Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

Both heard Noralia's sound and immediately jumped in surprise, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Lylia, at this moment, shyly stepped back, feeling her heart beat incessantly as if it would leap out of her chest.

Her breath was hurried, her face flushed so much that it seemed it would catch fire, and her eyes were damp with a hint of tears.

At this moment, Lylia resembled an orchid with a few dewdrops in the early morning.

Wet and graceful, Noan could not restrain himself, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him.

Although Lylia was a Rank A Lord, her physique was still that of a normal person, and how could she resist a monster like Noan?

But even if she could resist, she didn't want to.

Lylia allowed Noan to pull her toward him, and then he lowered his head, kissing her moist lips.

However, the kiss didn't last long; they pulled apart only a few seconds later, like a dragonfly skimming across the water's surface.

Boom!!!

Although the kiss was very gentle, Lylia's face seemed to explode after parting.

Her face was so red that Noan could see the veins beneath her snow-white skin.

"Oy! Are you… are you okay?" Noan asked with concern.

Lylia didn't hear his words at all. She opened her eyes wide, looking far into the distance, her mind in chaos with countless thoughts.

'I just kissed him.'

'I just kissed him, he initiated the kiss, my first kiss… he has taken it.'

'AAAA!!! I kissed him, this isn't good, I can't stay calm, hahahaha… finally, after so many years of waiting, I finally kissed him.'

"Lylia!" At this moment, the voice wasn't his, but Noralia's.

She didn't hear any response from inside the room, and immediately said with concern: "I'm coming in!"

Crit!

The door to the room opened, and Noralia saw Noan holding Lylia in his arms, and Lylia's expression… was just as she had imagined.

It looked like she was lost in a beautiful dream, still not fully awake.

Noralia's mouth opened, and she was startled. The speed… how could it be so fast?

Had they…

Noan knew exactly what Noralia was thinking and quickly explained: "Aunt Noralia, I… we haven't done anything yet, it's just… a kiss."

"Ah! No, I…"

Noan sighed as he saw Noralia, and his words began to lose control.

Was it reasonable to say that he just kissed their daughter in front of her parents?

Noralia pursed her lips and quickly said, "Alright, Lylia, calm down a little. Jankos is outside; he wants to see you."

"Ah!" Lylia immediately snapped out of her daze when she heard Noralia's words.

"Mom, why does he want to see me?" Lylia said irritably, her face, which was once immersed in happiness, now showing a hint of discomfort.

"He's your fiancé; it's normal for him to come and see you," Noralia replied, frowning.

Lylia glanced at Noan after hearing this and quickly explained, "Noan, don't misunderstand, I don't have any relationship with him."

"My grandfather and his grandfather arranged this engagement. I… I didn't want to accept the engagement, so I left the family and came to live with my mother."

Noralia sighed after hearing this and added, "It's a long story, but we should address the current situation first."

"Lylia, you should go out and meet Jankos."

"No!" Lylia shook her head, pouting and saying, "Why should I meet him? He's just…"

"Lylia!" Noralia snapped, "This is not the time for you to act like a child. Jankos' family is very dangerous, they could harm you, and even Noan."

"Do you want to see Noan in danger?"

After saying this, Noralia realised she had misspoken and immediately explained, "Sorry, Noan. I didn't mean it that way, what I meant is…"

"It's okay!" Noan smiled and said, "I understand. Aunt Noralia, can I talk to Lylia for a moment? It won't be long, I can change her mind."

Noralia glanced at the stubborn Lylia sitting in Noan's lap, then sighed and said, "Alright, but make it quick. If you keep him waiting too long, he'll get suspicious."

After finishing her words, she immediately left the room.

As soon as the door closed, Lylia said sadly, "Noan, you have to believe me, I won't like him, and I definitely won't marry him."

Noan smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, but right now, we can't act on our emotions."

"You just heard your mother say, Jankos' family is very dangerous; they will harm you."

Lylia lowered her head and said sadly, "I'm sorry."

"Hahaha… Lylia, you don't need to apologise. On the contrary, I have a very interesting plan. Would you like to hear it?"

"Heh?!" Lylia looked at Noan with confusion.

Noan lowered his head, leaning close to her ear and whispered something.

...

In the living room,

At this moment, Jankos was sitting and drinking tea with Noralia. Vylyss had gone to another room; after all, she was Noan's hero and couldn't be seen by Jankos.

"Aunt Noralia, you're becoming more and more beautiful, making me think you're only twenty-five years old."

Noralia, hearing Jankos' words, wasn't pleased at all. On the contrary, she just nodded indifferently, "Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Jankos, but I am old now. No one needs me anymore, so I can only hide here and live alone."

"Hahahaha... Aunt Noralia, if I marry Lylia in the future, I'll move here to live with you," Jankos said with a smile. "I don't want you to be lonely, and besides, the living conditions here aren't bad. We'll surely live together happily."

Hearing Jankos' words, Noralia genuinely felt disgusted.

This bastard not only had his eyes on her daughter, but now he was also eyeing her.

"Thank you, Young Master, but I just want to stay here alone," Noralia frowned and said indifferently.

"Hahaha... Don't worry, when the time comes, you'll feel that having me live here will make you feel happier and warmer than ever," Jankos said with a greedy smile.

His smile made Noralia shudder, inwardly cursing Jankos as a perverted and greedy man.

But she couldn't resist too harshly; after all, Jankos came from a powerful family. If he became upset, it was likely that her and Lylia's lives would never be peaceful.

Creak!

"Looks like you're having a pleasant conversation with my mother, right?" Lylia opened the door, her gaze filled with disgust as she looked at Jankos.

Upon seeing Lylia, he couldn't help but feel that she seemed even more alluring than before. However, he didn't care much; the more beautiful Lylia was, the better.

Jankos slowly stood up upon seeing Lylia, holding a bouquet of beautiful roses.

He approached Lylia and smiled, "These are the roses you like."

Lylia glanced at the bouquet of roses but didn't take it. Instead, she said indifferently, "What are you here for?"

Jankos, seeing her expression, wasn't angry. On the contrary, he smiled excitedly, "I'm your fiancé, isn't it normal to come see you?"

Lylia's heart burned with anger, as if her chest might explode, but remembering Noan's words, she tried to restrain herself.

"It's an engagement arranged by my grandfather and your grandfather, and I don't like you."

"Hahahaha..." Jankos laughed loudly, "Love can develop over time. Don't you want to see your family driven to ruin? Or… do you want to ruin your mother's peaceful life?"

"You… are you threatening me?" Lylia gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger.

"Hahaha... Lylia, you misunderstand, I'm not threatening you, I'm just saying what could happen in the worst-case scenario," Jankos said, still laughing, his gaze filled with malice that made Lylia feel disgusted.

But she quickly regained her composure, furrowing her brows and asking, "Did you come here just to bring flowers?"

"Ah! You mean..." Jankos was somewhat surprised by Lylia's question.

"You're meeting your fiancée, yet you only bring a bouquet? It seems you don't care much about your fiancée, do you?" Lylia said, her voice conveying mockery that made Jankos uncomfortable.

However, that discomfort quickly vanished, and he thought of a scenario that made him smile with satisfaction.

'Ah! It seems all women are the same. Even if you're a young lady from a great family, you're still a woman, just a parasite who loves to eat money.'

"Hahaha... you're right, I forgot about that. I have a card with me, it has more than a billion credit points," Jankos said with a smile. "The password is six zeros; you can use it as you wish. You can come to me to get more if it runs out."

Lylia looked at the card, her face showing a hint of disgust. But then, she shook her head and said, "I don't need a credit card, I just need you to help me with something."

"Hm?! What do you mean..." Jankos frowned.

"I need resources."
