"But what if the Goddess has a plan for her?" the swan-masked woman interjected, her voice shaky.
"We’ve seen her perform miracles before. If she intends for this Yu girl to teach us a lesson, we shouldn’t underestimate her."
The candidates exchanged uneasy glances.
The swan-masked woman’s words held weight; the Goddess’s intentions were often shrouded in mystery, and her thods, though sotis indirect, were always effective.
The phoenix-masked woman, still reeling from the Goddess’s words, finally spoke up.
"Regardless of what the Goddess ant, we can’t afford to take any chances. We need to be cautious and united in our approach."
Her words were clear. We should unite together to deal with the Yu girl!
"I don’t believe that Yu girl could harm us." The rabbit masked woman said and all the other candidates nodded in their hearts.
Hmph!
Who does that Yu girl think she is?
Teaching them a lesson? For that, that Yu girl will have to take classes for 1000 years!
None of the candidates expressed any opinions, but in their hearts, all of them had the sa thoughts.
...........
For the next 10 days, no one knew where Yu Holea went.
When the Yu Family knew about Qiao Jun’s accident they rushed toward the hospital. After enquiring about Qaio Jun’s situation, they sympathized with him.
Finally, Yu Sicong asked,
"By the way where is Holea?"
"We don’t know. For the past 2 days, she has gone on so secret mission and hasn’t contacted anyone." Qiao Li said lightly.
"She...she won’t harm herself right?" Mrs. Qiao was the most worried.
After all, Yu Holea wasn’t just their daughter-in-law, she was their daughter. Even though her heart ached for her second son, she didn’t want Yu Holea to suffer.
"No. She is a sensible child, she wouldn’t take any wrong steps." Mr. Qiao comforted her.
In fact, for the past 10 days, he has been trying to track Yu Holea, however, he hasn’t received any news regarding her.
The Yu family were going crazy due to worry but they could only smile.
The Qiao family wasn’t much better but they had the assurity that Yu Holea was fine because each morning they would notice that the hospital room would sll of her fragrance, aning Yu Holea indeed visited Qiao Jun, it was just...she didn’t want to face anyone for the ti being!
....
In a presidential suite.
A young lady with silverish-white hair was sitting on a chair that was facing the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
Her gaze was extrely calm and her eyes held wisdom.
Behind her, a man in a black suit was reporting to her,
"Miss Yu, we have caught her."
Yu Holea calmly said,
"Bring her in."
The man nodded. He had blue hair and looked in his early twenties. His na was Carl. He was a half-Chinese and Qiao Jun’s subordiante.
Carl went out and soon returned with a body in his hand.
To be precise...he was dragging the body on the floor.
On a closer look, the body was of a female, who looked as if she was beaten very badly.
What was even more surprising was how on the back of the female a symbol was emitting a golden light.
Carl threw the ’body’ in front of Yu Holea.
The ’body’ groaned, when she found that it was Yu Holea who was behind her misery, she instantly beca furious,
"You! How dare you! Do you know the consequences of attacking a candidate of Goddess City?"
Yu Holea chuckled,
"Oh? Is that so, Fioana?"
Fioana gritted her teeth,
"Yes! I am telling you, the goddess would punish you when she would know about your deed. It is strictly forbidden for the candidates to fight among themselves."
"Oh? And is it perfectly alright for the candidates to harm the family mbers of awakeners?" Yu Holea asked with amusent in her tone.
It was as if she wasn’t the one whose fiance had been attacked!
Fioana gritted her teeth and said,
"We were only testing you! We didn’t an any actual harm!"
"Oh? Do you know in which state my fiance is in?" Yu Holea asked in an enthusiastic tone, but her eyes were extrely cold.
Fioan froze.
How could she not know?
After all, she had to give a report to other candidates of the Goddess City about Yu Holea’s matters.
She knew that his fiance had fallen into a coma and may not ever wake up again. But admitting that would only make things worse for her.
"It...it was just a small mistake!" Fioana tried to defend herself.
"Mistake, huh?" Yu Holea suddenly sounded interested.
"Yes, mistake!" Thinking that Yu Holea was finally ready to back down, Fioana felt relieved.
At the sa ti, she felt disdain for Yu Holea.
Yu Holea was so gullible!
Heh! And the goddess was saying that Yu Holea would teach them a lesson!
But before Fioana could continue with her thought process, Yu Holea stood up from her seat rolled the sleeves of her white shirt, and looked down at Fioana with a cold intensity.
"Do you really think this is a mistake that can be forgiven so easily?" Yu Holea’s voice was calm, but there was a deadly seriousness to it.
Fioana’s relief vanished, replaced by a growing sense of dread.
"Yu Holea, please, I swear it was just a misunderstanding!"
Yu Holea took a step closer, her eyes never leaving Fioana’s.
"You and your fellow candidates think you can play gas with people’s lives and get away with it.
How..."
Then Yu Holea laughed and clutched Fioana’s hair,
"How innocent and gullible you all are."
Yu Holea lifted her hand and Fioana’s eyes widened.
Was she(Yu Holea) going to slap her(Fioana)?
However, Yu Holea simply patted her shoulder and said,
"Alright, since you are so innocent, I will let you go."
Fioana was stunned,
"Huh?"
"I feel that you are truly innocent and hence I will let you go." Yu Holea said.
Then she looked at Fioan up and down.
"After all, you have already paid enough."
"R-Really?" Fioana asked looking a bit fearful.
If she had not seen Yu Holea’s behavior and ruthlessness this morning she would have believed Yu Holea’s words.
...........
10 hours before.
Fioana happily talked on her phone and said,
"Yes, sister phoenix! Don’t worry, I have started to think of a way to trap the Qiao and the yu family too, this ti she would definitely be not able to calm down!"
"Okay, as long as you fulfill this task, I will take care of you in the future." The phoenix masked woman said.
"Thank you, Sister Phoenix!" Fioana said with an excited expression.
She was in her dorm room.
After hanging up, Fioana stared at the phone and said in a small voice,
"Holea you can’t bla for being ruthless! And I doing this for your own good!"
Just 8 days ago she had used the artifact to exchange Yu Holea’s soul and shifted the side effects to Qiao Jun.
The reason why Qiao Jun’s soul corroded was because of the side effects.
After all, soone has to bear the consequences of using the artifact! And since she was harming Yu Holea, it would be better to harm her completely!
Fioana didn’t feel guilty at all, even though she knew that Qiao Jun might die and his soul might even be permanently destroyed.
She thought in her heart, that it would be good if that happened, Yu Holea might completely lose the will to live.
"Fioana." A cold voice called out and Fioana lifted her head in shock,
In front of her, Yu Holea was standing with a single bodyguard.
Fioana’s heart skipped a beat.
After all, she had done sothing wrong.
However with a nonchalant expression, she asked,
"What do you want? And what are you doing here?"
"Just a single question. Were you the one who had used the Soul Reverse Ti artifact?"
Fioana’s face paled.
So she knows.
"What nonsense are you spouting? If you want to keep on blabbering this nonsense stuff, then it’s better if you leave!"
Yu Holea didn’t repeat her questions and instead showed her video.
In the video, a black masked figure after using the artifact, used so teleportation device and reached an isolated corner.
Then the black-masked figure removed the mask and Fioana’s face beca visible.
Surprisingly the entire process looked as if soone had made an edited video or it was a scene of so movie.
"Do you still want to decline?" Yu Holea asked calmly.
Fioana knew that Yu Holea might have used so special artifact and knew that there was no use in dodging the responsibility, so she nonchalantly agreed,
"It was indeed ."
"Why?" Yu Holea asked calmly.
This reaction stunned Fioana.
Why was she so calm?
It was as if...she wasn’t affected at all.
What was even more confusing was...Fioana’s heart chilled when she saw Yu Holea’s cold eyes.
