The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 The Banquet

She’d rested enough. It was time to continue.

Very quickly, the next day arrived.

Scarlett began teaching Ena a few simple combat techniques.

These moves were carefully selected–specifically suited to Ena.

Using her height, combined with precise pressure–point strikes, they would maximize her advantage.

All day long, Ena trained with Scarlett–combat paired with pressure–point strikes.

By the end of the day, the results were obvious.

At first, Nelson and the other two grown men could still restrain Ena. Later on, they couldn’t hold her down at all. Instead, they’d get tapped on a pressure point and thrown clean over her shoulder.

Every time Ena aimed for a pressure point, she landed eight out of ten attempts.

Considering her targets were moving, an 80 percent success rate was already impressive.

Ena trained hard. Really hard.

She wanted to change her fate.

That day, the remaining seven guests all stayed around the school building.

Scarlett and the others still ate fish; she even went up the mountain to catch some game and traded a little with the old lady at the shop for some grain.

Food and drink weren’t an issue. It was almost peaceful.

Only Brianna and Zayden were starving.

Brianna had waited until nightfall yesterday, but Hazel never came back.

By noon the next day, Brianna couldn’t take the hunger anymore.

Thinking of Hazel, she decided to go find her.

She wandered around the town for quite a while before finally locating the house Hazel had mentioned.

The courtyard inside sounded lively. Brianna stepped forward and knocked.

After a long while, someone came to open the door.

It was a woman in her forties.

She opened the door, saw Brianna, and frowned–then said something in Drerea.

Brianna didn’t understand a word. She stammered, “M–Ma’am, I’m looking for Hazel.”

“Looking for Hazel?” the woman repeated in Dragorian this time.

The moment Brianna realized she could speak Dragorian, she nodded eagerly.

“Yes, yes! Ma’am, Hazel and I are both here filming a show in town. Yesterday, she came here looking for work, so today I wanted to ask if you still need help? Or if anyone else in town needs workers?”

“No, no.” The woman looked extremely impatient. “You filming a show is your own business. Why are you always bothering other people?”

Her tone was completely different from how she’d spoken to Hazel yesterday.

Her attitude was the polar opposite of the kindness Hazel had described.

Hazel had said this family was wonderful.

Wonderful? Are you kidding me?

Brianna couldn’t help herself. “Ma’am, then at least let me see Hazel.”

The woman barked, “Go away! You’re annoying!”

Brianna clenched her teeth.

This hag! Why is she being so rude to me?

She couldn’t help glancing into the courtyard. It happened to be lunchtime.

There were quite a few people inside. Two banquet tables had even been set up.

Hazel was sitting among them, eating. Crew members were filming in the courtyard.

Seeing Brianna still peeking in, the woman slammed the gate shut with a loud bang, cutting off her view completely.

Brianna swallowed hard and cursed the woman in her heart.

Then, she turned and left.

When she got back to the school, she complained to Zayden.

“Zayden, did Hazel forget about us? The family she went to is even hosting a banquet for her. When I asked questions, that woman’s attitude was awful–nothing like Hazel described. Zayden… I’m so hungry

Just smelling the aroma from those tables made her stomach cramp.

Scarlett let out a faint chuckle when she heard that.

Did they really think a banquet in this town was that easy to swallow?

Time passed with Scarlett occasionally correcting Ena’s combat technique.
