Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 593 Stolen Kiss
Previously on Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill...
Upon setting foot on the continent, Jack longed to reunite with Diana and yearned to track down Fiona as well.
With Vritra now deceased, she ought to have broken free from his hypnotic influence at last. She would genuinely comprehend his emotions and behold his tremendous power.
Regrettably, however, the moment he arrived at the palace, word reached him of the empress's sudden vanishing.
Jack pressed on with his hunt but failed to locate the goddess or Fiona, forcing him to linger in the capital.
Then the frigid catastrophe hit, compelling him to venture out for provisions, until one day a rift abruptly hurled him inside.
As his eyes fluttered open, he discovered himself within an subterranean legacy site brimming with valuables.
Naturally, having faced such situations countless times before, he didn't hesitate and began plundering right away.
Soon after, guards seized him for theft, revealing that it was the Ford family's vault.
The zombie girl and Raino accompanied him there too.
At present, the guards had seized all his glyphs by force, and then Onest employed his power to pilfer every item from his storage.
Even his private belongings were taken.
"Halt, you scoundrels, those are merely my garments!!" Jack yelled, since not a single piece of clothing escaped them.
"Did you check everything in there?" Vritra glanced at Rich and inquired.
"Yes, there's even more than what he took, should I give it back—" Rich began, but got cut off.
"No need, hold onto it all, consider it his payback."
Afterward, the guards and Rich departed, leaving behind Vritra, Onest, Shitless, plus three more.
"What in the world are you up to? M-My belongings!!" Jack gazed in a stupor as he got robbed in plain sight, then he shot a fierce look at Vritra.
Deep down, he felt a touch of astonishment at encountering someone so strikingly handsome.
"Who exactly are you? How do you recognize me—" Jack started to say, but halted abruptly as his eyes wandered to a nearby table.
And sitting there was his long-held infatuation, Fiona herself.
"F-Fiona? Could that truly be her?" He gawked at her in shock, noting how much more adult and refined she appeared.
Moreover, she looked far lovelier than in his memories, leaving him utterly stunned.
Yet spotting the stunning goddess next to Fiona confirmed he had indeed located both of them.
He swiftly scanned the other ladies and failed to identify Yasmine or Vanessa, while Teresa's features remained hidden.
Vanessa struck him as somewhat recognizable, but her transformation was so profound that he couldn't place her anymore.
Still, none of that counted, so he dashed toward the table without delay.
Vritra seemed mildly taken aback initially, but realizing Jack's destination, a sly grin formed on his lips.
Why pass up the chance to torment someone so desperately inviting it?
Halting before Fiona, Jack beamed widely and declared: "Fiona, I've finally located you!!"
Fiona, mid-conversation with the group, jolted in surprise, her frosty stare fixing on a man whose features rang a bell.
She pondered briefly but drew a blank, until noticing the poorly concealed tattoos, which jogged her memory.
"Jack?"
"I figured you'd recall me, haha, I've missed you terribly, how have you been? You've missed me as well, haven't you? I never had the chance to express it earlier, but I adore you deeply, and you?"
In a rush, he blurted out a string of words, his face alight with delight.
He even flung his arms wide, as though preparing to embrace her.
Vritra shook his head; this fool was practically pleading for death by ogling his spouse.
His form vanished, reappearing on a chair wedged between Fiona and Diana, a dark blade clutched in his grip that he thrust toward Jack.
"Huh?"
Abruptly sensing pressure against his neck, Jack froze in place, arms outstretched.
His eyes turned to Vritra.
"You again, what do you want this time? Scram, don't ruin our reunion." Jack bellowed in fury, attempting to shove the blade aside yet unable to shift it an inch.
"Oh, so you know her?" Vritra queried, poised to shatter his spirit once more.
"Naturally, I love her… and I'm certain she feels the same. Goddess, you remember me too, don't you? I'm the hero—thrilled to see me?" His eyes darted rapidly between Fiona and Diana.
Both women radiated exquisite beauty; Fiona was his initial sweetheart, though he harbored some affection for Diana as well.
Even so, this round he vowed to claim Fiona.
But at that instant, Onest approached and twisted his ear, yanking him back.
Vritra observed as Jack was hauled off; the spectacle was only starting.
"What the hell are you doing, ow ow, who the hell are you?!!" Jack roared in rage, his ear nearly ripped free.
"Oh, apologies, apologies, I mistook you for someone else." Onest laughed and released his ear, then strolled off.
Jack seethed with anger, nearly lunging at Onest, but Fiona took priority now.
His attention swung back to the table, only to find it empty.
"Huh? Where'd they disappear to? Was it all a hallucination?" Jack puzzled, even querying Raino who verified Fiona's presence.
"Over there, that's Fiona." Raino abruptly indicated a spot, stunned by her enhanced allure and poise.
Though still in her early twenties like them, she exuded such elegance already.
Jack whirled around eagerly, set to charge, but his frame locked up upon witnessing the sight.
Fiona stood on the dance platform amid swirling pairs.
And shockingly, she waltzed with that detestable fellow from before; Jack's chest tightened painfully at their intimacy.
"No way, that jerk—I'm going to end him!!" Jack fumed intensely, cheeks flushing crimson.
Meanwhile, Vritra clasped Fiona's hand, his free palm on her waist, as they swayed gently to the music.
Their forms clung close, faces mere inches apart.
"Hehe, darling, you're quite the tease, clearly enjoying stirring envy and crushing hopes."
Fiona murmured tenderly, aware of Vritra's scheme, so she pressed nearer, molding her body to his.
"His fault for coveting my wife; this is merely the beginning." Vritra replied grinning, then dipped his head, their visages nearing perilously.
From afar, Jack nearly blacked out, unleashing a soul-crushing cry.
How could he endure watching some stranger kiss his dream girl, the one he'd cherished for ages?
Seeing their lips approach felt like a dagger to his core; Jack bolted forward desperately to intervene.
He couldn't fathom why Fiona, his ideal woman, would share such a moment with a nobody.
"Exactly, he must've ensnared her with hypnosis or similar; I need to rescue her!!" Jack howled while charging ahead, unwilling to let his destined love be sullied by another.
Yet out of nowhere, a blow struck his skull, toppling him.
Jack had no moment to lose, scrambling up as his sight fixed on the dance area.
But alas, it was far too late; before his eyes, their mouths joined in a tender kiss.
As their lips softly intertwined, Vritra cast a glance Jack's way.
Fiona simply shut her eyes, indifferent to Jack, savoring the kiss with her beloved.
