Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 208 She had to accept this reality

Annie huddled behind Toby.

Her other animal husbands also gathered around, guns in hand, watching the tiger and deer warily.

"tiger?"

Ashley looked at Scarlett and said, "Matthew never said there was a tiger among the wanted criminals."

He looked hesitantly at the elk, "He did mention the elk, though."

The elk was very large, about the size of a tiger, with huge, sharp antlers that were magnificent and beautiful.

When Anne saw Scarlett arrive, she wiped away her tears and pointed at the reindeer, saying, "Cousin, she, she's Mennie!"

Just now, Anne opened the door and went out, intending to chat with Scarlett.

A tiger swooped down from the sky and attacked her.

She was startled and quickly stepped back.

As Mennie was tidying up her clothes in the room, she saw Tiger's expression change. Tiger's plump body moved nimbly, transforming into a deer in mid-air and blocking her way.

She instinctively called out Toby's name.

Then everyone arrived.

Anne couldn't believe it; it turned out that Menie was also an orc.

She stared blankly at it.

I don't know whether to worry about Meni or themselves.

The tiger tilted its head, its eyes looking at Scarlett, its face showing no ferocity, but unusual gentleness.

Scarlett nodded.

The tiger grinned, shook its head, and transformed back into human form under everyone's watchful eyes.

It's Matthew.

He walked up to Scarlett with a grin, "Hehe, I did a good job, didn't I? Don't forget what you said, you'd give me half the bounty."

Matthew comes from another planet, so he is naturally an orc.

So Scarlett discussed with him the idea of ​​testing Mennie.

Scarlett had suspected Menie for a long time.

Later, after rescuing Anne from Flüthner, Mennie stayed by Anne's side, behaving properly and taking good care of her, without showing any unusual behavior or intentions towards Anne.

So Scarlett didn't take action herself, but only sent Matthew to observe secretly.

All the other wanted criminals have now been found.

It's time to end the mission.

Scarlett didn't delay, using Matthew's beast form to force Mennie to reveal herself.

Mennie still cares about Anne.

Scarlett thought to herself.

When Meni saw that everyone had seen her beast form and knew her identity, she smiled and gave up struggling.

He glanced at Annie, his expression calm as ever, blinked, transformed back into human form, and turned to Scarlett, "What do you want to do?"

kill her.

We'll still use her to deal with other people.

Scarlett thought for a moment, then said, "Whatever you say."

Meni paused, "You mean?"

Scarlett: "It's up to you. You can leave or stay."

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away? Or come after you?" Mennie asked uncertainly.

"afraid."

Scarlett said, "But you are an orc, and we are ordinary people. We can't win, so the choice is yours."

“Ordinary people?” Mennie laughed. “But you are anything but ordinary.”

Scarlett didn't reply, but quietly looked at Menie.

Under her gaze, Mennie subtly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Scarlett, my ability is healing. I'm not good at fighting, so no one will need me."

A simple sentence represented Menie's defection.

Perhaps from the moment Anne carried her on her back, she had already decided which way to go.

She can't fight, and her mental strength isn't high either. She only comes to mind when an orc is injured and needs healing.

She was constantly being pushed around, not knowing what she was supposed to do, and no one cared about her.

Except for Anne.

That day.

Severi gave orders for her and the parrot to kill Anne, and to lure out the people hiding outside the manor, whom they would also kill.

Her presence there was no accident.

Naïve Annie thought she was going to rescue her.

She stumbled and fell several times, slowing Anne's departure and making the escape seem more real. Anne, however, stopped for her time and again to help her up, risking her own safety to run with her even in life-or-death situations.

So this is what it feels like to be cared for.

Even when leaving the manor, Anne was afraid of implicating her, so she wanted to take her with her.

Hivili went along with it.

She was ordered to monitor Anne.

But just as they were leaving the Fraser Manor...

Meni knew she never wanted to work for Severi again.

All she wanted was to stay by Annie's side and protect her.

Mennie glanced at Anne one last time and smiled, "Second Miss, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

“Mene…”

Annie looked at her too.

Mennie smiled gently.

He left without looking back.

……

……

Lanxi Street.

When Meni arrived, the street was a mess.

Vivian and Iphne lay on the ground, their bodies covered in frost, unable to move, with corpses lying beside them.

Francis coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, clutching his chest and sighing repeatedly, "It hurts like hell!"

Rachel's face was deathly pale, her eyelashes and eyebrows were covered in frost, a section of the snake's tail was broken off, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

Severi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said smugly, "Alright, it's all over. For the sake of our past working together, I'll give you a quick death!"

She spoke with gusto about burning their bodies with raging fire.

It hurts a lot, but you won't die immediately; this is her favorite way to torture people.

Shiverri acted immediately.

He gathered a ball of fire in his palm, about to smash it at Rachel.

A light green shield suddenly appeared in front of Rachel and the others, followed by a deep female voice saying, "Sorry, I'm late."

……

……

The underground labyrinth is getting colder and colder.

Ice has begun to form at the edges and is spreading towards the center of the maze.

Anne was still thinking about Menie.

Scarlett comforted her from the side.

The two sisters hadn't finished speaking.

A light screen representing the mission popped up.

[Task 1: Locate 12 wanted criminals. (5/12)]
[Task 1: Locate 12 wanted criminals. (6/12)]
They saw it at the same time.

"cousin!"

Anne grabbed Scarlett's arm. "Will Mennie be alright?"

Scarlett wasn't sure about that either.

Unable to give Anne a definite answer, she looked into Anne's worried eyes and said, word by word, "Anne, Mennie is a wanted criminal. She's part of our mission this time. They're destined to get hurt, or even die. It's unavoidable."

"Besides, this world is fake, just an illusion. They are long dead. Whatever the outcome, you have to accept it."

His words and voice were somewhat cold.

Scarlett must make Anne understand their current situation.

The more ruthless you are, the more likely you are to bring the other person to their senses.

Annie paused, her brows furrowing deeply. She slowly recovered from her worry and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, I understand."

"Bang!"

As soon as Anne finished speaking...

A teacup fell to the ground, startling someone outside the room.

The two looked at each other simultaneously.

Scarlett quickly opened the door and saw a graceful figure disappear around the corner.

Annie asked Scarlett from behind, "Cousin, you were talking to her too, right?"

Scarlett looked at the shards of white porcelain on the ground and hummed in agreement. "She has to accept this reality, otherwise she won't be able to live in peace."
