The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"That bitch has no intention of letting us live! Let's fight her!"

As the first thug roared and charged, the rest followed suit, each swinging their weapons for the last time in their lives.

Puff puff puff!

As expected, none of the thugs could even get within 10 meters of Emery before they were struck by invisible blades, either with their throats slit or their hearts pierced, and they all fell one after another, none surviving.

Only after all the thugs had completely lost their life force did Emerald yawn lazily and offer a half-hearted explanation to the corpses scattered on the ground:

"I'm sorry... but for my own safety, all strangers who know my strength must die!"

"Also... of course I want to know who gave you the orders, but I don't trust what you said when you were alive; I trust your corpses more."

After saying this, Emerald reached into her collar and pulled something out of the inner pocket of her breast pocket.

It was a silver metal cylinder about the size of an index finger. As Emerald gently rotated the bottom of the cylinder, a black paste-like substance rose from the other end.

This is a lipstick... or more accurately, a magical artifact shaped like a lipstick.

With her lips pursed, Amelie used a highly skilled technique to evenly coat her pink lips with black in less than 20 seconds, giving her a unique charm reminiscent of a wicked woman.

But this is not ordinary makeup; it is a necessary step to activate the magic within the magic device.

"The dead are resurrected! Rise!"

As Amelie spoke in a clear and serious voice, the black on her lips seemed to come alive, quickly leaving her lips and splitting into more than 20 wisps of black smoke in the air, each entering the corpses of the thugs.

About half a minute later, the thugs who had just died stood up again, and the bleeding from their vital organs such as their chests and throats stopped.

"Go ahead."

Emerald then took a step back, leaned against the car door, and crossed her legs, encased in black stockings, into a comfortable position.

"what is going on?"

"It's like this, Miss..."

The henchmen, completely under the control of necromancy, had no chance of lying and told everything they knew the truth.

Chapter 4 No one will come here, right?

Things turned out to be pretty much as Emery had guessed.

The gang thugs who ambushed Emerald along the way all came from the Black Sand Gang.

The Black Sand Gang is the largest underground gang in Locke City. Even the police chief is one of their men, which has allowed them to act with impunity in the city for many years.

However, Emery knew even better that neither the Black Sand Gang's apparent leader nor the Locke City Police Chief was the true master of the Black Sand Gang; the president of Velon Copper Industry was.

After all, this is the Allen Federation. No matter which state or city, it is all controlled by capital. The government and gangs are just tools in the hands of capital.

The thugs who ambushed Emerald had no idea of ​​her true identity. Their orders were to scare Emerald and then tie her up and take her back to the gang, but not to cause her any real harm.

Corpses controlled by necromancy do not lie. The thugs did not know Amelie, otherwise they would never have dared to do something as foolish as kidnapping the eldest daughter of the Melson family.

Behind a clump of grass by the roadside, Amelie found another iron lump that required three people to lift, based on the confession of the thug's corpse.

"Territory Control Type III, huh... Tsk tsk, the police and gangs in Locke City really are close partners, they even managed to get their hands on this."

As the eldest daughter of the family that manufactures the largest magical artifacts in the Federation, Amelie recognized the true form of that lump of iron in just a few seconds.

The military-grade riot control device, Type III, is similar in effect to EMP weapons from advanced civilizations. It can interfere with the operation of all other magical devices within its range whose strength is lower than its own. The sudden stop of Amelie's magic-powered vehicle was clearly due to this.

Although the Riot Control Type III was phased out of the Federal Army after the Riot Control Type V began mass production, it is currently only equipped by the Federal Police, and ordinary gangs have no chance of getting their hands on it... Therefore, the Black Sand Gang and the Locke City Police Department have long been in cahoots and corrupt together.

After shutting down the riot control system and allowing the magic-powered vehicle to restart, Emerald found a rope and used it to bind the corpses of the thugs themselves. Then, she had the corpses escort the magic-powered vehicle towards Locke City.

The leader of the Black Sand Gang had already arranged for Amelie to be imprisoned in a logistics warehouse located on the southern outskirts of Locke City.

This gang leader, who looked more like a white-collar elite than a gang leader, clearly knew Emerald's true identity. Not wanting his impulsive and rude subordinates to be alone with a young lady for too long, he led a group of elite gang members to guard the warehouse, intending to personally watch over Emerald.

When the Black Sand Gang leader saw the thugs escorting the magic-powered vehicle back, his heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that his men might act impulsively and ruin things.

The Black Sand Gang leader breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Amelie had not been harmed or violated except for being bound by ropes.

Although he found Amelie's overly calm demeanor a bit odd, what threat could a delicate young lady who was tied up pose? The Black Sand Gang leader didn't think much of it.

"Excuse me, Miss Melson."

After dismissing all his men, the Black Sand Gang leader bowed slightly to Amelie, behaving like a gentleman in a social setting.

"...Knowing I'm the eldest daughter of the Melson family, how dare you treat me like this?"

Emerald continued to act like an arrogant young lady, glaring angrily at the Black Sand Gang leader with the look of utter disdain.

"Believe it or not, Merson Security's elite mercenaries will come and crush you like minions right now?"

"Not afraid."

The Black Sand Gang leader shrugged, appearing very confident.

"After all, Miss, you are currently in a rather special trial period of starting your business, right? As long as we don't really harm you, the Melson family won't easily take action. And we don't have any intention of harming you either; we just want you to stay here as a guest for a few days, to face reality, and not to act recklessly."

"You...you even know about the startup trial?"

Emerald first feigned a panicked look, as if a little devil's protective shell had been breached, then immediately started shouting in a bluffing manner:

"Even if the family won't act easily, your kidnapping of me is still a provocation against the Melson family! Aren't you afraid of being purged afterward?"

"The Melson family will never know."

The leader of the Black Sand Gang remains confident:

"After you sent that letter, Miss, the boss had us tidy up this place. There are no outsiders around here, and no one will be coming here anytime soon. No one will know that we invited you here as a guest."

"As for you, Miss... are you really not afraid of losing face and telling your family about being bullied by a third-rate gang in a small town?"

"..."

Emery stopped acting, a slight smile playing on her lips as she asked in return:

"Are you sure there are no outsiders around here, and that no one will be coming anytime soon?"

"?"

The Black Sand Gang leader finally realized something was wrong, but he had been ruling Locke City for too long, and had even transformed from a street thug into a white-collar elite, losing his keen sense of danger.

"That's right, after all, we made arrangements for two whole days in advance..."

Before his brain could even register the warning, the Black Sand Gang leader had already answered Amelie's question.

"I can rest assured that."

Emerald's smile grew even brighter.

She was still tightly bound by ropes and seemed unable to move, but the Black Sand Gang leader, like the previous thugs, had his heart pierced by an invisible, sharp blade and died on the spot.

Meanwhile, the hand-beating corpses still controlled by necromancy outside the room suddenly launched a sneak attack on the gang thugs who were still alive around them, each move deadly, and soon it turned into a one-sided massacre.

But this is just the beginning. As the largest gang in Locke City, the Black Sand Gang certainly doesn't just have ordinary people as its henchmen.

Among the elites around the Black Sand Gang leader were two awakened mages, each wielding a combat magic device. Their combat power was completely different from that of ordinary thugs; they knocked down more than ten thugs' corpses in just a few moves.

But that's all.

Corpses resurrected by the necromancy spell "Resurrection of the Dead" can only exert the strength of ordinary people, regardless of their strength in life. The advantage is that these corpses can be manipulated by the caster with great precision, acting like real living people.

This spell itself is not a combat-type necromancy spell. Ameliete would record this spell into her magic device only for interrogation and for pretending.

Now facing an enemy of formal mage level, Emerald has no choice but to take action herself.

Chapter 5 Ribbon

Mages in the Allen Federation are officially classified into four levels, from lowest to highest: Awakening Stage, Mastery Stage, Fusion Stage, and Ascension Stage.

However, the Transformation Stage only exists in theory, and no one has actually been able to reach it yet. At least, no real Transformation Stage powerhouse has appeared in the original game storyline.

As the first boss in the game, even though she's a boss in the beginner village, she's still a boss and quite powerful—she had the strength of a high-level master when she appeared.

This is just Emerald from the original game. The current Emerald focuses even more on improving her own strength. She has also worked harder since childhood to secretly cultivate, fully utilizing her previous life's style of pretending to go to internet cafes to play games all night but actually staying up all night doing exercises at home. As a result, she is even stronger.

Coupled with her innate magic that grants a guaranteed first strike when there's an information advantage, the two mere awakened mages couldn't even withstand a single move and were instantly killed by Emery like cannon fodder.

It was still a clean and decisive slit in the throat and through the heart, as if an invisible, unseen flying sword was being controlled by Emeryte.

But it wasn't actually a flying sword; it was several invisible ribbons, each about two fingers wide.

These ribbons can pierce and cut like sharp blades, wrap around Emerald in a soft yet resilient way for defense, and bind and control enemies like tentacles, making them a versatile tool for both offense and defense.

More importantly, it remains to be seen whether these ribbons can be considered Emerald's stand-in. In any case, from the beginning to the end of the original game, no one other than Emerald could see them, not even the overpowered heroine Julia.

That's why Emeryt values ​​information about her innate magic so much. This kind of stealth attack, which currently has no known means of detection, is extremely useful for surprise attacks.

The Black Sand Gang leader was right. Several hours passed after Emery killed all the gang members near the warehouse, and no one noticed what was happening.

During this time, Emerald used the same trick again. First, she turned the lipstick magic device black, then she painted her lips black as well. Finally, she used voice commands to activate the necromancy [Resurrection of the Dead], which brought up the Black Sand Gang leader and his cronies, and asked them for information.

The Black Sand Gang leader knew far more than ordinary thugs. He not only knew that Amelie was coming to start a business trial, but also revealed that the mastermind behind this operation was Amelie's uncle, the current president of Velon Copper Industry, Dak Velon.

However, Emery had already guessed these things. What she was really concerned about was the current distribution of power and the power structure in Locke City.

After all, this world is not exactly the same as the original game world. Emerald can become stronger than her counterpart in the game through hard training. Other things may also change, and relying solely on the game's settings for information could backfire.

The Black Sand Gang leader's status in Locke City is definitely among the top five, and he is very familiar with the details of Locke City, so Amelie is now very familiar with it as well.

To take over the city, violence and necromancy alone are not enough; there must also be living people who actually get things done to help Amelie manage it.

After pondering the information provided by the Black Sand Gang leader for a moment, Amelie quickly identified a suitable candidate.

Vipon Deefe, deputy chief of the Locke City Police Department, is also the protector and de facto controller of the White River Gang, the second largest gang in Locke City.

Whether in the police station or on the streets, Vipang is a rival of the Black Sand Gang and the current police chief, but he lost the competition and is currently in a period of keeping a low profile.

At this point, if a powerful external force were willing to lend him a hand, Velen would likely be willing to pledge his loyalty to the new boss.

This event is also recorded in the original game. The first elite monster that the female protagonist Julia encountered in the starting village of Locke City was the police chief, whom players called Fatty Vi... At that time, Fatty Vi was Amelie's loyal dog.

Even after Emery was defeated by Julia, the fat man did not betray her. Instead, he continued to work for the main characters as the police chief of Locke City, and ultimately achieved a good ending.

I've decided on you, Fatty Wei.

Emery made her decision quickly.

……

Late at night, the deputy chief of the Locke City Police Department, who had just enjoyed a night of pleasure at a brothel, drove his Magic Power vehicle home, dragging his nearly 120-kilogram, obese body.

Despite his fat and clumsy appearance, Fatty Vie, the deputy police chief, is no pushover; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the first elite monster in the original game.

The moment he pushed open the door, Fatty Wei realized there was an intruder in his house. His brain, which had been dazed by alcohol and women, instantly cleared up. He drew the magic gun, which was about 20 centimeters long, from his lower back, gripped the muzzle tightly with both hands, and cautiously explored the house in the standard posture of a federal police officer.

"Who's there? Who?"

As he walked, Fatty Wei kept shouting.

crunch.

Shh~~ Keep your voice down~~

First, the door closed automatically when there was no wind, then a pleasant chuckle came from the direction of the dining room, and then the lights inside the room turned on.

Fatty Wei saw a beautiful, alluring, elegant, and playful young woman sitting on his dining table with her legs crossed in black stockings. She had opened a bottle of his collection of red wine and was eating and drinking with clean cherries, looking very relaxed.

After hesitating for about three seconds, Fatty Wei put away the magic gun and put it back behind him.

He didn't think the girl in front of him could be a thief; ordinary petty thieves didn't have this kind of aura... even if she really was a thief, she would definitely be a legendary master thief.

If someone like that wanted to cause me trouble, I would be dead already. No matter how tightly I grip the magic gun, it won't bring me any sense of security.

Since that's the case, why not calm down and see what the other party really wants to do?

Fatty Wei quickly figured this out, and even felt a little excited—from the moment he saw the girl with black stockings and pink hair, he had a premonition that his chance had come.

"...Is there anything I can do to help you, young lady?"

Having completely abandoned the frivolous side he displayed while partying in the brothel, Fat Vieira laboriously bowed to Emerald with his obese body and inquired.

"Hmph... Indeed, those who know when to yield are the wise ones."

Emerald put another cherry in her mouth, slowly ate the flesh, and then precisely spat the pit into a trash can 3 meters away before smiling and getting straight to the point with Fatty Vivi:

“Vipon Deve, I’m here to give you a chance.”

"Do you want to continue to follow the Black Sand Gang and the current police chief around, eating dirt, and forever remain the second-in-command of Locke City?"

"Still want to be my dog, but also the king of both the underworld and the legitimate world in Locke City?"

Chapter 6 If he doesn't want it, plenty of others will.
