Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 43 - The

After the news regarding Yuriel surfaced, no one living in Elishien had not heard of it.

The media aggressively preached the scandal that befell Castris, no one wants to miss in reporting the hot news this time.

Several other elite families who knew Castris felt that Karl's actions were so sudden. What's more for people who know Karl well, none of them don't know what a man is. He is the one who always takes into account the steps he makes, therefore he can lead the number one family in Elishien and defend his title.

But with this news, everyone thought that Karl was not as usual. People who always act very carefully seem to let news like this just circulate. What else with this news, his name became tarnished in the face of the community. The higher-ups and the heads of the elite families in Elisien had the same thought.

Castris began to move in a direction that was difficult to guess.

***

At Castris's residence, Liyuna was visibly alarmed when she heard the news on television. When he checked his phone, all the main pages were filled with news about Yuriel. Liyuna felt worried about Yuriel's current mental state.

"Yuri, are you okay?" He asked with a worried tone that could not be hidden.

Far different from what Liyuna had imagined, Yuriel who was currently sitting next to her looked ordinary when she heard the news on television. His face did not show the slightest concern, even Yuriel still put on her innocent and harmless face.

This made Liyuna a little confused as Yuriel's reaction was not as she had expected.

Does Yuriel not understand that he is being gossiped about by people on the internet? Or is he just pretending not to know?

Liyuna really could not guess.

"I'm fine, brother, I don't think too much about it. What they say is not true."

Nope, no. It's not a matter of right or not. Even if the rumors were not true, people would not care. They would still look at Yuriel as a bad person, looking at him as someone who had ruined the happiness of others.

Will not be concerned with the truth, in cyberspace all can say as they please. No matter what people feel they are talking about, they are the ones who only dare to hide behind a keyboard. Showing their hatred with unreasonable arguments as if they were the truest.

"You're really okay?"

Yuriel nodded her head slowly, "But... I'm worried about uncle Karl."

Liyuna understood what Yuriel was feeling. He also knew that at this time Karl was being a hot topic and gossip material for the people because of this.

On the other hand, some core members of the elite family in Elishien were seen taking the news that was circulating seriously.

Yuda who was relaxing in the living room while eating popcorn saw the news that was frenzied with a relaxed face. He was completely different from the persona he always looked up to at school.

"Castris adopted a child whose origins are unclear?" He muttered while putting a lot of popcorn in his mouth.

Anyone who sees Judah today will think he is very dirty because the food he eats is scattered everywhere. Even dozens of cans of cola were also scattered on the table, some even spilled onto the sofa. It is an unhealthy lifestyle. At a young age, Yuda has enjoyed a variety of junk food and made it a daily snack.

Although it looked unpromising like that, Yuda's eyes could not lie to his true abilities. He had eyes that shone when he felt something was off. It was his intuition that made him know that there was something behind the decision of the Head of the Castris Family.

Unlike Yuda who saw the news about the Castris family very casually while eating popcorn, Zion saw the news in her room through her computer which had been on since. His computer is connected to the television channel service. He spent more time in his room and sometimes in his secret room, so he had no choice but to connect his computer with the television channel service.

After hearing the news about Castris, she seemed to be thinking hard. The first child of the Ravenray family has instincts that cannot be underestimated. He as the main heir is required to have a sharp and proper judgment. Based on what he had just heard, he could guess what was going on with Castris.

"The family could not have made the move without calculation." He muttered, he was seen picking up an iPad that was on a small table next to his mattress.

His eyes seemed to emit a light that seemed evil. When the thing he suspected ended up relating, he couldn't hold it all back. He must hold the tail of all this so as not to be left behind a single clue that he has found.

Despite the news of Castris crossing the ocean, no one cares too much about it. People living in the other hemisphere did not pay much attention to this kind of gossip news. They don't care what's going on with the conglomerate families from that country, it's none of their business either.

And Allen too. The boy did not hear any news regarding Castris, he was too busy discussing hacking with his new friend Victor.

He looks so frustrated when he sees the gadget in his hand.

"Your brother is really a strange person."

"Where's anyone not opening a cell phone for months."

Victor could not help his frustration. Although he had only learned about hacking, he was quite confident in his abilities. You could say, his brain was good enough that he could devour what he learned quickly. However, at this moment he felt annoyed and did not know how to. His struggle for months watching over brother Allen felt very futile.

Even though he was a rookie, he was sure that he had left no trace. What else if Allen's brother was just an ordinary person who didn't know about IT. He would definitely not be able to see if there was anything different from his phone.

But why didn't that person open his phone at all?!

Victor doesn't understand how rich people think. He's not the son of a conglomerate like Allen, he's just a kid who comes from an ordinary family so he doesn't understand people like Allen.

"Zion's a very cautious type of person. With that monster instinct she must have felt something strange about her phone." Said Allen.

Allen looked ordinary when he said something just now, as if he didn't care.

"Hey, boss! You asked me to do all this. If there's no result, it's the same as wasting my time."

Hearing Victor protest at him, Allen squinted his eyes and looked at Victor with a rough look. Seeing Allen's gaze like that, Victor instantly fell silent for a moment.

Sometimes Allen is like that. Sometimes he showed such a frightening look like a wild beast. At first Victor didn't care much but lately he can't be what he used to be because he has seen a very different side of Allen.

A week ago, Allen defeated a street gang containing Junior High near where they live. He saw clearly what Allen was doing when he hit his opponents. Even the hands and the white shirt he was wearing were covered in blood.

Victor who had never seen such an event so was speechless. He thought the incident would cause trouble, but he didn't. The Allen family silenced the mouths of all who knew about it and buried them all into the ground.

It was then that Victor understood how influential the Allen family was. Victor believes that if he follows Allen there will be many adventures that he never felt. She loves challenging things, so one day she wants to be by Allen's side to help her and experience new adventures.

The feud between conglomerate families must be a lot of fun, right?

"How about I hack his laptop?"

"Don't be stupid, he'll know right away. That guy can't get off his laptop."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Of course not. If he knew I was doing this, he'd have strangled my neck."

"That's a terrible thing."

"Stay monitor the phone, if there is no information anything is fine. Think of it as an exercise for you."

Victor smiled at Allen. Despite his wild nature and difficult to control, Allen was actually a person who cared deeply about his surroundings. Even though he always said Victor was noisy and annoying, he still cared about him. The proof, Allen always helped Victor by giving a lot of reading books about hacking and electronic tools needed. He gave it all away with his own pocket money. Allen never spent his pocket money on himself, he always gave it to others and Victor was one of them.

"Ready, boss!"
