The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Afterwards, Sulina did not rush up to attack Emerald. Instead, she took the short blade and stabbed it into her own throat with all her might, clearly intending to end her own life and not wanting to be humiliated by Emerald any longer.

Snapped!

Just as the short blade was less than 3 millimeters from Sulina's neck, Emery snapped her fingers again, and Sulina found herself unable to move.

Something invisible bound her tightly.

"what!"

Surina did not give up. She unleashed her remaining magic and physical strength in an attempt to break free from Emerald's control and commit suicide.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. The gap between the two sides was too great. Amelie only tied it up casually with an invisible ribbon. She didn't even use the [Mana Absorption Inscription] or [Physical Energy Absorption], which made all of Sulina's struggles and bursts of energy go to waste.

"you……"

Su Lina was once a top student at a prestigious girls' academy, where she received guidance from renowned teachers and worked very hard in her own cultivation. She quickly figured out what this phenomenon meant.

She herself is already one of the best among the mage masters of the control stage. So what level is someone who can completely suppress her with a single spell?

There is clearly only one answer.

"...So, you already possess this kind of strength."

Su Lina's eyes suddenly filled with despair, and she let out a bitter laugh:

"You really are a shameless scumbag, Emerald! You've not only deceived many girls, you've deceived the whole world... If you're so powerful, why do you still bully me?"

"..."

Emery paused for a moment before sighing, her face unusually serious, no longer frivolous. She looked at Sulina with genuine concern.

"Why can't you understand this now, senior? Am I bullying you? You're the one who insisted on going against me! The development of the film will indeed affect your opera house, but can't you come and collaborate with me?"

Chapter 141 Emerald: Senior, you really are a nobody~

"Looking for a collaboration?"

Su Lina's eyes widened in confusion.

Yes, why didn't I consider this option back then? Was it because I was afraid of being manipulated and humiliated? But wouldn't I be manipulated and humiliated if I went against her?

This……

Su Lina was truly speechless.

"You see, don't you?"

Emerald jumped up from her chair with great enthusiasm, snapped her fingers, and used fire magic to burn the chair she had been sitting on to ashes. She then walked over to Sulina, gently nudged Sulina's shoulder, and pushed her from a kneeling position to a prone one. Finally, she sat directly on Sulina, taking a deep, satisfied breath.

"Ah~~ wooden chairs are so hard. It's definitely more comfortable for you, senior. Your body, built up over 20 years of dance training, is amazing!"

"..."

Su Lina trembled slightly, gritted her teeth, but did not resist.

"It seems you've figured it out yourself, senior."

Emerald sat on Sulina's waist, her body tilting to the side, ending up in a reclining position on the bench, her hand supporting her cheek, except that Sulina's shoulder was below her elbow:

"Senior, you always think your good-for-nothing boyfriend acts too impulsively, but isn't it you who's really impulsive? You can let me bully you in front of your boyfriend without exploding, so why can't you just endure the humiliation a little longer and cooperate with me from the beginning? It's still because of that incident at school back then, you can't swallow that anger, and as a result, you made a stupid decision after being slightly instigated by the old guys from the Federal Arts Association, right?"

"..."

Su Lina still didn't speak, but her body trembled again, and her lips were almost bleeding.

"Hey, so you, senior~~"

Emerald reached out another hand and touched Sulina's face from behind:

"You should know me to some extent... If you ask me to cooperate, I'll just tease you a bit, but I'll definitely help you. That way, your dance troupe can continue to operate, and it will become a huge hit as my business expands. It's not impossible for it to surpass your sister in the future... Even your good-for-nothing boyfriend won't die."

"...Jack is really dead? You killed him?"

There was something strange about Su Lina's voice; it didn't contain much sadness, but rather a sense of relief.

"So he really didn't listen to my advice and went to assassinate you himself?"

"more or less."

Emery shrugged:

"I don't know where he got the method, but he actually gained demonic power and turned himself into a monster. He wants to kill me... So I definitely won't hold back."

"Hey……"

Su Lina sighed:

"If I had approached you for cooperation from the beginning, could you have let Jack go? Could you have tolerated the woman you set your sights on having a boyfriend?"

"Well... um."

Emery thought for a moment, then a rather malicious smile appeared on her lips:

"If it were anyone else, it would be impossible. Anyone who dares to flirt with a man would definitely not survive the night... But you're different, senior. You have a special scent that's very alluring... If it were you, senior, I might not only keep your boyfriend alive, but also help you get married, and then on your wedding night... hehehe, I feel like you're also very suitable for the role of a benevolent wife. It would be so much fun to play with you!"

"You really are a pervert! You scumbag!"

Su Lina cried and cursed angrily, but in her heart she couldn't help but think... was such a future really unacceptable? At least her career could develop rapidly, and her boyfriend could live by her side, even if it was a little cuckolded...

No, I can't think about it anymore, or I'll feel even more resentful and desperate!

Su Lina bit her lip tightly, remaining silent and trembling for a long while before asking again:

"If I really ask you to collaborate, how will you solve my problems? My opera house will inevitably be affected by your film. Are you really willing to give up Champs-Élysées for me?"

"How is that possible? Did you waste your time studying in school? Pancake even praised you as a top student with excellent grades in every subject... How can you not understand such a small thing? You didn't cheat on your business course exam, did you?"

Emery said in a rather exaggerated tone:

"Opera houses will indeed be impacted by movies, but the two can also collaborate! Senior, aren't you underestimating my movies? Have you even watched either 'Yulia' or 'The Demon Tide Extermination'?"

"?"

Su Lina paused for a moment, then bit her lip and muttered:

"Hmph, I won't look at anything made by you, you scumbag woman."

"That's why I said you shouldn't have passed your business course, senior! And even your military course!"

*Slap!* Emery sat up straight and slapped Sulina across the face.

"Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. You regard my movie as a competitor, but you won't even watch one of my movies seriously. How can you possibly win? Just like how Yulia's keen perception became a weakness when fighting against you, senior, you were also ruined by your arrogance."

"If you've watched my movies carefully, you'll easily see that the subject matter is quite broad. I can make a hero movie like 'Yulia,' and a war movie like 'The Demon Tide Extermination,' so why can't I make a musical? I could even have you as the lead, leading your dance troupe in a performance. There's just as much content we could shoot."

"Senior, look at Locke City now. Not to mention the wildly popular Julia Square and Julia Museum, even Julia's dormitory at school now has hundreds of tourists willing to pay to visit every day... That's the power of movies."

"If you and your dance troupe also become the main characters in my movie, and it becomes a hit throughout the entire Federation, can you imagine how many people would go to the opera house to see your performance every day? At that time, you might not be worried about having too few audience members, but rather that there are too many audience members and you can't keep up with the performance!"

"..."

Su Lina's lips trembled as she couldn't speak, and her eyes gradually lost their luster.

She was, after all, a top student at the Federal Noble Women's Academy, and had studied a lot of business theory, so she could tell that Emeryt was not lying to her and that it was all true.

But it was only when Su Lina knew that all of this was true that she felt both regret and despair, wishing she could travel back in time and strangle the version of herself that had agreed to cooperate with Old Gate.

"Wow!"

Even when she was defeated and imprisoned and learned of her boyfriend's death, Sulina, who had managed to hold on, finally broke down and cried uncontrollably. She cried so hard that she had no strength left to support herself and Emery on her back, and collapsed to the ground.

Emery then moved around to face Sulina, crouched down, and pinched Sulina's chin to make her look at him. Her smile remained, and she even licked the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm, the senior with tears in her eyes is also very beautiful... Bullying the senior is really a very enjoyable thing for me... I'm so happy."

"Kill me... or just completely destroy me..."

Sulina offered no resistance, only despair and pleading:

"I don't want to have the ability to think anymore, because as soon as I think, I realize how stupid I've been... That despair and regret would be more painful than death... Waaah~~"

"So you're so desperate that you're going to give up thinking, senior? You really are just a nobody."

Emerald flicked Sulina's soft cheek with her other hand and laughed:

"There's no need to be so desperate, senior... If you promise me one thing, what I said before might still come true. Don't you want to make the dance troupe bigger and stronger, surpass your sister in the future, and restore the family's glory?"

Of course I want to!

Su Lina screamed inwardly, but her face remained cautious:

What did I promise you?

"...You should know perfectly well, right, senior?"

Emerald flipped over and went behind Sulina again, sitting down directly in her chair as she pointed to the wooden chair that had turned to ashes:

"Regular chairs are too hard and uncomfortable to sit on, but your body is very flexible, and I just happen to need a chair... You know what I mean, right, senior?"

"...Am I to give up my personality and dignity, and become nothing more than a chair for you from now on?"

Su Lina took a deep breath.

Actually, she was already very tempted, because she had long been prepared to give everything for her ideals.

But at the crucial moment, her arrogance resurfaced, and the words that came out were:

"Don't even think about it! Even if you kill me or forcibly break me, you won't insult my soul and personality like this! I will never be your toy! Absolutely not!"

"Are you really absolutely certain? Can I give you another chance to choose, senior?"

Emery seemed to be offering a kind reminder.

"absolute!"

Su Lina shouted defiantly:

"I will never submit to you willingly! You might as well kill me or break me!"

"...Well, there's no other way then. I didn't really want to use this trick, since it goes against my image as a kind and beautiful person."

Emery sighed, seemingly with a sense of helplessness, before getting up from Sulina. She walked over, picked up something, and then squatted down again to show it to Sulina.

It was a very ordinary magic crystal, its effect being to store magical images, much like a paper photo album on Earth.

The crystal was activated by injecting magic, and the magical images stored inside immediately played out. They were photos of several vibrant young girls, all of them taken in their daily lives, and clearly taken secretly.

"This is……"

Su Lina's expression changed immediately.

These girls were her close friends who had been with her since the founding of the Morning Light Dance Troupe. They had a very good relationship with her, and in Su Lina's heart, they were even more important than her boyfriend.

It's roughly the kind of scenario where your boyfriend and your best friend, both of whom can't swim, fall into the river at the same time. Su Lina would definitely save your best friend first, and then die with your boyfriend.

"Come at me if you have a problem! You're not allowed to touch them! Otherwise, even if I become an undead creature after I die, I won't let you off the hook! Absolutely!"

Sulina broke down again, crying and yelling at Emerald:

"You really are a bastard! They had absolutely nothing to do with any of this! How could you even go after them?"

"Look at what you're saying, senior... I only had Anna mark them, I didn't do anything to them yet. They are still living well in Galica City, they are just still very sad that their beloved captain suddenly abandoned them."

Emerald then touched Sulina's tear-streaked face once more:

"So, how should I choose? Senior, you can reconsider, right? You don't want me to really do something bad, do you? Hmm?"

"Wow!"

Su Lina cried even harder.

"Okay, okay~~ Don't cry, senior~~"

Emery, on the other hand, acted very gently, softly embracing Sulina and even offering her reasons for convincing herself:

"Senior, you are still the same aloof senior. You did not give in to me... Well, no matter what you do later, it's all for the sake of protecting your sisters. What do you think of this setting, senior? Can we change it if it doesn't work?"

"...You scumbag, you're even scarier than the devil. Choosing to go against you was probably the stupidest decision I ever made. Maybe I should have given in to you back in school..."

Su Lina finally lost her arrogance, and only a bitter smile remained on her face:

“You win, Emerald… From today onwards, I am your chair. I only hope that you still have the spirit of the devil’s contract and can keep your word.”

"Don't worry about this senior, I value my promises very much."

Amélie smiled with satisfaction. She released Sulina from her arms, stood up, and used the tip of her shoe to lift Sulina's chin:

"Well, senior, shouldn't you fulfill your duty as a chair? Look, there's nowhere left for me to sit in this room."
