Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 390 " What ? You're telling me you won't be going ? " Renault asked , unbothered . He gestured to his towering bodyguard . Without warning , the man lunged forward , seized my wrist , and wrenched it downward . A sharp hiss escaped my lips as pain shot up my arm . My hand trembled - it looked like it could snap any second . Renault ! " Julia gasped and rushed forward . " Stop it ! Let him go , Renault gave a small motion with his hand , and the bodyguard stepped back . Then Renault closed the distance between us with a smug grin . " I was there last night too , you know ?

Wanna guess why I didn't go upstairs to check on you two ? " He tilted his head , and his voice dropped to a mock - confidential tone . " Because I don't fight battles unprepared . And now ... " He flexed his fingers and began ticking off points . " You once saved Baron Goldman's life . You've got a sharp mind for business , enough to make Baron Inc. one of your trump cards . " You're close to the so - called Goddess of now . Medicine , Metis Fay . But word is , she's not even in Astergrad right " As for your parents in Beauclab , or Jackie Cruz and Sam Bankman ... They're nobodies .

I couldn't care less. " He smiled , clapped my shoulder , and said evenly , " I'm telling you all this for one reason . You can't fight me . You don't have the power , the influence , or the money . " That stunt with Terry ? That was him being a fool . He handed himself to you and let you take him hostage . Thinking isn't exactly his strength . " But me ? I'm not like him . You will show up tonight . You don't have a choice . " With that , he turned and walked off with his bodyguard . As he brushed past me , my whole body stiffened . Renault and Terry were two very different kinds of beasts .

Terry was reckless . Renault only acted fearless because he knew he already held every advantage and that I had no chance of winning against him . Julia hurried to my side as soon as they were gone . She checked my wrist and winked at the swelling . " This is all my fault , mister . I dragged you into this . Are you alright ? " Let's get you to a hospital . And we can't go tonight ! If it gets bad , I'll pack up and head back to Beauclab . I doubt that bastard would dare cause trouble on my brother's turf ! " I shook my head . " My hand's fine . What matters is that running won't help .

If Renault's half as powerful as he claims , then he's already prepared for every scenario , including you trying to flee . We can't risk it . " " But what else can we do ? " Julia's voice rose , trembling . " Are we really walking into his villa like lambs to the slaughter ? " I gave her back a reassuring pat . " It'll be fine , alright ? I promised yother I'd look after you and I intend to 1/2 +25 Bonus keep that promise . You just focus on your studies like a normal student . " I'll figure out something for tonight . Renault's just another spoiled brat who thinks money makes him .

invincible . I've seen plenty like him . I'm not afraid . " Julia's eyes reddened , and she cried , " You're taking all the risk ... for me ! Oh , mister ! You're the only man besides my brother who's ever cared so much for me ! I must become your wife in return ! " I froze . ' Wait . Hold up . This is not where this scenario was supposed to go !
