The villain daughter did all kinds of things

She often reminded Badis to avoid the Dessert Gang when she was out fighting, because she didn't really want to deal with her aunt who seemed a bit abnormal.

I never imagined that I could run away from this aunt forever.

Fortunately, Emerald is no longer afraid, after all, she is not only a Fusion-stage mage but also the owner of the Melson Ring. If Cynthia dares to have any perverted thoughts about her, she wouldn't mind using Julia's methods to give Cynthia a ideological correction.

Although adult members of the Melson family could continue living in Melson's Sky Estate like Pias, most preferred to live outside like Amelie.

The same is true for Cynthia Myerson, who has many residences throughout the Federation.

After all, the Dessert Gang is now the largest and strongest gang in the Allen Federation, with more than 200 branches throughout the Federation, more than 5000 officially registered core members, hundreds of thousands of peripheral reserve members, and dozens of affiliated gangs of similar size.

Emerald didn't know which city Cynthia would be spending the night in, so she contacted Cynthia using a communication magic device.

Cynthia immediately said that she would be staying at her place in Sphinx tonight and had arranged to meet Amelie in half an hour.

Amelie looked at the communication magic device in her hand, which had already been disconnected, and was somewhat speechless. She strongly suspected that Cynthia had changed her mind at the last minute and wanted to go back to Sphinxgart just to make an appointment with her.

But since the appointment has already been made, and there's no time like the present, I'll go find Cynthia tonight and ask about Sulinsa's situation.

After returning to her lodgings, Emery hesitated for a moment, then sighed, and finally decided to speak frankly with Sulina:

"Senior... I just found out some things about your sister. Her success back then might not have been as simple as you think."

"...You mean, my sister really did have a sugar daddy, and that she committed suicide because she got into trouble with him?"

Sulina didn't doubt Amelie's words, but her face suddenly turned pale, as if she had suffered a great shock.

"That's not the case."

Emery waved her hands repeatedly:

“Your sister does have someone supporting her, and that person is my aunt… She and your sister were very close friends when they were at the Federal Noble Girls’ Academy, probably similar to how you and I are.”

"Just like how I can bully you in private without caring, but I would never let you embarrass yourself on stage, my aunt and your sister would never have gone to such lengths back then."

"My dad told me that my aunt was also shocked and heartbroken by what happened to your sister back then, and she's still investigating the truth of that matter to this day. She's probably got quite a few clues by now. I'm planning to go ask her about it later. Senior, why don't you come along too?"

"So there's such a thing... My sister has never mentioned it to me before."

Su Lina gave a wry smile, her expression somewhat complicated:

"I always thought my sister's success was entirely due to her own hard work, and I always dreamed of catching up with her and even surpassing her. I never expected... tsk."

"Actually, this is normal, right?"

Emery shrugged, finding it quite amusing.

"Imagine if you had a younger sister, would you tell her that the main reason you became the Federation's new generation of pop diva was because you were my chair?"

"Uh... that's definitely not the case."

Su Lina's expression instantly softened, but she also looked somewhat disappointed.

"But...do dancers have to be protected by powerful figures to succeed? Is it really not enough to rely solely on their talent?"

"That's probably going to be very difficult."

Emery shrugged:

“A talented singer and dancer like you, senior, is often very beautiful, so beautiful that you always attract the covetousness of all sorts of people… Unless you are strong enough, beauty without the protection of a strong person often leads to tragedy. That’s reality, senior.”

"……Right."

Sulina paused for a moment, then instantly became alluring, pressing herself close to Emery and breathing into her ear:

"Then, young lady, you must protect me well. If I were to perish like my sister, your next chair might not be as useful and comfortable as mine~~"

"I'm already protecting you, senior, aren't I?"

Emery also casually put her arm around Sulina's soft waist and whispered sweet nothings in her ear:

"Otherwise, who do you think I'm investigating the truth of what happened back then for?"

. . . . .

Half an hour later, Emerald, who had changed into a new outfit, left Melson Manor with Sulina and Marcy, who had also changed into new clothes, in a magical airship.

Marcy drove the hovercar, and with Emerald's directions, she quickly flew to another district of Sphinx, where she could see a peculiar aerial building in the distance.

A giant donut suspended about 300 meters in the air is the headquarters of the Dessert Gang, the largest gang in the Federation, in Sphingart, and is also the private property of Cynthia Myerson.

"Oh, my aunt is over 40 but still has the heart of a young girl. Doesn't she feel shy living in a building that looks like a donut?"

As the giant donut drew ever closer, Emery complained.

Sulina and Masi just secretly rolled their eyes at this.

...Miss, is your private airship shaped like a strawberry cake? How dare you criticize your aunt's donut-shaped sky villa?

Soon, the magical airship was incredibly close to the giant donut, and a rectangular chocolate door on the donut immediately opened, letting the magical airship inside.

Inside was a fairly large garage, already filled with more than ten cars, each decorated in a very stylish way. Some were either edgy color schemes, while others were anime-themed cars.

Amelie and her companions' magical levitation vehicle stood out awkwardly in the garage because it was so ordinary.

After getting off the bus, two young women dressed in tank tops, miniskirts, and fishnet stockings quickly approached and waved to Amelie.

"Hi, young lady, over here, over here~~"

Amelie smiled and nodded to the two young women, and as she walked over, she casually reached out and touched the mesh of their fishnet stockings as a greeting.

The two spirited young women weren't angry at all. They laughed and giggled, one leading the way for Emerald and the others, while the other followed behind them.

Soon, the group arrived at Cynthia's reception area, a private living room decorated in a bar style.

A beautiful woman with long pink hair was standing behind the bar. She was wearing a gothic-style cake dress, holding a pipe in her hand, and a plate of small cakes in front of her. She was eating dessert and puffing out smoke.

"Aunt Cynthia, I'm here."

Emerald walked straight to the bar, greeted them, and unceremoniously picked up a small cake from the plate and put it in her mouth.

"...Hmph, you heartless little Ellie, do you even remember your aunt?"

Cynthia gave Emerald a resentful look and blew a smoke ring at her:

"How long has it been since you last came to visit me?"

"Sorry, Auntie, I've just been busy with my studies."

Emery, of course, had already come up with a reason for herself, and chuckled:

"If I hadn't worked incredibly hard, how could I have become the youngest Fusion-stage mage in the history of the Allen Federation?"

"Tch... Busy with studies? I think you're more busy tormenting young girls! Don't say I don't know what you did at the academy... Several girls you bullied chose to join my dessert gang after graduation. Should I arrange for them to meet you?"

Cynthia simply rolled her eyes dismissively and blew a smoke ring at Emerald.

"Uh……"

Amelie's playful expression froze a little, and she was also a little curious. All the girls who could go to the Federal Noble Girls' Academy were young ladies, so how could someone join a gang after graduation?

Seemingly sensing Amelie's curiosity, Cynthia took a deep drag on her pipe before slowly saying:

"You seem a bit surprised? Actually, it's not that strange. Many of the students at the Noble Girls' Academy come from powerful local families, and these powerful families are all connected to local gangs to some extent. Some of these gangs were foolish enough to offend me, so I took down those gangs along with their backers. Those young ladies who lost their family protection naturally became my prisoners and swore allegiance to me... Interestingly, some of them even tried to use you, Ellie, to threaten me... Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you're the youngest member of the Federation's Integration Phase, how impressive."

"Then Auntie, you'll be the youngest Fusion Stage Mage's auntie! You must be even more impressive!"

Emerald quickly praised Cynthia, then asked with even greater curiosity:

"And then what? Auntie, how did you manage to deal with them?"

"It's very simple~~"

Cynthia suddenly revealed a mischievous smile:

"I just showed them a picture of you sitting in my lap as a child, acting all cute, and they immediately knelt down and called me master."

"Auntie, you really have a way..."

Emery wasn't too surprised, and she went along with the topic and started chatting with Cynthia.

After the two had almost completely regained their old familiarity and intimacy, Cynthia suddenly looked at Sulina, who had been standing silently behind Emerald:

"You must be Sasha's sister, right? Is that why Ellie came to find me? Tsk... You and Sasha really do look alike. If Ellie hadn't already won you over, I would have grabbed you and locked you up to be your sister's meal replacement... Sasha really is something, why didn't she tell me she had such a beautiful sister back then?"

Cynthia didn't notice that Emery's expression suddenly turned strange as she said these words.

Because Emerald suddenly realized that the character of Sulina did not exist in the original game. Could it be that Sulina in that timeline was captured by Cynthia and eaten as a substitute for Sulina?

Sulina, on the other hand, was slightly frightened. Cynthia's aggressive gaze reminded her of the feeling of being bullied and harassed by Emery.

Fortunately, Emery quickly reached out from under the bar, out of Cynthia's sight, and took Sulina's hand.

Despite not using any magic, Sulina suddenly felt a surge of power, and even though the person in front of her who seemed intent on bullying her was a young lady from Melson, she was no longer afraid.

"Thank you for taking care of my sister back then, madam."

Having calmed down, Sulina gracefully bowed to Cynthia:

"I heard from the young lady that my sister's achievements back then were largely due to you and your dessert team."

"Sasha's achievements..."

Cynthia was clearly thinking of her old lover; there was sadness in her eyes, but even more so, longing.

"Actually, Ellie's statement is not entirely correct, or rather, the cause and effect are reversed. It was not I who used the Dessert Gang to help Sasha become a singing and dancing queen, but rather I established the Dessert Gang and single-handedly developed it into the largest gang in the Federation in order to protect Sasha."

"Huh?" x2

Emerald and Sulina were both surprised and started gossiping.

"What? Surprised? Hmph..."

Cynthia, on the other hand, was clearly quite pleased with herself, and her enthusiasm for conversation soared:

"Actually, there's nothing surprising about it, is there? Before I graduated from the academy with Sasha, I was just an ordinary rich heiress. The dessert gang didn't even exist back then."

"I didn't have any ambition at first. Like most children of tycoons, I just wanted to live a life of luxury and idleness... well, of course, I dragged Sasha along with me."

"But Sasha was very ambitious and wanted to become the best singer and dancer. After graduation, she worked hard to show herself."

“Sasa’s singing and dancing are superb, and she is very beautiful, but she comes from a declining family, and her relationship with me is a secret… Naturally, she was soon targeted. A local gang leader from Sphinx coveted her beauty and almost kidnapped her.”

"Of course I was furious when I found out about this... What kind of trash dares to lay a hand on my precious Sasha?"

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just wanted to gather a group of people to wipe out that small gang that was bullying Sasha. Even the name 'Dessert Gang' was just something I came up with randomly... cough cough."

"In short, just like how Ellie could easily lead the Flying White River Gang in Locke City, I was, after all, the young lady of the Melson family. With just a little bit of resources, I could easily organize an armed force capable of crushing any gang. The gang that wanted to bully Sasha was naturally wiped out overnight."

“After that, I wanted to go public with my relationship with Sasha, but Sasha herself was unwilling. She said she wanted to achieve success through her own efforts, rather than relying on me, the heiress of a chaebol.”

“Sasha has a very proud temper, and I couldn’t persuade her, so I just let her be.”

"Of course, just because Sasha doesn't let me protect her doesn't mean I won't protect her. That's impossible."

"During those years, Sasha toured the Federation with her dance troupe, and almost every place she went was coveted because she was so beautiful."

"There was no other way, so I could only secretly protect Sasha with the Dessert Gang... Whenever Sasha went to a city for a performance, I would break up and incorporate the local gangs."

"That's not difficult for me either, little Ellie, you probably know this all too well... As long as we use a corporate management model combined with military-style training and arming, those mere gang thugs are completely no match for my people~~"

"And so, without realizing it, by the time Sasha became a queen of song and dance, I had practically beaten up every gang in the entire Federation and become the biggest gang godmother."

"..." x2

After hearing the story, Emerald and Sulina exchanged a glance.

How should I put it? It actually feels quite romantic?

"So, who exactly was my sister back then?"

After a moment of silence, it was Su Lina, who was most eager for the truth, who broke the silence first.

Upon hearing Sulina mention this, Cynthia's expression immediately darkened, her eyes filled with sorrow:

"I don't know... I've been investigating the truth all these years, but I still have no answer."

“I’m certain that Sasha is definitely not that kind of person, and she would never commit suicide… Just the day before her accident, she promised to go on vacation with me after the performance. I had already booked the entire resort, but Sasha never came to go with me…”

"Don't worry, Auntie. The truth will eventually come out, and that's why I'm here."

Seeing this, Emerald quickly grabbed Cynthia's hand to comfort her, and then asked:

"Aunt, have you found any clues over the years? Even just speculation without any evidence is fine."

"Speculation..."

Cynthia took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
