Chapter 524: You Are Not the Protagonist in This Play, Not Even the Second Female Lead

No matter how big the so-called cake is, it ultimately has a limit.

One more person means there will be one more person sharing the benefits.

And the benefits being shared are naturally things they originally owned.

No one would be willing to do this kind of thing from the bottom of their heart, right.

So whether it was Lan Qingyou, or guys who held resources in a region like Gu Xiaobei, Olf, and Ruan Qingyi, they had never actively made contact.

This time, the Witch Clan's surprise attack scared some people into trembling.

And the named Isabel was scared into an even bigger tremble.

Hiding inside her underground sanctuary, she never expected that someone would travel a long distance to this broken place, the Rolling Thunder Wilderness.

Previously, after learning that the Flying City of the Witch Clan was heading northeast, she had someone do a survey.

There was a 33% chance the target was the Rolling Thunder Wilderness.

Under these data, she had also thought about leaving here to take refuge for a while.

But deep down, she felt it was impossible.

After all, anyone who understood a little about this broken place, the Rolling Thunder Wilderness, wouldn't come here.

Moreover, all her resources were here. This was also her base camp, and it was simply impossible to just let go of it.

Men die for wealth, birds die for food.

Not to mention a guy like her who considered herself an 'upper-class elite' whether on Blue Star or on Karim.

To maintain her decency, these things could not be thrown away.

If she left, she didn't know if the Tower Witch would come, but those eyeing the resources on this land would definitely act first.

When the time came, whether through ostracization or other means, she would definitely lose a piece of meat.

And a very large piece at that.

So she didn't want to let go.

No... before this, there should be a more important question.

In the end, how did the other party know she was here?

Ever since she knew the Witch Clan had created curse-type magic, her whereabouts had been elevated to a top-secret level.

Although it was still unknown how Witches cursed people, someone had deduced a rule by comparing the tens of thousands of people who fell victim.

And that was that all these known cursed guys were people who had been to the Forsaken Territory before.

In other words, it was highly likely that as long as you hadn't been to the Forsaken Territory, you wouldn't be cursed.

After learning this speculation, she also conducted an investigation and comparison, and found that this guess was highly probable, which was why she was hiding in her sanctuary like this now.

But she was still found in the end.

Could someone have betrayed her?

But that shouldn't be.

Now, only a few trusted aides knew of her whereabouts; no one else knew.

And even the trusted aides only provided her with material supplies.

It could be said that she hadn't appeared in front of anyone in these few months, but now she was found.

The key was that now the Teleportation Arrays had been dismantled; she had nowhere to escape even if she wanted to.

Damn it.

If she had known, she would have installed a Teleportation Array inside the sanctuary as well.

Why didn't she think of that back then?

At this moment, hiding like a mouse in the underground sanctuary, Isabel bit her thumb nail and looked at the information on the magic desk in front of her, deep in thought.

Yes, because she was underground, she couldn't see the Sky Screen in the sky.

She only found out after the world channel started discussing this matter.

She even found out she had been named from a friend's private chat.

Although she didn't have much sense of reality regarding Lan Qingyou's provocation outside, she was exceptionally worried about the fact that the Tower Witch had come to cause trouble for her.

Not only were they performing curses, but others came directly to blow up her lair.

Damn it, who exactly betrayed her?

Forget it, don't think about it, she still had a backup plan.

The Teleportation Array being cut off indeed threw her into somewhat of a panic, but it wasn't without a solution.

She opened her friends list and then found someone.

Isabel: "Are you there."

Steve: "Yes, watching the play."

Isabel: "Watching a play, huh. That's really nice. Is it the play where I am the lead?"

Steve: "Although I really don't want to say it, in my eyes, you are just a supporting character in this play."

Isabel: "In your heart, am I not even worthy of being the second female lead?"

Steve: "Obviously, the Tower Witch naming you is just to use your name to let those other guys who reached out their hands before know that their Witch Clan's pursuit from now on has officially changed from secret pursuits to blatant slaughter."

Steve: "At the same time, it is also to tell the other Transmigrators that their Witch Clan has transformed from the previous researchers and potion suppliers into true Witches who can kill and curse at any time."

Steve: "So let alone protagonist or second female lead in this play, you can't even be considered the number one villain."

Isabel: "So, what you want to say is that you, or the organization you represent, is the one worthy of being called the protagonist of the Forsaken War where millions of people died? Or the number one villain?"

Talking up to this point, a mocking smile appeared on Isabel's face.

Yes.

That 'Forsaken War', which, although restricted to one region, unexpectedly swept through the entire Transmigrator society, was single-handedly orchestrated by the organization Steve represented.

And now, these guys wanted to claim the protagonist role themselves.

To put it harshly, these guys were just a collective of animals, bugs, and scumbags.

They couldn't even be considered human, let alone protagonist and big villain.

Steve: "Just joking. Whoever likes these titles can take them. We only hope to act as observers on the dark side of the world, properly watching everyone recreate the glory of Blue Star in this unfamiliar world."

Observers? What a bunch of shameless guys.

From the initial incitement to the final action, which link didn't have your shadows in it?

But it didn't matter. To Isabel, whether these guys acted like humans or not had little to do with her.

Isabel: "Forget it, these things are not important. Let's get down to business."

Steve: "Sure, what do you want to say?"

Isabel: "Don't you guys have someone who can pull people over? Quickly bring me over. I don't want to be used as a stepping stone for their Witch Clan to show off."

Steve: "But unfortunately, the Witch Clan is truly impressive, they don't even need to pretend."

Isabel: "... I'm not acting out some skit with you right now. I need you to help me leave this place first."

No matter how unwilling she was, when it concerned her own life, retreating was the only option.

As long as she was still around, even if the resources of the Rolling Thunder Wilderness were taken away, she could at least retain some dignity and slowly take them back later.

But if her life was gone, there would be no 'later' to speak of.
