The villain daughter did all kinds of things

The gist of it is that the elven beauties found the seppuku performance very interesting and wanted the samurai to perform it again. Ideally, after the katana pierced his body, the elven beauty who had given the highest reward would personally hold the hilt and stir it. The elven beauties were all very interested in this.

The samurai would certainly not refuse the opportunity to earn money and be favored by beautiful women, but this kind of seppuku was very taxing on him. He could only perform twice a day at most, and said he needed to rest first.

The elven beauties were clearly disappointed, but they didn't refuse. They quickly pulled the warrior into the room to rest... Hopefully, he wouldn't get more tired from resting.

"...That's interesting."

Emerald, who fully understood what was going on with this seppuku performance, chuckled and shook her head with a sigh.

The samurai from the Kingdom of Sakura who first invented this training method actually shared the same idea as Emerald.

The samurai's claim of staying alive through sheer willpower was actually a matter of fully utilizing the idealistic nature of magic to prolong their lives, while relying on external medicine to heal their already dead bodies.

This process truly involved experiencing death, allowing the samurai's bodies and minds to be tempered and made stronger.

The same principle applies to Amelie's repeated damage to her meridians in order to break through to the Fusion stage, which she then had Marcy repair with the Flame of Life.

"No wonder seppuku performances have become a specialty of your Sakura Kingdom. It's really interesting."

Amelie's eyes lit up as she thought about it. She felt that this method could be used to train elite soldiers with strong willpower. She could try a cooperation plan with the military later. Moreover, observing death more often might also help her improve herself.

"I don't find this kind of performance interesting at all... Sister, you're so weird."

Rin Amamiya rolled her eyes at Emerald, then tugged at her sleeve:

"Let's go, sister... I really don't like the environment of brothels. I still want to watch a movie."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to see a movie right now."

Of course, Emerald wouldn't refuse her sister's small request, and soon carried Rin back to the movie theater's private room to watch the movie together.

The two of them watched movies for a whole day, almost all of them, since the founding of Blue Star Films. During this time, Marcy brought them two meals. In the end, Rin Amamiya fell asleep in Amelie's arms.

When she woke up, Rin was quite shocked. She only breathed a sigh of relief after she quickly checked her body and found that she had not been forcibly turned into an adult.

"What, my dear little sister, did you think I'd steal your food?"

Emerald found Amamiya Rin's reaction amusing and laughed:

"Don't worry, I would never do such a thing."

"Hmph, I don't believe it."

Amamiya Rin rolled her eyes coquettishly, stretched, and began to get dressed:

"Where shall we go today, sister?"

"Today we're going to... um?"

Just as Amelie was about to mention the sightseeing plans for the day, her expression suddenly changed, and the corners of her mouth turned up again:

"Something fun is happening again... Come on, little sister, let's go watch the excitement."

"...Where are we going? Not to a brothel again, is it?"

Rin Amamiya spoke with some doubt, but did not refuse. She even offered her waist to Emerald's arms, letting Emerald hold her as she flew away.

"No, this time it's right on the street."

Emery explained with a smile, then quietly arrived at the scene with Rin Amamiya, finding a secluded spot high up in the building to observe secretly.

The fun this time actually happened on the main street of the themed street, and the main characters were two people arguing: one was a samurai from the Kingdom of Sakura, and the other was a mage from the Allen Federation.

The warrior Emerald looked somewhat unfamiliar; she was probably not one of the first tourists to arrive with the delegation yesterday, but rather someone who came during the subsequent activation of the portal.

The strength of samurai and mages is not high; they only have the first major stage, namely the Seeking the Way Samurai and the Awakening Mage.

But their clothes were quite luxurious, so they must all be rich young men.

It's not uncommon for wealthy young men to get into fights on the street, and it's usually over women.

But this time, the conflict between the two had nothing to do with women; it was about the weapons in their hands.

No one remembers exactly how the topic was started, but the samurai believed that his katana was the best weapon, while the mage thought that bladed weapons were outdated and that the new era belonged to the magic gun.

The samurai was naturally unconvinced and challenged the mage to a duel. The mage did not refuse, and their street duel attracted the attention of passersby, which also alerted Emery, who was monitoring everything in Locke City through a surveillance system.

Members of the Shirakawa Security Company, responsible for security on the pedestrian street, originally intended to stop the fight when they arrived. However, they suddenly received direct orders from Emerald. Instead of stopping the fight, they supported it and called for medical assistance to prevent any accidents.

As more and more people gathered and medical personnel stood by, the samurai and the mage became serious—they had no choice but to have a fight now.

Whether in Shangying Kingdom or Allen Federation, the upper class has a tradition of dueling. Some things that are difficult to discuss with words can be resolved through duels.

Of course, not every duel has to be a matter of life and death. The samurai, mages, and people from Shirakawa Security Company discussed it briefly and then formulated a set of duel rules.

It's not exactly a matter of stopping short of a fight, but once one side is injured, the other side must stop attacking, and the injured side is immediately declared the loser.

After the rules were agreed upon, the samurai and the mage stood about 10 steps apart, and the Shirakawa Security Company personnel acted as referees, announcing the start of the duel.

brush!

BIUBIUBIU!

The result was, of course, without any suspense.

It's clear that the young samurai had trained hard; his sword-drawing movements were very skillful, and his sprinting and slashing speeds were also very fast.

Unfortunately, times have changed. The samurai had barely taken five steps when the mage's magic gun fired six steel nails. Only two of them were blocked by the samurai's katana; the remaining four struck his legs.

These steel nails weren't very lethal, and the young samurai still had a fighting chance, since his vital organs weren't injured. However, according to the rules, he had already lost.

The young samurai admitted his defeat, but he was not convinced.

He believed his defeat was not due to the katana being inferior to the magic gun, but rather to the unfavorable environment; the initial distance between the two was too great, and the magic gun had too much of an advantage.

"I admit that your magic gun is quite powerful, at least threatening from seven paces away, but within seven paces, my sword is definitely faster!"

While receiving treatment from the medical team, the young samurai also raised new points of view:

"Dare to have another match with me? This time, the starting distance will be 5 steps!"

"Okay."

The young mage, of course, was not afraid at all and readily agreed.

Handgun-type magic guns are generally not very powerful; it's normal for them to not kill someone even after a dozen or so shots to non-vital areas.

The wounds caused by these magical guns were also easy to heal. After a doctor in the medical team used water magic to heal the young samurai, he also gave the samurai a potion, and the blood hole in the young samurai's leg caused by the steel nails was almost completely healed.

Soon, the second round of the duel began again. The rules were as the young samurai had said before, with no changes except that the initial distance had been changed from 10 steps to 5 steps.

As the referee's hand signaled, the two confident players simultaneously launched their attacks.

The samurai lad has a dashing and stylish sword-drawing slash, while the mage lad has a six-shot rapid-fire attack.

The result was the same as the previous round, or rather, the samurai's performance was even worse - this time he couldn't cut off a single steel nail, and he had 6 more holes in his leg.

Things turned out to be completely opposite to what he had imagined. Not only were the magic guns faster beyond seven steps, but they were also both accurate and fast within seven steps.

"……how so?"

During his second treatment, the young samurai looked at his beloved sword, which he had used for more than ten years, with a rather forlorn expression.

"...A magic gun, is it really that powerful?"

Even Rin Tenmiya seemed thoughtful after watching this street duel:

“Right now, when we are fighting against the demonic tide, many brave warriors who are on the front lines still die at the hands of the demons, and even the magic of the Heavenly Shrine cannot save them... If we could equip them with magic guns, wouldn't that greatly reduce casualties?”

Chapter 294 Fated Death

"The answer is yes, my dear sister."

Regarding Rin Amamiya's insights, Emery simply breathed into her ear and chuckled:

“There’s an old saying in the Tianyun Empire next to your Shangying Kingdom that makes a lot of sense: ‘An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous.’ Simply put, the longer a weapon’s range, the more powerful it is. This principle applies even to a strong person like me. Being the first to strike is a huge advantage.”

"As for the arms purchase agreement, you don't need to worry about it at all, little sister. All the weapons you want were sold by my family. When your delegation comes here this time, we will definitely discuss this matter. Just have fun, little sister."

"Ah."

Rin Amamiya didn't say anything more, obediently leaning against Emerald's chest, and continued to watch the excitement.

Over the next two days, Emerald basically took Rin Amamiya to explore the entire area. They enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Champs-Élysées, shopped at various brand stores, and even went on a deep-sea adventure with Shasha and several revived Abyss followers.

On the fourth day after the portal officially opened, the Drunken Red Mansion branch that Emerald and Rei had jointly established also opened. Rei personally came from Sphinx to attend the opening ceremony and provided some training and explanations to the employees appointed by Emerald.

The staff at this Zui Hong Lou branch, apart from the chefs in the kitchen, are mostly young and beautiful women, just like at the main branch.

Of the total, about 40% are locals from Locke City and the surrounding area, about 25% are migrant workers from other cities in the Federation, about 20% are elven girls who have signed long-term labor contracts with Amelie for various reasons, and the remaining 10% are all black-haired, black-eyed Easterners who are the traditional wearers of palace dresses, cheongsams, and ruqun gauze dresses.

These people from the East are nominally from Shangying Kingdom. Amelie has asked her third uncle to make them a full set of identity documents, saying that they are all here in the Federation to study and work part-time.

But in reality, these people were not from Shangying Kingdom at all; they were all Netherworld cultists from the Red Robe faction sent to support Emerald.

These people are not highly skilled and have little combat ability, but they have all carefully studied social skills and charm techniques. They were basically infiltrating brothels when they were in the Tianyun Empire, so working at Zuihonglou is a good fit for their profession.

They are responsible for gathering various intelligence from the guests, but their real core task is to find a way to investigate Rei's secrets as employees.

However, this is clearly not something that can be achieved in the short term, because Lian is very busy. She left right after attending the opening ceremony of the branch store, without even staying for a meal. It is said that she has several social engagements waiting for her in Sphinx.

Lian does indeed have her own ideas about the Allen Federation election, and she's no longer hiding it. She's actively involved in political activities, lobbying for resources for the candidate she controls.

Seeing this, Amelie didn't insist that she stay, and instead took the girls with her to eat at the newly opened branch of Drunken Red Mansion.

The chefs here have all received training at the main store beforehand, and while they are still somewhat less skilled than the chefs at the main store, they have the advantage of being located near a teleportation portal, making it easier to purchase high-quality ingredients and seasonings from the East compared to Sphinx. Overall, they are about the same.

At least when she heard that Zuihonglou also offered the same kind of entertainment services as brothels, Amamiya Rin was originally reluctant to come, but she came because she couldn't persuade Emery.

But after tasting the delicious food at Zui Hong Lou, Tengu Rin's eyes lit up, saying that the imperial cuisine here was even more delicious and authentic than many restaurants in Shangying Country.

As the group was enjoying delicious food, fine wine, and watching beautiful women sing and dance while chatting, Emerald's communication magic device suddenly rang. It wasn't the kind of emergency call Judy made for help, but the way it rang indicated that it was something important and serious.

Emerald gently pushed away Julia, who was already sitting in her lap and clinging to her, wanting to drink the nuptial wine together, before answering the call. After listening for only a few words, her beautiful brows furrowed:

"Is that really true? Are you sure? Okay... I understand. I'll try to investigate it myself. Senior, you should keep Bobo company and have some fun."

The communication was initiated by Judy, who mainly informed Emerald of some information.

Regarding the incident where Judy was framed by the intelligence unit with false information, the special investigation team formed by the federal military has finally made some results after nearly working around the clock these past few days, which are quite unexpected.

First, there was the intelligence unit that was silenced.

Originally, Emerald and Judy both thought they had been silenced by some powerful figure. Both of them had personally witnessed the scene, and indeed, a considerable amount of magical energy remained, resembling the situation where a third-stage powerhouse had used a powerful attack.

However, the current survey results show otherwise.

According to the investigation team's analysis, the intelligence unit actually died from a natural phenomenon; they encountered a disaster called an earth eruption.

In the Eastern kingdoms of Shangying and Tianyun, there are various uses for the underground natural magical energy flow known as ley lines, and a variety of related technologies have been developed.

Although the Allen Federation has not made much use of the power of the ley lines, it has conducted related research.

The disaster known as the Earth Spirit Eruption is actually a collision and eruption caused by an excessive flow of magic when two or more ley lines converge.

The power of such a disaster is indeed great, enough to wipe out an intelligence unit in an instant, but the probability is extremely small.

It's almost like an army on Earth being wiped out by a falling meteorite.

After confirming it twice, Amelie also believed the result, because she felt that even if a person were to lie, it would be difficult for them to come up with such a lie.

But sometimes the truth is more outrageous than people imagine. The people in the special investigation team shouldn't be so crazy or stupid as to fabricate such a result to deceive their superiors.

In addition to investigating the true cause of the intelligence unit's demise, the task force also conducted a detailed investigation into the financial situation of each member of the unit, hoping to determine whether they had received bribes from someone to frame Judy.

As a result, their economic situation was normal, no one secretly accepted bribes, and no one was so desperate for money that they had to take risks.

Not only that, but something even stranger happened.

The entire intelligence unit at the base was wiped out by the earth elemental eruption, but the people inside the base were not the entire intelligence unit. At that time, there were still more than 10 members of the unit on leave or on missions outside.

But all of those 10-plus people died, all in accidents.

Someone was hit and killed by a female driver who had just started driving and was driving a magic-powered car. Someone accidentally poisoned themselves while cooking at home. Someone else's magic circuit broke while taking a bath, turning them into an ice sculpture in the water.

The most outrageous incident involved a person who was hanging clothes to dry on his roof when a beverage can was run over by a truck dozens of meters away. The can flew over and hit him on the head, knocking him unconscious. He then fell from the roof holding the clothes rack, and upon landing, the clothes rack pierced his throat.

In short, everyone's death was a strange coincidence, and the way they died even reminded Amelie of the classic horror movie "Final Destination" from her previous life.

When too many coincidences occur, they can no longer be considered coincidences.

The investigation team's current findings should be correct; at least they haven't lied. However, it will be difficult for them to find out anything further.

That's why Judy notified Emerald as soon as she received the news, hoping that this resourceful young lady could come up with a solution.

The enemy's methods were so infuriating that Judy was sweating profusely and her heart was pounding. She didn't want to die in Xiao Nanliang's bed due to some accident; that would be too shameful.
