My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 354: Reality Often Disappointing

Elysia paralyzed the guards around the underground dungeon, providing an easy escape path for Maya and Nina to get out of there.

After that, she went to a particular corner, wondering what Boss Zed and his allies would do. Boss Zed held a meeting with his friends and the other leaders in his private room.

"After what that person did to my business, I will bring him down today."

"Yeah, we have the spiritual power nullifier. Even though it can only work for a minute, it’s more than enough to kill him."

"As for the trap, are you sure it will be enough to lure him out here?"

"I don’t think so. He fancied that btch a little, but Zed had something more splendid to lure him here. If that guy doesn’t come after we harm his woman, then we can use Zed’s follow-up plan."

"And what is that?"

"Look at this. Our intel happened to discover this information. It’s him. His attire is similar, and the girl next to him, keke..."

"This is?"

"Yeah, we’ll kidnap her if he doesn’t show up today. I’m sure Maya has already brought the news to him that I refused to implement his rules. I will do nothing, and he will definitely come here again."

Boss Zed and his friends laughed out loud like a group of sly foxes.

’He should be removed. I have given him a chance to repent. We may be unable to eliminate all evil, but since they encounter us, I will not remain silent.’ Elysia made a decision.

It was still her old rules to enforce her justice and punish the evil for the problems she directly encountered. Once she decided to involve herself in resolving it, she would handle it until the end, and that should start from the highest leader, then the roots.

’Can I kill them?’ Ai proposed an idea.

’No need. Lin Yan will do it for us. Uhm... Why can’t I find Surin anywhere?’ Elysia was more concerned with Nina’s revenge target.

’I still remember his aura. Do you want me to hunt him down and bring him here?’ Ai volunteered to help.

’Thank you, Ai. However, please don’t kill him. Let Maya or Nina do it.’ Elysia gently pulled Ai from her shadow.

’Alright.’ Ai nodded in understanding. She grabbed Elysia’s hand for a blessing before leaving behind the shadows.

’Please don’t use your otherworldly power on Earth! I’ve lent you my divine power!’ Gaia immediately reminded everyone.

’It’s okay, Gaia. I have blessed her with a divine blessing using your power.’ Elysia tried to reassure Gaia, knowing Earth would suffer the imbalance if she or her family members used their otherwordly magical power on Earth.

’Is that you in that photo, Ely? If so, their target is clearly Linda. However, why is the photo a bit blurry? Cameras nowadays are super sophisticated, right?’ Elena peeked at the target’s photo in the meeting room.

’No. I was wearing my black-gold young master robe. Me, as Yorva Ther, wore an office suit disguised as a drunkard.’ Elysia looked down, checking her black-gold robe.

After this, she wouldn’t use Yorva’s identity anymore because she had to bring her name as Young Master El, the rising hero, too!

’Pfft, yeah, that’s it. Who knows where they got that photo. It’s Yorva Ther, Your Father, fufu~’ Elena recalled about it and couldn’t help but laugh.

A few seconds later, a subordinate ran toward the meeting room and opened the door hastily.

*Bam!*

"Boss, the reinforcements from the mainland have arrived! It’s urgent." The subordinate took a breath between gasps and immediately reported the situation without pause.

"Huh? Isn’t that great news? We can hunt down this Yorva with their help." Zed frowned, staring at his subordinate like he looked at a fool.

"It might have been different if the reinforcements were what you expected, boss. However, the underworld big boss, Supreme Leader Lin Yan, also came here!" The subordinate immediately reports the most important things.

"What!? Supreme Leader Lin Yan came personally?" Zed was a bit surprised, but he soon smiled broadly.

He signaled to his comrades, especially his most powerful people, to accompany him.

As the retired S-Class esper, Grandmaster Chuai was the strongest in Zed’s banner. He could only sigh and follow his boss. However, he couldn’t help but think about two of his proteges, Maya and Nina. He groomed them nicely for years but couldn’t even protect them yesterday. He didn’t even try it as the risks were too significant.

"If only it wasn’t because of that contract and my internal injuries..." Chuai muttered under his breath. It wasn’t the first time he had lost his proteges, but it was still hard to feel the loss.

---

"At least you should try to protect them. I might help you if you do, but reality is often disappointing..." After observing the cunning dealer, the former S-Class esper, Grandmaster Chuai, Elysia sighed.

She vanished from there and went to the main hall. She sat in a corner, behind the shadow of a wall, to avoid attention.

At that moment, Maya and Nina had just exited the underground dungeon. It was an easy escape because the guards were all unconscious.

In contrast to Maya’s bunny suit, which still looked clean and tidy, Nina’s suit was torn here and there, with several dried blood stains everywhere.

The two of them went sneaking around like intruders. They knocked out a guard who happened to pass by them.

Nina removed the guard’s jacket to cover her body before searching for Surin’s whereabouts with Maya’s help.

"Go to the main hall and meet me. Don’t let anyone notice you for now." Elysia sent a voice transmission to Maya and Nina.

"It’s young master." Maya stopped in her tracks and held Nina’s arm.

"I can hear his voice." Nina checked around, but she couldn’t see Young Master El everywhere.

She never expected this super-powerful esper would be the same lucky guy that night, but this person was one of the causes that led her to her misery. Well, it wasn’t entirely his fault, either.

She couldn’t ask much because she also did her best to bring that lucky guy to bankruptcy. He ultimately still helped her and healed her.

If she could follow such a powerful master, it would be her blessing. Maya had grabbed the deal, and she had to seize her opportunity.

"He said the main hall. How can we get there without anyone noticing? Let’s disguise ourselves first." Maya pointed to the nearby changing room.

"Wonderful." Nina looked down and felt like changing her clothes as soon as possible.

Maya and Nina came out of the changing room two minutes later, wearing a black bodyguard jacket, face mask, and sunglasses. They didn’t linger and immediately went to the main hall.

Somehow, it only took Maya a second to spot her young master, while Nina couldn’t find him anywhere. He sat alone in the corner, but strangely, nobody other than her seemed unable to notice his presence.

"Follow me quietly." Maya whispered and walked ahead.

Nina followed carefully. They took a little detour to avoid the people’s attention in the main hall.

Unfortunately, a group of people suddenly came from the side, accidentally running into them.

"Huh, wait. I don’t remember any members of the Nam-ngoen Team as slender as you." Zed frowned as he could sense something unusual from the suspicious two guards nearby.

"!!!" Maya and Nina were shocked and frightened, not expecting they would encounter the big bosses on their way.

They reflexively took a safe distance, but that response became a reassurance that strengthened Zed’s suspicions.

"You are not a member of the Nam-ngoen Team. Who are you, intruders!?" Zed shot like lightning to catch the intruders.

Maya stood in front of Nina, protecting her fellow sister. However, her arm was caught and squeezed very painfully. "Aah!"

"Woman?" Zed frowned and tore off the intruder’s jacket, revealing it was actually a girl in a bunny suit with a familiar, pretty face.

"Wow..." A pretty guy behind Zed removed his sunglasses to appreciate the sexy bunny girl more.

"Maya?" Chuai was shocked.

"Release her, bastard." Nina bit Zed’s hand hard.

"Shut up, btch!" Zed slapped the other intruder.

And yet, he was so surprised when he found it was Nina, but it made him angry. "How did you two escape from the underground? What did those unreliable bastards do?"

"Mister, please beat him up for me." Maya was terrified. She looked aside, trying to use her superpower on anyone around her.

"Do you think anyone would stand against me for you? You are just a btch for the rich." Zed sneered mockingly.

That was what he was thinking before a swift, deadly blow smashed his head from the side.

*Bam!*

Zed was blown away like a cannonball several meters away. He fell to the floor, but he immediately stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking questioningly and angrily at his friend. "What did you just do, Sir Phuroc!?"

"Are you stupid? I kicked your head to make your mind clearer. I didn’t know you had harmed such pretty girls like them. My lady, please don’t be afraid. I won’t allow him to hurt a beautiful woman like you." Phuroc took off his coat and put it on the bunny girl.

He also helped the fallen girl who had just been slapped by Zed to stand up.

Maya felt happy in her heart because she was one step closer to discovering her superpower ability. It might be related to her words and charm to influence those fascinated by her beauty.

"He wants to ravish and torture us, sir. Please give us justice." Maya pointed at Zed.

"That’s gone without saying." Phuroc bowed like an ethical gentleman. He then shot like a hurricane, hitting Zed with a powerful blow. "This is retribution for the harm you caused to them. Take my fist!"

"Are you out of mind, bastard!" Zed roared angrily.

The clash between two A-Class espers ensued, making the casino atmosphere chaotic.

"Let’s go." Maya grabbed Nina’s hand and ran from the scene as she didn’t know how long her power could influence that gale wind expert.
