Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Seven-Day Training Preparation

Seraphina Sullivan stared coldly at the bracelet Corinne Joyce offered, her gaze as sharp as a blade.

She knew all too well what accepting this bracelet meant.

It meant becoming Corinne Joyce’s Substitute Puppet, taking all her damage until death.

The Talent was certainly powerful, but it was also incredibly vicious.

"Heh..." Seraphina chuckled, her voice dripping with undisguised scorn. "No way. Do you really think a cheap bracelet can make up for what you’ve done?"

Corinne Joyce gritted her teeth.

’Just wait until I turn Seraphina into my Substitute Puppet,’ she muttered inwardly. ’I’ll make her suffer then.’

Seraphina didn’t expose Corinne Joyce’s status as a Player. Now wasn’t the time to reveal that.

But she wouldn’t forget a single score that needed to be settled.

"You know, I should thank you," Seraphina said, forcing a brilliant smile. "If you hadn’t stolen that scumbag, I never would have seen his true colors."

Corinne Joyce’s fingers tightened abruptly, the metal chain of the bracelet digging deep into her palm.

She hated Seraphina’s nonchalant attitude more than anything, as if nothing in the world mattered to her.

"You’d better not show your face in front of me again." Seraphina turned and walked toward the community gate, her voice drifting back lightly. "Otherwise... I can’t guarantee what I’ll do."

Corinne Joyce stood frozen, staring daggers at Seraphina’s retreating back, the venom in her eyes almost tangible.

Her carefully planned reunion had been shattered so casually.

And she hadn’t even achieved her goal.

"Why..." Corinne Joyce whispered through clenched teeth, her nails digging into her flesh. "Why do you always act so high and mighty!"

The rain soaked the hem of Corinne Joyce’s dress, and the bracelet left a bloody welt in her palm.

Ever since they were children, Corinne Joyce had hated how she always felt like a sidekick whenever she stood next to Seraphina.

Her grades, looks, popularity... none of it could compare to Seraphina’s. Even the boyfriend she had schemed so hard to steal couldn’t stop thinking about Seraphina.

"Since you won’t be my substitute..." A twisted smile suddenly appeared on Corinne Joyce’s face. "Then I’ll just find someone else to deal with you."

She pulled out her phone and found a number saved under "Chandler."

He was a Player she had met in the last instance, a desperado who would do anything for profit.

Besides, she had saved his life in that instance, and he had promised her a favor.

"Yeah?" The call connected, and a gruff male voice came through. "What’s up?"

"Chandler, you said last time that since I saved you, you’d do one thing for me? Does that promise still stand?" Corinne Joyce’s voice was sickeningly sweet.

There was silence on the other end, then he said, "Name it!"

"Help me get rid of someone..."

After hanging up, Corinne Joyce glanced one last time at the window of Seraphina’s apartment before turning and disappearing into the rain.

She casually tossed the bracelet into a storm drain by the road, and it was quickly washed away by the murky rainwater.

Meanwhile, Seraphina, now back home, stood at her window, thoughtfully watching the direction where Corinne Joyce had disappeared.

She knew this "old friend" all too well.

Corinne Joyce was the type who would never give up until she got what she wanted.

’Looks like I need to prepare ahead of time...’ Seraphina materialized a Silver Needle, twirling it deftly between her fingertips.

The rain outside grew heavier, the rivulets of water snaking down the glass like some ominous premonition.

’Even Corinne Joyce has become a Player. It seems there will be more and more Players entering the Disaster Game. No wonder Justin Brooks and the others are conducting a thorough population check.’

Her [Quick Sewing] Skill condensed into the Silver Needle Sword in her hand, which became a silver stream of light. Every thrust tore through the air with a sharp whistle. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
