My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 352: Chosen Agent’s Awakening

Elysia sensed Maya’s anxiety, and that was why she decided to handle everything straight to the biggest secret backer of Asia’s underworld society.

’Nee, Ely. That bunny girl isn’t that person, right? They shared a similar name. Is that just a coincidence?’ Elena recalled the 16th Rank Cosmic Phantom Lady that Elysia killed about two weeks ago.

’That corrupted immortal lady’s true name is Maia. And this bunny girl’s name is Maya. This girl also possessed an unawakened fragment of darkness-related power. There are many transmigrators and reincarnators on Earth. Gaia, what do you think?’ Ai also started to get a little suspicious.

She felt Elysia’s intentions and actions also originated from similar reasons.

’Maia? Who is it?’ Gaia wondered who the person in question was.

’Hmm...’ Elysia stopped in her tracks, floating in the void. She also wondered why she appointed Maya as her secret agent and 3rd hero, not Nina or someone else.

It was a spontaneous decision. She felt Maya was the right person for the job because Maya’s unawakened ability would do well to keep the underworld society in check.

’They are different people. It was just a coincidence for them to share a similar name. Maia possessed greater evil, corruption, and darkness within her soul. We cleansed her. It will take several eons before she can leave the hell of the higher realms and be reborn.’ Elysia shook her head and emerged to the outside world. She sat on the sofa, watching her secret agent walking back and forth.

"My secret agent, you look restless. Is there something bothering you?" Elysia brewed warm herbal tea and greeted her agent in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, young master. I found Boss Zed is planning something big to get back at you. I must inform you immediately, but I must think of a way. Young master claimed me as my new owner yesterday. So, troubles will knock on my door soon." Maya responded spontaneously but was immediately stunned when she realized what had happened.

She heard Young Master Yorva’s question, and she answered. However, she was the only one in the room!

Maya jumped towards the exit reflexively like an agile rabbit out of caution, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was indeed her young master. "Young master, you surprised me."

"Haha, is that so? Why did your tone suddenly become tender? You could have run away and escaped with the money I gave you. You could have lived in luxury for the rest of your life, too." Elysia closed her eyes, removing her aura as she tried to question Maya’s stance without pressure.

"Young master, you are truly heartless. You claimed me as yours that night. Grandmaster has abandoned me, and Boss Zed will soon capture me. I have nowhere to go. As for the money, I don’t know whether I can survive until tomorrow." Maya was pretty desperate. She sat on the floor near her young master’s legs, looking up with a pitiful expression.

"Hmm? You say it as if I’m a villain. I’m going to employ you, and you will work for me. I want to see who wants to get in my way." Elysia put her hand to Maya’s chin and looked her agent straight in the eye.

"Young master... uhm, I want to convey important information to you. It’s regarding Boss Zed." Maya blushed, but she had something important to say.

"Who is your boss now?" Elysia brought her face closer.

"That, that’s you. Young Master Boss Yorva." Maya stuttered a bit. She tried to refrain herself, but her young master’s charming face was so close to her.

She closed her eyes, blushing so fiercely that her ears turned red too, worried that she would faint soon.

"Since you have recognized me as your master, nobody can touch you, let alone harm you. Please have a seat and let’s talk." Elysia let go of the bashful girl’s chin with a satisfied smile.

It took a few seconds for Maya to regain her composure. After her young master asked her again, she immediately sat on the nearby sofa and explained the situation.

Zed the Thunderbolt gathered several ’unlaw’ espers and gang leaders from other regions. They would work together to teach the big troublemaker in Southeast Asia a lesson.

On top of that, they also asked for reinforcements from the mainland to deal with the threat known as Yorva Ther, the mysterious expert.

"Oh, so it’s like that. You don’t need to worry. The continental big boss is smart, but why do his people want to dig their graves... Here’s for you. Always wear this for safety. Everything will be handled in a few hours." Elysia handed over a silver necklace to Maya.

"I’m at ease if you say that, young master. But, they will capture me soon to lure you out. What should I do?" Maya received the necklace and immediately wore it around her neck, hidden behind her neckband.

"Why would they target you when I’m already here?" Elysia smiled in amusement.

"They, they... everyone thinks you desire me and will come for me. So, I need your instructions." Maya stuttered, knowing she could only hug her new master’s thighs tightly for her safety.

"Maya, you shall regain your freedom. Do what you need to do. I need to reform the underworld society under proper laws and orders. You are not just a pretty flower vase but an inspector who will be feared by the entire society. Awaken." Elysia pointed her index finger at Maya’s chest, prompting the unawakened talent to appear.

"!!!" Maya felt like she had been shot in the chest, but she felt no pain. Instead, she felt warm in her chest, and her heart was beating fast.

She wondered about what her young master had just done, but she then interpreted it as something more profound.

"Well then. That’s all from me here. Show me your new power." Elysia offered Maya a cup of hot tea, then disappeared like a fog.

"Eh-huh? Young master?" Maya looked around, surprised because she couldn’t see her young master anymore.

"I’ll still be around to watch how things will unfold. It would be best if you discovered your newly awakened ability, Maya. Also, please enjoy the tea." Elysia then vanished for real, wishing to watch the show in a more suitable place.

"Maya, thanks, master." Maya bowed respectfully, full of gratitude. She didn’t know for sure, but she knew her master had just bestowed a gift upon her, a priceless one.

Since she was young, she was groomed to become a high-class courtesan and honey trap lady for the rich, but she could change her fate today. She wasn’t just the weak girl with nothing but a pretty appearance now. Her young master gifted her power, but she still had no idea what superpower her young master bestowed upon her.

"..." Maya glanced at the cup of tea on the table and took it. She considered several things before taking a little sip. Yet, she fell into the imaginary dreamworld of serenity and profound inner peace.

"Ahh~" Maya sighed in satisfaction after enjoying her tea.

A few moments later, she smiled gently as she began to think about nothing but her young master’s kindness.

*Bam!*

The door was forced open, and several large men broke in.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to offend Young Master Yorva to be beaten like Sir Zed?" Maya tried her best to calm herself down.

"I’m sorry, lass. But you need to come with us." The nearby hitman stretched his arms, ready to face any resistance from this sexy bunny girl.

"May I know what Grandmaster Chuai said about this? Where is he now? Can I talk to him?" Maya sighed sadly, but she was concerned with her caretaker, who looked after her for years.

"Keke, he won’t be able to protect you. You are just an investment tool in his eyes. You are so unlucky to get the favor of the most hated person in Southeast Asia underworld society. Come with us. I advise you not to fight back, or you will get hurt." Another hitman played with his penknife.

"Lead the way." Maya put up no resistance, knowing these thugs were there just to catch and detain her.

As for the following scene, where these people would do something to her to lure her young master out, was something she had to prepare.

"Huh?"

The surrounding men wondered in astonishment. They had no idea why their pretty target could remain calm even though she knew her predicament.

Regardless, they were there to catch her and detain her. As for the rest, that was the business of the underworld’s big bosses.

---

In an underground dungeon, Maya was detained. She still put up no resistance, but she stared with blatant disgust at the surrounding thugs because they occasionally groped her body when they chained her. "I will make sure you will suffer someday."

"Shut up, btch. Countless men have groped your body. Who knows how many men you’ve slept with." The fierce hitman slapped Maya out of annoyance.

He then grabbed her hair and spoke close to her face. "I don’t mind having fun with you, but unfortunately, Boss Zed has other plans for you. You are truly unlucky. It’s a shame to waste such a beautiful bunny girl."

"Ptui." Maya spat in the fierce hitman’s face.

"You, goddamn btch!" The fierce hitman burst into fury. He was about to do something vicious, but someone patted him from behind.

"Give it up. We need to leave. The big bosses will be here soon. The trap has been prepared, and reinforcements from the mainland will arrive soon. We’ll see whether that man will show up for his woman or not. Who knows what will await you after this, girl. Don’t blame us, but that mysterious expert that favored you." The bald hitman signaled his comrades to leave.

"Tch. Count that on your luck." The fierce hitman clicked his tongue before walking away.

"Dead meat..." Maya muttered under her breath. She still thought everything was still based on her young master’s plan and scenario. Therefore, she could remain calm.

"I don’t know what happened, but it seems like our fate is not much different, Maya. So, are we going to die?"

A lady spoke in a hoarse voice from the next cell.

"Uh? Ni, Nina!?" Maya looked aside and paled in shock when she found her fellow sister covered in bruises and blood.

She tried her best to look for Nina everywhere but couldn’t find any news. After a day passed, she gave up and thought Nina was no more, considering the cruelty of underworld society.

However, who would have thought that Nina would be locked up in the remote underground dungeon...
