Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 157 It's not that I dare not, it's just that I'm afraid you'll mind (late update)
The bullet grazed Rachel's ear.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and it was rather unpleasant.

Rachel covered her nose and said with a faint smile, "The gun is good, but the marksmanship is a bit lacking."

Scarlett laughed and said confidently, "I'm a good shot, but not for killing."

"Oh? What's that for?" Rachel asked.

Scarlett walked over to Rachel and handed her the gun, saying, "Use it to save people."

"Rescue?"

Rachel's cold, hard features softened with a smile. She gripped the pistol tightly, slowly raised it, and aimed it at Scarlett's forehead. "Can this really save her?"

Scarlett stared directly at Rachel, her gaze sharp and unwavering. "I think a handgun is worth more than a pair of eyes, and this handgun, with twenty bullets, is unique. On the entire planet B095, only I have it. If you don't believe me, you can shoot it."

"is it?"

Rachel smiled slightly and put her index finger on the trigger.

The small pistol was difficult for her to control at first, and it took her a while to get a firm grip on it.

The moment he gripped it firmly, a murderous intent gathered in his eyes.

"boom!"

The bullet grazed Scarlett's forehead.

The water bucket was right behind her.

The bucket burst open, shattering into countless pieces, and the water inside exploded, splashing everywhere.

"Look, my marksmanship is better than yours."

[Task 3: Please take your beastman with you in a reasonable manner. (5/8)]
……

……

"Scarlett, is it really you?"

Even after arriving at Francis's clinic, Holster still couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Scarlett.

He held her hand tightly, his mind a complete mess.

Even though it was as bright as day around him, he felt as if he were still in darkness.

Only when he held Scarlett's hand did his terrible thoughts improve.

"it's me."

Scarlett leaned her head close to his face and shook it. "Can you see it clearly now?"

He leaned in too close, and Holst's gaze was too focused; they accidentally made eye contact.

His expression was blank and helpless.

Scarlett chuckled and pinched Holster's cheek. "Holster, you're so cute."

Holster paused, then reached out and gently touched Scarlett's face, as if afraid of hurting her. "Scarlett, what happened to your face?"

Scarlett said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'm not in pain."

Holster's thick eyelashes were damp with a thin mist. "Doesn't it really hurt?"

Harrison was smoking outside; there were no outsiders around. Scarlett leaned closer to Holster and whispered, "It's all an act, a lie to them."

"Why lie to them?" Holst also lowered his voice.

Just because there are no outsiders here doesn't mean no one is eavesdropping; he still has basic awareness of security.

"Of course, it's to gain sympathy."

Scarlett cupped her face in her hands and asked, "Don't you think my face looks pathetic right now?"

Scarlett originally had an oval face, but due to the setting of this world, she was somewhat thin, with a pointed chin, making her look like a melon seed face. After experiencing a boxing match, she had dark circles under her eyes, and her cheeks were swollen, turning her face into a large round face.

With her big, watery eyes looking at Holster pitifully, Holster's heart softened, as if melting into cotton candy, sweet and tender.

His gaze hesitated for a moment, then he looked at Scarlett with concern and gently ruffled her slightly disheveled hair. "Your Highness, you've worked hard."

"It's not hard."

Scarlett said nonchalantly, "I am your mistress, and I have a duty to protect you."

It was getting late, and Scarlett was in a hurry to save one more person.

She then took out a miniature pistol and handed it to Holster. "I'll have Ashley come over to take care of you later. Also, Zheko and the others are in the next room. You can chat with them if you're bored."

"it is good."

……

……

Harrison admired Scarlett; she could run around to so many places in one night without getting tired.

The black sedan drove back into the middle of Renton Street.

He couldn't help but ask, "Scarlett, how did you convince Rachel to let you take Holster away?"

He had thought that Scarlett would be injured or lose something, but to his surprise, she came out unharmed and took Holster with her.

Rachel is the most difficult female to deal with on the entire Langton Street.

She was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, ruthless and domineering. Even her great-grandfather had to give her some face.

Her family's Phantom Club was the only shop that her great-grandfather wanted to get involved in, but couldn't.

Scarlett raised her hand and tapped her temple. "Wisdom."

Harrison raised an eyebrow. "Besides this?"

Scarlett feigned mystery, "It's a secret."

Harrison laughed heartily and asked, "So how did you beat Bloom?"

Scarlett's eyes darted around; she knew Harrison would ask that question. She smiled and said, "If I said I figured it out, would you believe me?"

"Calculate it?"

Harrison tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "How do you calculate it?"

"I can't tell you this. It was passed down to me by my father and can't be passed on to outsiders."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Harrison, hearing Scarlett's words, did not press further, turned the steering wheel, and drove to the Manchusa Club.

……

……

Chi Ye doesn't like being in the water at all.

His special ability is fire, and water is his natural nemesis, weakening his combat power.

He has been soaking in the water for almost a month now.

His arms were hanging in mid-air, and his entire body below the neck was submerged in water.

The surging water pressed down on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt that in a few more days, he would be finished.

He was unwilling to give up before seeing Scarlett and wanted to find a way to leave.

only……

His mental energy was blocked, so he couldn't do anything.

When he exerted force with his arm, his whole body felt like it was being electrocuted, and his scalp tingled from the shock.

He's so annoying!
……

……

Compared to the Phantom Club, the Manchusa Club is more like a high-end club.

The furnishings here are exquisite, the decorations are ingenious, and each corner has its own unique charm.

The club has a study, library, tea room, restaurant and entertainment room, which are located on different floors and will not disturb each other.

The first floor is a large dance floor with a circular stage in the center. Different bands come here to sing every day until dawn.

just now.

Scarlett walked into the club.

The ridiculously large dance floor was packed with people, yet the atmosphere was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

The center of the stage was also very clean, with only a table and two chairs placed there.

There were two stoves on the table, and next to each stove was an earthenware pot.
A beautiful female was sitting in a chair, lighting a paper star coin with a lighter and throwing it into the fireplace.

When she saw Scarlett arrive, she smiled and beckoned to her: "Little female, come here."

Harrison introduced her to Scarlett, "This is Mantua, the owner of this shop."

Since he was the boss, Scarlett naturally went over and said, "Hello."

Manchusa lit another star coin and laughed, "I know what you're here for. I won't beat around the bush. Here are two stoves and two earthenware pots. Let's stew soup together. Whoever's soup is ready first wins. If you win, I'll let you take whoever you want. If I win, you stay and play other games with me."

Scarlett looked at the table.

There was no fuel, only a lighter.

This is a bit of a dilemma. Judging from Manchusa's attitude, money is probably their only motivation.

This is really going to cost a fortune.

Luckily it wasn't RMB, otherwise it would have been illegal.

Seeing Scarlett standing still, Manchusa waved the already lit hundred-yuan bill in her hand. "What, you're scared?"

"It's not that I don't dare, it's just that I'm afraid you'll mind."

Scarlett chuckled and took out her own money.

A thick stack, all one yuan each.

Manchusa: "..."
