Before Yulia could continue her attack, the fragments changed form again, resembling liquid mercury, transforming into triangular darts or shurikens that shot towards Yulia from all directions.

"...What a troublesome weapon."

Yulia had no choice but to give up the pursuit and retreat to dodge. The darts and shurikens that she had shot into but missed returned to Beth's hand like water droplets gathering together, transforming back into a mercury cube.

The battle returned to its initial state.

The subsequent battles were similar; no matter how Julia attacked, Beth's Mercury Cube could transform into a corresponding weapon to counter her attacks, preventing Julia from beating Beth into a rag doll as she had at the beginning.

Yulia had to admit that with her strength from her initial battle against Viliana, she really couldn't do much against Beth now; the performance of her new equipment and Suzuran's combat skills were simply too strong.

However, in the end, Yulia won the battle. She did not use any power beyond her limits, and her holy light shield remained intact.

Because the only strengths were Beth's equipment and Suzuran's AI, Beth herself was too weak. By the 74th minute of the battle, she had completely exhausted her strength and energy and practically fell asleep standing up.

However, Beth's performance was already good enough; at least Julia praised her highly, and Emerald was also quite satisfied.

So this time, Emerald was a little gentler, personally using holy magic to restore Beth's strength and eliminate her fatigue, and she didn't hold back her praise:

“Well done, Miss Beth… If you can continue to perform like this, then the title of the President’s daughter will not be far off.”

"...Actually, I didn't do anything, Miss."

Beth gave a wry smile, somewhat helplessly saying:

"After the auto-play mode was activated, I couldn't even control my own body anymore. The equipment did all the fighting itself, and I even fainted from exhaustion."

"It doesn't matter who fights the battle, what matters is the result, not the process... Do you think I don't know you're actually a noob? Otherwise, why would I set up the auto-play function? It's so that you can become a hero in the shortest amount of time."

Emerald simply waved her hand and then gave Beth some pointers:

"With the combat assistance module and the auto-play mode, you won't need to worry about combat anymore. Just remember to fill your equipment with magic before each action."

"You're not just a beautiful girl heroine, but also a beautiful girl commercial idol. Since you can't do anything in battle anyway, why not think of some cool lines to shout out during battle, or think about what kind of expressions and actions you should use to make everyone like you... Don't tell me you don't even understand these things."

"I understand, I understand, of course I understand, Miss, please don't worry."

Beth nodded quickly; she was quite confident in this regard.

Beth has virtually no fighting talent, but she's quite adept at using her youthful appearance and large breasts to charm everyone into liking her in a coquettish way... In fact, she's done this quite often before. When she was a child, she frequently caused the boys around her to fight over her, and if it weren't for the advanced medical technology in this world, it might have even resulted in deaths.

In conclusion, Beth passed the combat test.

Regardless of who fights, it shouldn't be a problem to just throw out some weaklings and let Beth complete her first battle as a beautiful idol hero.

So Emerald didn't delay any longer. She contacted Rei and took Beth directly to the Drunken Red House in Sphinx, intending for Beth to debut that afternoon.

There's no time to lose. Justin Talter, whose daughter Janet Talter has become Yaker's protégé, is now far ahead in the election.

It's impossible for Gafer Hewlett to turn things around on his own; he needs to get his daughter Beth to debut as soon as possible.

When Amelie left the Drunken Red Mansion three days ago, quite a few people had already seen her.

At the time, Amelie carried Beth into the car in her arms like a pet cat, so no one could see Beth's face clearly. They could only guess at her identity, but could not be sure.

Although in that situation, a simple magical perception would have been enough to confirm Beth's identity, Beth was being held in Amelie's arms at the time.

Using magical perception on Miss Melson's private parts? Are you out of your mind?

Chapter 302 Preparing for Debut

Many people have been very curious about the identity of the girl that Miss Melson brought home from the Drunken Red Mansion three days ago, and today we can finally find out.

Because Miss Melson's personal luxury car stopped in front of the Drunken Red Mansion once again, and the people who got out of the car with the young lady, besides her red-haired personal maid, were also a girl wearing a white dress with silver lace trim and white stockings.

The girl's face was as sweet and lovely as a child's, but her figure was as hot and voluptuous as that of a married woman. The combination of purity and desire greatly enhanced her charm, so it was not surprising that she would be favored by a rich young lady.

Those who recognized the girl were initially surprised, but then their eyes began to gleam with an excitement that seemed to anticipate a good show.

Many people had speculated about the girl's identity before, but now that they have seen her face clearly, it is confirmed.

The girl was Beth Hewlett, the daughter of Gary Hewlett.

She could have easily secured her position as the daughter of the next president, but Janet Talter unexpectedly emerged and became her biggest obstacle due to her status as a teacher.

If Beth and her father Gafer were to rely solely on themselves, winning the election would be hopeless; they would only be able to watch helplessly as Justin and Janet took away everything that should have been theirs.

People have always been curious about how Gafer would fight back against the suddenly appearing powerful enemy, and now Beth's appearance has provided the answer.

You're not the only one with a daughter, Justin! I, Gafford, have one too!

Your daughter can marry into the Lohid family, and my daughter can marry into the Melson family! Who's afraid of who? Come on, let's have a good fight!

Those in the crowd who understood what was going on found it somewhat amusing:

What's going on with this election?

Guéfau was able to gain the upper hand initially thanks to his wife.

Justin later turned the tide entirely thanks to his daughter.

Now, Gaif's strategy of turning the tables after being overturned is also using his daughter.

Can't you all try your best? What kind of ability is it to rely solely on your wife and daughter?

. . . . .

Beth certainly felt the gazes of others and understood the meaning behind them.

But she didn't care, and even took the initiative to link arms with Emerald, pressing her body tightly against Emerald's, showing it to those people.

She was terrified, yet she still mustered the courage to risk everything, all for the sake of getting close to Emerald.

Emerald immediately noticed Beth's little trick and knew exactly why Beth did it.

But Amelie didn't care. She just pinched Beth's soft cheek, picked her up again like a pet, and walked into the Drunken Red Mansion.

Lian was already waiting in the private room that was reserved for Emeryte, and a sumptuous feast had been prepared.

"How is it, young lady? This girl is quite promising, isn't she?"

Seeing that Amelie had already sat down after Marcy pulled out a chair for her, Lian held up her small porcelain wine glass and smiled gently at Amelie, asking:

"Can she be trained into a qualified idol hero?"

"...To be honest, her combat talent is terrible. Not to mention comparing her to my Yulia, any random professional mage would be much stronger than her."

Emerald first took a bite of the boiled dragon meat slices that Marcy fed her, then glanced at Beth, who was standing timidly beside her, before casually saying:

"Fortunately, her willpower is decent. Regardless of her motives, she stuck to my requirements, so I guess she barely passed the test... As for her lack of combat ability, I've already made up for it with the most advanced technology. At least she's good enough to be a decorative idol hero. It's unlikely that she'll actually protect the city and thwart conspiracies like my Yulia, but she's good enough to pose and deliver lines on the projection screen."

"Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Lian smiled and drank the wine in the small porcelain cup in one gulp.

"Most girls are rather weak. Not every girl is as strong as Miss Julia and Miss. You can't expect too much from them... In fact, I was always worried that you would throw Miss Beth back with a look of disgust. I'm quite impressed that she persevered to the end."

"It has nothing to do with gender; men and women are the same."

Emerald remained unmoved:

"A person may not be very talented, may not come from a high social class, may not have much wealth, and may even be illiterate and have never read many books... But his heart must be resilient and his will must be strong! If he cannot even be true to his own ambition and desire and persevere to the limit, then no matter how many resources and opportunities he is given, he will only be a nobody."

“True strength lies in the strength of one’s beliefs, but are selfish beliefs still beliefs? Miss, that’s a very novel and interesting point of view.”

Lian nodded thoughtfully, not delving further into the issue, but instead turning her gaze back to Beth:

"So? The new beautiful girl idol hero, Miss [Holy Mercury], can debut?"

"Sure, she can debut today. Now the pretty girl idol hero is all set, all that's missing is the villain and the victim, and the show can begin."

Emery smiled and nodded, then asked Lian:

"Right now, you're probably more familiar with the intelligence on Sphinx than I am... Do you have any good candidates you'd recommend?"

"Let me see..."

Lian then took out her jade ruyi, recited the incantation, and blew on it:

"May all my wishes come true, please manifest quickly and gather all the information!"

Whew~~~~

Another gust of strange wind blew by, causing Beth to instinctively tighten her body.

Amelie narrowed her golden right eye, trying to figure out the specific operating principle of this strange magic weapon, but found that she still didn't quite understand it.

Although magic and spiritual power are essentially the same, due to the different perceptions of people in the East and West, it is still difficult for them to understand each other without talent or opportunity.

Above the table of food and drinks, as the strange wind blew by, a detailed map projection of the entire Sphinx appeared, with many places already marked.

"Young Miss, look..."

Lian pointed to the marks on the map and said to Amelie:

"These are all places where Sphinx will hold public events today, and there will be quite a few people gathering... As it's the debut battle for Holy Mercury, it's better to choose a place with a lot of people and a lively atmosphere."

"Yes, no problem."

Emery agreed without hesitation, and then asked:

"So, are there any recommended places or destinations?"

"In theory, all of these places I've marked can be targets, but if you want to add some drama, I recommend this place."

As Lian spoke, she gently pointed her jade-like finger at a park in the west of Sphingard:

"It's quite a coincidence that Justin Talter is holding a campaign speech here in the park square today. Isn't that interesting?"

"Justin Talter? Isn't that my father's biggest rival? Do you, Mr. Lian, want me to attack him?"

Beth, who had been quietly listening in, finally couldn't help but speak up when she heard Justin's name:

"But isn't this a bit inappropriate? I want to be a hero..."

“Of course you’re a hero, so you’re supposed to save him… What could be more just and righteous than saving your father’s rival?”

Emerald grabbed a fruit from the table and stuffed it into Beth's mouth, then ruffled Beth's hair before turning her gaze back to Rei.

"That's quite an interesting coincidence, so the victim has to be Justin... Do you have any candidates for the villain?"

"There's no specific candidate, but it's still very convenient."

Lian also picked up a piece of fruit and took a small bite, even playfully licking it with her tongue:

"Don't forget, Justin Talter was the sheriff of the Sphinx district for a long time, and he was a tough one at that. During his tenure, he clashed with local gangs quite a bit, and many gang members and thugs died under his magic gun. Although the gangs in Sphinx have now been almost entirely absorbed by your aunt's dessert gang, it's understandable that those who were shot by Justin still have relatives or friends who want revenge, right?"

"Got it, I know what kind of villain to bring in."

Amélie smiled and nodded slightly, picked up the glass of wine that Marcy had already poured, drank half of it, and then forced the remaining half into Beth's mouth, giggling as she watched Beth choke.

"Well then, it's time to prepare for the afternoon's show."

. . . . .

In the underground sewers of Sphingard, under the influence of some kind of deathly and sacred magic, a consciousness that had been dormant for nearly 20 years was awakened once again.

Who am I...?

A soul that has been dead for many years should have forgotten everything from its life.

But the divine magic created a miracle, allowing his past to flash through his mind like a movie in just a few breaths, making him understand who he was and reminding him of his hatred.

...Yes, I am Grandi, and I seek revenge, revenge against that sheriff.

Grandi was originally a small-time hoodlum in Sphinx, not even a gang member. He made a living by running errands for the official gang members and earning tips.

Grandi didn't do anything good, but the bad things he did weren't too serious either.

If he were brought to trial and sentenced under federal law, he would face at least 10 years in prison, but that would be the result of multiple charges, and he rarely gets a six-month sentence for a single offense.

Grandi had robbed and stolen before, but only a few hundred ronds each time.

Grandi had harassed women before, but it was only verbal harassment. The most outrageous time was when he took off his clothes in front of a girl from dozens of meters away, without actually touching her.

In addition, there are other things like involvement in the trafficking of contraband, fraud, and money laundering. Grandi is always a low-level thug, and it's difficult to convict him under the law for some of these things. The best solution is to beat him up.

In short, Grandi certainly had plenty of good stuff, but he certainly didn't deserve to die.

Grandi died when he was very young, shot or murdered by a sheriff.

That day, Grand was strolling through the alleyways as usual when he suddenly discovered a corpse, still warm, clearly having died recently.

Grandy wanted to turn and leave, but the watch on the corpse's wrist was a designer brand. He could sell it for a pittance and get a thousand dollars, which would be a fortune for a small-time hoodlum like Grandy.

So Grandi couldn't resist the temptation and took the watch from the corpse.
