While Alex was grumbling deep inside, he remained calm on the surface.
"Right, I have a bad reputation," Alex said in a sad tone. "People call me the Blackmail King, but that was my only choice to protect my club members. Is that a bad thing?"
To his surprise, the young lady in front of him spoke the words he never expected to hear from her.
"No. You did the right thing," Lapiz stated. "Back then, I thought you looked really cool… even though you were wearing a mask."
Alex did two fist pumps internally. It was a big win if Lapiz had a good impression of him. Because of that, he decided to help the young lady for a bit.
"With my reputation as the Karaoke King and the Blackmail King, I, Alex Stratos, promise to help you with your problems." Alex patted his chest with confidence. "So, who bullied you? I'll make sure that they regret making you cry."
"But I'm not crying?" Lapiz blinked.'
