Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 98 What Is This? (1)

The finely dressed man's face twisted again when he heard this, but he also couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.

For some reason, he actually felt a trace of fear when he heard this threat from this young boy.

He didn't understand why he would feel fear from this clearly weak threat.

But at the same time, he started feeling shame from feeling fear because of this threat. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹．𝐨𝐫𝗴

He wanted to say something else, but Jessica had already moved forward so that she was in between me and the finely dressed man. She had unsheathed her sword and it was being pointed at the finely dressed man.

So the finely dressed man had no choice but to back down.

He glared at us for a few more seconds before turning to storm off.

As he was leaving, he didn't forget to add, "You thugs won't get away with this! Wait until the count hears about this, then you'll regret it!"

Also before he left, he couldn't help saying to his wife, "You better not come home tonight or you'll really get it."

I knitted my brows when I heard this, but I reached out to stop Jessica from charging at that man. I could see that she was just as angry at that man for what he did to the orange haired woman, but I knew that we shouldn't cause a scene more than what we had already caused because of it.

Creating a commotion was one thing, but murder was on a completely different level. Even if it was assault, it wasn't an offense that was easily handled.

I also was a bit worried that this man had mentioned the count.

If he really was related to the count, then this wouldn't be a simple matter.

But for now, what was more important was making sure that the orange haired woman was alright.

Once I was sure that the finely dressed man was gone, I turned back to the orange haired woman and took off my coat for her. It was currently the middle of fall, so it was quite cold at night.

When she saw me raising the coat towards her, she didn't react at first.

But then she gave me a grateful look as she slowly took the coat and put it on.

The crowd that had gathered was now finally working up the courage to come and help, but I didn't let them. Since they were too scared to help earlier, then those that came now were only helping with ulterior motives.

It was better to ignore people like this.

So I asked the orange haired woman, "Would you like to join us for dinner?"

The orange haired woman looked at me with a confused look at first, but then seeing the sincere look that I had, she gave a nod in response.

So the four of us stood up and headed into my carriage.

Of course, since she was still shaken up about what had happened, I went out again and sat down beside the driver.

The driver looked at me with a smile and I just ignored it since I knew what he was implying.

We were already close to the restaurant, so it didn't take long for us to get there.

Since this was a place that was quite expensive, there were plenty of open seats since there were few people who could afford to dine here in the first place.

When the orange haired woman saw where we were, she couldn't help stopping and saying, "I should go. There's no need for you to treat me to a meal here."

I shook my head with a bitter smile before saying, "I was already planning on having a meal here, so it doesn't matter if there's one more person. Plus, I've already said that I would treat you, so please don't make me a liar."

Hearing this, the orange haired woman still said, "No, I was the one that caused trouble for you, so you don't need to treat me to anything. I should go…"

She turned to leave, but before she could, I grabbed her hand.

She looked at me with a look of surprise before a look of suspicion appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, I said, "I don't want to do anything to you. I just wanted to ask if you even have a place to go."

After all, the other side was her husband, so it wasn't safe for her to go home. Not to mention, I didn't feel good about sending a woman out into the night alone like this.

The orange haired woman was taken aback by these words before slowly shaking her head.

She hadn't thought about what she would do next, she had just thought about getting out of this current situation.

I raised my hands to show that I meant no harm and tried to sound as innocent as I could as I said, "I really mean you no harm. I just want to make sure that you're safe. Is that alright?"

Both Nicole and Jessica were a bit annoyed that this orange haired woman was acting this way, but they still played along and showed that they meant no harm.

The orange haired woman looked at me for a bit before giving a sigh and saying, "I'm sorry for being so rude. It was…"

As her voice trailed off, her eyes also went distant.

I raised my hand to stop her as I said, "There's no need to explain, I understand."

When the orange haired woman heard this, she couldn't help revealing a bit of a blush. That was because…he looked quite handsome like this…

But she gave a cough to calm herself down before saying, "Thank you."

I gave a nod in response for gesturing with one hand and saying, "Shall we?"

The orange haired woman gave a nod and then we went into the restaurant together.

What I didn't know was how much this encounter would affect me in the future.
