Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Mei's wrist was being gripped so tightly it hurt; it seemed like Kiana wanted to bully her too, not just Mei.

Guan Xing immediately sensed a new crisis and tried to back away, but bumped into the sofa.

Volume 1: Chapter 157 Bloodshed (Part 2)

Why do I feel so bad?

The mere thought of the word "give up" makes me extremely uneasy, and my heart is gripped with anxiety.

Mei is her best friend, and Ziyao is the person she likes; she can't let go of either of them.

Kiana hopes that Ziyao will choose between her and Mei, while also understanding the cruelty of that choice.

Now it's just her turn.

Should they give up, or continue competing with Mei?

The other party has already won the heart of the beauty, while she is still only at the level of kissing, and doesn't even dare to be open about it.

Frankly speaking, Mei might be braver than her.

Follow your heart, Kiana

What's wrong with that? Why insist on being confined by the self-imposed limitations of human beings?

Sirin stroked Kiana's cheek from the side, and taking advantage of Kiana's wavering mind, she began to instigate her.

Sirin had long been fed up with Kiana's awkward confession.

If it were her, Mei would never have won.

If you can't do it, then leave it to me...

The handover was so smooth that Kiana, due to her inner turmoil, didn't even realize that Sirin was gradually gaining control of her body.

By the time she realized it, Guan Xing had already been pinned to the ground.

“Servant, although you have changed your appearance, you are still as delicious as ever.”

After tearing off the silver thread, Xilin licked her upper lip, savoring the soft, cotton candy-like texture.

Guan Xing gave up resisting, closed his eyes, and simply chose to give up.

1+1 is greater than 2. If this continues, he will definitely lose his mind.

Even with level 3 mental strength, it might not be enough to withstand the attacks of the two Herrscher girls.

"Such opportunities are not uncommon, so accept them with gratitude. I will teach you a good lesson on what submission truly means."

"Rusting..."

A chill ran through his chest, and Guan Xing gritted his teeth; what would happen next was self-evident.

However, Sirin hesitated to make a move.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Kiana with red eyes.

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds..."

Putting herself in Ziyao's shoes, Kiana didn't dare let Ziyao make a choice, nor did she want to force her to.

At this moment, she really wanted to go with the flow, just like her younger, naive self, and simply follow her thoughts.

If I keep holding back, I feel like something inside me is about to break.

However, Kiana held back.

If that's the case, what happens next?

What kind of relationship do they have?

Ultimately, she chose to run away.

With willpower, break free from Sirin's control.

After helping Guanxing get dressed again, Kiana slowly stood up.

She is feeling very confused and finds it difficult to face Ziyao.

Upon seeing the girl, her heart clenched again.

It's a mess.

Like a tangled headphone cable, with intertwined branches that are hard to distinguish, it's impossible to untangle it no matter how hard you try.

She opened the door, took the elevator out of the hotel, and looked for a quiet place to cool off.

"Kiana, it's been so long..."

Bronya greeted them from downstairs.

Theresa is in charge of keeping an eye on Rita outside, and everyone will be able to reunite soon.

"..."

Kiana looked preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't hear a word Kiana said.

Ignoring Bronya's outstretched hand, the girl left the hotel.

Outside the hotel.

As the weather forecast predicted, tonight will be a blizzard.

The sight was obscured by swan feathers, and everything was tinged with white, blending in with its surroundings and becoming indistinguishable.

Trying to find something in a vast expanse of snow is unrealistic.

Volume 1: Chapter 158 Bloodshed (Part 3)

Jieting.

The lotus pond is frozen over, and the green leaves have withered.

The heavy snowfall blanketed the world in silver.

"There was someone following you suspiciously just now. He was quite short. Why didn't you make a move?"

The ceramic mug made a crisp sound as it touched the table after I put down the black tea.

"Lady Durandal, I am truly humbled by your high regard for Rita."

My thinking is simple: since she dared to go along, it means she must have been prepared.

"Take this opportunity and go with the flow, secretly install a tracking device on her."

Rita changed into a maid outfit. Compared to her regular clothes, this outfit was definitely more comfortable; otherwise, she felt like something was missing.

"Hmm, that makes sense. Rita is really smart."

"You're wrong. In fact, I should have taken action."

The tracker was discovered and removed shortly after it was installed, perhaps because the other party already knew about it the moment it was installed.

If we take action, there might actually be a chance of catching them.

"..."

Several files on suspicious individuals were placed on the table.

Zi, female, 18 years old.

The young lady of a subsidiary of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals rarely comes into contact with Tianming.

Nia, female, 17 years old.

An orphan from Siberia, who was eliminated in the Valkyrie selection...

These documents all share a common characteristic: the individuals are all recent arrivals from elsewhere, not locals.

Their suspicious behavior, coupled with what appeared to be counter-surveillance maneuvers, made Rita highly suspicious that their target, Kiana, was among them.

Ranked by suspicion level, Nia is first, followed by Yumian, and then Zi.

"Lady Durandal, our mission will be completed soon."

Rita took out a device that Otto had given her, capable of tracking Herrschers.

It's called tracking, but it's really just like a snake, sniffing out its scent to catch it.

The drawback is obvious: if the other party doesn't reveal any flaws, this device can't even be activated.

Unfortunately, just two hours earlier, the Herrscher of the Void used her power.

"From what you've said, it seems Kiana has an assistant."

After repeatedly reviewing the suspect's information, Durandal spoke up.

"That's right, she's very likely among these people."

Rita saw through Durandal's thoughts and said considerately, "Don't worry, I'm just setting a stage. When the time comes, you'll be the one to deal with the Herrscher."

"I really appreciate people who help me improve, but that doesn't mean I'm a battle maniac, Rita..."

"Hehe... I was just being presumptuous, sorry."

"Ah, I don't blame you. I just happened to have some ideas, since Fu Hua has disappeared."

"The bishop said that Lady Fu Hua is resting, and I haven't seen her for half a month."

Three months ago, due to a strange misunderstanding, Fu Hua encountered Durandal during an operation concerning the Tranquil Gem.

Durandal admires Fu Hua, especially her understanding of cultivation and martial arts, which has greatly benefited her.

When talking about Fu Hua, she thought of another girl associated with her.

"It's such a pity she's gone."

To be recognized by Fu Hua and to subdue a Lawyer without bloodshed is no small feat.

Durandal sighed, genuinely feeling regret.

If she had been able to unleash the full power of the Black Abyss White Flower back then, this wouldn't have happened.

"Sister Ziyao, Bronya is so happy that you're back."

Bronya put down the Hoomi doll and snuggled against Ziyao.
