Happy Evil Heartbreaker [Modern LitRPG]

At the moment of his "near-death," he heard from Dionysius's mouth the name "Susan," which sounded familiar to him.

She was also an exceptionally outstanding figure among the third generation of the Papadopoulos familia. Her mother was Maria La Papadopoulos, and her father was Gabriel El Mugabe, a congressman who married into the Papadopoulos familia, originally a prosecutor who later rose swiftly through the ranks.

Susan was Maria La Papadopoulos's youngest daughter, only a year older than Xanthia La Papadopoulos, with an elder brother three years her senior, Sumandro El Papadopoulos.

From a young age, Susan displayed remarkable intelligence and unparalleled beauty, with a strong and somewhat stubborn personality, deeply favored by Maria. Her mother's attention towards her far exceeded that towards her mediocre son, Sumandro.

In other words, Susan was Xanthia's cousin, and indeed, there was a certain resemblance between their appearances.

Clearly, Susan only acknowledged Xanthia as her younger sister.

Due to becoming close friends with Dionysius later on, Dematero also became quite knowledgeable about the Papadopoulos familia's messy internal affairs.

What left a deep impression on him was the rumors circulating as Dionysius gained more and more favor from Nikos El Papadopoulos. It was said that Dionysius was not Demetrios's biological son at all, but rather the illegitimate child of his mother, Eleanor La Liam, conceived through relations with other men.

Rumors about the identity of the man were varied; some claimed he was a member of an idol boy group who tragically died. The location of his death was none other than a villa owned by Demetrios. That night they were partying, and Demetrios turned out to be the murderer, although the idol's death was ultimately attributed to a sudden bout of depression. That's just how the business tycoons played.

There were also claims that his father was an elite doctor from a famous private hospital under the Papadopoulos group. To ensure his son Dionysius's eligibility to inherit the familia's legacy, he meticulously forged a paternity test.

What was even more chilling was that this elite doctor coincidentally died in a car accident.

As Demetrios always staunchly supported his son, he angrily denounced the rumors circulating in the streets as malicious. They even slandered Dionysius as the "patricide" of Demetrios. How insane and heartless it was for human nature to stoop to such a level just for the struggle for inheritance!

Eleanor La Liam seemed quite guilty, perhaps due to her promiscuous behavior. However, since the paternity test was valid, it confirmed that Demetrios was indeed the father. There was no problem with that, was there? Some things should remain superficial...

Nikos El Papadopoulos obviously did not believe these groundless rumors. Moreover, compared to blood ties, he valued the abilities of the younger generation more. His wife, Nias, was conservative and absolutely opposed to such deception. No matter how capable Dionysius was, he would never gain her approval.

In fact, Eleanor's status as his daughter-in-law made Nias deeply disgusted. She genuinely rejected the idea of having such a person's son take over the Papadopoulos familia.

Of course, Dematero did not dare to gossip about such dangerous secrets of the said powerful familia. His relationship with Dionysius was purely that of "gentlemanly friends," with no significant business ties. At most, when publishing the biography, Dionysius provided considerable support behind the scenes. After all, Dematero had already fallen out with his original publisher.

However, some people always regarded him as Dionysius's "strategic adviser," "chief of staff," or "official writer," always feeling as if he were a figure similar to William Shakespeare. In reality, he was just a stinky writer...

Susan even tried to recruit him privately, but of course, he rejected her.

Even if Susan was beautiful and somewhat resembled Xanthia, in his eyes, the most beautiful was still Xanthia La Papadopoulos. Especially in the later stages of her growth, Xanthia became astonishingly stunning and flawless, far surpassing Susan, whose looks were top-notch but still inferior to Xanthia's, even in world of fashionistas!

This wasn't just Dematero's personal perspective, it was objectively true. No one could have imagined that Xanthia, who was merely fair-looking during high school, would grow into such a stunningly talented and perfect being in the future.

Memories swirled chaotically in his mind, and Dematero finally opened his eyes.

For a moment, he didn't know where he was. He only saw the setting sun and the distant evening glow, which intoxicated him with its beauty. Lowering his gaze, he saw a bustling playground filled with youthful vigor.

'Th-this... wasn't it?'

Thessaloniki First High School, where he had dreamed countless times of returning during his agonizing future?

Indeed, at this time node, it was his most regrettable moment—

Why did he fall into such darkness after his first love failed, disappointing his parents, teachers, and friends? He not only harmed himself but also indirectly implicated that perfect girl he never got the chance to apologize to.

The location where he currently found himself was clearly the grandstand west of the main playground... Could it be that he was dreaming again?

Or was it that, on the brink of death, his life's memories would pass before his eyes like a fleeting glimpse, reliving everything once more.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be so bad. He could see her face again, hear her voice once more.

Xanthia had finished playing "Accidentally In Love," but Dematero remained dazed where he stood, his gaze unfocused. She wondered if the one-time use system item had hit him too hard, almost stupefying him.

However, she had genuinely accumulated a substantial amount of "pain points," enough to exchange for the "Malicious Notebook" in one go.

In addition to that, the challenge task "Battle of the White Moonlight" had smoothly been completed during her performance. Not only did she gain the term "White Moonlight," but she also received a special reward—a humanoid summon, Dematero.

The term "White Moonlight" comes from China and was popularized by immigrant chinese students and then many young teens online uses it. And soon added as a word in Oxford dictionary.

[ White Moonlight ]

This attribute was quite precious and rare for a girl to have.

The longer it remained activated, the more it subtly enhanced one's charisma. Over time, it could even induce the effect of "love at first sight," easily captivating hearts!

Just like when Elena had casually glanced at him a few times while fetching water at the water dispenser and walking back to her seat, it was unreasonable for him to be deeply ensnared.

However, "White Moonlight" was just that unreasonable!

"Hey, Dematero! Are you asleep? So my rendition of 'Accidentally In Love' is that hypnotizing, huh... Looks like I really have no talent for singing after all," Xanthia couldn't help but speak out upon seeing Dematero still lost in thought. She was genuinely concerned that the system item's aftereffects might have mentally overwhelmed him.
