Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills - Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Demon lair (17/)

Tension hung heavy in the living room as the two people watched and listened to the news being broadcast.

As the scene changed on the screen, their heartbeats increased.

Roberto collapsed to his knees, his eyes red with sadness, frustration, regret, and every other negative emotion.

His dream, the career he had struggled to build—all of it had been shattered.

Cecilia was no better off. Ever since she could think for herself, her only dream was to become an actress.

But the entertainment industry was notoriously difficult to enter, especially for someone from a modest background.

Fortunately, she had found and seduced a celebrity who promised to introduce her to the industry and had even secured her a role.

But now it was all in vain.

She had lost the role and every chance to become an actress in this lifetime.

Tears fell from her eyes as she realized the gravity of the situation.

Her gaze shifted to her boyfriend—or rather, ex—who sat on the chair with the most relaxed expression she had ever seen him wear. Something seemed amiss.

His composure, his reactions to their taunts earlier… it seemed he had expected all of it, which was why he appeared so unbothered.

But how? she wondered, as her mind gradually accepted that she had ruined her life in the worst way possible.

“You two looked so cute on the screen,” D’andre said with a teasing smile, one that immediately threw Roberto off balance.

“Y-You!” Roberto stood up from his kneeling position and stomped toward D’andre, who remained casually seated.

D’andre slowly brought the can of soda to his lips and sipped while his teasing gaze remained fixed on Roberto.

“Say such crap again, and I will beat the out of you. Try me!” Roberto barked.

“Oh… oh, our famous actor is angry now…” D’andre chuckled. He tossed the can of soda away and stood up, facing Roberto at close range. Their gazes met—one filled with rage, the other calm.

“If you fight a peaceful man like me, do you think your fangirls would still think good of you?” D’andre teased.

Roberto gritted his teeth, utterly enraged. While he knew D’andre was trying to make him overreact, he couldn’t stop himself from dancing right into the trap.

His life was already shattered. What harm would it be to beat some sense into this bastard in front of him? .

D’andre continued with his teasing, annoying Roberto even more.

Nevertheless, just when Roberto was about to lift his hands and punch him, the door was pushed open, halting his hands midair as everyone turned toward the entrance.

“He is here, everyone! I told you I saw him entering this house!” a man holding a camera above his head barked.

“Oh, Roberto is really here!”

“Everyone, come in!”

“GLTV was the first on the scene. We are going to interview Mr. Roberto first!”

“No, BaseTV was here first! Wait behind!”

“Ohh, my sweet Roberto, are the rumors true?”

Following the voice of the first cameraman, an influx of strangers poured into the room one after another.

They ranged from cameramen holding huge cameras to reporters dressed in suits and grasping big microphones, and young girls who were obviously fans of Roberto. The once tense but quiet living room had now erupted into a noisy place.

The first cameraman who stepped into the room managed to capture clear pictures of Roberto trying to punch D’andre.

In the photo that would soon trend online, Roberto’s face was twisted in anger, rendering his face ugly. In contrast, D’andre had his hands in his pockets, wearing a gentle smile.

His white hair was tied neatly in a ponytail, his face clear with handsomeness, boosted by his smile.

Even though he was in casual clothing, his composure and handsomeness immediately won the hearts of many compared to the almost naked Roberto.

“Mr. Roberto, are all the news about you online true?”

“Earlier, we saw you trying to hit a peaceful, handsome man. Were you taking your anger out on him?”

“Even with the scandals, you tried to fight a peaceful man. What a shame!”

“We heard that this house belongs to one of the young ladies you have recommended…”

“This lady looks oddly familiar… Oh, I remember now, she was one of the ladies. Quickly go interview her. I will interview Roberto.”

“No! I want to interview him.”

“My King Roberto, you replied to my comment a week ago that you would marry me. Why are there all these scandals going around? I know they are fake… Right… Please let them be fake.”

The room quickly became a beehive of activity and noise. Roberto had frozen on the spot the moment they came in.

He only managed to cover his privates with his hands. The reporters stormed him from all corners, blocking all angles of escape. Different questions were hurled at him.

None of these questions were to his advantage, and no answer could save him from the holes they created. At that moment, he wished the ground would just open and swallow him.

Cecilia was also bombarded with questions.

“Why did you seduce Mr. Roberto to get a role? Is it that you do not trust in your talent to become an actress on your own, or you do not possess any talent?”

“Is it true that he sleeps with you for free? How cheap can you be?”

“Now that your role has been canceled and your dream to become an actress has been killed, how do you feel?”

“What are you going to do with your life now?”

“You whore! You seduced our glorious king!”

“Do not ever cross my city. I’ll set you on fire for ruining my glorious king’s image.”

“WHORE!”

Her eyes had already reddened with tears. Regret blossomed in her heart.

If only she had been patient and stuck with D’andre, her boyfriend who cherished and cared for her to the best of his ability.

If only she hadn’t become selfish and cheated.

None of this would have happened. Karma hadn’t even waited until she at least landed a role before coming for her.

While cameras flickered on her face and

questions were hurled at her, she lifted her head to seek the presence of D’andre. And she was surprised, greatly.
