BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49 49. Veronica Beaumont
Seeing that Xander was already displeased, one of the many lackeys around him jumped out ready to use status his status to scare and humble Lucius.
Xander wouldn\'t do such a thing, it was against academy policy, but if one of his Lackeys could vent the frustration for him, then he would be satisfied.
Even if there was blame, Xander could play ignorant and deny it all and come out unscathed
"Humph! Aren\'t you just a mere commoner?
"And who are you?" Asked for Lucius
"I\'m from the regular class B-11…"
Before he could even finish, Lucius\'s bored, cold voice cut him off
"Regular class? Not worth my time."
His cold, disregarding voice carried a sense of humiliation that a simple insult couldn\'t match.
"You! How dare you!"
But Lucius had already turned a blind eye to this guy and looked around more before he locked onto another person.
In fact, if it wasn\'t the fact that Xander was in front of him and walking towards him, his attention would have been on this person the entire time
Dazzling purple hair and purple eyes. She was rather short but had a beautiful face that anyone could get lost in. Unfortunately, that face had a haughty and arrogant expression on it.

Looking at the panel Lucius was impressed. As one of the first love interests to be charmed by the protagonist, her stats were still top class amongst her peers and she had a few golden grade talents that came along with that.
Before he could look at the talents too long, Lucius heard a sound in his ear.
"Humph! What are you staring at?"
This was definitely an arrogant heroine. At least for now she was.
Her status was not too dissimilar from Xander\'s. She was also a golden grade talent, it\'s just that unlike Xander, her family wasn\'t so noble.
Before she came along, the family was just a mere baron family and even amongst barons they were only in the lowest classes of baronial families and their conditions weren\'t anything too spectacular.
As Lucius was thinking this he heard another notification go off
[Ding! Conditions met New mission detected!]
[Charm and win the favour of Heroine, Veronica Beaumont and steal her away from her fiancé.
Reward:
Talent Copy Card - Veronica Beaumont X1
+2000 LP ]
As Lucius heard this he almost started salivating on the spot.
Missions?
He had never gotten them before but regardless, he couldn\'t contain his excitement.
A Talent Copy Card!
Although there was no description added, the effects of such a thing would be obvious.
For Lucius, the benefits shouldn\'t be understated.
The current Veronica already had two golden grade talents, even the lowest ranking talent was still purple grade. Regardless of what happens, it was still a major profit!
The LP bonus was much more lacklustre in comparison. With a mere 2000LP, it would be difficult to hit a decent blue grade talent much less a purple one. But for Lucius, Love points were just like money. You could complain that you were missing some but you could never say that there was too much.
As Lucius read the description again he saw something shocking.
\'Fiancé? Huh? What is this in the description?\'
Searching his memory, Lucius quickly remembered the details.
\'No way, she\'s that guy\'s fiancé?!\'
Looking at Xander, Lucius had a strange expression on his face.
In the novel, this guy was really wronged.
Not only was this guy humiliated again and again by the protagonist. His schemes went up in smoke and even his fiancé was stolen!
Tch! Tch! This guy just couldn\'t get a break!
As an aspiring and soon to be villain himself, Lucius couldn\'t help but feel pity for the guy.
After all, with the way things were going right now, an eventual confrontation with the protagonist was inevitable.
If in the future he ended up as humiliated as poor Xander he might just vomit blood and die on the spot.
He could never allow himself to end up like the future Xander, so he could only do what he had to do and steal the man\'s fiancé.
As for the protagonist?
Such a wretched thing like stealing women shouldn\'t be for the protagonist.
Even if he wanted to, Lucius wouldn\'t allow it.
He would selflessly carry the burden of stealing women, staining his hands so the protagonist wouldn\'t have to walk down this dark road.
Sigh…
Although he may be a villain with such a selfless and sacrificial mindset, how was he not the hero?
In addition to this, Veronica was also the daughter of a baron, although it wasn\'t much. Such a background was still of great use to the revolution…
Sigh!
It seemed like the leader of the revolutionary army would have to sacrifice himself for the cause once again.
Cough! It\'s not that I want to do this, I promise!
It\'s just that as a man when duty calls, you must step up to the table.
Camilla would definitely have a heart attack if she could hear her Young Leader\'s shameless thoughts. Unfortunately for Camilla by now Lucius\'s skin was too thick.
Even if his thoughts were exposed for all to see, Lucius would still vehemently defend the view that it was all for the Revolutionary cause until his very last breath!
Whilst Lucius was having these, Veronica also managed to notice Lucius\'s lingering gaze and just secretly scoffed.
For her, it wasn\'t the first time a man\'s gaze had lingered on her. It just made her look down on Lucius even more. Especially after realising that Lucius was a commoner.
She didn\'t care to chastise Lucius because, even though he seemed a little confident, she didn\'t believe he had the courage to look too long.
