Chapter 148 Best Friend
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and a gentle breeze blows.
The lights in the Zishan Hotel were dim, but there weren't many people inside. There were two people, one sitting bored on the sofa looking at the other, and the other wiping the wine glasses at the counter, carefully sorting them, and putting the bottles back in their original places.
Then she poured two glasses of dark red wine, which shone brightly under the light, making it seem like a ruby.
The woman in the long black dress walked up to the other person.
He handed the other person a glass of wine, slowly sat down, and looked completely relaxed.
"I wonder what brings the noble Miss Iris to my humble shop?"
"Nothing much, just came to see an old friend and see if you still look as good as ever." The voluptuous woman, who had been lounging on the sofa, slowly got up and said with a smile.
"No thanks, I wouldn't dare have a friend like you. You've been to my shop twice, and both times the shop was smashed by monsters." The woman in the long dress slowly picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and savored it for a while. "Today is the third time."
As soon as the words were spoken, the wind chimes in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant started moving automatically without any wind.
"Ring ring one"
Iris chuckled, raised the wine glass on the table, and took a big gulp, making the woman in the black dress shudder.
"That's easy. Just report it and have the Magical Girl Headquarters send a magical girl over to guard the area. Let's see which foolish monster dares to attack here again."
'
The two women looked at each other silently.
Iris's flippant and rude behavior made the woman in the black dress frown slightly. "Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Yeah, about the calamity that happened in Kanan Ward a few days ago, it seems like your Villainess Association mobilized the whole team, right? I'm really curious about that. Tell me about it, my bestie. ::"
Iris pretended to hesitate for a moment, then generously said, "How about this, I won't hold it against you for always doing bad things in the name of the Abyss."
In response to Iris's light teasing, the woman in the black dress remained noncommittal: "Don't ask me about that. Go find the snake. I stopped interfering a long time ago."
Iris smiled gently, her hips swaying slightly as she moved closer to the woman in the black dress, and whispered, "My dear best friend, you don't want the restaurant to be attacked by the monsters again, do you?"
The woman in the black dress sat gracefully on the sofa, shoving away the other woman's slender fingers that were trying to move: "They wanted to deal with Violet, but they came up empty-handed."
After listening, Iris looked enlightened and smiled slightly, "What can those girls handle? If it weren't for you in charge, the Villainess Association would have been wiped out long ago."
The woman in the black dress remained calm, a faint smile playing on her lips: "If it weren't for you, Demoness Illusion Butterfly would have been exposed in Yeqiu City long ago."

After he finished speaking, the restaurant suddenly fell silent.
Iris's alluring eyes narrowed little by little, while the woman in the black dress remained as calm as ever: "I will no longer let those girls lay a hand on Violet, and I do not wish for any more calamity beasts to attack my shop."
After the woman in the black dress finished speaking, Iris let out a charming laugh: "If you had said so earlier, it might still have been useful."
Her gaze shifted, looking towards the direction of Furong District. "But it might be too late now. That girl Huan Die is probably already preparing to make her move against you."
The woman in the black dress remained expressionless, her voice still clear and crisp: "If you do something wrong, you should be punished, but there has to be a limit."
Iris's lips curled into a half-smile as she looked at the other person: "If it were before, this girl would listen to me, but this time..."
"And this?" The woman in the black dress took out a shimmering crystal and placed it on the table.
Seeing the items on the table, Iris's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise. She immediately reached out and picked them up, examining them closely before smiling with satisfaction: "Of course, we're best friends!"
After a pause, she added softly, "However, I think your shop still needs some renovations. What do you think?"
"Hmph." The woman in the black dress snorted coldly, glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "You'll have to pay for the renovations."
Without a second thought, Iris immediately agreed.
"Can!"
This night is not peaceful.
Shortly after Demoness Iris left the restaurant, the woman in the black dress dialed a number, then hung up after a few seconds.
A person sat quietly on the sofa, savoring the dark red wine.
The eerie green eyes stared at the darkness outside the restaurant.
After ten minutes,
The snake witch entered the restaurant, causing the wind chimes to tinkle softly.
Her long, silvery-white hair was slightly curled and cascaded down, making her look somewhat carefree and rebellious.
"Sister Raven, what did you call me here for?"
The snake was somewhat puzzled. The Raven Witch usually wouldn't call her at this time unless it was something urgent.
Upon entering the restaurant, I saw the other person sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping their wine, and they didn't seem to be in any hurry.
"Tell me about everything from when you first met Violet to how you deduced her identity."
The leech's eyes flickered for a moment. It should be noted that the Raven Witch never asked for specific details, usually only getting a general idea. Clearly, what she did recently had left a bad impression on the other party.
The consequences were just 16 deaths, what's the big deal?
Moreover, she didn't know the snake's true identity. If she had, she would never have let it leave alive.
But the Raven Witch was, after all, a senior, and she had to be given due respect. She said softly, "Our first meeting was at the park in Dongguan City. We fought, and she was very strong; I didn't win. It was from then on that I began investigating her."
Among them, I discovered a key character: the magical girl, Green Ivy, also known as Bai Youqing.
"I've noticed that Violet always appears whenever Bai Youqing encounters a calamity beast. The first time was at the wetland park, the second time was at the Dongguan City Park, and the third time was on the rooftop of Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School. This special care can't just be a senior taking care of a junior, so I suspect that Violet is Bai Youqing's relative or good friend."
"Bai Youqing's brother is a teacher, the same perverted lolicon we met a few days ago, so we can rule him out, but I think he's someone we can use. Then there's Li Xuanyu, a student at Changya High School; we've already tested her."
Although she's also a magical girl, she's not Violet. The third one is Ning Zixuan. She returned to Yeqiu City a year ago, and Bai Youqing was her follower when she was little, so they had a very good relationship. Therefore, I basically concluded that she is Violet, but...
"But in the end, you found the Snake Witch, using the pretext of killing the Violet Mage to kill the Snake Witch, right—..."
The strange look in the Raven Witch's eyes disappeared, and she sighed, "Go back now. From now on, the position of president of the Villainess Association will be handed over to the snake."
"Okay."
Moonlight filtered through the clouds, dappling the snake's cold, stern face.
Her eyes gleamed with a dark light, as if concealing a thousand years of hatred and rage.
She didn't understand why Raven had revoked her privileges after only sixteen ordinary people had died.
Over the years, I've worked myself to the bone. Even if I haven't achieved anything great, I've certainly put in the hard work!
They left as soon as they were told to.
This is simply outrageous!
Sure enough, these old relics should be swept into the dustbin of history, instead of stubbornly occupying their place without doing anything.
