Three days later.
In the villa's living room.
While attempting to hack through the outer firewall of the Ministry of Defense, Orsaga glanced at Elsa, who was sitting across from him watching the news.
He casually asked,
"The luggage in your room was packed by the smart maid three days ago. Why haven't you left yet?"
After all, he was still planning to take over the room entirely.
"Drop dead!"
The response came in the form of a flying pillow hurled at him.
Initially, Elsa had genuinely intended to move out—especially after Orsaga kept teasing her like one would a pet—but there was one major issue that stopped her.
If she moved out now, there was a real risk that this despicable and shameless man might manipulate her love-struck mother with sweet words and deceit.
If that happened...
She, the legal heir-to-be, might find herself completely cut off and thrown out of the house.
Who could tolerate that?!
So despite all her frustration, Elsa ultimately chose to stay.
She had no illusions about Orsaga's lack of morals.
Effortlessly dodging the incoming pillow, Orsaga kept typing away at layers of encrypted code, not even bothering to lift his head.
"Don't you have any new tricks?"
"At least give me something entertaining. That act from a couple of days ago was kind of fun."
Hearing that, Elsa immediately thought of something unpleasant. Her anger surged so violently that she nearly suffered a stroke.
Realizing she couldn't handle him on her own, Elsa had turned to her friends for help.
After a lengthy discussion, two plans emerged:
1. Ask one of her friends—an elite-level seductress—to seduce Orsaga, then secretly record all his shameful behavior and present it to her mother to get him thrown out.
2. Send one of her MMA champion friends, along with some backup, to physically "persuade" him to leave—with their fists.
One soft approach, one hard. Both sides covered.
However, things didn't go quite as planned.
The seductress, originally intending to toy with Orsaga a bit, fell head over heels for him the moment she saw him. By the next morning, she was suffering from back strain and could barely crawl out of bed.
This left Elsa baffled.
Still, they managed to record everything and pass the footage to her mother.
Her mother had confronted Orsaga in tears, video in hand, demanding, "How could you do this?"
'Bet you didn't expect that, did you…' Elsa had thought proudly as she watched.
Despite the pain of seeing her friend try to rekindle things with Orsaga, Elsa had still put on a triumphant expression.
As her mother's voice trembled with fury, Elsa was already imagining calling security to toss both Orsaga and everything he touched out of the house.
But instead, Orsaga calmly stood up, wrapped his arm around Petra's slender waist, and said with complete composure, as if stating a universal truth:
"I like her. Is that a problem?"
"?"
Before Petra could respond, he kissed her right in front of Elsa.
Elsa was stunned. She rushed forward, intending to pull her mother away.
But before she could move, Orsaga had already let go, looked straight into Petra's eyes, and repeated in a flat tone:
"Is that a problem?"
Though phrased as a question, it carried the weight of a declaration.
In the end, under Orsaga's overbearing presence, Petra blushed and lowered her head.
With her daughter staring in disbelief, she replied softly:
"…No, it's not…"
Satisfied, Orsaga smiled and said:
"Good. Go make me a steak. Medium-well."
"…Okay."
Elsa, witnessing all this, felt her worldview collapse.
The look she gave Orsaga said it all:
"You actually said that out loud. Are you even human?!"
From that moment, Elsa understood just how shameless and vile Orsaga could be. His audacity was beyond her comprehension—like a abyss.
It was clear that talking wouldn't work anymore. Only force would.
Any hesitation she had about calling in backup disappeared entirely.
She contacted one of her admirers—or rather, one of the many guys hopelessly chasing after her—and had him gather his friends to give Orsaga a solid beating.
To teach him a lesson.
To show him that the future Countess Elsa is not to be trifled with.
The battle that followed was brutal. Elsa's admirer and his team of martial arts fanatics, some of whom were professional fighters, gave it their all.
Their assault was so intense that even the security personnel who arrived to break it up had to look away—they couldn't bear to watch.
By the next evening, the attackers finally woke up in intensive care.
And as for Orsaga?
Despite only having the strength of an ordinary man, he emerged completely unscathed.
The only real damage was to the house—he broke two metal chairs while using them to beat people down.
From that day on, Elsa was convinced:
Orsaga was no ordinary human. He was immune to both kindness and violence.
With that, she changed strategies again.
She secretly hired multiple private investigators to dig into Orsaga's background and find his weakness.
That day marked the third day since they had met.
The investigators had yet to return with anything.
But Orsaga's provocations had already resumed.
Absolutely intolerable!
Just as Orsaga was about to tease Elsa some more, he suddenly felt something odd stir inside him.
He stopped and turned to the TV.
On the screen, a gorgeous female presenter was reporting the news.
"This is BBC News."
"According to recent reports, the spaceship Horizon, the focal point of the mysterious 'Horizon Disappearance Incident' from the year 2040, has resurfaced near Neptune after a seven-year absence. The ship has been broadcasting distress signals for the past fifty days."
"Dr. William, the vessel's original designer, has joined a recovery team aboard the spacecraft Lewis and Clark and is en route to the location. They are expected to arrive within the next few days."
"We sincerely hope this long-unsolved mystery will soon find an answer."
"The Horizon Disappearance Incident?"
At the mention of that name, Orsaga's innate ability triggered a warning.
He could sense it clearly:
This was not good news.
