Chapter 15: Hecate’s Persona Collapses
The sun rose, casting light over a waking world.
Unknowingly, Lin Tai had been back in this world for three days. A lot had happened in those three days, and the plot had veered so far off course it was absurd.
Last night, he’d spent time sorting through it.
After piecing it together, he concluded the main reason was Lin Zhentian spending a fortune to sway Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan, causing their attitudes to shift.
“System, let me confirm again—are you sure they haven’t been reborn?”
[Rest assured, Host. The Salted Fish System would never deceive you.]
“But the plot’s a complete mess now. Won’t this damn Heavenly Dao restart the world again?”
[Host, each world’s Heavenly Dao only gets one chance to restart. Once you complete this plot, I guarantee I’ll send you back to your original world.]
“OK, then I’ll keep going with the plot.” With the system’s assurance, Lin Tai had no choice but to trust it.
“Young Master, breakfast is ready.” A knock sounded at the door, followed by Hecate’s distinctive voice. Though she was from Eagle Country, her Mandarin was more precise than most Chinese natives.
As a top assassin, her missions required her to blend into any environment worldwide, so language couldn’t be a weakness.
Lin Tai opened the door. Hecate stood there, wearing a white lace-trimmed cap, a black-and-white maid outfit hugging her figure perfectly. The white stockings accentuated her long legs, and the frameless glasses on her nose added an irresistible charm.
“Why are you dressed ?” Lin Tai nearly had a nosebleed. The “poison walking among men” in a maid outfit—this was lethal!
“Is something wrong?” Hecate tilted her head, glancing at her maid attire in confusion.
She’d defined herself as Lin Tai’s maid, so naturally, she wore the proper uniform.
Lacking experience, she’d consulted Baidu and ended up .
“Nothing …” Lin Tai took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation. He realized Hecate’s persona had completely collapsed!
She was the world’s top assassin—always icy, striking to kill without hesitation. Yet now? Wearing a maid outfit? This persona was beyond saving.
No, it wasn’t that simple!
In his past life, Hecate never changed clothes in front of Lin Tai or Ye Bai. Her daily wear was either jeans with a shirt or her night gear.
Today, she’d switched styles entirely!
Could it be that after meeting Ye Bai last night, she planned to use seduction?
Lin Tai couldn’t figure it out. The original script never mentioned Hecate using seduction. But it didn’t matter. He had to admit, Hecate’s figure was stunning—especially in that maid outfit, breathtakingly beautiful.
Ye Bai’s sacrifice was huge, letting his future wife seduce him …
What endurance—worthy of a male lead!
“Young Master, don’t you like it?”
“No, I like it a lot.”
“Then Hecate will wear it just for you from now on,” she said happily. She’d worried that morning that Lin Tai might dis outfit.
“Young Master, here’s your breakfast—fried dough sticks and soy milk.” Hecate remembered her boy loved this combination.
“Mm.” Lin Tai nodded approvingly. A top assassin indeed—her grasp of his preferences was spot on, even knowing his favorite foods.
After breakfast, Lin Tai prepared to head out.
“This morning, I’m going to see Lu Ziyan to get that video back. Don’t mention it to anyone,” he said, following the plot.
Of course, he reminded Hecate before leaving.
Though Ye Bai was half-crippled now, Lin Tai believed his resilience meant he’d rush over if he got wind of it.
“Yes, Hecate will never tell,” she assured.
“Good.” Lin Tai turned and got into his car.
As a heroine, if Hecate didn’t inform Ye Bai, Lin Tai wouldn’t believe it.
Everything was set for the next step.
With Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan’s personas off track, he refused to believe Lu Ziyan would follow suit.
Lu Ziyan wasn’t the Lu family’s only child—she had two older brothers. With no inheritance to claim, she wouldn’t be swayed by her father’s bribes.
Besides, his birthday was over, so his father had no reason to buy her off now.
With that thought, Lin Tai felt much better.
Finally, he could follow a normal plotline.
The engine roared to life, the sports car sparking against the ground as it sped away.
