The Villainess Redeems Herself, The Beast Husbands are in a Daily Love Battle-Chapter 149: The Real Deal

"No wonder you top the ’Worst Female’ list every year, your strength is indeed genuine."

Selene Kane’s nails dug harshly into her palm.

This matter is not small, after all, it’s about the mental stability of the high-ranking military officials.

Although it’s not life-threateningly big, as long as she can release some spiritual power at this moment.

Even a false fluctuation could instantly dispel the doubts and save face.

But the problem is, she can’t release it at all!

Ever since having a child, her ability seemed completely drained, with no sense remaining.

Every day she tries to communicate with the system, every attempt is in vain.

"System, can you lend me the ability once more?"

She roared in her mind, her voice filled with despair.

"No, insufficient permissions."

The mechanical response was cold and ruthless.

She swallowed, her adam’s apple moving up and down.

But soon, she quickly hid her weakness, gritted her teeth, pressing all her embarrassment into the bottom of her heart.

With a twist of her lips, she showed a mocking and arrogant smile, suddenly changing her demeanor.

"Who do you think you are?"

She laughed coldly, her voice piercingly sharp.

"Look scary and still expect me to Calm you? With a face like a thug, looking ominous, are you trying to scare me to death or make me vomit?"

She looked him up and down, her gaze unapologetically frank.

Making Kael’s ears turn red, and even his neck flushed faintly.

"What are you doing?"

Kael felt a chill up his spine, his body bristling with unease.

He instinctively covered his chest, his fingers tightly gripping the front of his uniform.

His voice was slightly tense, "I’m ranked the second most handsome guy in the military, the training camp poster has been featuring me for three years without changing, stop staring at me like that, it’s really creepy!"

His attitude was quite aggressive, his hostility evident.

But even so, Selene Kane had to admit, this guy indeed looks handsome.

If the system hadn’t indicated any abnormalities, not even a red dot lit up.

Selene Kane almost thought he should be on her harem list too.

After all, that level of looks isn’t too much for her collection.

Not friendly towards me?

Then why keep him around?

Just block him.

Selene Kane leaned back in the chair, her fingers gently touching her chin.

"So why don’t you tell me, who is the top handsome guy? Don’t tell me even you don’t know this."

Kael blurted out almost immediately.

"Of course, it’s the Colonel!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it, his heart sank deeply, cursing himself internally.

What’s wrong with me?

How could I so easily be led by her nose?

She had him firmly in her grip, with barely any rationality left.

Selene Kane tilted her head, her long black hair falling smoothly over her shoulder, and she let out a cold laugh.

"You know Caleb Shaw ranked first, huh? I’ve been tired of playing with that guy for years, ever since high school gang fights together, then military academy, battlefield, celebration banquets... repeatedly being tossed around, it’s long been tiresome. You, being second, don’t even spark my interest for a second glance, at most you’re just a backup option."

"Ahem."

Caleb Shaw interrupted.

He stood upright, his gaze calmly focused on the Empress.

"Your Majesty, I swear by my life, this Female Master indeed possesses S-level spiritual power, I can attest."

He lowered his eyes, his thick lashes shading the complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

In his mind nonetheless floated that moment in the car.

Her spiritual power slowly flowed into the depths of his consciousness.

Strangely, he couldn’t help but have a slight smile on his lips.

Kael glared fiercely at Selene Kane, his gaze almost murderous, clenching his teeth, his cheeks bulged, his knuckles turned white, yet he ultimately said no more and turned away silently, retreating with gritted teeth.

Selene Kane knew well, this guy must have been instructed by someone.

Otherwise, who would have thought he’d suddenly jump out to question whether a female possesses spiritual power?

It doesn’t make sense at all.

Based on his knowledge of her, he’d at most run over to say her child didn’t resemble Caleb Shaw.

After all, they’ve known each other for so many years, those old debts and trivial gossip he’s never ceased to mention.

The Empress sat above, golden-embroidered black robes sprawling across the throne.

She supported her cheek with one hand, elbow resting on the armrest, fingertips lightly tapping her temple, her expression indifferent, as if no matter how fierce the arguments below, it had nothing to do with her.

"Since Miss Kane possesses rare S-level spiritual power, then she should naturally serve The Empire."

The Empress finally spoke.

"The researchers in the academy, all buried in experiments, their mental load is extremely heavy, some are already showing signs of mental fatigue. Your ability is just right to fill this gap, ease their pressure, you’re the best candidate."

Selene Kane internally rolled her eyes dramatically, nearly wanting to curse aloud.

You yourself are also S-level, right?

Why don’t you go?

Always busy selecting new faces to add males to your harem, one after another, afraid of lacking excitement, when it comes to serious matters you delay and push them aside.

Now you suddenly think of the merits of sharing spiritual power?

But she didn’t dare say this aloud.

After all, the other party is the supreme Empress, ruling over the realm.

And she is just an ordinary person, still trying to make a living, getting by in this Aethelgard.

Can’t afford to offend, truly can’t afford it.

"Actually..."

Selene Kane looked at the Empress seriously, with a touch of solemnity in her eyes.

"My greatest pleasure is beating males. Especially those guys who look all serious and are actually full of themselves."

She paused, a cold smile arcing her lips.

"The harsher the better, beating them until they beg for mercy and search for their teeth on the ground is when I truly feel pleased."

"Honestly, I’m quite worried I might lose control someday, and won’t hold back."

She continued sincerely.

"If I’m not careful and disable the Empire’s smartest scientist, it would be a major national loss."

"For the sake of the technological development and future fate of The Empire, I shouldn’t take this job."

The Empress chuckled lightly at this, a smile spreading from her lips to her eyes.

"That’s quite a novel reason."

She spoke slowly, her voice clear and tinged with a hint of amusement.

"I’ve never heard of someone refusing a position due to fear of violence."

Then, she slightly raised her finger, pointing towards the direction of the hall’s arch.

Everyone’s gaze followed her gesture looking that way.

They saw a male in a white lab coat walking steadily forward.

His steps were steady, his figure lean, his collar neat.

His complexion was pale, almost white, clearly the result of spending long periods in a closed-off laboratory, rarely exposed to sunlight.

Behind the lenses, his eyes were composed and rational, seemingly uninterested in the surroundings.

As he passed by Selene Kane, his steps hardly paused.

Yet in that instant, the corner of his eye barely twitched.

The tense lines of his face briefly relaxed.

Seemingly recognizing something, or feeling some kind of threat.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions, returning to normal.

He walked up to the Empress, kneeling on one knee.

"Your Majesty."
