The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Emilia didn't give the other guy any time to gather his bearings, and swiftly capitalized on his momentary distraction to sink her foot into his belly 'as hard as she could'. Unfortunately, the pain failed to knock him out instantly, and the man only stumbled back while cursing.

"You bitch—!"

The rest of them could only watch with bated breath as the little girl entered into a furious skirmish of punches and kicks with the much taller man, and despite her obvious disadvantage of height, quickly started suppressing him through sheer speed.

The fight was quite messy, and not to mention the combatants, even the 'bystanders' ended up on the receiving end of quite a few punches and kicks.

Of course, this was no accident, and Emilia was quite happy to reduce the number of people she had to prevent from escaping by almost half in advance.

The gangsters were furious and panicking for a while, and many tried to avoid getting hit as best as they could while some tried to catch and hit the girl to no avail.

The curses and abuses continued getting worse, and for the staff who believed it was all acting, it was an eye-opening experience.

It was impossible for rookie actors to be so 'natural' at action scenes, especially when performing at such high intensity, and they would have to be stupid not to realize that something was amiss by now.

Clearly, even if these thugs had been acting as per whatever 'agreement' they had reached with the higher-ups, they had long since lost their sense of propriety. If any of those punches and kicks landed on little Emi, the outcome would definitely be terrible.

After all, even if she appeared to be tough and good at combat now, her physique definitely couldn't take a beating from an adult.

"S-Should we stop the shooting?"

"No wait, if we recklessly interfere now, wouldn't the chances of there being an accident be even higher?" f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

They could only lament at the fact that none of them had any weapons thanks to Carmen's strict laws against foreigners, and the deterrence that their limited strength would have against these rowdy 'actors' was almost zero.

Little Emi's manager had many of the same concerns, but Penny quickly helped alleviate some of her doubts.

"Don't worry, even if those idiots occasionally fail to control themselves appropriately, our little Emi isn't some porcelain doll unable to defend herself." She smiled. "The training she's gone through is the same as that of our princess, after all."

The manager blinked in surprise before nodding in realization. "No wonder… I did feel that her moves were a little familiar—!"

She'd also obsessively watched many of princess Emilia's videos from the days of her rebellion against the government of Blue Dawn, and little Emi's movements had much of the same grace and speed. If little Emi received the same training as the princess had at some point, it all made sense.

She wasn't sure if it was because of her connection with Crystal, who was quite close to the princess, or because of little Emi's talents attracting the right people, but that didn't really matter.

After all, regardless of the reasons she first caught sight of the princess, little Emi must now have a lot of weight in Emilia's heart for her to be able to receive such favorable treatment.

The manager inexplicably felt that although little Emi was naughty and rebellious, she would definitely not break the trust of her princess.

With renewed confidence, the manager quickly started redirecting the camera crew to get better shots and angles, and also cleared away many of their doubts.

Had she known she had been once again swindled by Penny, the manager would definitely have tried to strangle the girl with her own absurdly long ponytail. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Of course, considering that Emilia and little Emi were one and the same, Penny's words couldn't really be considered a lie, and the blonde girl didn't feel guilty at all.

Meanwhile, Emilia's 'fight' with the leftover viper also ended anti-climatically with the man's face slamming into the ground, unconscious after a ruthless kick to his temple.

Although she did her best to look composed, some of the gangsters could clearly see that the girl had consumed most of her strength in the fight, and would definitely not be able to continue showing the same intensity now.

Of course, this was just what Emilia wanted them to believe. In reality, it was impossible for her to be tired after such light exercise.

The buff man who had 'scared' the little girl at the start snorted. "Stand back, y'all. I'll do it."

A few of them couldn't help but secretly curse at him beneath their breath, but none dared to speak out. After all, Cobra was notorious not only for his absurd strength, but also for being absolutely ruthless against friend and foe alike.

Now that the little girl was somewhat tired and couldn't display that initial level of shocking speed, the strongest of their eight 'super weapons' could easily make up for his greatest weakness.

With his horrifying level of strength, many of them speculated that even children from the Nightingale clan wouldn't be able to beat him in a fair fight without their fancy combat moves, and that was without Cobra using any of his drugs.

It was a pity that such valuable merchandise would be ruined by the man now and lose all her value. Some people would surely have paid handsomely if the girl's appearance and talents were properly displayed.

But there was nothing they could do about it now, after all.

The only one who could restrain him with the threat of money and benefits was their boss, but the man was currently still in the dreamland after being knocked out.

Contrary to the despair that the gangsters thought she must be feeling, however, Emilia was actually in quite a good mood. 'This guy is really quite cooperative, isn't he?'

Maybe if not for Cobra's help, she might have had to jump through quite a few more hoops to convince all the gangsters to not run away after a few of them finished receiving their beat down.

She grinned. 'As a reward, I'll give him the strongest kick of the day!'
