Chapter 256 - The Reincarnated Villain

Chapter 256 - The Reincarnated Villain

"You knew this would happen didn't you?" Mo Li asked as they watched Daniel trying to fight against four men inside the cafe. "Is that why you chose the cafe using the excuse that it was the most comfortable one?"

"Sarah was crying earlier. She needed a place where she could sit down. That cafe is just the nearest one. And yes, I knew this would happen." Bella uttered. Of course, she knew that Daniel would soon try to cause chaos. How could an extremely controlling man endure the stares that those men were giving them? Bella shrugged when she saw Daniel started punching someone first. She then stared at the female lead who was frozen in fear. "We should leave."

"Hmmm." Mo Li said as he instructed their driver to take them away from this place. When the two arrived, they immediately went to have a bath together before Mo Li started working on his laptop while Bella was browsing some news on her tablet. A long stretch of peaceful silence descended as the two were too engrossed in their own thoughts.

"Hey, do you have people who are good with computers and stuff like that?" Bella asked, interrupting the silence.

"Yes."

"Do you think, I can borrow them for a while?"

"Borrow?" the term that she used made him smile. "What's mine is yours. You should know that, right?"

"Oh," Bella nodded. "Then… can I just tell you what I wanted to do then you can let them do it?"

Mo Li brought his attention back to Bella. "Of course." He knew she was already planning something else.

"Do you want to win this election?" Bella suddenly asked. In the coming election, the Male Lead should win. However, if she would help Mo Li, Bella was very confident that she would be able to make her husband win. This wasn't some assumption. It was just that, after she reviewed Mo Li's platforms and presence online, almost all younger people in the city are actually his fan.

The man wasn't only working with his company, he also had a lot of 'movements' that earn the praise of the millennial. Right now, Mo Li is involved in a lot of orphanages and some movements against drugs and corruption. He was also showing some supports in cancer and HIV. In short, people admire him not only because he was rich and good looking. It was also because he was kind and wouldn't hesitate to help out anyone.

Even the issue of him marrying a divorced woman wasn't enough to tarnish his reputation. In fact, people are now admiring Mo Li for following his heart. He was breaking all the rules and traditions and for that, people are applauding for his bravery. Because of this, Bella had been wondering if Mo Li really needed her help.

Clearly, even without her help, this man would surely win the hearts of the people in this City if he tries harder. She stared at Mo Li as she waited for him to answer her question.

"Would you get mad if I say no?" he smiled at her. Mo Li was sitting a few feet away from Bella. He was calmly working on his laptop while drinking his tea.

"Why would I?"

He squinted. "Really?"

"A part of me would think that you only did it to recruit me, I say that was a good way to propose." She smirked.

"And the other part?'

She stared at him. "The other part of me would think that you are doing this to ruin the Mo Family." Her face turned serious when Mo Li gave her a knowing look. It was as he was staring deep inside her as if he was peeking into her soul. She chuckled inwardly. Why was she overthinking?

"Can you read my mind?" Mo Li asked.

"I thought that is one of your talents?" Bella noticed how Mo Li had been very caring and observant. However, she also noticed how he seemed to know her schemes that he knew the back of his palm. At one point, she wondered if he was merely reading her facials reactions. Or perhaps the man just knew her too much to be able to predict what she was about to do. Until now, Bella still couldn't understand why Mo Li was pretty good at knowing her next moves like he was already anticipating it.

He chuckled and slowly closed his laptop. Sitting at his side of the bed, Mo Li stared at Bella without saying anything. "If I destroy the Mo Family. Would you support me?" Mo Li wasn't sure what her mission was. He only wanted to know if his mission was still different from hers, this time. He wouldn't want them to become enemies in this world.

After all that happened in the previous world, Mo Li slowly understood that his mission and her mission was quite different. Meaning, there could be a possibility that the person that he would try to save would be the person that Lily was tasked to kill. This was another reason why he had been too anxious in this world. He had started to know more about the universe, to understand a little about their fates and he felt that the more he knew the more he realized that he doesn't really know anything about them.

"Of course," Bella asked. While she was stun that Mo Li would actually tell her something so important like this, she could assure him that she fully supported this decision. Right now, all she had to do was identify who the reincarnator is and… Bella suddenly frowned. "Hey, can I use your computer for a while?" she asked and didn't wait for him to answer as he ran towards his computer and started typing.

"Did something happen? Is there something wrong?"

"I am just curious about Daniel Rogers."

"Hm?" Almost immediately Mo Li lifted an eyebrow as he uttered, "Curious?"

"Not that— not like that!" she hissed. She wasn't some naive teenager. Bella doesn't need to look at Mo Li to know that he was frowning. The guy was jealous, she concluded while chuckling inwardly.

"Then?"

"I am just curious about why he came here. You know that man's family is abroad even his business was abroad. He shouldn't have any business here. Unless…. He was the reincarnator?

[Side Quest: Identify the Reincarnated Villain. Reward: 50 Coins. Completed.]

Bella snorted before she leaned against the couch. Then she started chuckling and nodding her head. 'You got me, robot!' she uttered inwardly. 'You actually made me think too much who was the reincarnated Villain! I didn't even consider that the Villain was already a reincarnated Villain!'

[The Host didn't ask Bee.]

"…" Something like that could happen too? She could just ask a question and this Robot would answer her? HAHAHA, She really wanted to laugh! How could the Robot help her out? That never happened before! 'Is this part of your update?' she asked.

[Negative. Bee would always answer the host questions. If Bee doesn't answer, it means Bee doesn't know.]

Again, Bella nodded. That's right. This thing would answer her question! But that doesn't mean that the answer was actually right! Mostly, this robot would ghost her or would say that he doesn't have any idea or is not permitted to say anything! 'Ah, Robot… you are really making me speechless I want to cry.'

"Is there something wrong?" Mo Li's worried face woke her up from her stupor. She immediately cleared her throat. How could she act so casual around Mo Li? She even laughed on her own! This…. "Are you feeling well?" Mo Li put the back of his palm on her head. "Seems normal to me."

"…" Bella gulped. Mo Li was showing real and sincere worry for her. "I— I just thought it was funny."

"Hm?"

"I remember something."

"You do?" For a few seconds, she saw excitement flashed in Mo Li's eyes. What was he so excited about? Bella nodded in response.

"I think I know why Daniel Rogers is here in the City even when his businesses were abroad." She declared, a little pride surge inside her. Now that she knew Daniel reincarnated, then it would only mean that he would try and do something to the male lead!

Her mission this time was to save the female lead from the hands of the villain. Meaning, all she needed to do was get Sarah away from… Wait… Bella started frowning again when she thought of Sarah's eyes. She looked like… she looked like she actually thought Daniel love her! It was… It was the eyes of someone abused who thought they wouldn't be able to survive without Daniel!

She then remembered how Sarah seemed to lack confidence. Was it possible that her brain was already poisoned by the abuser villain? Slowly, her eyes turned towards Mo Li. "I think Daniel Rogers wanted to ruin someone's career." She said. However, she didn't miss the disappointment in Mo Li's eyes.
