The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 631 Betrayal, Or Payback?



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Although they weren't quite certain what exactly the other party sought by agreeing to and showing up to this fight, and would never outwardly agree to cooperate with each other, both Narcissa and Gildroy knew what a disaster it would be to lose in front of so many people.

That was why, despite the primary motivation of the fight being to force Noelle out, neither of the two dared to hold back even a fraction of their strength. And while it was a shock to Gildroy, his ex-wife was actually able to go toe-to-toe with him this time.

He wasn't sure if she just suddenly improved tremendously after the last time he thrashed her, or if the difference between catching her off-guard and her being prepared was so great, but Gildroy didn't have time to worry about such things anymore.

Whether it was his ex-wife or his so-called daughter, he couldn't afford to lose to them in front of the entire Nightingale clan!

He could always discuss the deal that he'd made with Emilia later, but he couldn't afford to lose the ability to become the next had of the Nightingale clan, or he wouldn't have any bargaining chips on his side at all.

Not to mention, the disobedient aura he was feeling from Noelle made him believe that perhaps, deep down in her heart, she'd already had the audacious thought of replacing him as the next clan head because of those baseless rumors.

He was willing to admit that she was strong, and fast, but that alone wasn't what made him one of the best fighters in the Nightingale clan. No, he refused to believe that she could defeat him in a frontal fight!

No matter what he had to do, he couldn't afford to lose to this girl today!

Of course, compared to her ex-husband's complex thoughts, all Narcissa felt was betrayal. 'How dare she treat me like this?!'

And so, the people of the Nightingale clan witnessed a scene they'd never have dared imagine.

Gildroy and Narcissa, two of the best fighters of their Nightingale clan, moved in perfect sync for the first time, with only a single goal in their minds… to take down the girl in front of them.

And Noelle didn't seem afraid at all.

Even if she was likely to lose, just her courage alone gave people the chills, and many couldn't help but cheer for her in excitement.

"Go, Noelle!"

A fist flew in from the right side of her face while a kick whooshed right towards the back of her left knee, but the gray-haired girl remained calm as she crouched and blocked them both.

"You can do it!"

Of course, the loudest of all her supporters was Emilia, who attracted quite a few weird glances her way, but no one dared to approach her. After all, if what Noelle said earlier was true, it would probably be a bad idea to get too close to this girl and risk making their hidden genius jealous.

Even if their top fighter duo put her in a tough position, wouldn't dealing with little folk like them, who couldn't even follow her movements properly, be a piece of cake for someone like her?

Emilia obviously didn't mind the crowd's strange attitude towards her, however, and continued cheering the gray-haired girl on as she 'fought' with her parents.

With their intentions and movements being almost in sync, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their threat level had almost doubled, but Emilia knew that Noelle could beat them both if she really went all out.

The crimson-haired girl believed that the reason Noelle didn't do so was perhaps because she also realized that this was the perfect opportunity to punish her 'parents' for everything they did to her, and everything they didn't do for her, despite her earlier claims of none of it having any emotional impact on her at all.

Maybe Cynthia would call it hypocritical, but Emilia thought it was fine as long as it made Noelle feel better. 'But still… would she really be able to do it while restricting her strength and speed both to the same level as them?'

Her worries weren't unfounded, as despite her gracefully being able to avoid all of their attacks so far, it was always the gray-haired girl who seemed to be on the back foot in this fight.

Not even once was she able to throw a meaningful attack their way after the initial bout, and given it was a two on one fight, things could easily get worse.

Emilia didn't particularly like seeing the gray-haired girl take a few hits here and there, but she still held back from interfering since this was what Noelle wanted.

In fact, even if she really lost, Noelle wouldn't attract any disdain from the Nightingale clan's people. Since they considered only single battles 'honorable', the ones who actually intended to lose the most in this fight were actually her 'parents'.

After all, they don't 'win' anything even if they succeed, and become the laughingstock of the entire clan if they lose even going two on one against a much younger girl.

Unfortunately, the heat of the battle made it impossible for Gildroy and Narcissa to carefully analyze the situation, so they could only continue to put in all their energy into beating this 'villain' in front of them. The hatred they had for Noelle at that moment greatly exceeded even their disgust for each other, and that was no small feat.

With neither of them having been so frustrated their entire lives, perhaps it was no surprise that Noelle's 'parents' soon began to lose what little they had of their composure.

"You fucking cockroach, just die!"

"Stand still, you little bitch!"

Both of them used all their tricks and techniques that they had honed through decades of experience, but no matter what they tried, the greatest reaction they got in return was a strained grunt from the gray-haired girl.

If not for a few bruises painting her skin here and there, they would even doubt that the contact they'd seemingly made was an illusion.

Of course, initially their confidence was greatly boosted after realizing that Noelle's speed wasn't actually as scary as they'd 'mistakenly' believed, but that only fueled their confusion when they the two of them still couldn't beat her.

If she wasn't faster or stronger than either of them, and both of them were attacking her at the same time… just how was she keeping up?!
