Chapter 171 Open a shop and grab business!
At this point, all the tasks are explained!
They cannot be exposed, only Scarlett can save them.
Scarlett took the beastly husband away reasonably.
It looks ordinary, but the difficulty is set, which makes people not think that this is an inevitable trap.
"So, we exposed Scarlett?" Ashley looked at the whiteboard with a blank look in her eyes.
Scarlett glanced at him and said magnanimously, "Even without you, I would have been exposed."
"Why?" Ashley shifted his gaze and looked at Scarlett.
"My name."
Scarlett pursed her lips helplessly.
Her name is so long, combining her mother's and grandmother's names, plus the royal surname, it's hard not to make contestants guess who she is.
Ashley was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
His slave certificate also had his full name on it.
Ashley Daldry.
Exactly the same.
In fact, Scarlett doesn't care whether she is exposed or not.
Without mental power, the ring space cannot be used. In this world, everyone is just like ordinary people, but she has a system space, which can be regarded as using cheats to compete with other contestants without suffering any losses.
Scarlett thought for a moment and said, "I agree with Riley. We now have two options: one, find the wanted criminal. Two, wait 120 days. Which one do you choose?"
Mo Ting stared, "I choose the first one and go straight to the 12 wanted criminals. Even if there's no mission weight, we'll be safer if we can solve this one."
Holst also said: "Time is crucial for us. It is related to the progress of the rest of the game. We should quickly resolve the game at this stage. Let's choose the first one."
"But they have mental powers, and we can't deal with them." Brian expressed his concerns.
"Mental power is indeed terrifying, but there is a solution."
Dzeko said calmly, "Remember the giant we encountered in the last round? The area between his eyebrows is the orc's most vulnerable spot. As long as we keep attacking this spot, we can cause a certain degree of shock to his mental strength, making it difficult for him to concentrate and causing him to collapse."
Ashley touched his brow and nodded thoughtfully.
Dzeko glanced at everyone and said, "This can be left to me, Holst, Chiye, and Mo Ting."
They have all served in the army and received systematic training. Even without mental power, they can still stand on their own and deal with the orcs.
Holst and Chiye responded in unison: "Yes."
Mo Ting was unhappy with Dzeko's command, but he didn't want to cause any conflict at this time. He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Don't worry, I can handle two of them without any problem."
"But there are twelve of them." Brian was still frowning.
"So, we not only have to lure them out, but also divide them." Riley proposed a new plan.
"Lure?" Chi Ye glanced at Riley in shock. "How? They're wanted criminals. Who would show up so easily?"
Riley didn't answer, but looked at Scarlett, his dark green pupils keenly observing everything. "That depends on Scarlett."
When these words were spoken, the others were stunned.
Terran looked at Scarlett silently, his brows half-furrowed.
Scarlett liked the look in Riley's eyes at that moment. He truly regarded her as a teammate fighting side by side with him, rather than a princess who was high above him.
She smiled, circled the word "Harrison" with a pen, and said, "Like I said, Harrison has his own selfish motives, and several of the owners of Langton Street are also at odds with Murgaard. We can take advantage of this and build another commercial street near Langton Street. Copy the same pattern and steal all the business."
"Why do you want to rob?" Tai Lun asked.
Scarlett said, "If Langton Street was truly their base, and if it had always been peaceful and prosperous, raking in millions of dollars, why would the twelve wanted criminals take the initiative to stir up trouble and expose themselves? Something must have affected their interests, which is why they took such an extreme action."
"So you want to be this person?" Terran's eyebrows moved slightly.
Scarlett's eyes showed determination, "Yes!"
"What if they're not here?" Ashley asked nervously.
“If they weren’t here, we’d get their attention.”
Scarlett said quietly, "They're financial criminals, using capital to sabotage operations and amass fortunes. They seem to prefer doing business to fighting and killing. They're definitely looking to grab a piece of the action from this emerging commercial street."
"Scarlett, do you have so much money?" Brian asked.
"Yes." Scarlett said firmly.
"There is another issue that deserves attention."
Holst said: "Mergaard made his fortune ten years ago, and the wanted criminal escaped from prison six months ago. The time doesn't match."
"The information about wanted criminals may be wrong," Dzeko said.
Zheke's father is an interstellar detective who is specifically responsible for the pursuit. Although the wanted information is released to the entire galaxy, the galaxy is so large that it is difficult to cover it comprehensively. Some backward planets cannot receive all the information completely, and there will be information lags.
Besides, this was the world a hundred years ago.
"Another possibility is that there are people like them in the police station."
Scarlett thought of Louisa and expressed her guess.
When everyone heard this, their eyes gradually deepened.
Scarlett smiled slightly and said, "I know how to confirm Louisa's identity!"
Open a shop!
Go find it on the black market!
She would buy them from wherever Mo Ting and the others were sold.
Brian poked Scarlett's arm. "You mean, you want to use the list of trafficked people to find their female masters?"
"right."
"But Scarlett, haven't you overlooked one thing? Others know you because you are the princess of the empire. But if you don't know others, how can you find them?"
Scarlett glanced at him and grabbed Riley's arm, "You underestimate Riley."
She looked at Riley and raised her chin, "Riley, tell him who Louisa's beastly husbands are."
Riley laughed and called out the names as he was told, "Karev, Kunle, Ruta,..."
Eight names came out of his mouth, leaving Brian stunned.
"No way, you can even remember this?" Chi Ye sighed beside him.
Riley said, "I've been sorting through the contestants' information lately and writing them down so I can better understand myself and my opponent and deal with them more easily."
"etc."
Mo Ting found something suspicious, "There is no Krexiu."
Riley nodded, "Indeed, her beastly husband doesn't have Kress."
Scarlett frowned, "I thought Cresh was one of the beastly husbands she wanted to rescue."
"Is she really a native?" Ashley hesitated.
Scarlett also had such doubts.
But her intuition told her that Louisa was not simple.
Since she couldn't figure it out now, she didn't dwell on it. Regardless of whether Louisa was a native or not, as long as no one attacked her, she wouldn't take the initiative to hurt others. Everyone should just do their own tasks and not disturb each other.
…
…
In a blink of an eye, it was already late.
Scarlett finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped in a towel. Water droplets fell down her hair, leaving several water marks on her pajamas.
Scarlett pursed her lips, walked to Holst, and turned her back to him, "Help me blow dry my hair."
There is a small hair dryer in my hand.
Holst smiled and replied, "Okay."
He untied the towel, put down Scarlett's hair, dried it strand by strand, let it hang naturally on her shoulders, and then blew it dry with a hair dryer.
"alright."
He rubbed Scarlett's hair to make sure it was free of moisture before putting away the hair dryer.
Scarlett lay down under the quilt, "Sleep?"
Holst stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
There was the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Scarlett listened quietly.
Maybe she was too tired these days and didn't get enough rest, so she fell asleep in a short while.
Holst walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, looked at Scarlett sleeping, and kissed her forehead, "Good night, Your Highness."
