Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 106 - The Result Of A Choice

Time goes by very fast. The sun now hides its light and darkness begins to envelop the sky.

Work time was over, all office workers began to come out to go home and rest. No one is exempt.

Zion is seen preparing to go home, she tidied up some final documents and put in some important documents to work on at home.

"We'll end the job today, you go home."

The words just now were directed at Jay who seemed to be still busy with the files that Zion had taken care of.

Jay looked at Zion and then suddenly his face changed like a different side of a coin. He smiled witfully when he realized that the working hours were over.

That's what Jay's real nature is. He is a man who is free and does not like to be tied up, only in the office he is serious because he has to adjust the place.

"You too, rest."

"Gum."

Arriving at home, Zion took a shower. He put the bags and files he brought into the office at the desk where he worked.

After that he changed his clothes in sleeping pajamas so that he could go straight to sleep when all his work was done.

Ever since he started working in the office, there was not a single day he could fall asleep soundly. On his desk there was always a pile of files that could not be ignored. Even so, he did not complain because since childhood he had been trained to complete tasks quickly.

His position as heir could be said to be absolute. If nothing could put his position at risk, it was almost impossible for him to step down from his current position. He was the only candidate if he didn't see Allen.

Actually, it is not impossible for Allen to be the heir but if it is done, it will certainly cause an uproar. After all, in today's social class, origins are important. Allen as a son born by mistake would definitely become a laughingstock.

That's why Ravenray currently relies heavily on Zion. This big family is now in quite a danger. After his mother's departure, his father looked like a different person. Maybe he's visa fooling others but not Zion.

As someone who can read someone's emotions, Zion knows that her father is currently stuck in the past as if the time stopped when her mother died.

If things like this continue then Ravenray will fall in distress. Especially if you look at the relationship and Allen who are not good, then this family can be scattered and destroyed.

Zion doesn't want that. He wanted his family to survive all this and survive to the end. At least let the family live quietly.

That's why he's trying to get to this point. If he made a wrong choice then he was enough to re-elect.

Zion recalled the first time she met Allen. At that time, the 4-year-old boy looked very holy. The boy looked at him with eyes full of light. Yeah, right, with those two ash eyes. Zion knew very well the meaning of the gaze. It was a look that craved something.

For Allen, who was four years old at the time, Zion was the older brother he never had.

Unfortunately, he was not very mature at the time either. He was still a fourteen-year-old who did not know what to do when confronted by something foreign. All the lessons he learned from his father seemed to mean nothing in front of the pair of foreign eyes that filled the light. 

Zion stared out the window, watching the snow falling over the earth.

"Dad, it looks like you're starting to fall too deep."

Zion bit her lower lip so hard that it bled.

When he learns that his father began an investigation into his mother's death, Zion learns that something bad is bound to happen. No matter how hard he forbids, his father still he wants to hear.

"I warned you to stop." Zion's eyes began to darken.

He does not disagree with his father's decision to arrest the perpetrators of his mother's murder but Zion knows more than anyone that they are very dangerous. Because she was his mother who ended tragically, if only he could hide the entire results of the investigation he did well, his mother would definitely not end up like that.

"Liyuna Aria Castris and Yuriel Castris."

I don't know why his intuition said the two people had anything to do with everything that happened.

When Zion first saw Yuriel, she knew that the girl was hiding something. He wears a mask to hide his real face, trying to deceive the world.

But Zion will not be fooled. With just a single look, he knew that the girl was hiding a knife behind her body.

And Liyuna...

He did not have a strong first impression of her. In her eyes she only looked like a princess who was protected within the palace. However his judgment changed since four years ago when he boldly approached her and gave her a cup of warm tea.

No matter what the relationship between the two, Zion felt that the girl named Yuriel was very obsessed with Liyuna. But the obsession is not a kind of obsession with possession but rather a fear of loss. Hazel's eyes were always staring at Liyuna like an object that would just disappear.

"It seems I have to get closer to Miss Liyuna to understand everything."

The slack wind blew gently, bringing the cold winter air piercing to the bone.

The streets of Elisien did not touch the place. A place located on the outskirts of the city, in an old apartment building that is very quiet.

With a cup of warm coffee that is only the rest of the waste, it looks like Yuda is wearing his special police uniform. The uniform is wrapped in a thick jacket, as if to hide his identity.

Yuda walks to the table, picks up his smartphone and the revolver that has been with him since graduation day.

An hour ago he got a notification from the top police officers to come to the headquarters. He did not know what they wanted to talk to him about because as a secret agent, they should not call him often because it was very risky for his work.

However since the code sent to him signified an emergency code then he could not just ignore it. For four years he lived in solitude, trying to keep his eyes on Cerberus's movements while trying to get close to them and he almost succeeded.

Ever since she was asked to deal with Madam Ravenray's murder case, the work she did was already not to be taken lightly. Every day he had to risk his life, he had to be ready if he was caught and tortured.

Some time ago, a secret agent who was also allowed to move individually through special orders was caught by the Cerberus members and never returned until now.

Looking at previous cases, it is certain that the agent has been killed and removed.

He failed in the mission, even his family would not be able to see his body for the last time.

It would also be the end for Judah if he failed in carrying out the mission this time around. That's the danger Cerberus. If he made the slightest misstep, his life would instantly drift. Yet Judah was not afraid. He had made up his mind after seeing the truth.

If Cerberus had not been destroyed, then all would have ended in the same end and Judah did not want that.

This time he would protect the person that was precious to him.

Though every clue I love is quite subtitled (not obvious). But he can conclude precisely. I feel really cool because there is a reader who understands the instructions there🤗]
