Chapter 1213: Chapter 692: Underlying Currents in the Plot (Part 3)

“My lord, we cannot allow the tiger to create problems.”

“Those crafty villagers who once helped that Battosai should also perish. Not a single one can remain.”

“Isn’t the Battosai fighting on behalf of those crafty villagers? Then let’s show her she can’t protect anything.”

…..

When the news that the Kameda Family had been erased reached here, the Chinese Clan gathered once more. Everyone expressed their opinions before simultaneously raising their heads to look towards the dignified witch seated on the high throne.

On the throne, the stunning general was only reclining on the chair. With every gesture, she exuded endless charm, making it impossible for the crowd below to avert their gaze. Some even couldn’t help but secretly swallow their saliva, yet no one dared to act rashly.

After all, this was the Great General who had returned from the dead.

Resurrection, there was no greater miracle than this for the Japanese Witch, a feat not even accomplished by the mythical Mother Goddess Izanami.

Even though everyone could see that the resurrected general’s character seemed somewhat different from before, various tests were conducted, including a bloodline verification by the Imperial clan’s Yuan Boya, confirming this was indeed the real Great General.

And at this pivotal moment, they truly needed a leader to unite the scattered Chinese Clan.

Therefore, whether the general was the original or not wasn’t really important; the crucial thing was to have a general everyone could trust.

The general on stage indeed possessed great skills. The former general was like a venomous snake in the shadows, while the current general was like a cunning fox. Though different, both were equally dangerous.

In the adjacent side room, Audrey was actually quite nervous too, her slender fingers trembling continuously, and from those ten fingers, ten Puppetry Ring Wands exuded invisible Magic Silk Threads that controlled the general puppet doll next door.

She was now using the Threads of Fate lent by the Chairman. With fate as the thread, controlling puppet actions was the highest and most secretive puppetry technique, so although the Chinese Clan had many experts, none could see through it.

The reason the Little Fox was nervous wasn’t because the puppet doll might be exposed but because she suddenly realized perhaps her mothers weren’t really good people.

To maintain the persona of a conniving villainess these days, she had been mimicking her mothers’ usual words, actions, and even their thinking patterns.

She knew her mothers well; even though they always showed their gentlest side before her, Audrey, also a top-tier actress, could see through her mothers’ daily masks and directly grasp their essential nature.

Seeing through the hidden truth beneath the façade of a role is a professional skill every good actress should possess.

However, Audrey had never deeply explored her mothers’ essence to think about their reactions in various situations, so she had always subconsciously believed her mothers were good people.

But now, after completely immersing into the role and adopting her mothers’ thinking style, she discovered a side of her mothers that had never been revealed to her.

The side belonging to Venus, the underground queen.

Audrey suddenly realized the hometown where she had lived for over ten years wasn’t as beautiful and harmonious as she had once thought. Shadows lurked beneath the glamorous lights of that artistic capital, the dream-chasing city, concealing profound darkness she had never understood before.

Just like the other side of her mothers.

But that wasn’t the point. After all, no matter how her mothers were, they were still her favorite mothers. What truly scared the Little Fox was realizing she might unexpectedly be good at being a villainess too.

Recently, she was acting almost as if not acting anymore.

This made Audrey a bit frightened.

Little Fox pondered for a moment, then pulled out the spellbook again.
