The Arrogant Heroine Was Too Overbearing, So I Immediately Switched Sides to Become the Traitor-Chapter 40 - [One]

“Alright, we’ve arrived~”

Sylvie parked the sports car directly on the side of the road.

Evan got out first. Under the scorching sun, he saw the empty asphalt road, the armored vehicle parked synchronously at the distant street corner, and the knights, already holding their guns and watching the surroundings vigilantly. There were also the houses and yards all around, looking crooked and dilapidated, covered in graffiti, stains, and piles of unknown debris.

“The Outer Street lacks a certain vitality during the day because the gang members are mainly active at night. They’re all sleeping soundly right now. I came here once, the experience wasn’t great.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Sylvie got out of the car. As usual, she began her long-winded speech.

“You’ll see flames burning everywhere. It’s hard to tell if someone’s house caught fire, or if it’s a bonfire lit by those young kids, or both.”

“The street is filled with ear-splitting, unpleasant motorcycle noises, and shouting. But those motorcycles are mostly pieced together from various second-hand scraps.”

“While driving, it’s common for them to suddenly fall apart. Then there’s a large puddle of red and white mixed with rusty metal fragments scattered on the road.”

“There are guys following you everywhere, asking for money. After all, we’re new faces, so we have to show them force... Anyway, after coming here once at night, I decided it’s better to come during the day. It’s much less troublesome during the day.”

The girl muttered. Evan just nodded. Because this place, the Outer Street, wasn’t the Castle District or the Urban District. It was basically a lawless zone.

Theoretically, the Empire’s direct knightly orders had jurisdiction and management rights over the Outer Street, but those knights usually didn’t come here. Over time, this place naturally became a carnival ground for gang members.

Or perhaps. The Empire intended it this way. Businesses operating in the gray area were always extremely profitable. And for the major nobles who controlled the Empire. Gray gold dragons and ordinary gold dragons. They were all the same gold dragons. There was no saying who was more noble than whom.

Sylvie very naturally took Evan’s hand and walked towards an open-air restaurant—or rather, a food stall—on the side of the street.

“This is it. Every time I come here, it’s to eat their ribs!”

“Uh...”

Evan had absolutely not expected Sylvie to drive him all the way from the academy to the distant Outer Street, just to eat a meal.

Hmm. Although Sylvie’s infatuated gaze towards him always felt dangerous. But it seemed he had misjudged her.

“You didn’t think I was the type to eat sneakily behind my best friend’s back, did you!!!”

The girl suddenly guessed Evan’s thoughts.

“Hmph! How mean!!”

She pretended to put on a small angry expression. However, Sylvie didn’t seem skilled at acting coquettishly with people. After a moment, before he could even coax her. She immediately beamed with joy, pulled his hand, and sat down at a simple dining table covered with a layer of plastic cloth.

At the same time, she ordered. “The usual!”

“Okay, ma’am.”

Clearly, Sylvie was a regular customer here. Evan saw the owner, who had been idle in the afternoon, take a large slab of ribs from the refrigerated truck also parked on the side of the road. After defrosting it, he brushed it with a thick layer of sauce and threw it directly onto the grill. The sizzling sound of oil instantly stimulated the eardrums.

Evan realized more clearly that this was just an open-air roadside barbecue stall. He really hadn’t expected a noble young lady like Sylvie to eat this kind of food.

“Because the portions are large!”

The girl habitually pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose. At this moment, the golden sunlight sprinkled on her mesmerizing wine-red long hair. Accompanied by her trembling reddish eyes, there was a heart-wrenching sense of fleetingness.

“Every time I feel hungry, I come here to eat. I can eat as much as I want until I’m completely full. Unlike those restaurants in the Castle District, where the plate is so big, but they only give you a piece of meat the size of a fingernail.”

“I can never get full!!!”

“Although, I still want to drink blood, at least the feeling of fullness can slightly alleviate the craving for blood. Hmm, it’s like looking for some kind of substitute...”

“People, they are all experts at deceiving themselves.”

Sylvie seemed to be able to derive philosophy from everything she said.

Soon. The grilled pork ribs were served. Besides that, there were also chicken legs, lamb legs, pork trotters, and some offal, such as chicken intestines and lamb liver. All these things tasted the same because the cooking process was basically the same: brush with sauce and then grill.

The taste was not bad, quite delicious actually. And. The portions were indeed very large. Evan looked at the mountain of various grilled meats in front of him, feeling that even if eight of him were present, they probably couldn’t finish it all.

“Mmm... Let’s eat. After we’re full tonight, we’ll go to Bebe’s place, and then...”

While stuffing meat into her mouth, she arranged the schedule and plan for the day.

After listening to Sylvie’s words. Evan thought, as expected, he couldn’t escape tonight. He would definitely be “eaten completely” by the two beautiful girls.

Sigh. He didn’t know whether to call it happiness or unhappiness.

“Perfect timing, we can talk about that matter now, so we don’t waste time tonight. After all, the night is long, but it always seems short.”

“After all, the longer the night, the shorter the night~”

Sylvie started talking strangely. Evan’s mind hadn’t quite caught up for a moment, wondering what else Sylvie wanted to tell him?

“It’s about the ancient evil gods you and Bebe asked me to inquire about before.”

“Oh, Miss Sylvie has figured it all out?”

“Of course!”

The girl used a fork to put a piece of oily meat into her mouth. After chewing two or three times, she swallowed it directly. Then she drank a large glass of iced coke, burped without caring about her image, and only then continued.

“Regarding what the ancient evil gods are, I’ve already asked my seniors, juniors, and other upperclassmen and underclassmen!”

“There are seven ancient evil gods in total. Last time we talked about [The Old Emperor] and [The Wind that Blows Through This World].”

“The remaining five are [The Worm], [The Apex], [The Omniscient and Omnipotent], and...”

The first three the girl mentioned. Evan already knew about them. But in order not to reveal himself, he still slowly listened to Sylvie finish talking about them, until the end.

“The last two, one is named [The Primordial].”

“This one has the least information because the topic was originally with a senior brother. But two days after the research began, that old man Cliber took back all the research materials.”

Sylvie puffed out her cheeks, looking very dissatisfied with her boss.

“He said that the research on [The Primordial] would be done by himself. So, the information the senior brother could tell me about this evil god was very, very little.”

“The only thing known is that [The Primordial] is the first deity, and among all the evil gods, the only one recorded with many titles. For example, in the distant mysterious great country of the East.”

“[The Primordial] is called [One].”
