"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes..."

Ark sighed and quickly recounted his experience, focusing on Emery's feat of killing an Ancient Dragon-level Shadow Dragon and her radiant golden right eye.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible... It doesn't make sense!"

Flora, however, was still unwilling to give up:

"Her golden right eye is most likely just the effect of some special magic. As for killing an Ancient Dragon-level Shadow Dragon, doesn't she have [Fatal Strike]? [Fatal Strike] has a proven track record of killing Archmages and Fusion-stage Mages multiple times, so killing another Ancient Dragon wouldn't be a big deal, right? Anyway, I don't believe she's really that powerful... Teacher, didn't you say that there's no cultivator in the entire Federation with higher talent than me?"

"Perhaps I misjudged the situation."

Yak's grandfather didn't care at all. Seeing his youngest apprentice still pouting and looking unconvinced, he laughed.

"So I'm going to give Flora a task... You don't believe me? Then go to Locke City and verify it for yourself. Deliver a letter for your master."

"Faith? What faith?"

Flora paused for a moment, then her eyes widened:

"Could it be that letter?"

"Of course, it's that letter."

Yak's grandfather's smile deepened, and he nodded:

“Emerite is already a Fusion stage mage and a member of the Melson family, so of course she is qualified to join the Lohid Club… Go and send her the invitation letter.”

"Woo-woo..."

Flora immediately covered her face, her lips twitching with jealousy.

The Lohid Club is the Lohid family's other most important family business besides the Magic Academy. In the Federation, this club is also known as the Fusion Stage Club—a club that only Fusion Stage powerhouses can join.

The club functions somewhat like an adventurer's tavern in a fantasy novel. It's a place where powerful individuals in the Federation's fusion phase exchange information and trade priceless items. They can also post bounties and accept commissions here.

It was an organization Flora had always dreamed of joining, but now she had to deliver an invitation to a girl even younger than herself. Of course, she felt even more upset and resentful.

Yak's grandfather, of course, noticed this as well, and continued to laugh:

“I know you’re not convinced, Flora, so I’ve already written in my letter that you can challenge Emery after you go there and experience firsthand the difference between the two of you.”

“If she really did kill the ancient dragon by trickery, and her eyes were also a disguise, then you can still bring this letter back. You are still the Federation’s most promising genius to break the record.”

"But conversely, if you lose, you'll have to stay by her side for a while... You can work for her or befriend her, it's up to you, but you need to get to know her better and find out the secret to how she was able to break through at such a young age, understand?"

"Understood!"

Flora clenched her fists immediately, her fighting spirit soaring:

"I must defeat her, tear off her disguise, and prove that I am the youngest genius in the entire Federation to break through to that realm, hmph!"

"Alright...then get ready and set off, Flora."

Ark's grandfather didn't comment on this, he just smiled, handed the envelope containing the invitation to Flora, and let Flora leave.

"...Will this be alright, Grandpa?"

After watching Flora disappear into the red rosebud, Ark was somewhat puzzled:

"Shouldn't we send someone to win over Amelie? Flora is clearly going to provoke us and cause trouble, isn't she?"

"Don't worry, it's alright... With that young lady's intelligence, she'll understand my meaning after reading my letter, and she'll know what to do next."

Yak's grandfather waved his hand confidently, then thought for a moment and explained:

"Have you forgotten the elven guards around Emerald? If I remember correctly, that elf also tried to assassinate Emerald before, right? But look at her now. She's been completely conquered and is now obedient and docile to Emerald. Of course, considering the relationship between our two families, Emerald certainly won't go too far with Flora, but this is definitely the fastest way to warm up their relationship."

"Uh……"

Yak was speechless.

He really wanted to complain—Grandpa, you're almost 100 years old this year, how do you still know so much about how young girls can quickly develop feelings for each other? Were you like that when you were young? Or maybe you still are?

. . . . .

Emerald is currently unaware that she has passed her entrepreneurial trial and that someone is even offering her a new wife.

That evening, she remained in one of Langdon's laboratories, making final optimizations and adjustments to the keel fighter jet, which had already undergone substantial upgrades and modifications.

beep!

Just as Emerald was standing beneath the handsome delta-wing keel fighter, carefully observing it, a sound suddenly came from the inside pocket of her skirt, followed by a few vibrations.

"Ok?"

Amelie was somewhat surprised. This was an early warning system she had set up in advance, and this reaction meant that someone had entered the ward building where Connor was located.

However, that floor had been booked by Amelie, and apart from old man Langdon who would occasionally go to her to complain and Viliana who would report to her on the progress of her mission, no one went there.

Right now, old man Langdon is busy in another lab next door, and Viliana is also on a mission, so anyone entering that floor of the ward building would be very suspicious.

So Amelie first retrieved the Dragonbone Fighter into her undead storage space, and then activated another backup plan she had set up in the ward building—a few undead bugs hidden in the dark corners.

The little bug flew around the hospital corridor and quickly found the intruder.

She was a young nurse, wearing a short skirt and white stockings. Her face was obscured by a mask, but she had a great figure.

She was bending over and pushing a treatment cart, her head bowed low but her buttocks sticking out. She was walking very slowly on tiptoe, making almost no sound.

...Is she some lost little nurse? She's quite pretty, isn't she?

Amelie first licked her lips. She hadn't practiced water magic for several days, which made her, who was used to the life in the desert, feel a little lonely. That's why she stayed up all night in the laboratory.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Amelie quickly came to her senses and continued to observe the nurse in the shadows through the undead insects.

Although the mask covered the nurse's face, it was just a mask. In a world with magic, there are countless ways to see a person's face through a layer of cloth.

Even after seeing the nurse's face clearly, Emerald was certain she didn't recognize her, and she couldn't detect any magical fluctuations from the nurse; she seemed to be just an ordinary nurse.

But an ordinary nurse wouldn't sneak into a VIP ward that's off-limits at this time; she must have had ulterior motives.

Emery thought for a moment, then, instead of acting rashly, she called out to a small white flowerpot on the small round table beside her:

"03."

"Young Miss, I'm here."

Since Emerald is now 03's first in line to inherit the throne, 03 naturally changes his address for Emerald to "Young Lady".

"Help me take a look at this person... Can your database identify her? She definitely isn't a nurse at the hospital."

As she spoke, Amelie conjured a magic ball the size of a grape with her bare hands. It was a fragment of her memory, showing her remotely controlling undead insects to secretly observe the nurse.

The little white flower swallowed the magic ball whole, just like a snake swallowing an egg, and then answered a few seconds later:

“She is definitely not a nurse at Landon Hospital, not even a registered nurse. I have searched the information of all registered nurses in the Allen Federation, and there is no one who matches her.”

"It really was an imposter..."

Emery gave a cold laugh and asked again:

"So who exactly is she? At this point, she seems to be just an ordinary person, but what ordinary person would have the guts to do something like this?"

"...Beep, key data comparison in progress, please wait, beep..."

Little White Flower remained silent for another ten seconds before 03's voice rang out again:

"The comparison was successful. Based on a comprehensive comparison of her gait, blinking frequency, breathing rate, habitual small movements, and suspected purpose, there is a greater than 76% probability that she is Ms. Mengmeng Bell, the FBI's Purple Star Investigator."

"...It's actually Mengmeng?"

Amelie was somewhat surprised:

"Why is she here? Didn't you successfully fool her last time?"

“My performance last time was flawless, and Miss Mengmeng did not find anything either. However, her intuition is very accurate and completely illogical.”

03's voice remained completely flat.

"It is speculated that she chose to come to the hospital to search again because of some psychological factors, or because she was still worried, or because she found other clues outside."

Chapter 171 I caught a Dream.

Miss Mengmeng is at it again, infiltrating and investigating!

Amelie's lips curled up, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Her upgrade and modification of the Dragonbone fighter jet is basically complete, and it will probably take another 2 to 3 days for Connor Holm to be completely dead... She was just worried that she would be a little bored in the next two days, and now the toy has arrived.

"She's in my hands... cough cough, I mean, I'll handle her. 03, remember to cooperate when needed, mainly with the kids."

Emery gave the order.

"Yes, Miss, the order has been recorded."

03 first responded with a completely emotionless voice, then asked:

"Should we report this to the master? The master's authority is still above that of the young lady. Even if I conceal it for you now, I will still report the truth when the master asks about it."

"Well, then just tell old Langdon. He won't care about such a small thing."

Amelie nodded slightly and continued to secretly observe Miss Mengmeng disguised as a nurse, waiting for the right opportunity to make her appearance.

On the floor where Connor was staying, the nurse Mengmeng was still crouching down, pushing a medical cart and looking around furtively.

As they passed each room, the nurse Mengmeng would approach and use a magic device hidden in the medical cart to see what was inside.

However, this floor was just a regular VIP ward, but it was currently booked out by Emery. Most of the rooms were empty, and the few that were there were just some medical equipment. There were no clues that Mengmeng wanted.

Despite searching for a long time without finding anything, the nurse Mengmeng was not discouraged and continued to search diligently, leaving no room unchecked.

During this time, the undead bug controlled by Emerald followed behind the little nurse Mengmeng from a slightly lower angle, which allowed her to enjoy a great view of her tight-fitting white stockings.

Finally, the nurse Mengmeng found the only room with someone in the entire ward, which was the room where Connor was staying.

The ward is spacious and bright, with all kinds of medical and living facilities, truly deserving of the treatment of a VIP special care ward.

But that's just the hardware. Aside from being put on some life support devices, Connor hasn't received any treatment or medical staff to take care of him. It's like he's just been left here to die.

"...Sigh, you're such an unlucky and pitiful guy. I really don't know what bad things you did in your past life to have to meet a fiancée like that in this life... Learn your lesson in the next life, the eldest daughter of a big family isn't so easy to marry."

The young nurse, Mengmeng, stood in front of Connor's bed for a while and made a comment before carefully searching the room. After finding nothing, she prepared to leave.

However, just as the nurse Mengmeng entered Connor's ward, Amelie returned and blocked Mengmeng at the door.

"...Oh my gosh! Where did this little cutie come from? Why are you sneaking into my fiancé's room so late at night? Are you trying to steal something? That's bad behavior...you have to be punished!"

Emery acted quite frivolously, and pretended not to recognize Mengmeng's identity. She immediately hooked Mengmeng's chin with her hand and licked her lips, looking like a hunter who had offered up her prey.

"Goo!"

The young nurse, Mengmeng, trembled slightly; she was genuinely frightened.

It was no secret that Emerald was at the Federal Noble Girls' Academy. Mengmeng had even looked into it because she knew Emerald, and she knew very well how dangerous this seemingly elegant and beautiful young lady was to a beautiful girl who was alone.

"Hugs... I'm so sorry, I... I came to change the patient's dressing, but I accidentally went to the wrong floor. I'll leave now."

However, Mengmeng is also an experienced and outstanding investigator. She immediately put on an acting show, pretending to be a novice nurse making a mistake, trying to get away with it.

But Emery wasn't about to let her go.

"Since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave~~"

Emerald grabbed the nurse Mengmeng's hand and, without giving her a chance to refuse, pulled her into the empty ward next door. Then, Emerald casually sat down on the bed and tried to pull Mengmeng onto her lap.

"You'll serve me well tonight... Judging from your appearance, you're probably still an intern who hasn't been promoted yet, right? If you serve me well, I'll talk to your dean tomorrow and get you promoted immediately, how about that?"

"I……"

That despicable chaebol heiress, is this how she treats pretty girls? How shameless!

Nurse Mengmeng inwardly condemned Amelie's scumbag nature, but that didn't stop her from continuing her acting prowess, portraying herself as somewhat tempted but ultimately sticking to her principles:

"I'm sorry, young lady, I'm not the kind of person you imagine."

"You can be!"

Emerald, however, showed no intention of letting go, forcefully pulling the young nurse Mengmeng onto her lap, pressing her white stockings against her black stockings.

"I've taken a liking to you tonight. Even if you don't want to be promoted, you'll definitely be promoted tomorrow!"

"You...you can't do this!"

Emery didn't actually use much force, but Miss Mengmeng, disguised as an ordinary nurse, didn't dare to struggle too much. She could only let her face turn red, looking very angry.

"It's illegal to go against a woman's will! Even if you are the daughter of Myerson, you can't just ignore federal law like this, can you?"

Miss Mengmeng, being a nurse, certainly couldn't know Amelie, but it's not surprising that she knew Amelie's identity as the daughter of the Melson family, because the Melson family is very recognizable, and most pink-haired humans living in the Federation have some Melson blood.
