Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 220 - 218: Extra Release

Jeremy gave a gentlemanly smile, "Young Master Yu, please don’t get angry. You know, we’re just following orders. It’s the message from Marquis Grant we’re conveying; we wouldn’t dare to act against his wishes."

Yuze lazily glanced at him, "Don’t use Grant to pressure me. His influence isn’t enough to sway me. If he has any opinions, let him come and talk to me himself. Now, please leave. Don’t delay my kid’s breakfast; it’s important for her growth."

Webb and Jeremy exchanged glances, wanted to say something, but ultimately left the Mysterious Guild dejectedly.

Josh drank his milk in one go, burped, "It’s resolved just like that?"

Yuze glanced at the little head poking out from the side, "What else?"

Josh clapped his hands with the cup in them, "Captain, you’re awesome! Amazing, amazing, amazing~"

Rob exclaimed, "Damn it! He put on a show again! When can I see the captain’s act and not be moved!"

The security guard outside the door knocked and entered, "Coach Ma Qi."

Ma Qi got up and went outside, "What’s up?"

The security guard said, "There’s a woman at the door claiming to be Josh’s mother, saying she wants to see her."

Ma Qi glanced at the surveillance image of the door on his smart wristband and nodded, "Let her in."

The security guard replied, "Coach, she says she wants Josh to come out to see her; she’ll just say a couple of words and leave."

Ma Qi frowned slightly, finding this attitude very strange.

It seemed that this legendary Mrs. Augustine indeed favored her adopted daughter Susan more.

He went back to the first-floor dining room and told Josh about it.

Josh was a bit surprised, then quickly understood.

Without any reason, she came looking for her. It must be because her precious adopted daughter said something in a spoiled manner again.

Josh originally didn’t want to meet her, but then thought, since she’s idle anyway, why not go and upset her a little, just for fun.

Josh looked at Ma Qi, "Then I’ll go take a look, since my mom came in person."

Ma Qi nodded, watching Josh leave.

Seeing the kid’s cheerful back running out, he thought interactions with the family should still be okay, at least not as exaggerated as Susan had said.

Josh walked to the door and saw a spacecraft parked there.

The spacecraft was a brand commonly used by nobles, understated but luxurious and meaningful.

After all, her dad’s an Earl, not as high as a Marquis, but at least a city leader, with pretty decent material conditions.

Josh walked over and knocked on the car window.

The window was quickly rolled down, with Cherry sitting in the back seat. She opened the door, "Get in so we can talk."

Josh got in smoothly and slammed the door shut with a thud.

Cherry was startled by the noise, a bit displeased, "How are you still so reckless even after coming to Burn City? Can’t you have a bit of ladylike demeanor!"

Josh smiled lightly, "You know me, I’m a Garbage Star native."

Cherry glared at her and, upon seeing the clothes she was wearing, couldn’t help but pause.

She was dressed in the simplest home attire, a beige loose sweatshirt and pants, made from soft material.

The clothes had a very good design, accentuating her fair, petite figure, making her look soft, docile, and clean, like a cute little child.

But what surprised Cherry wasn’t the material of the clothes, but an unobtrusive embroidered pattern on the sleeve.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this brand was exclusively for the Clarence Duke’s family, right?

There were only seven dukes on the entire Federation Planet, with the Clarence family being the most prosperous of them all.

This brand of clothing was only supplied to the Clarence Family. How could Josh be wearing these clothes?

It’s a crime to wear fake products of this exclusive brand, and Josh was in the Mysterious Guild every day. People in the guild wouldn’t let her make such a blatant mistake.

The only connection between the Mysterious Guild and the Clarence Family was the A-team’s captain.

Does Yuze like her a lot?

Cherry asked calmly, "Did you buy the clothes yourself? They’re a good fit."

Josh glanced at her clothes, "My captain bought them for me."

A glint appeared in Cherry’s eyes, indeed, it was Yuze.

That high and mighty God’s Favorite actually befriended someone from Garbage Star?

She thought Josh, being in the first team, would be looked down upon and ostracized by people in the team.

She underestimated this daughter of hers.

However, no matter how strong a worthless person from Garbage Star is, she can never be stronger than Susan, whom she painstakingly raised over the years!

Never!

Cherry said coldly, "People see you as a Garbage Star native and pity you by giving you clothes. If you had any self-respect, you shouldn’t accept someone’s charity, lest people mistake you for a beggar and disgrace the Augustine family!"

She detested this biological daughter from the bottom of her heart. If Susan were her biological daughter, she wouldn’t have so many worries!

The better Josh was, the greater her "sin" for sending her to Garbage Planet back then, and the more the Augustine family’s future condemnation against her would be, especially from her husband.

Now her husband’s only attachment to her is that she has cultivated a good daughter with A-grade spiritual power who entered the first team of the Angel’s Wings Guild.

She absolutely couldn’t let Josh ruin this!

Seeing her not responding, Cherry frowned slightly, "Did you hear me? If you have any guts, stay away from those people in the Mysterious Guild, don’t let them think you’re a beggar who’s never seen the world, wagging your tail like a stupid lapdog begging for treats."

Josh suddenly laughed, "Mommy~"

Cherry: "..."

Josh leaned closer, her big eyes blinked as she stared at her, "Are you jealous? Jealous that I’m thriving in the Mysterious Guild, while your precious daughter Susan is cowering in Angel’s Wings, like a real weed, wagging her tail and begging all around."

"You!" Cherry’s eyes widened incredulously, "How could you say something so rude?!"

"Rude?" Josh scratched her head in confusion, "I didn’t curse you to be a stupid lapdog, or call you a beggar who’s never seen the world, nor did I say your beggarly appearance disgraced the Augustine family, how was what I said rude?"

"Josh!" Cherry shouted in anger.

Josh laughed coldly, "Your father is here."

Cherry trembled with rage, staring at her incredulously, "You! How dare you speak to me like this?!"

Josh stared at her in silence.

Meeting her cold stare, Cherry felt an inexplicable chilling sensation, like being in a forest and suddenly making eye contact with a tiger, causing her to break out in goosebumps on her back.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say anything wrong?" Cherry fought to muster courage, remembering she was a C-grade spiritual power user, while Josh was just a little E-grade. Even though she was a growth type, it didn’t change her current E-grade status!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in her heart, "I’m your mother, and you dared to speak to me as if I’m your father! Are you rebelling?!"
