In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

"I'm making cookies for my mother."

"Making cookies for your mother?" Madam Su chuckled. "Doesn't your mother know that your powers are sealed? If she did, you probably wouldn't be in the mood to make cookies for her right now, unless..."

“If she eats it, she will fall into a deep sleep,” Adaline said coldly. “She and Sean Leonard already know that you sealed my power. They are very unhappy that I contacted you without permission, and are even worried that it will affect your cooperation.”

“You’re right, they abandoned me. That’s why I’m seeking revenge. As long as my mother is asleep, Sean Leonard will lose an important ally. He’ll have to find a way to break the seal on me and restore my power!”

“That sounds reasonable,” Su said with a smile.

He didn't believe a word of Adaline's explanation. If he remembered correctly, the cookie spell was meant to make someone fall in love with her, not to put them to sleep.

In the TV series, Adalyn's revenge on Sean Leonard is to turn Juliet Hill into Sleeping Beauty, putting her into a deep sleep. Nick will be anxious and worried about Juliet Hill, and Sean Leonard will lose control of Nick.

So the cookies she's making now can neither put people to sleep nor are they for her mother. ... Of course, the way a spell is cast isn't fixed, so it's not impossible to put someone to sleep with cookies, but Adaline definitely has her own habits and wouldn't change the method of casting a spell just because she knows the plot.

So, who is this cookie, which will make the other person fall in love with her, prepared for?

The person she hates most right now is probably herself, since she sealed her power. Next is probably Sean Leonard and her mother, but they are very knowledgeable about spells and it's unlikely they'll fall for them easily. Besides, even if they did, it wouldn't do her much good, since what she needs most right now is to reclaim her power.

Currently, only I can break the seal, so... isn't it obvious who the cookie is meant for? If I eat the cookie and fall madly in love with her, she will use that to get me to break the seal, and then as long as she has relations with me, I will be killed by this spell.

She regained her power, took revenge on herself, and ruined her cooperation with Sean Leonard, making him regret it. Killing three birds with one stone, this is the kind of thing Adalyn would do.

As for the possibility of being killed by herself after the truth is exposed? Su felt that Aida Ling, who had lost her power and been abandoned, didn't care about such things at all. Although she wouldn't willingly die, she probably wouldn't be afraid of death if she were discovered. After all, she seemed to have nothing to lose and nothing to care about now, including her life.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?" Su suddenly asked Aidaling with a smile.

Ada Lin shook her head: "No, I don't know. Perhaps... perhaps I still have value to you?"

"Yes, you still have value, but your value is no greater than my forgiveness. Now tell me, what are you doing?"

“I…I’m making cookies, it’s…it’s for Green. It won’t make Green fall asleep, but…it will make Green fall in love with me.” Under Su’s seemingly nonchalant gaze, Ada Ling couldn’t help but reveal her true purpose.

"Prepared for Green?" Su was taken aback. It was prepared for Nick, not for herself?

Chapter 202 Royal Treasure and Murder for Money?

This was the second time Su had misjudged Adaline. The last time, he thought Adaline was sent by Sean Leonard to approach him, but it turned out that Adaline had acted on her own initiative.

This time, he thought the cookies were prepared for him. After all, logically speaking, this result was definitely correct. He could have taken back his power directly by killing three birds with one stone, so there was no need to go through all that trouble.

But she deliberately went around in circles!

Instead of targeting himself, he chose Nick, with whom he has no connection so far?!

are you crazy?

Su was a little embarrassed. She flashed in front of her and read her memories to confirm whether she was lying. The result proved that she was not lying and that the cookies were indeed prepared for Nick.

Her reason for targeting Nick was indeed for revenge and to reclaim her power, but her logic differed from Sue's guess.

She wasn't seeking revenge on the Su family, the culprit, but on Sean Leonard.

14 To put it simply, Ada Ling felt that Sue was not wrong to seal her power. After all, she represented Sean Leonard and she was the one who took the initiative to approach her. Sue could have killed her or completely stripped her of her abilities, but Sue did not. She only sealed her power as a minor punishment.

But what Sean Leonard and her mother did was different; it was a betrayal!

Being betrayed by a stranger is completely different from being betrayed by your mother or someone you admire.

When love turns to hate, the hate is naturally stronger.

Although Sean Donald valued his cooperation with the Sue family, Adaline knew that Nick Green was more important to him. If he lost Green, if he didn't get the key, even if he gained control of the royal family with the Sue family's help, it would be useless.

Because the current royal family is in decline and its power is waning, they desperately want to find the seven keys held by the Green families. These seven keys contain maps; once all the maps are collected, a treasure will be revealed, allowing the royal family to regain its former glory.

Legend has it that only Green can open the treasure.

So whether it's for the key or the treasure, Sean Donald must keep Nick under his control.

Ada Ling believed that if she could make Nick fall in love with her, she could get the key. Then she could use the key and Nick to get Sean Donald to come to the Su family to remove the seal on her, while also affecting his cooperation with the Su family.

This idea, or rather this plan, is not wrong, especially from Ada Ling's perspective and feelings, it is more reasonable than directly targeting the Su family.

The only reason Su didn't expect her to think this way was that she... was afraid of him! Or rather, the impression of his 'bad temper' was too deep for her.

His power was sealed just by striking up a conversation with her. If he really attacked the Su family, he would definitely be dead.

Her mother said she was an outsider, and she accepted that assessment. Without knowing what methods and abilities the Su family had, and out of fear of the Su family, it was perfectly reasonable for Adaline to choose Sean Leonard, whom she knew better, as her target for revenge.

Ms. Su originally did not have a good impression of Aida Ling, which was related to her performance in the TV series, but two wrong guesses made Ms. Su have a different opinion of her.

Although it was a bit awkward, it also surprised Su. After all, knowing the plot in advance is equivalent to spoiling the story, and it's easy to lose the sense of novelty and anticipation when 'watching' it again.

And now, Aidalin has given the Su family something to look forward to.

He was really looking forward to seeing what Ada Ling would do and to what extent!

Of course, this surprise, anticipation, and even appreciation only applies to her actions and what she might do; nothing else has changed as a result.

"Do you think I'm the villain?" Su asked abruptly after releasing Aida Ling.

Ada Ling paused for a moment and then shook her head: "I, I don't think you are the villain. You are following your heart and your own principles."

Although I don't know why Su asked that question, I just need to flatter him. Anyway, it's never wrong to fawn over him and say nice things!

Su nodded: "Alright, although I really want to know what will happen after you let Nick eat the cookies, Nick is a good person. If I didn't know, I wouldn't have bothered. But now that I know, I'm a little embarrassed to pretend I didn't know."

There should be some bottom lines and principles in life. If you treat friends and enemies with the same ruthlessness and no bottom line, Su's values ​​cannot accept it.

"I understand, I will give up using this method." Although Ada Ling was somewhat unwilling, she dared not go against Su's wishes.

"You'd better watch yourself. I look forward to seeing how you do." Su said to Aidaling and prepared to leave, but Aidaling suddenly took a step forward.

"Please wait."

"Is there anything else?" Su asked Aida Ling.

Ada Lin nodded and said, "You... want money? A lot of money! And a beautiful woman, uh, or rather, a Vincent!"

"Why do you think I would be interested in these things? Do I look like I'm short of money? You should know Juliet Hill, right? Do you think I lack beautiful women?" Su asked, frowning.

Adaline quickly explained, "I didn't mean that, but... the more the better, right? No one will complain that there are too many."

“I know a Vison named Lucinda. Her adoptive mother’s family is very wealthy, and she only has her adoptive mother and two older sisters. If… I mean, if they all die, Lucinda can inherit this estate. I am a lawyer, and if Lucinda cooperates, I can transfer this money to your name through completely legal means.”

"And Lucinda is very beautiful."

"You mean you want me to murder for money?"

Su shook her head speechlessly, looking at Ada Ling and saying, "You still don't understand me. As long as I'm alive, as long as my heart is still beating, I will never worry about money. Wait... you don't actually think that all my money comes from Vison using similar methods, do you?"

“Of course not, how could I think that?” Ada Ling quickly shook her head.

Su pursed her lips: "No, your reaction tells me that's exactly what you think. I really... wanted to steal Vincent's money? I didn't charge them anything for helping them become human; I just had them work for me. How could I possibly want to steal their money?"

"I feel insulted!"

"Please forgive my ignorance!" Ada Ling dared not gamble on whether Madam Su was truly angry. She was merely trying to please Madam Su based on her own experience. What if her good intentions backfired? She definitely had to express her attitude first.

"You really are... always managing to give me unexpected ideas." Mrs. Su shook her head, too lazy to say anything more to Ada Ling.

Chapter 203 Cinderella and Nick's Unusual Behavior

Putting aside whether murder for money, or getting both the person and the money, aligns with Su's values, even if his values ​​were distorted and aligned with them, he would never do such a thing.

That's so low-class!

Even without the Godly Rich System, which grants him endless wealth, Su Shi could still find ways to make himself both rich and prestigious simply by having the Naruto System.

For a wealthy tycoon to do something like this, even if no one knows, would still feel ashamed and embarrassed!

Perhaps for a witch like Ada Ling, someone who walks the line between the supernatural and the dark, there's nothing wrong with this method of making money. They're all Grimm creatures, and they follow the laws of life in the Grimm world, so she's actually trying to please herself by saying this.

Therefore, Su only found it absurd, but was not angry.

He actually remembered Lucinda, whom Ada Ling mentioned; she must have been from the 'Cinderella' episode in the TV series.

The story of Cinderella is well-known, but in the world of Grimm, Cinderella is a bat-like monster. She is vain, greedy, and materialistic. She marries a rich and handsome "prince" and lives a life of luxury and wealth until her prince encounters an economic crisis, at which point she coldly turns her back on him.

Her adoptive mother and two older sisters were ordinary people. For the sake of the inheritance and to satisfy her desire to get what she wanted, she cruelly murdered her adoptive mother and sisters. This also involved her godfather, who was also a bat monster.

Su felt that this episode didn't really have anything in common with the Cinderella story; at most, the men were all very rich, and the women were quite beautiful.

Stories of people rising to prominence for money are common in reality, but Lucinda is too radical and cruel. Perhaps this is related to her being a Vison, since Vison is basically influenced by her own nature, but she can usually control herself.

Perhaps because he's seen too many Visen monsters lately, and most of them aren't particularly special, Su's interest in Lucinda the bat monster has waned, as has his interest in most Visen monsters. He might join in the fun if nothing else is going on, but if something comes up, he's fine with not seeing them.

Instead, Su is now more interested in the witch's spells. Based on his current understanding of witches, it seems that their abilities lie more in various spells than in their own power.

Just like now, Adaline's power has been sealed, but she can still release spells using materials and knowledge.

Su said that Ada Ling still has value. Her value lies in the spells and knowledge of these witches. It's not for her to learn or for anyone else to learn, but because she will definitely face off against other witches in the future. What if a witch casts a spell on herself or someone close to her?

You should at least have some understanding of it, right?

Currently, Adarin is still a useful character, and then there's the fox spirit Rosalie, who is almost the opposite of Adarin or the witch, representing the bright side. She is very good at breaking various spells, and it's also necessary to maintain a good relationship with her.

Originally intending to leave, Su changed her mind and stayed for the time being, asking Ada Ling about some things related to witch spells.

Ada Ling answered all her questions without hesitation. After all, one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof. Besides, the knowledge of spells is too complicated. Each spell has a special recipe, which not only requires various materials, but also requires precise proportions. It can be said that the difficulty of learning them is extremely high.

Su Shi didn't intend to learn it; she just recorded it so that her shadow clone could learn it in the future. It was simple, convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving—how wonderful!

Several hours passed before he knew it, and just as Su was immersed in the sea of ​​incantations, Nick's phone call pulled him out of it.

"The robbers are here! We've been attacked and are trapped in the basement." Besides Nick's urgent voice, the phone rang with the sounds of gunfire.

Are you Green, or a police officer? You knew the other party was coming, and then you were forced to ask me for help? I suspect you're just slacking off!

Su pursed her lips and instantly teleported to Nick's side.

Nick and Rosalie were hiding behind the shelves. Across from them, two gun-wielding lizard monsters were clearly high, exhibiting a hysterical and insane madness, and were firing wildly in their direction.

"call out--"

Su's figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Nick and Rosalie. Then, after glancing at the two robbers who were shooting wildly and without thinking, he didn't even bother to use his ninjutsu and just swaggered out of the shelf.

"Watch out!" Rosalie exclaimed in alarm, trying to stop Su Shi. But as soon as she reached out her hand, her eyes widened in horror. She saw a bullet hit Su Shi, but Su Shi's body had mysteriously turned into a paper doll, completely unharmed.

Step by step... Su walked towards the equally stunned robbers.
