Chapter 393: Chapter 329: Endless Nonsense (Third Update)

The maid was taken aback, and Igula’s expression also became quite colorful.

“What do you mean?” the maid swallowed: “You and the Clan Leader…”

“Shh.” Ash’s face was expressionless: “Actually, it’s not as intimate as you think. For Qinna, I’m just a bed warmer. Her attitude towards me is to summon me when called and dismiss me when done… Do you know why I also have to wear a black robe right now? That’s because, although I’ve left Senheiser, unlike my colleague here, my appearance has not changed. Once you people see me, you’ll recognize me immediately—after all, I used to appear frequently near Qinna.”

“Originally, this undercover task was just for me alone, but Qinna ultimately didn’t trust me and also sent her best friend, disguised as a man, to monitor me.”

“Do you know what reward Qinna promised me for this important task? — The privilege to walk by her side openly! She really thinks that my fawning in bed is all genuine, that up until now, I’ve been wholeheartedly wanting to become her official partner… Hmph!”

Ash sneered: “I’m not doing this for her at all, but for Senheiser. That’s why I accepted this task, why I have to endure her daughter’s vile and detestable oppression. Neither mother nor daughter is any good!”

In just a few words, Ash had crafted an image of himself as an escort who bears humiliation for a greater cause, his tone filled with resentment from being harassed and oppressed by a superior. Although the emotions seemed very real, Igula was beating the drum in his heart—speaking disrespectfully of the Clan Leader was certainly a risky move. He had not yet ascertained Senheiser people’s general attitude towards the Clan Leader; if they all sincerely respected her, then Ash was practically blowing his own cover.

“The Clan Leader isn’t that bad, she’s just a bit forceful…” the maid meekly retorted.

Success!
