Chapter 251: Chapter 161 I’m Really Not Cao Zei (Seeking Recommendation Votes and Monthly Votes)_2

Miss Noma’s face turned paler, just as Qin Chu had said. He truly had no reason to help save Karsas. Only a person with an unsound mind would do such a thing.

On her way here, she had desperately thought of many reasons, such as Karsas’s great strength and his ability to help fight against the demons, but now she realized these reasons were of no use to Qin Chu.

The stronger Karsas was, the less likely it was for Qin Chu to save him, making it even more dangerous for Qin Chu.

Her pearly teeth tightly clenched her lips, and ultimately, she could only speak in a trembling voice:

"Mr. Qin, if... if you are willing to save Karsas, Miss Noma is willing to do anything."

However, once she had said it, she felt she was being too presumptuous.

The two women who had just appeared in the hall made an impression; one in a maid costume looked enchanting and tender as water, the other girl, full of allure, noble and graceful.

Compared to those two girls, she would have no appeal.

Even saying such words seemed like she was merely humiliating herself.

Qin Chu was not surprised by Noma’s decision; her personality was stronger than her fragile exterior might suggest. He sighed leisurely:

"Miss Noma, girls must learn to cherish themselves."

"Do you know that a gentle and beautiful lady like you saying such words can easily be misunderstood? If today you had met someone other than a gentleman like me, you might have paid a very heavy price."

Qin Chu’s attitude was clearly different from when he dealt with Catherine and Asina.

He had no resentment towards Noma.

In fact, he felt some pity, as this girl clearly had many better choices, yet was stubbornly focused on Karsas.

"Karsas is lucky to have had you as a fiancee, a blessing he must have accrued over eight lifetimes." Qin Chu added, "Oh, no, an ex-fiancee, what an ingrate."

Noma had not expected such a response and was momentarily at a loss.

"By the way, Miss Noma, could you tell me something about Jie Luo? You’ve met him, right?" Qin Chu tilted his head and suddenly changed the subject.

"Jie Luo? Mr. Brave?" Noma paused to think. She did not understand why Qin Chu suddenly shifted to Jie Luo, but she answered honestly, "I’ve only met him three times."

"He is a very charming person."

This was Noma’s evaluation of Jie Luo, not different from others.

Very charming?

This charm even seemed a bit odd, as it could increase others’ fondness for him without affecting their minds.

Unlike the charm that manipulates emotions, different from hypnosis, and certainly not like soul domination...

Qin Chu thought Noma’s evaluation would be simple, but to his surprise, Noma’s brows furrowed as if she hesitated to speak.

After a few seconds, Noma finally whispered, "But, he scares me a little."

This was the first time Qin Chu had heard such an assessment from someone who had interacted with Jie Luo.

Neither Augustus nor Wozworth had felt the same.

Fear?

Noma was afraid of Jie Luo?

"Why?"

"I... I don’t know. Despite being a highly charming person, popular wherever he goes and even able to suppress Karsas’s dark power, I instinctively want to keep my distance. It’s like a voice in my ear telling me not to get close to him, it might become dangerous."

Noma carefully chose her words, expressing purely her subjective feelings.

Interesting.

It seems this timid girl might be slightly more mysterious than I originally thought.

She is the only one who could resist Jie Luo’s charm; perhaps, I should observe her more!

Qin Chu became curious.

After a pause, Noma spoke up, "Mr. Brave, about Karsas..."

"Ah, that guy who tried to kill me twice without any justified cause. I really didn’t want to help him, but seeing your devoted affection, I’ll lend a hand." Qin Chu added in his mind, Hmm, I’ll help make his death even more miserable.

"But please don’t hold too much expectation. My words might not be effective after all; although I am a Hero, my strength has not yet matured. Most importantly, due to the calamity of the Evil God triggered by the prince recently, people have an instinctive fear of dark and sinister forces. Augustus and several others are very likely to stick to their original opinion."

Qin Chu did not directly agree.

But this response alone was enough to send Noma into ecstasy, far beyond her expectations, unlike the facade put on by Rose Vesper, the true innocent girl blushed profusely, continuously nodding her head.

"Then, let’s set off now, to the Holy Court. Karsas is being held in the dungeons of the Holy Court," Qin Chu said as he stood up, donning a black silk top hat and a black formal coat, addressing Noma.

Night had fallen, the bright moon hanging in the sky.

Qin Chu did not hire a carriage, not because he did not want to, but because he could not.

Due to severe damage to the streets in the Noble District, carriages were currently infeasible and under repair.

By the time the two arrived at the entrance of the Holy Court, they just saw Augustus, holding his magic wand, preparing to leave.
