The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Why is the glove part of your Mystic Code damaged again? Is the enemy very strong this time?"

"No, that enemy was really weak. I punched her away with one punch!"

Yulia first boasted smugly before explaining:

"It's my own problem... After being blessed by you, Emery, with the Kiss of a Saint, my strength has increased a lot. The high heat generated by friction with the air when I punch with all my might seems to be beyond what my gloves can withstand... Maybe I should just get rid of the gloves from my magical armor?"

"How can that be? Lace gloves are so pretty! Yulia, your beauty is more important than anything else!"

Emery immediately waved her hand, her tone leaving no room for refusal:

"It's just that the material strength is not up to par, then we can just replace it with a better material... Leave this to me, I will personally design a new glove for you, Yulia."

"Okay~~~~"

Yulia said she didn't want the gloves anymore, but when she heard that Emeryte would design new gloves for her, she immediately agreed and smiled happily with her eyes narrowed.

Emery also came up with an interesting design.

Yulia is already quite strong, especially her fists. Almost no mage below the Fusion stage can withstand them head-on, so there's little point in using gloves to further enhance her fists.

Since that's the case, why not add some interesting features to the new gloves... It just so happens that Yulia's next battle targets a lot of hot beauties, so we can take this opportunity to give the audience some treats.

. . . . .

Su Lina completely miscalculated this time. It's not even an exaggeration to say that she tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; she lost both her wife and her army.

Her original intention was to have the beauties in black veils ambush and kill tourists on their way to see the movie in Locke City, so as to damage the reputation of Baihe Travel Agency, cause tourists to boycott the movie, and return to see her song and dance performances.

If the attack had succeeded, Sulina might have gotten the effect she wanted, but unfortunately the beauties in black veils failed.

More importantly, Yulia's personal rescue completely reversed the situation.

After enjoying two wonderful days in Locke City, the tourists who were attacked did not utter a single complaint about their experience. Instead, they boasted about it to everyone they met.

The people listening to the story didn't feel scared at all; on the contrary, many of them were filled with envy, wishing they could be attacked on the way and then be rescued by Miss Julia herself.

As a result, more tourists visiting Champs-Élysées are choosing to stop by Lockeville to watch a movie and spend a day or two. White River Travel Agency is booming, so much so that Badis has to request more staff and vehicles from Emerald.

Chapter 138 You Shouldn't Challenge Me on My Stage

Amelie had clearly anticipated the improved business of Baihe Travel Agency. She approved it as soon as Badis submitted her application, and the staff and vehicles were quickly put in place.

Originally, Baihe Travel Agency only had two large crabs and two Magic Power buses, which ran two round trips between Champs-Élysées and Locke City every day.

Now, the number of large crabs and magical buses has increased to eight, and the number of people responsible for driving and escorting is two shifts, making four round trips a day, which is equivalent to expanding the business eightfold.

Even so, daytime buses are almost always full, with only night buses having a dozen or so empty seats on each bus.

To prevent a repeat of the attack where the entire escort team was wiped out at the start, Badis gave her underlings a severe beating and established strict gang rules... Escorts are strictly prohibited from engaging in any recreational activities during missions, with violators facing penalties ranging from broken legs to execution.

Emery is very supportive of this, as this is a critical period for business expansion and it is essential to ensure service quality.

In stark contrast to the booming success of Baihe Travel Agency, the Chenguang Song and Dance Troupe was in dire straits.

After Su Lina replaced all the innocent girls in white stockings in the dance troupe with glamorous beauties in black veils, the troupe's fortunes improved for a few days, but soon things went downhill again, and the situation even worsened.

The beautiful and sexy women in black veils are indeed alluring, but their performance style is actually the same as that of the dancers in bars and brothels, and they are even more expensive.

The longtime viewers were initially excited for a few days, but then they felt that the performances by the women in black veils were not as appealing as those by the pure and innocent girls in white dresses, and gradually they stopped coming.

Needless to say, tourists from out of town come all the way by airship for a vacation, and you show them the kind of striptease you'd find in a local pub? Terrible! Absolutely terrible!

More and more tour groups are simply canceling their cooperation with the Morning Light Opera House, rescheduling the itinerary that should have been allocated to the Morning Light Opera House into other entertainment activities, with going to Locke City to see a movie being the preferred choice. Tour groups that include movie screenings are doing significantly better business than other tour groups.

This has led to a decline in business for the Chenguang Opera House. The grand theater, which can accommodate more than 2000 people, now struggles to attract more than 100 audience members for each performance, half of whom are shills from the seafood industry.

That's not all. The first Blue Star Cinema in Champs-Élysées Town, on Baihe Gang's territory, is also about to be completed. The main building has been finished for a long time, the interior decoration is basically done, and the final debugging of various magic circuits is underway. It is estimated that it will be open in a few days.

It is foreseeable that when people no longer need to travel to Locke City to watch movies, the Morning Light Dance Troupe's performance business will completely decline, and it will most likely be beyond saving and will have no choice but to go bankrupt.

This is what Sulina cannot accept.

After her sister Su Linsa's accident, Su Lina has always had two goals.

The first priority is to revitalize the Bolin family. Su Lina founded the Morning Light Dance Troupe so that one day the Bolin family could once again receive the title of Federation Dance Queen.

The second task is to uncover the truth behind Su Linsa's downfall and prove her innocence. If the truth cannot be uncovered, then Su Lina will use the success of the Morning Light Dance Troupe to forcefully prove—that excellent dancers can indeed achieve success without relying on wealthy patrons.

Regardless of which of the two goals is being pursued, the Morning Light Dance Troupe is crucial, so Su Lina absolutely cannot accept the troupe's demise.

Of course, Sulina could indeed start over somewhere else, just as she had told old Gates.

However, the Morning Light Dance Troupe's previous success had a lot of luck involved, and it also took Su Lina almost 5 years... The youth of dancers is the most precious thing. Even though a master-level mage can greatly extend their lifespan and youth, they don't have many 5-year periods to squander.

That's why Sulina accepted Old Gate's suggestion to take a gamble. She thought that with so much support, her chances of winning were quite high, but she underestimated that scumbag Mao and was no match for him at all.

In fact, Su Lina knew very well that if she wanted to, there were shortcuts to achieving both of her goals.

For example, if they just obediently let the scumbag fans treat them like toys and let them ride on them, the Morning Light Dance Troupe can definitely grow rapidly, and it's not impossible to find out the truth of what happened back then.

But that would be putting the cart before the horse. Even if Su Linsha is truly innocent, doesn't Su Lina's experience prove that dancers need a sugar daddy to succeed?

Sulina's pride wouldn't allow her to do that; she couldn't get over it in her heart. She was determined to fight that scumbag fanboy to the very end! Even though the odds of winning were now extremely slim...

To make matters worse, Su Lina's collaboration with the beauties in black veils has also run into problems.

The fact that the female captain was defeated by Yulia with one punch and then completely disappeared greatly damaged the morale of the Black Veil Beauties. If it weren't for Old Gate's strict order to suppress them, the remaining Black Veil Beauties would probably have already left Champs-Élysées Town and run away.

Although the beauties in black veils haven't run away yet, they're now outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards Sulina, clearly intending to slack off and become slackers, and are unwilling to engage in any direct armed conflict with Amelie's people.

At such a crucial moment, her boyfriend, who had previously said he would go to sea to be quiet, was still nowhere to be found. Su Lina was truly helpless and could only make a last-ditch effort.

At the very least... Blue Star Cinema absolutely cannot be built like this.

. . . . .

Both local residents and tourists in Champs-Élysées have been eagerly anticipating the completion of the cinema for a long time.

Although Locke is close to Champs-Élysées, it's still inconvenient to travel over 100 kilometers just to see a movie. Having its own cinema would be ideal.

But just when the first Blue Star Cinema was about to open, something went wrong.

The version of the truth known to the general public is that the chief engineer in charge of building the Blue Star Cinema made a mistake in designing the internal magic circuit, which led to an accident during the trial. The entire cinema burned to the ground due to the uncontrolled magic circuit, killing dozens of staff members on site.

The version of the truth that Su Lina knew was that a beautiful woman in black veil successfully seduced the chief engineer of Blue Star Cinema. One night, after exhausting the chief engineer to the point of fainting, she secretly modified the chief engineer's magic circuit design drawings and secretly replaced some stable materials with unstable materials, which led to the fire that consumed everything that night.

The version of the truth that Emerald knew, the real truth, was this:

The veiled beauty who seduced the chief engineer of Blue Star Cinema was one of the masked women who participated in the attack on the tourist convoy of Baihe Travel Agency; she was the one who used the excuse of needing to urinate to escape.

She was genuinely terrified by Julia's punch that instantly killed the female captain. That night, she didn't even return to the Morning Light Opera House and tried to run back to Sphinx. She only stopped running after being scolded by Old Gate.

However, this scolding did not restore her confidence; instead, it solidified her resolve to make a certain decision.

She was also tricked by the Art Association back then, which led her to join the Art Association to do dirty work. In addition to earning money, she was also bound by a magical contract with the Art Association.

Her loyalty was forced; she only wanted to live and make money, and now the Arts Association was forcing her to confront Emerald, which she saw as a dead end.

So she gritted her teeth and switched sides.

Three days after she made a hasty escape to pee, she used the excuse of having a hotel room with a target she wanted to seduce to secretly go to Locke City and swear allegiance to Emerald.

Although Emerald looked down on her, since the woman had come to surrender herself, Emerald wouldn't beat her up and kick her out.

Fortunately, Viliana is quite knowledgeable about contract magic. She was able to break the slave contract on Marcy back then, and now with the technical and material support of Emerald, breaking the contract on the woman who pretends to pee will be a piece of cake. She can even keep the Art Association from knowing that the contract has been broken.

Without the constraints of the contract, the new master was clearly more capable. The woman who had escaped to urinate sold out all the information she knew and completely sided with Emerald.

Unfortunately, Emerald had already seen the female captain's memories, so the information the woman who had escaped to urinate was no longer of much value. However, the woman who had escaped to urinate could still be used, so Emerald had her cooperate in putting on a show.

So it's true that the woman who pretended to urinate seduced the chief engineer of Blue Star Film and Television to secretly modify the design drawings and replace the materials for the magic circuits, but everything was part of Emerald's plan. The White River Gang members who were burned to death on site were all stand-ins and dummies; the real ones had all been recalled to Locke City for vacation.

Regardless of the truth, from the outside perspective, this is a major case—the burning of a new building and the deaths of dozens of people.

The Champs-Élysées police department immediately opened an investigation, and the FBI was also eager to investigate.

Many people, whose interests were hindered by the film's development, wanted to secretly sabotage Emerald, but even more wanted to curry favor with the Melson family by ingratiating themselves with Emerald. Now that such a major incident had occurred at Emerald's cinema, many wanted to make a move.

Their idea was good, but they were too slow to act.

While the Champs-Élysées police chief was still personally leading a search for clues in the fire ruins, Julia had already come knocking on the door demanding a solo visit to the Morning Light Opera House.

Yulia was unaware of the truth about this plan; she believed that dozens of people had indeed been burned to death in the fire last night.

Although most of the members of the Shirakawa Gang aren't exactly good people, Yulia had promised to help Amelie protect the movie theater, and this incident is a slap in the face to her.

Yulia couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to beat Sulina to her knees immediately, grab her, and hand her over to Amelie for a proper correction.

Sulina had no idea that Yulia would be so reckless. While she was still planning how to deal with the investigations from all sides, Yulia had already come knocking on her door.

"Where's Su Lina? Come out here!"

Yulia rarely even goes to her own company, let alone goes there to fight.

She flew directly above the Morning Light Opera House, then swooped down, smashing through the opera house's dome with her body. As building materials fell, she hovered above the stage, yelling at Su Lina to come out.

Sulina came out quickly, already dressed in her magical costume, followed by the remaining beauties in black veils.

Apart from the missing female captain and the woman who ran away to pee, the remaining 12 beauties in black veils were all present. Two of them, who were at the Control level, had changed into magical costumes, while the rest of the beauties in black veils were all dressed in one-piece silk outfits that were convenient for combat.

Sulina's magical costume is quite beautiful. It's a set of metal plate armor, and combined with her tall and voluptuous figure and stern expression, she looks just like a female knight from a picture book.

However, at this moment, as the female knight looked at the large hole in the dome of her opera house, her already cold expression became even more unpleasant:

"You call this a hero? Can't you even use a door?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm asking you a question now!"

Yulia completely ignored Sulina's accusations about etiquette; her emerald eyes were equally filled with anger.

"Why did you vandalize the movie theater? Why did you burn so many innocent people alive? A ruthless and vicious woman like you, your sister must not be clean either! She must have done too many bad things back then to get her comeuppance!"

"you……!"

Su Lina was furious. She hated it when people brought up her sister's past, as it was like rubbing salt into her wounds.

Julia wouldn't normally do such a thing, but as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company." After being around Emery for so long, although she still wouldn't do anything bad, she had learned quite a few sharp-tongued techniques.

Sulina wanted to capture Yulia immediately and beat her to death, but that would be tantamount to admitting that the fire last night was her conspiracy. She didn't want to admit it so quickly and wanted to keep struggling.

So after the breastplate of that magical armor heaved violently a few times, Sulina forcibly suppressed her anger and simply asked with a cold face:

“You need evidence to speak, Miss Julia… What evidence do you have to prove that the fire was related to me?”

"I have no evidence, but I know you did it... The police need evidence to arrest people, but I'm not a policeman!"

Yulia stared at Sulina without flinching, rubbing her hands together in anticipation.

"Right now, all I want to do is beat you up and drag you back for interrogation! If it really has nothing to do with you, I'll apologize properly and have Emery compensate you. But if you did it... then you really need to correct this dangerous mindset!"

"You... are good! Good! Good!"

Su Lina laughed in anger:

"I used to think you were a true hero, someone who valued fairness and justice, but now it seems you're nothing more than that woman's oversized pet... I'm so disappointed in you, Julia!"

Whether you're disappointed in me or not is completely irrelevant!

Yulia looked completely unconcerned.

"I am everyone's hero, and I will never let you down... But when you committed the heinous act of burning down the movie theater, you were no longer one of us, Sulina! Behave yourself and let me correct you!"

With things having come to this point, there was no possibility of further negotiations between the two sides, and the next step was to take action.

Su Lina's original plan was to have the beauties in black veils cooperate with her, and with the advantage of the venue, her chances of winning were still very high.

Unexpectedly, the moment the two broke down in their conversation, the beauties in black veils exchanged a glance and then charged towards Yulia with shouts. Their formation was scattered and completely uncoordinated, and the attack magic they used seemed more like a perfunctory response.

"Hmph, a bunch of small fry!"

Yulia flicked her golden twin ponytails, her face full of disdain, and directly confronted the attack head-on.

Bang!

"Ah~~"

Snapped!

"Ah~~~"

puff!

"Ugh~~"

Almost every time Yulia threw a punch or a kick, a beautiful woman in black veiled clothing rushing towards her would be sent flying, her clothes almost completely shattering in mid-air before she would fall to the ground in a grotesque manner, unable to get up again.
