A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 94

[Vol. 3] Chapter 94: Righteous and Confident!

Traces resembling bear claw marks, one could say, were deeply ingrained. They were so profound that they almost punctured the wooden boards. If a human were to be in their place, it was estimated that one swipe could have created a sizable cavity in the body!

Curiously observing, Ifia discovered some debris covering the claw marks, perhaps intended to conceal them by members of the Xero fleet. Due to being preoccupied with pleasing Amelia, the coverings of these items had shifted, exposing the claw marks!

In addition to the claw marks, there were traces of blue liquid left behind, resembling the shape of splattered blood, emitting an eerie feeling. Ifia’s ominous premonition had been on high alert, warning of danger.

This ship undoubtedly harbored secrets! Perhaps seeking protection from the Sith Empire fleet had been just an excuse to evade pursuit by sea monsters!

No wonder they could readily offer Xero blood diamonds as a token of greeting. Surely, their ambitions were grand! Could it be they aimed for treachery… no, they sought to harm this innocent group and absorb the Sith Empire fleet?

Sensing the scent of conspiracy, Ifia’s heart rate surged, as if it wanted to burst out of her chest, despite her attempts to quiet it.

As for what she feared?

After all, being in enemy territory, even though Ifia knew Amelia was formidable and all these Xero people combined couldn’t match her, Ifia still felt timid… this psychological state was beyond control unless Ifia herself became strong. Only then would she be fearless.

Amelia keenly sensed something amiss. She glanced down at Ifia’s somewhat pale face and slightly trembling body, a look of being frightened.

Following Ifia’s occasional glances in a certain direction, Amelia noticed a deep claw mark catching her eye.

So, that’s what she saw.

Amelia frowned at the carelessness and foolishness of the Xero fleet. Without further ado, she didn’t bother with Captain Checola’s banter, but instead delegated authority to her entourage.

After a few casual instructions, she washed her hands of the matter.

Then, suddenly, Amelia reached out and pulled Ifia into her arms. As Ifia looked up in surprise, Amelia deftly jumped down from the deck.

The swift descent stirred up the wind, tousling their long hair.

The next moment, Amelia landed steadily on the small boat with Ifia in her arms, and the two of them set off alone. Departing from the dilapidated ships of the Xero fleet, Ifia couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, they were away! However, even though they were far from the source of fear, Ifia still felt uneasy and drew closer to Amelia, shamelessly occupying her warm embrace, seeking security from her good friend.

At the same time, Ifia didn’t guard against Amelia and quickly disclosed her findings. “Amelia, I saw a beast’s claw mark on that ship, it’s so abnormal! They must be hiding something. We should refuse to help them and leave quickly!”

At this thought, Ifia remembered that Amelia hadn’t accepted the token of greeting, which was a bit of a shame. The Xero fleet’s request for assistance was not well-intentioned, it was only fair for them to gain some benefit from their side! Although she was slightly disappointed with the Xero blood diamonds, they were still invaluable treasures…

While Ifia was feeling regretful, Amelia reached out soothingly and stroked her head, like calming a ruffled cat, magically easing Ifia’s tense mood. Seeing Ifia return to normal, Amelia spoke up, “It’s okay, they pose no threat to me.”

As someone who was already aware of the situation, Amelia was indeed not worried. Like weak insects that could be easily crushed underfoot, there was nothing to fear. Instead, it was the other side that should be trembling at her feet.

However, considering that Ifia is just a fragile human, and humans are always easily frightened… So, the primary focus should be on comforting her and reassuring her.

“Really?”

Ifia looked up at Amelia, her cute almond eyes glistening with moisture, clinging to her like a frightened kitten, prompting Amelia to lean down and kiss her forehead.

Then, with sincerity, Amelia gave her assurance. “Really.”

Amelia remembered that Ifia liked Xero blood diamonds, so she insisted on continuing with the trade.

All these Xero blood diamonds would definitely belong to Ifia.

Of course, she could have simply seized them forcefully, which would be more in line with demonic behavior.

However, in order to maintain her image in front of Ifia, Amelia decided to follow the normal process, even though it was a bit troublesome.

As Ifia’s emotions gradually calmed down, she also realized that her previous suggestion was somewhat unreasonable. Knowing the value of Xero blood diamonds from Jessica, canceling the trade would mean losing thirty Xero blood diamonds. Each Xero blood diamond was worth its weight in gold and beyond.

If converted to gold, it would be astronomical!

With such huge profits at stake, she wasn’t willing to give up easily. After all, fortune favors the bold…

Since Amelia assured her that nothing would go wrong, there must be a plan in her mind. It’s better for her not to overthink it and just stick with Amelia, even if it means staying on the ship continuously. The Xero fleet wouldn’t succeed in their scheming, no matter what!

After comforting herself with these thoughts, the small boat returned to the Sith Empire fleet’s side. Stepping back onto the familiar sturdy deck without any creaking sounds was truly relaxing!

Finally, there was no need to worry about falling off the deck anymore!

Their trip didn’t take long, but rowing the small boat back and forth consumed a lot of time, though it only took half an hour in total. However, since they had left from Taric in the afternoon, by the time they returned, the sun had already begun to set.

The warm glow of dusk descended, casting everything in a layer of orange-red chiffon, even the chilly sea surface felt warm, inducing relaxation.

However, as soon as Ifia and Amelia returned, they saw Jessica sitting leisurely on a lounge chair, holding a glass of orange juice, seemingly waiting for their return. Beside her, Austin was smiling as she helped fan her.

The two seemed to be conversing, and after Jessica gestured curtly, Austin didn’t seem offended. Instead, her smile became even brighter.

With a hint of sexy androgyny, Jessica’s demeanor was irresistibly captivating. However, she wasn’t buying it and was visibly irritable.

Immediately, when Jessica noticed Ifia and the two returning, she abandoned Austin and excitedly rushed over like an eager puppy, her brown-red eyes brimming with an “I want to know the negotiation process right now” expression!

Jessica’s enthusiasm and familiarity made Ifia feel much better. Compared to the powerful Amelia, Jessica was a more suitable companion for the weak.

So, Ifia reached out and pulled Jessica aside, and the two began to chatter animatedly, leaving Austin behind. She looked up at Amelia, who had an unfriendly expression. Austin was a little afraid and nervously touched her nose.

Miss Barlen’s possessiveness remained as strong as ever!

However, compared to her straightforward pursuit of Jessica, Miss Barlen could only endure…

At this moment, Austin was very grateful that Jessica only had a touch of tsundere and was carefree, unlike Ifia’s innocence.

If Miss Barlen were to express her pursuit, perhaps Ifia would reject her outright, insisting they were just friends.

Ugh! Just thinking about it was frustrating.

So, it only takes a second to understand the frustration of unfulfilled desires, hehehe.

Austin’s unintentional sympathy was evident in her eyes, and Amelia caught onto it immediately. With sharp purple eyes and a smirk playing on her lips, she promptly decided to give Austin something to do.

It just so happened that someone was needed to handle the aftermath with the Xero fleet. Austin was quite suitable for the task.
