Aria instantly smiled smugly at Rapido’s words.
Rapido had been Lisha’s loyal suitor for several years, but Lisha had always been dismissive of Rapido. As a result, Rapido could not help but resent Lisha.
Moreover, Jagoan had also humiliated Rapido in front of Lisha at the antique market, which was why Rapido’s feelings for Lisha turned from love to hatred.
In this case, Aria only had to seduce him a little, and he took the bait. Then Rapido defected to Aria, helping her give false testimony that Lisha had Jagoan assassinate Lowich and Aria.
Rapido swore at the time that Aria had not given him anything and that he had not benefited from Aria.
He was telling the truth. However, he got Aria. That was what he got from doing that.
“Didn’t you used to like Lisha?” Aria asked triumphantly.
Rapido chuckled and said darkly, “Yes, I used to like Lisha, but what can I do when she doesn’t like me? Besides, Lisha is hungry for that man from Dragon Kingdom. What can I do? If I can’t get her, I’ll destroy her. No one else can get their hands on her!”
Aria twisted her body in Rapido’s arms before adding, “It’s good that you have that determination. As long as you stick with me and make me mayor, I won’t treat you badly. The Kaygene family will have a close relationship with our family in the future.”
Rapido was overjoyed to hear Aria say this. He found himself reenergized, so he wanted another round.
Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang.
It was none other than Jagoan and Claremento who walked in!
Several people stood outside, all the personal guards of the mayor’s residence and the captain of the personal guards, who was devoted to Lisha.
With Aria in the room, who had no clothes on, they could only stay outside. Only Mayor Claremento and Jagoan were allowed inside.
“So that’s it…” Jagoan suddenly saw the light.
He finally understood why Rapido turned to Aria and gave false testimony for her. He also understood why Mayor Claremento let Aria out while he kept Lisha under house arrest.
Mayor Claremento could only find her weakness and expose her by letting her out to do whatever she wanted!
Rapido on the bed was terrified. He got up from Aria with a squeal, got away from her, scrambled out of bed, and knelt before Claremento.
“Uncle, uncle, don’t misunderstand me! I like Aria, and we’re old enough to get married. Doing such a thing isn’t against the law, right…”
Rapido was naked. His fat body disgusted people, and that ugly thing was dangling in mid-air, making people feel like throwing up at the sight of it.
Aria on the bed was also ghastly pale, but she was calm. She did not panickedly kneel to apologize but stayed in bed, covering her body with a thin quilt.
“There’s nothing wrong with you two dating. But did you think I didn’t hear your conversation earlier?” Claremento questioned fiercely.
Rapido’s body shook with fear, and the thing bobbed up and down.
“Kill him, Jagoan!” Claremento commanded.
Jagoan did not move.
Jagoan smiled as he pulled out his Iongsword and chopped off Rapido’s head as he looked on in horror.
Jagoan then looked at Aria on the bed.
“What about her?” Jagoan asked, meaning whether he should take care of her too.
Jagoan reluctantly sheathed his Iongsword. He would like to kill Aria if possible. She was too annoying. However, since Claremento did not give the order, Jagoan could only refrain, or he would be responsible for killing her.
