“I’m going to beat her until she falls apart.”
Stretching out her hand to point at her bewildered younger sister, Luo Shuangyue declared this with conviction.
Hearing this, Luo Shuangxing’s eyes widened in shock. What? Why me?!
I’m your real sister! How could you treat me like this?!
“Why does it have to be me?!” She glared at Luo Shuangyue in grief and indignation.
If this lousy sister didn’t give her a reasonable explanation, then this matter was far from over!
Luo Shuangyue spread her little hands. “Rosemary wants to beat me until I fall apart, so she definitely can’t be the one to fall apart, right?”
After all, the main character of this scene is Xia Mo.
Luo Shuangxing, as a side character, can’t steal the spotlight.
Unless you say Luo Shuangyue beats Xia Mo until she falls apart, and then Luo Shuangxing explodes with emotion and tears Luo Shuangyue apart instead.
But that’s a bit too abstract. Among the five people present, probably not a single one would think that’s a good idea.
So, the only ones who could be beaten by Luo Shuangyue until they fell apart were two: Lily of the Valley and Siam.
She had to pick one of the two for the beating, and as for Luo Shuangyue—
She didn’t even hesitate.
Not choosing her own dear sister—how could you call that sibling love?
“Siam or you, I prefer you, isn’t that fine?” Luo Shuangyue smiled at Luo Shuangxing.
Compared to beating up Siam, whom she didn’t really know, it was just more convenient to beat up her own sister.
Besides, as Lord Dark Moth, her relationship with Lily of the Valley was already pretty decent.
So picking Lily of the Valley was only natural.
This reason was more than enough, and Luo Shuangxing made a mental note to hold this against Luo Shuangyue.
So you prefer me, huh, you rotten sister!
Just you wait until I expose your secret identity—let’s see how I deal with you then!
This grudge, I, Luo Shuangxing, will remember!
“Fine, I agree.” Luo Shuangxing gritted her teeth, squeezing out her words one by one in a vicious tone.
Xia Mo glanced at the sisters with a helpless expression. From a certain point of view, the Luo siblings—no, sisters—really did have a good relationship.
Seeing that Luo Shuangyue and Luo Shuangxing had settled the matter of who would be dismantled, Long Wen began discussing the details of the act with everyone.
The performance had to be realistic enough to pass for the real thing.
“Last night, I heard some rumors. Apparently, someone discovered traces of a Sealing Card in this area.”
“Oh? Is the news reliable?”
“Not sure yet, it’s just hearsay. But Xinghai City is White Night’s hometown. There are definitely quite a few Sealing Cards left here.”
The Black-clad Men huddled together, discussing for a long time.
In the end, they decided that regardless of whether the rumor was true or not, they would go check the place out.
Master urgently needed to absorb the power within the Sealing Cards to heal. Even if it was a trap, they had to take the risk.
After all, Sealing Cards were something unique to White Night, and nobody else could imitate them.
Even if this really was a Magic Department trap, the bait for fishing had to be a genuine Sealing Card.
“Even if I die there, I’ll take the Sealing Card back and offer it to Master!”
Time flashed by, and it was already late at night.
Three Black-clad Men, dressed in night gear, sped through the city under cover of darkness, hurrying toward the rumored location.
But when they arrived at the scene, they realized they weren’t the first ones there.
Four figures were clashing in the sky, colliding again and again. Judging by the scene, it had to be the Magical Girls of Xinghai City and their enemies.
“Rosemary, Lily of the Valley, Siam, Dark Moth… Basically everyone from the intel is here!” One of the Black-clad Men looked up and quickly reported the names of those fighting.
“I heard that Rosemary and Dark Moth have been fighting over Sealing Cards several times lately. Looks like this is another one of those times.”
According to the intelligence the Black-clad Men had gathered in recent days, the main villain in Xinghai City was Dark Moth, whose goal was actually quite similar to their own Master’s: both sought to collect Sealing Cards.
As for the Magical Girls, naturally, they were there to stop Dark Moth.
When these two groups encountered outside enemies, they’d cooperate; but if there were no external threats, they’d fight as fiercely as they were now.
“No doubt about it. Even they’re here, so it must be a real Sealing Card!” The second Black-clad Man said excitedly.
They didn’t suspect at all that this might be a trap—perhaps one set by Dark Moth and the Magical Girls working together to lure them in.
After all, in their minds, they’d slipped into Xinghai City unnoticed. There was no way Dark Moth or the Magical Girls could have known they’d already snuck in.
If they didn’t even know, who could this trap be for? It couldn’t be for imaginary enemies, could it?
And looking at the people fighting in the sky, they were clearly going at it for real.
Especially the way Dark Moth was beating up Lily of the Valley—it looked like she was about to cut her down for good.
“The card’s on the ground—oh, that’s the aura of a King-class Magic Beast! We hit the jackpot this time!” The third Black-clad Man spotted the Sealing Card on the ground beneath the battlefield.
The card’s color was a bit dim, covered with fine cracks, and a surge of King-class Magic Beast energy was slowly seeping out.
The magic was so real, it couldn’t possibly be faked. No doubt about it, this was a genuine Sealing Card.
“I’ll go get it,” said the third Black-clad Man, about to move for the card.
But a hand stopped him.
“Don’t rush. If you go now, you’ll just become a target for those Magical Girls. They might turn their guns on you.”
“With the intensity of their fight, they’ll probably end up hurting each other badly soon. When that happens, we can step in and take the Sealing Card easily.”
No sooner had the first Black-clad Man finished speaking than a sorrowful, angry cry rang out from above.
The Black-clad Men looked up to see that Lily of the Valley, who had just barely been holding off Dark Moth’s attacks, had been struck in the chest by Dark Moth’s scythe, sending her flying with a miserable scream.
White motes of light drifted from Lily of the Valley’s body as Siam hurriedly rushed over, catching Lily of the Valley’s reverted form in her arms.
Rosemary, seeing this, let out a furious, grief-stricken roar. “Dark Moth, you’ve gone too far!”
As soon as she spoke, the four Floating Cannons behind her blazed with light, firing a terrifying magic blast at Dark Moth.
Dark Moth, who had just sent Lily of the Valley flying, was caught completely off guard by the sudden, powerful magic cannon. She only had time to use her scythe to shield herself.
But such a defense was nowhere near enough to withstand the power of the magic cannon.
She was quickly blasted down to the ground.
A small purple mushroom cloud rose from the earth as Dark Moth tumbled across the ground in a sorry state.
As butterflies drifted away from her, she, too, was left unable to rise.
After that blow, Rosemary’s aura also weakened, and the four Floating Cannons on her back, as if drained of all energy, folded back behind her once more.
