The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

On the craggy mountain range, black ore jutted out sharply between various rock faces.

The path was covered with an uneven layer of gravel, with rocks even cracking under the high temperature.

Several demi-human guards accompanied Lia.

Since the Kravina family's demi-human guards had been exposed in the South, they no longer needed to hide their identities and could appear openly.

Although the empire had regulations prohibiting demi-humans from entering,

nobles could freely dispose of any demi-humans found within the borders.

So establishing them as guards didn't violate the regulations.

Lia, wearing a metal miner's helmet, wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She squinted at the sun hanging high in the sky.

In the mining area, several workers carried over a huge mirror.

The mirror was exceptionally tall, standing over 6 feet high, almost able to reflect Lia's entire figure.

At the top of the mirror was a pair of black ore pieces that seemed embedded in the surface, like tightly closed eyes.

Even so, it gave off a slightly eerie aura.

Lia looked at her reflection in the mirror and asked the workers:

"Is this what you dug up?"

The workers nodded in unison.

According to them, this mirror was particularly sturdy.

Even striking it with a pickaxe wouldn't damage the surface.

The workers found this object fascinating, so they decided to bring it to show Lady Lia.

Lia looked at the mirror with one hand on her chin, somewhat puzzled.

Her reflection in the mirror mimicked her movements exactly.

At this moment, Lia happened to say:

"It seems this mirror must be made of excellent material."

"Take this to my house for now."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lia unconsciously reached out her right hand.

Her reflection did the same, the "Mage's Hand" on her palm particularly eye-catching.

Soon, she touched the mirror's surface.

Lia felt nothing unusual as her hand touched the smooth surface.

But in the next second, the eyes at the top of the mirror suddenly opened, staring directly at Lia.

Lia let out a cry of surprise as a flash of white light engulfed her, and she was absorbed into the mirror.

The white light seemed to leave everyone frozen in place.

Only when Lia had completely disappeared and the mirror crashed to the ground with a "bang" did the workers snap back to reality.

They picked up the eerie mirror from the ground, feeling bewildered.

The ore eyes were tightly closed, as if they had never opened at all.

At this time, Leon slowly walked into the mining area from outside.

The workers saw the hooded Leon and greeted her with respectful smiles.

"Lady Leon."

"What are you doing here?"

The workers began reporting to Leon:

"While we were mining, we dug up this thing, and were about to report to..."

At this point, they felt confused.

Strange, who were they supposed to report to?

Leon listened and stepped forward to examine the mirror.

Then she also spoke:

"Take this to the Kravina mansion first."

After saying this, she turned to leave.

The moment she took a step, Leon's mind suddenly went blank:

"Strange."

"Why did I come here again?"

With this confusion, Leon tried hard to remember while walking away.

...

In front of the Kravina mansion, a merchant sat in his carriage, quietly waiting for the servant's arrangements outside.

The servant stood at the entrance, respectfully saying to the merchant:

"Please wait, Mr. Dier, I'll go notify..."

At this point, the servant suddenly froze,

at this moment, she didn't even know who she should notify.

The next second, the servant remembered that Master Viktor had returned to the mansion.

Then she said directly to the merchant:

"Mr. Dier, please wait, I'll go notify the master."

After seeing the merchant nod, the servant turned and hurried toward the mansion.

Soon after, the servant came back out, stood at the entrance, nodded slightly to the merchant, and said:

"Mr. Dier, please come in."

The servant led Dier into the Kravina mansion's meeting hall.

"Sir, please have a seat."

Dier nervously sat on the sofa, feeling its softness while his gaze surveyed the Kravina mansion's living room.

He had never imagined that one day he would be doing business directly with the head of the Kravina family.

But he had no choice but to come,

The contact person for the corresponding goods suddenly couldn't be found, and large quantities of materials were stranded at the port.

Soon, a whirlwind swept through the living room.

White mist gathered in the living room along with the howling wind.

The mist condensed, swirling beneath the whirlwind.

The next second, a black windbreaker dispersed the mist.

A tall man with an aura of coldness appeared in the living room, smoothly taking a seat on the sofa.

This gave the merchant quite a shock.

Yikes!

He immediately became much more alert.

Viktor clasped his hands together, quietly looking at Dier, and inquired:

"What's the matter?"

This was Dier's first time meeting Viktor, and his hands tightly gripped the hem of his clothes, his gaze somewhat unsteady,

Looking at Viktor, his heart was filled with panic.

But he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming, and spoke:

"Mr. Viktor, our goods have arrived, but no contact person has reached out to us yet."

"This is really strange."

Without a contact person, it meant no one would pay the final payment for this batch of goods, and they couldn't unload their materials.

Hearing this, Viktor crossed one leg over the other, leaned back, placed both hands on his leg, and lowered his eyebrows slightly.

He looked at the merchant, narrowing his eyes:

"What goods did we buy?"

"Large quantities of black jade, purple iron, and star-pattern ore."

Viktor nodded upon hearing these materials.

These were indeed materials they needed.

Manufacturing firearms didn't just require the elves' nature energy, that was only the final step.

They needed these special ores to refine the firearms.

Though the elves were important, the materials were equally important.

Viktor continued asking:

"Who was your previous contact person?"

"It was..."

At this point, Dier froze in place, thinking:

"The previous contact person...?"

He tried hard to remember, but no matter how much he wracked his brain, he couldn't recall.

Suddenly, his mind was overtaken by a thought.

For such a big business deal with the Kravina family, who else but Count Viktor could handle it?

Thinking this way, Dier broke out in a cold sweat.

The one who purchased all these materials could only be Viktor himself.

So, the contact person for this shipment was Viktor himself!?

And he had actually come to ask Viktor about it, this was truly foolish.

He should have personally brought the contract and order, respectfully coming to see Count Viktor.

Dier hurriedly lowered his head, sweating profusely, his body trembling slightly under Viktor's gaze.

"I deeply apologize, Count Viktor, I was disrespectful."

Fortunately, the Count wouldn't care about such a small figure, Viktor just snapped his fingers lightly.

Then, Vanilla came down from upstairs.

A petite white-furred catgirl in a maid outfit walked to Viktor's side.

She bowed respectfully to Viktor:

"Master, please give your orders."

Dier glanced up at the catgirl, surprised.

He had heard that the head of the Kravina family favored demi-humans, especially underage ones.

These rumors weren't unfounded after all.

Similar news had long been no secret in merchant circles.

Then, Viktor's voice rang out:

"Vanilla, take him to settle the final payment for the materials, then send people to bring the goods back."

"From now on, you'll temporarily manage the family's business, I believe you can do it."

Vanilla bowed down respectfully and agreed:

"Yes."

Then she walked in front of Dier and said:

"Sir, please follow me."

Dier looked at the petite demi-human before him, with her respectful and elegant manner, somewhat dumbfounded.

Was this really a demi-human?

He had dealt with slave traders before, and the demi-humans under those slave traders didn't have this kind of refined demeanor.

It could only be said that the Kravina family's ability to train demi-humans was truly as astonishing as the rumors suggested.

His heart relaxed slightly, at least the Kravina family head wasn't angry.

'Perhaps I should buy a few underage demi-humans from friends to send over.'

Thinking this, Dier stood up.

He took off his hat to Viktor, tilted his body slightly, and bowed:

"Then I shall take my leave."

"It's been a pleasure doing business, Count Viktor."

Dier put his hat back on and followed Vanilla out.

Viktor sat on the sofa, quietly watching Dier leave, appearing extremely calm.

Vega flapped its wings and landed on Viktor's shoulder.

A hoarse voice rang out:

"Hmm, I now have some understanding of your sister's influence."

After Lia's disappearance, the entire Kravina family fell into chaos.

It was manageable when merchants like this one came directly to the door, as Viktor could handle it personally.

But there were many merchants cooperating with the Kravina family who were at a loss when faced with huge orders.

With Lia's disappearance, they completely lost their contact person.

Even when workers and servants completed their work, they didn't know who to report to.

For a time, the entire management of the Kravina family was like paralyzed.

If it weren't for the Kravina family's considerable reputation, and Viktor's presence in the mansion,

Those workers and servants would have been in complete chaos by now.

"Everyone has forgotten Lia, her existence seems to have been erased."

Viktor said softly, as if talking to himself.

"However, fortunately, I haven't forgotten."

He stood up again, hands in his pockets.

His gaze fell on several workers carrying a tall mirror through the Kravina mansion's main door.

Viktor looked at that mirror, his eyes sharp and deep, slowly saying:

"Found her."
