A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

The girl paused for a oment, then said thoughtfully, "Mr. Ansel, what is Miss DappleSpider's relationship with the other underworld bosses?"

"She has some cooperation with Rodent." Ansel replied softly.

Ansel's words made Marlina fall into thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Seraphina, on the other hand, was dumbfounded as she watched the conversation between Hyena and DappleSpider on the screen. Their discussion was transmitted word for word into her ears. Although they went round and round, in the end... it developed exactly as Marlina had said. Just like her previous reproduction of Hyena's thought process, it was exactly the same!

To ensure that DappleSpider wouldn't turn against him, and for DappleSpider to ensure Hyena's credibility and safety afterwards, they indeed signed a highly restrictive magical contract.

"Marli... you are truly remarkable!" Seraphina expressed her genuine admiration, "I could never have thought of so many things... If I were Hyena, I would probably have charged out and fought them directly."

Ansel, unable to suppress his amusement, remarked, "That could indeed be a good choice."

"Hmph, a good choice? I don't believe it!"

The young Hydral merely chuckled, "Let's see what our Mr. Hyena will do next."

"Hmm... there's still a long time to go."

Seraphina leaned her head on Ansel's shoulder, yawning, "It feels like he's not far from being done, which is strange... Normally, such complicated schemes would take several days to complete. Ansel, how did you manage to squeeze all of this into a single day?"

"Waiting is for the right moment, and if the moment is right, there is naturally no need to wait."

Rodent and Vulture are probably celebrating in their lairs right now. Who would have thought that Hyena, who had suffered such a setback, would go mad and join forces with the DappleSpider for a counterattack?

This is the moment, a very... coincidental moment.

As for why this coincidence occurred, as for what drove Mr. Hyena to go all out...

Of course, it was his own choice. Could it be Ansel, who was sitting here watching the show, who had done nothing but say a few words and give a gift?

Time slowly passed, under the live broadcast of Lawrence, Ansel and the others watched as Hyena and DappleSpider infiltrated the headquarter of Vulture and Rodent. A fierce battle was about to erupt.

Seraphina immediately became excited, "Fight, fight, fight! I've been waiting for this moment. Let them all die, at most let DappleSpider survive, although it's unlikely... Ah, right, Ansel, the noise from the fourth-stage fight is a bit too much, isn't it? Is it really okay to fight in the capital?"

"You don't need to worry about that." Ansel pointed to the top of the upper city area, also the highest point of the capital, that palace named Anthicheg, where the never-extinguishing second sun was burning.

"Here, under the suppression of Her Majesty, only the fifth stage, and some special beings... like you, my pact head, can exert their true strength. Other extraordinary beings are passively subjected to strong suppression and can't cause much trouble."

"Otherwise, Ravenna wouldn't have escaped so many assassinations so easily. Some assassinations might not even be blocked by puppets."

Seraphina clenched her fist, feeling no sense of suppression at all.

"So being a pact head has such benefits..."

"If she really wanted to suppress, the fifth stage and you now would be suppressed without error." Ansel rubbed Seraphina's head, "But, wait until you become stronger, the essence of Hydral will be able to support you against that future Majesty." Find adventures at mp-y,r.

In the midst of their conversation, Hyena, who had been calculating, had made ample preparations, planning to join forces with DappleSpider to directly assassinate Rodent and Vulture.

Business? Commercial warfare? If you want to defeat your opponent, why not just kill them directly?

Under normal circumstances, doing so would lead to a trial in the imperial court and imprisonment, but this is the black market, and behind him, there is a Lord Faust who promised him that he could handle the other backstage people!

Whether Hyena believes it or not, if he does nothing, the final result won't be much better, so it's better to go all out.

However, an unexpected event occurred again.

DappleSpider, who was also hiding, remained indifferent, watching as Hyena alone rose up and fighted towards Vulture and Rodent. The contract magic took effect at this moment, she instantly bled from her seven orifices, fell to the ground with a pale face, directly lost her combat power, but Hyena, who was alone against Vulture and Rodent, obviously had no chance of winning.

"Ah? Really? This guy got sold out again?"

Although somewhat schadenfreude, Seraphina was not pleased, "His way of dying is too funny, Ansel, did you do it on purpose?"

"Seri..." Marlina rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Did you forget the gift that Mr. Ansel gave him?"

"Gift... Ah!"

Seraphina immediately reacted, "That bottle of... what was it, oh! The Water of Redemption!"

The Water of Redemption, a paramount masterpiece of the Holy Church in the realm of the extraordinary.

The Holy Church, a church that arrived with the opening of the Eastern Harbor route, hailing from the other side of the Heavenly Path Mountains.

It is said that they are the de facto rulers of that land, a place unlike the Empire, where numerous small nations coexist. The Holy Church, as the largest organization of extraordinary beings, stands above all nations, much like the Empire itself.

They possess a technology even the Empire lacks — the ability to create extraordinary beings regardless of qualifications.

Emperors throughout history seem to have deemed such a "rival" necessary, hence they did not hinder the propagation of the Holy Church within the empire. However, the emperor's power and majesty, surpassing all divine beings, made it difficult for the citizens of the empire to revere these metaphysical and elusive deities.

Therefore, even though they have been preaching for centuries, their influence among the populace is not particularly significant, despite not being negligible.
