My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 1 Complete ]

Chapter 38 Scam

Sometimes, if people are too dumbfounded, their reaction wouldn't be as expressive.

Looking at Gideon's unchanged poker face, it seems that it's true.

"..."

No, is this really dumbfounded?

Say something, anything.

"..."

But the silence continues.

He just gazed at me with an emotionless expression. Then, he snapped his finger.

In empty space.

"...?"

What is he doing?

I have no idea what he's doing, so I just stayed still.

"Learn the sword from you?"

Finally, after a long time, these words broke the silence.

"Master asked for it."

"Yes."

"..."

Gideon fell silent again.

As if trying to measure something, he continued to gaze at me with slightly narrowed eyes.

"...You don't seem capable of that."

Again, it's only after a long silence, did words come out of his mouth.

And well, his words is only natural and for him to think that-

"You, are already dead."

Having said that, Gideon flicked his fingers.

And at the same time.

-!

The space right in front of me was 'cut'.

It's as if someone put it in the void of nothingness in advance.

'...Intangible Sword?'

A skill that allows for a fatal strike even without a sword. A state where killing an opponent is just a matter of snapping one's fingers.

Although it is not at the level of the First Archduke Tristan, who can slice through entire spaces, it is still a crazy skill that can penetrate through most armor when used with a sword. There are records of it even piercing through dragon scales.

'...Is he insane?'

No, isn't this near the final tier of knight skills?

This made me truly realize that the title of the Empire's Strongest Knight couldn't just be obtained by playing cards.

Considering the unknown whereabouts of the current Sword Saint, there is practically no one else in the Empire who can use this skill, and reaching such a level of mastery.

Meanwhile, here I am conning such an existence.

"You have to be better than me to teach me. But you couldn't even react."

Gideon continued, still expressionless.

"If you're going to make a ridiculous proposal, why don't you make it a little more believable?"

"I simply thought there was no need to react to something unfinished."

But.

'...Got you.'

I inwardly smiled.

If I did react even a little bit, it would simply expose my weaknesses.

But because I didn't show any reaction, I still have an opening I can exploit.
