Chapter 290


    A hoarse, mechanically altered valce echoed in Xanthea’s ears, sending chills down her spine as she


    stood in a dimly lit room filled with a pervasive, musty stench.


    -The guardian of the Queen crown?


    So, the reason no NPC had approached her before was because they had left her to face the ultimate


    big boss!


    He must look terrifying, right? Maybe a gaping maw, a green face with sharp fangs?


    Trembling, her eyshes fluttering, Xanthea tried to calm her nerves. “If you’re guarding the Queen’s


    crown, then quard it. Why are you holding on to me?”


    “You were about to take the Queen’s crown.”


    Well, that seemed logical,


    “Okay, I won’t take it, just let me go!” she demanded, struggling to break free.


    But the more she struggled, the tighter his grip became. It seemed he relished in the shivers of fear


    running through her body, as he nuzzled into her hair and hisrge hand greedily squeezed her slender


    waist. His breath was hot and heavy on her sensitive neck–apletely possessive and lewd gesture.


    Xanthen froze


    What was he doing?


    A normal NPC should have let go at her request, but he didn’t. Instead, he intensified his hold!


    “Let go of me. now!”


    “I can’t bear to, what do I do? Ms. Nightshade, you’re so clever and enticing, lurking in the shadows


    has made me crave you. I’ve been wanting to ”


    He whispered three words into her ear that made Xanthea’s eyes widen in rm


    He was definitely not normal!


    Either he was programmed as a perverted NPC, or he was a creep from the Adventure Blitz: Two


    Days, One Night crew who had been eyeing her for a long time!


    Now, with no lights and no cameras around, and him saying such vile things, it had to be thetter!


    What should she do? The room was pitch ck, no one else was around, and if he did something to


    her


    Completely panicked, Xanthea’s hair stood on end, and the only name that shed through her


    bewildered mind was that of a protector


    Feeling the girl in his arms trembling involuntarily as if truly frightened, the ghost guarding the Queen’s


    crown was about to let go when she threatened loudly, “Let me go, or Orion won’t let you off!”


    “Who?”


    The ghost paused briefly.


    “Orion!”


    That’s Mr. Lockwood from the crew, you must have seen him, right? Let me tell you, he’s really tough. If


    you touch a single hair on my head, you can’t imagine the consequences!”


    Hearing this, the ghost behind her went silent. Just as Xanthea thought he was intimidated and was


    preparing to make her escape, he suddenly leaned close to her ear, almost touching, his voice tinged


    with amusement, “Oh? How tough is he?”


    “Tough enough to beat ten of you!”


    “Really?”


    Hisughter seemed to grow more joyful, his arms around her not loosening in the slightest, “He’s that


    impressive in your eyes? And what is he to you?”


    “He’s_*


    Xonthea started to reply but then caught herself, sensing a trap What if this creepy NPC wasn’t just


    nning something sinister but also used this secret to ckmail or extort her? That could be a big


    problem.
