The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Before Grandy could even dispose of the watch, Sheriff Justin personally led a large number of police officers to arrest Grandy, using the watch as evidence to claim that Grandy was the murderer.

Grandi, of course, refused to admit it and loudly protested his innocence, saying that he was just a petty thief and had absolutely no intention of killing anyone.

It's actually quite common for petty thugs to discover the victim's body first and steal some of their belongings. In the past, the sheriff would probably just ask him about the situation at the scene, lock him up for about 10 days, give him a beating at most, and then release him.

This time was different. The victim was a person of status, and the higher-ups put enormous pressure on the sheriff to solve the case within a day, which was almost impossible.

For the sake of the sheriff's career, Grandi has no choice but to compromise and be admitted as the murderer even if he isn't.

The sheriff initially beat Grandi severely in an attempt to extract a confession, but Grandi refused to cooperate.

So the sheriff came up with another plan. When he assigned people to watch over Grandi, he deliberately created loopholes, giving Grandi multiple opportunities to escape.

Grandi couldn't hold back any longer. Fearing he would get beaten up if he stayed in the federal police station, he took the opportunity to escape and planned to hide away to avoid trouble.

But this played right into the sheriff's hands. When Grandy escaped from the police station, the sheriff didn't hesitate to pull out his magic gun and shoot Grandy dead. He then claimed that Grandy had attacked the officers, tried to escape, and even stole a magic gun, so he was executed on the spot, and that he was the murderer.

Grandi was already dead at the time, so there was no way to refute the accusation. The real culprit had probably achieved his goal and stopped committing crimes. The case was thus successfully closed, and the sheriff gained the appreciation of a powerful figure, laying an important foundation for him to marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and become a winner in life.

That's right, the sheriff who plotted to kill Grandi was Justin Talter, Beth's father's biggest rival.

Now resurrected in the Sphinx sewers, Grandi has no idea what kind of being he has become, nor what he should do in the future. All he wants now is revenge.

Guided by some mysterious force, Grandi leaped and bounded through the sewers like a monkey in the jungle, moving at full speed in one direction.

His enemy was right there.

. . . . .

West of Sphingard, in the park square.

"Good public security is the key to ensuring everyone's happy life! Unfortunately, the federal government doesn't pay enough attention to this right now, but I will change that..."

Justin, a burly middle-aged man, is giving a passionate speech on a makeshift stage, talking about what he would do if he became president.

Perhaps because he himself was a sheriff, Justin places great importance on law and order. His future governing policy is to increase efforts to maintain law and order, ensure the safety of the living and working environment, and encourage young women to go to and from night shifts or go out shopping at night.

This policy received considerable support, so there were quite a few people gathered in the park square to listen to Justin's speech and to support him, numbering nearly several thousand, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Beth also disguised herself as a passerby strolling in the park, watching the speech from afar and waiting for the villain who would be her co-star to appear.

Knowing in advance that bad guys would cause trouble, Beth was the first to notice the anomaly: a manhole cover in a crowded area suddenly vibrated twice in an unusual way.

Bang!

Immediately afterward, the manhole cover flew off, and a humanoid monster, nearly two meters tall and covered in black mud, leaped out of the well and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"You despicable and shameless Justin, die!"

Just then, the flying manhole cover landed back down. The mud man caught it and, like Captain America throwing his shield, hurled it at Justin.

"Protect the adults! Evacuate the crowd! Quickly!"

As a politician eligible to run for election, Justin now naturally has his own bodyguards, who immediately began to act after the appearance of the Black Mud Man.

A bald, burly man in a black suit stood in front of Justin, clapping his hands together. A roughly 5-meter-high earthen wall rose up in front of him, blocking the flying manhole cover.

In addition, three men in black suits attacked the Black Mud Man. Two of them fired three-round bursts of magic guns that resembled automatic rifles, while the remaining man pulled out a baton with an electric current coiled around its tip and charged towards the Black Mud Man.

Roar!

The black mud man merely roared in response, and the steel nails fired from the magic gun at him were like pebbles thrown into the ocean, causing no effect whatsoever. It was as if his body was not ordinary black mud, but a human-shaped black hole.

The man in the black suit wielding an electric baton quickly reached the man in the mud and smashed it down on his head.

Snapped!

This time it finally felt like hitting the mud. The stun baton actually went straight into the mud man's body, hitting him from the head all the way down to the body, but it also got stuck.

Whoosh!

Despite being beaten so badly, the Mud Man acted as if nothing had happened and immediately launched a counterattack, swinging his arm at the guard in the black suit.

Fortunately, the bodyguard in the black suit was also a mage with rich combat experience. He released his grip on his weapon and dodged backward in advance, otherwise he would have lost his fighting ability with just one blow.

Thanks to the time bought by the three bodyguards in black suits, the nearest crowd had dispersed, but people didn't go far away; instead, they hid in places they thought were safe and continued to watch the spectacle.

Justin's bodyguards also arrived, totaling six people. Apart from two bodyguards who were only awakened mages and were using magic guns, the remaining four were all in the mastery stage. This group of bodyguards was quite strong, roughly equivalent to the configuration of the M-class squad of Melson Security.

The bald, muscular man who appeared to be the captain and was skilled in earth magic remained by Justin's side to provide close protection. The remaining three master-level mages joined the battle against the black mud men, while the two awakened mages also occasionally used magic guns to suppress them.

Everyone thought the Black Mud People wouldn't last long before they were defeated, but things turned out differently than they expected.

The Black Mudman's strength and speed attributes aren't very high, and it doesn't have any special abilities, but it's incredibly durable.

The black mud man ignores attacks of insufficient strength, and attacks that can damage him are rarely effective—even if you use explosive fire magic to blast the black mud man to pieces, the mud droplets can reassemble and revive within a few breaths, making him virtually indestructible.

The mages who protected Justin, however, did not have this ability. The Black Mud Man could fail countless times against their attacks, but they could only fail once against the Black Mud Man's attacks.

As the Black Mud Man became more and more proficient in mastering his own power, he completely abandoned defense and adopted a fighting style of exchanging injury for injury or even risking his life. The men in black suits quickly could not hold on.

After the man in the black suit, who was at the forefront, was the first to be sent flying by the Black Mud Man's arm, collapsing to the ground coughing up blood and unable to get up, the remaining mages who were attacking from a distance were also hit one after another. They were all severely injured by the Black Mud Man in the wildest way and would be unable to fight for a while.

"I'm going to kill you, Justin!"

After clearing the obstacles, the Mudman charged at Justin again, this time with only the bald giant protecting him.

Seeing this, Beth wanted to transform and make her appearance, but was stopped by the voice of Emerald that suddenly rang in her head:

"Don't rush... That guy is your father's rival, right? Don't you want to wait until he makes a fool of himself before saving him?"

"That's right."

Beth immediately relaxed again and continued watching the show.

The bald, burly man who was skilled in earth magic was quite powerful and was undoubtedly the strongest member of the guard squad. He was also a mage, not a sorcerer.

However, he is also the least useful against the Mudman, because he specializes in earth magic. Using earth to fight mud is basically the same as using water magic to fight water elementals. The only thing he can do against the Mudman is to defend with earth walls.

A one-sided defense will only lead to defeat. As the berserk black mud man smashed the earthen wall that blocked his way for the third time with his fist, the bald giant also coughed up blood and collapsed due to exhaustion of magic power, losing his fighting ability.

"...Useless! You all bragged about how great you were when you took the job, but when things actually came down to it, this is what you're like? I shouldn't have tried to save money and hired the M-level team from Merson Security!"

Justin couldn't sit still any longer. He angrily cursed and glanced at the crowd of onlookers who hadn't yet dispersed.

He can't run away... If he runs away, his political career will be over. If he, a former sheriff, abandons the people and runs away when faced with danger, how can the people believe that he can protect them after he comes to power?

Fight!

Justin's eyes hardened, and he summoned the courage he had when he was a sheriff. He pulled out his magical pistol and fired at the black mud man:

"Come on! You want to kill me? Then come on, you bastard!"

At the same time, he prayed frantically in his heart:

Where are the other mages and powerful figures of Sphinx? Come and save me!

Chapter 303 Successful Debut

Justin actually possessed the strength of a master mage; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the sheriff in charge of a district in Sphinx.

But that was in the past. Since stepping down from frontline work and switching to pure management, Justin has hardly fought anymore and has long since become a nobody with nothing but magic.

His ridiculous attempt to fire his magical pistol had no effect whatsoever. The black mud man who rushed in front of him grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. He struggled wildly with his limbs, but to no avail.

However, the Mud Man didn't kill Justin outright, nor did he knock him away like he did with the bodyguards in black suits. Instead, he roared at Justin's face, spraying his sewer-smelling mud onto Justin's face.

"Justin! When you plotted to kill me to close the case as quickly as possible, did you ever imagine that this day would come? I, Grandy, have returned from hell to take my revenge on you!"

The crowd that had initially intended to flee after seeing Justin's guards all defeated changed their minds after hearing what the Black Mud Man said.

Since this black-clad figure is clearly conscious and rational, and seems to possess some unknown dark history about Justin, this juicy gossip is too good to pass up.

The journalists and supporters who had previously used magic devices to record Justin's speech now all pointed their devices at the Black Mud Man, hoping he would continue to reveal more.

Justin's eyes flickered; he still remembered the name Grandi, after all, that case was a crucial opportunity for his rise to power.

But Justin certainly couldn't admit to such a dark past, and his success in becoming a politician after being a sheriff was no accident; at least he knew very well that his political life was more important than his life.

So even though he was terrified and desperately hoping some powerful passing expert would come and save him, Justin still held his head high:

"I don't know you! You must have mistaken me for someone else! I, Justin, have lived a life of integrity and have no regrets. When I was sheriff, the people I shot were all heinous criminals who deserved to die! I don't know what power you gained to return from hell, but you will eventually have to go back down again... Ugh!"

puff!

The man in black mud clearly couldn't stand Justin's ramblings anymore. He first kneed Justin in the stomach, then slapped him across the face.

"Hypocritical bastards! None of you politicians are any good! You killed me for your own career back then, and now you can kill even more people for your own career! If someone like you becomes president, the Federation has no future!"

Snapped!

Before Justin could even defend himself, the Mud Man slapped him again, making Justin see stars and drool and snot run down his collar, leaving him in a sorry state.

Beth watched with great interest. She genuinely disliked Justin—if it weren't for Justin's sudden rise to power posing a serious threat to her father, she would probably already be preparing to be a good daughter of the Grand President.

"That's about it, it's your turn to step in, Holy Mercury."

Emerald's voice suddenly rang in Beth's head, and before Beth could react, her body was taken over again, and she rushed out.

Beth's first instinct was to refuse, not because she wanted to disobey Amelie, but because the feeling of her body being out of her control was too strange and frightening, and it was only natural to instinctively resist.

However, when Beth tried to regain control of her body, her brain sent her the following message:

Your system has been taken over by higher-level privileges. Please try again later.

His tone was quite polite, but the content chilled Beth to the bone, leaving her with a bitter smile.

What do you mean my body has been taken over by a higher authority? This is my body! Shouldn't I be the one with the highest authority?

Sure enough, some of the rumors were true. That young lady was indeed a witch, and I was probably just a toy who sold my soul and body to the witch in exchange for power and fame.

Even if she becomes a seemingly glamorous superheroine and the daughter of a powerful leader, she'll actually just be that young lady's toy, and will be subjected to all sorts of things in various places...

"Don't think nonsense! You idiot!"

What made Beth even more helpless happened, because Emery clearly knew what she was thinking, and reprimanded her sternly:

"I had you entrust your body to the combat support module for your own good... Why don't you go and fight that black mud monster yourself?"

"Uh……"

Remembering the horrific sight of the black-suited bodyguards being sent flying, Beth immediately cowered, mentally screaming:

"No, no, I'm just a nobody, completely inept at fighting. I'll just leave it to that combat support module. I don't care at all about not being able to control my body... I really don't care at all, you have to believe me, Miss!"

"……Why."

Emery sighed with a hint of helplessness, her voice softening again:

"Don't worry, although my magic may be difficult for you to understand, I'm really not the kind of witch who manipulates people's bodies and souls. At least you're free in most situations, understand?"

"I understand, I understand perfectly!"

Beth quickly expressed her opinion:

"From now on, I will be your little white cat, Miss, absolutely loyal to you and obedient to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"..."

Emery was silent for a few seconds, seemingly speechless, then she skipped the topic and instructed Beth:

"You don't need to worry about the battle later, but you need to think of some cool lines. This is your debut battle, so you need to do your best."

Communication within consciousness is incredibly fast, and this conversation that took place in Beth's consciousness was completed in an instant.

Just as the Black Mud Man was about to continue using violence against Justin to force him to admit that he had deliberately fabricated a false case years ago, Beth appeared.

The gorgeous and adorable white magical girl-style dress, adorned with a lot of silver lace, tightly hugged her short but voluptuous figure, and the white pantyhose that looked like solidified milk beneath the flowing skirt made the girl attract everyone's attention the moment she appeared.

"Monster! Holy Mercury is here, you are not allowed to hurt anyone again!"

As Beth spoke, she threw the silver 6x6 Rubik's Cube in her hand. The cube then transformed in the air into a spear over three meters long. The end of the spear returned to Beth's hand, which she gripped with both hands and swung it horizontally with great force.

Overlord Spear - Sweeping Through Thousands of Troops!

"cut."

The mercury-infused spear came at a ferocious speed, and the Mud Man could only toss Justin aside and shout:

"I'll put you on trial later, you hypocritical bastard!"

He then grew one arm thicker and longer, transforming it into a black mud club, which he used to meet Beth's spear.

!

The mercury spear and the black mud club immediately collided, but there was no sound or vibration as when metal weapons collide; instead, they both changed their moves.
