The reason Badis will stay with the White River Gang is most likely because of Fatty Wei—her mother was Fatty Wei's lover, and even if she and Fatty Wei are not related by blood, she probably still regards Fatty Wei as her father.

It's perfectly reasonable for Fatty Navi to give up the opportunity Amelie gave him and recommend Badis instead.

Badis's identity as an Amazon warrior is indeed more suitable to be a confidante of Emerald than a large, fat man.

The fat man's subsequent explanation basically confirmed Emery's guess.

Badis's mother was once one of the bodyguards of a wealthy man. However, the wealthy man was assassinated by powerful men hired by his enemies during a battle for interests, and the bodyguard team was almost completely wiped out. Badis's mother was taken in and rescued by Fatty Wei.

With the employer dead, the guard was undoubtedly derelict in his duty. Unable to continue working as a guard, Badis's mother stayed with Fatty Vie, working alongside him in Locke City, and became his friend and lover.

Unfortunately, the battle in which her employer was killed left Badis's mother with permanent serious injuries. She died less than six years after living with Viktor. Before her death, she gave birth to her daughter Badis using a racial secret method, and Viktor raised her.

"What...isn't this Badis your daughter, Fatty? Apart from not being related by blood, how is she any different from a real father and daughter?"

After hearing the story, Emery pursed her lips, stared at Fatty for a few seconds, and then nodded slightly amidst Fatty's trepidation:

“Since she is your daughter, Fatty Wei, her abilities and loyalty should be trustworthy. Let her come to see me.”

"...Yes, young lady."

This time, Fatty Wei hesitated for a second or two before nodding in agreement.

He truly regarded Batis as a daughter, and he was well aware of the risks involved in the mission Batis was about to undertake.

But just as he never regretted becoming Amelie's dog, he valued his daughter's bright future more than the risks.

Chapter 111 Why are you still working overtime at midnight? Don't you like sleeping?

With the introduction of Fat Vie, Badis soon arrived at Amelie's place.

Amelie only needed a quick glance to confirm that her impression was correct; Badis was indeed the fierce woman she had seen a few times around Fatty Vivi before.

Her skin was a healthy, vibrant wheat color, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she wore a short tank top and hot pants with very little fabric. She carried two short metal rods on her back, wore wrist guards on her arms, and had a rope hanging from her waist.

She is completely unlike any of the common adjectives used to describe women, such as delicate, cute, fair-skinned, smooth, and soft. You can see obvious muscle mass in her limbs and abdomen, making her a complete tough woman.

"I've met the eldest lady!"

Her voice was loud and clear, and when she met Amelie's gaze, she didn't flinch, but there was no hint of insubordination; it was just pure excitement and anticipation.

Badis clearly heard something from Fatty Vie and seemed eager to get into the action.

"Badis? Very well, come with me."

Expanding territory certainly requires people like this. Amelie was very satisfied with Badis's fighting spirit, and the initial interview was considered a success. She took her directly to her training ground.

"Yes, Miss!"

Badis rubbed her hands together eagerly and immediately followed, while Fatty Wei hesitated for a few seconds before also catching up.

He was confident in his daughter's abilities, but he was worried about her manners and emotional intelligence. Otherwise, he would have introduced Badis to Amelie long ago, instead of waiting until now.

"Anna."

Upon arriving at the training ground, at Amelie's soft call, a cold and elegant guard dressed in a tight black robe appeared beside her:

"Master, I am here."

"Suppress your casting speed and spell power to the level of an apprentice mage, and go and exchange a few blows with Badis to test her strength."

"Emerity gave the order," Amelie instructed.

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Miss."

Viliana and Badis, of course, did not object. They nodded politely and greeted each other before starting their sparring as Ameliete ordered.

When Emery told her to suppress her strength, Viliana didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just an easy test battle.

I almost messed up.

Before Emerald came to Locke City and wiped out the Black Sand Gang, the Black Sand Gang and the former police chief's forces also had a master-level mage, namely the chief's lover and secretary, who tried to kill Emerald in one-on-one but was instantly killed.

Although the secretary was killed by Emerald in a single encounter, she was actually quite influential among the gangs in Locke City. As the only gang that could openly rival the Black Sand Gang at the time, the White River Gang needed to have the fighting power to deal with the secretary, and that fighting power naturally came from Batis, the leader of the henchmen.

Badis's strength is definitely at the peak level of an awakened mage. It wouldn't be surprising if she broke through to the level of a master mage at any time if given the opportunity.

More importantly, Batista has no sense of martial ethics when she fights; she uses whatever moves are ruthless and effective.

In the fight against Viliana, Badis's pair of metal short sticks almost always targeted Viliana's lower body, and she would suddenly throw poison sand into her eyes and spit out strange saliva with obvious acidic corrosive properties.

In short, if Viliana were really just an apprentice mage, she would have been defeated; thankfully, she wasn't.

After secretly using two spellcasting techniques that no novice mage would ever possess, Viliana disarmed Badis of all her weapons and then used control spells to immobilize her, ending the battle.

Ameliette, of course, noticed that Viliana had cheated, but she didn't expose her. Instead, she smiled at the somewhat unconvinced Badis:

“Anna is my personal bodyguard after all, and she’s quite formidable. It’s already quite impressive that you were able to fight her to this extent. I’m very satisfied… Alright, let her go, Anna.”

"Yes, Master."

Viliana did as she was told, releasing the control spell and returning the metal rod and rope she had taken to Badis.

"...I'm so sorry I couldn't satisfy Lady Anna."

Badis bit her lip, glanced at Fatty Vivi again, and finally suppressed the fighting instinct in her bloodline, accepting her defeat.

"Don't be discouraged, I'm still very satisfied with you."

Seeing this, Amelie comforted Badis again, then said to Fatty Vivi:

"Alright, it's decided on her. She's perfect... First, take her to my private research and development center and have Batis provide data on the size, weight, and shape of the weapons she's good at. I'll have someone forge a few new magical artifacts for her. After that, contact Marcy and have her take you to my magic material warehouse. Get Batis some magic materials that I use for my own training and see if we can help her achieve a breakthrough."

"I'm giving you three days to get used to the new magical artifact and the materials. After three days, no matter what the outcome, you must come to see me. I will then give you orders to Badis."

"Yes, Miss! Thank you for your kindness to Batiste!"

Fatty Wei quickly bowed and agreed, his chubby face full of smiles.

After accepting the order and thanking Amelie, he quickly looked at Badis, only to find that she was grinning like an idiot after hearing about the new magical device, so he kicked her.

"what?"

Badis then came to her senses and quickly bowed to Emerald as well:

"Thank you so much, Miss! Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

"Okay, let's go."

Amelie waved and watched as the fat man and Badis left, leaving only her and Viliana on the training field.

"...What happened to you just now, Anna?"

Immediately, Emery's face hardened, becoming icy cold.

"Didn't I tell you to suppress your strength to the level of an apprentice mage? You think I couldn't see that you were cheating just now, did you?"

"Gurgle~~~~ Master, I'm sorry."

Viliana immediately knelt down before Ameliete:

"But I really don't want to lose face in front of you. I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

"You really deserve a proper punishment!"

Emery showed no mercy and stepped on him directly.

She was wearing high heels today, the sharp heels like spears, stepping directly into Viliana's beautiful, soft white hair, crushing her head and scalp.

This posture and movement are obviously very painful, and even human girls with special interests would generally never dare to do it, but elves have no problem with it.

Viliana's expression of pain lasted for less than a few hundred milliseconds before turning into pleasure, her eyes rolling upwards and her tongue sticking out.

"……snort!"

Emery seemed to enjoy stepping on Viliana's head; she took a long breath, lifted her foot off Viliana's head, moved it back slightly, and then stepped down again.

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho..."

This time, Viliana's tongue, which had just been sticking out, was stepped on by the heel, causing her even greater pain and making her let out a pig-like scream.

However, this screaming did not last long either. Viliana adapted to the pain and transformed it into pleasure, beginning to enjoy it.

“…Really.”

Emery was clearly excited too, but she acted rather reservedly, gently pressing down the hem of her skirt with her hand, lifting her foot again, her face full of disdain:

"You elves are so much fun."

. . . . .

After severely punishing Viliana for disobeying orders at the training ground, Amelie returned to her office.

Badis needs three more days to prepare before leading her troops into battle, but Emery doesn't intend to waste those three days and plans to use the opportunity to make contact and advance another matter.

She took the iced tea that Marcy brought her, took a sip, and then reached out and hugged Marcy, letting her sit on her lap like a human-shaped pillow.

Marcy was about to begin serving when Emery held her tightly, signaling her not to move.

Marcy could only regretfully stop what she was doing and obediently nestled in Emerald's arms as a pillow, watching Emerald take out the communication magic device again, input magic information, and contact the other person.

"Hi... Judy, did I disturb you?"

When the call connected, Emery heard obvious panting on the other end. She paused for a moment, then smiled and chuckled.

"It's nothing, I was just running with my men as usual to improve their physical fitness."

Major Judy answered casually, yet somewhat urgently:

"You contacted me first, could it be that there's been a breakthrough in the technique of wish-granting magic?"

"How could it be so fast? It's only been a few days since I first tried it... Senior Judy, you're too impatient, aren't you?"

Emery rolled her eyes—a roll Major Judy couldn't see—and grinned mischievously again:

"Speaking of which, Judy-senpai, are you really running with your subordinates? According to the storyline of the comic book, this kind of running is usually just an excuse, you wouldn't be... "

"I was just running! You think everyone's like you, Emery?! Do you think everyone's like you, running around in a sports equipment warehouse in broad daylight... Humph!"

Judy immediately got angry and even swore.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amelie laughed heartily, and also remembered the time she met Judy.

Judy, who comes from a military family, was always willing to take responsibility in school. She was a disciplinary committee member who was responsible for catching bad students who broke the rules.

One day, Judy received a tip that someone had led several girls to skip class and engage in lewd acts in the sports equipment warehouse. The noise was so loud that it could be faintly heard through the open windows of the school building.

Judy, of course, rushed to the scene without hesitation and caught Emerald and three other female students who wanted Emerald to do something for them on the spot.

But what could Judy do in front of the eldest daughter of the Melson family? Should she issue a school-wide reprimand and then expel her, according to school rules? She was sure she'd commit suicide that very night if she dared to do that, and her family would sever all ties with her.

So Judy's choice was to remind Emerald and the others to keep their voices down so they wouldn't get reported to the disciplinary committee, then she turned and left, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

In fact, if Judy hadn't been a tough girl like Badis, but rather a fair-skinned and beautiful young lady, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave and would have been forced to join the party.

This incident became the catalyst for Judy and Emery's acquaintance, after which they began normal social interactions as classmates and became good friends.

Judy must have been thinking about these past events as well, because she chuckled softly on the other end of the communication magic device.

After they both laughed for a while, Emerald finally brought up the important matter:

"Could you take some time to come to Locke City in the next couple of days, Senior Judy? I have a new collaboration I'd like to discuss with you... It would be good for you and could speed up your promotion."

Hearing that it could speed up her promotion, Judy was immediately tempted.

Judy couldn't have been an ordinary girl, given that she was able to get into the Federal Noble Girls' Academy and become a disciplinary committee member. She had a father who was a general, so she became a major at a young age.

But being a major wasn't enough for Judy; her goal was to gain her father's position and become one of the Federation's generals in the future.

However, Judy has two older brothers who also covet their father's position and are strong competitors for Judy's.

During peacetime, the position of general in the Union is very limited, with each position filled by a single person. If one of Judy's two brothers successfully inherits their father's position, Judy, no matter how talented she is, will only be able to reach the rank of senior colonel.

Therefore, Judy is now working very hard. Instead of choosing the safe and comfortable rear, she joined the front-line troops to fight the demon tide, all in order to accumulate merits more quickly.

If cooperating with Emerald could accelerate the acquisition of merits, Judy would certainly be very willing, which is also why she is so concerned about the development of the Prayer Magic System.

"Could you tell me roughly what it is about?"

Judy's panting subsided, indicating she had stopped running, and the somewhat noisy surroundings quickly quieted down.

"You know, it's not that easy to get leave in our army."

"Let's talk about this in person... You know very well that the remote communication of this kind of magical device is not very secure."
