Chapter 416 Extremely Jealous
The witch of the Fischer family?
Am I actually inside Fischer Manor?
Upon realizing she was in the home of her enemy, Charlotte’s heart was instantly filled with indescribable terror as if the entire world had lost its color and warmth at that moment.
Her eyes were wide open, reflecting not peace, but endless shock and disbelief.
Fear, like icy tides, surged rapidly from the soles of Charlotte’s feet, spreading through her entire body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably as every nerve tensed to its limit, as if they could snap at any moment.
She tried to control herself, but her body’s reaction far outpaced her reasoning, beginning to shake uncontrollably, like the helpless and fragile leaves in a chilly wind.
Why did I wake up here? Does she know my true identity? What kind of person is this “witch”? Is my teacher still alive? What should I do next?
Countless thoughts flashed through Charlotte’s mind, each like a sharp blade, slicing through her already fragile spirit.
She couldn’t understand why fate was playing such a cruel trick on her, finding herself in the most dangerous place when she needed safety the most.
Nor could Charlotte comprehend why her momentary savior, who offered her brief warmth and hope, turned out to be her deeply despised enemy.
Fate always seems to make the cruelest jokes.
“What’s wrong?” Hecate asked calmly.
“Nothing… I just feel a bit unwell.”
“Thank you, thank you for saving me.”
Charlotte managed to say, then couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling innate fear and horror, deep down she was certain not to reveal her identity, otherwise, it would surely be a terrible end!
In fact, on the eve of her arrival in Nasir City, she had already learned a lot of information about the Fischer family, these demons, and remembered every bit of information behind each name very clearly.
She had also heard of the name “Demonic Woman” Hecate, though information about Hecate was extremely scarce and secretive.
She seemed to have just come of age not long ago, still not quite twenty years old, a young woman who had never done anything for the Fischer family, not even having left Nasir City.
The most notable thing about the “Demonic Woman” was her exaggerated beauty and her very special eyes…
It was said that beneath her eyes, a seal held the gateway to Abyss Hell, thus Hecate was also called a witch by those around her, even feared within her own family.
Charlotte couldn’t help but look at Hecate’s closed eyes, finding it hard to believe that those eyes contained such immense power.
She was in turmoil, forcing herself to think.
Where was my teacher?
Why am I here, saved by a woman from a demonic family?
And can I…
…kill her?
Charlotte stared at Hecate’s strikingly beautiful face, recalling the turmoil she had gone through over the years, anger instantly ignited deep within her, almost inextinguishable like an oil-fed flame, then suddenly delighting to find her usual Alchemical Dagger still hung at her waist.
Good, very good, this dagger of mine is an Alchemical Weapon infused with “toxin,” and if I can inflict a wound on her… it might be lethal.
Charlotte couldn’t help but smile, carefully contemplating, her eyes fixed on the silver-haired girl.
Unless she’s a Transmutation Level Extraordinary Exponent, she would hardly be able to withstand the fierce poison on the dagger, otherwise, it’s very likely she would gradually succumb to the toxicity… But the likelihood of reaching Transmutation Level at her age is actually not high.
After all, not everyone is a genius like me.
Just then, the “Demonic Woman” came closer.
Charlotte instantly tensed up, and the more she looked at the beautiful face, the deeper her inner revulsion grew.
“Demonic Woman”… perhaps what they said is true, her beautiful exterior merely cloaks a deeply malicious demon inside!
However, Hecate simply reached out calmly, groping to hand over a bowl of medicinal soup, smiling gently.
“Drink this. I found you very cold when I discovered you; this warm medicinal soup should help you recover quicker.”
Charlotte hesitated, realizing that it would have been easy for the other to harm her, so it was very likely she did not know Charlotte’s true identity.
“Thank you.”

Charlotte’s voice was still hoarse; after drinking the soup, she immediately felt much better, thus her affection for Hecate grew somewhat.
Hecate sighed and reached out again.
Charlotte instinctively wanted to dodge, yet her forehead was still stroked. She shivered slightly, her mind unavoidably recalling her sister and mother.
Charlotte remained still, Hecate continued softly.
“It’s sad, winter is nearly here, the weather outside is so cold, I don’t even want to leave the house, and you endured a whole night in the rain… It couldn’t have been easy…”
Surely, judging from the habit, she can’t be a Transmutation Level Extraordinary Exponent!
Charlotte quickly analyzed in her mind, for a Transmutation Level Extraordinary Exponent, ordinary extreme cold or heat would hardly be a problem, even high-level Beginning Extraordinary Exponents don’t care much about it.
