137: Elizabeth's Breakthrough

Chapter 137: Elizabeth's Emotional Breakdown

Hearing Dick's indifferent reply, Elizabeth was a bit dissatisfied and couldn't help but say again, "But you clearly could have slain evil and upheld justice, just like on the First Layer..."

"Indeed, I could," Dick chuckled and nodded, then added, "But there's no need."

"But, but it's just a matter of convenience. Donald might be able to instantly kill Lieta with one arrow and help that short-haired woman get revenge!"

Listening to Elizabeth's somewhat agitated words, Dick rolled his eyes at her and spread his hands, saying, "But why should I help her get revenge?"

"Why... Of course, it's because..."

Elizabeth was momentarily speechless. She found that she couldn't find a suitable reason. Dick didn't know that short-haired woman at all, and her tragedy was self-inflicted.

Why should Dick fight for a woman he didn't know and who brought her own demise, and for the Firebird Squad?

But soon, Elizabeth found a far-fetched excuse and muttered, "But didn't you promise the short-haired woman? To help her get revenge for that Beast heart!"

"My dear Your Majesty," Dick asked back with a strange expression, "When did I promise to help that short-haired woman get revenge?"

"But she clearly said..."

"Please, Elizabeth, I intended to do the same thing as Lieta from the start, just by force, not by transaction!"

If Dick had met the short-haired woman before Lieta, he would have done the same thing. Bullying the weak is only natural.

What? You won't give it?

I don't care if you give it or not, a pile of flesh and mud won't resist.

"It's simple. Lieta snatched the Beast heart from the short-haired woman, and I snatched it from Lieta."

"She feared Donald's strength, so she willingly gave up the heart. A wise man knows when to submit. She's much smarter than that short-haired woman."

Hearing this, Elizabeth stammered for a long time, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

She felt that what Dick did was wrong, but the principle of the strong preying on the weak was so correct, and she also felt that the short-haired woman deserved to die.

Seeing that Elizabeth was still struggling, Dick said disdainfully, "Elizabeth, you don't actually want to uphold justice."

"You just want to satisfy yourself under the guise of upholding justice."

Dick's words were so blunt that Elizabeth was stunned on the spot. She quickly pulled off her mask and said with a flushed face, "What, what are you saying, Dick, this is slander..."

It was clear that Elizabeth had a breakdown, a major breakdown!

"Tsk, put your mask back on. Your face mustn't be exposed!"

"Mmm mmm mmm, Dick, you must apologize for insulting my character, mmm mmm..."

After some struggling, Elizabeth finally quieted down, but not because Dick apologized, but because she was taken advantage of.

In the blind spot of the surrounding people's view, Dick's hand speed was extremely fast, catching Elizabeth somewhat off guard.

As the dignified Empress, Elizabeth had never been treated like this before... Well, except for the intimate things that happened in Dick's room earlier.

Dick didn't apologize; after all, he did it on purpose. It was the quickest way to make Elizabeth quiet down.

Efficiency was always Dick's highest pursuit.

Although Elizabeth was filled with shame and indignation, she could only suffer in silence, unable to voice her bitterness.

However, besides shame and indignation, Elizabeth also felt a bit inferior, worried that Dick's impression would be too poor and he would dislike her.

For so long, Elizabeth had never felt anything wrong with her flatness. After all, if one's chest isn't flat, how can one conquer the world?

But after meeting Dick, Elizabeth started caring about this aspect and even entrusted other maids to investigate ways to "grow".

Elizabeth found that she was almost the flattest.

If sorted simply, it would be herself < Xiao Nai < Mina < Alice < Cecilia < Beyonce.

Elizabeth hadn't met Anberer'er, otherwise she would have ranked this female ghost after Beyonce.

Ever since Anberer'er evolved into a Nightmare, her voluptuous figure as a mature beautiful woman was maximized, two cup sizes larger than Beyonce, who was an Orc.

"Alas, am I really in a growth period? Why is there no movement at all..."

Cecilia, who was nearby, saw Elizabeth sighing and immediately came closer, asking, "Your Majesty, why are you sighing here?"

Cecilia was a head taller than Elizabeth, and at close range, her ample bosom was directly presented before her eyes.

This made Elizabeth subconsciously recall the past. Back then, when Cecilia was also 19, her size was already exaggerated, while she herself...

"Alas!"

Elizabeth's sigh became heavier, making Cecilia even more confused.

Not long after, the group arrived beside a broken bridge.

After a brief observation of the surroundings, Dick judged that the bridge had just broken and was likely a terrible trap.

Clear river water flowed under the broken bridge, but the surroundings emitted waves of foul odor, and not a single fish could be seen in the river. It didn't even flow; it was stagnant water.

It was obvious that there was something wrong with the river water and it shouldn't be touched easily.

Dick cautiously threw a stone into the river water. The next second, a "hissing" sound rang out, the river water bubbled with cloudy white foam, and wisps of green smoke rose up.

"Hiss... This river water is actually extremely corrosive!" Xiao Nai exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged Dick's arm again.

The group retreated because even the green smoke was corrosive and very terrifying.

Dick glanced at the broken bridge again and quickly figured out what had happened there before.

Presumably, an adventure team passed by here and had an accident while crossing the bridge, causing everyone to fall into the river water.

And judging by appearances, that unlucky team must have been corroded until not even a trace remained.

This is the characteristic of the Third Layer: there are many traps, and every step must be taken very carefully, otherwise you won't even know how you died.

Although Dick had previously spent a large sum and fortunately obtained a map of the Third Layer's trap distribution, it only recorded the traps that had already been triggered.

Generally speaking, there is an absolutely safe route where no traps will be triggered along the way.

But the broken bridge in front of them was clearly a new trap that had appeared. The so-called safe route was no longer safe.

They had just arrived on the Third Layer and still had a long way to go. There would likely be many traps along the way, full of danger.

What should they do?

After thinking for a moment, Dick said in a low voice, "Kun!"

The next second, a young man with a middle parting appeared in front of Dick. He had a bitter expression, sighing inwardly at the unfairness of Fate.

Kun knew that Dick would use him to scout the way!
