Chapter 507: Chapter 350: Confrontation Between Qin Chu and Shaye (2)

Shaye Nicholas also found her feelings strange.

She was somewhat confident in her memory, able to recall almost everyone she met, and she was very certain she had not known Qin Chu before.

This was normal.

Qin Chu was a Second Generation Brave Warrior, summoned to this world not even a year ago.

For the past several years, she had been staying in the Demon King City; this was her first departure, and she absolutely couldn’t have met Qin Chu.

But where did that inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy come from?

Listening to Shaye Nicholas’s voice and looking at this woman’s appearance, Carlos grew increasingly agitated.

Have we met before?

This was one of the most common and clichéd pick-up lines among the nobles.

Yet, strangely, these words came from this beautiful woman’s mouth. What did that mean? Could it be that this woman had taken a liking to the Hero Qin Chu and even wanted to initiate a conversation?

The thought of this woman considering him a foolish clown, yet making advances towards Qin Chu, nearly drove Carlos mad.

Underneath that sunny, handsome, and elegant face, jealousy raged wildly like a blazing fire, almost turning Carlos to ashes.

He had never hated a person as much as he did now.

However, at this moment, neither Qin Chu nor Shaye Nicholas paid any attention to Carlos’s presence.

Qin Chu wanted to know why Shaye went to the Imperial City.

Shaye wanted to understand the inexplicable familiarity she felt towards the Hero.

Poor clown, completely ignored.

The gentle smile remained on Qin Chu’s face, the previous expletive seemingly having no impact on his image. Pretending to ponder for a moment, he then said, "Um, I think you might have mistaken me for someone else, Miss. We probably have not met."

"Is that so?" Shaye fell into a brief contemplation.

This was consistent with her feeling; she also confirmed she had never met Qin Chu.

But why did that familiar feeling become even stronger?

His face, his figure, even his voice, all seemed to evoke a strong sense of déjà vu.

"I still don’t know the young lady’s name?" Qin Chu broke the silence.

"Shaye... Shaye Nicholas."

Hiss!

Jealousy intensified in Carlos’s heart.

He had asked several times before, but this woman had no intention of disclosing her name; yet now she so readily told Qin Chu?

Why the double standards?

"Nice name," Qin Chu complimented again: "As beautiful as your appearance."

Pah... Shameless, fawning over women, you’re a disgrace to men.

Carlos cursed incessantly in his heart, completely forgetting his own behavior had been even worse before.

Shaye Nicholas covered her mouth and chuckled lightly; unlike Carlos, Qin Chu’s compliments didn’t make her feel disgusted. Instead, she felt somewhat happy.

Although she was used to seeing Shaye’s appearance, when that smile appeared, Qin Chu was still slightly dazzled, and Carlos’s eyes widened even more.

"Mr. Brave speaks well. By the way, could I invite you to have dinner with me?"

Shaye’s words seemed a bit awkward.

But Qin Chu immediately understood, "Of course, it would be my honor..."

"What do you think of that shop?" Qin Chu’s gaze shifted to the side, to a dessert shop known for its tasty cakes and milk tea.

Shaye’s eyes lit up slightly; this man had guessed her preferences correctly.

Just as she was about to agree, Carlos, sensing an opportunity, stepped in front of Shaye with a smug look, "Miss Shaye, this kind of milk tea and cake shop is too vulgar and utterly unworthy of your status."

"Milk tea and cake, such tasteless foods, are not worth your palate. I know a hotel, the most luxurious, tasteful, and upscale in the entire Imperial Palace. Why don’t I..."

Carlos spoke excitedly, his spit flying.

He totally failed to notice that Shaye Nicholas’s expression was growing colder and more displeased by the second.

That damned fool, how dare he disparage milk tea and cake? Who gave him the courage?

Just as Carlos continued to ramble on, Shaye finally couldn’t bear it any longer, "Sir, your voice sounds as nauseating as a baboon in the forest."

"So, can you get lost?"

Perhaps, this was indeed Shaye Nicholas’s true character?

Screech!

Carlos’s voice abruptly stiffened in his throat, watching as Shaye Nicholas, swaying her graceful figure, entered the cake shop with Qin Chu.

Carlos shivered suddenly, as if he had just come out of his earlier stiffness.

The next second, his whole body gasped a breath of cold air.

A baboon?

He, Carlos Alran, the president of the adventurer’s guild, the eldest son of the Marquis Family, was being called such a creature?

If being called a foolish clown before was an unprecedented humiliation, the level of shame had just escalated.

His gaze fixated on the backs of the two figures, flames practically shooting from Carlos’s eyes.

Damned wench.

"You will pay for this."

And that bastard Qin Chu, did he specifically come to oppose me? This matter won’t end so quickly, absolutely not.

Whether Shaye Nicholas or Nadia, he had to have both women.

"It seems we have offended someone."

In the dessert shop, Qin Chu ordered himself a cup of coffee and without asking Shaye Nicholas, ordered her a slice of chocolate cake.

Shaye’s eyes grew brighter and her smile deepened.

Initially unhappy about the order made without her consent, Shaye was surprised to find it was her favorite, which immediately turned her dissatisfaction into fondness.

Could this be what they call fate?

On the other hand, Qin Chu felt a slight pang in his heart.

He habitually ordered Shaye a chocolate cake, forgetting that it was only their first meeting.

The woman was smiling at him, could it have aroused her suspicion?

It looked like he needed to be more careful from now on.

"Miss Shaye, you seem to not be from the Imperial City?" The silence around made Qin Chu feel pressured, so he decided to initiate the conversation and break the silence, starting their strategic dialogue.

"How do you know?" Shaye raised her eyebrows.

"If there had been a beauty like you in the Imperial City, you would certainly have become famous far and wide," Qin Chu honestly said, spreading his hands.

Why did compliments about her beauty from Carlos disgust her, yet when they came from the man in front of her, they pleased her so?

"Mr. Brave really knows how to speak, you must be quite popular with women," Shaye Nicholas glanced at Qin Chu playfully, feeling curious why she didn’t seem to care so much in his presence.

"However, you’re right, I indeed do not live in the Imperial City, my home is... well, another city, a bit far from here."

"So, what brought you to the Imperial City? Are you here for tourism?" Qin Chu raised his eyebrows.

Shaye’s smile remained unchanged as her finger gently twirled the spoon: "Is the Hero interrogating me?"

"Not at all, actually, I’m not very good at chatting with girls..."

"But, we need to find some topics to continue, we can’t just sit here face to face doing nothing," Qin Chu honestly said.

"You’re quite frank..." Shaye smiled softly: "Well, I came here mainly to look for someone, actually two people."

"Oh, who are they?"

"One of them should be a woman, impersonating me and deceiving others."

Creak...

Qin Chu felt as if his heart suddenly contracted.

Testing.

This was definitely Shaye Nicholas’s test for him.

It seemed Shaye Nicholas must have known something, but not the whole story, and without solid evidence, that’s why she used this approach to probe his thoughts. Otherwise, how could the Dark Witch so easily reveal her real intentions?

In the following conversation, every sentence was a test, and he could not afford to give away any hint of a flaw.

Qin Chu’s face showed slight surprise: "No way, a beautiful girl like Miss Shaye being impersonated? Who else could do that?"

Shaye exhaled in frustration, puffing her cheeks: "I don’t know who it is, but it really annoys me."

Shaye didn’t know her exact situation either, and seemed to drop all her defenses when facing Qin Chu, openly stating her purpose.

"And the other person?" Qin Chu asked further.

"That person, unknown whether male or female, but most likely a male, named Horus."

Damn!

Qin Chu almost trembled and spilled his coffee.

Grandmother’s!

Horus?

The one impersonating Shaye Nicholas was none other than the other Shaye residing in him.

As for Horus? That was none other than Qin Chu himself.

Confirmed.

At this point, Qin Chu was completely sure that Shaye Nicholas was here for him, despite having meticulously arranged everything. How had she managed to spot him?

No matter what, this was definitely not a good situation. What a trouble.

"Mr. Brave, do you know who Horus is?" Shaye asked.

Qin Chu smiled ruefully: "Sorry, although I am called a Hero, I actually spend most of my time training. I can’t even tell the streets in this city apart, let alone someone named Horus. I’ve never heard that name before."

"Is that so? What a pity."

The pastry had already been served, and Shaye Nicholas, like the Shaye Qin Chu knew, kept silent and started enjoying her cake intently.

As for Qin Chu, he sipped his coffee slowly, feeling the liquid in his mouth growing increasingly bitter.

It wasn’t until late at night that Shaye Nicholas patted her bulging tummy, a satisfied smile on her face:

"Mr. Qin, I really enjoyed having dinner with you."

Enjoyed?

Qin Chu jolted in alarm. What did that mean?

Could it be that this woman had already found some decisive evidence?
