The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness - Chapter 233
11. As is well known, a triangle is…
The night wind was very cool.
Mu En’s heart was even cooler.
He turned his head to look at the girl on his left, with a charming tear mole at the corner of her eye, who was holding his arm, gazing at him affectionately, her brows and eyes filled with captivating tenderness.
Then he turned to look at the girl on his right, a maid with her hair elegantly tied up, who was tugging at his sleeve, her smile bright, her gaze fixed on him, filled with immense reliance and affection.
Ah, how strange.
This was clearly a scene that any man would dream of, being embraced on both sides, and the girls beside him were all world-class beauties with whom he had shared intimate moments, the distance between them practically negative…
But why, at this moment, do I feel an uncontrollable urge to burst into tears?
Why do I feel that I would rather battle the cultists than stay here?
“Hey, young master, answer us, which side do you choose?”
“That’s right, junior, just answer. No matter what your answer is, we won’t blame you.”
How nice it is that even though I’m such a mess, they won’t blame me…
Not at all!
Do you think I would believe that?
From noble mtl dot com
This is clearly just like that ultimate dilemma from my past life: if you and your mother fell into the water, who would you save first?
No, this is even more terrifying.
Because when the subject of the question becomes two people… it means double the joy, double the thrill…
Double the axe.
Sweat has already soaked Mu En’s back. He desperately wants to find a chance to slip away, but both of them are tightly gripping him, clearly not planning to let him go without an answer.
What to do, what to do?
It feels like no matter which one I choose, my fate will be utterly tragic.
At this moment, Mu En’s brain is working like never before. If it weren’t for the weakness in his body, he would even want to activate time dilation to buy himself some thinking time.
But it turns out that in the most critical moments, people can always unleash tremendous potential.
And in that flash of inspiration, he seized the opportunity!
“Hey, you over there, come here.”
Mu En suddenly waved at Jin Ze, who was hiding in the shadows, munching on popcorn.
“Me?”
Jin Ze, caught off guard, pointed at himself in surprise.
“Mu En Campbell, are you calling me?”
“Who else could it be?”
Mu En flashed a friendly smile. “Come here, I have something very important to discuss with you.”
“Something important…”
Jin Ze frowned.
He glanced at Anna beside him, then at An on the other side. Both of them casually scanned him and then nonchalantly looked away.
Then they continued to watch Mu En with great interest, waiting for him to make a choice.
Jin Ze felt a bit confused.
But given Mu En’s status and the so-called “very important matter” he mentioned, Jin Ze obediently walked over.
“Speak, what is the important matter?”
“It’s just…”
Mu En gave a strange smile, his figure suddenly flickering for a moment, then he broke free from the gentle grasp of the two beautiful girls. In the next instant, a fist the size of a sand pot rapidly enlarged in Jin Ze’s line of sight.
“I’ve tolerated you for long enough. What are you staring at, you single dog!”
“What—”
Jin Ze’s eyes widened in shock. He could never have imagined that Mu En Campbell would attack him at such a moment.
Has he gone mad?
But it was too late to realize now. Even though Jin Ze’s realm was higher than Mu En’s, he couldn’t react to this illogical, sudden strike, especially in an unguarded situation.
Thus, Jin Ze was sent flying by a single punch.
The venue fell silent in an instant.
Everyone, even An and Anna, couldn’t help but widen their beautiful eyes, staring in astonishment at Mu En.
What on earth is he thinking?
Jin Ze, like a carp leaping from the water, flipped up from the ground, rubbing the red mark on his cheek, and furiously shouted:
“Mu En Campbell, do you know what you’re doing?”
“I know.”
Mu En nodded:
“I attacked a Silent One, and a high-ranking one at that within the Silent Organization.”
“Then do you know the consequences of your actions!?”
Jin Ze was so angry his nose nearly crinkled.
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, to attack a Silent One without reason.
How long has it been since such a ridiculous event occurred? Does he really think the Silent Organization fears the son of a duke?
Most importantly, did you just call me a single dog again?
What’s wrong with being a single dog? Has a single dog eaten your rice?
Jin Ze directly pulled out a pair of specially made shackles used for imprisoning heretics, glaring fiercely:
“Mu En Campbell, your actions are a serious crime!”
“I naturally know that.”
Mu En smiled nonchalantly, his eyes filled with the unique arrogance of a duke’s son, as if he completely disregarded this wrongdoing.
But just as Jin Ze was on high alert, thinking he might do something even more outrageous, Mu En suddenly stretched out his hands, lowered his head sharply, and said:
“So, please arrest me, ah Sir!”
“…Huh?”
Jin Ze: ???
An: …
Anna: …
Jin Ze was puzzled when he suddenly felt two gazes fixated on him, gradually becoming laden with meaning.
Jin Ze’s massive frame shuddered, and he immediately realized.
Mu En Campbell, you’ve set me up!
Facing those two increasingly icy stares, Jin Ze gripped the shackles on his wrists, unable to suppress a shiver.
One of them exuded a murderous intent that felt almost tangible, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
The other, according to rumors, was very likely to be the next Swordbearer.
So now the question arose.
At this moment, should he prioritize the face of the Silent Agency, or his own life?
……
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to arrest me? As the renowned Silent One, are you really going to let me slap your agency in the face like this?” Mu En lifted his head and grinned.
Watching Jin Ze, who looked rigid and inflexible, caught in a dilemma, Mu En couldn’t help but silently commend his own brilliance as he felt those two seemingly lethal gazes shift from him to Jin Ze.
From here on, no matter how Jin Ze chose, he had room to maneuver.
If they captured him, he could slip away with ease.
If they didn’t, he could continue to entangle them, buying himself time.
Either way, he wouldn’t lose.
Most importantly, he had effortlessly shifted the conflict, extracting himself from the eye of the storm—how clever, how adaptable.
Hmph, just a mere two-person battlefield, watch me stride through it with ease…
“It’s quite lively, isn’t it?”
But just then, a cool voice suddenly rang out in the space.
Mu En’s involuntary smile froze abruptly.
He stiffly turned his head to look at the familiar silver figure not far away.
Feeling the two gazes beside him also abruptly shift from Jin Ze to that silver figure, like a predator sensing a threat of equal caliber, Mu En swallowed hard, forcing out a dry voice that sounded as if it came from a dying man:
“Se…Selicia, what are you doing here?”
