Before Su Linsa's death, she was always in charge of the song and dance performances at the Melson family's celebrations. Now, it's naturally Su Lina's turn.

Moreover, Su Lina's task was even more important. She was responsible for coordinating all the song and dance performances at the celebration, and even all art-related projects needed to be overseen or directly managed by Su Lina.

Since there is no longer an art association, all the artists who will attend the celebration are Amelie's people. Amelie certainly doesn't have time to manage them personally, so she can only entrust them to people around her who understand art and are trustworthy.

Currently, Sulina is the only person like that around Emerald.

After all, Su Lina has been running an opera house for several years, so her program planning and personnel management skills are definitely not a problem.

Surina was not unhappy at all about the heavy task that Emery had given her; on the contrary, she seemed quite excited.

She was never afraid of Emerald exploiting her talents; what she feared was losing her value to Emerald… just like a former investigator whose body had been somewhat played with and was now staying in his apartment in Locke City, not even attending the celebration.

On the first day of the celebration, there weren't many guests visiting Melson Estate; it was mostly the Melson family celebrating the New Year.

The aerial manor was filled with pink-haired people chatting and laughing. They were drinking wine or tea, watching shows and boasting to their relatives about their year's achievements... It wasn't much different from the scene of returning to one's hometown for the New Year on Earth.

The programs mainly consisted of song and dance performances, with a small number of stand-up comedy performances and magic battles, all of which were planned and arranged by Su Lina.

Even Su Lina herself, along with her girlfriends, performed several songs and dances.

After this period of reflection and research, Su Lina has become more adept at integrating tap dance steps into the Federation's existing dance style, and this performance was a great success.

After all, who wouldn't love watching a dance that showcases the legs of beautiful girls in black or white stockings? Each performance always ends with a huge round of applause.

The Melson family is the top conglomerate in the Allen Federation. Even the members of the most remote branches are still scions of wealthy families, the kind of rich kids and young ladies that ordinary people would think of.

Among these tycoon sons, there are shrewd, capable, and ambitious individuals, as well as those who indulge in extravagance, arrogance, and only know how to enjoy life. After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and watching a wonderful song and dance performance, they inevitably develop a desire for more money.

Of course, no one dared to touch the members of the Blue Star Dance Troupe. The larger the family, the more strictly defined its internal hierarchy. As a Fusion Stage powerhouse and the owner of the Melson Ring, Amelie was undoubtedly at the top of the Melson Pyramid. No scion of a wealthy family with normal intelligence would be foolish enough to try to steal her woman.

After all, for the sons of tycoons, beautiful women are not a rarity, but they only have one life.

When Sulinsa was in charge of Melson's cabaret show, she had a special task—to bring in some beautiful dancers who were also eager to make money or improve themselves, for the enjoyment of the sons of wealthy families.

Now, Sulina has also taken on this task... She certainly wouldn't want to send her own dancers out, and she wouldn't even let Amelie touch them. But Sulina won't show any pity to the dancers who signed contracts with the Arts Association before; she'll arrange them however she wants.

Of course, the dancers weren't forced; in fact, they were all scrambling to participate.

Although it hasn't been long since Amelie took over the Arts Association and taken control of the dancers, quite a few clever dancers have already started to stir things up.

They've realized that while the new contracts Emerald has given them are more lenient and offer more money, the minimum wage is also lower, with no guarantee of survival. If they don't work hard to crush their competitors, they'll be the ones who starve in the end.

Therefore, many beautiful singers and dancers began to consider another way out—to marry a rich young man. If they couldn't get married, they would be kept by a sugar daddy. In any case, they couldn't rely solely on singing and dancing performances to make money, so they had to find a partner to depend on.

Those lower-class and unsuccessful singers and dancers can only marry honest working men. But famous, talented, and beautiful singers and dancers still want to marry into wealthy families, so the opportunity to perform at Melson Sky Estate is extremely sought after.

Previously, Su Lina had not signed a contract with the Arts Association, and no matter what kind of song and dance performance she wanted to do, she would be suppressed by the Arts Association. In the end, she could only go to the southernmost town of the Federation to develop her career... Even though her talent was enough to be the center of attention in the performance at the Capital Grand Theater.

Now the tables have turned. Those colleagues who used to mock and suppress Su Lina are now all groveling and trying to curry favor with her.

Su Lina really wanted to humiliate all those people, to use them as chairs and footrests to have some fun.

But Sulina only thought about it briefly. Firstly, she was afraid that Amelie would mind, and secondly, those dancers were now Amelie's money-making tools. As someone who managed and used the tools for Amelie, she couldn't just destroy them at will.

Therefore, Su Lina's handling of this matter is relatively fair. Everything is based on merit, and the dancers who can enter Melson's Sky Manor must be the most beautiful and the most outstanding.

So the sons of the wealthy tycoons of Merson were in luck; many successfully won the hearts of their beauties and went out for a night of revelry. Whether the dancers could turn a one-time ATM into a long-term client remained to be seen.

In short, tonight, Merson Sky Estate has also ushered in spring in a different sense.

At the grand banquet during dinner, the manor's dining room was naturally filled with tables. High-ranking core members and close associates would sit in private rooms, while ordinary members would have to sit in the main hall.

As Amelie's girlfriend, Julia officially attended the family dinner and sat at a table with Pias, Catherine, Poporuru, and others.

The strong are respected everywhere. Regardless of Julia's past status, she is now a genuine Fusion Stage powerhouse. Even people of Pias and Catherine's stature were very friendly towards Julia and had no objection to Julia and Amelie's relationship, offering their blessings in the process.

At this point, Julia had officially met the parents and gained their approval, and her position as Amelie's official girlfriend was now unshakeable.

Another person who came to join in the fun with Emery and the others was Milian.

There was no other way; his wife and daughter were in Japan, and it would be too pitiful for him to be all alone at a table by himself, so he came to his older brother's place for a free meal.

Milain is indeed very popular. Not only does he have a good relationship with Emerald, but Catherine and the two little pink-haired girls also get along very well with him.

Even Julia, who was meeting Milaen for the first time, had a very good impression of him, and they even quickly started arranging a fight.

With three experts at the Fusion stage at the dinner table, the topic of strength and combat was inevitable, and Yulia took the opportunity to complain about her recent minor frustrations.

Without a doubt, Yulia has a bit of a fighting spirit; she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't fight for a day. She's either bullying monsters in the wild or finding someone to spar with in the training ground.

However, once her strength broke through to the Super Magical Form, Yulia found it hard to have enough.

The monsters near Locke City were nothing more than trash to her. Her original sparring partners, Viliana and Flora, were also no match for her. Even when the two teamed up, the fight ended as soon as it began. There was no way to give Yulia a good time.

Emery is strong enough and is willing to play with Julia when she's not busy, but Julia gets tired of it after a few times.

Because the two didn't have good sparring compatibility—Julia was a pure brute warrior, while Emeryte was a mage skilled in various control and support abilities—they weren't a good match.

During their sparring session, Yulia was basically completely immobilized, and the feeling of having all her strength but being unable to unleash it only made her more frustrated.

Julia doesn't understand magic, so she can't counter the control by reacting to each move. The only way for her to get rid of Emerald's control is to desperately unleash her power and forcefully break free from various controls. But if she does that, she might easily lose control and actually hurt Emerald... Julia definitely can't bear to do that.

So ever since her breakthrough in strength, Yulia has always felt a bit unsatisfied in terms of combat, and only when she defeated the giant fat woman did she have a real thrill.

Upon hearing this, Milion immediately offered to be Yulia's sparring partner. He was also a melee-focused warrior, which would perfectly satisfy Yulia's desire for a satisfying combat experience.

Yulia was overjoyed and couldn't wait to drag Milain to the training ground for a few rounds of fun, until she was pinched on the waist and glared at by Emery before she gave up.

However, Milaen readily agreed, saying that Yulia was itching for a fight and could come to him anytime, since his wife and children weren't around and he was quite free these days.

After dinner, the New Year's celebration came to an end, and everyone went back to rest.

Tomorrow, celebrities and dignitaries from all over the Federation will be visiting the manor, and there will be even more social activities. I can't afford not to get some rest.

Emerald used this as an excuse to practice water magic with Julia for only three rounds before falling asleep peacefully with Julia in her arms.

Held in Amelie's arms, Julia was clearly very safe and comfortable, and soon fell asleep with even breathing.

Emerald, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened them at that moment, quietly got off the bed, and left the room.

Almost at the same time that Emerald left the room, Julia opened her eyes, but did not chase after her. She simply pouted in the direction Emerald had gone.

"Hmph, womanizer."

Then she turned over, changed her position, and continued sleeping.

Meanwhile, Emerald soon arrived at the secret room in her residence, which she usually used for meditation and cultivation. Tonight, however, there were two more people there: Marcy and Lulu.

"How is it? Bobo didn't cause any trouble, did he?"

As twins, Bobo and Lulu usually stay together at home and rarely separate, but this time only Lulu came to her sister's place.

"No."

Lulu chuckled:

"The excuse my sister taught me is really useful. I said I came to ask Marcy for some Elvish questions, and Bobo completely ignored me and continued drawing his magical device design at home."

"very good."

Emery nodded in satisfaction:

"I'll be in charge of helping the family entertain guests for the next two days, so there are some things I won't have time to do and I'll have to teach them to you, Lulu... And in order for you to complete my task, I'll personally teach you a few moves tonight."

"Uh-huh."

Lulu nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with eager excitement.

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on my sister."

Without hesitation, Emery gently reached out and pulled Marcy into her arms.

"You can't become a great 'bad girl' just by relying on the techniques you see in picture books, but that's okay... Tonight, I'll teach you some useful practical 'bad girl' techniques. You'd better watch carefully, learn carefully, and remember them carefully~~"

Chapter 233 If I can't control a scumbag woman, can't I at least beat a vixen?

By the second day of the celebration, many of the young people and children of the Merson family were getting restless at the manor.

They would go out with close relatives to stroll around the various luxury shopping and entertainment venues in the Sphinx area.

And dignitaries and celebrities from all over the Federation would come to visit the Melson Manor one after another, a scene that was no less impressive than the "all nations paying tribute" that Amelie had described in her previous life.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, the first guests to visit the Melson Manor were the current president of the Allen Federation and his staff.

This is a long-standing tradition, and it's the same almost every year. The Federal President will visit Merson Estate as the first guest on New Year's Day.

Ostensibly it was just a regular New Year's greeting, but those in the know understood that the Federation's Grand President was there to report on his work. He would be reporting at Melson's Sky Estate in the morning, and then rushing to the Lohid family's alternate-world town in the afternoon to report again. This was also a symbol of the two families' extraordinary status in the Allen Federation.

Of course, the Federal President is, after all, the most powerful person in the Federation in name only, and the two families still have to give him the respect he deserves... For example, when the President comes to report to the Federation with his staff, the heads of the two families will personally come out to greet him.

In previous years, when welcoming the Grand Commander, the head of the family, Baphomet, would stand in the middle, with Pias and Milain following behind on either side of him, each a step behind.

But now that Milain has officially withdrawn from the line of candidates for family head and is about to marry into the Upper Sakura Kingdom as a prince, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to accompany Baphomet to welcome distinguished guests.

Who should fill Milain's position?

Of course, it's Emery, who stole the show last year. Now, she's more than qualified for the position in terms of status, ability, and achievements.

The president and his men immediately understood the meaning of this change, and were slightly surprised but not so surprised.

This applies to people in any world and any country. With the family as the basic unit, if one family member achieves outstanding success, the whole family can benefit.

Parents who are successful in business can let their children live a carefree life as rich kids, while talented children can certainly help their parents' business take off.

It's obvious that Pias is benefiting from his good daughter's influence. He will undoubtedly be the next head of the Melson family, and that position is the true pinnacle of power in the Allen Federation.

Therefore, during the greetings, the Grand Commander and his staff still treated the current head of the Melson family, Baphomet, with utmost respect, bowing and addressing him as "Master of the Family."

They also showed Pias significantly more respect than in previous years, proactively bowing and addressing him as "Mr. President."

Even towards Emerald, a junior, the Grand Commander and his men dared not neglect her in the slightest, and all bowed slightly to address her as Miss Emerald.

After exchanging pleasantries, Baphomet led the Grand Commander to the patriarch's castle, where the Grand Commander would report to Baphomet on the past year's work and receive new assignments for the year.

There's really nothing to arrange, since this president's term is coming to an end this year. After leaving office, he will join the Merson Group as a political advisor, which basically means he won't do anything and will just collect a salary. He can still go fishing, play chess, and play ball with his predecessors when he has free time.

After that, the guests who came to visit were no longer personally received by the head of the family, Baphomet; it was enough that Pias, the president of the Melson Group and the next head of the family, was there.

About 20 minutes after the Grand Commander followed Baphomet into the castle, dignitaries and celebrities from all over the Allen Federation began to arrive one after another.

These celebrities would also bring their wives and children when they visited, and Pias and Emeryt also divided the tasks.

Pias was responsible for entertaining the celebrities and chatting with them.

Amelie, on the other hand, would greet the wives and children of those men, exchange pleasantries, and then make proper arrangements for them to have a meal or watch a performance.

Both of them were extremely busy, barely having time to rest.

This is also the main reason why Emerald taught Lulu the techniques of a "scumbag woman" overnight. She had some plans to complete in the past two days, but she didn't have time herself, and other people's identities were not suitable, so she could only leave it to Lulu.

Around 11 o'clock, some of the guests finally became acquaintances of Emerald, with whom she had a good relationship.

He was a burly general, followed by three young men and one woman, the woman being Judy.

"Haha... General Bessie, welcome, welcome."

Pias stepped forward and shook hands with the general, while Judy and her three brothers exchanged a few pleasantries before being led away by Emerald to the other side.

It must have been because her father and sister had repeatedly instructed them beforehand. Although the three young male officers looked at Emerald with great admiration, they did not act rudely at all. On the contrary, they were all very respectful, as if Emerald were their superior.

Emerald exchanged a few pleasantries with them before sending them to see a musical, but kept Judy behind.

The three men clearly knew that their younger sister and the young lady had a close personal relationship, so they left without saying anything more.

With no one else around, Emery was much more relaxed with Judy. She pulled Judy to a more secluded corner and whispered:

"Your relationship with Bobo is getting a bit complicated."

"what happened?"

Judy was very interested in Bobo, this young man who was exactly to her liking. Because of this, she hadn't been to any brothels to play with other young men for a long time, giving the impression that she had turned over a new leaf and was now wholeheartedly devoted to him.

Now that Judy heard that Popo was in trouble, she naturally asked him immediately.

"Is such that……"

Emerald didn't hide anything and told Judy that her father had become the heir to the family headship, and that Popeye would most likely become the next head of the family after that, as well as the reactions of the old pink-haired girls in the family.

Judy's eyes flickered violently a few times, but she wasn't particularly surprised.

She wasn't the kind of person who lacked self-awareness; she knew very well that she didn't really have much feminine charm, and that strength and bravery weren't exactly advantages for a woman.

If Bobo were just a scion of the Merson family, it wouldn't matter; a young man from the south paired with a fierce woman would be a match made in heaven.

But Bobo is now very likely to become the next head of the Merson family, so when it comes to choosing the head of the family's wife, women with mainstream appeal will naturally have a greater advantage.

So although Judy was annoyed by those old-school pink-haired people, she could understand them and didn't have any complaints or confrontational feelings.
