Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Chapter 168 - 168:Ranking Up [4]

Staying in my seat with Zach slumped on my shoulder, I watched as Kevin staggered to get up, staring daggers at Liam's back.

This carriage... is going be destroyed.

Well, that's actually an... understatement.

I wouldn't be surprised if this entire area was decimated to pieces as a result of the fight was about to take place.

Liam, ignoring Kevin's gaze and approaching figure, continued staring directly at Lily before once again asking.

"Did you know that there was even a slight possibility that this would happen?"

Watching her frantically

However, no one even noticed me as everyone's gazes were locked on Kevin, Liam, and Lily.

Ruby and Irene were simply huddled up in a corner with their wands ready to attack, while Alya wore a dreaded expression while staring ahead.

Ruby and Irene could be considered outsiders, so they had no obligation to help resolve this issue... not that they could even if they tried.

As Kevin was about to attack Liam's defenseless back, I spoke in a loud and emotionless tone, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"She didn't know. It was my plan from the start."

Dropping his sword mid-swing, Kevin stared at me while Liam slowly turned around to face me, his eyes burning with anger.

Lily didn't budge as her gaze remained locked on the ground while she desperately tried to think of something, and the other three girls simply stared at me as well.

Still standing beside Lily, Liam's hand began to shine a bright blue as he stared at me.

Raising his fight into the air, Liam's eyes flickered a bright red for a moment before he replied.

"Repeat that."

Leaning against the carriage wall, I shrugged my shoulders and cockily replied.

"You heard me. I did it; your friend over there had no idea."

Seeing the anger begin to light aflame in Liam's eyes, I chuckled and continued.

"It was actually quite funny, you know. She had no idea that one of her precious friends was going to hurt while following my orders like an obedient puppy."

"She really thought her friends were going be saved without even realizing that she was going to be the reason one of them almost died."

"Desperation really does a number on the human brain, doesn't it?"

"..."

"..."

As my final words escaped my mouth, everyone in the carriage remained still, their gaze locked on me.

Everyone seemed starstruck as their mouths were wide open; even Lily and ALya seemed shocked.

Yet, one person remained still with their mouth closed, silently staring at me.

The entire carriage remained silent for a moment; not a single soul dared speak.

Only a soft chuckle that escaped from my mouth eventually broke the silence.

Raising my chin up high, I matched Liam's gaze, looking directly into his eyes with a smile.

"I mean, even now, she doesn't know. The smartest student in the school? *HAH* I've seen beggars smarter than her."

...oh yeah, I hadn't replied to Raven's messages in over a week, had I?

Before anyone could react further, Liam charged toward me, his fist covered in a light-blue divinity and already swinging toward me.

Standing directly still, I simply used the dash I had prepared earlier, appearing ten meters to the right.

Stopping his strike mid-slash, Liam continued his relentless attack, charging right at my new location.

This match-up really was the best for me.

I knew Liam's every single attack, ability, behavioral pattern, personality, and trait.

After all he was the protagonist of a book I had read for over a year...I knew everything about him.

Causing the carriage to shake further, Liam jumped into the air, closing the distance between us.

Recognizing his "Sky Plunge," or the second movement of his art, I smiled and raised my hand to my eye, instantly slowing my perception of time.
