Chapter 433 - Bella actually did that! (Patreon)

Everyone was shocked, but Bella stood out the most. She was staring at me as if I were crazy. I gave her a smile and then said, “I can explain. Please, Milan.”

As soon as she heard my words, Milan knelt right there, lowering her head. She placed her forehead on the floor just as she had done with me. “I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for what I did,” she said.

She began apologizing repeatedly, begging Bella for forgiveness.

Hestia then approached me and said, “Hey, have you gone crazy? You brought the girl who almost killed Bella here just to apologize? And what do you mean by ‘She'll be working here from now on’? Have you lost your mind?”

Hearing Hestia's words, I said, “Like I said before, I'll explain. So, Bella, what do you say?”

“How do you expect me to forgive this girl? I'd never seen her before, and she attacked me. She said horrible things to me. I thought I was going to die!”

“I promise you, I would never have done anything to you. I would never kill someone like you, who has never done anything wrong to anyone!” Milan shouted. “I did it for the money, and I deeply regret it.”

“But she didn't do it just for the money,” I said. “Milan was deceived and ended up joining the Ikelos Familia. She thought they were a respectable Familia, but…”

“You said Ikelos Familia?” Hestia was extremely surprised. “This girl is part of the Ikelos Familia? And you brought her into our home?”

“Like I said, she was deceived. She's not lying. You can question her yourself. She really is sorry.”

“Luan, don't tell me you're interested in this girl…” Lili said. “Isn't she a little young? Besides, she has small breasts.”

“Don't say unnecessary things, Lili.” I looked at Milan, whose face had turned red. “Don't get any strange ideas, Milan. I'm not interested in your body. I just thought it would be a good idea to hire you.”

“You really are unpredictable,” Hestia said with a sigh. “Does Ikelos know she's here?”

“No, he doesn't. I brought her here to apologize to Bella and explain the situation. I intend to go to the Ikelos Familia's home and have her Falna removed.”

“You really are crazy…” Hestia said. “Do you think it'll be that easy?”

“I'm sure it'll be very easy.” I smiled confidently at Hestia.

Then I turned around and looked at Bella. She was staring at us, and she seemed a little calmer. Bella sighed and then walked toward Milan. She crouched down and looked into Milan's eyes.

“I was really scared, you know?”

Milan heard those words and lowered her head. “I'm sorry again for everything I did.”

“Look at this.” Bella then showed her neck, which had several marks on it. There was also a cut on her hand and another on her head. They weren't serious injuries, though. I hadn't noticed them before.

I looked at Milan, showing my anger, and she lowered her head again, placing her forehead against the floor.

“I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!” she repeated several times.

Huff~~

A sigh escaped Bella's lips.

“Where are the others? You weren't alone, were you?”

“I dealt with them,” I answered Bella's question. “I didn't kill them, but I'm sure they'll think twice before messing with me again.”

Milan heard my words and seemed relieved.

Even though they were bad people, she probably considered them her friends.

“I see. If this girl really regrets what she did, I don't see any reason not to forgive her. Please, raise your head.”

Milan then raised her head. As soon as she looked into Bella's eyes…

SLAP!

Bella slapped Milan hard across the face.

“Wow!”

“She actually did it!”

“Hahaha!”

Everyone was surprised, including me.

Milan held her cheek and then gave a faint smile.

“You're forgiven,” Bella said with a satisfied smile.

‘Scary woman.’ I thought.

After the two talked for a little while longer, it seemed that Bella had truly forgiven Milan for what had happened. However, the other girls were still suspicious, especially Lili.

But she wasn't suspicious of Milan. She was suspicious of me.

She thinks I brought Milan here because I'm interested in her and want to add her to my “harem.” Even though I've denied it several times, she still thinks the same thing.

After a while, I gave up trying to change her mind.

I approached Milan, who was sitting alone in the corner of the room, and asked, “Do you want to go to the Ikelos Familia's home now? We can solve this problem right away.”

“I already said we should leave it for another day. Don't worry, I have somewhere to stay. I won't stay here.”

“Don't worry. This house has plenty of rooms. You can sleep here.”

Hestia, who had heard my words, approached me and dragged me away. “Hey, are you sure that's a good idea?”

“You already questioned her, and you know she's not dangerous.”

“Even so, I can't trust her.”

Well, I could understand that. Just look at what she had done to Bella.

“Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on her.”

“Fine, but it'd be better to get rid of her if she does anything strange.”

“What do you mean by ‘get rid of her?’” I asked with a smile.

“You know exactly what I mean.”

“Right, right. Now I'd better take Bella home. Her mother must be worried.”

“Do it. And don't forget to explain everything that happened to her mother. Don't hide anything.”

“Don't worry. I won't.”

Then I approached Bella and talked to her. Afterward, Bella said goodbye to everyone, including Milan, and I prepared to teleport us away.

Before we disappeared, I said, “Try to get along with Milan.”

Everyone nodded.
