Chapter 143

Sam spoke these words with murderous intent.

【The detective game is over; you shouldn't be here.】

【I will... ignite the ocean!!】

【When you return to reality, remember to tell everyone—】

【It was the Starcore Hunters who sent you on your final journey!!】

Seeing that the three had no intention of leaving,

Sam stopped speaking further,

and launched his attack immediately!

Seeing this, Huang Quan stepped forward,

using only her scabbard to face the enemy,

and began to fight Sam.

For a moment, their battle was fierce,

truly evenly matched!

Stelle: "Wow, this is Sam?"

Stelle: "He looks kinda cool!"

Stelle: "I like him!"

March 7th: "You like villains too? Though this mech does look mighty..."

Paimon: "So cool! So incredibly cool!"

Paimon: "He really, really has presence!"

Lumine: "Yes indeed!"

Lumine: "His words give off a powerful feeling!"

Young Master: "Whoa! This mech is way better than any Demon King armor!"

Young Master: "Once we can get out, I'm getting a set of this mech to wear!"

Young Master: "Then when I fight, I'll shout: I will—ignite the ocean!!"

Young Master: "What do you think? Wouldn't that be way cooler?"

Paimon: "Uh... you better not. You just don't have the vibe."

Paimon: "Let Lumine do it—I think she's got that aura!"

Lumine: "Cough... well, maybe I'll try it someday when I'm wearing a mech?"

Dihya: "Why not try it now?"

Lumine: "I mean... in a mech it's fine, but in real life, I just can't say it!"

Firefly: "Exactly!!"

Silver Wolf: "What's hard to say? Someone says it without even thinking!"

Kafka: "Hehe, you'll get used to it."

Firefly: "...."

The video continues.

【Leave this stage to them, my dear.】

Stelle wanted to step in and help,

but was blocked by Black Swan.

Then, Black Swan let out a light laugh,

and tossed a card at Stelle.

Instantly, the world spun wildly, and Stelle suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar place.

【Huh?!】

【Where is this?】

Stelle was stunned, unable to process it.

【Hehehe... what a splendid performance.】

Suddenly, a playful laugh echoed,

and the figure of Goldsand appeared here.

【You've worked hard, Rememberer—brilliantly playing wolf against tiger.】

【When I first saw the Wanderer and the Hunters gathered together, my heart nearly stopped...】

【I never expected you'd succeed in provoking conflict between them.】

Goldsand approached the two,

his tone filled with evident admiration for Black Swan.

【As agreed, I've brought this child to you.】

【The deal is complete.】

Black Swan spoke calmly to Goldsand:

【You're... in cahoots?!】

Stelle understood everything at once,

and immediately confronted Black Swan.

Furina: "Oh my goodness!!"

Furina: "Black Swan is Goldsand's ally?!"

Fu Ningna: "This is way too dramatic!"

March 7th: "Look! What did I tell you?!"

March 7th: "You'll eventually be sold out by a mature woman!!"

March 7th: "Now, wasn't I right?!"

Stelle: "No, you were wrong!"

Stelle: "In the video, I said from the start that I didn't trust the Rememberer."

Stelle: "So this doesn't prove anything."

March 7th: "Hey, you're still making excuses!"

Himeko: "Miss Black Swan, it seems you've forgotten our agreement... This is truly a regrettable outcome."

Welt: "Indeed, we entrusted ourselves to an untrustworthy person."

Hu Tao: "This is insane! Absolutely insane!"

Hu Tao: "Even Miss Black Swan has turned bad!"

Xiangling: "As expected—everywhere, Sandgold's scheming is never far away!"

Miss Ningguang: "An unexpected turn of events. It seems Mr. Sandgold still has the upper hand."

Brother Dan Heng: "Hmph. What a clever move—driving the tiger to devour the wolf."

Brother Dan Heng: "You've been plotting all of this from the start, haven't you?"

Amber: "Could it be... Miss Firefly's death was also Sandgold's doing?"

Amber: "Just to lure out the Star Core Hunters, Sam?"

Wan Ye: "It doesn't seem impossible."

Sandgold: "Look, I'll admit I'm not a good person."

Sandgold: "But don't blame everything on me!"

Yanfei: "You were once eager for Miss Firefly's death, to use it as evidence to scheme against the family."

Yanfei: "Now you've taken Stelle to some unfamiliar place!"

Yanfei: "If not you, then who else could it be?"

Truth Physician: "Indeed, your suspicion appears the greatest."

Sandgold: "Professor, which side are you even on?"

Sandgold: "If you won't defend me, why are you joining in to smear me?"

Sandgold: "Don't you already know whether or not I did it?"

Truth Physician: "Sorry, I don't know—because you damn gambler never told me."

Sandgold: "....."
