asked the scarred man, whom Nux believed to be the leader of the group.
Nux took a deep breath, stared at them without saying a word, yet there was no fear on his face.
The leader frowned, glanced at his subordinates, and only when he confirmed they shared the same confusion looking at their faces did he turn to Nux and raise his eyebrows.
“I asked, ‘Have you decided to come with us?’” he asked again, this time with a slightly harsher tone.
"certainly!"
"I asked, 'Have you decided to come with us?'" he asked again, this time with a slightly harsher tone.
“Of course!” Nux answered quickly, not even knowing where they were taking him.
His logic was simple: he knew that if they fought, he wouldn't stand a chance against them, so if they wanted to hurt him, they could do it here. They wouldn't bother bringing him to a place they'd set a trap for, just to target a weakling like him.
He agreed after careful consideration, not out of fear of the scarred man in front of him. Not at all.
The leader was a scarred man who was shocked by his own answer, but his face quickly returned to normal. He nodded and tossed out a glass bottle containing a strange purple liquid.
"Drink it"
Nux didn't ask anything and quickly emptied the bottle. Although it was a bit bitter, he felt a warm energy flow through his body as it went down his throat. The bruises on his face had healed without leaving any trace!
Although he was surprised, he didn't have time to think about what sacred thing he had just drunk, because he quickly followed the others.
…
After walking for a while, he came to a building that stood in stark contrast to his dilapidated wooden hut. It was a large building constructed of white marble, giving it a sacred feel. There were a few words written on it, but Nux couldn't recognize the language, so he ignored them.
Soon, the group entered the building and headed to a specific room. Although he couldn't see what was written on the door, judging from the design and the attitude of the others, it was clear that this room belonged to an important person.
*Knock on the door* *Knock on the door*
After the knock, the door was opened by a beautiful girl dressed in a classic maid outfit. She nodded to the scarred man, then looked at Nux, a hint of surprise on her face before returning to her normal, expressionless expression.
?
She entered the room, and the group followed her. They saw a man in an expensive robe sitting leisurely in a chair. The man had blond hair and a French mustache, making him look like a typical businessman.
Then he glanced at Nux and asked, "You know why you were brought here, don't you?"
Countless ideas surged wildly through Nux's mind.
Should I tell him I know nothing?
But judging from the scarred man's attitude, it was clear he had already told my ex about it. Don't they know I'm not the person they think I am?
But this is my only chance to find out what happened, and I shouldn't waste it…
Nux was a little flustered by all these quick thoughts, nodding and shaking his head in a rather comical manner.
The man raised an eyebrow at his answer, glanced at the scarred man, and then turned back to Nux.
“My name is Elton Peyton, and I am the head of this merchants’ guild.”
My friend, you are fortunate to have caught the attention of Viscount Felberta.
Nux stared wide-eyed at Elton, wondering if he was joking.
“Yes, my friend, Viscount Fairberta wants you as her human plaything,” Elton revealed, Nux’s eyes unable to conceal the shock he was experiencing.
"Yes!"
