Simone wasn't defending the scoundrels. She was simply searching for a reason to apprehend this warlock. However, the scoundrels were unaware of Simone's intentions and couldn't help but be touched. The more they pondered, the more they realized that having a sister like Simone was the best thing that could happen to them.
If it were Jodie, she would have fled faster than them upon encountering this warlock. Not only would she disregard their lives, but she wouldn't even bother helping them find an excuse. But Simone was still protecting them.
Simone noticed the scoundrels looking at her with gratitude in their eyes. She furrowed her brow and said, "Don't read too much into it."
But their gratitude remained unchanged. They nodded as if to say, 'Yes, we won't overthink it.'
Simone: "..." Overthinking is a problem.
Ignoring the three of them, she focused her gaze on the warlock. Simone coldly stated, "What you just did was illegal, so you must face the consequences."
The warlock frowned, "I am from Wocron."
Simone asserted dominantly and forcefully, "Our turf, our rules."
The warlock felt a twinge of guilt and stubbornly argued, "But you have no right to punish me. How about I go to your geomancy association in the ancient city?" He was a member of the geomancy association, and once he went there, he would be protected.
He wouldn't simply let things go after being manipulated like this today.
Simone looked at the warlock as if he were an idiot and said, "If you want to be killed, then go ahead. And then they'll frame me as the murderer. I don't mind, and I'm not afraid of your master. But you, on the other hand, are pitiful. You willingly walked into a trap and caused your master to bark up the wrong tree for vengeance. I have someone backing me up. When your master arrives, he might not be able to leave."
The warlock: "..." She's frightening. But after hearing this, he truly didn't dare to go to the geomancy association alone.
If that guy wanted to frame Simone, he would kill the warlock and then instigate his master.
Then I'd have died for nothing. His expression turned even uglier, "Not everyone has the right to arrest anyone in your country. How about you let me go? I'll do something for you in the future. Isn't Melinda always trying to harm you? I can help you deal with her. Now, he felt that he couldn't see through Simone at all. Her strength must be superior to his.
A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. He found this saying to be very reasonable.
Simone sneered, "You're quite foolish, being manipulated before and made a fool of. And now you still can't see your own situation clearly. Do you think I need you to help me deal with Melinda?" she continued, changing her tone. "Besides, I am a law-abiding citizen. She set a malicious trap up for me, but I will abide by the law and not harm others recklessly."
As she stepped forward, she hung her phone around her neck and continued recording the video. Then, she retrieved her identification from her bag. "I am from a special department. I witnessed you committing a crime just now, attempting to kill someone. You are under arrest."
Before the warlock arrived, she had already figured out how to handle the situation. Killing in self-defense was the last resort. She wouldn't let the warlock die, but she wouldn't let him off easily either. She would send him to the prison of the special department, where he could be reformed and start anew. And when he was caught, he would blame the person who plotted against him.
The key to her plan was to treat others as they treated her. The person behind the scenes wanted to use someone else to kill her. So, she would use the same method to strike back, playing the same game of deception.
She held no grudge against the warlock, so there was no need to confront him directly. In fact, it was his disciple who wanted to attack her first, making him the one at fault. So, it was better to let them fight each other, along with the person behind the scenes.
The warlock's expression changed. "You're actually from the special department. You won't let me go?"
Simone raised an eyebrow. "What do you think? You're resisting arrest? Then I'll have to resort to extreme measures."
The warlock screamed in pain. I never said I wanted to be arrested. She must be using this as an excuse to get back at me!
