Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life
Chapter 75 The Counterattack of the Useless Sister from the Magical City (28 chapters)
The scene was in chaos because Matthew was injured, and only three people stood calmly to the side watching.
Needless to say, those three were from the Magic Association.
The two thieves who broke into Gale's house to steal were tied up and left unattended.
They tried to escape, but Qiu Tong discovered them. She quietly took Brenda over and hypnotized the two thieves when they weren't paying attention.
Fitz originally wanted to go along, but Qiu Tong stopped him and asked Fitz to help cover for her.
As long as he stays put and doesn't move, the Gale family will continue to keep their eyes on Matthew.
But once Fei Zi makes a move, those with ulterior motives will immediately target him, thus sabotaging what Qiu Tong is currently doing.
Qiu Tong had Brenda ask them what they had stolen, and then make them hand it over.
Then, under Brenda's incredulous gaze, he openly and honestly took the things that the other party had taken out of his space and put them directly into his own space.
Qiu Tong didn't have time to think about that; it seemed Matthew had already finished his treatment.
Qiu Tong could only quickly collect the stolen goods and at the same time have Brenda give instructions to the two men to forget what had just happened and that they had stolen the goods.
Brenda knew that if things were exposed, she would not fare well either, so she immediately followed instructions.
At the same time, I was extremely curious and wanted to know where Qiu Tong had stored all the stolen goods.
However, upon seeing that one of the thieves was a space-type mage, Brenda imagined that Qiu Tong also possessed space-type magic.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea, because everyone knows that each person can only practice one type of magic.
Everyone in the association knows what kind of magic Qiu Tong is.
Now she has gained another ability: to make objects disappear. How does this happen?
While Brenda was still lost in thought, Qiu Tong had already pulled him back to where he had been standing.
She happened to be positioned right behind Fetz, and because Fetz's large size blocked her view, the people in front of Fetz didn't see anything and assumed that Qiu Tong had been staying behind Fetz the whole time.
Brenda's location was relatively secluded, and no one noticed him, which made it easier for Qiu Tong and him to commit their crimes.
After the doctor arrived and confirmed that Matthew was alright, Yuna stood up and started yelling at Fitz.
"What's wrong with you? What does my family's business have to do with you? Why did you hurt my son?"
Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a level five mage. I'll report you to the Magic Association, and you'll be fired.
Ursula's words were more polite, but they were still full of threats.
"Young man, don't think the association will protect you. We will pursue this matter to the end."
Ursula spoke these words with a gloomy face.
Fitz hates being threatened the most, and he's not afraid of the other party causing trouble in the association. This whole thing was Gale's fault.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan. From the moment he entered the Gale house, he turned on the video recorder he had tricked George into giving him.
The video recorder was shaped like a necklace and worn over Fitz's black robe, making it look like an accessory.
Moreover, ordinary scanners cannot identify it as a video recorder.
In the technologically advanced magical city, most large families have a scanner installed in front of their gates to monitor whether anyone is bringing dangerous items into their homes.
Sensitive devices like video recorders are definitely not allowed to be brought into the home by outsiders.
The instrument George made was certainly not an ordinary instrument, so it could naturally evade the scanner's detection.
These images can be used as evidence to prove that Fitz intervened for the sake of the association's reputation.
From the beginning, Fitz emphasized that Matthew had insulted the association, which was the intention of guiding people in that direction. So, those who saw the recorded footage would think that Matthew had insulted the association first.
This way, even if the evidence is presented to the council, there's no fear of them turning the tables on you.
The highest leadership position in the magical city is held by the council, which acts like a courtroom, allowing conflicting parties to confront each other.
Whichever side has the best reason and evidence wins.
Otherwise, with so many powerful families and magic associations in the magic city at odds, there would have to be a place to arbitrate these matters, and the council is such a place.
The reason why the council is considered to have the highest leadership position is that any decision in the magic city must be submitted to the council for adjudication, and individual families and the magic association have no decision-making power.
The evidence that Qiu Tong has just obtained can be submitted to the council as strong evidence to bring down the Gale family.
However, she will not do so for the time being; she has other uses for this evidence.
After saying those words, Ursula still shamelessly continued to demand that Brenda do the work.
After Brenda made a perfunctory phone call to the association to ask for instructions, she offered her help.
Ursula thought it was because she had a lot of face and the association was giving her face, so she looked at Qiu Tong and Fei Zi with a provocative look.
He didn't know the association had other plans. The association was known for protecting its own, and it wouldn't let Ursula bully it.
The current inaction, allowing Brenda to continue working, is also a way of settling scores with the Gale family later.
Besides, business is business. The Gale family did pay the association to do the work, so the association naturally couldn't do anything to damage its reputation.
At this point, Qiu Tong no longer insisted on apologizing. She was eager to end the matter quickly so she could go back and study the evidence and embezzled funds she had just obtained, and see how she could use them.
She also needs to come up with a reason to cover up the fact that she took the stolen goods out of thin air.
When Fetz saw that Qiu Tong stopped talking, he didn't insist anymore, because he still had the video recording, which he could use to trick the Gale family later.
Ursula and Yuna assumed their silence meant the threat had worked and were secretly pleased with themselves.
In the end, they naturally couldn't get anything out of them. Brenda had already given instructions, so how could the thieves give any testimony that would be detrimental to the association?
Ursula and Yuna looked grim upon hearing the thief's confession. After all that trouble, it turned out they weren't involved at all.
Worried about where their stolen goods had gone, they did not try to stop Brenda when she said she was leaving.
They needed to hurry and find the real thief, as they had no idea where he had escaped to.
They also need to check all the surveillance cameras in the house to see how many thieves came to the house that night.
Brenda's car, carrying Qiu Tong and Fetz, passed right by the car of the Gale family elders.
When the elders of the Gale family received news that Mary had come to the main house, they hurriedly came to intercept her, but unfortunately they were too late.
When they saw the messy house, they thought something had happened to Mary and rushed into the Gale house.
Just then, they saw Matthew sitting on the sofa with a bruised and swollen face, and Yuna was applying medicine to him.
When Matthew was seen making a fool of himself, his eyes darted around, and he dared not meet the elders' gazes.
The elders didn't take him seriously at all; they looked around but couldn't find the person they longed for.
One of the elders asked, "Where's Mary? Wasn't she supposed to be back?"
Upon hearing Mary's name, Matthew and Yuna's faces instantly darkened. The elders, not getting an answer, glared at the two of them with displeasure.
Seeing Matthew's incompetent behavior, their desire for Mary to take charge of the household grew even stronger.
The oldest elder angrily shouted, "Speak up! Are you mute?"
Yuna dared not offend the elders of the family, and said reluctantly, "That rebellious girl left long ago. She even beat Matthew up like this. The elders must seek justice for Matthew."
Finally, by blaming Matthew's injury on Qiu Tong, one can not only gain sympathy but also tarnish her image.
Unfortunately, her wishful thinking backfired. Upon hearing her words, the elders felt that Mary was truly a promising talent, and even the injuries on Matthew's body suddenly seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
If they can injure the person they've chosen, it proves they have good judgment and that the person they've chosen is capable.
As for how badly Matthew was beaten, that's none of their business.
Even his own sister could severely injure him, which shows how useless Matthew is, making her even more determined not to support him in running the family.
Unaware of the elders' thoughts, and hoping they would uphold justice for her son, Yuna couldn't understand why the elders wore such excited expressions.
In the end, he didn't say anything, turned around and left, leaving her completely bewildered, staring blankly at the door.
She didn't even know when Ursula came in, and was still wondering what the elders' expressions meant before they left.
Ursula asked impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Weren't the elders supposed to be here? Where are they?"
Today's various misfortunes made Ursula forget about being gentle, and she treated Yuna the same way.
Yuna and Ursula had been married for many years, so how could she not hear the displeasure in his tone? She finally came to her senses and recounted what had just happened.
She added at the end, "Why do I get the feeling that the elders seem quite pleased to see Matthew injured?"
Ursula didn't take it seriously and even scolded Yuna for thinking nonsense.
"Stop thinking about these trivial things all day long. We should hurry up and find a way to get the stolen goods back, or we can forget about living a good life in the future."
Yuna understood this principle, but she was very unhappy about being treated this way by Ursula, as if she had done something wrong.
Yuna was right; Ursula pinned the blame for the whole incident on her.
He believed that Matthew was so useless because of Yuna's indulgence.
After this incident, Ursula had no choice but to admit that Matthew was useless.
The stolen goods were perfectly fine in their original location, but Matthew insisted on moving them to a place with absolutely no security measures. Isn't that infuriating?
I have no idea what Matthew was thinking, moving the stolen goods without even consulting them.
Now look what's happened, it's all been stolen, and we still don't know who did it.
