Puff puff puff!

Ignoring the terrified expression on her lover's face, who was still trying to say something, Amelie showed no mercy and thrust her spear into her.

“…What?”

Half a minute later, with a loud bang, Emery tossed the magical spear aside listlessly, not even glancing at the corpse riddled with bloody holes:

"The conclusions from the labs at home are absolutely correct. When the magic consumption and magic power are similar, offensive magic devices are always stronger."

. . . . .

With the help of his lover and his men who risked their lives to buy time, the current police chief of Locke City successfully escaped through the secret passage.

Before he could even catch his breath and pack up to continue his journey, he discovered a fat figure that seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

Before he could think it through or ask any questions, the director immediately drew his magic gun to attack, but he was too late.

Viktor's magic gun fired first, hitting the director's right arm with a supersonic steel nail, leaving it a bloody mess and nearly useless.

Seeing this, Fatty Wei didn't fire any more shots. Instead, he put away his magic gun, grinned maliciously, rolled up his sleeves, and charged forward.

"Surprised, Director? Actually, there's nothing surprising about it."

"Don't forget, I'm the deputy director. That means I personally lead many field missions that require me to do so. So it's only natural that I'm better than you, right?"

Snapped!

A fist the size of a clay pot slammed into the bureau chief's face. Full of personal grudges, the blow caused the bureau chief's nose to bleed and his saliva to flow, and he also knocked out two front teeth.

Pooh!

After spitting another mouthful of saliva at the bureau chief, Fatty Wei, beaming with satisfaction, continued his furious onslaught of punches at the bureau chief.

Only after he had vented all the resentment he had accumulated from years of being bullied and suppressed did Fatty Wei tighten his grip on the director's neck, causing him to fall into a deep sleep forever.

. . . . .

The battle came to an end after the current director and his lover were killed, just as Emery had planned.

Just when the police officers in the chief's faction were about to be wiped out, the deputy chief, Fatty Wei, and his cronies made a dazzling appearance, easily defeating all the Black Sand Gang members and saving Locke City from being dominated by evil forces.

Although almost everyone who knows about this doesn't believe it, that's the official story.

The Black Sand Gang and the former police chief clashed and both sides suffered heavy losses. Fatty Wei made a brilliant appearance at the critical moment to save the people from danger. He is a hero of Locke City and should be the new police chief by all accounts.

Without giving her opponents a chance to react, on the afternoon of the same day the police station was attacked and bloodied, Amelie drove her luxurious magic-powered RV and, in the manner of a typical heiress, visited the headquarters of Velon Copper Industry.

“Go tell your president and board members.”

Upon entering the company lobby, Emerald, acting as if she were the true mistress, immediately gave orders to the receptionist:

"I'm here to take over this company!"

Who are you? Why are you so arrogant?

The receptionist cursed inwardly, but as a receptionist of a large company, she was quite perceptive. From her attire, she recognized that Emery was likely someone of high status, someone she, a mere receptionist, could not afford to offend.

"Understood, Miss. Please wait a moment."

So the receptionist cleverly treated Amelie with courtesy, leading her to the rest area on the side of the company's first-floor lobby, and personally bringing her the best fruit and milk tea from the reception area:

"I will inform the bosses right away that you are here to rest for a while."

"Well, let's go."

Amelie didn't make things difficult for the receptionist, who seemed alright, and waved her away.

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and hurried upstairs to the president's office to tell him about Amelie's visit, emphasizing her attire and appearance.

This morning, a major incident occurred where the Locke City Police Department was attacked and bloodied. At this moment, several old men from the Velen family were discussing what to do in the president's office. After listening to the receptionist's report, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

They arrived so quickly?

Dark Velen's face turned extremely ugly. He knew very well that this niece, whom he couldn't afford to offend, had come to cause him trouble.

Wasn't she just an ordinary heiress from a wealthy family with poor talent in business, military, politics, and cultivation? Why is her style so ruthless and decisive?

At this point, Dark Velen was filled with regret. If he had known that Emery was so formidable, he wouldn't have sent his thugs to intimidate her; instead, he would have tried to coax her and feign compliance.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Dark Velon is indeed the president of Velon Copper, but he doesn't call the shots in the Velon family. Just like how Emerald's father is nominally the president of the Melson Group, but he has to listen to Emerald's grandfather on many things.

At this moment, those old guys from the Velen family in the president's office were the ones who could truly decide the major affairs of the Velen family. They had come to ask Dark Velen about the situation.

Now that the other party involved, Emery, has also arrived, that's perfect, let's talk together.

Chapter 9: Taking Over the Starting Village

Led by the receptionist, Amelie walked calmly into the conference room of Vinylon Copper Industry.

There were already more than 10 people sitting in the conference room, all of whom were core members of the Velen family. Among them were 6 old men with white hair and beards, and the rest were all middle-aged men.

These people scrutinized Amelie, with Dark Velen's expression being the most unpleasant.

Almost the instant the conference room door closed, Dark preemptively struck, giving Emery a cold smile:

"Wow, Ellie, you're quite resourceful! But you've only just arrived in Locke City and you've already caused such a big incident. Aren't you showing a lot of disrespect to us elders?"

“I’m sorry, Mr. Dark, I don’t think you’re qualified to call me Ellie anymore.”

Emerald, however, remained cold and fearless under the gaze of more than a dozen men.

"As my uncle, after learning that I was coming, instead of preparing a delicious welcome dinner, you hired gang thugs to kidnap me... Don't you find it ridiculous to talk about old times now, Mr. Dark?"

All eyes and pressure immediately shifted to Dark.

From a purely self-interested perspective, Dark's actions weren't actually problematic. After all, Emery had made it clear that she wanted to seize power, so it was normal for Dark to want to resist. Moreover, he didn't really intend to harm Emery; he just wanted to scare her.

But Dark's mistake was that he failed.

Even if the kidnapping of the eldest daughter of the Melson family was unsuccessful, and even if the Velen family had a marriage alliance with the Melson family, the Velen family would absolutely not be able to afford to pursue the matter if the Melson family wanted to.

"I……"

Dark himself knew this, which is why he looked so grim.

But Dark still wanted to struggle a bit more, so he argued illogically:

"Little Ellie, you've misunderstood me! I'm your uncle, I even held you when you were little. How could I possibly let gang thugs kidnap you? It must have been those ignorant thugs who coveted your beauty and wealth that attacked you. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Ah."

Emery, however, was too lazy to waste any more words with Dark and directly produced the evidence.

It was a magical device shaped like a handheld mirror. After being activated by Amelie's magic, it projected a video in the conference room, showing the Black Sand Gang leader confessing everything.

The people in the conference room were all knowledgeable; they knew that a corpse controlled by necromancy couldn't lie, and this video could be considered strong evidence.

"enough!"

As the Black Sand Gang leader recounted how Dak embezzled company funds to support gang thugs as his private army, the oldest man, Amelie's maternal grandfather and the true head of the Velen family, Gerard Velen, spoke up in a deep voice:

“Dark was indeed at fault this time, and we will deal with him. Now tell me your conditions and thoughts, Ellie.”

“A wise decision, dear grandfather.”

Emery then revealed a smile with a strong commercial undertone:

"This is what people like us should really be doing now."

The two sides officially began negotiations. Amelie, a young girl, faced off against more than a dozen very experienced and mature men, yet she held her own in the slightest.

She was indeed lacking in negotiation experience, but she had a strong hand. As long as she stuck to her bottom line and refused to budge, no matter how eloquent the men were, they would be helpless.

After all, the Velen family is now asking Amelie for help, and will likely need her to solidify the partnership between Velen and Melson for a long time to come.

The negotiations finally ended around dusk, with a result that satisfied Emery and was acceptable to the Velen family.

Dak Vinyn, the president of Vinyn Copper, has reached the end of his term. He will be sent to work in a small company of the Vinyn family in another city.

The new president of Vinylon Copper is Frank Vinylon, another uncle of Amelie's.

Of course, Frank Velen is only a president in name only, because he is a pure playboy who spends his days either having fun in the red-light district or on his way there. He spends more than 300 out of the 360 ​​days a year in a state of being out soliciting prostitutes and then disappearing.

It was clear that Frank was ineffective as president of Vinylon Copper. Emery successfully seized control of the company, using it as her initial capital for starting her own business.

Of course, the Velen family also had conditions.

Emery can use Vinylon Copper's funds, manpower, and connections to start her own business, but she cannot exploit Vinylon Copper like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. She must ensure the normal operation of Vinylon Copper, return it to the Vinylon family after three years, and guarantee that Vinylon Copper will continue to be a supplier to Merson.

These conditions were all within Amelie's expectations, or even more lenient. She originally only wanted to control Locke City as her first territory by controlling Velen Copper Industry, and she didn't even plan to use Velen Copper Industry's funds and manpower.

Now that there's an extra bonus, it's even better.

The day after the police station was attacked and bloodied, Vinylon Copper officially announced that former president Dark Vinylon had resigned due to health reasons, and the company's operations would be managed by new president Frank Vinylon and new vice president Emery Melson.

The announcement put Wei Pangzi's mind at ease, as he realized he had truly seized the opportunity and would now control both the legitimate and underworld circles of Locke City.

Sure enough, that afternoon, the official appointment for Fatty Vi was announced. He would take over as the new police chief of Locke City, and he would be in charge of recruiting new people to fill the nearly one hundred police positions vacated due to the Black Sand Gang attack.

Fatty Wei made no attempt to hide anything. With a wave of his hand, he recruited all of his White River Gang's underlings into the police station, turning them from gang thugs into federal police officers overnight.

Moreover, they did not give up their identity as gang thugs. During the day, they would wear police uniforms to maintain order on the streets of Locke City, and at night they would change into windbreakers and carry clubs and machetes to continue maintaining order on the streets of Locke City.

You can get paid by the federal government for your daytime job and collect protection money from businesses for your nighttime job. Double the work, double the income, and double the happiness.

Although he indulged in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, whoring, and smoking, and practiced nepotism, Fatty Wei did have some ability in getting things done.

In less than half a month, he completed the rectification of both the legitimate and criminal worlds, restoring order to the minor chaos that had occurred in Locke City at night due to the disappearance of the Black Sand Gang.

It's Chapter 10: The Secret of the Mine

While Fatty Vie was sweeping through both the underworld and legitimate society in Locke City, Amelie was also busy every day, inspecting various parts of Vieron Copper Industry and letting everyone in the company know that the new boss was a beautiful young lady.

Ordinary employees didn't react much to the change in power at the top of the company. After all, they were all getting the same salary and doing the same work. The pretty young woman was much more pleasing to the eye than the middle-aged man, so no one was thinking of causing trouble for Emerald.

After initially confirming her authority within the company, Emery did not rush to allocate manpower and funds to start a business. Instead, she promoted the somewhat clever receptionist to her assistant, while leaving the middle management to continue with the operations as usual.

On the contrary, Frank, the new president of Velon Copper, only accompanied Amelie on a tour for one day after taking office before eagerly taking out a large sum of cash from the finance department and disappearing into the red-light district of Locke City to enjoy himself, handing over all power to Amelie.

Today, Emerald is inspecting the last remaining location of Velon Copper, and also the company's most important asset—a copper mine located southeast of Locke City.

This time, besides her assistant and several middle managers from the company, Emery was also accompanied by Fatty Vivi and his close associates.

"Greetings, Miss!"

Vieira's confidants had clearly been given numerous instructions beforehand, and they were to be extremely respectful to Emery. In particular, two of them were obviously former members of the White River Gang, and their forced gentlemanly demeanor was somewhat comical.

Amelie simply nodded to them and then introduced Fatty Vivi to the company's middle management.

The middle managers were not surprised at all—it would be strange if the new head of Velen Copper couldn't even control the police and gangs in Locke City.

Amelie, accompanied by her assistant, rode in her luxurious magic-powered RV, while the others drove ordinary magic-powered vehicles, forming a grand procession as they headed towards the mining area.

There were people waiting for them at the copper mine, and the miners seemed to have showered and changed their clothes overnight. They all looked clean and refreshed, completely different from the dirty appearance I had imagined.

Amelie was quite satisfied with this, even though she knew it was all for show. She still praised the management of the mine and the miners, and had her assistant bring out a box of cash, giving each miner 200 rens as a reward.

The Luns is the official currency of the Allen Federation. One Luns has roughly the purchasing power of one US dollar, which is roughly equivalent to one dollar on Earth in Amelite's previous life. 200 Luns is enough for an ordinary person to have a good night at a tavern, so the miners who received the bonus were quite enthusiastic about Amelite.

In fact, most working people are like this: they don't care whether their boss is a good person or a bad person; they only care about how much money their boss pays them.

After giving the miners a few words of encouragement and urging them to work hard, Amelie, accompanied by a group of people, began to tour the mining area.

Originally, both the middle managers of Vinylon Copper and Fatty Vinylon thought that a clean-loving young lady like Amelie wouldn't personally go into the mine to check.

Unexpectedly, Amelie not only got in, but seemed quite adept at it, even more so than the middle managers at Vinylon Copper. As she strolled through the mine, she occasionally revealed a nostalgic expression.

After all, this mine was the first large-scale dungeon in the original game, and leveling up and farming equipment in the early stages relied entirely on this place. As a veteran player, Emery was naturally very familiar with the terrain.

However, this world is not entirely the same as the original game world, and Emery easily found many differences between the mine and the original game.

This mine is roughly equivalent to two houses with the same layout but completely different decorations compared to the original game's mine dungeon.

However, the same house type means that the main structure is basically the same, so Amelie easily found a relatively hidden large iron gate in the mine, amidst the shocked gazes of others.

The large iron gate looked old and rusty, but the iron lock on the gate was a new type of magical device, and there were several magical traps in front of the gate.

"Wait a minute, Miss!"

Seeing that Amelie had easily disarmed all the magical traps and unlocked the magical artifacts, a mid-level manager at Velen Copper Industry finally couldn't hold back any longer and stammered, sweating profusely:

"The things behind this are... are... in short, they're not really suitable for you to see, Miss. Why don't you go look around somewhere else?"

"What's inappropriate about it? It's just the black market trade of elven slaves... You don't actually think I'm here to inspect the mines today, do you?"

Emery tossed her long pink hair, her azure eyes brimming with laughter:
