The SSS Ranked Villain's Return

"Intentions?" Evangeline tilted her head. "I guess I want to start a family with him. Or is that too plain...?"

"N-No, honey, that sounds wonderful," Sophia replied, a bit startled by Evangeline's answer. "I didn't expect you to be so direct... Girls your age tend not to even think about that stuff yet."

At those words, Evangeline's brows twitched. "My age? I suppose so. I guess I'm just slightly different from the rest—in a good way, of course."

Noticing that Evangeline was about to go on a smug rant, Neraxis cut her off. "Mom, Father, will there be any issues for us? I mean, after I cleared the 10th floor, I was swarmed by paparazzi."

"Not necessarily," Roskaris replied before going in-depth. "In fact, business-wise, you made our shares skyrocket. The genius son of the Valen family—they gave you a pretty funny title."

"Pfft... Really?" Sophia chimed in. "That sounds horrible."

"Well, a lot of companies reached out to us and wanted to be put under our wing. Even if the title is bad, it will make us more influential, and in turn, we can pamper Neraxis and Elara more," Roskaris finished with a wide grin before turning to Evangeline. "And of course, our future daughter-in-law."

"Haha..." Evangeline let out a nervous laugh.

After that, dinner went pretty smoothly, with Sophia asking Evangeline about her life, and Evangeline giving fairly generic answers.

After all, who would believe half of the stuff Evangeline would say? Being the progenitor of vampires as well as a dead powerhouse would be a lot to take in.

Nonetheless, dinner wrapped up quickly, and the ancient coconut-blueberry jam his parents were so excited about turned out to be nothing more than a simple recipe that didn't even taste great.

But obviously, Neraxis didn't point that part out.

"Evangeline, I'm glad we got to meet you!" Sophia exclaimed, grabbing Evangeline's hands.

"Y-Yes, me too. It was fun; I hope we can do it again soon," Evangeline replied with a smile. "I liked the blueberry coconut jam, by the way."

"I know, right? It was delicious," Sophia said with a giggle before letting go of Evangeline's hand. "I won't hold you two up. Go do whatever you want. Neraxis, classes start early, so don't miss them."

"Got it." Neraxis nodded and walked over to Evangeline, interlacing his fingers with hers. "See you later."

"Have fun," Roskaris added with a sly grin before closing the door.

"Shall we?" Neraxis asked with a smile.

"Sure," Evangeline replied softly.

They didn't have a set destination in mind, so Neraxis simply took her to the mall, which, thankfully, stayed open overnight.

Even at night, he could still see plenty of people driving by his house, probably trying to get a photo of him.

But he merely ignored them, until eventually, the two arrived at the mall.

It was rather empty, with even the workers slacking off, sleeping at their posts.

"They are pretty careless," Evangeline remarked. "Wanna rob a store?"

"What...?" Neraxis's eyes widened.

"Pfft... I'm just kidding," Evangeline said, holding back a laugh. "I just wanted to see your reaction, sorry."

"Yeah, and you did." Neraxis grumbled, and as he was about to speak, he noticed a figure off in the distance.

"It's her..." Evangeline's eyes narrowed.

There was a lone girl with long green hair sitting on some random bean bag chair and eating ice cream.

She didn't seem to notice they were there, but Evangeline clearly wasn't going to stay quiet.

"Can I punch her?" Evangeline asked with an ominous smile on her face.

"I'd say go for it, but it's better if you don't." Neraxis shrugged. "While she does act like a bitch most of the time, I don't have anything against her."

"Well, I'll have a nice chat with her then," Evangeline said and let go of his hand before walking over to her.

"Eris, right?" Evangeline asked nicely, interrupting the ice cream eating session.

Eris tilted her head. "Do I know you?"

"Not directly, but you might know him," Evangeline said, pointing to Neraxis, who was standing behind them.

The moment Eris saw Neraxis, her brows immediately furrowed. "What is he doing here?"

"Haha..." Evangeline let out a soft laugh. "We were just looking for a place to hook up, but Neraxis told me a lot about you, so I thought of having a little chat."

"Listen, bitch, I don't care whether you want to give him fellatio in the parking lot or what—leave me alone," Eris lashed out before standing up.

Yet as she did, Evangeline suddenly kicked the back of Eris's knees, making her buckle.

"I don't take kindly to insults, you vixen," Evangeline said coldly.

All of a sudden, Eris shot up from the ground before launching her ice cream directly at Evangeline's face.

Evangeline evaded, and the ice cream flew past her before landing in Neraxis's hands.

Maybe the mall was a bad idea? he thought while licking the ice cream. Peppermint... at least she has some taste.

"Oi, you motherfucker!" Eris yelled, pointing at Neraxis. "What do you think you're doing!?"

Instead of responding, he merely continued licking the ice cream, watching as Eris's expression crumbled.

"Y-You..." she said through gritted teeth and flashed a hatred-filled gaze toward Evangeline. "What do you even want from me? Huh? Both of you keep clinging onto me. Do you like me or something...?" Eris trailed off. "You know I'm not into girls, right?"

"Disgusting." Evangeline's expression turned sour as she suddenly lost all interest in Eris. "You need to be taught manners, but I won't be the one to teach you."

"Right, right, I believe you, big-breasted cow," Eris taunted, and Evangeline's eyes widened as though she was about to snap.

However, a few distant voices soon made all three of them halt.

—This way!

—Are you sure someone is robbing the mall at this hour?

—Of course! I saw three people robbing the ice cream van!

"Evangeline," Neraxis called out, getting her attention.

As he did, he immediately jumped upward, landing on the third floor of the mall.

Evangeline soon followed after, and surprisingly, so did Eris, as she landed right beside them.

"What are you doing here, vixen?" Evangeline asked.

"Stop calling me that, you cow," Eris grumbled. "I don't wanna get caught, or else I'd go to jail."

Neraxis tilted his head. "Why would you go to jail?"

"I stole the ice cream," Eris shrugged. "No way in hell am I paying 15 Crowns for a scoop of fucking ice cream."

"At least you're not a stupid vixen," Evangeline nodded with approval.

Just what is up with these two? Neraxis sighed and, with the two girls beside him, made his way to the top of the mall.

But now, they were in a bit of an uncomfortable situation.

Neraxis wanted to hang out with Evangeline inside the mall, but now that security was scanning the entire place, it seemed impossible.

Checking the {Body Manifestation} skill, he saw that there were still 8 hours left before it went on cooldown for a week.

"Hey, Neraxis?" Evangeline called out with an embarrassed look on her face.

"What's up?" he replied.

"I think we need to go to the pharmacy..." Evangeline said, fidgeting slightly as she walked closer to him and whispered, "If we don't... I might be pregnant..."

Hearing that, Neraxis froze, his eyes widening.

"...What?"
