MMORPG: Crowd Control

Chapter 282 Mistress Doreah

As Smither Gary continued to writhe in pain for the next few minutes, Tang Qiaolian and the rest finally got rid of the fear effect.

They rushed to Lei Zhen's side and asked if he was fine.

At the same time, the group began to cast some fear resistance just in case Smither Gary wasn't done with his violence.

Though it didn't seem to be necessary when Smither Gary looked no different than a weak man, struggling to suppress a horrific pain.

"I'm starting to like Candice even more," Griselda commented, giving an approving look toward Candice.

Tang Qiaolian and Liu Lingxin also nodded their heads in agreement.

"Candice is officially part of the girls group, even though she was already in it." Liu Lingxin smiled, giving her a thumb up.

Candice lowered her head shyly, seemingly embarrassed by the sudden acknowledgement and praises she had received.

"I-I was just doing my job… nothing special." She said in a low but subtle tone.

Meanwhile, Smither Gary finally recovered from his ball sack being brutally hit, and was in complete disarray, especially when he saw Candice reacting timidly and shy of her action.

"All of you! Leave at once before my temper flared up to an unimaginable rate." Smither Gary stood up and shouted loudly.

If it wasn't for Candice being an elf, then he would have long killed them already. Just the offense of attacking his manhood was enough reason for him, but he shall forgive her once.

Alas, who would have thought that Candice's timid expression changed into a cold and icy temper, almost as if she had been possessed.

"What gives you the gall to speak so high and mighty, Little Gary?" Candice's body floated in the air and her eyes turned bright purple.

Her transformation not only shocked the group, but Lei Zhen felt as if she was no longer the Candice he knew.

"Is she still Candice?" Lei Zhen muttered softly. There was a bit of distant feeling he was getting from her- except he couldn't pinpoint how.

Meanwhile, Smither Gary who was showing an imposing demeanor previously seemed to have turned into a little puppy, completely afraid of the current Candice.

"L-Little Gary?" Smither Gary murmured in disbelief and nearly stumbled to the ground.

"You couldn't have forgotten me even though I have disappeared for a long time, right?" Candice's voice echoed through the room in a melancholy tone.

Smither Gary swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This time, he couldn't be mistaken and understood who she was.

"It couldn't be you, right… Mistress Doreah?" He asked in an astonished tone.

"It seems like your brain hasn't hit the gutter yet, Little Gary. I'm warning you this once, but this girl, Candice possessed my inheritance and could communicate the wind. In other words, she's my successor, so don't provoke her anymore."

"S-She's your successor?"

"How else did you think she was able to unlock the formation you placed in the entrance. Other than my inheritance and knowledge, no one else would be capable of such."

"T-That's true… Mistress Doreah. I didn't really want to be disturbed like last time, so I made sure to increase the security. But I have forgotten about that matter and didn't realize it until now." Smither Gary lowered his head and explained timidly, almost as if he was the child and Doreah was the teacher.

"As long as you remember. This girl is still too weak to withstand my possession, so I'll be dormant again." Doreah seemingly said and a gust of wing shrouded Candice.

A few seconds later, Candice fell to the ground slowly, her eyes and aura returned to normal.

She touched her forehead and shrieked in pain. "Ugh, why did I suddenly have a huge migraine?"

Seeing that scene, Lei Zhen quickly retrieved a health potion for her to drink, but it wasn't enough to nullify her migraine completely.

"She was possessed by someone mythical, so it's a given that she would have a migraine. Just wait a while and her pain would subside once she circulates enough mana again." Smither Gary explained, and glanced at Candice intensely.

'Now I finally understood why I felt familiar with this girl even though I had never met her. To think she was the successor of Mistress Doreah.' Smither Gary exclaimed inwardly, feeling distressed about the matter.

Now that this revelation was made, he could no longer act in a haughty manner against Candice, especially her master. Otherwise, he feared that Doreah would reappear again and reprimanded him to the end of the world.

A few minutes later, Candice finally regained her composure as she stared at Smither Gary.

"Hmph, you are not allowed to harm my Master again. Master, we should just leave since he never wanted to assist us anyway." She suddenly said, seemingly forgotten about the previous situation.

"Candice, did you not remember what happened?" Lei Zhen asked in concern.

"What do you mean, Master? Smither Gary used a haughty manner and told us to leave, so we shouldn't beg him further."

Hearing her response, Lei Zhen turned to Tang Qiaolian and the rest in confusion. They were also in confusion as well. It was as if the matter of her being possessed remained unknown to her.

Meanwhile, Smither Gary coughed slightly and apologized to Lei Zhen. "My tone was a bit harsh, but I'm a man of my words. Since I promised to craft weapons for you, then I will do my best."

"Save it! My master isn't a person that would beg others." Candice snorted coldly.

"W-Wait a minute. I'll give you a discount and promise to craft a few more weapons for you all, okay?"

"Tsk, my Master won't fall for your tricks. Who knows if you would suddenly launch an attack again? We aren't fools to believe a person that would attack us out of nowhere!"

It was at this point that Lei Zhen could confirm that Candice had no recollection of her being possessed by Doreah. And neither does he know what kind of relationship Doreah had with Smither Gary.

The only thing he knew was that the tide had now turned into his favor.

'Heh, time to extort the crap out of Smither Gary.' Lei Zhen smirked coldly.
