Life of a Villain

Chapter 35 - Who?

{{{A few minutes before Andy arrived in the basement}}}

Many beautiful women were locked in different cages in the basement of a building, and many of them chatted among themselves as noise and murmurs surrounded the room.

Among them was a woman in a green robe slouching on the ground, her face hidden between her knees and one hand locked in a thick iron chain.

Her eyes were closed as various emotions rose within her. Her heart was feeling worried, but also her mind was filled with doubts.

She does not know who she is or where she comes from. It was two days ago when she opened her eyes to find herself in a swamp, her entire body covered in dirt and mud. When she tried to remember why she was there, a severe headache overcame her, as if something was interrupting her memories.

It happened every time she tried to remember something.

Her body was in excruciating pain as she struggled to walk and, fortunately, discovered a village nearby. But before she could approach the villagers, she was kidnapped by mercenaries and sold to this place.

When she reached this location. The women here cleaned her and forced her to wear the green robe. She vividly remembered the look of greed and lust in many of the eyes of men when she walked to this place. She was disgusted, and she wished she could leave this place, but she lacked the power to do so. They chained her and locked her in a cage like a ready-to-be-sold animal.

Last night, she was told that she was sold and her new owner would pick her up today. She felt worried; worried about her future. She did not know who she was, and now she's being sold?

She had only known one thing all of this time: she was in this condition because she had been brutally assaulted. When those women removed her clothes and cleaned her body of dirt, she noticed that her body was filled with scabs and marred with marks.

As she was lost in her thoughts, the entire room went silent and voices of two men reached her ears, one of which was the owner of this place, who told her she was being sold. Now, he bought another customer.

She didn't mind, as she was engrossed with her own dilemmas. But then, she felt a familiar feeling. Her heartbeat sped up as she lifted her head to see the one man in a black robe and silvery-white hair, his half face covered in the black mask staring at the owner. She didn't know why, but she knew she had felt a familiar sensation before but couldn't place it. Her head ached slightly as she tried to think.

As her gaze was fixed on the man in front of her, she noticed the black-robed man's surprised expression when he looked at her. She didn't know why, but those blue eyes were pulling her towards them. It was the first time in two days that she wasn't disgusted with someone. But her heart skipped a beat when she noticed a smile forming on the man's face as he walked towards her.

She was perplexed; was he the same man she had been told about? As she was thinking about various things, she heard the sound of the cage opening and saw the owner quickly open her lock. Her gaze shifted to the man in front of her, who smiled as he entered the door. Her heart thumped as she stared at that man, her eyes filled with confusion. Suddenly, she noticed the man reaching out his hands to her, and some words reached her ears.

However, when she heard the words, she froze in her place and her eyes went wide.

"You are Su Xin from now on,"

'Su Xin'. She felt very familiar with this name, as if it had been her name before she lost her memories. But how did he know what her name was? Did he know who she was?

"Su Xin?" she muttered unconsciously as her eyes stared at the man in front of her, hoping for an answer. But then she noticed that the man was slightly shaking his head as his soft voice reached her again, while a smile remained on his face.

"It's Susan, not Su Xin,"

Her brows furrowed when she heard that name. Despite that, her heart was still thumping faster, this was the second clue she got after landing at this place.

Doubts arose in her heart, but when she saw those blue eyes staring softly with slight expectations in them, her hand moved forward unconsciously to grab that hand.

Meanwhile, Andy's heart was racing, and he cursed silently as he made a huge mistake by telling her name in excitement. Susan, fortunately, matched Su Xin. And no one would question her given name since even his name is strange in this world.

Andy pulled her up just as her soft and small hand rested on his palm. When she stood up, both of their eyes locked on each other for a moment before a small smile formed on his face and he softly said, "Let's go."

When he saw her nod, he turned around and moved out of the cage, still holding her hands as if he was afraid he would lose her if he let her hands go.

Andy nodded at the owner, who walked in front as all of them exited the basement. But as soon as he came out of it. His eyes greeted the sight of three men coming in his direction. The man in the front wore a Yellow robe as his black hair was tied, while his hand carried a fan. And the two men following him wore the white robe.

The entire area was filled with commotion, with many people fighting and bidding for the slaves. However, Andy's brow furrowed when he noticed that the man's gaze was fixed on Susan, while his eyes revealed slight greed and lust.

Andy shook his head and changed course as he drew Susan along with him, but the corner of his eye noticed the owner was rooted to the spot. Somehow he felt an annoying fly named some young master was going to bug him on, and as expected, his ears heard a voice.

"Wait?"

Andy sighed as his steps came to a halt and he looked at Susan, nodded, and then turned around to face that man.

"What?" Andy muttered slowly, his gaze fixed on the man in front of him when one man in white shouted loudly.

"HOW DARE YOU? HOW CAN YOU STARE AT YOUNG MASTER LIKE THAT. QUICKLY KOWTOW TO THE YOUNG MASTER, OTHERWISE, I WILL PULL YOUR EYES OUT,"

Andy's brow furrowed as he looked at the man who had just shouted, and then a Long Heavy sword appeared in his hand, as he waved it to the man in white.

The entire area fell silent as the man was sliced in half and his body fell to the ground, while Andy peered at the horror-filled eyes of the so-called young master, who was staring at the sliced body lying in a pool of blood.

Suddenly, Andy's soft voice echoed throughout the room.

"Who?"
