Villain: Transmigrated Into A NTR Manga As The Antagonist
Chapter 389 - 389: Rolling a 20 on Charisma in the Final Hour!Margaret was smart, smarter than she thought Alex gave her credit for. Frankly, she thought the boy was a damn fool for allowing her to keep the vial, and she even managed to pass it off to her bodyguard before he was dismissed, to go and get it analyzed.
Of course, despite being a meat head playboy when he entered this world, Alex had quickly grown as a result of the system, and sure his abilities were gone, but the growth of his “base attributes” wasn’t gone either.
The clock was ticking, and he frankly didn’t have much time left to win the heart of the mature beauty by his side, or the mother of the princess he had stolen, and the prince he had killed.
So he had to shoot his shot while he had the chance, escorting the “lady” into the venue under the guise of being her security guard. He took some liberties to get close and whisper something in her ear that caught her off guard.
“You don’t seriously believe that I gave you the real drug did you? No, what’s in that little vial is baking soda. I’ll give you a hint about what I inflicted us both with, if you’re willing to do something for me?”
The woman wasn’t entirely shocked that Alex had used a decoy in the vial, but she was surprised enough that her affection rating immediately increased with Alex. Which only caused him to smirk.
—
[Margaret is impressed that you’re actually intelligent enough to give her a vial with a fake substance!]
[+10 affection]
[Affection 10/100]
—
Intrigued enough by Alex’s move, and the fact that he had already proven himself more capable than she initially thought, Margaret could not help but give into his interrogation, and was quick to oblige his request.
“So long as it is nothing too reasonable, I will allow this one favor. Ask of me what you desire…”
She thought for sure that Alex was going to try to request something perverted which she would be quick to shoot down, but his response only further ensnared her attention.
Alex grinned as he raised three fingers in front of the woman with a playful expression on his face as he did so.
“I want three questions, and I want you to answer them with the truth and nothing but the whole truth. Is that fair?”
The woman couldn’t help herself from smirking as she grabbed a glass of champagne off the plate of a nearby palace staff who was serving the Ruler of Oman’s guests whom he had gathered for an important announcement.
And as she was quick to relent under one condition of her own.
“So long as they are tasteful, and within my boundaries I see no reason not to.”
Seeing as how he had gained permission, Alex was quick to ask the first question on his mind.
“Alright, Miss Rockefeler, I don’t have much time, so allow me to be blunt… Do you actually love your husband, or are you married simply for appearances, political and financial reasons?”
The graceful and elegant beauty damn near choked on her drink, as she tried her best to compose herself, she had been caught by a rather bold question, but even so, she was easily quite pissed at her husband at the moment, and was rather proud of the man’s bold and daring nature standing across from her.
—
[Margaret likes your spirit, and hail marry personality!]
[+25 affection!]
[Margaret’s Affection: 35/100]

Knowing that he had done the right thing to win approval, Alex simply waited for the honest answer he desired, and though she didn’t outright admit it she said enough to fulfill the man’s request for honest answer.
“You’re a smart man, far more than I ever gave you credit for, so do you really need me to confirm what you already know? I’ll consider that one question answered to satisfaction, so ask again.”
Alex emboldened by his success so far, and the countdown timer in his peripheral vision quickly closed the distance so that the space between them was far more intimate as he posed the next question without the slightest hesitation.
“So, considering you seem to like this side of my personality, forgive me for taking this too far, but you have to understand… I am running out of time, and whether or not I succeed here will determine if I live to see the sunrise…
Miss Rockefeller, or would it be too imposing if I called you Margaret? If we weren’t posed to be enemies, here and now… Would I have been able to win your heart had I been given the time to pursue it?”
It was not exactly an exaggeration to say
That Alex had easily struck an accord with the woman, he had done so in the most absurd way possible. But from the way he talked there was something wistful and longing in his tone, as if he was actually saddened he hadn’t had the proper time to pursue her hand as a gentleman and not a common rake.
She didn’t exactly answer the question the way Alex wanted to, but managed to do so nonetheless as she realized something instantly, this gambit of his, it was his last chance; she didn’t know how, but it was unrelated to the nonsense between him and the omani royal family, and when the mature beauty realized this her mouth dropped as she voiced her genuine concern loud enough for Alex to consider it an answer.
“You’re dying aren’t you… And from the sounds of it you don’t have very long?”
Alex couldn’t help but wear a bitter smile as he looked out towards the setting sun in the west, an almost painful smirk that was bitter and resentful as he expressed his honest thoughts then and there.
“Like I said, if I fail here tonight I won’t live to see the sunrise with the dawn… And that is truly a pity, as I don’t want to leave this world behind, not after everything… The good, the bad… But that’s not your concern, the fact that you seem to care enough to be shocked answers my second question.
So allow me to ask my final question, albeit it’s more of a request than anything, if you don’t mind that is?”
—
[Margaret is beginning to change her bias towards you from a young, and stupid fool pursuing frivolous woman, to a man who knows he is dying and is trying to do the best with the time he has left.]
[+40 Affection!]
[Margaret’s Affection: 75/100]
—
Alex was a little surprised by the sudden surge in affection, but was perhaps even Moreso by the answer the woman gave him, which was in the most obviously tsundere way possible.
“I won’t make any promises… But if I just so happen to be able to fulfill your request, then I don’t see why not?”
This caused an almost relieved smile to form on the young man’s face as he asked his final question, and when he did so, he had succeeded in his initial attempts at seduction without even trying, showing why Charisma was the most overpowered attribute of all as he did so.
“I want you to find my family and tell them that I’m sorry I let them down, and that even though I’m gone, they will be taken care of for the rest of their lives with what I leave behind for them…”
The next screen the system gave him was absurd, and even Alex thought so. As it was almost taunting him with the absurdity of a statement it had never made before.
—
[Congratulations you have rolled a 20, critical success in charisma and seduction! Margaret who has only ever wanted a man who actually cared about her and family, has fallen head over heels with the sincerity you have displayed, believing your last thoughts are of your loved ones and not yourself!]
[+125 Charisma!]
[Margaret’s Affection 200/200!]
Alex stood in astonishment as the woman in front of him transformed into a divine tier beauty right before his own eyes, and he could damn well see the hearts for in her pupils as she basically agreed to be his and only his on the spot.
“Whatever you ask of me I will do it… And I mean whatever….”
Alex didn’t know if the system was giving him a boon and an easy win as the countdown began to get dire, or if he had really just hit the right buttons to force this woman to reach the maximum affection possible in a single conversation.
Either way, Alex didn’t care. instead he grabbed the woman’s hand and whispered something unthinkably scandalous in her ears.
“Let’s go wait for the Queen of Oman in her bed…”
And just like that, Alex went to play with his newest conquest while waiting for the final target to reveal herself. All the while the Queen of Hearts looked on from the background, with a group of faceless beings like herself, snacking on popcorn, while bragging about Alex to those she had always silently hinted were running things, whoever they may be.
“See, what did I tell you? He’s a natural! Nobody quite knows how to conquer a bitch’s heart quite like my man!”
Only judgmental gazes were cast towards the Queen’s direction as she flushed red in embarrassment and lowered her head in silence as she realized what she had said, and what it meant in the grand scheme of things…
