The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Having said this, the girl's gaze slowly fell on Nailan, who was like a sculpture.

“Based on this, it is impossible for Mr. Anser to let me know nothing about the situation in the Western Country. He must have ordered that the intelligence be passed on to me.

"Since it's only the second day, I can't notice this problem, but since Mr. Anser brought Ms. Naylan here, it means that Ms. Naylan... is unwilling to hand over the information about Shadow Swamp to me. No... you will definitely not act on impulse and go against Mr. Anser's wishes. You will find another way to realize your ideas."

What was Naylan thinking? It was easy for Marina to guess.

——She did not think she had the ability to handle affairs for Anser, nor did she think she was qualified for this position, so she was unwilling to hand over the key intelligence obtained by Shadow Swamp and many other affairs to Marina.

So, how can we hand over these matters to his "secretary" without going against Ansel's wishes?

Of course there is only one answer.

Marina lowered her eyes slightly and said in a faint voice:

"Ms. Naylan, do you want to... replace me?"

——As long as she becomes Ansel's secretary, she will be able to handle all kinds of affairs perfectly for Ansel. The woman kneeling on one knee in front of her definitely thinks so.

That's why Mr. Anser brought me here. He wanted Ms. Naylan to see my abilities.

In less than a day, Mr. Anser took care of the problem himself...

When it comes to the crucial issue, there was no waiting or sitting back. Before Marina could even react and realize that she had been "blacklisted" by Shadow Swamp, Ansher had already noticed that something was wrong with Nailan and directly pulled her over to deal with her.

Marina admired and was grateful for Ansher's efficiency and decisiveness. She admired that even though Ansher didn't supervise everything all the time, he could see everything clearly at a glance; she was grateful that even in this situation, Ansher still chose her instead of his old subordinates who had followed him for a long time.

But Marina knew very well that Ansel would not be able to convince Naylan in this way.

"That is not enough, my Lord."

Sure enough, the girl heard Nairan's slightly hoarse voice: "To handle all this for you, this kind of 'smartness' alone is far from enough. If you need a secretary, I can serve you. If not me, you should choose a member of Shadow Swamp."

Yes, it's not enough, Marina whispered in her heart.

When she was chatting with Anser, she didn't notice that Naylan was right behind them. In fact, if Anser hadn't said that the worker bees had been following them for a while, she wouldn't have known that they had been targeted.

Marina Lancemalos is not a supernatural being, and this alone is enough to negate everything about her.

But at this moment, Marina did not feel much anger in her heart when facing Naylan who wanted to deny her and even replace her - even though she had spent a lot of effort to get this position.

Because if Naylan was replaced by herself, Marina would make the same choice as her - how could she hand over such a heavy responsibility to a guy who was not even a transcendent? Even if Anser was still the one in charge of everything, no matter what, this position should not be held by a mortal who was only slightly "smart".

Marina even had some respect for... Naylan's courage.

"This is a decision I made personally, Naylan." Anser looked down at the woman who remained in a kneeling position without any change, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Are you going to disobey me? Just because of your 'self-righteousness'?"

"Because you have never been a tyrant who insists on having your own way."

Naylan only raised his head at this moment and stared into Anser's eyes: "What you want is never a blind obedient person."

Blind...compliance.

Yes, I also know that such a position cannot be entrusted to a mere mortal, and I would have the same idea as Ms. Naylan.

But can I be as rebellious as her and go against Mr. Anser's wishes when faced with the decision he has already made?

Marina's mind was a little dazed. That day, her sister's resolute words and determined expression... seemed to be still before her eyes.

While she was distracted, Anser and Naylan looked at each other for a few seconds, then shook their heads helplessly and sighed softly:

"I'm beginning to wonder if I've been a little too indulgent with you guys."

Although he said this, he did not show much objection.

"You've seen it, Marina." The young Hydra turned to look at the dazed girl beside him, "If all the information about Shadow Marsh is given directly to me without going through you, then your secretary is almost useless. And Nalan's consideration does make sense."

He spread his hands: "What do you think we should do?"

"I……"

Marina came back to her senses and was silent for a moment, then looked down at Naylan, her eyes gradually becoming determined.

"Ms. Naylan," Marina said very seriously, "What should I do to make you accept me?"

"It's not me, it's the entire Shadow Swamp."

Naylan looked at Marina expressionlessly: "Since the Lord has given us this task, we will not let it pass through the hands of the garden."

Marina was stunned for two seconds, then asked in disbelief: "You...you guys, are you concerned about this?"

"Of course it's more than that. As a mortal, this is your biggest limitation. As for the difference between the Garden and Shadow Swamp... Do you think we are just fighting among ourselves?"

The woman sneered: "The struggle does exist, but the fundamental reason is that the styles of Shadow Marsh and Garden have nothing in common. In fact... they even exclude each other."

"Growing up in a garden, you are destined to be a bad at this job, even if you become a transcendent, Miss Lotus."

……lotus.

After that simple test, Naylan also ridiculed Marina with "Lotus".

A nameless anger surged in Marina's heart.

She can always recognize and accept reality, but that doesn't mean she will never feel any grievances or anger.

She could just...accept it.

Those emotions will never disappear out of thin air, but it takes a long time to swallow and digest them with great difficulty, hiding in a corner where you are alone.

Whether it was the garden or the Shadow Swamp... everyone was looking down on him.

He asked for permission to enter the archives and adjusted the flow of time to such an exaggerated degree. Could it be that Rhine couldn't detect any trickery at all?

It's not that it couldn't notice it, it just simply thought that Marina didn't have the ability or the courage to do it.

Shadow Marsh is more straightforward—you just can’t do it.

This group of people have reasons to do so and have such capital, but does that mean they are really useless?

If she just wanted to be a transcendent, she would have been one long ago. But what she wanted was never just transcendence, but the position closest to Anser.

"Ms. Naylan." Marina's voice gradually turned cold. "That's not what I want to hear. I just want to know what it will take for Shadow Marsh to hand over the information that Mr. Anser needs to me."

"No way," Naylan answered without a second thought, "You'll mess everything up, and we won't watch that happen."

"Just take care of the master's food and daily life. You don't need to interfere with other matters."

Marina's knuckles turned white from the excessive force she exerted in her clenched fists.

She had no room to negotiate with Naylan. This kind of unchallengeable superiority made the girl's chest surge with a never-before-seen... anger.

Even if you become a superhuman, you won't be able to handle things on your own?

Why?

"So, you sent the people to Neverland?"

At the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild [Hive], the worker bees are reporting the situation to their boss.

The leader of the hive [Queen Bee] is a gorgeous mature woman. At this moment, she is stepping on a man with her other leg raised. She said slowly: "How does he look?"

"Top notch." The worker bee gave a thumbs up. "My vision is never wrong, don't worry, boss."

"Have you checked the identity?"

"It's hard to check. It's another guy who calls himself Faust."

"... Oh, another Faust."

The Queen Bee sneered, "How many Fausts is this this month?"

"Uh, six... no, seven, or eight? I forgot, but this one is definitely better than the previous ones."

"Have you tried it?" the woman asked casually.

"I tried it before I knew his name. He was at the beginning of the fourth level, maybe the fifth level. But he didn't chop my head off the first time, so it's definitely not Faust."

"Level 5? Level 5 pretending to be Faust to visit a prostitute?"

Queen Bee couldn't help laughing and said, "Marsh, don't be too imaginative. Just introduce him to our friends. By the way, Bayepop..."

Before she finished her words, the crystal on the table suddenly flickered.

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and snapped her fingers, and the crystal stone projected a tall, thin and pale woman holding a pipe, wearing dark eye shadow and scarlet lips.

"Isn't this my sister, the Serpent Servant?" Queen Bee smiled charmingly, "Why did you contact me all of a sudden?"

"The guy that the worker bees brought."

The woman whom the Queen Bee called "Servant Snake" said coldly: "He killed two people and ran away."

The queen bee's expression suddenly froze, and the worker bees were also stunned.

What made their expressions even more exciting was Serpent Servant's next words:

"One is yours, and the other is Bayepop's. You decide what to do."

The projection disappeared, and the queen bee slowly turned her gaze to the pale face of the worker bee.

"You said he didn't kill you then?"

Chapter 6: The Country Girl's Rules for Making Friends (K)

There are three large adventurer guilds stationed in Strife Castle.

They are the [Hive] of the Queen Bee, Yaper Semel; the [Executioner] of the Black Omen, Kabosa Pente; and the [Howling Legion] of Bayepop Leos, the Lord of the Castle of Strife, who is known as the "Howling Chaos".

Regardless of whether they are permanent residents of Strife Castle or those who come here for some purpose, they all know a common understanding of Strife Castle, which is that no matter what, they must not provoke adventurers from these three guilds.

Even if you are a famous hereditary noble, if you don't have enough strength, you have to bow your head when you come here.

But today, someone was so audacious as to slap two of the guilds in the face at the same time.

What is even more incredible is that the perpetrator actually... left a "handle".

Queen Bee Yaper arrived at Neverland as soon as possible. This best brothel in the Castle of Strife had no customers at the moment, and the air was filled with a chilling sense of danger.

"That's her?"

Yaper turned her head to look at the tall, thin woman with sunken cheeks beside her, and frowned slightly: "You said that guy killed two people and suddenly ran away...but he left his servants behind?"

She stared at the biggest prostitute in Strife Castle, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Sister Servant Snake, are you serious?"

Yapper hated this woman and always wanted to find an opportunity to kill her.

This guy who calls himself Servant Snake came to Strife Castle about half a year ago. It took him only two months to monopolize the prostitution market in Strife Castle... This piece of cake was originally the private domain of the Hive.

The profits of the erotic industry far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and high-end brothels have many added values ​​that are more beneficial than money, but the Hive was defeated by the Serpent Servant in the local battle. Baye Pop did not make a statement, probably because the Serpent Servant gave too much.

The servant snake, breathing out smoke, glanced at Yaper and said, "Where's the worker bee? Can't we just let him identify it?"

"He needs to rest for a while."

Yaper sneered, then turned her attention back to the thin adventurer who was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea calmly.

She could tell at a glance that this guy was a woman, and she could also tell at a glance that she was absolutely calm and composed.

"He killed someone on your territory, and you treat his servants like this?"

This indifference made Yaper's eyes twitch slightly. She stared at the tomboy-dressed girl in front of her, and a dangerous and ferocious curve gradually appeared on her face.

"You're being too polite, Sister Serpentine."

"Because he told the girl to wait here before he left."

Servant Snake indifferently exhaled a thick white smoke and said in a hoarse voice: "He dared to kill your people, so would he not dare to kill me?"

"Ms. Snake is right."

The girl placed the teacup on the small table next to the sofa and said with a smile, "I hope you will also think about it calmly, ma'am."

"Calm down... and think?"

Yapper was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter. She pointed at Marina, then turned to look at Serpent Servant, with an expression of great joy on her face:

"Look, look...Sister Serpent, we were advised by a mortal, advised by a mortal to 'calm down'."

The Queen Bee walked up to Marina and looked at her like she was examining some extremely rare treasure. She said with great emotion, "This is truly... an unprecedented experience."

Servant Snake shook his pipe expressionlessly: "If you want to do anything to her, do it quickly, don't waste my time."

"I didn't ask you to stay."

"But Ms. Snake must guarantee that it was you who did that to me. Otherwise, how can she explain to Mr. Faust?"
