501 8.18 – Awkward giraffe – Monster Heist

Laura carefully looked around her dorm, making sure no one was around. She carefully reached for the silver wing-shaped charm that was adorning one of her braids to activate it.

This hairpin was more than just a decoration, it was a special device created by Ezekiel and Juliet to wirelessly secure their communications and prevent hacking.

So how did she end up trusting Silvia?

(Laura Shan): I got the documents. She offered to let me live in her mansion with my family. Who is she? Did you really kill her?

(Silvia LeClere): Felicia? I came across her when I went on a date with Earl. I understood that I couldn’t rely on superficial tactics or fake acting to deceive Riley, so when I first saw her, I instantly knew I needed her to be a part of my plan. Yes, I killed her. I needed her genuine hatred to get her on Riley’s good side first.

Bing Shi was thinking of how to deal with Riley’s upcoming attacks, and Dai An said she had an idea. She didn’t know it involved killing someone in broad daylight.

(Silvia LeClére): She played Riley like a boss and got away clean. She is currently being taught etiquette and manners, and I told her she needs some experience with real kids. That’s probably why she invited your family to live with her. Oh, and she also carries Earl Fester’s genes, which doubles her unpredictability. How was your interaction with her?

(Laura Shen): She seemed polite and courteous like a lady from a noble family.

(Silvia LeClére): I see. She didn’t know I was Silvia until yesterday. I never showed her my face and I always introduced myself as her stepmother.

.....

A sudden cough escaped Laura’s lips, “...” Instead of trusting Silvia, she tried to gain Silvia’s trust instead. But her initial plans were shattered by Silvia’s enigmatic personality and charismatic presence. She couldn’t deny that the woman had a way of making things happen.

As soon as Laura created some distance between the winged charm and the phone, the conversation on her phone took a sudden turn.

The encrypted message she had been reading was now gone, replaced by an unfamiliar, completely fabricated text filled with swear words and insults directed between two random people, “...”

At first, some members of the team thought that Silvia’s fear of being stalked was excessive. But as they became more cautious and secretive with their alliance, they too began to feel like they were constantly looking over their shoulders, afraid of being discovered. Silvia’s enemies were over their league, and the stakes were high.

A few days later...

Ru Quan was willing to do anything to undo what fate had taken from him. Despite having given a part of Bing Shi’s dead soul to the Demon King (Damon) in the past too, he couldn’t make the other man connect with it.

Victor, however, was different. He would keep taking care of her existence, safeguarding her soul and feeding her spirit with his powers as he engaged in various relationships.

Ru Quan entered the hospital room and saw her lying in the bed, her face covered with bandages, “Are they not going to take them off?”

“No, I don’t think I’m prepared to face the mirror and scare myself off yet,” Bing Shi chuckled. “I mean, being so hideous that not even makeup can rescue me? That’s a tough pill to swallow.”

“It’s my fault.” Ru Quan gently stroked her hand.

“Yes, it is. You shouldn’t have told him that you’ve seen worse.” Bing Shi slapped his cheek as gently as a butterfly landing on a flower, |”I can’t marry a serial killer (Alain), but I can give a handjob to my bully? I thought you wanted Victor to forget me and move on from me without breaking his soul. I don’t think he will ever forget that.”|

“...” Ru Quan’s cough was as awkward as a giraffe trying to drink water from a tiny cup as she ‘slapped’ him right and left. He no longer needed Victor’s help, but it was not easy to erase someone’s feelings when they were that deeply infatuated.

Look at him for example. His desire to find her despite his memory loss guided Lu Kai to find her faster than her soulmate.

Their combined feelings continued to be passed on to Xuan Mu, whose unwavering patience and protectiveness towards her were as solid as the roots of an ancient tree despite the long-distance relationship.

The feelings continued to grow even after his death. Ziek’s love for her was as fierce as a lion’s, refusing to move on even when faced with the harsh reality of her loving another (Xuan Mu and the rest wouldn’t fall in love with a taken woman).

However, there were ways to help one move on. He tried to give Victor someone, who could take a hold of his heart forever.

Ru Quan leaned down to press a light kiss on her hand, |”I don’t know why he is still so fixated on you.”|

|”I have a hint,”| Bing Shi thought Victor would leave her alone after he was done taking his revenge on her, but he still kept her dead soul and continued to feed her with his energy, |”I can’t have him follow us around for the rest of our life.”|

It was not only a burden but also a threat to her safety and the safety of those around her.

Ru Quan’s earpiece rang, interrupting their thoughts. He picked up the call and heard Victor’s voice on the other end. “I thought we made a deal…” he paused, sensing a shift in Victor’s mood.

“I need you to come back and clear some misunderstandings,” Victor answered coldly as he held down the woman in his arms, “Elera thinks I’m cheating on her and will probably threaten me with a breakup. She will also likely get drunk and get into trouble.”

“Don’t forget to mention how she will also cut off your balls!” Elera unleashed her dagger at Victor and kicked him out of her office, realizing that their relationship was nothing but a sham!

Elera was seething with anger as she recalled the various items that she had discovered in Leon’s room. Sex toys, condoms, and posters of naked Silvia LeClére. She couldn’t understand why everyone was still obsessed with the female lead!

“Meeting up with your woman? I can’t refuse such an offer, can I?” Ru Quan turned off the call and glanced down at the culprit behind the posters and the fruit bowl of sex toys.

Bing Shi began to decorate his room with Silvia’s merch as soon as she woke up, saying how she was punishing him for failing to deal with Victor.

She implied to Victor that she might be Olivia, and let him realize that even though he found her, she was far from someone he ought her to be. You know, to make him detest her, get done with her, and eventually forget her. Despite this, he still refused to get rid of the fragment of her dead soul.

Therefore, she was left with no choice but to confront Victor directly and try to reason with him in order to break their connection.
