Chapter 37 Don’t be happy, your good days are over.
Daybreak is coming.
The closer it gets to dawn, the darker the night becomes. The gloomy black covers the entire sky, so thick that not a single light can be seen.
Riley and Dzeko had a tense conversation all night, and the way they looked at each other at the end was as sharp as poison.
Riley admitted that he provoked Sylvia, but he never intended to kill Scarlett.
Dzeko also admitted that he knew about Riley's temptation, so he gave Scarlett a push when she was in danger.
They have the same purpose.
They are all using their own methods to verify whether Scarlett is worthy of a chance.
The only twist is that Sevilla has a mental breakdown.
The mental breakdown of an A-level male in a low-level area was, in their view, an extremely absurd thing.
Even though the environment of the Lost Continent is special and the air is filled with toxins that can charm the mind, he shouldn't be so fragile.
Dzeko suspected that Riley wanted to kill to silence him.
Whether it is the recent change in Sevilla's attitude towards Scarlett, or the resentful words Scarlett said when she left Sevilla's territory.
All of this was enough to make Riley think about it and take ruthless action.
Riley was the first among the eight of them to propose killing Scarlett, and he was also the one who planned the public opinion on Star Network.
He hated Scarlett more than anyone else.
Riley understood Dzeko's look, and his smiling face, which had been smiling all night, became a little stiff. He put away his smile and stared at Dzeko for a few seconds. As if remembering something, he suddenly said, "By the way, have you heard of the legend of the mermaids?"
"The legend of the mermaids?" Zheke was stunned, not knowing how the topic got to this.
Riley hummed, looked out the window at the night, and said lightly: "Mermaids, also known as mermen, have two souls in one body, one soul is weak and the other is strong. When in danger, they change and become ferocious and brutal."
Dzeko pondered this for a moment, then sneered, "It's just a legend. You're not trying to use that as an excuse to fool Scarlett, are you?"
"Don't worry, Scarlett won't pursue it."
Riley narrowed his eyes, half smiling, his eyes surprisingly gentle. "Hasn't her act of putting aside past grudges to save Sylvia already shaken your and Chiye's opinion of her? Scarlett is very smart now. She knows this matter is beneficial to her, and she won't pursue it further."
Dzeko narrowed his eyes, a hint of sharpness hidden in them. "Who said I was wavering?"
Riley looked back at him gently. "A month ago, you acquired an SS-class aircraft from the Lost Continent. Using it to cross that gravel road is much safer than carrying it on your back. Isn't that right, Major Zheke?"
Dzeko was silent.
…
…
Scarlett rested for two days at Herda Palace, enjoying good food and drink.
Day 3.
She organized the beast husbands to go to the Lost Continent again.
As Riley said, Scarlett didn't care about what happened before.
The reason is the same as he said.
Scarlett has read the relevant information about the beastly husbands and understands the plot. She knows who hates her the most and who is the most vicious.
She kept an eye on the changes that happened in Sevilla after she entered the Lost Continent.
I had speculated early on that it was related to Riley.
Riley, his special ability is to deceive people and he is good at playing power games.
It was hard for Scarlett not to be suspicious.
So when Sevilla has a mental breakdown, she will go to save him without hesitation.
Regardless of whether she can save him or not.
Attitude is the most important thing.
She was willing to take risks to save someone who wanted to kill her.
This is undoubtedly an announcement to everyone that the vicious female Scarlett has really changed for the better.
Riley and his men were plotting to frame the princess for a capital crime, which was like walking on a tightrope. If they weren't careful, they would be crushed to pieces and their family would suffer a tragic end.
They wanted to kill the princess because she was vicious and would be tortured to death if she did not resist.
Now the princess is no longer vicious.
Then they don't need to take any risks.
The fact that Riley used Sylvia to kill him was enough to prove that they wanted to know how she would deal with someone who wanted to kill her.
To kill, to save, or to intensify the torture as before.
Furthermore.
Scarlett didn't believe that with her E-level mental power she could really save Sylvia.
So this is a complete innings.
Judging from the current results, Scarlett guessed right.
This time when we went to the Lost Continent, everyone was very harmonious and looked more and more like a family. Everyone did their job, focused on killing monsters, and quickly cleared the leveling area in two days.
Thanks to the success guru.
The final reward is a bit exaggerated.
Five people all drew first-level Lingbai, with the maximum being ten and the minimum being two.
I feel so sad.
…
…
Scarlett is obsessed with leveling up and goes to the Lost Continent every day she has off.
Although the rewards are as lame as ever, she is still very good at it.
After three visits.
Scarlett's mental strength has reached level D, and she can go to the intermediate area to level up.
There was also good news about the ancient Ming grass she planted. It had one bud and two leaves, and it had split into two plants. There was only one day left before it could be successfully cultivated.
Meaning.
One day later, she will be able to harvest two ancient Ming grasses that have long been extinct in the interstellar space.
It’s really a double blessing.
This day.
Scarlett just returned from the Lost Continent.
I haven't caught my breath yet.
Lilia hurried over and said anxiously, "Your Highness, something bad has happened. Captain Holst was attacked by Zerg at the training ground. His spiritual consciousness has been severely damaged. He urgently needs comfort and is on his way back."
When people are happy, there is always a loud slap in the face to wake them up and tell them to stop being happy because their good days are over.
This is Scarlett's current situation.
If Riley was rescued by Sophia, it laid the foundation for the original owner's fate of being exiled.
Holst's injury was a drastic measure that sealed her fate.
Hortes was injured and his spiritual consciousness was severely damaged, and he urgently needed comfort.
This news was insignificant to the original owner, who didn't take it seriously at all and watched him transform back into a beast, losing control and hurting people.
She couldn't comfort her beastly husband, nor did she allow anyone else to comfort him. She didn't even give him any sedatives, allowing him to self-harm during his breakdown.
If Sophia hadn't appeared in time.
Hortes' life was over.
Hortes was injured for the empire, but the princess of the empire didn't care about his life or death.
When the people heard the news, they were extremely angry, and demonstrations and impeachment incidents broke out one after another.
Scarlett was a little panicked.
She remembered this plot not happening so early.
It should be that Holst came back from the training ground and led the star fleet to patrol the interstellar space when he encountered the Zerg attack.
Why is the plot advanced?
Could it be related to her?
Is there a butterfly effect?
During this time, she kept thinking about this incident and tried to contact Holst.
But Holst was at the training ground, so the message was blocked and could not be sent at all.
She was still thinking about not being in a hurry and waiting for Holst to come back and remind him to pay attention.
Now it's early, and she is not prepared at all.
There is no other way, just go ahead with it.
Scarlett suppressed her panic, looked at Lilia calmly, and instructed, "Hortes was injured for the Empire, which is truly heroic. Unfortunately, my mental strength cannot comfort him. He does not need to come back. Let him go directly to the Royal Hospital. I will cover all expenses."
