Revenge Of A New Goddess

Chapter 3 - The shock

SNOW YI and her daughter sat on the couch while I sat on a chair facing them, even though the mother was smiling her daughter was giving glares that meant clearly that she didn't like me, I didn't want to approach them this way but there is no other choice " I think that the butler of earlier is a traitor, I do not wish to ruin our relationship but I must point out my observations, consider this a free advise even if we didn't manage to reach an agreement."

At that moment SNOW's turned stiff but didn't say anything, obviously any other person would be stuck choosing who she'll trust, XIU LAN took the opportunity and grabbed her mother's hand and said "Mom let's get out of here! I knew it! She is a swindler trying to break our family from the inside! HAO DING was serving us for so long, now she wants to break us from the inside! This wretch is a parasitic bug!" but SNOW didn't move it seems she noticed something but this is just a guess, a few seconds later her expression turned serious, "Why do you think so?" SNOW said with a cold tone, really her voice can reflect winter's coldness, LAN tried to interfere but her mother stopped her and said again "Miss can you please answer my question?" her eyes emitted an icy aura that made even the short tempered XIU LAN sit back without moving any further, I only spoke one sentence and told her if she can't grasp the meaning behind it, then it's useless to continue this discussion "That man is so used to acting that putting up a front was no big deal anymore!" I said with a bit of killing intent, everyone fell into silence, a mere fly can echo through the room several times, XIU LAN who was still surprised could feel the coldness reach her spine, she expressed of a mixture of fear and worry, she became like a caged beast who lost hope on being set free, while SNOW and I exchanged murderous glares, no wonder she was able to hold out for so long as the *unwanted* family head, when she gets serious she becomes a different person, but I still didn't know if she understood my meaning, if not I don't have any reason to continue this request, after all guarding a person who can't even distinguish allies from enemies even with a tip is definitely not worth it even with the huge sum of money, in fact it will bring destruction more than benefits, at the time LAN was still shaking, the mood got even more freezing, then in the end SNOW responded "I see, I felt something wrong but I couldn't grasp it! But now it got clearer!" then she added "Thank you! I'll deal with him right away! He will not be forgiven after selling my family out! Now let's talk about the original matter" LAN who wanted to interfere but couldn't tell a word, but at the same moment I started laughing with cold expression "Seriously, that's a disappointment, if you think that way there's no need for further discussion! You can always hire someone else" I said while rising my killing intent, it seems that SNOW is the type who is best for handling direct situations or crisis but she isn't the one who plans further, she is too focused to protect and purge the family of traitors that she loses track of other paths possible, after that SNOW who was laid back for a moment said in a freezing tone "Does that mean I need to keep a traitor who may even be involved in my husband's murder!" she was emitting a lot of hatred toward him and me she may have misunderstood my statement, she maybe thought I am toying with her or have some relations with her enemy, "Miss SNOW do not misunderstand what I said, there are thousands of ways to deal with spies and traitors and even the ones behind them better than directly purging them, in fact the latter is the worst way to do it!" I said while firmly glaring at her, she answered doubtfully "Then what can be considered the best? Leave them until they ruin you!" I replied while sighing "Use them! And ruin them and the ones behind them! And don't trust anyone!" he got in a deep thought and asked "How..?" "That's something that should wait until we reach an agreement, now let's move on to the topic!"

SNOW calmed down and alleviated her cold gaze, she returned to the warm m.a.t.u.r.e woman character, of course I smiled while stopping emitting the killing intent, at that moment LAN breathed heavily as if she was drowning and just got out of the water, her domineering and wild nature is nowhere to be found, instead a silent girl sitting, it seems that she is not used to that kind of pressure, I turned my line of sight toward her and said "As the heiress of such a big family being able to emit and bear such aura easily is a must, if not you'll be only a little frail sheep in the middle of a pack of hungry wolves. You must become strong, cold, and lessen you wildness and aggressiveness because it leads to impulsiveness which will only result in your doom. You can be angry, but it must never show on your face nor affect you decisions, you can be wary of people in fact you must but you should never let the other party notice it. The more expressionless you become the better your performance will be, and believe me as someone with a worse experience: Heed my most important three advices for you, first don't be hot headed: Do not be swayed easily nor judge without enough data, second revise your trust: Don't blindly believe anyone even you own brother or sister: There are some matters to a secret for you alone and when you suspect don't exclude anyone, third and lastly don't leave trails for your enemy to catch you: Even if he threats you using the life of your mother don't agree and stay calm, remember don't act the way the enemy wants because that's the path he planned and of course the one to his/her victory! And I am talking from what happened to me, if we have the chance to become closer in the future I will tell you my story" XIU LAN was looking at me with a blank expression, like my words made her dive in a deep thought. Even SNOW was surprised, she seemed to have understood the meaning and wanted to ask me what happened but she couldn't.

SNOW YI started telling me what happened, I listened carefully even though I knew it from the system, in summary after her husband's death powers lurking from the shadows started planning things: They first incited the people opposing SNOW taking over the household to make trouble and they are waiting for a chance to get rid of her, we reached an agreement I'll take a fifth of the money before and the rest will be until I finish the requests under the condition that they'll move here with SUN and I, and they mustn't bring anything from their home. She understood what I was thinking and agreed, while XIU LAN seemed restless but trying to hide it, 'She may be trying to take my advice' I thought to myself, I told her that they'll start living here starting from now and about the butler, the moment I mentioned him SNOW remembered something and told me with eyes filled with curiosity "Ah! How do you deal with traitors?" I started laughing and told her "Use him while let him think he used you! Be wary of him, and you can move the enemy behind him at will, leak what you want the enemy to do but be careful to not let him notice a thing. Especially if you want to build to trap the enemy make it look like he is the one who has the lead, feign temporary loss to achieve permanent victory!"

She answered while smiling "Okay, that's too crazy, but I'll need your help doing that!" I decided to tease her a bit "No, that's too troublesome, I am too lazy to do such things" SNOW was surprised and said "Please, I can pay more money!" I still answered with a no, LAN was also getting agitated, but SNOW added with perplexed tone "I'll….pay you double!" Seeing her sincerity I felt a bit guilty then I approached her and put my hands on her waist and pulled her next to me to the point where my b.r.e.a.s.ts rested on the top of hers because I am a bit taller and I whispered in her ear "I don't want money, I want you…., if you want me to help you must consider marrying me" she blushed, even with her m.a.t.u.r.e vibe she couldn't hide her flushed face, at that moment XIU couldn't contain herself as she tried to push me off her mother, by in the end I grabbed her waist and pulled her in and said "Did you forget my advices already" she was fl.u.s.tered, while I had an odd feeling of satisfaction.

Just when I let them go we heard a crash downstairs, we ran to see what happened, we were surprised the butler's face turned to that of a pig and his collar grabbed by SUN, I immediately asked her what happened, it seems that this guy was sneaking in to listen to our conversation until SUN got a hold of him, he tried to abduct her she played with it to see his real intention, she told me he said "I never expected to find such goods here, boss will appreciate a new toy, especially as good looking as you but I'll have to do the tasting myself" Of course you can imagine the rest.

Okay, change of plan this guy must die, I tied him and threw him in the bas.e.m.e.nt, I turned to SNOW and winked at her both of them were bright red, I informed her that for this guy I will resort to torture because he overstepped his boundaries, I also told SUN that they would be living with us the first thing she asked was "What about training? Isn't it a secret anymore?" I remembered, but I told her to do it by herself since I still need to fulfil the mission.

I went downstairs with SNOW, while SUN and XIU LAN stayed there chatting, she mysteriously opened up to SUN easily, well once we reached that guy, he was relieved to see SNOW as he thought he is out of the frying pan, I removed the tape blocking his mouth and he said immediately "You'll pay for this! Miss, you shouldn't work with these barbarians! Look at what they did to me! And you b*tch will only face your doom! Do you know you offended the whole XIU family with this! Now untie me and go hide in your rat hole waiting for your end!" even though he was cursing at me he was talking normally, I answered with a cold tone "Well let's see who will be crawling, do you think you, a worthless worm, is qualified to talk to me like that, well I'll let your miss SNOW do the honor" as I told him she came near him and said "You'd better talk before it's too late, don't go telling afterwards me I didn't warn you! Well that's if you keep your head intact!"

HAO DING seemed perplexed, he turned his face to see SNOW glaring at him with cold eyes, at that moment his relieved expression turned to fear and anxiety, she said with very calm tone but for HAO it was a nightmare that will hunt his dreams, "Just tell me since when did I start having *toys* to eat? Oh! And you get to do the tasting, isn't that generous from you? Are you worried they wouldn't be good enough? I appreciate it so when is my next toy coming?" HAO was extremely scared but in the end he knew she heard SUN explanation because there's no way she would focus on *toy* if she didn't, he knew he was screwed but he said "No, I am sorry, I just wanted her for myself and used Boss's name!"

Little did he know, that sentence alone would be his end, well he was fairly stupid, but what was the funniest thing is SNOW's response, well at least for me, "Oh! Since when did I grow a p*nis to be called boss? Well from you words it's not even me! So who are you working for my little butler?" At that moment DING realized how grave the mistake he made, first calling someone else his boss in front of SNOW, he has no way to retaliate, boss usually is referred to man, but the worse is calling another one boss in front of the actual head, that was like admitting he is one of the traitors, and the punishment is hell, he seemed like he wanted to say something but words escaped him, he was sweating like crazy, he wished he could throw himself in an endless pit because from now on only nightmares will take form, and he knew from now on death is way better and more merciful than his life, SNOW asked him again "So who is this boss of yours?" he lost hope, not talking means death, but saying it is way worse, he remained silent, cursing his own idiocy, if he didn't try to abuse the girl from earlier none of this would have happened, he got greedy and l.u.s.tful which made him lose his everything but even so he tried his luck tricking snow "It's you miss SNOW, it's just I was trying to confuse her, I am sorry for my behavior, but I didn't want to taint your reputation, this man confess his sin so please I plead for mercy" SNOW just laughed a cold grin, her violet eyes' color became deeper and darker, while HAO DING was crying while pleading for mercy, I pulled snow and held her while whispered to her that I know a greater way to make him talk, her cold gaze became warmer and her cheeks started getting redder, HAO DING was confused and stopped his fake tears, I got close to him I didn't talk, I untied one of his hands, I smiled again and said "Who are you working for?" He didn't talk so without further notice I broke one of his fingers, his voice almost made my ears go numb… After hours of crazy screams, he finely succ.u.mbed, and what he said made SNOW go pale it seems this matter is worse than we thought.

After I sent SNOW up, I killed him and turned him to 80 EP, it seems this guy was really vicious, even though he isn't that strong, he killed so many people, which is why he gave that much EP.

"What is this?" I asked the system answered that this is a new function that was locked, it's useful but at the same time not, and well it's not bad so I can't complain. I went to the store to see if something useful can come out of this 80 EP, I was eyeing [TELEPATHY] but maybe there is something else good.

While I was strolling in the store many things were available what caught my attention are these two

______________________________

Well right now I don't know, should I save for the first or for the second? In the end I'll buy them both but first maybe I am going to save up to the future sight because I have a feeling something big is coming, ever since the appearance of this system and that voice, I have felt an ominous feeling: Right now I feel if I miss this chance things would go wrong.

I went upstairs and went to the living room I saw SNOW pale and sitting alone while XIU LAN is crying on her shoulders, the information from earlier had a big impact on them, while SUN was cooking something hoping that it'll calm them down, I went and talked with SUN a bit especially those two need some time alone to revise their feelings, after a while I went to them and as they were sitting, I stood on my knees and gave both of them a hug, SNOW reddened but started tearing up and sniffling, while XIU LAN started hitting my shoulder with her hand while crying "Why are your advices spot on?...Why?...How can it be him?...*sniffle…" I didn't say anything I just stayed like that, a while later SUN joined us as well and hugged them.

We stayed like that for about 20mins, in the end XIU LAN ended up sleeping with tears in her eyes, while SNOW laid down with a complex expression, SUN went to get the food, while I wiped LAN's face and took her to her new room and left her to sleep, after all what happened weighted heavily on her mind.

We ate, SNOW started to cheer up bit by bit, in the end she bowed to me and thanked me, I told her that SUN's and my stories are nowhere near good and that I'll tell her later after I am ready to speak.

For now I have to gather enough EP for that item, I went outside and headed to a small alley where gangsters usually gather, once they saw me they started drooling like pigs, in the end they were small fries, all of them altogether only worth 15 EP less than that lawyer, well the last one didn't join his comrades right away, since I had him tell me the location of their base. I put a cloth to hide my face and tied my b.r.e.a.s.ts with a long cloth tape to hide their size, it was extremely painful and uncomfortable though nothing I can't handle, I went to the base, massacred some bandits and freed some girls who were forced to attend to those men's' *d.e.s.i.r.es. All the gangsters gave me 50 EP, well more likely the boss gave me 20 EP and the other 30 men gave me 30 EP, I never imagined I would see a small fry giving 1 EP each, I would ashamed if I compared them to ants, that reminds me I never tried getting EP from animals, though the system used beast but I wonder why is that, something tells it has something to do with the bad feeling I have.

When I got home SNOW also went to sleep while SUN was cultivating.

I sat on the couch and purchased [future sight] I used it right away, an extreme pain run through my brain, and my head got dizzy, my sight blurry, I was drowning in deep black see with no end, I lost consciousness.
