The villain daughter did all kinds of things

The deputy mayor grew angrier the more he thought about it.

He wouldn't dare to confront Sulina and Jack directly.

then what should we do?

After tossing and turning in his hospital bed all night, the deputy mayor finally came up with a way to get revenge.

The next day, after completing the discharge procedures, the deputy mayor didn't even go to the town government. Instead, he used the most expensive mode of transportation—teleportation magic—to go to Locke City and visit Blue Star Films.

After I identified myself, the receptionist at Blue Star Film and Television was clearly surprised, but she still arranged for the deputy mayor to wait in the lounge and informed Amelie.

"The deputy mayor of Champs-Élysées came to see me? He said he has important intelligence?"

Amelie was also somewhat surprised, but Champs-Élysées was currently the focus of her business plans, and she really couldn't ignore the deputy mayor's visit.

"Okay, Sisi."

So Emerald patted Marcy under her desk:

"Wait a minute... We need to get down to business. Come with me to meet that deputy mayor."

"...Yes, young lady."

Her previously unfocused eyes instantly cleared, and Marcy expertly tidied herself and Emery, quickly transforming back into the elegant and poised maid.

Emerald doesn't receive just anyone in her office; at least the deputy mayor isn't qualified. He can only meet Emerald in the reception room.

"I've met the eldest lady!"

The deputy mayor acted very humbly towards Emerald, not only bowing and scraping upon meeting her, but also not daring to sit opposite her, instead standing with his back bent.

"Um……"

Emerald simply snorted nonchalantly, displaying the arrogance befitting a top-tier heiress:

"I heard you have important information to give me? Tell me... If it's really useful, I won't skimp on your reward. Whether you want a promotion or money, it's all fine."

"Yes, thank you, Miss. I understand."

The deputy mayor bowed and scraped humbly for a while before saying:

"It's like this, Miss... Miss, weren't you planning to build a movie theater in our town? I've received word that someone might try to sabotage it!"

There will definitely be someone sabotaging things behind the scenes; it would be abnormal if there were no talented people around.

Emery thought to herself, but she was still somewhat surprised.

She hadn't expected anyone to deliver intelligence to her, and she was also very curious about what intelligence this deputy mayor possessed.

"Sisi, go and serve the deputy mayor a cup of good tea."

As a result, Emery's attitude improved noticeably, and she became much more serious.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's like this, Miss..."

The deputy mayor first recounted how the Chenguang Dance Troupe was facing financial difficulties due to the impact of the film, and also mentioned how he had taken advantage of Su Lina's vulnerability to blackmail her. Finally, he tearfully recounted his medical expenses from the previous day.

"I know that I'm not a good person, and it would be an eyesore for you, Miss... But that Su Lina is really likely to be a threat to you, Miss!"

"Really? Could it be that you just got beaten up and now want to use me to help you get revenge on that Su Lina?"

Emery seemed somewhat dismissive:

"She has a gang leader as her boyfriend, and you still make those kinds of demands of her. Isn't it normal that you'd get beaten up?"

"Uh... things... things aren't that simple, Miss."

The deputy mayor paused for a moment, then quickly explained:

“Under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn’t dare to mess with that Sulina… Although I’ve been lusting after her body for a long time, not only is she a mage herself, but she also has a gang leader boyfriend. She’s a notorious thorny rose in our town.”

“But this time is different. Her dance troupe is really in trouble, and the seafood gang is also intimidated by the Baihe gang and dares not make any rash moves. This is the best opportunity, so I... I'm not surprised that she would refuse me given her arrogant personality, but it's unacceptable that she would still dare to have someone beat me up.”

“Because Sulina’s dance troupe is facing huge problems, even if she hates me, she doesn’t need to offend me completely in this way… Although I’m just a deputy mayor, I still have some power. I can deliver the final blow to her dance troupe’s demise. For example, I can make all tour groups stop making watching her dance performances a must-do.”

"But she still got someone to beat you up, right?"

Emery yawned and smiled as she took over the deputy mayor's words:

"This means she's no longer afraid of your attacks. The most likely explanation is that she's found a new, powerful backer who can keep her song and dance performances competing with my movie... Hmm, has there been any change in her dance troupe these past few days?"

"Have!"

The deputy mayor nodded quickly:

"The performers of the Morning Light Dance Troupe are generally all young and beautiful girls, most of whom are recent graduates from academies majoring in dance or singing."

"However, apart from the troupe leader Su Lina, the other members have never been very stable. Many singers and dancers have accumulated experience by performing in the town for a year or two. They either get noticed by big shots because of their looks and talents and become their mistresses, or they choose to go to big cities to develop their careers. Only a very few people stay."

"I have a deep impression of those girls who stayed by Su Lina's side... Although I can't remember their names, I remember that they were all girls with a very pure temperament, and they should all have never been touched by a man or even had a relationship."

"But just two days ago, I discovered that the dance troupe had undergone a major overhaul. Su Lina had given all the innocent young girls around her a large sum of money and sent them away. After that, she recruited some young women who looked very energetic as new members. The performance style has also changed a lot, completely transforming from dances that showcase the innocence and vitality of young girls into the kind of seductive dances commonly seen in taverns and brothels."

"I inquired around and found out that Su Lina seems to think that continuing with the original style is not competitive with the movies, so she changed her business strategy... When I first heard this news, I didn't think much of it, but after I got beaten up, I thought about it carefully and realized that this matter is definitely not simple, Miss... There must be something fishy going on here!"

"...I see...Hmm, that makes some sense."

Emery tapped the tea table lightly a few times, then picked up the tea that Marcy had brewed herself, took two small sips, and nodded.

"Good, you did well. I consider you meritorious this time... Tell me, what kind of reward do you want from me?"

"Well... this..."

The deputy mayor immediately beamed with joy:

"Miss, could you please remove the 'deputy' from my title of deputy mayor? The current mayor is supposed to retire at the end of this year, but I'm not the only deputy mayor..."

"This is very simple."

Emery interrupted directly:

"Later, I'll make a magical communication call to our governor, and you should be able to prepare for your succession as mayor early next year... Is there any other reward you want? Your request is too simple; it would make me seem stingy."

"This……"

The deputy mayor was clearly a little surprised, but he was still happy to receive an extra reward.

But what should I want?

After his eyes darted around a few times, the deputy mayor once again controlled the main head with his smaller head, and said with a lewd smile:

"I heard that you have a black market here, Miss, where you sell elven slaves? Could you give me a chance..."

“An elven slave… Hmm, this time it’s about as valuable as your intelligence.”

Emery interrupted the deputy mayor once again:

"Just go directly to Fatty Wei, he'll arrange everything for you... You can pick one when the black market gets its next shipment."

"Thank you, miss!"

The deputy mayor beamed and, seeing that Amelie had no other questions, happily scurried away.

“Sulina…”

Emerald frowned slightly after the deputy mayor left, resting her head against Marcy's soft body and gently rubbing her temples.

"This name seems familiar... Is it someone I knew before?"

Chapter 129 The Fallen Queen of Cabaret

Who exactly is Su Lina?

Emery's first thought was, of course, the original game's plot. After all, the characters who had names in the original game were all quite important and carried a certain destiny, so they had to be taken seriously.

But after careful recollection, Emerald was certain that there was no important character named Surina in the original game.

This is normal. After all, the main characters in the original game, besides pushing the main storyline, were busy practicing water magic and grinding for experience and equipment in the Demon Tide. They didn't have time to go to any resorts, so it's not surprising that they didn't meet any famous figures in Champs-Élysées.

If it's not a character from the original game, but I vaguely remember the name, then the most likely explanation is that it's from the school.

According to the information provided by the deputy mayor, Su Lina is young, beautiful, talented, and a powerful mage, which fits the profile of a graduate of the Federal Noble Women's Academy.

So Emerald began searching through her memories of her college days.

She recalled many romantic encounters with various female seniors and juniors, but couldn't recall anyone who matched the deputy mayor's description... That Su Lina, most likely, hadn't slept with her.

This is a bit difficult, since the total number of students at the Federal Noble Girls' Academy has remained around 1500 for most years. Amelie only remembers her classmates and friends like Judy who are considered investment opportunities, besides the upperclassmen and underclassmen she'd had ambiguous relationships with.

Amelie thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember who Sulina was.

But that's okay, you can ask Pancake about anything related to the academy.

Pancake looks like a fat orange cat with wings, but in reality, it is a highly intelligent magical life form from another world. From a biological point of view, its evolution level is much higher than that of humans. Not only does it have a long lifespan, but its memory ability is also amazing.

In any case, Emery knew very well that the muffin could remember every student it had taught in the academy over the centuries, and asking the muffin about students was absolutely reliable.

So Emerald went back to her office first, and then used the communication magic device to contact Julia, who was out doing her usual good deeds, and asked her to bring back some pancakes for dinner.

Hearing that they could eat, Yulia's already energetic voice became even more enthusiastic, and soon she flew in through the window with pancakes in her arms:

"Where's the food? Where's the food? I'm going to eat the food that Emerald made! I'm going to eat it properly!"

Behind Amelie's office was a lounge area comparable to a luxury apartment, complete with a large bathroom and kitchen. She had already prepared several simple yet delicious dishes, which Julia and Muffin enjoyed to their hearts' content.

After filling her stomach, Julia leaned back in the recliner, took off her shoes, and put her white-stockinged feet on Emerald's desk to begin her midday nap.

After Julia drifted off to sleep, Emerald grabbed the muffin and whispered:

Does the name Su Lina ring a bell?

"Sulina?"

The pancake yawned:

"That's a pretty common girl's name. Among the students I've taught, there are at least 15 or 20 named Su Lina... Do you know what her last name is?"

"do not know."

Emery first shook her head.

She had asked the deputy mayor the same question before, but the deputy mayor didn't know either. Su Lina had only been running the Chenguang Dance Troupe in Champs-Élysées for five or six years, and during that time she always referred to herself as Su Lina and never mentioned her surname.

This is not surprising. Most children who lose their parents at a young age do not have surnames. If Julia had not been adopted by Grandma Dora, she would most likely have been called Julia.

However, children without surnames are absolutely ineligible to attend the Federal Noble Girls' Academy, so Su Lina must have a surname, but she deliberately hid it for some reason.

So Amelie thought for a moment and then said:

"This Su Lina should be a senior of mine, four or five years older than me. She has long blonde hair, a great figure, and is good at singing and dancing... How about it? You should be able to lock onto someone this time, right?"

"Hmm... Su Lina, who is four or five years ahead of you and is good at singing and dancing? There is indeed one. She was quite famous at school back then."

Pancake suddenly remembered, and gave Emerald a strange look:

"But you should know that Su Lina, right? I remember she ran out of your dorm with tears in her eyes before she dropped out of school."

"???"

Amelie was completely baffled.

Yulia, who had just been snoring softly, suddenly sat up, and even Marcy, who was standing behind Emerald as a decorative figure, showed a gossipy expression.

"You fat cat, don't talk nonsense!"

Emery quickly went to pull at the pancake's face:

"I admit my life at the academy was a bit chaotic, but I didn't do it, and I didn't do it! There is absolutely no such person as Su Lina among the upperclassmen and underclassmen I've been involved with! I'm absolutely certain of it!"

"I never said you slept with her... but you definitely humiliated her!"

Pancake, with an unyielding expression, insisted on revealing Emerald's dark history no matter how much Emerald pulled at her face:

"That Su Lina was such a good girl. Not only was she well-mannered, but she also never messed around with other girls at school. She focused on her studies and singing and dancing. In that school, which was practically a QQ space, she could be described as pure as a lotus rising from the mud... In the end, she still got bullied by you, you scumbag!"

"...Tsk."

As Amelie tugged at the cat's face in the pancake, she frowned and continued to think, but she still only had some very vague impressions.

It was something like the president of a small African country that I overheard people talking about on Earth in my previous life. I had some impression of the name, but I just couldn't remember his face or identity.

"So, what is her last name?"

Emerald grabbed a cat's leg, lifted the muffin upside down, and glared at it menacingly, threateningly saying:

"Tell me now! Or I'll marinate all your cat food in my used pantyhose!"
