A Destained Young Master Villain



A ship classified as B tier can be seen entering the Mevouires docking area, prompting notable interest and conjecture among the people regarding the possibility of the people inside the ship belonging to a noble lineage.

Although a B tier may not seem much, a ship of this caliber is still considered prestigious, usually reserved for individuals of noble lineage or those in high-ranking positions serving the Duke families.

"Who do you think just arrived on that ship?"

"He might be someone from the Mevoires family."

While there was a discussion among the people, a figure with black hair and a mask on, exited the ship, which attracted their attention as this figure seemed to be a young man.

They could not see his face, but nonetheless, he exuded an air of nobility.

This figure was none other than Zen, he had recently inquired of Marie if there was anything that could be used to alter his appearance as he had an appointment with someone at the Mevoires territory.

He did not want to attract attention, so he went undercover. Last time he came here, he garnered a lot of attention, and as a result, his identity was found out. This time, he took more precaution.

As for who he is meeting with? It was none other than the girl he saved from the Twilight Zone long ago.

He was still in need of the activation of the amethyst earring and required Crystal's assistance in accomplishing this.

So the condition he asked for Crystal back then in exchange for him helping them with the Doom Order was a date with her.

That was the reason she was as red as a tomato back then.

Naturally, he was only masquerading as a Good Samaritan. Who in their right mind would lend a hand to their arch-enemy? He could seize this golden chance to play a little puppeteer with Edward.

Zen walked through the crowd, which was looking at him curiously about his identity, but he ignored their gazes. The docking area was more crowded than the last time he came.

He halted before a woman who appeared to be the guard in charge of supervising the docking area.

'Why does this young man seem familiar?' She contemplated. "Hello, young master, the docking fee is…" just as she was about to finish her words. Zen handed her one thousand CDR, which was the same amount of money he gave her the first time he came here.

With a smile on his face, he said, "One hundred CDR—that's your tip." As her gaze fell upon the money resting on her palm, she pondered, 'What the heck, why does this situation feel so familiar? Is it deja vu or something?'

Zen walked away and started heading towards a cafe to wait for Crystal, leaving the confused woman behind.

========

Meanwhile, at a certain place,

Crystal was all dressed up and was about to leave, but suddenly someone spoke in the background, "Sister, where are you going?"

Seeing her all dressed up, he walked in front of her and asked seriously.

"Somewhere, why do you care? I can't even go out for once and take a breath of air?" she responded.

"It is quite dangerous right now, and there is also that outbreak that just happened recently. Let me go with you."

"Brother, this is the Mevouries territory; there is no such thing that will happen."

"Still, let me go with you."

"Why are you always so persistent? I can handle myself." Crystal said in an impatient tone, as she did not really want Zen waiting on her,

After uttering those words, she proceeded to unlatch the door and depart, forcefully shutting the door in front of Edward.

Upon witnessing this, Edward harbored a sense of suspicion and decided to discreetly trail her, concealing himself in the shadows. He wanted to find out what she was really up to.

Crystal proceeded towards the designated rendezvous point, mutually agreed upon by Zen and herself, which was close to where she, Edward, and Eliza were currently staying.

======

Zen was currently sitting inside a cafe, sipping the drink he ordered. "Wow, this drink is quite unique, quite different from the usual drinks back on Earth," he mumbled as he enjoyed the drink.

While drinking and fiddling with his phone, a young girl caught his attention in the distance that just entered the cafe. She was glancing around and seemed to be looking for someone.

This young girl was none other than Crystal!

Zen stood up and started approaching her, stopping in front of her, he graciously said, "Greeting young lady, it seems like you're lost, do you need someone to accompany you?"

Hearing someone talk to her, she turned her head to look. She thought it was Zen, but seeing this figure, she frowned. "No!" she exclaimed.

'Damn, I thought it was Zen seeing as he is wearing a mask, but this guy has black hair. Turns out its just some random guy hitting on me." She said internally.

Suddenly, the person in front of her leaned down at the same level as her face, about one inch away from her face, which surprised her. "I am just playin. Haha, I am Zenryx, I have my appearance changed for now since if I did not do so, I would attract a lot of attention." Zen stated as he chuckled at her reaction.

"A-a-ah, ok." Her face went red, seeing how close their faces were. "S-So where do you want to go first?" she asked.

"Hmm, let us eat first, and we can go visit some fun places."

After that they went on to popular areas and had fun, it seemed like little by little Zen was gaining her trust.

While on their date, Crystal also felt some girls gazes towards Zen, seemingly drawn to his air of nobility and perhaps harboring a desire to interact with him. Because of that, Crystal glared at them with killing intent, as if she were really about to kill them.

As they went on with their date, someone in the background was frowning at them, and he had a suspicion that the person she was with was actually Zenryx.

That was just the feeling he got in his gut. In fact, he was always with her and knows Crystal had not been in contact with anyone other than Zenryx.

While they were walking, Zen noticed him, and a grin appeared on his face. He grabbed Crystal's wrist, leading her to a corner. Edward, who saw this, also hurriedly followed them.

Once they were out of sight from people, he took off his mask, intending to show a glimpse of his face to Edward momentarily, who was hiding in the dark.

This confirmed Edward's guess that he was indeed Zenryx Raverdiue.
