Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 478

Nicholas's eyes grew even colder, his brow furrowed.

A dangerous glint swirled in his narrowed, charming eyes.

Although...

He found it a bit strange.

Given Serena's skills and personality, even if her opponent truly had the ability to hold her hostage, she would never... just let them do it.

Serena was...

Far too quiet.

And while the woman in red seemed fierce and incredibly arrogant, her actions and her eyes held no killing intent.

He had a strong suspicion of what was going on, but he didn't dare risk even the smallest chance of being wrong.

"Handsome~ I'm not very patient. Haven't you decided yet?" Black Jack yawned lazily, deliberately waving the dagger near Serena's cheek. "Your honor isn't that precious, handsome. A single night with me in exchange for your sweetheart's life? That's a steal. Besides... I'm not a bad deal, either. You won't lose out."

As she spoke, she struck a pose to show off her figure.

The instant Black Jack struck her pose.

Nicholas suddenly flicked his wrist.

His well-defined fingers, holding a silver button, shot it out.

The button became a silver streak, accurately hitting the wrist of the hand Black Jack held the dagger with.

"Ouch!" Black Jack yelped, and the dagger fell from her hand.

The next second.

Nicholas was already upon them, pulling Serena into his arms.

Black Jack glanced down at the dagger on the floor.

Her reaction was incredibly fast.

The moment Nicholas closed in, she had already released Serena and slid back to dodge.

Nicholas aimed a sharp side kick with his long leg at Black Jack’s abdomen.

With a twist of her waist, Black Jack did a backflip to avoid it.

Shy my ass!

The conversation between them was undeniably intimate.

Nicholas's wariness toward Black Jack finally began to ease slightly.

Black Jack tossed her red curls, waved at Nicholas, and smiled with wild, seductive charm. "Don't be nervous, handsome~ I'm De— oh, no, Serena's, Serena darling's best friend~ My name is Hazel Carring."

"I was just joking with you all, and also~ here to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

Serena was at a loss for words.

Hazel?

Did Black Jack even know what that name meant?

And besides...

With her red leather outfit and that head of red curls.

How on earth did she end up with a name like Hazel?
