Chapter 62: Plunder
“Luckily, she isn’t fixating on me anymore; instead, she has shown a strong interest in that guy named Ning Xi. You took her away, which means you’ve stirred up a portion of trouble.”
After hearing Mi Xian’s account, Sumu couldn’t help but feel a phantom pain in her backside.
It seems that Moti Si truly showed mercy back then.
However, it sounds like Edema’s resentment will be hard to quell, and she may even recklessly choose revenge.
The urgent task at hand is to quickly call back Moti Si, who can block this person.
“When is she planning to attack? Keep scouting and report back; if there’s useful information, the benefits will be substantial.”
Upon hearing this, Mi Xian smiled brightly and gradually blended into the shadows behind the door.
“Since that magical girl named Moti Si isn’t here right now, Edema will definitely look for her first and won’t act hastily. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.”
Watching the last drop of dark color disappear from the puddle on the ground, Sumu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
What a useful ability.
As long as it’s “darkness,” one can blend in. Does the darkness in a person’s heart count?
“Hey, that’s a possibility.”
Irina has revived, and she sounds very cheerful now.
“Of course, after all, I just successfully took possession of a big fat sheep full of magic power. That guy is still shouting about wanting to take revenge on me.”
That sounds bad.
“Don’t worry; those who have said similar harsh words to me are now all very obedient~”
Obedient… what a terrible description.
“You’ll understand, but Edema will be trickier to deal with.”
No need to tell me; I already know. So you can’t deal with her?
“If I could, I would have caught that arrogant little dragon long ago. Unfortunately, we still have to avoid the limelight for now.”
Hearing this, Sumu felt a bit disappointed. After thinking for a moment, she pushed the door open and peeked outside.
No one. Withdraw.
At this point, the best course of action is to let Moti Si handle the trouble she has caused herself.
Didn’t Mi Xian say she had destroyed that guy’s XP system and reinstalled it? Let’s do it again and tame her properly.
Still, I should ask Tang Nai first and casually inquire about my own matters.
With the situation urgent, Sumu couldn’t care less about the physical test and decisively chose to run away.
I have pressing matters at hand; any extra trouble should be handled by that dead rabbit.
Also, let’s change my identity to that of a girl.
“Hey, little Sumu has finally woken up.”
Wake up my head! This is all a temporary measure; at least I’m sure I won’t fall in love with men like other girls.
“Luo Jialan is also a girl, yet she has caught your ‘squeeze’ too, hasn’t she?”
Hmph! Doesn’t that just prove my masculine charm?
“Hehe, I bet you’ll be down below at that time.”
Then let’s bet! No, that sort of thing is too early to mention; I haven’t thought it through yet.
Irina counted the magic power in her storage device with delight while chuckling to herself.
As untruthful as ever, but I don’t have the right to say anything.
On the other side, Luo Jialan, who hadn’t seen Sumu on the sports field for a long time, was engulfed in confusion.
Could this guy be deliberately avoiding me?
————————————
In the most bustling core area of City B, at a crossroad surrounded by towering skyscrapers.
Most pedestrians hurried past, dressed uniformly, barely noticing the golden-haired girl beside them.
Edema hated this feeling of being ignored, but the pressure she felt had already been taken away by that hateful woman.
“Hey, come here.”
After glancing around, Edema finally found someone who noticed her.
It was a young policeman.
Hearing Edema’s childish voice, after much consideration, the policeman approached and asked:
“Little girl, where’s your mother?”
“Mind your own business.”
Edema narrowed her eyes slightly. Her crimson vertical pupils looked especially authoritative, and her voice sharpened.
But this was the self she imagined.
“Ah, still a brat; really troublesome.”
Listening to the policeman’s thoughtless comment, Edema felt a surge of anger, involuntarily letting out a low growl from her throat.
She looked adorably fierce, resembling a little cat huffing.
“Forget it, just tell me where the best bank nearby is, and I’ll forgive your rudeness.”
Edema was very aware that her appearance held no intimidating aura; she had completely understood this during the three days she was tied up like a dumpling and thrown into a bathtub by her unfortunate subordinates.
So, ignorance is no crime.
The former Edema might have lashed out in anger, but now she was different.
After the core representing “dragon” was tainted, Edema’s strength diminished significantly, dropping to Level B, losing the qualifications to be Monster King to her then-rival.
Helpless, she could only endure and bide her time, but this very reason allowed her to come across another concept besides “dragon” not long ago.
—King.
Now, she is King Edema Dragon, a terrifying figure with a notorious reputation even on the borders of the Dream World.
However, sadly, her size did not match her fame, and she couldn’t return to her original form, which is also why she was so bent on revenge against Moti Si.
Knowing that this ordinary person wouldn’t take her seriously, Edema tapped into a bit of her magic power, releasing her dragon’s might.
In an instant, everyone around turned pale, their legs trembling involuntarily, completely paralyzed in place and too scared to move.
The policeman standing the closest to the center of the pressure found his mental defenses shattered in an instant.
The once childish golden-haired girl image suddenly towered above him, looming like a mountain, continuously pressing down on his psyche, making it hard for him to breathe.
It wasn’t that the other party had actually grown taller, but rather that he was subconsciously bowing to her in his heart.
The only thought left was to answer her questions truthfully, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
“It’s over there…”
“Good.”
Only after Edema’s aura completely dissipated and her figure vanished into the unknown did he realize he had regained his senses.
What just happened? Was that an illusion?
But the cold sweat now flowing from him like a flood reminded him that he had just escaped a disaster.
Close call; that guy must be a monster. I need to report this immediately…
Ah, no, wait! I’m a police officer.
Combat Department, there are monsters here!
By the time Miti sensed the strong magical power surge and rushed over, the bank’s vault had already been completely plundered.
That titanium alloy door, at least a meter thick, was mangled like a crumpled piece of paper, with metal fragments scattered all over the ground.
Not a single bill had been touched, while the gold bars had all vanished.
The staff were so scared they were stunned, collapsed on the ground, and unable to speak.
Miti gently rubbed her finger against the hot metal edge, drawing a conclusion.
Level B and above monsters had begun to reemerge, just a year later.
