The "daughter" Mil, who was being fought over by several people, simply squatted down on the ground and started counting ants.

“It’s too late,” Jessica said, picking up Mill from the ground and ignoring her struggles. “Actually, I secretly poisoned you both yesterday. You’ll both die soon, and I’ll naturally adopt your daughter!”

"W-what? You're so cruel! Why? I love you so much!" Louise, fully immersed in the role, stretched out a hand towards Jessica.

"You bitch! How could you be so vicious? My daughter absolutely cannot fall into the hands of a poisonous woman like you!" Luo Li also put on a resentful expression, just like in the play.

...It must be said that although the plot of their performance took an unexpected turn, their acting skills were already good enough to star in a TV series, but...

"Actually, I've already planted a bomb here. We'll all be dead here soon!" Mir said with a sinister expression, but it only made her look cute.

"No, no, baby, why? I love you so much!" Luo Li said with a heartbroken expression.

"That's wonderful. To die with the three people I love most would make my life complete," Louise said peacefully.

"Before I die, I have something to tell you." Jessica, still maintaining her blank expression, leaned close to Mil. "Actually, I am your biological mother."

"No, you're lying! I'm the one who..." Luo Li grabbed Jessica's collar with a furious expression.

Good heavens, things are spiraling out of control.

"That bomb isn't going to explode for another hour. Aren't you going to run away?"

Upon hearing Mir's words, the three of them froze, then screamed and ran away into the distance, with Luo Li pulling Mir's hand as they ran together.

Then people strolling in the park saw four little girls screaming and running out of the garden, shouting, "Bomb! Bomb!"

In fact, most people don't take what children say seriously, but they were shouting "There's a bomb!" When it comes to matters of life and death, it's better to believe it than not, especially since their kingdom's little princess was among them.

And so the following scene appeared:

More and more people began screaming and running out of the park, shouting "There's a bomb!" as they ran. They infected even more people, and more and more people began to flee. Some people who didn't know the truth were also infected by the crowd and started to run away. After hearing that there was a bomb, they ran even faster.

"Holy crap! What happened?"

"I heard there's a bomb in the park. If we don't run away quickly, we'll all be dead!"

"Hey~ Where did you hear that? I heard this bomb is really powerful, and running away won't help. It can blow up the entire capital."

"Holy crap! Isn't that incredibly dangerous? Call the police right now!"

Soon after, a group of heavily armed special police officers arrived at the park in their special police cars. They were carrying all sorts of amazing items, ready to dismantle a bomb that could blow up the capital.

They first used magic to cover the park and sense it. These small bombs with huge power are usually magical items, but they found nothing. It seems that the terrorists had disguised the bombs with magic.

"Where is the bomb buried?" Their leader grabbed a fearless bystander.

"I don't know, I only heard there was a bomb, but I didn't hear where it was buried." As he spoke, the passerby spat out the sunflower seeds in his mouth.

The captain frowned. They didn't know when the bomb, which was powerful enough to destroy the capital, would explode. They had no time to spare and had to act as quickly as possible, but they didn't even know the bomb's exact location.

He shouted to the crowd of onlookers, "Does anyone know where the bomb is planted? This is a great achievement. If anyone can provide information, I will award them a reward of 500,000."

As he said this, he was also feeling frustrated. For such a momentous event as saving the capital, their headquarters could only offer a reward of 500,000.

However, the crowd just looked at each other blankly, and no one stood up to speak, because no one dared to speak out on such a matter that concerned everyone's lives.

The special police were quite helpless and could only have their men carefully take out the equipment to investigate the anomaly. They took every step very carefully, for fear that they might accidentally trigger the bomb.

As time went by, the special police officers were sweating more and more. Leveling the capital was no joke.

“In the little garden.” A sweet, childlike voice came from inside.

The voice was like an angel's voice to them. They turned their heads in the direction of the sound and found a little girl with white hair and pink eyes standing there. The little girl looked like a delicate porcelain doll, which stunned everyone who saw her.

Luo Li quickly covered Mir's mouth. She knew perfectly well that there were no bombs at all; they were just making things up while playing games.

Louise quickly ran forward to try and smooth things over, and with a completely unsmiling smile, she said to the SWAT officers:

"Police officer..."

"Alright, then let's not delay, let's go and defuse the bomb!"

The SWAT team leader completely ignored Louise. In his eyes, the location was just a child's initial statement and was not necessarily credible. No matter how beautiful the child was, she was still just a child. Although they would explore the small garden, they would only explore from there.

However, when they saw Luo Li with that child, they believed the child's words. After all, the child was with the princess of the kingdom! With the princess vouching for him, how could they doubt him?

So the special police put away their equipment and rushed toward the small garden as fast as they could.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Scapegoat

"What should I do?" Luo Li asked with a tearful face. "I'm sure my mom will spank me when I get home."

This time they've really gone too far. The rumors they spread will surely reach the entire kingdom in no time, and such a sin is enough to warrant a whole day of beatings from her mother and a month of confinement.

“Me too.” Louise made a look of utter despair.

Jessica maintained her calm expression, but her trembling little hands betrayed her.

Only Mir remained truly calm. She had courted death so many times before, had she never been prepared to be beaten? Anyway, Eileen wasn't around now, and she didn't believe that her newly acquainted father would dare to hit her... Well, she really did dare.

Meanwhile, the special police officers who ran into the small garden with their equipment began setting up the equipment and carefully conducting their investigation.

"Beep beep beep beep beep—"

"Found it! It's right here." A police officer called over his colleague.

"Dig it out quickly, be careful."

The group quickly set up the equipment. Digging out a bomb is a delicate task; a slight mistake could detonate it, so they all brought special tools.

A moment later, a pitch-black bomb appeared in their hands, with a watch on it that kept ticking, showing that only five minutes remained!

----------

Bei Guonan is a C-level ability user. At this level, he could normally do many high-paying jobs, but he chooses not to. He believes he has seen through the vanity of the world and no longer enjoys engaging in fighting and killing.

Well, actually he's just lazy, doesn't like hard work, and is even less willing to do dangerous things, so he only runs a small restaurant in the capital. Although this job doesn't quite match his abilities, he can still make a living.

However, one day, a customer who was looking for trouble suddenly came. He was a young man whose clothes looked a bit unkempt, whose temperament was not particularly outstanding, and who did not seem like a talkative person.

He recognized the customer; he was the manager of the small garden in the park, and he was usually the one who trimmed the garden.

It wasn't a big deal at first. The two weren't particularly close, nor were they particularly bad; they were just familiar strangers. The guy didn't make any fuss about "there's a bug in the bowl" or "there's a hair in the bowl," and he paid the bill properly without using counterfeit money.

But! This guy stole a bottle of chili oil that Bei Guonan had placed on every table in the restaurant for guests to use. This is simply unforgivable!

Because of this incident, Bei Guonan didn't sleep for three whole days. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally decided to take revenge on that bastard who stole his chili oil!

Although Bei Guonan is lazy, he is actually a very capable person. He is proficient in many kinds of magic and is a qualified inventor. Although he has not invented anything for a long time, he can still make a small gadget with some power.

Ultimately, he decided to blow up the place that guy was in charge of: "Little Garden" as revenge, and preferably get him fired.

He tinkered with it in his secret laboratory for three days and three nights.

He quickly made a time bomb. The bomb wasn't very powerful, at least not as powerful as the magic attacks of the big shots, but it was powerful enough to flatten the small garden. And afterward, no magical fluctuations would be detected, so no one would know that he made it!

To be on the safe side, he specially modified the bomb again to make its magical fluctuations undetectable. Although its magic could still be sensed by touching it, as long as the bomb was buried in the ground, no one would find out that he made it. He was also confident that his special bomb would not lose its power by being buried in the ground. In the end, his bomb would break out of the ground and detonate.

As for whether the bomb will hurt anyone? What does that have to do with him? They can only blame their bad luck.

After finishing the bomb installation, Bei Guonan buried it in the small garden under the cover of night. The silly manager didn't even notice that someone had sneaked in. This wasn't the real world, and there were no cameras for him to check.

Bei Guonan felt that his revenge was complete, because it was impossible for anyone to discover that he had made such a perfect bomb!

So he was completely bewildered when a group of SWAT officers, each at least a B-level officer, stormed into his shop and subdued him.

"Big brother, be gentle, I only pressed a low-powered bomb, what's wrong with that..."

Before he could finish speaking, the team leader slapped him on the back of the head.

"Shut up! You terrible terrorist. Be careful, tie him up and gag him. Don't let him escape with any tricks up his sleeve."

The team leader personally experienced how terrifying this guy was. He buried such a powerful bomb directly in the park, and even with so many people searching, they couldn't find it. If it weren't for that cute little girl reminding them, probably half of the people in the capital would have died.

Even more dangerously, when they found the bomb, he didn't sense any strong magical fluctuations from it. The fact that he couldn't even feel much magic from touching such a powerful bomb directly proves that this terrorist was highly skilled and could hide his immense magical power from others' magical fluctuations.

He hadn't even considered the possibility that the bomb wasn't very powerful. Didn't they see that the bomb was confidently buried deep in the ground? And they still said it wasn't powerful? Even the bomb disposal expert they had specially invited shook his head after dismantling it and left without saying a word.

Several people followed his orders and gagged Bei Guonan as well.

After all these things were done, the team leader looked at him.

"Alright, do you have anything else to explain?"

"Waaaaaahh ...

"Very well, it seems you have nothing more to say. Take me away!"

And just like that, the terrorist who planted a bomb in the park that could blow up the entire capital was arrested—a cause for celebration.

Meanwhile, Mir was completely bewildered. She had only told the policeman, as if she were stirring things up, that the bomb was buried in the small garden, but they hadn't expected that they would actually dig it up there.

"Thank you, little girl. Can you tell me how you knew the bomb was planted in the garden?" The team leader squatted down, trying his best to make his expression kind.

How am I supposed to explain this?

At that moment, Mir saw Begunan, who was being held down by the police and was still writhing. Mir's eyes lit up.

“That’s right, it’s him!” Mil pointed to the bound Begunan. “I saw him planting bombs in the small garden that day, saying he was going to raze the capital to the ground.”

"Waaaaah??? Waaaaahhhhhh!!! Waaaaahhhhhh!!!"

Chapter 99 It's in the nature of a reporter in another world to court death.

"Today, we all walked on the edge of death. The ferocity and cunning of the enemy left us helpless. However, a little angel stepped forward and boldly pointed out the murderer's actions. Let's applaud her!"

The crowd applauded the beautiful little angel on the stage. If it weren't for this little angel, they might have already died from that terrible bomb. A few reporters also took pictures of Mir.

Meanwhile, Mir on stage was completely bewildered. She really just wanted to cause trouble! How did she suddenly become the hero who saved the capital?

Not only Mir, but her three new friends in the audience were also completely bewildered. They had been playing games with Mir and knew that the so-called bomb was just a fabrication. They were already terrified of the trouble they had caused, but when the police arrived, they actually found a bomb, one that could flatten the capital...

Thinking of this, the three girls looked at Mir with starry eyes.

So Mir knew all along that they had a bomb planted underneath them? That's amazing!

Mil: "..."

I had a feeling that the three people in the audience had misunderstood something, but never mind...

Mir tugged at the SWAT team leader next to him, who still wanted to continue his speech.

Feeling the tug of his clothes, the SWAT officer turned around, crouched down, and looked into Mil's eyes.
