Chapter 838: Chapter 688: An Eye-Opener

A party – the one Xu Yang planned to have at Jialong Slope. According to his arrangements, Kanako, Rinne, Pan Ruiyi, Lila, and Lady Farosa were all expected to attend.

Lady Farosa would not let Xu Yang have his way.

She constantly distributed invitations, attempting to destroy Xu Yang’s ludicrous little game, this crazy little party. If it meant having Lady Farosa join other women, she might as well be dead.

After all – why would men like to keep a harem?

Lady Farosa repeatedly counted the days but could not decipher the mystery. Wasn’t her favor enough?

She could predict the outcomes of certain events through simple deductions; she used to understand what Xu Yang would do, but not anymore.

Whenever it involved Xu Yang, she would find some oversights, as if he was hiding a significant affair from her.

He carried a massive enigma, like a black hole, which seemed to have appeared since she placed him in her memories.

Could it be that he did not only rescue her childhood and add a happy period to her past, but also something else? Such a righteous person as him couldn’t be plotting schemes, right?

But Lady Farosa couldn’t dwell on it too much.

These patched-up memories were already on the verge of crumbling; the more she thought, the more inconsistencies appeared. If these fantastical memories shattered, the cruel and dark truths behind them would resurface, hurting Lady Farosa’s mind, which would be counterproductive.

Thus, Lady Farosa had to restrain herself, setting aside these doubts, and continue to treat Xu Yang as a suspicious man – her lover, her beloved, yet someone whom Lady Farosa couldn’t quite see through.

She couldn’t see into his heart, nor predict his actions.

If he was that cold-hearted, yet Lady Farosa still loved him, wouldn’t that prove Lady Farosa to be the witch who understood love best in the world? No other witch could surpass Lady Farosa in the mastery of love.

She had already obtained the highest form of earthly love known as "forgiveness."

Even before using the Seven Witches Ritual for Ascension, Lady Farosa was a witch prone to whimsical thoughts. Now her mind was entwining with ever-changing ideas, like a storm of transformations, unable to harbor any permanent thoughts.

She quickly discarded those stray thoughts like sweeping trash into an incinerator, destroying all ideas that slowed her down, and then continued sending out invitations, planning to disrupt Xu Yang’s yacht party.

He actually wanted to drag her into that absurd gathering! To let her join those mediocre maidens in his enjoyment, wearing swimwear on a yacht... Lady Farosa was very clear about such typical carnal parties.

Now he had crossed the line, and Lady Farosa would destroy them all, severely punishing Xu Yang in front of everyone.

For this, she carefully selected the audience, sending invitations to everyone of note.

The witches closest to her were granted the honor of entering the Millennium Shuttle with Lady Farosa, heading to Jialong Slope.

Before departure, they were all excited.

Even someone as wild as Xu Yang, with endless energy like the sun and animalistic tendencies, couldn’t possibly devour so many women at once, Lady Farosa thought.

She wanted Xu Yang to experience what it was like to be thoroughly dismayed and hopeless. He was ready with champagne and beds, while Lady Farosa prepared a small vial of pheromones. She planned to have everyone appear while Xu Yang was happily intoxicated, making him lose face the most in his life.

This was to be her revenge, her method to capture everyone at once. Lady Farosa was calculating in her mind, slowly spinning her web like a giant spider. Xu Yang was overbearing, overly so.

"I promise to get everyone there safely!" Xu Cheng sat at the pilot’s seat, hands rapidly tapping the control panel, interested in the yacht at Jialong Slope where she intended to surf in the ship’s pool.

"Does this count as a mission?" Du Qianqian caressed the areas on her body where she had been shot and stabbed.

"I want to shoot down the adjacent plane," Laila Medusa, seated in Lady Farosa’s lap, said. Her fiery eyes could cut through the clouds enclosing a heavyflight.

"You are the best child I’ve ever seen," Lady Farosa couldn’t like Laila more.

As a witch picked up from the dumpsite, Laila had gradually grown from her nearly lifeless initial state and, being specially chosen and educated by Lady Farosa as her adoptive daughter, was always referred to as "Lady Farosa the Second."

Everyone says this child will inherit the complete temperament of the Witch Goddess, Lady Farosa thought to herself.

Although she is just over 3 years old, Laila is ferocious, barbaric, and intense, seizing what she wants by her own Power.

Is this what people perceive as the "Temperament of the Witch Goddess"? Lady Farosa pondered. Have they not noticed the great wisdom of Lady Farosa? Her proud charm, strategy, and intelligence? Cunning, vigilant with a labyrinthine mind, and a memory like a Human-shaped Library...

"Is this really okay? Lady Farosa, if you are not in the Northern Archipelago, perhaps the enemies will attack." 101 came over and inquired.

was clad in a gold and crimson ribbon, bearing Lady Farosa’s "Witch God Emblem," also known as the Iris Pentagram. The emblem had iris wreaths on both sides, symbolizing nobility and authority; the center featured a modified arc nested within a five-pointed star, with an engorged blood-red star representing the tight bond between witches and the starry sky. Below it was a protective charm written in Secret Script by Lady Farosa, endowing it with extraordinary Magic Power.

"My avatars are active around the world; this is just one of my illusions," Lady Farosa said indifferently.

Currently, Lady Farosa’s most powerful entity remained in the Little Galaxy, slowly capturing, exhausting, and suppressing Suzukawa Kiyo, trying to completely kill or subjugate her. Without external foes, she still had to focus mainly on containing Suzukawa Kiyo; the consequences of her escape were unthinkable.

sighed with relief, her gaze drifting afar.

"And that Rat, Sallie..." 101 furrowed her brow.

The Rat Demon God Sallie sat at the back of the Shuttle Machine, curled up on the ground, praying for many things; she prayed for the fate of the Ratman Race and for the souls of those unfortunate dead to find peace. The power she sought was not from other deities but from herself, hoping to become a more powerful Rat Clan Demon God.

"She has also taken Dewdrops, a Qualified One, and a congregational worshipper of her entire tribe. Logically, her foundation should be better than Suzukawa Kiyo’s because her Ratman worshippers are not as maniacal as human worshippers. But Sallie’s current Power is very weak, and that’s related to her own lack of firm belief," Lady Farosa spoke softly.

"I will keep a close eye on her," said 101.

"Do you think she has issues?"

"Her first bout caused Aizu City to succumb to the rat plague, the second time her failure to scrutinize her partners led us to overlook the underground Suzukawa Kiyo, creating even bigger disasters than before. What about the third time? I dare not think," 101 said coolly.

"Don’t worry, we will thoroughly resolve Sallie’s problems this time," Lady Farosa reassured kindly.

The Shuttle Machine reached Jialong Slope.

A year ago, due to the Great River Goddess incident, they had visited Jialong Slope, remembering the city’s appearance, and now were astonished to find the entire city dramatically transformed.

As the jewel of the Southern Region, Jialong Slope had once implemented strict controls over population mobility, strictly forbidding inflow of outside populations. Now, looking down at the coast, the massive anti-landing fortifications were gone, and the sentry posts, searchlights, and high walls that surrounded the city had all been dismantled. In their place, the city’s scale had doubled, nearly expanding the area of Jialong Slope.

"Jialong Slope has gotten so big! And the Xisheng Grand Hotel... it’s so beautiful!" 102 pressed her face against the glass, full of admiration.

Lady Farosa gazed at the splendid city from above; the whole city resembled a large tropical garden, especially the commercial core area, which was particularly delicate, consisting of numerous fountains, pools, giant commercial buildings, and office buildings. Outside the core area, urban planners had renovated the former shantytowns and old districts of Jialong Slope. Now people no longer had to scramble over a mere bit of electricity, instead living in massive public residential facilities.

With a warm climate, booming commerce, and a flourishing economy, the magnificent Jialong Slope had transformed from its previous gloomy rain-drenched state into a model of urban construction.

"I heard Kanako manages this place," Lady Farosa said.

"Yes..." 101 checked the information.

The slim Kojima Kanako, since taking over Jialong Slope with the support of Nestor Corporation, had established her own influence here, Lady Farosa mused. And she’s been supporting Xu Yang and his women here, Xu Yang, Rinne, Pan Ruiyi, and the maid version of Lila. She must have accumulated a lot of wealth, just like the other members of the Xisheng Family skilled in commerce.

Calculating, Lady Farosa predicted that Kanako has been very happy recently, and in the next day or two, her happiness will double.

Could it be that despite her interference, the yacht party was still a success? Did Xu Yang’s actions, pushing the limits, actually make Kanako very happy? Lady Farosa scoffed.

If Xu Yang could really manage it, it would be an eye-opener for herself.

"The ’Kanako Xisheng Group’, currently the leading company in Jialong Slope, relying on Nestor Corporation’s support, has eliminated most competitors. She has become the undisputed king of the city, working with intercontinental giants like Switz Bank, transforming Jialong Slope into a commercially open and strictly legal new corporate city," 101 briefed Lady Farosa about the current situation.

The King of Jialong Slope, Kojima Kanako, has achievements here that could now parallel her mother and sisters. Lady Farosa realized that Nestor Corporation gave Kanako a great opportunity, and Kanako lived up to the expectations. Now, she could fully reciprocate Nestor Corporation, continuously channeling resources from Jialong Slope to headquarters.

Overlooking the Jialong Slope Strait, considered a global crossroads, this port city had immense profits from shipping and its related businesses. Moreover, with Kanako holding onto industries like petrochemicals, entertainment, telecommunications, urban investment, and financial loans, she had positioned her company at the pinnacle of power in the Southern Region.

However, what supported her through the financial crisis was... geography. Lady Farosa silently calculated.

Due to the arrival of the Frost Era, all high-latitude areas had deteriorated, with humans dying off or migrating, and investments significantly moving south. Jialong Slope, with its geographical advantages, received favor during such times. With Nestor Corporation providing a stable operational environment, Kanako indeed took Jialong Slope to new heights.

After the Shuttle Machine arrived at the Xisheng Grand Hotel, they checked into the company’s accommodations. Lady Farosa’s other invitees would also arrive today, ensuring no one would miss the party.
