Chapter 79: Madam, Do You Need Me to Keep It A Secret?
Charlotte sat in the carriage, leaning against the cushion, and drank two bottles of hemostatic potion.
This was for Buddy, who was driving outside, as it would be difficult to exin how he killed Wolverine and came out unscathed.
Vivian looked at Charlotte with a worried expression, several times wanting to speak but stopping herself. Her hand, hidden in her sleeve, tightly gripped her magic wand, as if she wanted to heal him with a spell.
Charlotte shook his head slightly at her and Capas had just been deceived back to the imperial capital. If Vivian exposed herself again, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Closing his eyes to rest, Charlotte began to review tonight''s battle with Wolverine.
It went without saying that it was dangerous, and luck was of utmost importance.
If he hadn''t been honed by the Judge in that mysterious space, giving himbat experience far beyond that of an ordinary knight apprentice, he would probably have died at the hands of Wolverine tonight.
Killing a Level 4 powerhouse as a Level 3 was undeniably exciting.
He opened his attribute panel:

...
Charlotte was pleasantly surprised to find that the proficiency levels of the Sword Pulling Technique, Whirling sh, and sh of Insight had all increased by exactly 100 points.
Considering that he had only increased his proficiency by 10 points after a night of serious sword practice, it seemed that life-or-death battles were the best way to improve proficiency.
However, he didn''t want to experience such a dangerous method of improvement again, no matter how fast it was. He could win many times, but if he lost once, there would be no chance to get back up.
The carriage arrived smoothly at the Harriman Estate. After the gatekeeper confirmed Buddy''s identity, arge magic barrier that enveloped the entire estate opened up, allowing the carriage to enter. It stopped in front of a beautiful vi, and Charlotte and Vivian got off.
A lovely fox maid waiting in front of the vi approached them and said softly, "Mr. Charlotte, Miss is waiting for you in the living room."
Charlotte nced at Vivian.
"Someone will take Miss Eileen to her resting ce," the maid smiled.
"Thank you for tonight," Charlotte nodded at Buddy and sped his hands together. He then followed the fox maid towards the vi.
The spacious vi hall was not gaudy with gold and jade but filled with shades of girlish pink. Pink diamonds and pink crystals adorned the surroundings, exuding luxury and elegance.
Diana was wearing a pink silk nightgown,zily reclining on a soft sofa. Her round and straight long legs were crossed, disying the most graceful curves. She smiled as she watched Charlotte enter the room and said, "I heard that you killed a wolf?"
"They say it was called Wolverine," Charlotte replied calmly, ncing at the enchanting curves of thendy, who could even wear a nightgown so coquettishly.
"Do you like my new nightgown?" Diana changed her leg position.
"It suits you very well," Charlotte nodded appreciatively.
"Interesting," Diana sat up and looked at Charlotte, covered in torn clothes and injuries. "I didn''t expect you to have such a good figure."
Didn''t you see all the injuries on my body? Are you only interested in my attractive physique? Charlotte humbly said, "I exercise regrly."
"Well, I bet the youngdies on Aman Street would love disciplined patrons like you," Diana remarked with a smile.
"..."
Do people have conversations like this?
What''s with this disciplined patron thing?
I need to rify!
How does Charlotte''s patronage concern me?!
"I am an upright person, and I never go to those kinds of ces," Charlotte said seriously.
"But I heard a friend say that there''s a manga called ''My Years of Frolicking on Aman Street,'' and the protagonist looks a lot like you," Diana examined Charlotte from head to toe.
What the hell!
It got around!
Damn author, ruining my reputation!
However...
Charlotte looked at Diana, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Madam, that friend you mentioned, could it be you?"
A blush shed across Diana''s face, and she said firmly, "Nonsense! It couldn''t possibly be me."
He watched as the woman''s rxed toes suddenly began tapping the ground. It seemed his guess was correct.
[Madam, you wouldn''t want others to know about your interest in adultics, would you...] Charlotte''s lips curled up slightly, but he didn''t dare to say it out loud.
After all, this was Diana''s territory.
However, he didn''t expect that a powerful woman like Diana would secretly read adultics too.
If she thought the male protagonist resembled him, then who did she imagine as the male lead in her usual fantasies? And why did she meet him today sote, still wearing her nightgown? What did she have in mind?
"Tell me, how did you kill that wolf?" Diana pped her hands and gestured for Charlotte to sit down and tell her slowly.
Charlotte looked at his dirty and blood-stained clothes. "It doesn''t matter; someone wille to clean upter," Diana waved it off.
In that case, Charlotte didn''t hold back. He sat down on the sofa, which was upholstered with top-quality animal hide filled with soft velvet. Once he sat down, it felt like sinking into afortable embrace, and the pleasant sensation rxed his entire body.
"He underestimated me. I stuffed a magic talisman into his mouth, used an instantaneous fourth-level Fireball spell, and then he died," Charlotte sinctly exined.
Diana''s eyes lit up. "A fourth-level Fireball exploding in his mouth must have been quite spectacr!"
"It was quite dazzling. Brains, blood, and mes all burst forth," Charlotte nodded, almost losing his life in the process.
"You killed Carol''spdog; he definitely won''t let you go," Diana grinned. "So, what are your ns for the future?"
Madam, I don''t want to work hard anymore. I want to freeload. Charlotte leaned closer to Diana, lowering his voice slightly. "I want to wipe out the Jadeson family."
Diana was stunned for a moment, and then she burst into uncontrobleughter, shaking with mirth.
"This is the funniest joke I''ve heard this year." After a while, her trembling chest gradually calmed down. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Come on, tell me about your n."
