The following days were as busy, fulfilling and peaceful as ever.
Since Chrono's death, Derila was safe, and Charles took Sloan and the others to
guard the orphanage until it reopened, before returning to Xendale.
The children of the orphanage, after more than a month of psychological counselling,
have recovered and are now back at the orphanage to start living a normal life again.
Derila would visit them every day, and seeing them Dunra into bright smiles
again, she then put her heart down and began to research William's treatment plan at
home, as well as actively developing concealed weapons and ecstasy.
As Layla had said many times before, Derila always had many taboos and did not
act on them. But after the last incident with Chrono, she realised the importance of the
matter. Although she was somewhat skilled and could usually handle a few people, she
was at her wits' end when it came to such professional killers.
Summoning wild beasts had innate conditions, and she couldn't use them at all at
ordinary times. If she didn't have other skills, it would be difficult to protect the children
in the orphanage.
Last time it was when she was stopping Anthony's bleeding that she inadvertently
discovered that the spontaneous combustion powder she had refined had worked at a
crucial moment, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Therefore, Derila had realised the importance of developing concealed weapons
and poisons.
The good thing was that these things were easy for her to do, she now has a lot of new
inventions, she just hasn't had the chance to try them out.
That day, Anthony was drinking chicken soup in his room when he suddenly heard a
loud "bang" in the backyard.
"Ms.Feroma!" Perry also ran over in a panic.
The lab was thick with smoke and a flame burning in the corner, Anthony opened the
door and tried to rush in, but was forced back by the flames.
He was so distraught that he hurriedly told Perry to call the police.
At that moment, a petite figure emerged from the lab, her face blackened, revealing only
a pair of large, clear, bright eyes and her hair standing on end.
"This marshmallow bomb is really powerful, it's a good thing I'm wearing my homemade
bulletproof vest."
Anthony looked dumbfounded, "What the h-e-l-l?"
"Ms.Feroma, you're testing the latest experiment?" Perry did hear it, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Derila let out a long sigh, "Put the water on, I need a shower."
"Yes, I'm on my way." Perry hurried to put the water on.
"Don't go in, it's poisonous in there." Derila slammed the lab door shut.
"You're contradicting yourself." Anthony understood now, "Which is more powerful,
using a concealed weapon you refined to try a bulletproof vest you made?"
"Bulletproof vest." Derila patted the bulletproof vest on her body, "It's invulnerable
to swords and guns and fire."
"I think that bomb is quite powerful too, making such a big show." Anthony followed her,
"Teach me that too when you get a chance, so I can defend myself next time I'm in
danger."
"I'll try it out first." Derila waved her hand, "This could go terribly wrong if you don't
use it properly."
"Then you should be careful." Anthony looked at her uneasily.
Derila went upstairs to take a shower and tidied herself up, taking over an hour to
get clean, looking in the mirror, her bangs in the front were burnt and curled.
The hair she had shaved during her previous operation had now grown out, and
although it was still short, it looked sharp and fresh, slightly more girl-like than bald.
She tidied herself up and was about to have some dinner and then start reading medical
books, prescriptions to study William's treatment plan. When she just lay down on the
sofa, Daemon called on the video call.
Derila answered it in a hurry, "Hi, Mr.Scoundrel."
"Can you call me a nice nickname?"
Daemon was sitting at his desk, wearing silver silk-rimmed glasses, refined and
elegant, the documents in his hands had been put down, concentrating on sipping tea
and chatting with Derila.
"This one suits you." Derila looked at him with a smile, "Are you done so early
today?"
