My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

Chapter 134: Two-faced Monica

“Watson’s words made me excited. He’s really a natural-born leader.” Zeke looked at Watson, who was distributing the Phoenix eggs, and the group of people who felt delighted and moved. He could not help but sigh.

Watson told the guards what glory should mean to them. As for the maids, Watson made them understand what it meant to survive. It was different for those two groups of people. It was hard to imagine that a ten-year-old child would have such knowledge.

As a businessman, Zeke would reward and mobilize his subordinates whenever he needed to improve their loyalty and morale. However, he did not think that he could do it to such an extent.

“It’s glory, not flaunting.”

Zeke took Watson’s words to heart; he would say the same thing to his subordinates the next time he needed to lecture them.

“That young fellow can certainly talk. I wonder who taught him that?” Edward looked at Watson with approval and nodded. “He sounds like me when I was young.”

Catherine, who leaned against him, rolled her eyes at him and pinched his waist. “How shameless! Watson is much more outstanding than you! In my opinion, Watson’s current achievements should have something to do with his mysterious teacher, who must have taught him those words.”

The first time Watson displayed fusion magic in front of his family, he said he had a mysterious teacher.

“Catherine, do you really think that Watson has a teacher?” Edward’s expression suddenly became serious.

During Blackmoon Castle’s progression, it had faced several major crises, including the manor’s allied forces and the bandit gangs’ destruction a few days ago. However, they had never seen Watson’s teacher, who did not even appear when Blackmoon Castle was on the brink of destruction.

Was there a teacher in the world who did not care about his students?

Watson was a rare genius; if he were to die, would his teacher not feel sad about it?

“Edward, what do you mean?” Catherine’s expression changed as she thought of something. “Do you think that Watson lied to us? That he does not have a teacher?”

“It’s just a guess. If that’s the case, then my son is pretty interesting.”

Watson was born with powerful energy and extraordinary intelligence; there was only one explanation in Edward’s mind, and that was reincarnation.

It was rumored that when some elites reached the end of their lifespan or were seriously injured and on the verge of death, they would try to use magic to peel their souls and reincarnate into another person. The Demoness Church had always wanted to resurrect the Primordial Demoness, and they would choose a host for her descent—it was a good example.

Even though he had always said that Watson took after him, it was only a joke. Edward knew that his genes did not contribute to Watson’s talents.

Watson had gone beyond the scope of excellence in his achievements for the past two days. Edward had his suspicions when Watson fused a platinum-tier magical beast.

While Edward was deep in thought, Watson had already distributed the Phoenix eggs to the maids. Finally, he realized that the person in front of him was an acquaintance; he stopped in his tracks.

“Miss Monica.”

The person in front of him was Monica. She stared at him with a conflicted expression. She did not extend her hand nor turned around to leave; instead, she said with a mocking tone, “What’s the matter, Young Master Watson? Do you not want to give me the Phoenix egg? Do you not think that I am not even a maid here?”

Monica knew that Watson was a hypocrite. He asked the maids to ensure their safety, but it looked like he only wanted people close to him to survive the onslaught. He had a grudge against her, so why would he give him the Phoenix egg?

Monica had never forgotten her father’s hatred. After Watson defeated the Wilber Liszt Manor, the guard rebelled against her. She hated them.

They would follow anyone who could give them benefits. They were not humans; they were dogs!

As a maid in Blackmoon Castle, she had tried to poison the food. Unfortunately, the head housemaid, Capella, would test the food when she delivered them to Watson and the others. So, she had no way to do it.

Monica got even angrier when she thought of Capella. That woman had been her personal maid and followed her orders. Then, she only followed Watson’s orders; she did not even look at her. Capella’s high and mighty attitude hurt her self-esteem.

Old and new grudges piled up; it made it difficult for her to maintain a good attitude.

“Miss Monica, aren’t you happy in the Blackmoon Castle?”

“Yes, I’m miserable.”

Since she had already ridiculed Watson, Monica simply laid her cards on the table. Perhaps Watson would kill her; she did not want to live such a humiliating life anyway. Even though she ate and slept well every day and did not have much work, she knew that she would be a maid for the rest of her life.

She had been a young lady from a noble family; she did not know that she was so incompetent. She was not even comparable to an ordinary maid when it came to cleaning the room. After she lost her title, she was worse than an ordinary person. She felt helpless, so she blamed Watson.

“How dare you? How can you be so disrespectful to Young Master Watson?”

Capella’s voice echoed. She walked forward quickly and glared at Monica. The fiery red wings on her back fluttered gently.

Monica ignored Capella; she pursed her lips gently.

After Watson had distributed the Phoenix eggs to the maids and gave the lowly servants the ability to protect themselves, she knew that she would never be able to take revenge. She knew that Blackmoon Castle’s rapid development was not something that someone could do even if they worked hard their entire lives. However, Watson had managed to do that in only a few months. She was not qualified to fight with such a genius.

She did not want to suffer; she preferred a quick death.

The argument attracted many people’s attention. Everyone turned their gazes toward Watson; they wanted to see what he would choose, especially Vincent, whose eyes flickered with a sigh.

“Miss Monica, I can understand your hatred toward me. After all, I killed your father, but I’m afraid I have to disagree with it,” Watson said as he raised his right hand.

Everyone thought that Watson would kill Monica, so they sighed discreetly. They felt that it was the right decision; they knew that Watson had been too merciful when he kept her alive. How could he let his enemy’s child live? Did he want to look for trouble?

Monica thought the same thing. She closed her eyes and stretched her to the side.

However...

She only felt a warm round object had been placed onto her palm.

Monica opened her eyes; she was surprised to see a Phoenix egg in her hand. She was rendered speechless. “This...”

“Monica, this is the reward for your hard work in the Blackmoon Castle the past few months! I made you a maid after your father attacked Blackmoon Castle; that was your punishment. However, I have seen your progress after you became a maid, so this is your reward. Now, we don’t owe each other anything. You can leave at any time you want.”

Watson was clear about rewards and punishments. He knew that Monica had a grudge against him, but she had done what he wanted her to do and did not cause any trouble. Therefore, he decided to let her go.

Monica grabbed the Phoenix Egg and stared at Watson in a daze. After a long while, she finally reacted and said, “Do you think you can bribe me with this to make me change my mind? My hatred for you is like the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s endless river. You’ll regret it if you don’t kill me. I’ll teach you a lesson eventually.”

After she stuffed the Phoenix egg into her mouth, Monica turned around and left.

As he watched her back, Watson had a strange look on his face. Then, he shrugged. “Miss Monica, do you mean that you don’t intend to leave? Are you threatening me?”
