Chapter 261: Dekan Has Never Disappointed Cornelia |
That gloomy smile sent an instinctive shiver down Fahilir’s spine.
But Fahilir quickly calmed down.
What was the use of an intimidating aura?
The difference in their strength was right there!
After he was done with Bachel, this damn jailer would be next!
“Hehehehe…”
Dekan smiled and shook his head.
He was now completely awake.
His entire brain began to reboot, operating at high speed.
There was only one thing he was sure of now.
This Fahilir was like an old man on his deathbed eating arsenic—he was tired of living.
If the casting range of his mute spell were not so short, he would have permanently silenced this beta Fahilir long ago.
Since a demon was so sincerely asking for a beating.
Then Dekan would certainly satisfy him.
After all, this was his signature business, the one he started with.
Moreover, Dekan felt that he was in exceptionally good condition.
After Fahilir had maxed out his blood pressure, the originally somewhat chaotic thoughts and the anger accumulated in his heart had finally found an outlet.
But before that.
The truly important matter had yet to be resolved.
Dekan once again looked at Cornelia.
Before he could even speak, Fahilir’s furious roar rang out:
“You are not allowed to speak any further!!!”
Dekan had already discovered it.
Fahilir was doing it on purpose.
Besides being tricked by Dekan and brutally beaten by Bachel, he was now being insulted by the atmosphere between Dekan and Cornelia.
Fahilir could no longer bear the humiliation.
The only way to protect his dignity was to interrupt the conversation between these two.
“Later.”
Dekan said to Cornelia.
Dekan was also aware.
The matter between him and Cornelia could not be explained clearly in a short time.
The current scene and atmosphere were not suitable for them to continue talking.
So Dekan reverted to his original method of communication with Cornelia.
With just one word, she could understand.
“Mm…”
Cornelia lowered her head, her response as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
She understood. Dekan meant: After the Shadow World ends and we return to the real world, I will properly tell you some things.
Although there was an indescribable sense of loneliness in her heart, it was not because of Dekan.
The best solution for now was probably for the two of them to calm down and find a chance to talk after returning to the real world.
Otherwise, it would be very awkward for both her and Dekan.
Because Cornelia now felt that she did not know how to face Dekan anymore.
And in the distance.
Fahilir: “???”
How did these two manage to communicate successfully?
Could they use encrypted calls?
…
Dekan: “Wait.”
Cornelia: “Okay…”
Cornelia nodded slightly, preparing to follow Dekan's instructions and run to the portal leading to the seventh level to wait for him.
Even if they had a unique way of communicating.
There was not much more to say right now.
This place was filled with danger, they were being watched, and there was a Fahilir doing his utmost to ruin their atmosphere.
No matter what Dekan wanted to say.
Or what Cornelia wanted to hear.
They should not continue at this time, in this place.
“Gahahaha!”
Seeing that the disrespectful behavior of these two towards him had finally been stopped, Fahilir let out a strange, triumphant cackle.
…
Morion and the Cat Teacher, who were secretly peeking, were grinding their teeth in anger.
“That bastard warden, meow!”
“Cat Teacher, don’t even say it. Right now, even I want to go and kill him!”
Morion, who had always been very resistant to fighting, had actually become belligerent at this moment.
Although his plan had worked wonders.
The scene he and the Cat Teacher had most hoped to see would likely not have a chance to be witnessed with their own eyes.
“Damn it, meow! At such a critical moment when a young boy and girl are about to reveal their feelings, once the normal attack is interrupted, it’s very difficult to continue it, meow! Fahilir, you deserve to die!!”
The Cat Teacher pounded the ground with his paw and said in agony.
“And Dekan was interrupted three times… To be honest, he already did his best…”
Morion said as he covered his face.
Even if Dekan had truly realized Cornelia’s feelings for him and what he should confess to Cornelia.
At least for now, no matter what.
Dekan could not possibly bare his heart to Cornelia in front of him, the Cat Teacher, and all the live stream viewers.
He understood what the Cat Teacher meant.
Sometimes, when a critical moment is interrupted, it really cannot be continued.
The right time, the right place, the right people—if you miss it, you can only look for the next chance.
After all, when facing someone important to you.
Some words are not so easily spoken.
Everything needs to be just right.
Based on Dekan and Cornelia’s encrypted communication just now, the Cat Teacher and Morion had also roughly deduced their meaning.
Dekan still planned to have a proper talk with Cornelia after returning to the real world.
It was just that at that time, without the atmosphere and the support, the conversation might just revert to the mundane interactions of an old married couple.
After all, the way Dekan and Cornelia got along was very comfortable for both of them.
Neither of them was willing to easily break this balance.
…
Dekan watched Cornelia turn around.
He himself was also ready to deal with Fahilir.
He might have had a lot of things he needed to say to Cornelia.
But he could not finish saying them now.
It was not a good time or place to speak his true feelings.
However, as Dekan listened to Fahilir’s piercing laughter.
He felt that if he just let Fahilir be triumphant like this, no matter how he tormented Fahilir later, he would feel like he had lost.
Perhaps it was Dekan’s strange competitiveness.
Or perhaps it was his usual mischievous intentions.
It could also be that he had not truly calmed down yet.
Dekan looked at Cornelia’s slightly forlorn profile as she turned away in an instant.
He suddenly took a large step forward and grabbed Cornelia’s hand.
Under Cornelia’s surprised and astonished gaze.
Dekan gently hugged her.
“Huh?!”
Fahilir’s eyes widened as he watched all this, his laughter coming to an abrupt halt.
He felt as if he had suffered an unexpected and unimaginable mental critical hit!
And what was most unacceptable to him was.
Dekan even stuck his tongue out at him with a look full of provocation.
“Ahhhhh!!! You two animals, that’s enough!!! What do you take this place for!!!”
Fahilir roared, his eyes looking as if they would split, his face filled with madness, anger, and resentment!
“Hmph hmph.”
Dekan stroked Cornelia’s soft hair, smirking with a hint of triumphant mischief.
“That’s you, all right.”
Cornelia could not help but laugh out loud, even turning her head back to appreciate Fahilir’s expression.
She also learned from Dekan and stuck her tongue out at Fahilir in a retaliatory manner.
Immediately after, she buried her head in Dekan’s neck again, whispering in a low murmur:
“You really never let me down.”
