Chapter 196 Be A Good Boy...
[Part 6/12 of today's Mass release! Here you go fellas! Big Shout-out to Dirtydew!]
Hugo's brain short circuited. He almost couldn't believe his eyes.
How?!
HOW?!
How did she get here before him?!
He had barely blinked! He had rushed towards the toilet area like a man on a mission! He had even almost tripped twice due to his haste!
And yet, here she was. Standing in front of the bathroom like a final boss.
Was she a witch? Or was she a secret immortal?
No, seriously.
Hugo squinted at Loli. Was this some kind of supernatural ability? Did she have a secret teleportation skill?
Maybe a hidden speed buff?@@@@
Or... oh god.
Was she tracking his scent like a bloodhound?!
Hugo hurriedly tried to remember if she had canine teeth, after confirming otherwise, he finally breathed.
That was the only explanation!
This wasn't normal. This wasn't human!
Hugo gulped, forcing himself to stay calm. He couldn't panic. If he panicked, she'd sense weakness. She'd sense that he had hidden motives.
And Loli was like a wild predator. She attacked when her prey was at its weakest. He knew this from experience. She was also very dirty.
So Hugo took a deep breath, put on his best casual face, and walked up to her like nothing was wrong.
Then, with the smoothest tone he could manage, he said—
"Oh? You also want to use the toilet?"
Loli didn't blink.
She didn't move.
She just stared.
Then, with a flat, deadpan voice, she said—
"Don't think I don't know what you want to do."
BAM. DIRECT ATTACK.
Hugo's soul left his body.
She was going straight for the throat!
No warm up. No indirect jabs. Just a one-hit KO punch to his dignity. She was merciless!
But Hugo wasn't an amateur. Okay, he still was, but with the help of his aura of alpha, he could barely pull it off. Besides...
He had been dodging accusations since childhood. He had escaped countless sticky situations. He had been in a gang afterall.
And so, with the confidence of a seasoned liar, he gasped dramatically.
"Loli! How could you?!"
Loli raised an eyebrow.
Hugo placed a hand over his chest, looking deeply offended.
"Do you really think so little of me?" he sighed. He would blackmail her emotionally if it meant seeing topless Erica!
[Erica: You missed your chance, boy.]
Hugo's eye twitched. He closed his eyes. Took a deep breath. Then screamed internally.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
This was Loli's fault. Loli ruined everything. He had been so close. SO CLOSE. AND SHE TOOK IT ALL AWAY.
But then—
He remembered something. Something Sanchez once told him.
"Never give a girl the initiative, bro. If she thinks you're a simp, it's over. You gotta make her chase you."
Hugo took a deep breath.
Right.
Right.
He couldn't look weak. He had to stay in control. So, with a newfound resolve, he typed back:
[Hugo: You didn't tempt me enough. But don't worry. I'll consider you when I wish.]
Then, with a satisfied nod, he fixed his clothes, took another deep breath, and stepped out.
---
As soon as Hugo sat back down, he noticed Erica was staring at him. Her usual playful smirk was gone.
Instead, there was curiosity. And admiration.
Hugo smirked. Oh yeah. That message worked. She was probably wondering why he wasn't desperate.
Why he was so composed. Why he was so different from other guys.
Oh yeah.
This was called playing the long game.
Then—
He glanced at Loli.
Who was still glaring.
Right.
Right.
He had already lost today.
Hugo sighed deeply, slumping back into his seat.
Then, with a defeated nod, he thought—
"I will be a good boy for the rest of the day."
