My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 338: Under Professional Care

"Hey, old woman. When will your daughter come home? I’ll beat you up and tear down your hut if you lie to us."

"Can you escape the debt by hiding in this suburban village? We’ve eyes everywhere."

"Blame it on your late husband. He was so crafty to get rich instantly but lost it all. We lost quite a lot, but he committed suicide."

Several female gangsters surrounded the old lady in the living room. The old lady was terrified but could only apologize continuously and clasp her hands in prayer.

*Creak*

The door opened, and Linda walked in. However, she was surprised to find three gangsters had entered her hut, intimidating her auntie.

"You! What did you do to auntie? I already paid you last week. Why are you coming again now?" Linda rushed in and checked her aunt’s condition.

"You’ve finally come, Linda. We didn’t do anything to her. Our boss wants this month’s payment immediately. What you paid last week was just the rest of the interest on your debt." The gangster leader spoke indifferently, but she played with the military knife in her hand, stating the threat.

"How is that possible. You robbed us of all our savings. That’s more than twenty million." Linda paled, but she knew these gangsters would never let her off even though she had paid all her debts at once.

"Heeh, that’s just a small drop from your total debt. Your debt has already reached 4 billion, including interest and fines. You just came back and clearly brought money, right? Now, give it all to us or we shall destroy this hut and sell it you go to the red light district in the city." The gangster leader glanced at Linda, amused by her client’s terrified face.

"You!" Linda was furious. These gangsters may have come because they heard the news that she received a lot of money from the dealer or someone wanted her to suffer more.

As for the massive debt, she paid it in installments every month. However, she knew it would become an endless loop for the rest of her life. These gangsters must say it was all just interest, not the principal debt. She tried hard to pay it off for three years!

Just as Linda was about to cry and do something, Elysia sighed and entered the room.

She felt sorry for the Avery Family. Ali’s mother was half-falling into insanity and living under fear because of these gangsters, the ones behind the online gambling that made Ali’s father commit suicide several years ago.

"Hey, ladies. Can you put down your knives and threats behind your back? Let’s sit down and talk peacefully." Elysia sat on a wooden chair, inviting the three gangsters to sit.

"Who are you?" The gangster leader frowned, but she was surprised when she looked at the side. The elegant voice came from a handsome, dashing young master.

"My name is El, the international merchant. Please don’t cause trouble, and talk to me. Don’t scare them anymore. The young lady over there is my person. Her affairs are my matter ." Elysia beckoned to those gangsters to come closer.

"Well, you’re pretty sensible. Will you pay off all their debts?" The gangster leader sparkled with joy. It would be best for them to collect all the money at once.

"That’s four billion IDR, right? Convert it to USD." Elysia crossed her arms.

"Keke, don’t be in a hurry, handsome. How about we get to know each other better and exchange contacts first? My name is Jessie." Jessie sat next to the dashing, handsome young master, trying to seduce the superior male by leaning her body and showing her cleavage.

Unfortunately, Elysia didn’t even bat an eye at that. The world was filled with many ugliness. Even the world of monsters could be considered more honest. The monsters only slaughtered their prey to fill their stomachs. At the same time, humans’ hearts were often so dirty with malice and various other hidden intentions.

"Convert it and take out your card-swiping device now." Elysia spoke authoritatively, emphasizing she didn’t wish to hear any answer other than yes.

"Boo, you are so cold." Jessie cringed a little, but she blushed happily. She signaled her subordinate and put the device on the table.

"..." Elysia observed the debt in USD. Due to IDR inflation, the debt was only worth less than 150 thousand USD, but she rounded it up.

She didn’t think much and immediately swiped her card.

"The payment has been paid in full. Now, begone. Don’t let me see your face again." Elysia waved her hand, and the three gangsters were thrown out of the hut.

"???" The three gensters were flabbergasted. They were thrown effortlessly, but that young master only moved his hand slightly.

"Let’s leave." Jessie was scared and immediately ran away from the area.

’You let them go?’ Ai was curious because she could sense Elysia’s heart was filled with the desire to destroy that gangster.

’I’ve put a mark on them. I will make that evil organization, the real big boss, suffer enormous losses tonight.’ Elysia closed her eyes and faintly smiled.

’Wow, that’s my Lil Ely. Let’s wreck them up tonight.’ Elena was excited about the action.

’But, let’s wrap this up first.’ Elysia looked aside. Linda and Ali’s mother were already kneeling next to her.

"Thank you, thank you..." Ali’s mother expressed her gratitude over and over again.

"I will definitely pay you back, young master. I will not forget this gratitude throughout my life." Linda grasped her fist and paid her obeisance.

She then handed over the suitcase of money, but her young master returned it to her.

"Keep it. Please have a seat. Ms. Avery, there is something I want to discuss with you regarding Linda." Elysia helped Ms. Avery get up and sit in a chair.

She put a finger to Ms. Avery’s forehead, granting a clear mind to the one who had fallen to half insanity due to fear.

After that, she briefly discussed with the relieved Ms. Avery and stated her intentions clearly.

"I see... so, you will go far. We have put a lot of burden on you. You have taken care of this old lady enough. You need to find your own happiness too." Ms. Avery looked at Linda with a tender gaze, but there was a hint of regret and guilt.

"Auntie, I will visit you occasionally. North Borneo is a relatively safe place. Young master has prepared a good place for you to live in peace. You no longer need to worry about gangsters or money." Linda grasped her auntie’s hand with a slight sob.

"You met a good man. Don’t disappoint his expectations."

"Young master is so generous and powerful. I will work hard for him."

Ms. Avery and Linda talked about several things. However, Elysia just watched that from the side, feeling somewhat relieved.

’You don’t want to talk to her about something else? Her fate said she would die next year.’ Gaia tried to inquire into Elysia’s desire, but she only worried too much.

’I’ve let go of my past, but some variables want me to look for my lost origin. I will ensure Ms. Avery will live out the remaining year of her life in the best facility in this country. My life as Ali was one of my reincarnation’s mysterious trials, right?’ Elysia asked in wonder.

’Yes... you have lived and died six times on Earth in various life forms. In your life as Ali, Elena awakens. You went through countless reincarnations to regain your lost origin. Who are you really, Ely?’ Gaia couldn’t help but ask.

’I don’t know the answer either. You are the one who has a deal with that higher entity. Why was my soul thrown to Vrelenia, to this mortal body? This body is capable of containing a lot of divine power too.’ Elysia fell into deep thought.

’That’s because Alisha is a fragment of your lost origin too. She died, and your wandering soul was forced to take over by the universe’s will. Her body constitution was already good, and we have evolved it to the divine constitution, the Heavenly Elysian Body. I named it.’ Elena gave a thumbs up.

’Hmm, that’s Alisha, not me. I am Ai, Ely’s shadow guardian.’ Ai reminded everyone of that again.

’Hm, my other half. My beloved sisters~’ Elysia crouched down and stroked Ai’s hand in her shadow.

"You’d better pack up now. We’re leaving for North Borneo this afternoon." Elysia looked at the clock.

Linda and Ms. Avery immediately packed their belongings. A few minutes later, they were ready to go.

Elysia snapped her finger and arrived at an elite nursing home facility to retire in a safe zone in a city in North Borneo.

"!!!" Linda and Ms. Avery were astonished because the scenery in the living room of their dirty little hut suddenly changed to a beautiful flower garden in front of a fancy-looking building.

"Let’s go inside." Elysia led the way.

"Yes, young master." Linda gulped her saliva and nodded. She whispered to her auntie, saying her young master was a powerful esper.

Elysia completed the payment for Ms. Avery with a one-year VIP membership. Ms. Avery would be granted the best treatment and a personal caretaker who would care for the member’s every need with utmost care.

At the elite nursing home, Ms. Avery would never be alone. There were also several elderly friends there who had retired, hoping to spend the rest of their lives in peace without worrying about anything.

"We will hand over the responsibility to you." Elysia patted the two young ladies, Ms. Avery’s personal caretakers.

"Yes, yes, young master... we will carry out our duties well." The 1st caretaker nodded several times, intimidated by the dashing, handsome young man before her. A slight mistake in their duty, and they would suffer for sure.

"Please rest assured, Mister El. We will never be negligent." The 2nd caretaker saluted.

She could tell the young master before he was a wealthy big shot. He even hired two caretakers at once on a year’s contract. Their nursing home facility would care for Ms. Avery with the best treatment.

"Hum." Elysia replied with a slight nod.

She then returned to the room and spent some time with Ms. Avery.

After lunch, Elysia and Linda bid their farewell and left, leaving Ms. Avery under the professional caretakers’ care.
