Who hid My Corpse!

Phinis said coldly, "Has your brain been burned by a tumor? What does your deal with him have to do with me? Why should I stop it? I advise you to think carefully before you speak."

"Think carefully? I've thought it through too clearly, Mr. Phinis." Molly said, "Mr. Phinis, you knew that this dead fat pig has been pressuring me all along, and not only did you not stop him, but you've also approached me privately several times, telling me I must consider the greater picture for the Orchestra, what do you mean by that?"

"I just don't want your relationship with Karen to affect the Orchestra."

Molly laughed.

It was the first time Hewinia had seen her smile like that.

A manic, reckless smile.

"Mr. Phinis, do you think everyone else in this world is a brainless fool except for you?" Molly said, "Do you truly believe that no one can guess what you're thinking?"

"What I'm thinking, someone like you couldn't possibly know," Phinis's eyes were filled with threat, "but if you keep spouting nonsense like this, I'll make you understand the consequences."

"... Consequences?" Molly laughed even more wildly, "My life is already ruined, and there's hardly anyone left in my family, do you think I'll be afraid of your threats? Ah..."

She looked towards Hewinia.

"Miss Hewinia, do you know? That dead fat pig never really had his eye on me, it was always you, you were the one he was truly interested in. He's been planning to use quitting the Orchestra to coerce you the final week of rehearsal, just before the festival begins when it's too late to replace anyone."

"From the beginning, he didn't care about the festival's rewards nor did he want revenge against the Chuke family. All of it was just a disguise and a pretext; what he wants is to destroy everyone he wishes to destroy!"

Upon hearing this, Karen, who had been watching the show with amusement and wasn't bothered by being called a dead fat pig, finally started to restrain his smile a little, and his gaze became dangerous.

"By that time, if he quits, the Orchestra will certainly fail, because no one could possibly take his place. So he can use this excuse to manipulate everyone, even if you disagree, it won't matter; he can ask Mr. Phinis for help, and do to you what was done to me. If you don't comply, they have ways to threaten you with your family, with your personal life, and if none of that works, they will resort to drugs..."

"Enough!" An angry Phinis raised his Magic Wand and cast a Wind Blade towards her.

Molly had no time to dodge.

But Hewinia also pulled out her Magic Wand and with a casual wave, scattered Phinis's Wind Blade.

Phinis was stunned, he looked at Hewinia, but she had her back to him, hiding her expression from him.

"Go on." Hewinia said calmly, "What else does he plan to do?"

Molly could feel that Phinis's Wind Blade had been aimed at her vitals.

Phinis wanted to kill her.

This realization made Molly even more hysterical, she took out a gray Crystal Bottle from her pocket and shook it in front of Hewinia.

"This drug was given to me by that dead fat pig." Molly said, "He knows our relationship is good and asked me to find an opportunity to drug you."

Hewinia looked at the medicine bottle in Molly's hand: "It seems you agreed."

"Yes." Molly did not deny it and instead said quite straightforwardly, "Of course, I didn't refuse, but Hewinia, you probably won't ask why, right? I've never considered you as a friend, just as you've never considered someone like me as a friend."

Hewinia was silent for a while, then nodded: "Indeed."

"I always knew, I always knew, you're smarter than all of them."

"... But I still don't quite understand." Hewinia said, "What's the point of you revealing all this now? Aren't you afraid they'll retaliate against you?"

"Retaliate against me? Haha... how could they possibly retaliate against me?" Molly laughed even harder, "They're all such self-righteous people, especially Phinis. Hewinia, do you know the most important reason Phinis selects Orchestra members? Is it talent? No, no, it's not. His first choice is those he thinks he can control. For example, those with families, with relatives, and especially those that the Lawrence Family can easily find."

"That way he can use family members to threaten them. I assume it's the same for the others present."

"But what he doesn't know is that I discovered this early on, so I disguised myself as someone with a family, with attachments, and indeed received his invitation."

"But what he doesn't know, my family has long since perished, I snuck in here, and I owe a huge debt. If I can't graduate from the academy smoothly, my whole life will be over, haha, it will be over." Molly's eyes were glinting with tears, "So, my life is already destroyed, completely destroyed, without the identity of a Player, I have nothing left."

"With nothing to lose, why would I fear you?"
