The villain daughter did all kinds of things

The assassin, having exhausted all his tricks, was quickly injured by the incoming elemental magic. The pain shook his willpower, causing his mental defenses to crumble. As the mental realm invaded, the elven girl continuously read the memories in his brain.

The entire process took less than a minute, and the battle was completely over. Pedestrians on the street didn't even notice that someone had suddenly disappeared.

Meanwhile, in a deserted alley not far away, the elven girl hummed a song as she used fire magic to completely destroy the assassin's corpse while simultaneously using communication magic to report to Edith:

"Reporting, Captain, these people are likely professional assassins. They recently received a high-paying assassination mission targeting Lady Sulina."

"So they really came for the people around the master? Then they are unforgivable!"

Edith chuckled coldly, a hint of excitement lurking in her voice:

"Let's get to work, sisters, and clear out these small fry. I'll handle informing Lady Sulina... Do a good job and don't let our master down. If we do well, she'll definitely reward us."

"Yes, Captain!"

The elven girls responded in unison and each took action, launching a targeted cleanup operation based on the information gathered from the assassins.

Soon, the signals of several more assassins disappeared from the monitoring system. Like the first assassin, they were all suddenly pulled into a small domain by mental magic. After launching a counterattack, all their means were targeted and blocked, and they could only be killed in frustration.

Meanwhile, Edith also contacted Sulina, telling her that many assassins had come for her.

"An assassin? Coming for me?"

Su Lina frowned, somewhat surprised.

She's just a singer and dancer now, and she has no conflict of interest with anyone. Who would spend so much money to hire a hitman for her?

However, Su Lina wasn't afraid.

She first finished today's training, settled all the girls into the safe house, and then contacted Edith:

"Don't kill all those assassins. Leave two for me to play with. I'm really curious who would want me dead."

"Yes, Lady Surina."

Of course, Edith wouldn't refuse.

And so, those professional assassins who came for the high bounties disappeared without a trace in less than an hour after entering Locke City, like pebbles thrown into the ocean, without even making a ripple.

Only one pair of assassins, who had been deliberately spared by the elven girls, lingered near the Blue Star Dance Troupe's venue for about 40 minutes before finally deciding to make their move against Sulina.

At this moment, Su Lina was standing alone in the center of the dance troupe's training ground, dancing gracefully to the music with one foot on the ground, and occasionally singing a few lines.

Her beautiful dance moves and melodious singing voice are so captivating that even someone completely unfamiliar with music and art would find them wonderful and be enchanted by Su Lina's charm.

Even the two assassins who infiltrated were captivated by Su Lina's singing and dancing for a few seconds, and their eyes revealed desires other than greed.

But they were professional killers after all, and they quickly suppressed the ripples in their hearts; any glimmer of compassion was immediately extinguished.

The beautiful women and the singing and dancing were indeed wonderful, but the professional assassin wanted the bounty even more.

One of the assassins, remaining in a state of magical invisibility, silently approached Sulina on the stage, wielding two poisoned daggers.

The other assassin also remained invisible, installing magical devices inlaid with crimson crystals around the stage.

These are all specially made magical bombs. If the assassination fails, they will detonate these bombs to create chaos and then take the opportunity to escape.

Soon, the assassin on the stage stealthily approached Su Lina. He swallowed hard as he looked at Su Lina's supple waist and long legs, and then without hesitation, he used his poisoned dagger to stab Su Lina's neck and heart from both sides simultaneously.

Most assassins may not be strong in direct combat, but their stealth and assassination skills are outstanding. Even when facing opponents of the same level, a single strike that breaks through stealth can often end the battle directly.

Sulina had to admit that if she hadn't received the information from Edith beforehand, she might not have been able to escape this assassination attempt.

However, just as Sulina was about to use the stage magic she had prepared to teach the two assassins a lesson before interrogating them properly, something unexpected happened.

The magical costume that Sulina had long regarded as a disgrace and a source of Emerald's perverse taste had somehow completed its donning on its own and launched a counterattack.

Only then did Sulina realize that the long train of her magical costume was not just the backrest that Emerald used as a chair, but also a powerful piece of equipment that combined offense and defense.

Swipe!

Without Sulina even needing to do anything, the back of the long dress seemed to utilize the automatic defense technology of Yulia's magic cloak, directly blocking the assassin's dagger.

That wasn't all. Then, the skirt split in the middle again, and like two blades, it spun around Su Lina's waist, slicing the assassin in two.

The assassin was not entirely unprepared. As the skirt sliced ​​towards him, he immediately activated two magic shields and a deflection spell in an attempt to parry the skirt's attack.

But it was completely useless.

Furthermore, the equipment used by assassins who take on missions to earn money is nowhere near as high quality as the equipment that a wealthy heiress gives to her lover. Not to mention, the magical artifacts used by the Melson family are at least a generation ahead of those circulating outside.

The sharp hem of the skirt sliced ​​through the assassin's defenses like cutting tofu, cutting him into several pieces with smooth, clean cuts, just like a steak freshly prepared by a chef in a restaurant.

Sulina herself and the other assassin were both dumbfounded.

The assassin then immediately tried to detonate the magical bombs he had set up, but suddenly discovered that all the bombs he had just set up had disappeared.

"Humph."

Sulina sneered, activating the stage magic she had prepared beforehand, completely altering the surrounding environment:

"When did you start to have the illusion that you actually planted a bomb?"

"...Illusion?"

The assassin then realized what was happening, turned pale with fright, and rushed out of the building.

But he couldn't escape. The gate to the dance troupe's venue, which was so close at hand, suddenly became distorted and distant, and even the scene around him turned into a maze.

The Su Lina on the stage and the Su Lina off the stage are completely different in intensity.

The moment the two assassins became captivated by Su Lina's figure, beauty, and captivating performance, they were already under a powerful illusion. Everything they saw afterward was simply what Su Lina wanted them to see.

Even Sulina herself didn't expect that the magical artifact that Emerald gave her wasn't just for humiliating and toying with her, but was actually a very powerful piece of equipment. It actually killed an assassin with just its automatic counterattack.

Therefore, Su Lina cannot easily kill the last remaining assassin.

Sulina used illusion magic to toy with him until he was exhausted and his magic was depleted, then sealed him away and handed him over to Idris for interrogation.

As elven mages proficient in all types of magic, Idris and her companions are also adept at using mental magic to extract information from their targets' minds.

Unfortunately, this assassin, like other assassins, knew very little. He came to Locke City solely for the bounty and had no idea who issued the mission or why they wanted to assassinate Sulina.

After all the dozen or so assassins went missing, the remaining assassins who were still observing realized that this mission was not simple.

The bounty was tempting, but it was useless if you didn't live to spend it, so they quickly abandoned their plan to earn it. Several other assassins who were already on their way to Locke City also turned back immediately after receiving the news.

The life indicator technology used by the FBI is an old technology that has been in use for hundreds of years, and many intelligence organizations still use it. They equip every member on a mission with a life indicator, so that if any member is accidentally killed, the organization will immediately detect it.

Although the assassins who accepted the assassination missions did not belong to the same organization, they all left a life indicator light on the platform where they accepted the orders. This was a strict rule of the platform, which needed to know the true difficulty of the missions in real time.

After more than ten life indicator lights went out in a short period of time, the assassin platform immediately realized the problem and soon canceled the mission, stating that no matter how much bounty the employer offered, they would not issue similar missions again.

After all, the assassin platform only wanted to make money, and they were also unwilling to offend the true rulers of the Allen Federation.

Therefore, the assassination attempt meticulously planned by the vice president of the Arts Association had only served to make Emery frown for a few seconds before it was completely over.

However, the situation is different in Warrendo.

Upon discovering that the FBI had deployed a Fusion Stage expert, old man Langdon gave up resisting almost without hesitation, allowing the agents to handcuff him.

After being imprisoned for many days, Mengmeng was finally freed, and the secret of old man Langdon's underground experimental facility was completely discovered.

Even veteran agents who had worked for many years couldn't help but vomit when they saw the laboratory filled with corpses and where people were treated as expendable resources.

A bombshell that shocked the entire Federation was dropped.

Chapter 203 The Young Lady Arrives in Person

Although the laws of the Allen Federation still have many problems, and some financial magnates and officials often disregard the law and act recklessly, they are still very strict when it comes to matters involving human children.

Every crime involving the harm of human infants is a serious offense. Even if tycoons or officials commit such crimes, they rarely escape punishment.

The FBI director's final decision to take action against Langdon wasn't solely due to Emerald's mistress being arrested; more importantly, it was because Momo had publicly disclosed Langdon's potential crimes within the FBI beforehand. If the FBI chose to ignore Langdon's crimes, the very existence of the FBI would be called into question.

After all, besides those scoundrels who just coast along and seek personal gain, there are still quite a few people in the FBI who genuinely possess a sense of justice. And not harming human children is, even for some scoundrels, the last line of defense.

If even this bottom line is breached, then the people's hearts will truly be scattered, and the federal government's long-standing claim of an equal and law-abiding society will become a complete joke. This is also a situation that large families like the Mersons and Lohids do not want to see.

So after weighing the pros and cons, old man Langdon was still arrested.

This is undoubtedly a big deal.

Almost right after the premiere of "Julia 3" ended, Emery received news of Langdon's accident.

"So Old Deng really messed up? And it was a crucial clue that Mengmeng caught?"

Emery was shocked to hear the news from her cousin, followed by a rather complicated sense of regret.

As the person who led the kind-hearted Langdon astray with a single nonsensical remark back then, Emery believes she knows the old man Langdon quite well.

How to describe this person? He's not inherently bad, and his intentions are good, but he's too idealistic. He's an extreme idealist who can abandon morality without hesitation. He's the kind of person who can put human life on a scale and then discard the lighter side.

More importantly, old man Langdon is indeed a genius, and Emery has many technical ideas that she hopes to realize through him... So although Emery has always been thinking about old man Langdon's legacy, she really doesn't intend to let old man Langdon die so soon. She'll wait until he's old and his eyesight is failing and he can't do his research anymore, right?

What a pity!

I was thinking that way, but since it had already happened, I had to accept it and deal with it.

This incident also served as a warning to Emerald: even though she was already a Fusion Mage and the owner of the Melson Ring, and even though she was familiar with the original game's plot and could predict the general direction of the future to some extent, not everything could be easily controlled by her.

At least, Mengmeng's takedown of old man Langdon was completely unexpected by Amelie. She never imagined that the screams Mengmeng made while dressed as a nurse and being bullied by her against the rooftop railing and stair railing would become an important clue for Mengmeng to discover the truth.

Indeed, the real world is sometimes even more absurd than the plot of a game.

Shaking her head, temporarily setting aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Emerald first grabbed Julia's golden ponytail and gently kissed it:

“Something’s come up, honey. You and Sisi should go back to Locke City first. I need to take Anna to deal with something… something related to the family.”

"Ugh... Do you need my help?"

Yulia asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Your return to Locke City to take charge is the biggest help you can give me, honey."

Amelie chuckled softly and touched Julia's face again:

"Didn't I tell you before when Starling asked? Some more wicked guys have infiltrated Locke City, and this time their target is to assassinate Senior Su Lina... Although I've already dealt with them with the backup plan I left at home, who knows if more assassins will come. Only a strong person like you, my darling, can keep those small fry in check."

"..."

However, this time Yulia wasn't happy about these words; instead, she felt somewhat disappointed.

"Can I really be considered a strong person? I'm not even at the Fusion stage yet, and there are so many things I can't help you with, Emery... Ugh!?"

Before Yulia could finish speaking, Ameliet hugged Yulia and kissed her, simultaneously activating [Saintess's Kiss] to comprehensively enhance Yulia.

*Coo-choo*

Almost two minutes later, Emerald finally released Julia and asked with a smile:

"How about it? Do you feel like a strong person now?"

"……Um."

Yulia clenched her fist and nodded emphatically:

“Emerite, your power is still so warm and reliable. Every time you strengthen me with your kisses, I feel like I can do anything… Alright, Emeralite, you go and attend to your family matters. I will protect Locke City for you.”

"This is my sweet baby~~"

Amelie ruffled Julia's hair again before turning to greet Viliana:

“Let’s go, Anna, to Warrendo, to old Langdon’s place.”

"Yes, Master."

Viliana had already recorded the spatial coordinates of old man Langdon's courtyard and had also registered her official access rights with 03, allowing her to teleport there directly at any time using spatial magic. Upon receiving the order, she immediately began casting a spell to construct a small teleportation portal.

Julia watched as Emery disappeared through the portal, bit her lip, took a deep breath, and then smiled and waved to Marcy.

"Let's go, Sisi."

"Is Lady Yulia frustrated because she couldn't help the young lady?"

Marcy had long since developed a high level of emotional intelligence under Amelie's tutelage, and she immediately saw through Julia's inner conflict. After a moment's thought, a smile crept onto her lips:

"Actually... it's not that Lady Yulia can't help you that the young lady isn't taking you along, but rather that the young lady is going to secretly do something bad, so she doesn't dare to take Lady Yulia along."

"Huh? Is Emery off doing something naughty?"

Yulia blinked:

"What bad thing happened? Are you bullying girls again? Who is it?"

"It must be Miss Mengmeng from the FBI."

Marcy deliberately put on an uncertain expression and said:
