Chapter 548: Chapter 389: Nadia, you don’t want me to kill Qin Chu, do you? (3)

"Nadia, I’ve finally found you."

A hoarse voice combined with Carlos’s twisted visage and those eyes flickering with golden flames only sent shivers down Nadia’s spine.

Chills covered her body.

Nadia recognized Carlos’s identity, but she could never have imagined he would turn into this. What on earth had happened to him?

And what was going on with his eyes?

As for Carlos, Nadia felt nothing for him.

In her eyes, Carlos was no different from anyone else—she merely recognized him and knew his identity, and that was it.

Nadia also sharply sensed something off with Carlos’s spirit. He seemed almost insane. She subtly stepped back, secretly gathering her magic power.

Their strengths had been nearly equal before, but now it was clear Carlos had surpassed her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have failed to notice him approaching.

Huffing, huffing!

Carlos breathed heavily, his excitement palpable upon finding Nadia. The golden flames in his eyes flickered even faster.

His fingers even trembled slightly as he fought the urge to rush over and hold Nadia in his arms.

"Carlos, what do you want to do?" Nadia asked in a low voice while discreetly scanning her surroundings.

"I’m here to take you away..."

Carlos responded naturally, without any hesitation.

Excited, his eyelids lifted, revealing the deeper void behind the golden flames.

His tone became more urgent, "I can no longer stay in the Imperial City. Come with me, and we’ll wander the ends of the earth. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you and won’t let you suffer any grievances."

"Nadia, I love you. You must be able to feel that, right?"

His voice had become almost neurotic.

The corruption intensified.

Especially when his emotions flared, the spread of the corruption accelerated much faster than usual.

Nadia’s eyelids drooped slightly. She wasn’t insane; why would she roam the world with him when she was living perfectly well at Wise Mountain? Was this man mad?

"I am honored that you like me, but I’m sorry, Carlos..."

"I love Qin Chu."

"I don’t feel anything for others."

Qin Chu?

Qin Chu?

Qin Chu?

That damned bastard again. Why bring up his name in front of him? What was so good about that despicable man that so many girls liked him? Why, why, why?

The name seemed to strike a sensitive nerve in Carlos, instantly making him irritable. His expressions grew increasingly ferocious and twisted.

However, Carlos seemed to still retain some sanity; he didn’t want to make any crude gesture that would repulse Nadia.

He suppressed the rage and murderous intent in his chest and spoke with a chilling gentleness, "Nadia, you’ve been deceived by Qin Chu..."

"Really, he is not a good person."

"He’s only masquerading as a gentleman. In reality, he’s more terrifying than a demon."

"Didn’t you see? There are so many girls around him; he’s a very fickle man, he doesn’t deserve you. Come with me, listen to me."

"I promise, I will always cherish and love you..."

"I will treat you better than Qin Chu."

The neurotic demeanor, clearly that of a madman.

Muttering neurotically, he kept moving closer to Nadia.

That demeanor only instinctively frightened Nadia, making her subconsciously step back.

Carlos couldn’t see but could clearly feel Nadia’s small step back, which seemed to cause him major upset.

His body began to tremble violently, "You are stepping back? Why, why are you moving away?"

This upset gradually turned into anger, and he roared like a wild beast, "I have already pleaded with you like this, why won’t you agree? Why won’t you agree?"

This irritable emotion seemed to become more uncontrollable, and Carlos, like a madman, charged at Nadia.

"Wind."

A whirlwind erupted underfoot, swiftly carrying Nadia’s body far around, a magic wand now appearing in the palm of her hand, her gaze fixed on Carlos, who had leapt at nothing, "Carlos, you’ve gone mad."

"No, I haven’t gone mad, I haven’t gone mad."

"I just like you."

"I’ve already said, the person I like is only Qin Chu, and in this lifetime, I likely won’t love anyone else." Nadia spoke calmly, her magic already gathering in her magic wand.

But at that moment, Nadia was surprised to find that Carlos had disappeared from in front of her.

Meanwhile, a strange warmth came from behind her.

Still that gentle, neurotic voice laden with sickness gradually reached her ears from behind, "Not love anyone else? That’s okay, Nadia, as long as we live together, you will eventually love me."

Hiss!

When had he gotten behind her?

Nadia’s pupils sharply constricted.

"Earth Flame Burst!"

Accompanied by her icy voice, suddenly a flame erupted on the ground behind her, instantly forming a huge fireball that engulfed Carlos.

But the blazing flame didn’t bring any harm to Carlos.

His face, buried in flames, twisted as if rippling on water, and even the originally crimson flames had somehow gradually turned a sinister purple-green hue.

The twisted face then wore a more and more intense smile, "Nadia, why so violent? Such behavior doesn’t suit a lady."

"Submit to me,"

"I am far more powerful than you could imagine,"

"Even Qin Chu is mere trash in my presence—I could easily snap his neck..."

"Nadia, agree to it,"

"You wouldn’t want Qin Chu to die in front of you, right?"

Where exactly did Carlos learn that move?

Unfortunately, Carlos was unaware that almost everyone who had used that tactic had met with a grim fate, apart from Qin Chu.

Nadia’s expression remained cold; she was shocked by Carlos’s weird abilities, but her will remained unshaken.

Without saying a word, she spread her arms, and densely packed ice blades fell like rain from the sky, blossoming on the ground.

In an instant, Carlos’s body was pierced through, riddled with holes; even the fiercely burning flames seemed to be extinguished a bit.

However, Nadia’s face showed not a hint of joy but grew even darker.

The ice blades seemed to have penetrated Carlos’s body, but they had not inflicted any damage; there was no blood flowing, and his face, odd as ever, didn’t show any sign of pain—he was even smiling at her.

The next second, the purple-green flames with a whoosh gradually dissipated.

Suddenly, Nadia felt a pressure on her throat as a hand, sharp as talons, clutched her neck directly.

He gripped so tightly that Nadia felt like her neck was about to be crushed. The Magic Shield she had conjured seemed completely ineffective, directly pierced by Carlos’s claws.

"Nadia, you actually attacked me; I’m heartbroken..." the creepy voice still echoed.

Nadia had the sensation of a caterpillar crawling at the back of her neck.

Her body instinctively struggled, mobilizing the Magic Power within, but Nadia was surprised to find her Magic Power seemed to be locked by some mysterious force, barely able to mobilize it.

Sensing Nadia’s unbreakable will—whether it be the death of Qin Chu or her own demise would never change his plans—Carlos’s golden eyes gradually dimmed behind her.

"Won’t you agree, hehe, never mind, I don’t care. Even if you’ll never love me, it’s okay. I will make a delicate and beautiful specimen out of you so you can always be with me, how nice."

Carlos’s grip on her neck grew stronger.

Nadia could even hear her neck starting to creak, at any moment it might be completely crushed by Carlos.

Hum!

Just then, a Light Saber swiftly soared from the horizon, spiraling towards Carlos’s side.

It was incredibly fast.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.

In an instant, it had reached Carlos’s side.

Even though Carlos’s strength had increased a lot, he couldn’t dodge it at that moment.

Only a slicing sound was heard as the blade tore directly through Carlos’s waist, carrying away a large chunk of flesh, and possibly a kidney.

This was the first time Carlos had been injured, and he couldn’t help but let out a mournful cry.

So that move isn’t something just anyone can use.

His grip instinctively loosened slightly, and Nadia seized this moment, quickly wriggling out from Carlos’s grasp. With no hesitation, she swiftly increased the distance between them, enveloped by the raging wind.

Cuts had already appeared on her slender neck, trickling down her neck, along her collarbone, streaming across her chest, making the pale area even more striking.

Carlos’s throat continued to emit roars like a wild beast, his golden eyes fixated towards the side of Nadia, "Qin Chu..."

He sensed Qin Chu had arrived.

Not just Qin Chu—he even felt another familiar presence.

"Miss Shaye?"

He let out a mournful noise.

Why would Miss Shaye appear alongside Qin Chu?

Could it be that something had happened between them?

Is Miss Shaye no longer pure?

When did it start? Was it that night, after he couldn’t stand being apart, when the two had cake and milk tea, then went to a hotel and exerted their excess energy?

Did they battle all the way until dawn?

After that, so much time had passed; were they always at the hotel, the palace, in bedrooms, in bathrooms, on balconies, in kitchens, lingering and wandering, trying this and that, doing everything possible?

Could it be that even Nadia was no longer pure?

With Qin Chu’s vile character, he definitely wouldn’t let go of such a petite, cute, and beautiful girl like Nadia.

The thought of his beloved girls, both having been involved with Qin Chu, made Carlos feel as if his heart was being crushed.

No...

Carlos’s body suddenly knelt on the ground, his head raised to the sky, emitting the sharpest, most despairing wail.
