Chapter 807: Inducement



"Are you ill—"

Although Fili had wanted to say this for a long time, she didn't expect that she would actually say what was in her heart in front of Ash.

In the small private room of the Nebula University cafeteria, facing the helpless and furious Fili, Ash turned to look at Rose next to him and said, "See, I said that there shouldn't be any additional awards. The costume award should be given to her directly."

While eating steak, Wei Xi said, "One award is not shocking enough. You should give her a few more awards. It would be best if she breaks the record for the number of awards won by a single person. Then, put up giant banners in newspapers, on the Internet, at bus stops, and outside buildings. Then, you can announce in a high-profile manner that she is the heroine of your next movie. That will make her a hit. You are still too conservative now."

"That's right," Ash patted Vichy's pink-haired head, "I didn't expect that you have something useful in your brain besides bad ideas."

"It was a single shot that sunk it!"

Fili felt like she was going crazy. "Honestly, Mr. Heath, are you playing a prank on me on a variety show? I haven't offended you, have I?"

"What's wrong?" Ash was puzzled: "Isn't this good? You're famous! And just call me Ash."

“But it’s a bad reputation.”

The blonde girl sighed deeply: "How can I be considered to win an award? Besides, it's an award you personally added... Everyone must be wondering if I have a strong family background!"

Ash suddenly understood and nodded: "I understand, I will solve the problem."

Fili looked up expectantly, "Will you cancel the award?"

"Rose, find a way to get Fili's name on a high-quality work so that she can win the award," Ash said seriously. "We need to build momentum on the Internet and school forums, reporting extensively on how hard Fili works, how talented she is, and how she studied hard even when she had a fever of over 40 degrees. There can't be any slander against Fili!"

"Okay." Rose nodded.

"That's not what I meant!" Philly was annoyed. "I don't want to win an award, I don't want to be famous, I just want to graduate quietly and become an ordinary fashion designer."

"Got it." Ash asked Rose, "Do I have a clothing brand under my name?"

“Only those who hold shares,” Rose replied, “but you can buy them.”

"good--"

“Not at all!”

Fili slammed the table, took a deep breath, and looked at the three people in front of her.

On the left is Miss Rose, who is so beautiful with her long dark blue hair that she could be a star. Even with her expressionless face, she makes people feel ashamed of herself. On the right is the bad guy Vichy, who is wearing a lace miniskirt maid outfit and is eating her third steak. The strange thing is that her hair was red last night, but now it has turned pink.

The man in the middle wearing casual clothes and with an innocent look on his face is Ash Hiss, the special advisor to the University Cup Committee that even Nebula University is at a loss for words.

"Don't you like it?" Ash asked, "Reputation, status, honor, whatever you want, I can help you save decades of struggle and reach the destination directly."

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that, I, Mr. Heath——"

"It's Ash."

"Ash," Fili lowered her head and looked at her chest, "I don't deserve these. They are not mine. Even if I get them temporarily, I will never truly own them."

The room fell into a brief silence, and the blonde girl felt a little uneasy and a little scared.

The anxiety was naturally because he had rejected the offer of the famous Ash, and the fear was due to the power Ash possessed - it was over, he would not let the psychic to brainwash him and turn him into a sow that could do whatever he wanted, right? Or would he let the necromancer turn him into a corpse and then slowly use him to transform him?

And being rejected by me, Ash would definitely be embarrassed, right? What if he gets angry and asks the school to expel me? What if he asks the apartment to kick me out? What if he sends someone to arrest me?

Just as Fili's imagination reached the stage of the small dark room, Ash let out a long sigh.

"Two days ago I said I would give you a sincere offer, but now it seems I have broken my promise." He took a bite of the Chiyan Lala Fat and said, "You are a smart girl. You can tell at a glance that the offer I gave you is not sincere."

Fili was startled and quickly shook her head: "No, Ash, you did offer very good conditions, but I——"

"But it's all just vanity." Ash said, "Be it status, company, or honor, you know that you didn't get it by your own strength. You won't feel safe or realize your self-worth because of it. I originally wanted to impress you with vanity, but you have the wisdom to not be tempted."

Fili blushed a little: "I'm not that great..."

"Actually, my situation is very similar to yours. I was also caught up in an unpredictable situation and was also surrounded by a huge **." Ash said, "I am not the real Ash Hiss. You can think of me as a traveler from a parallel world. You may not believe it, but a few days ago, I was a wanted criminal wanted nationwide. I was in danger every day and was surrounded by dangers. I even had to steal other people's clothes for dates."

Fili thought to herself, I do believe it. After all, you have a trickster and a necromancer around you. It's obvious that you can't be a serious person... She couldn't help but glance at Rose, who had a calm expression, as if she didn't hear what Ash said.

Not to mention Rose, even Fili herself didn't quite believe what Ash said. It sounded too much like someone obsessed with creation suddenly went crazy, or like the protagonist of a science fiction movie.

"I've felt like I was dreaming these past two days. I'm a successful person respected by everyone here. More people ask me out for dinner every day than I know anyone. I have many powerful followers. The wealth I can use could even buy half of the world. Countless people admire and respect me."

Ash propped his cheek with his left hand and said leisurely, "A few days ago, I could only sleep in the wild, but now I can sleep comfortably in the villa. If I say that I don't miss this identity for a moment, it would be a lie. But do you know how I subdue the enemy?"

Fili listened intently: "How to subdue him?"

"No need for a uniform." Ash spread his hands. "I can only live the life of a successful person here, but as long as I can go back alive, I can live the life of a king."

"But didn't you just say you were a wanted criminal!?"

"I am a wanted criminal in one country, but in another, I am the Queen's closest relative." Ash blinked, "The devil cannot be subdued, but it can be covered by a higher-level devil."

"That's why I squandered Heath's wealth recklessly. After all, I will leave this world sooner or later, so everything in this world is just a mirage to me. It's not worth lingering on, and there's no need to cherish it."

"But it's different for you. For you, this world is real." Ash said seriously, "I am happy to train you slowly, arrange career plans for you, arrange a suitable trial position for you, and gradually train you to be an excellent, confident and successful woman - this may be the best condition I can give."

"But I don't have that much time, so I can only give you what you want, honor, status, career, love. Tell me what can make you happy. As long as Heath can do it, I will give it all."

Fili was silent for a moment, then asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Fight for me," Ash said, "You might even die because of me."

Fili silently pinched the tablecloth and said, "What is the probability of death?"

"If we're unlucky, there might be four teams like ours, and only one team will survive." Ash said, "So the probability is... 80%."

Fili lowered her head, her golden hair hanging down to cover her face.

Ash sighed inwardly upon seeing this, he didn't understand why Fili was a demon, but the demon obviously didn't affect her personality - she was just an ordinary young person after all.

You are not crazy, you don’t have a disability, and there is no imminent crisis. Who would participate in a game with an 80% mortality rate?

Ash would rather Fili be a death row inmate, a conspirator, a religious fanatic, etc. Although he is reluctant to admit it, he is indeed good at dealing with scum, and he is willing to use any means when necessary. But for ordinary people like Fili, bribery is the bottom line of Ash. He can use coercion, brainwashing, and threats, but he can't do it.

Rose and Vichy beside him had been winking at him. The former suggested something drastic, which was to tie up Fili and rape her slowly; the latter thought it could be gentler, which was to just capture her and use hypnosis to brainwash her.

"I promised you."

Fili's answer was beyond the expectations of the three.

She raised her head and said seriously, "As long as you agree to one condition of mine."

"you say."

"I want to find my biological father." Fili said, "That's all."

Ash nodded. He didn't ask any more questions. He motioned for Rose to write it down. "Anything else? Really, you're welcome. For me, satisfying your request is the top priority. I don't want you to slack off in battle because I treat you poorly."

"And..." Fili hesitated, "If possible, I hope you can help Senior Demir get the award he deserves."

"Demir Vosloda?"

Ash blinked. He had noticed this person a long time ago. After all, he had learned from Sword Princess that there were two Vosilodas, one was Felix and the other was Dimi. Dimi was obviously the projection of Dimi, but Felix's projection seemed to have disappeared. Dimi was an only child and had no younger brother.

Jian Ji said that Dimi was a very popular school idol in the Star Kingdom, so it was no surprise that his projection Demir was admired by many people in the Star Kingdom. However, compared with Dimi, Demir seemed to be not confident enough and even too cowardly. If the information about the Concentric Chain of Heath was true, it meant that the original Dimi had taken away his confidence and courage, so the projection Demir was left with only inferiority and weakness.

Just like Nia is so vigilant and manic, it may be because Sword Princess is too comfortable and gentle in reality.

"Do you like Demir?"

Fili's face flushed red, and she waved her hands quickly: "I didn't... I just couldn't stand it, they were really going too far, I wanted to protect the rights of the senior..."

"You want to protect him?" Vichy, who was eating his fifth steak, summarized, "Protective desire only occurs between pets, partners, and relatives. It does not occur between friends because friends are not 'your things.' The synonym of protective desire is possessiveness, which means that there is an unbreakable bond between you and the other person."

For a demigod who has lived his third life, Vichy's few words were a dimensionality reduction blow to Fili, who had just turned 20. The blonde girl blushed so much that blood was about to drip out, and she changed the subject abruptly: "Ash, who are we going to kill?"

"There is only one target for now, and she should show her tracks soon." Ash said, "That's why I'm in such a hurry to kill you - I really don't have much time."

"who?"

"'Death Maniac' Nia Servi, you may know her, she is——"

"Niya?" Fili was stunned: "She...we had the same class, and I took notes for her. Do you want to kill her?"

"No."

Ash shook his head slowly, a soft color in his eyes, "I want to protect her."
