The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 562: Done and Dusted

Although she was too speechless to voice her thoughts, the gray-haired woman’s expression still pissed Emilia off.     

“Since you keep insisting on ruining my things today, let’s see if I can’t rub your face into the ground and make you call me mommy!”     

Of course, she understood that their expressions were only weird because of her current form, and her words would only make their thoughts turn stranger, but that didn’t help her mood at all!     

Seeing the man they now considered ‘dangerous’ step forward so confidently, the remaining seven Nightingale clan members couldn’t help but take a step back cautiously, only to be surprised by their own instinctual reaction.     

No, even if the man was stronger than expected, so what?     

It was true that their comrade had fainted in one hit, but Hope’s kick was never something one could take lightly, and it wasn’t surpising for him to be knocked out after she reacted like that.     

The man was fast and unexpectedly strong, but there was no way he could fight off all seven of them alone!     

Realizing how ‘cowardly’ they must have appeared when they collectively took a step back, they couldn’t help but be both embarrassed and furious.     

It was all this idiot’s fault for acting so arrogant and making them lose their composure!     

Although none of them were the ‘elites’ of the clan, it wouldn’t be a lie to say that none of them expected their mission to this port town to be much of a challenge.     

Not many people had the courage to stand up against the name of the Nightingale clan, and fewer still had the strength to really do so. How could someone like that just happen to bump into them in such a remote location?     

And once they were shocked by the unexpected situation, how deplorable was it for that disgusting Andrew to take advantage of their surprise to fool them like this?     

It only took most of them a few seconds to realize this ‘truth’, but before they could do anything about it, another one of their comrades had been sent flying by Andrew into the wall.     

Not only did it shatter their previous speculations into bits and pieces, but also a part of the wall.     

“…”     

Emilia grinned. “It’s great to not have to hold back much since you’re all quite sturdy… presumably.”     

With her unfortunate appearance at the moment, Emilia’s happy expression only made Hope and her teammates more depressed. If they still doubted Andrew’s ability after seeing their second comrade’s breathing turn shallow and erratic with just one kick, they really wouldn’t have the face to continue calling themselves members of the Nightingale clan!     

‘Andrew’ surprisingly didn’t dodge at all when they immediately launched a fierce, coordinated counter attack at their team leader’s signal, but none of them held back any strength because of that.     

Considering his offense so far, even if Andrew accidentally died, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.     

Of course, Emilia had no intention of letting them beat her up, and the reason she didn’t dodge was simple.     

Although her opponents outnumbered her, they were simply far, far too slow. Even if she stood still and allowed them all to get within striking distance, Emilia was confident that she would still have enough time to knock them all into next week one by one.     

Being the one with the fastest reaction time and observation ability, Hope watched in horror as all her team members flew off and away from her one by one, with the hideous man’s hands and legs being barely noticeable as a blur.     

Despite her combat skills and reaction time being far superior to that of her teammates, Hope’s ending wasn’t any different as she felt a ruthless kick plunge into her belly in succession.     

For a moment, she couldn’t help but doubt if she was stuck in a nightmare.     

A man who could move like this… would even the elders of the clan be able to deal with him?!         

How could she meet such an unreasonable monster on her first mission?     

Unlike all her teammates who crashed into the room’s walls and failed to get up again, Hope smashed right through the heavy wooden table at the center of the room.     

Perhaps it was this ‘cushioning’ of the impact that allowed her to remain conscious enough to notice a pair of feet not far from where she landed, followed by some strangely familiar clothing.     

Before her vision could move further up and her muddled brain could comprehend more, however, Hope’s face was smashed into the floor with a dull snort from her opponent.     

Strangely enough, her last thought wasn’t of how she would take revenge if she managed to survive, but how weirdly soft and small that ugly bastard’s foot was.     

Fortunately, Emilia couldn’t hear the girl’s thoughts, or she would have probably made her ‘bite the dust’ all over again.     

“Humph, how lucky of you to have fainted! If you really saw it…” Shaking her head, the now naked girl walked back to the now destroyed sofa before dusting off her dress with a sigh. “Big sister picked it for me so happily, and now it’s all dirty… it won’t lose its shine on first wash, right?”     

But although the crimson-haired girl was worried, she could only slip the sundress back on her body before ‘reorganizing’ the human mountain.     

“The three of them over here… eight here…? Ugh, this one doesn’t look right on the top, his butt is too big, and I don’t want it to look funny when the pictures are taken!”     

Emilia decisively made a new pile with the man now at the very bottom, and tossed Hope at its peak at the end. “There… perfect!”      

Now that the gangster’s office was already destroyed, it actually saved her some trouble, and had these troublemakers not been from the Nightingale clan, she might even have thanked them for speeding things up… maybe.     

As it was, though, sparing their lives was the best she could do.     

“How do you know they’re all alive?”     

“Aren’t they? I’m not sure, actually… wait a minute…” Emilia paused. “…weren’t you supposed to be sleeping?”     

Cynthia would obviously never admit that she was watching her partner’s ‘saved’ states to ‘cleanse her eyes’ after that horrific picture before, and had immediately noticed when the skill was reactivated, so she quickly came up with a passable excuse.     

“I-I just happened to wake up from my nap now?”
