The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Roar!

Hammer Armor Beast immediately lost interest in the magical ingredients in its mouth, its eyes turned bloodshot, and it entered a state of rage due to the pain.

It jumped off the car, glared at the young man, and pounced on him, intending to tear him to pieces to vent its anger.

The young man suffered a leg cramp due to excessive tension and excitement. He could theoretically escape, but instead he collapsed to the ground, forced to watch helplessly as the Hammer Armored Beast's gaping maw approached.

So... I shouldn't have risked my life?

The young man regretted his actions, but there was nothing he could do; he could only stare blankly and wait to die.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

Just then, a clear and melodious shout rang out, followed by the sound of something cutting through the air.

It was Yulia who discovered the situation while patrolling in the air. She raised her hands and clenched them into fists, then swooped down from above Locke City in a manner very similar to Superman flying, colliding violently with the Hammer Armored Beast that had already leaped up to tear the young man apart in mid-air.

Hammer Armor Beast was significantly heavier than Yulia, but Yulia's rapid dive was many times faster than Hammer Armor Beast's jump. The two canceled each other out, and their total kinetic energy was actually similar, resulting in a draw in the collision.

The Hammer Armored Beast was knocked back in mid-air, returning to the truck and turning the already severely damaged truck almost completely into scrap metal.

Yulia was in no better shape. She was sent flying even further and tumbled more than ten times on the ground before regaining her footing. Of her clothes, only her magical artifact cloak was completely undamaged, while her dress and white stockings had holes in them.

"hateful!"

Roar!

Both sides were flaming with anger from the collision. The Hammer Armor Beast completely abandoned the boy who had shot its belly earlier, and Yulia only had eyes for the Hammer Armor Beast. The two charged again and collided fiercely.

But the result of this clash was that Hammerbeast won by a large margin.

Yulia had only been a mage for a few days, and although she was more powerful, she had little combat experience. This hammer-armored beast, on the other hand, had clearly lived in the wild for a long time and was quite cunning.

Hammer Armor Beast pretended to be ready to confront Yulia head-on again, but it was just a feint.

Just as the two were about to collide, it suddenly turned around and slammed its mace-like tail into Yulia from the side.

Yulia was completely unable to defend against it, but fortunately her magical artifact cloak was powerful and had an automatic defense function. She floated to the direction from which the meteor hammer's tail was coming and blocked it head-on, absorbing most of the kinetic energy.

Even though she avoided injury, Yulia still flew far away and scraped the ground like a ball hit by a home run, making her fall even more embarrassing.

Chapter 32 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Part 3)

After being whipped senseless by a tail, Yulia did not continue to be angry and angry; instead, she calmed down completely.

In the original game, Yulia was the same way. In every battle, she would first foolishly rush in and charge in, only to suffer heavy losses and unlock a few animations before she would remember to cooperate with her companions and defeat the enemy with the help of the bond buff.

Now, Yulia had also grasped this point without being taught. She almost immediately realized that defeating the Hammer-Armored Beast on her own would be extremely difficult, and decisively suggested to the caravan leader:

"Let's join forces! I saw it while I was flying; your magic guns can pierce its belly. I'll find a way to make it expose its belly again, and you can launch a fierce attack!"

"it is good!"

The team leader was simply acting according to the script today, and seeing that the protagonist had already appeared, he naturally agreed without hesitation and immediately ordered the guards to fight alongside Yulia.

This time, the Hammer Armored Beast was finally at a disadvantage.

Yulia's raw strength was similar to, or even stronger than, that of the Hammer Armor Beast; she only suffered losses due to a lack of combat experience.

Now she's not reckless anymore; she's taking a steady and methodical approach, carefully flipping over the armored beast's body to create opportunities for the guards to fire their magic guns.

In just over 10 minutes, the Hammer Armored Beast had more than 10 more wounds on its belly, and black blood was flowing all over the ground. It was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

However, the Hammer Armored Beast was already a monster with a certain level of intelligence. If it couldn't defeat it, it would run away. After finding another opportunity to temporarily force Yulia back with its meteor hammer tail, it plunged into the deep pit and used its only talent ability similar to magic—underground stealth—and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The caravan guards did not immediately lower their guard. At the caravan captain's request, Yulia flew into the pit to take a look. Only after confirming that the Hammer Armored Beast had indeed left did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Miss Julia."

The team leader first gave a few instructions to his subordinates, then approached Yulia with a sincere smile and handed her a medicine box.

Yulia didn't stand on ceremony. She took the first-aid kit, took out medicine and bandages, and began to treat the scrapes and abrasions on her body from rolling on the ground when she was knocked away. Her expression was somewhat curious.

"you know me?"

"Many people in Locke City know you now, Miss Julia."

The team leader's smile widened:

"You've been quite active these past few days. I heard about the name 'the kind-hearted girl next door,' Yulia, two days ago, and seeing her today, I can confirm it's well-deserved. She's a beautiful and brave girl."

"Hehe, they're not as good as you say."

Yulia was clearly pleased with the praise, and while bandaging herself, she playfully tied a bow with the bandage.

Most of her injuries were abrasions, which would heal in two days at most with the healing potions available in this world; in fact, bandages weren't necessary. However, her clothes were also torn, so it was better to wrap them with bandages to prevent accidental exposure of certain areas.

"No, you are indeed a brave and good girl, Miss Julia."

The team leader said solemnly:

"Based on my experience, a mage like you who has demonstrated combat prowess should soon receive invitations from various factions. The Federation Army will definitely invite you, and several large security companies should also send you invitations... Hmm, if possible, I recommend that you give priority to Melson Security Company. Their benefits are the best, and they are the most famous in the industry."

"No, I will not join the army, nor will I join those security companies as a mercenary."

Yulia immediately shook her head, her expression equally serious:

"In helping everyone these past few days, I've come to realize that... it's precisely because the vast majority of mages have joined the military or large security companies that it's so difficult for ordinary people to get help from mages in a timely manner when they need it! I want to stay among the people and dedicate myself to helping everyone! My efforts alone may be a drop in the ocean, but I will do my best!"

"...Stay among the people to help ordinary folks? You really are a remarkable young lady, Miss Yulia!"

The convoy leader showed genuine admiration, then beckoned to his subordinate, who brought over a briefcase and handed it to Yulia:

"Please accept this; it's a small token of our appreciation."

"What is this... huh?"

When Yulia opened the suitcase, she was surprised to find it full of cash, including several bundles of 100-rupee banknotes, totaling at least 5 rupees.

This is roughly what a middle-class person earns in a month.

"This...this...this is way too much!"

Yulia actually really wanted it, but she still made a show of declining.

“No, this is what you deserve, Miss Julia.”

The team leader looked earnestly into Yulia's emerald eyes:

“Since you have chosen to stay in the civilian world and use your abilities to help everyone, you will not be able to enjoy the high salaries and benefits of the federal army or those large security companies. You need money to live, and there is nothing shameful about that.”

"Besides, encountering the Hammer Armored Beast and only losing less than half a truckload of goods before repelling it is a reward according to our transportation company's regulations. The bonus will be over 10 Luns! You've helped us a lot, so you should rightfully have a share of this bonus, Miss Julia. This is your hard-earned money, and you can accept it without any guilt."

"Then...then I won't be polite!"

Yulia thought for a few more seconds, then took the suitcase.

She agreed with the team leader's statement that she was indeed entitled to the money and that she did need it to maintain her daily life.

That magic workshop is actually very valuable. If Yulia were willing to sell it, she could live a life of luxury for the rest of her life, but she clearly has no intention of selling it.

Aside from the Magic Workshop, Yulia is a completely poor student. She relied entirely on scholarships to make a living while she was a student, but now that she has graduated, she has lost even her only source of income.

She really needs money right now; she's a very poor little rich woman.

After accepting the money, Yulia and the team leader exchanged a few words of encouragement.

The team leader told Yulia not to give up on her dream easily, and Yulia wished the team a smooth journey in their next transport mission. After that, she prepared to return to the city.

"Um... Miss Julia!"

Just as Yulia had taken her stance and was ready for takeoff, the team leader called her back, a look of hesitation flashing across his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Please be careful, Miss Julia."

"The Hammer Armored Beast is a very vengeful and cunning monster! Today you cooperated with us to injure it, and it may take the opportunity to retaliate against you."

"Also... there's a big shot already eyeing you, Miss Julia. Please be careful and don't be fooled."

Chapter 33 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Part 4)

"Huh? A big shot is eyeing me?"

Yulia paused for a moment, but wasn't too surprised. The image of a mischievous, pink-haired young lady naturally popped into her mind.

"It's alright, he's just a perverted voyeur, nothing to worry about! As long as I don't give in to depravity, she can't do anything to me!"

Yulia smiled and waved her hand, puffing out her chest with confidence.

"As for that hammer-armored beast..."

After resting her chin on her hand and pondering for a moment, Yulia finally stopped smiling and nodded solemnly:

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will be extra careful these next few days to prevent it from retaliating. You should also be extra careful when transporting goods."

"……Um."

The team leader didn't say anything more, just nodded with a complicated expression, and watched Yulia take off and fly towards Locke City.

After Yulia's figure completely disappeared from sight, the team leader suddenly shuddered and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He ordered his men to begin using magical artifacts to repair the large crater in the road caused by the Hammer Armored Beast, while he left the convoy and, based on the information he had just received, went to a secluded place.

The pink-haired, blue-eyed young lady, dressed in a beige dress and black stockings, stood there, staring at the convoy leader with obvious displeasure.

"Things were handled fairly well, but what was the meaning behind your last few words?"

“…I’m sorry, Miss.”

The team leader gritted his teeth, hesitated for a few seconds, and then bowed his head to Emerald.

“Miss Julia is truly a virtuous and kind girl. I was moved by compassion and couldn’t help but say those things to her.”

"You were moved by her, so you're planning to betray me? Humph!"

Emerald's expression remained unchanged, but her voice was cold as she tossed another bottle of alchemical potion to the caravan leader.

"Drink it yourself... or do you want me to do it myself?"

"I……"

The team leader's face immediately turned ashen.

He caught the medicine bottle, his hands trembling, a fleeting glint of madness in his eyes, but ultimately settling into despair.

"...I understand now, people really shouldn't act impulsively."

With a bitter laugh, the convoy leader opened the cap of the medicine bottle:

"I have to take responsibility for my actions. Please, Miss, don't take your anger out on my family."

Without waiting for Amelie's reply, he tilted his head back and drank all the potion in the bottle, under Amelie's strange gaze.

The team leader was prepared to suffer a agonizing death, but found that several seconds passed without any abnormalities in his body.

Instead, my mind was buzzing, and my clear memories were gradually becoming blurry. I couldn't remember many things that had happened in the past few days.

"I...I...what is this? Young...Young Miss?"

After babbling for a while, the caravan leader barely managed to regain his senses, looking at Emerald with bewildered and fearful eyes, seeking an answer.

He had forgotten even the fact that he had just taken the medicine, and had lost his memory of many details from the past two days. He only remembered that he had received a mission from Emerald from Fatty Vie, but he couldn't recall the specifics at all.

"nothing."

Amélie, too lazy to waste any more words, simply tossed another briefcase to the team leader:

"You did me a favor, and this is the final payment I promised you. Your current state is that I used an alchemical potion to erase part of your memory, because that matter needs to be kept secret."

"Don't ask! And don't overthink it!"

Seeing that the convoy captain seemed to want to say something more, Emery's eyes hardened again, and she released her killing intent directly:

"Or... do you really want me to protect the secret in another way?"

"No...no need! Thank you for your mercy, Miss. Goodbye, Miss!"

The team leader was terrified. He didn't even dare to open his briefcase to check the final payment. Seeing that Emery didn't intend to keep him there, he immediately turned and ran away.

Watching the convoy leader walk away, Emery softened her icy gaze, resting her chin on one hand and tugging at the black stockings on her leg with the other, murmuring:

"Although he added something at the end, the plan still went smoothly... If we make good use of that remark, it might yield unexpected benefits."

The attack on the transport convoy by the Hammer Armored Beasts was entirely orchestrated by Emerald herself.

She had given the team leader the mission in advance through Fatty Wei, and she also captured the Hammer Armor Beast herself from a distance.

But the main purpose of the event was not to let Yulia get beaten up by the Hammer Armored Beast, but to get the box of money that the caravan leader gave to Yulia.
