Lian completely ignored Gaifu, enjoying Lady Gaifu's gentle massage while squinting and murmuring:
"Your wife is definitely not interested in you personally, she probably wouldn't even bother to look at you. Your wife is quite delicious, but I've already used her, so that young lady might mind... Hmm, I heard you have a daughter who's still in school, right?"
Chapter 298 You want to be the daughter of the Grand Commander, right?
On a late summer morning, at Emerald's villa, Marcy was doing what was, to her, the happiest job.
Wash Amelie's black stockings.
Although with Emerald's strength, she no longer sweats, and even if she keeps her pantyhose in her boots for three days, there won't be any smell, every time Marcy holds Emerald's freshly changed black pantyhose in her hand, she seems to be able to smell that intoxicating scent. Every breath fills her lungs, and afterwards she feels so comfortable that she becomes somewhat dazed.
Just as Marcy was carefully cleaning the soft black silk fabric in her hands with a special cleaning solution, the communication magic device placed to the side suddenly started buzzing.
This communication magic device belongs to Emerald.
Amelie has two communication magic devices that she uses to contact relatives and friends. However, there are differences in the closeness of relatives and friends, and there are also differences in the importance and urgency of the matters to be contacted.
One of the communication magic devices is carried by Emerald. The contact code is known only to her family and most important allies, and this line is usually only used in emergencies, such as when Judy asked Emerald for help.
The other communication magic device is for daily contact. Anyone who knows Emerald and can be considered a friend can contact her. In most cases, this communication magic device is also with Emerald. Only when she is resting or meditating will her personal maid, Marcy, answer it for her.
The communication magic device was right next to Marcy at that moment, and it was clear that Emery was still resting.
Marcy put down the half-washed black stockings she was holding, dried her hands with a towel, picked up the communication magic device that looked like a hardcover book, turned it on, and connected the link:
"Greetings, Lord Lian... Yes, the young lady is still resting... Alright, I will convey your words to the young lady. May your business prosper and may you always be beautiful."
"Haha~~"
After hanging up the magical communication, a smile involuntarily appeared on Marcy's face:
"Young Miss is indeed incredibly resourceful; Miss Lian really did take the initiative to ask her out."
After quickly and concisely tidying up what she was doing, Marcy took Emerald's communication magic device and headed towards the bedroom.
The bedroom door wasn't closed, but Marcy didn't go in immediately. Instead, she knocked gently three times and waited patiently for 10 seconds before opening the door.
"Young Miss, I'm coming in."
The most eye-catching piece of furniture in the room is a large, light blue bed that is over 3 meters long and wide.
At this moment, Emeryte was lying in bed asleep, breathing evenly, with Sulina tightly wrapped around her waist like a pillow in her arms.
Yulia, who was sleeping in bed, should have already left to be her hero, because the window in the room was open. Yulia is the only one in the house who doesn't like to use the door and always forgets to close the window after flying out.
Flora, who also participated in last night's water magic battle, seems to have suffered the most crushing defeat. She was kicked by the sleeping Emerald at some point and fell off the bed. She is currently fast asleep, hugging a bed leg, and looks extremely tired.
Fortunately, the floor of Amelie's bedroom was also covered with genuine leather, just like the high-end sofas. The women usually didn't wear shoes at home, but walked around in various silk stockings, and it was very comfortable to sleep on it.
Before entering the bedroom, Marcy took off her plush cat slippers by the door and walked into the room wearing only black stockings. She stood in front of Emerald and called softly:
"Young Miss? Young Miss? Young... Ugh?!"
Emerald moved quickly, without even opening her eyes, and pulled Marcy, who was dressed as a maid, onto the bed, smacking her lips as she said:
"Sissi's here? Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry and want to have breakfast..."
"Yes, Miss. Sisi, am I your breakfast?"
Marcy, of course, would not refuse to fulfill her duty as a personal maid. She immediately used her fusion organ to produce liquid life flame, which would be worth millions of rens per milliliter if sold, and fed Amelie, who was actually craving food rather than being hungry.
"Hmm... Sisi is so great."
The miraculous power of the Liquid Life Flame almost instantly cleansed Amelie's fatigue from the all-night water magic battle, completely waking her up.
But Emerald didn't get up immediately. Instead, she rested her head on Marcy's lap again, enjoying Marcy's gentle and skillful head massage.
"What is it, Sisi? You woke me up before I naturally woke up, there must be something you want to tell me, right? Did Lian contact you?"
"Everything is going as you expected, young lady."
Marcy chuckled and nodded:
"Lord Lian has asked you to meet at the Drunken Red Mansion flagship store in Sphinx at noon, and there are less than two hours left until the appointed time. Considering that you will most likely need to make some preparations for this appointment, I have no choice but to wake you from your sleep, Miss."
"Well done, Sisi, you are now the best maid."
Emerald didn't hold back her praise. She patiently waited for Marcy to finish her massage technique before stretching and sitting up, extending one arm as if it were weak and feeble.
"Let's go, Sisi, help me to take a bath and change."
"Yes, Miss."
Marcy helped Amelie walk toward the bathroom in a position that would make her feel most comfortable.
About an hour later, Emerald, having washed away the marks of battle and changed into a new dress, took Marcy through a portal to Sphinx, to keep Rei's invitation.
"Young Miss? You've arrived! Welcome, welcome..."
Lian must have been keeping an eye on the situation outside the Drunken Red Mansion. As soon as Amelie's long black-stockinged legs stepped out of the car, Lian warmly greeted her.
"……snort."
At this moment, Emerald raised her face and said in a tone that seemed to be defiant:
"Oh dear... isn't this Miss Lian, the busy lady? I've tried to invite you out for a meal and a chat several times, but you always said you didn't have time. Why are you free today? Is the election already decided? So you don't need to worry about it anymore?"
"Not at all... Miss, you're joking."
Many nearby customers looked over curiously, but Lian remained unfazed and naturally walked over to take Marcy's place, supporting Emerald's arm as if Emerald were truly a frail young lady.
"I'm just a small business owner who runs a restaurant. What does this have to do with the election? I was busy preparing new dishes the other day, and as soon as I had some success, I immediately invited you, Miss, to come and have a good taste."
"New dishes? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Amelie did not refuse Lian's help, and they walked into the Drunken Red Pavilion together, with Marcy following about half a step behind.
In that familiar private room, Lian had already prepared a table full of delicious food, including many new dishes that I had never seen before. Each dish looked and smelled wonderful, making it very appetizing.
"So much delicious food..."
After Amelie sat down, leaning back slightly as Marcy tied on her apron to cover the grease stains, she remarked:
"It's a pity that Julia is indulging in her heroism today. She said she must help 100 people in need in Locke City and won't eat until she finishes. Otherwise, she would definitely be happy right now."
"Pfft."
Lian couldn't help but chuckle softly upon hearing this, and said with a gentle smile:
"Miss Yulia is indeed very cute, no wonder you spoil her so much, Miss... What if there weren't so many people in Locke City facing difficulties today?"
"Then let's create difficulties, that's easy."
Emery shrugged, looking completely unconcerned, and said:
"Yulia is too diligent. There are simply not enough wild villains in Locke City for her to fight, so I had to secretly raise a batch of them to keep her happy."
"Indeed, Miss Yulia may be a bit... well, but her perseverance in sticking to her original aspirations is truly admirable."
Lian said in a very sincere tone:
"Very few people can be like Miss Yulia, who, after gaining her current strength, wealth and status, still insists on going out on the streets every day to help others for free. No matter what some people say, I believe that Miss Yulia is a true hero."
"Haha... Yulia would be very happy if she heard that."
Amelie laughed:
“Lian, you don’t know, ever since our relationship was confirmed, there have been constant rumors about Yulia. She is always very sad when she hears them... because she sincerely wants to use her power to help everyone, but many people do not understand her and even slander her.”
"There are always stupid people, that's normal."
Lian offered a few words of comfort, then asked curiously:
"But since you dote on Yulia so much, you surely wouldn't let those who talked badly about her behind her back and spread rumors to hurt her get away with it, right? What did you do? Did you kill them all?"
"..."
Emery immediately rolled her eyes in a very charming way:
"Am I the kind of Khorne witch in your eyes, Lian? This really hurts me... Everyone says I'm beautiful and kind-hearted."
Before Lian could reply, Emerald immediately continued:
"Of course, those small fry who hurt my darling should be punished, but it's not necessary to kill them all. I just used a curse."
"A curse? What curse?"
Lian asked curiously.
"A curse that covers the entire Federation, a condition-triggered curse of doom."
A cold glint flashed in Amelie's eyes, but her smile turned sweet:
"Simply put, whoever speaks ill of Yulia in secret will be plagued by bad luck and become extremely unlucky, and the degree of misfortune is linked to the severity of the bad words spoken."
"If it's just about the rumors between Yulia and me, without any personal attacks, then at most it's like tripping on flat ground or having your wallet stolen while shopping, it's not a big deal."
"If someone secretly utters any vulgarities or makes a personal attack, they'll probably get hit by an out-of-control magic-powered car as soon as they step outside, be attacked by monsters as soon as they leave the city, and end up in the hands of a mad doctor who's secretly conducting human experiments after being injured and hospitalized... That's about it."
...And you still say you're not a witch? This method, while not as bloody as wiping everyone out, is certainly full of twisted humor.
Lian gave Amelie a deep look, inwardly complaining, but outwardly smiling happily:
"Oh my, Miss, you are so kind to them. You are truly beautiful inside and out."
"That's right, I'm beautiful inside and out... Cheers!"
Emerald was delighted by the praise. She picked up her wine glass, clinked it lightly with Rei's, and then downed the wine in one gulp. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks, as if she couldn't hold her liquor, making her even more alluring.
...What a vixen! Even the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect back then probably couldn't compare to you.
Lian thought to herself, and after clinking glasses with Amelie, she took a small sip and began trying to steer the conversation toward more serious matters:
"By the way, Emery, you'll probably be mainly developing your career in Locke City from now on, right? Then Julia will probably be following you and protecting Locke City, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Emerald's mind raced, and she probably guessed Rei's plan, but she still pretended to know nothing and blinked curiously.
"It's nothing... I just feel that there are too few heroes like Miss Julia, with only Locke City as one."
Lian shrugged:
"After all, the Allen Federation is so big. We could easily assign a hero like Miss Yulia to every major city, make movies about their stories, and then have them endorse advertisements or sell related products... Is that what your Blue Star Films is planning, Miss?"
"Well, almost."
Blue Star Films' commercial intentions are not hidden, and many people with business acumen have already seen them, but Amelie doesn't seem to care.
Because she has already monopolized the industry and has enough power to maintain that monopoly, she is not afraid of anyone trying to take away her share of the pie—those who try to take away her share will only end up becoming her takeout themselves.
In fact, those who saw through Blue Star Films' future development plans weren't thinking about stealing Amelie's cake, but rather how to develop related industries and ride the wave of success.
For example, several well-known toy manufacturers in the Allen Federation are currently researching various toys based on the theme of female superheroes, and are ready to cooperate with Emeryte in the future.
Many clothing, accessories, and snack manufacturers have also launched related products themed around the female hero, Yulia. They have already made a lot of money from Yulia and will invest more in the future.
"In the future Allen Federation, every slightly larger city will indeed have its own beautiful female superhero. They will all be contracted employees of Blue Star Films, making movies and attending various commercial events."
Emery candidly outlined her business plan, then sighed:
"But you have to eat one bite at a time, and take one step at a time. No matter how glorious my Blue Star Films may be in the future, it is just a new company that has been established for less than three years. We still owe the Ise Retsu Group a lot of loans... For now, we can only support one hero, my Yulia."
Lian simply smiled and remained silent.
Blue Star Films may not be a wealthy company, after all, it still owes the Ise Group 1000 billion yen in loans, but it is Blue Star Films that is poor, not Emerald.
If this young lady is considered poor, then the Allen Federation is a Federation of paupers.
The two drank a few more sips of wine and ate a few more bites of food before Lian Cai spoke again:
"I do have a collaborative project here. If it's successful, it could give you a new beautiful female hero under your wing, without you having to put in any effort."
"Oh? You're giving me a beautiful female hero, are you going to help me raise her?"
Emerald instantly understood the meaning behind Rean's words, and a smile appeared on her lips:
"This is really interesting... Lian, why don't you tell us first?"
"Well, I think I want to cultivate a beautiful female hero in Sphinx. She will still sign a contract with Blue Star Films and become your employee, accept your packaging and training, and become your money-making tool."
Lian held the wine glass and swirled it gently, her smile confident and alluring.
"And I will be responsible for secretly creating some hardships for her, letting her experience things that heroes should experience, but without letting her and the people around her really get into danger... Well, I guess I'll be like the protagonist in a novel."
“That job of yours is much harder than mine… If you can really do what you said, then I have no problem with it. My Yulia has been in the industry for more than two years now, so it would be good to find her a junior to mentor her.”
