Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

Aetheria Prime, Maple's District…

A lovely couple stood by the glass window and stared down at the crowd going wild and betting crazily as if possessed.

And why won't they as this was one of the simplest methods to earn money without working hard?

"Sir Greymore and Miss Befort, Madam Sophia is waiting in the VIP lounge," She bowed to them and informed them while trying her best not to look at the blissful smile that adorned Seph's face.

She can't help but feel her heartbeat hastened. Suppressing her intrusive thoughts, the maid led them inside.

Ella matching Seph's strides peeked curiously all around. She was excited to meet the so-called Queen of Underground and didn't want to lose when compared to her.

Thinking this she pouted.

"You don't need to feel jealous? How can that old woman match you when you are growing up?"Seph spoke with a pleasant smile.

"Hmph!No need to appease me," Ella snorted.

As they entered, they saw a crimson-haired woman sitting on a red sofa. The entire decoration of the place was dyed red which was too heavy for her taste making Ella's mood foul.

Just then, as she looked at Sophia, she burst out in jealousy.

'Damn! She is a fucking tank, packed with everything.'

Seph smiled seeing Ella's gaze and he was satisfied, very satisfied with her expression.

He did this to broaden her horizons and make her understand that she wasn't the only one. If she doesn't perform to his expectations, she can be discarded anytime after he kills Lin Fang.

Seph grasped her hand tightly and then looked at Sophia, scanning her from head to toe who was also doing the same.

Seph eyes glowed with interest.

'She would be a fine addition to my harem. Her mind is also tough, worthy enough to resist my allure. My card that triggers 80% goodwill and a 30% chance to trigger love on first sight didn't activate which means she is something else. A woman worthy enough to hold the title.'

"Seph Greymore!What a grand way to appear by winning a huge sum by betting and making your men participate, "Sophia maintained a friendly smile and asked, "What brings you here, heir Greymore?"

"I have heard many things about you, Miss Sophia, which have drawn my attention."

"Is that so?"Sophia spoke observing Seph's expression trying to gauge his thoughts.

Ella looked at Seph and then at Sophia staring at one another.

"Is there something between the two of you that I am not aware of?"Ella asked curiously.

"Quite perceptive of you, Miss Ella."Seph teased him, walking forward while Ella took his seat.

Folding his legs with a prideful grin, Seph spoke"I have brought a proposal for you."

"Let's hear what you say, "Sophia answered, folding her arms around her chest.

"Before that, I wanted to ask you about a certain someone."

"Who?"Sophia asked with a frown.

"About a boy named Roy,"

"The 15-year-old that got himself killed in the ring, right?"

Seph nodded softly.

"He was just here to make a few bucks alas he got himself killed."

"Did he come here by himself or?"Seph asked, leaning forward.

A deadly silence lingered in the air for a moment.

A suffocating atmosphere prevailed out of nowhere scaring Ella, who could feel a palpable tension in the air.

"Yes, he came by himself."

'System...'

[She is lying.]

'Got it.'

Seph could already guess bits from this lie.

'Either she is with Leon or Leon managed to hurt the boy and sold it here for some pretty bucks. As for her taking interest in him unless she has a soft boy sugar mama fetish, there is no way she can love that soft boy which isn't possible as Ye Chen had to defeat her in a fight starting the love-hate relationship.'

"Now what is the deal you are talking about, heir Greymore?"Sophia raised her brows with a mischievous smile.

Leon was the only exception with whom she tried to prolong time because of taking an interest in him. In her eyes compared to Leon, Seph might be good or even better than him but for her Leon was and will be the only choice.

"I have an offer for you," Seph spoke with a stern expression, looking deep into Sophia's eyes.

"By chance, I had a hand on the serum that enhances the physique. It's an indigenously developed serum from my team. I want to partner with you."

"What sort of partnership exactly are you looking for and is it a serum or a drug?"Sophia asked with a cold expression.

Though she was famous in the underground, she didn't take part in drug dealing and other illegal things. Most of her source of income comes from the boxing ring where most participants enter with their free will and they are responsible for their death.

In the end, it was their no choice and she had never forced or found people on her own accord.

So, she was curious about why Seph looked for her instead of a Mafia or Drug Lord.

Ella stared at Sophia with an amusing smile.

'I don't know if she is acting hard or is naive. Can't you understand such a simple thing?'

Sophia frowned seeing Ella giving her a smug look accompanied by a sneer.

"Don't worry, it's a serum. I want you to use your name to spread this serum to underworld members from each gang."Seph laid out his intention.

Sophia's expression contorted with a frown.

"Why don't you sell this to the Government? Your Grandparents hold important positions in the government so there is no way the Government would bare its fangs at you and you also get more profit."

"I plan on doing that also Miss Sophia."Seph chuckled, startling Sophia.

Question marks appeared over Sophia's face and as she started pondering about it, she found it hard to manage her facial expression.

"Wait a minute! You mean you are going to supply to both."
