The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

After a while, Lia recovered her composure.

She elegantly lifted her teacup, wearing a slightly embarrassed but still polite smile.

"Ah, haha... so that's how it is."

"I misunderstood, I'm truly sorry, Duke Levi."

Under Duke Levi's explanation, Lia finally understood.

In fact, the situation wasn't as simple as what Lia had imagined.

She had thought Viktor had gotten the duke's daughter pregnant.

Even thinking about it made Lia feel embarrassed.

She hoped they weren't angry about it.

She gently brought the teacup to her lips, leisurely taking a sip, then raised her head to glance at Duke Levi's reaction.

Levi still wore a gentle smile, as if he hadn't taken Lia's earlier misunderstanding to heart.

"It's good that we've cleared up the misunderstanding. It was my fault for not explaining earlier."

His friendly demeanor made Lia feel as if she was basking in spring breeze.

This made Lia quite impressed.

Look at his magnanimity - no wonder he became a duke.

"Well then, in some time, I'll send someone to sign the contract. We can discuss details then."

Levi stood up, nodded slightly to Lia, and continued:

"The carriage isn't far, Miss Lia needn't see me out."

Lia also stood up immediately, politely nodding.

"Take care, Duke."

The doorman respectfully opened the main door, bowing to the duke.

Lia remained standing in place, her eyes following the duke's retreating figure.

Only after completely confirming that Levi had gotten into his carriage and left did she turn back to the sofa.

She sat down heavily, covering her forehead with her palm.

Sigh...

She let out a deep sigh.

The duke's words had informed her that Viktor had returned to the capital but hadn't come home immediately.

The duke said Viktor had first safely escorted Erica home, then took her back to the academy.

Moreover, regarding business matters, Viktor had asked Duke Levi to discuss details with her.

Lia's feelings were complicated.

She wasn't sure if this counted as Viktor's trust in her.

Lia thought to herself:

Perhaps Viktor also felt that returning home would mean being troubled by numerous visitors.

With his personality that disliked hassle, he definitely wouldn't come back immediately to avoid such situations.

Lia gradually began feeling drowsy, leaning back on the sofa.

As if thinking of something, her eyes became slightly unfocused.

"Viktor's... child?"

For a moment, she had even thought about it.

If Viktor really brought back a child with the surname "Kravina", what should she do?

After all, being Viktor's child would make them a member of the Kravina family.

Every time she thought about Viktor's busy figure, Lia would feel somewhat troubled.

Moreover, with Viktor's indifferent personality, people might misunderstand and think his child was adopted.

A very special thought suddenly emerged from deep within Lia's heart:

"Should I... help Viktor raise the child?"

As soon as this thought emerged, she snapped back to awareness, sitting bolt upright, eyes wide, her cheeks red as caramel.

"How-how-how-how could that be! How could he have a child... no, how could I help him raise a child!"

Lia's emotions began to become agitated, like a tangled rope, difficult to untie.

Finally, she shook her head, forcefully patted her cheeks with both hands, trying to calm herself down.

"No, I can't keep thinking wild thoughts."

"Calm down, calm down."

Suddenly, the blue crystal ball hanging at her waist gradually lit up.

This was a magical communication device used for two-way communication, expensive to make, and Lia had always used it for communication.

Lia was somewhat puzzled and took it from her waist.

From within the sapphire crystal ball came Gwen's voice:

"Lia."

The voice was familiar, though compared to before, today it seemed more detached.

Lia remained silent, and hearing her continued silence, the other side of the crystal ball also fell quiet.

Finally, Lia spoke up to ask:

"What is it, Gwen?"

Gwen's voice was full of coldness:

"Has he... returned?"

......

Clatter clatter... clip-clop clip-clop...

The sound of carriage wheels rolling over cobblestones, accompanied by the rhythm of horse hooves firmly striking the ground, moved forward together.

The du Cloye family's carriage stopped at the academy's main gate, and two people stepped out from the carriage.

It was currently noon, and there was a bustling crowd both inside and outside the academy, with pedestrians streaming past continuously.

The crowd all turned their gazes toward the carriage, watching intently with nervous anticipation.

Passersby and students all wanted to confirm if the person stepping down from the carriage would be that genius girl Erica.

Erica then stepped out from within the carriage, her golden hair gently swaying in the breeze like brilliant golden waves.

She still appeared confident and composed, standing straight with elegant posture.

The crowd at the roadside all widened their eyes, staring at Erica in amazement, even passing students felt extremely shocked:

"It's Erica, Erica's back!"

"It's been so long, we haven't seen her in such a long time."

"Last year's freshman champion, the youngest genius... compared to the princess this year, wonder who's more outstanding."

"Should be Erica, right? After all, she's two years older than the princess."

The passersby and students were bantering back and forth, but suddenly fell silent.

Because in the next second, a cold and stern man also stepped down from the carriage.

He still wore that black coat, with his signature one-eyed crow perched on his shoulder.

On his chest was pinned a badge bearing three broken human heads, lifelike in detail.

If seeing Erica had only brought nostalgia and surprise,

Now, seeing Viktor, there was nothing but shocking commotion.

"It's Professor Viktor!!"

"Professor Viktor is back!"

Seeing Viktor's figure, students excitedly cheered in celebration, and a wave of frenzied spectating suddenly arose in the crowd, like startled birds scattering in flight to inform others.

Some newly enrolled students were seeing Viktor in person for the first time, their faces showing youthful excitement.

"Is this the legendary Professor Viktor?"

"He's so handsome...."

However, more people suddenly realized.

Holy crap!

Why did Professor Viktor get out of the du Cloye family's carriage?

There were rumors saying Professor Viktor liked minors, which was why he chose to become a professor at the academy.

Could those rumors be true...

People discussed among themselves, even recalling the incident when Viktor had confessed to the du Cloye family's daughter.

As well as the scene of him embracing the blonde girl during the battle at Padalenbu Sea.

Wasn't that Erica?

Damn, it's confirmed, who would have thought they really had something going on!?

Teacher... student romance!?

Boom!

Once this news spread, the entire crowd fell into an uproar, everyone beginning intense discussions.

Viktor looked at the large crowd gathering around, his brows slightly furrowing.

There were too many people blocking the road, he really disliked it.

Erica was still standing on the road, facing the crowd, aware of Professor Viktor's displeasure.

She was about to speak up to disperse the crowd.

But suddenly, a figure with silver-white long hair walked over, carrying a noble and elegant bearing that matched her refined academy uniform.

Countless people recognized who it was and consciously made way.

Aurelianne walked over slowly, expressionless, as if she hadn't seen Erica at all.

She walked up to Viktor and gracefully bowed deeply.

"Teacher."

Aurelianne had also come.

At this moment, a wave of exclamations rose from the crowd, as if witnessing something extraordinary.

Viktor looked down at Aurelianne, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Frankly speaking, he didn't like such scenes of being surrounded by onlookers.

His original intention was to return directly to the academy, handle some matters and then leave.

But being discovered while accompanying Erica was within expectations.

He just hadn't expected Aurelianne to rush over so quickly after receiving the news.

Erica looked at the two of them, pausing for a moment.

Just now, Erica could feel it.

Aurelianne had clearly glanced at her, though quickly averting her gaze.

And in that gaze, she clearly felt the other's inexplicable hostility.

But, Aurelianne had shown hostility towards her multiple times, and she wouldn't submit before Aurelianne just because she was a princess.

So, Erica spoke up to ask Aurelianne:

"Your Highness, do you have any matters to attend to?"

"If not, then I shall proceed to report to the academy with the professor."

Erica deliberately emphasized the words "with the professor".

Hearing Erica's challenging tone, instantly, it stirred up commotion in the crowd.

Aurelianne and Erica.

One was last year's freshman champion, one was this year's freshman champion.

The tug-of-war between two outstanding genius freshman champions was undoubtedly the focus of many people's attention.

Some people believed Erica was more formidable due to being older and more experienced.

Others felt that Aurelianne's ability to stand out under increasingly strict freshman assessment showed she clearly had superhuman talent.

Thus, the academy internally evolved into two major factions:

The Gold faction and the Silver faction.

That is, supporters of Erica and Aurelianne respectively.

Feeling the atmosphere becoming tense, Viktor also felt he couldn't continue being a bystander,

Just as he was about to speak up to stop all this and disperse the crowd.

Suddenly, a jet of black magic descended from the sky, landing on the street, stirring up black mist.

Then, from within the darkness came a familiar alluring female voice:

"Everyone, this is the academy entrance, please don't loiter here."

As the black mist dispersed, Henie appeared among the crowd, her swaying graceful figure seemingly full of temptation.

The moment she appeared on the street, the surrounding students, both male and female, were all transfixed.

Henie wore only the standard teacher's uniform, but her voluptuous figure and self-evident bewitching demeanor made people unable to look away involuntarily.

Along with that charm constantly emanating from her, it made many innocent young men and women feel somewhat overwhelmed.

When they saw Henie appear, many students didn't even dare raise their heads to look at her.

That's right, besides the Gold faction and Silver faction, a new faction had actually emerged in this academy.

Besides the Gold faction and Silver faction, this academy seemed to have spawned a new faction - Henie's followers.

Because of Henie's unique youthfulness, friendliness and near-peer characteristics, even though she was a professor, she had become the dream lover in many young students' hearts.

However, their dream lover was looking at Viktor.

And Viktor's gaze was also fixed on Henie.

When he saw that Henie's loose robe was gone in an instant, Viktor's brows furrowed tightly.

Just as he was about to say something...
