Villainess Breaker: Raising Broken Beauties Against Destiny

Damian calmly walked out of the Golden Medicine Pavilion, and the moment he was outside, he turned and walked directly into a quieter street.

Only then did his face finally twist.

Damian stopped walking, leaned against a nearby wall, and slowly let out the breath he had been holding in. "Haaah..."

He raised one hand and rubbed his face, feeling his heart still beating a little faster than usual. "Damn... that woman is dangerous as hell."

Esmeralda was not like Violetta or Vulkara.

Violetta was emotional and wounded, while Vulkara was proud and rough, but Esmeralda was completely different.

That woman was calm, mature, intelligent, and clearly used to dealing with people.

Even while smiling gently, her eyes were always watching, judging, and calculating.

If Damian had acted too suspiciously, there was no doubt she would have noticed something wrong immediately.

Thinking about that, Damian sighed again before suddenly grinning. "Still... my acting is always the best."

He straightened his back and crossed his arms proudly, as if he had just won some great battle.

Although the conversation had been a bit risky, he had managed to keep his image stable, make himself look interesting, and even gift her something naturally.

More importantly, Esmeralda had accepted his gift, and now... it was time to see what kind of reward he would get.

"Come on, System. Let me see what kind of reward I got from that monster treasure chest."

As if responding to his expectation, the familiar screen appeared in front of him.

[Target: Esmeralda]

[Gift Given: Great Flame Sect Outer Disciple Acceptance Token]

[100× Critical Multiplier Activated]

[Reward Obtained: Heavenly Sword Sect Core Disciple Token]

---

The moment Damian saw it, his eyes widened instantly because he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. "The hell is this? She actually triggered a critical one... on the first gift?"

Damian didn’t even fully understand why, because the only thing he had done was talk with her and give her a token that was quite useless to her personally.

Although Damian knew that it could be used as a bargaining chip, a favor, or even a tool to recruit someone useful, it still shouldn’t have been enough to make her trigger a critical reward, right?

The more he thought about it, the more his head started to hurt, so in the end, he simply nodded.

"I see... it must be because my talking skills are really good. I even made her trigger a critical reaction regardless of the gift."

Damian quickly ignored it and soon turned toward the reward he had received. For a moment, he didn’t really understand what kind of reward it was.

The name alone already sounded far more impressive than the Great Flame Sect token he had given away, so it had to be something good.

He then immediately took out the token from his storage ring, and the moment he saw it, he was quite surprised.

Unlike the red flame token from before, this token was silver-white and cold, but not unpleasantly cold.

Its surface was smooth like polished jade, and a sharp sword symbol was carved into the center.

Even without injecting spiritual Qi into it, Damian could vaguely feel a faint sword intent hidden within.

Just holding it made Damian feel as if an invisible sword was quietly resting against his palm.

Then, as expected, another system description appeared.

---

[Heavenly Sword Sect Core Disciple Token]

[Grade: Special Inheritance Token]

[Description: A token left behind by Elder Selvara of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Long ago, a close friend saved her life, so she gave this token as repayment. Anyone recognized as that friend’s descendant, successor, or chosen heir can use it to directly become Elder Selvara’s core disciple.]

---

The moment Damian finished reading the description, he was shocked once again. "Core disciple... are you for real?"

His voice became a little louder without him realizing it, and he quickly checked around, making sure no one had heard him.

After confirming that the street was still quiet and empty, Damian looked back at the token and swallowed nervously.

"Damn... this thing can directly make someone a core disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

He naturally knew about the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even the previous owner of this body had heard about it before.

Unlike the Great Flame Sect, which was already considered powerful in this region, the Heavenly Sword Sect was on an even higher level.

It was a famous high-ranking sect known for sword cultivation.

Their disciples were terrifying fighters, and their true elites were often able to fight above their own realm.

For many cultivators, entering the Heavenly Sword Sect as even an outer disciple was already considered a massive opportunity.

But this token in his hand didn’t grant outer disciple status. It granted the chance to become a core disciple under Elder Selvara.

He didn’t know exactly how good core disciple status was in this world, but from the novels he often read, core disciples were usually among the highest-status disciples in a sect.

And more importantly, this wasn’t just any core disciple position, but one tied directly to Elder Selvara.

Damian didn’t know who Elder Selvara was, but anyone who could leave behind a token like this and allow someone to directly become her core disciple was definitely not ordinary.

Aside from that, judging from the name, Damian could be fairly sure that Elder Selvara was most likely a woman, and another thought appeared inside his head.

If someone like Esmeralda already had a 100× multiplier, then what about a powerful elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect? Just how high would Elder Selvara’s multiplier be?

Thinking about that, Damian’s heart immediately became restless.

Damian looked at the token in his hand and slowly began to grin. "Damn... Esmeralda, you’re really a monster treasure chest."

But after the excitement faded a little, Damian suddenly paused because he had just realized something about the token.

"Wait... then what the hell am I supposed to do with this thing? Do I need to personally go to the Heavenly Sword Sect or what?"

The more Damian thought about it, the more troublesome it sounded, because he didn’t even know where the Heavenly Sword Sect was.

He stared at the token for a while before rubbing his forehead. "Damn it... this reward is amazing, but why does it feel so troublesome to use?"

Just as he said that, the familiar system screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

---

[Usage Method: Crush the token.]

[After activation, the token will automatically transmit the holder’s aura to Elder Selvara.]

---

Damian read it and then sighed in relief. "I see. So I just need to crush it. If that’s the case, then it’s much easier than I thought."

Still, Damian did not crush it immediately.

After all, he was not stupid enough to suddenly contact some powerful Heavenly Sword Sect elder without preparing anything first.

Damian slowly placed the token back into his storage ring and grinned faintly. "I’ll keep it for now. When the time is right, I’ll use it."

After saying that, he finally turned around and walked back toward the main street, his mood much better than before.
