The System ordered me to humiliate the impoverished villain. But I’m a total coward. I could only tremble as I dropped a chicken drumstick from my bowl into his. "I... I licked this! Now you have to eat it!" The villain, whose eyes were originally filled with gloom, paused. I thought I had succeeded in degrading him. Later, when I found out his mom was hospitalized and he needed money, I tried to escalate the bullying. I threw a black card at him. "Get on your knees. Be my dog, and lick my shoes clean!" His eyes darkened. He crouched down, gripped my ankle, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "Okay." Later, the System came to check on my progress as a vicious antagonist. I excitedly slapped the villain across the face. He looked at me with restrained endurance, his voice husky. I bragged to the System, "See? He’s totally humiliated!" The System sneered. "You idiot! He’s getting off on it." Huh? While I stood there stunned, I felt a wet, tingling sensation on my fingertips where I’d touched him. 1. I’ve been in this book for a month. And I’m still a wimp. The System was losing its mind: 【Seriously, what are you waiting for? You’re the spoiled heiress! Are you scared of a scholarship student?】 【Go! Humiliate him! Show him the cruelty of society!】 I cowered. "H-how do I bully him?" Before I transmigrated, I was a good girl. I didn’t know how to be mean. Plus, I was terrified. Jax, the villain, had muscles that looked like they were carved from granite. I heard he fought in underground cages for cash. One swing of his arm and I’d be paste. Right now, he was eating quietly in the cafeteria. On his tray, there was only a dry bun and some free pickles. The System urged me: 【Stop stalling! Go flip his tray and make him lick the floor!】 I took a deep breath, grabbed my lavish lunch tray, and marched over to Jax. He looked up. He stared at me expressionlessly, then went back to eating his bun. I shouted his name ferociously, "Jax!" He lifted his eyelids, raising a brow. He didn’t speak. He just looked at me. The pressure was suffocating. My hand shook as I used my chopsticks to drop a chicken drumstick—one I’d already taken a bite of—into his bowl. "It’s got my saliva on it. You have to eat it!" I felt like a monster. Making the future villain eat my leftovers? That’s peak humiliation. Guilty, I met his gaze. "What are you looking at? I hate you! I don't want this anymore, so you lick it clean!" The cafeteria went silent. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up because I saw Jax’s knuckles turn white. I went too far. The next second, Jax reached out. I flinched, expecting a punch. Instead, he deliberately picked up the chicken leg. Under my shocked gaze, he bit down exactly where my teeth marks were. "..." "You... why did you eat it?" His throat moved as he swallowed, the action making my cheeks burn for some reason. "Isn't that what the Princess wanted?" This reaction was completely off-script. I opened my mouth, but my rehearsed insults died in my throat. "You... you..." He narrowed his eyes, wiped his hands, stood up, and leaned close to my ear. "Did you want to watch me lick it clean, Princess?" "...Who wants to watch that!" I covered my burning ears, shoved him away, and ran out of the cafeteria. The System was speechless: 【Why are you running? You look like the victim here.】 【New plot point incoming. His mom is sick. Go throw money at him and make him your dog!】 2. I gritted my teeth and had the butler withdraw a bag of cash. Dressed in designer clothes, I arrived at Jax’s home. It was in the projects, a run-down apartment complex. I raised my hand to knock, but the door opened from the inside. The System scoffed: 【Why are you so polite? Kick the door open! It looks like you're here to deliver a care package.】 Jax looked pale. He froze when he saw me. Hearing the System’s nagging, I gathered my courage. "I heard your mom needs $50,000 for surgery, I..." Jax cut me off with a glare. "You investigated me?" I was so scared I forgot my lines. The System screamed in my brain: 【Throw the money in his face! Humiliate him!】 I mentally hyped myself up. Then, I smashed the bag of money against his chest. Bills scattered everywhere, some drifting into the apartment. "So what? Kneel and pick it up!" My voice trembled. "Be my dog, and this money is yours to save your mom!" Jax stood motionless, his jawline tight. The hallway was terrifyingly quiet, save for his heavy breathing. Suddenly, a weak cough came from inside the room. Jax stiffened. The storm in his eyes vanished, replaced by a dead calm. He slowly crouched down, one knee touching the floor. His long fingers picked up the bills one by one. This man, who beat opponents into submission in the ring, kept his head down and said in a terrifyingly calm voice: "Okay." The System cheered: 【He’s definitely feeling the ultimate shame right now. He pretends to agree, but he probably wants to kill you.】 I decided to press my advantage. I extended my foot. "This dirty hallway ruined my shoes." "Lick... I mean, wipe them clean." Jax looked up. His eyes were dark abysses. "Chloe, do you know what you're doing?" 3. It was the first time he called me by my name. My heart skipped a beat. In the original book, the villain held grudges like no other. Once he got power, everyone who wronged him suffered. And I was top of the list. I wanted to cry. "Boohoo, I'm scared." Why did I poke the bear? I’m dead meat! The System cursed: 【I just praised you, and now you’re wimping out?】 【Once the plot is done, you leave this world. When he gets powerful, you won’t even be here. Be fiercer!】 Oh, right. I inflated instantly, deliberately tapping his knee with the toe of my shoe. "Who allowed you to speak to me like that?" "Jax, do you want to save your mom or not?" "I return disobedient dogs!" Jax closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing violently. He looked like he wanted to crush me. If he crushes me, I’ll just be flat Chloe. A moment later, he dropped to one knee. I stepped back in fear, but he grabbed my ankle. His palm was hot and dry, sending a shiver through me. "W-what are you doing?" I tried to pull back, but his grip tightened. "Didn't the Princess want her shoes cleaned? Why are you hiding?" The corner of his mouth hooked up. He lifted the hem of his tank top, revealing sharply defined abs. My eyes widened as I watched him use his own shirt to gently wipe the tip of my shoe. He was so close I could smell the faint scent of soap on him. I could even see the outline of... muscles under his gray sweatpants. My face was burning. The skin on my ankle where he held me felt like it was on fire. "Your dress got dirty too." Jax’s voice was low and raspy. His fingers grazed my calf. "Do you need me to take it off and wash it for you, Princess?" "N-no!" I panicked, threw a debit card on the ground, and shook him off. "Who said you could talk? Get to my house!" "My dog lives with me. On call, 24/7." Then, I ran for my life. 4. Back in my room, I buried my face in my pillow. The System spoke up: 【Critical plot point passed successfully.】 【That confident exit was very cool.】 Is it possible I was just running fast because I was terrified? 【By the way, I picked up a side gig. You’re on your own for a bit. Remember, boss him around and humiliate him!】 "Okay." The System vanished. At midnight, I got thirsty and went downstairs barefoot for water. I bumped right into Jax. "Why are you here?" My butler had reported that Jax’s mom was settled in the VIP ward with a private nurse. Jax had stayed with her until 10 PM. Suddenly seeing him, I patted my chest. "Trying to scare me to death?" "Kneel and apologize!" After a day of this, I had mastered the art of being a brat. Jax’s eyes were dark, making him look scary in the dim light. I regretted it immediately and thought about just walking away. Suddenly, my feet left the ground. I lost my balance and clung to his neck for dear life. I grabbed his hair. "Pervert! How dare you touch me? I’ll punish you!" He set me down, but placed my feet on top of his own shoes. "The floor is cold," he rasped. I looked down. He was wearing the fluffy slippers I told the maid to buy for him. "How will you punish me, Princess?" His hot hands gripped my waist. The shame skyrocketed. I slapped him. "Bad dog! Don't touch me without permission!" Jax’s head turned to the side from the force of the slap. He ran his tongue over his teeth. A hint of gloom surfaced in his eyes. I thought, It's over. Then I saw blood on the other side of his face—old blood he hadn't washed off. "Why is your face injured?" My heart softened. I touched it gently. "Does it hurt?" Jax’s breath hitched. He clenched his fists. "Did you go fighting again?" He was silent. But he didn't stop moving. He scooped me up princess-style and carried me to the sofa. He even found socks for me. When he stood up, I pulled his shirt up. Bruises and scars covered his torso. "I gave you money. Why do you still do dangerous things?" He calmly pulled his shirt down. He looked at me. "Is the Princess heartbroken?" "I-I am not! Don't flatter yourself. I just want to play with my dog." "Only I can bully you. No one else." He swallowed hard. His gaze was obscure. It made my heart race. I stood up to avoid his eyes, threw the first-aid kit at him. "Heal up and serve me properly. If I see you injured again, I'm replacing you." As I walked upstairs, I heard his reply. "Understood." "The Princess can bully me as much as she wants."
