Good grief!
After all that, the soul-striking 'whisper attack' from earlier had Wednesday, the'strategist,' pulling the strings behind the scenes!
He was wondering how Enid, the Little Wolf Girl who usually blushed to the roots of her neck at a casual flirt and was as pure as a sheet of white paper, had suddenly become so enlightened and used such a 'lethal' move!
So there was an expert giving guidance behind her!
A mixture of competitiveness, playfulness, and a slight sense of being 'tricked' instantly surged into Victor's heart.
No way! Since when was he so easily manipulated? Especially in this 'field'! He had to win back his dignity!
The genius's love brain war was only just beginning!
A dangerous yet charming curve hooked at the corner of Victor's mouth. The lingering embarrassment in his eyes instantly settled, becoming deep and highly aggressive.
He unhurriedly raised his slender fingers and gently tugged at the collar of his floral shirt. The already loose collar was pulled open even further, revealing a section of his exquisitely lined, pale, and sexy collarbone.
His entire aura shifted abruptly, switching seamlessly from his previous pure-hearted panic to a posture of slight malice and dominance.
His gaze was like that of a precise predator, firmly locking onto his 'prey.' Every micro-expression was a textbook-level example of seduction.
"Enid~ Wednesday~"
He lowered his voice a few notches, speaking in a slow, deliberate manner with a magnetic rasp that was full of unquestionable confidence and a hint of provocation.
"Let's get one thing straight... I'm taking that wager seriously."
He paused deliberately, his gaze slowly sweeping over the faces of his two girlfriends like a feather scratching at their hearts, bringing a wave of tingling tremors.
"You both have... one last chance to back out now~"
The end of his sentence rose slightly, carrying an ambiguous hook that was thrown straight at them.
Enid felt her entire body stiffen under Victor's sudden, highly aggressive gaze and posture.
It was as if a faint electric current surged through her spine, bringing a strange, heart-stopping numbness.
A flash of panic crossed her deep blue eyes, but deeper within was a throb of being firmly attracted, even faintly looking forward to what would happen next.
A small voice in her heart was screaming: This version of Victor... is so handsome! So dangerous! But... I love it so much!
Even the always calm and self-possessed Wednesday felt her deep, pool-like eyes flicker imperceptibly under Victor's full-power gaze.
She clearly felt her heart skip a beat, and her fingertips tightened unconsciously, gripping the bedsheets beneath her.
For the first time, a trace of an emotion called 'miscalculation' flashed through her heart.
The teasing from earlier... seemed to have gone a bit too far?
Had she... stoked this fire a bit too much?
Now it seemed... there was a trend of getting burned herself?
She maintained an iceberg-like composure on the surface, but her slightly tightened jawline and the quiet reddening of her ear tips betrayed that she wasn't as calm as she appeared.
Victor took in the reactions of his two girlfriends, and the little triumphant figure in his heart had already started a victory dance, yet his face remained fixed with that effortless, 'dangerous' smile.
Good, the rhythm has been reclaimed!
Striking while the iron was hot, he took a step forward, his tall figure bringing a slight sense of pressure as his eyes burned with intensity.
"So... are we still playing Ludo?"
"Of—of course we're playing!"
Enid blurted out, her voice carrying an imperceptible tremor, but her eyes were incredibly bright, filled with the excitement of the challenge.
Wednesday took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down as she met Victor's provocative gaze. She spoke flatly, her voice still cold, but lacking some of its usual composure.
"We're playing. Why wouldn't we?"
She just silently adjusted her sitting position, moving a little further away from that'source of all evil' Ludo set.
The smile on Victor's face grew even more brilliant, like a cat that had successfully stolen a treat.
"Very well~ then..."
He reached out, his fingertips tracing over the Ludo board before finally tapping gently on the starting position.
Victor looked up at his two girlfriends, his eyes full of a determined confidence and... an unhidden expectation for the 'wager.'
"The game begins. The loser... has to be obedient."
The air in the room seemed to become thick and scorching due to the silent electric collision between the three of them.
This 'love brain war' triggered by Ludo had officially entered its white-hot stage! It was anyone's game now!
