Chapter 175: My Damned, Unplaceable Charm

"The results are out: one person is heavily injured, the other two are lightly injured, and all three are unconscious due to asphyxiation; there is currently no danger to their lives."

Beside the banks of the Fursado River, several police Steam Cars were parked around the shore. The Guard Team Captain, dressed in a dark blue uniform, was reporting to Brenna and William with a solemn expression.

"Did you find out the identities of those guys?" After learning that the owners of the three cars that fell into the water were not dead, Brenna waved her hand and looked at the young Guard Team Captain in front of her.

"Uh, this." The other party's face soured, and he said somewhat helplessly: "They don't have any obvious identification on them, and it will take time for us to query the database based on their appearances."

"Fine, fine."

Brenna had only asked casually in the first place, and she hadn't expected to find out anything in such a short amount of time.

"Go on with your work," she said.

"Yes."

Without saying anything more, the Guard Team Captain reached up to press his police cap and walked toward his adjutant, who was standing not far away directing the guard work.

"Ha, what a farce," Brenna said, glancing at the side of the street where William's earthy-yellow car had already been towed away by the guards.

"It looks like there's nothing left for us to do here." As she spoke, she turned her gaze to William at her side and continued: "You should be careful yourself."

"Although I think this was most likely just an accident, we cannot rule out the possibility that those guys were targeting you."

"Don't go out much lately; you can go hide at Big Brother's place. I have other things to attend to today, so I'll be off now~"

"What?" William, who had been somewhat distracted, came back to his senses. He looked at Brenna and asked in great surprise: "Are you leaving already?"

"Of course." Brenna grabbed Yun Mu, who had been in Invisibility for over five hundred words, and said: "If it weren't for this mess you caused, the two of us would have already left here and headed to Warm Snow Park."

"Didn't you say you came to Winter City for business? Why are you going to that kind of... wait." William stopped mid-sentence, suddenly thinking of something. A look of interest appeared on his face as he said: "Can you take me with you?"

"As you can see, my car is broken, and I have nothing to do for the moment..."

"Besides, I am a Second-tier Elite Knight. If you two ladies encounter any danger, I can protect you!" He said to Brenna with a wink.

"You?" Brenna looked at him with an expression of disgust and said: "I'm already a Third-tier Expert. What's the use of you showing off your Second-tier Knight profession every day?"

"You've reached the Expert rank?" The expression on William's face froze. He asked in disbelief: "How so fast? Oh no, I mean, when did that happen?"

"Hmph hmph, just a few months ago." Brenna seemed to enjoy his surprised expression and said: "Now you know. If you follow us, you'll be the weakest of the three of us."

"I..." William opened his mouth. He looked at Yun Mu, intending to say that she was also a Second-tier Transcendental, but the words died on his lips as he remembered what Brenna had said earlier.

About her defeating the Shadow Guard sent by that Big Brother.

So he could only swallow those words back into his heart.

"Alright, but even so, don't you need someone to help you carry things?" William lowered his head in frustration at first, but then thought of something and gritted his teeth.

"You guy, why are you so persistent?" Brenna looked at him with a strange expression.

"This..." William gave Yun Mu a subtle glance, then immediately looked away and said: "Oh, Brenna, my good sister, just take me with you."

"How about this?" His eyes rolled slightly as he said: "No matter what you buy today, I will reimburse all the costs. How about that?"

"Hmm?" Brenna, who had intended to refuse again, raised an eyebrow.

"Are you serious?" She said, clearly tempted.

"Of course!" Seeing this, William thought to himself that there was a chance, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

But then, he thought of something else and added: "As long as it doesn't exceed five hundred Gold Frost, I can pay for you."

"Then give me one hundred Gold Frost now," Brenna said, reaching out her hand.

"Ah?" William was slightly stunned.

"What?" Seeing his expression, Brenna spoke again: "I'm just asking you to reimburse my expenses in Winter City for the last two days. Are you reluctant?"

"Cough, cough, it's not that I'm reluctant..." Thinking that Yun Mu was still watching from the side, William's face turned awkward.

He reached into his pocket with a pained expression, took out his wallet, pulled out a check issued by Frost Bank for two hundred Gold Frost Coins, and handed it to Brenna.

"I don't have a check for one hundred Gold Frost. You can just keep the extra," he said, feigning generosity.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad." Satisfied, Brenna took the check from William's hand. Thinking of something, she asked casually: "Has the bill to issue paper currency to replace metal coins not passed through Parliament yet?"

"Not yet." William shook his head and complained: "You know how efficient those guys in Parliament are."

"I'm afraid this matter will have to be argued over three or four more times before they can even conduct an experimental issuance in some regions."

"Hehehe." Brenna chuckled at William's complaint.

She waved the check in her hand and said: "Then I'll thank those old guys in Parliament first. Thanks to them, I get to earn an extra one hundred Gold Frost!"

"Hey, I haven't left yet!" William responded indignantly.

"Hehe, I can't even be bothered to expose your little schemes. Let's go!" Brenna looked playfully at her brother's indignant expression. Ignoring his instantly flushed face, she grabbed Yun Mu's hand and walked toward Warm Snow Park.

Damn it, just because they are both girls, can they just hold hands like that?

William followed behind the two, feeling envious as he thought to himself.

What does a girl's hand feel like? Is it soft, warm? If you just give it a light squeeze, will she be so shy that she blushes... He fantasized about the plots from those fantasy novels in his mind.

This, this guy, could it be that he likes me?

Yun Mu, being pulled along by Brenna, thought with a slight twitch of her lips.

Don't ask her how she figured it out; let's just say it's all experience.

She understood these adolescent virgins far too well.

But the key point here is... before they went out, didn't Brenna help her put on makeup?

Furthermore, she was still wearing a pair of sunglasses. How did this guy fall for her looks?

Wait!

Yun Mu suddenly thought of something. Earlier, when they were taking photos at the tower restaurant, she had specifically washed off the makeup on her face because she had to take off her sunglasses!

So, she only had her sunglasses as a disguise now.

Sigh, her inescapable Charm is truly a headache.

There's no help for it; she'll just have to find a chance to reject him later.

Although that's what she said, she was actually feeling a little bit secretly pleased in her heart.

How did that saying go again?

A popular girl doesn't necessarily have Charm, but a girl no one likes certainly has no Charm.

From this perspective, being able to make a Prince fall for her, she is still quite full of Charm. However, this Second Prince William—he is a Prince after all, so why does his behavior look no different from a virgin? Is it because the profession of 【Knight】 doesn't allow for that sort of thing? Yun Mu speculated secretly in her heart.

Oh, poor William, he doesn't know it yet at this moment.

The ridiculous thoughts in his own heart have long since been guessed clearly by the two ladies.

Even the five-star general of the United States, MacArthur, once said: "If I were to see William Saelia at this moment, I fear I would be unable to resist kicking his butt hard with my foot!"

"Um, how old is the Second Prince this year?" Yun Mu asked Brenna in a very low voice.

"Hm?" The other party heard her question and immediately looked at her with some confusion.

However, Brenna didn't say anything, just turned her head to glance at William and said, "One year older than me, 17 this year."

"Only seventeen, no wonder..."

Before transmigrating, Yun Mu had already graduated from university for many years; to her, boys currently in high school... while they couldn't exactly be called children, they were all immature adults.

Hmm, they have a certain amount of spending power and are currently going through puberty—they are all top-tier, high-quality leeks!

*Cough cough! *

Thinking of this, Yun Mu couldn't help but feel her old face flush red.

Don't look at her like this; in reality, she still feels a bit embarrassed about the behavior of constantly feeding her fans empty promises.

For example, when she promised to update but ended up not updating in the end, she would feel guilty in her heart to the point of being unable to sleep or eat well.

And then she would dare to do it again next time—there was no other way, her productivity was just like that; besides guaranteeing the promise that it would absolutely be finished in the end, she had nothing else to give back to the fans.

Uh, although, she now, in all likelihood, has no way to go back and finish the work.

Hopefully, the fans on Earth won't blame her—perhaps by now, no one is paying attention to her anymore.

Damn it, that was an account I painstakingly maintained for five years! Thinking of this, Yun Mu's face immediately revealed a look of extreme heartache.

No, the most important thing is that no one told her she would transmigrate, and those files on her computer haven't been deleted yet, ah ah ah ah!

"Are, are you alright?" At this moment, William noticed Yun Mu's strange expression and asked.

"No, I'm fine." Hearing William's words, Yun Mu came back to her senses.

She supported her forehead with one hand and said, "It's just that I recalled some unpleasant things."

"Unpleasant things?"

Just as William was about to use this to open a topic and ask her what unpleasant things they were, Brenna, who was to the side, suddenly spoke up to interrupt the two of them.

"Warm Snow Park, we've arrived!"

"This is Warm Snow Park?"

Looking at Yun Mu, who was attracted by the scene at the park entrance, the words William had been brewing in his mouth immediately dissipated.

Forget it, there are still many opportunities this afternoon; William, believe in yourself, you can do it!

Secretly making up his mind, William followed behind the two of them.

"This park was originally built over thirty years ago, back when there were no Energy Towers in the city yet."

"It was for the purpose of providing people with a warm and comfortable place for recreation that this Warm Snow Park was built."

The group walked into the park, following a winding path hidden within a maple forest; along the way, Brenna introduced the history of this park to Yun Mu.

It is said that at the beginning, this park spent a huge sum of money to create a device that provided heating through geothermal energy.

It allowed people to take walks in a park as warm as spring even in the cold winter.

And that device is actually the prototype of the Energy Tower.

"When construction first began, apart from a few nobles, not many people actually cared about this park, until it became famous within the circle of the city's homeless."

Brenna said as they walked: "A warm place meant not having to worry about freezing to death outdoors, and the park itself didn't charge an admission fee, so large numbers of homeless people moved in."

"And the builder of this park didn't drive these homeless people out because of this; instead, they simply hired the vast majority of the homeless as park volunteers and publicized this matter through the media."

"That builder was very smart," Brenna evaluated.

"By paying only a negligible price, she earned herself a good reputation, and even today, Warm Snow Park remains a very famous location."

"Does it seem like someone is holding an event over there?" At this moment, listening to Brenna's introduction, Yun Mu suddenly saw a simple stage set up in an open space in the park in the distance.

"Shall we go take a look?" She proposed, a look of interest appearing on her face.

"Sure." Brenna nodded without hesitation.

As for William's opinion? No need to worry about him; after all, he is just a 【Knight】 here to 'protect' the two ladies—where to go for fun is not something he should be considering.

"There are quite a lot of people here."

Just as the three of them sat down, a girl wearing a light gray dress, plus a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, came to their side and handed the flyers in her hand to them.

After taking the flyer, Yun Mu looked at the Winter City residents sitting on the surrounding chairs and remarked with emotion.

"Warm Winter Art Festival?" She looked at the title on the flyer in her hand and read it aloud.

"This is too much of a coincidence, we actually happened to catch the event time!"

The flyer clearly stated that the event's start time was 5:00 in the evening, and the end time was roughly between 9:30 and 10:00 at night.

"It is indeed a coincidence," Brenna nodded in agreement.

The current time is 2:30 in the afternoon; there are two and a half hours left before the event here begins.

It's no wonder there are so many people in the park.

"Uh," Yun Mu thought of something and looked at Brenna with some worry, saying: "Did we have something else to do this afternoon?"

Noticing Yun Mu's concerned gaze, the corners of Brenna's mouth lifted slightly, and she said: "It's fine, there's still time to go do it now; we should be able to make it back for the evening art festival event."

"After all, it's rare to run into an event; it would be too much of a pity not to participate, wouldn't it?" She looked at Yun Mu and said with a light laugh.

PS: To prevent any potential misunderstandings that might arise.

I will state this in advance.

This book is single-protagonist, and there will not be any plots involving female leads being shy toward boys or leading boys on.

I am an experienced author, not a newbie, nor am I an idiot.

Do not ask me such moronic questions ()
