The Villainess With A Heroine Harem-Chapter 558 Baited

Chapter 558 Baited

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Contrary to her manager's belief, Emilia wasn't really trying to make her life any harder. If anything, the crimson-haired girl felt that she was already being very considerate by not running off when she easily could have done so.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem like her manager appreciated it very much, and Emilia even had the feeling that the lady would have tried to twist her ears off had she not been expressly prohibited from 'punishing' her by Crystal in advance.

"If you want to win over people's hearts in Carmen, you cannot always be so willful!" The manager continued to chide her. "Miss Crystal might have faith in your appearance and ability, but let me tell you, just that is not enough for you to succeed!"

Of course, the lady couldn't deny that whether it was the cute factor or the general charm she radiated, little Emi was definitely top-tier, but she wasn't lying when she said that wasn't enough.

How many people in the world went down this road, and how many ended up succeeding in the end?

As someone with extensive relevant research under her belt, the manager firmly believed that succeeding on this path required not just ability and luck, but also a dedicated and persevering personality!

Of course, with the sheer amount of resources that White Deer planned to invest, combined with the innate charm that the girl had shown, simply making little Emi succeed wouldn't take much effort on her part. But how could that be enough?

'Making little Emi learn self-control is a must! Otherwise, how would she ever be able to do justice to the image of our princess?' The lady shook her head furiously. 'I would rather disobey miss Crystal than bring dishonor to my angel!'

By the time that the poor manager realized that 'little Emi' had run away while she was still motivating herself, it was already too late.

Although this port town of Carmen could be considered extremely dangerous for someone like 'little Emi' in the eyes of most people, she wasn't really a normal child after all.

Emilia was confident that even if she had to fight multiple powerhouses of the Nightingale clan at the same time, she would still be able to handle them with ease.

The boost to her strength and abilities after having completed two of her missions was already enough for her to walk all over this world without fear.

Not to mention hindering her, the weakened 'world will' right now wouldn't even be able to expel them from its own world if it discovered her true identity.

If not for the fear of it abandoning everything to run away and hide for an egregious amount of time, the crimson-haired girl wouldn't even feel the need to bother with the cloaks and daggers.

Of course, just because their victory appeared seemingly assured, Emilia knew that she couldn't stop being prudent and cautious.

Even if the odds of success were close to a hundred percent, if she slacked off and ended up failing anyway, whom else would she have to blame but herself?

"Little girl, it's getting late now. Shouldn't you head back home?"

"I will, uncle!" Emilia grinned brightly as she thanked the local hawker after he handed her the candied apple, and 'carelessly' wandered the streets while nibbling on it. 'I guess they should be ready to strike any moment now, right?'

Obviously, she hadn't sneaked off on her own in such a 'dangerous place' without reason.

She didn't want to wait around passively for her manager to build 'proper image and momentum', instead, Emilia preferred to take things into her own hands.

Before long, she had 'inadvertently' wandered into a deserted alley, and as expected, it didn't take long for those greedy eyes in the dark to come out for her.

The half-nibbled candied apple fell to the ground with a dull thud, and what could have been a precious treasure for the knights was thus forever lost with no one being the wiser.

Within moments, 'little Emi' was knocked out with a drugged cloth to her face, and seeing her body turn slack in her arms, the assailant breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had her eyes closed while pretending to have fainted, the crimson-haired girl could still easily observe her surroundings using chaos energy.

Naturally, things like chloroform or sedatives had no effect on Emilia, as they barely lasted a moment after getting into her body, and then vanished into the void, just like all the food and water she consumed.

Even if someone were to use a poison or drug strong enough to influence her in that brief moment, the crimson-haired girl could still easily heal from it using a little bit of energy.

Of course, there was a limit to her ability, but she highly doubted that anyone in this world would have something powerful enough to truly knock her out.𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

'She's quite good at giving piggyback rides, though, huh? I guess she must have a lot of experience…'

Emilia had to admit, probably no one would doubt that such an honest-looking working lady was a kidnapper. And as expected, even when people came across them from time to time, they didn't even blink an eye, believing the lady to be either her relative or servant.free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

The crimson-haired girl sighed in her heart. 'Who knows how many people have tasted despair in their hands by now?'

Gangs like these weren't exclusive to Carmen, and even Blue Dawn used to suffer from this issue before Emilia took over. Of course, that was now a thing of the past. With absolute authority and a firm will, getting rid of these minor annoyances didn't take Noelle and Crystal long at all.

'Unfortunately, I can't cleanse this whole world of such filth yet…' Emilia sighed. '… I can only take care of what's in front of me first.'

The 'honest-looking' woman cheered when she finally entered the 'safe zone' of her gang. "Hell yeah! I've got some big haul today!"

An oblivious foreign beauty like this one wasn't a product that one could usually ask for, and even if someone were to poke her eyes out, the woman could still see money practically raining from the skies the moment she laid eyes upon this girl.

This time, she was sure to get a hefty commission from the boss, right?

Rich! She's going to be rich!
