Chapter 2

1

It was already clear who Mona's boss was – Song Yeh, a woman who could still produce youth idol dramas after a hundred years of being in the industry. Eighty years ago, she was given the title of "National Little Sister" in that era, but in this country, where there were only fifty million people, everything was labeled "National XX," so it was easy to become a national something or other.

In this place, the most sought-after profession by the general public was being an artist. Those who didn't have the ability would want to become their assistants instead. The more popular the artist, the more they would have no worries about food and drink. Only those who couldn't become either of these two types of people would choose other professions. Mona's school specialized in training these two types of people. The fact that Mona, a freshman, could intern as Song Yeh's assistant was a huge source of pride for the school. Additionally, assistants would also work part-time as body doubles for artists, so the assistants and their masters would have similar body shapes, but there was clearly a gap between Mona and Song Yeh.

"The patient's physical condition is good, with no problems in the bones and organs. So the reason why the patient cannot move freely is because of the foreign object in the left abdomen. However, since no instrument or X-ray magic can see through it, this is quite troublesome."

I lay on the bed and allowed the three doctors to examine me. After all the fuss, this was the conclusion they came to.

"All the expert doctors on Ponto Island have examined the patient in these few days, but none of the therapists have a foolproof solution. Otherwise, let's give it a try. Although forcibly removing it is very risky, it's too much of a pity for the patient to live like this for the rest of their life."

The other two doctors also agreed with his opinion. From a doctor's perspective, if I didn't undergo this high-risk surgery, it would mean ruining my whole life.

"Doctors, please think of another solution. I believe there must be a better way!" Mona deeply bowed, her urgent request leaving the doctors hesitant.

"Fine, give us some more time to contact overseas therapists and doctors. Maybe they will have a solution. But for now, the most critical thing is to determine what this 'foreign object' actually is. We'll decide on that when we come next time."

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Mona bid farewell to the three doctors, her face still showing fatigue and exhaustion. It was unclear what this seemingly ordinary woman was hiding in her heart.

"These doctors must be very expensive."

"It's alright, the boss has already paid for their six-month treatment fees."

"What a waste of money." I lay on the bed, looking at the wooden chandelier in front of me, speaking from my heart.

"A waste? Do you want to give up? You're still young, you know?"

"I know how old I am. I understand that, but I really don't need to spend this money. I have a way myself."

I already figured it out while showering. Judging from the shape of the wound, it was a part of a dragon's tooth. The dragon had bitten off its own teeth and wrapped it in its own magic, maintaining such a strong power when passing through the portal. At the same time, it sealed off my magic. The solution was actually quite simple – just pull it out directly. But this was only because I was familiar with this broken dragon tooth. The doctors and therapists were so cautious and fearful because of their fear of the unknown.

Even so, I decided not to pull out the dragon tooth for now. The main reason was that during the moment of pulling it out, there would be visions. On one hand, it would be a concentrated burst of my magic, and on the other hand, it would be the release of the residual energy of the dragon tooth. I was a member of the "Raku" organization in Lanhann, and it would attract unwanted attention in minutes.

"What solution do you have in mind? You don't even remember your own name."

"I... I remember."

Mona gulped down some water and choked when she suddenly heard that I remembered.

"Cough, do you remember? Why didn't you say it earlier? You should have told the doctor just now," Mona thought for a moment and picked up her phone.

"No, the doctor should be informed," she said.

"No need, I remember this one thing," I replied.

"What is your name then? With a name, we can find out a lot about you, like where you're from, who's in your family, etc."

I pondered for a moment and said a name that no one could find no matter how they searched.

"Reisgolo!"

"Are you really surnamed Lei or Reis?"

"Reisgolo is my full name, no surname."

"Um... What country is that name from? But it's fine, I will help you find your family, don't worry." Mona sat next to me, embracing my head like an older sister. She sincerely comforted me, making me feel much more at ease. Even though Mona had only known her for half a day, she was a genuinely kind person, with some scars in her heart but didn't inflict them on others.

The next morning, Mona took me to see the city. As soon as we left the room, I could tell that this city was very different from Othrie. It was always quiet here.

"Why is Mound Island so quiet?"

"Because people here don't like staying up all night."

A city that doesn't like staying up all night? It's rare to hear about such a city anywhere in the world. It's also difficult to guarantee that everyone refrains from staying up all night.

Sitting in the floating wheelchair, the scenery I saw was different from usual. The slightly lower perspective gave a sense of inexplicable oppression, and the way others looked at me was also different.

"Mona, why are you able to take care of me as an assistant? Where is your boss? You should be by her side at a time like this."

"A boss who has been in the spotlight for a hundred years doesn't really need an assistant who is too close to her. And these few days, she's been participating in a reality show, so the organizers don't allow any assistants to accompany her."

"Oh? She has been in the spotlight for a hundred years and isn't arrogant, that's good. Do others also respect the organizers like that?"

"Our country's artists have good morals, they are not to be compared with artists from countries like Othrie."

"Did I mention Othrie?"

I was at a loss. The Othrie Empire didn't have a good reputation among the Five Nations, but it didn't feel right for a commoner like me, a duke's son, to talk about it. If it were Black Qin Yang, she would make them regret it immediately. White Qin Yang would have to rectify their thoughts in a righteous manner. As for me, I had to endure it. I couldn't be too conspicuous here.

"Did you not?"

"In that case, when should I thank her? When will she come?"

"In two days, after the shoot ends, the boss will be preparing for the 'Rising Art Award'. She is both a presenter and a nominee this year."

Mona took me into a supermarket. She seemed very adept at selecting items, carefully and reliably going through all the information without missing a word. But she read quickly and chose quickly.

"Excuse me, could you help me with this?" Mona was petite, with a slight build, and it was a bit difficult for her to maneuver through the mountains of shelves in the supermarket.

"Mona." After leaving the supermarket, Mona placed all the items behind the wheelchair, but we ran into a group of people just as we stepped out.

Mona's eyes wandered, biting her lower lip.

"Hello, East Brother."

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see us? It's been two months since the company assigned you a new apartment. You haven't invited us colleagues to get together."

"Yeah, Senior Sister, I heard the apartment is quite nice. We all want to see it," said one of the five people, two men and one woman, who seemed quite arrogant. The two women behind them appeared more reserved.

"Oh, how about today? The company is on holiday, so I have some free time." Dongge looked like he had the authority to make decisions.

"Well... that might work, but today I..." Menna wanted to refuse, but she couldn't come up with a reason to reject, so she looked at me. But what can I do? I have to refuse by myself.

"You guys are..."

"Are you the person who came back as the boss? Hello, I'm Cui Dong, the manager of Dianhong Entertainment." "Manager" sounds powerful! Is it for Li Yihe?" I pointed to the giant poster of Li Yihe behind. Her portrait was on it.

"Oh, no, no. That's our boss. I dare not be her manager. That's the work of our eldest sister. I'm the manager of the artists under the company, like Li Xuren, Lin Hao, and others."

I didn't recognize the two people Dongge mentioned, but I pretended to know and understand.

"Weren't you suffering from amnesia? How did you know?"

"Well..." I must have had three lines on my head now. Is Menna trying to sabotage me?

"So you're suffering from amnesia. Then there's no need to force it. Since Menna, you have no problem, we'll visit tonight." Dongge didn't give her any chance to refuse, and left with a group of people.

"Dongge, where are we going to play..."

I leaned on the wheelchair and saw his back. He felt a bit hypocritical, his words were not wrong, but his expressions and actions made him seem like a "bad guy."

"I think he's a 'bad guy'."

"He's just scum."

Huh? Why does this statement sound so off? Menna's expression was full of hatred, and she lost control for a moment.

"He... Is he your ex-boyfriend?"

"No."

But Menna's facial expression was affirmative, which made the words of the neighbor uncle make sense.

"What about the woman next door?"

"Don't ask."

On the other side of Pang Island, in front of the diplomatic palace where the Gods were stationed, Elena and Li Liu bid farewell side by side at the door.

Li Liu walked alone, pulling her suitcase and continuing her search in this unfamiliar city. She believed that this was the place with the greatest opportunity, where the direction of the ocean currents and the time were all in her favor. However, until now, she couldn't sense the person she most wanted to feel in her heart.

Suddenly, Li Liu's eyes locked onto a figure in the dark alley on the left, the figure itself was not a problem, but the problem was the mask worn by the figure.

Two seconds later, the figure left, but not Li Liu's eyes.

Li Liu followed behind the figure, keeping a distance of five kilometers. The figure didn't notice, and he kept wandering in the city. The more he wandered, the more Li Liu noticed more people wearing masks. Eventually, she realized that these people were not a team; at least five different groups were wandering in the city.

Li Liu stopped behind a wall, and there were two mask-wearing individuals in front of her.

"I'm exhausted. There are so many islands in this city, and we haven't found a single one. When will we finish searching all the islands in this sea?" "It's because the Radiant team suffered heavy casualties. Those Sub-god level ones can be found with a glance."

"It's all because the mission was rushed; otherwise, we could have prepared the Magic Traces."

"Save it. The Five Kingdoms are not united, they won't let us see their countries."
