Chapter 153 Suspicion from Joan
Rich families, oh, no, I should say that the internal relationships of human families with more members are usually very messy. People like to promote fatherly love and filial piety, and brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, but whoever believes it will be miserable. In reality, there is often intrigue and constant fighting.

The Benson family has a complex family relationship, but strictly speaking, Joan cannot be considered a blood relative of the Benson family.

Similar to Deman, her family has served the Benson family for generations and has obtained a certain share in the family business. Although she is not related by blood, she has established a close relationship with the Benson family.

Joan has been in contact with Tabitha since she was a child. Her parents stood on Samantha's side, and Joan naturally became Samantha's person.

As an outsider who married into the Benson family, Samantha's abilities and skills are not outstanding, but she knows how to make concessions and provide support.

The most important thing is that she somehow gained the recognition of the demon. Not only did she become a demon's follower, but she also had the qualification to recommend participants for the demon's night banquet.

Even when Holman and his parents were still alive, some of the impoverished small shareholders of Benson Economics and Trade had naturally gravitated towards her.

Samantha has many contradictions, and oftentimes, Joan cannot guess her true intentions regarding some of Samantha's behavioral decisions.

But after all, the family industry is developing well. Samantha almost single-handedly made the decision to shift the focus of family development to the mysterious side, and those who followed Samantha also benefited.

According to the normal trajectory, Joan should have become Tabitha's personal assistant, but Holman's death and the issue of the inheritance rights of her illegitimate child disrupted her life trajectory.

After Holman's death, Samantha temporarily took over the family business, but some interested people from the family's side branches also brought up the issue of heirs.

Finally, considering the issue of the family's future transformation, the seemingly farcical trial of successors was put on the agenda.

On the surface, the so-called successor trial is intended to label the family heir as an adventurer in the minds of the world.

But in essence, this trial that almost delays time is more like buying time to prepare for the power struggle within the family.

Including Tabitha, the four candidates for succession are accompanied by supervisory liaisons.

These contacts are not so much about supervising several heirs as they are about liaisons between factions within the family and the heirs.

The activities of several heirs will be reported to their supporters by the contact persons, and the internal movements of the family will also be made known to the heirs through the contact persons.

Benson's business direction attempts to fully intervene in the adventurer market, and the idea of ​​an "adventurer family" has also attracted many members of the family.

This trial of succession is just one of many attempts, a farce that is better than nothing, but it also has a certain symbolic meaning.

Among the four supervisors, Joan is the contact person for Tabitha.

After Qiong's description, Mu Hua discovered that, seemingly by chance, he seemed to have destroyed the plan of a candidate for successor.

Regardless of whether Tabitha and June have any misunderstandings about him, Mu Hua actually doesn't care much about the illegitimate child named Ivy.

After all, Samantha had given him ten Origin Bullets, and his goal had never been to disrupt the illegitimate child's development plan.

As for illegitimate children, especially those who want to fight for the family property, only dead illegitimate children are good illegitimate children.

Mu Hua was only thinking about how to kill them quietly. As for the future of the family, that was Samantha's business and had nothing to do with him.

Joan used to be a school doctor at the main campus of Springer. School doctors like her did more than just treat headaches and colds.

She transplanted limbs for students who were missing arms and legs, performed organ transplants on students with organ failure, helped some students replace body parts with magical prostheses, and even performed magic core transplants.

Well, don’t think it’s an exaggeration, students in magic academies will really encounter the situations mentioned above.

Adventurers also need doctors. After all, not everyone can get life potions, and adventurers who can acquire self-healing and regeneration abilities are even rarer.

In addition to being the school doctor, Joan is also Griffiths' assistant. Perhaps it was she who introduced Mu Hua to be a professor.

Now that she has been transferred to the branch, Joan has officially started her work as a supervisor. She is very familiar with Tabitha, but the sudden appearance of Mu Hua is very different from what she had originally imagined.

A young man who was born in Lanton, never enjoyed family warmth, and struggled at the bottom of society since childhood.

How did he become so powerful that Tabitha felt ashamed of herself?

Why did Caroline praise it so highly?
How did you become the mentor of Twilight Courtyard?

It's true that Mu Hua is a professor, but no one knows better than her how he got that title. Joan always feels that Mu Hua is weird in every way. Compared with the trust that Tabitha and Samantha have in Mu Hua, Joan is quite wary of Mu Hua.

At this time, outside the observation deck, the extremely fast hovering drive pushed the steel body, and the mecha warriors holding swords left fatal marks on the magic mecha with flexible maneuvers.

The mecha warrior in charge of sniping dodged the mecha's air attack at high altitude, and the heavy sniper cannon continued to create ripples on the mecha's energy field.

An open class that was like a real-life combat exercise attracted many students. Compared to those boring and complicated magic spells, the battle between war machines in front of them was much more exciting and passionate.

"These things are so shameless." Mu Hua muttered softly as he looked at the bombardment that was as powerful as intermediate magic.

"Perhaps they will think that the magician is cheating. If this exercise were to be turned into a real combat, the energy consumed alone would probably be enough for the magician to cast high-level magic to clean the ground. If the machine is damaged again, well, well~." Tabitha was not surprised.

The human government's army was not without the ability to overthrow the courtyard masters. The main problem was that they could not afford the vehicles. If they had two vehicles, the economic system of a kingdom would probably collapse.

After all, adventurers are still environmentally friendly and affordable. . .

"Don't necromancers have constructed undead? Compared with magical combat equipment, they have a good price-performance ratio."

"And your summoned beasts, when it comes to being shameless, the summoned beasts are much worse than the magic mechas."

"Why don't you focus on studying the construction of the undead, and yet you want to study mechas?" Qiong asked from the side.

"No, I'm only interested in magical life. It's just a temporary interest, and maybe one day I won't be interested in it anymore." Mu Hua said casually.

Although the level of the Undead Summoning was stuck, Mu Hua was already able to create the Centipede Death Scythe, but that thing required a lot of resources.

Being able to play with undead derivatives, especially on the Abyss Island, there is plenty of time for the undead to practice safely. Constructing undead makes Mu Hua feel that it is not cost-effective.

"Then you'd better change your interests as soon as possible. Puppet technology involves a wider range of knowledge. Most puppeteers will never reach the level of magical life in their entire lives. It's simply a waste of time." Qiong shook his head and advised with a pessimistic look.

"Haha, maybe I'm part of that minority?" Mu Hua said jokingly, earning a roll of the eyes from Qiong.

The battle in the Valley Arena is coming to an end. Two mecha warriors have completely defeated five magic mechas. Of course, combat positioning is also a factor.

Mu Hua originally came here just to see the beautiful young lady of magical life, but it turned out that the level of this academy was too low, so he was just asked to watch some mecha battles. Compared to those students with shining eyes, Mu Hua shook his head and prepared to leave.

Very strong, especially the two mecha warriors, but their combat is still too dependent on external objects. They are intimidating enough, but their demands on logistics and financial resources are extremely demanding.

For Mu Hua, who had seen the big guys in the abyss, the magical combat preparations that conflict with magic and even blood, regardless of their upper limit, are an absolute defect in limiting the combat power of people with higher growth.

After leaving the arena, Taibesha took Qiong to the Beast Taming Department. Mu Hua looked at the sky and prepared to go back to the Dusk Villa to familiarize himself with the facilities there.

"Mu Hua, it doesn't matter who is at the Huanghun Villa, but there is a girl named Shana that you have to pay attention to." When the three of them separated, Qiong reminded Mu Hua.

"Hmm? Setsuna? The one with double S-level magic adaptability?" Mu Hua had some impression of the melancholy vampire.

"Such a high magical adaptability?" Tabitha was surprised, and even Joan showed a surprised expression. It was obvious that Joan was not clear about the properties of that moment.

"There's something wrong with that girl. Most of the lesser vampires in Dusk Villa are her followers. She has only been in the academy for a year, but she has already accepted three followers, both male and female." Joan hinted at something.

"Bite students? The school doesn't care?" Mu Hua frowned.

"The college has tried its best to stop it, but there is no coercion. Those students have even attempted suicide, and the school can't do anything about it." Joan shook her head.

"Mu Hua, are you really going to teach at the Dusk Villa? It is said that the vampires are quite evil." Taibesha seemed worried.

"I'm not interested in that Shanshan's. Actually, Olivia's is better. It has a bit of a good family feel. Haha." Mu Hua smiled and waved his hand, leaving the two women cursing behind him.

Weird? Mu Hua said that he was just mixing some life potions, at most he wanted to help vampires promote metabolism.

It's just shallow seduction and sex, and the deeper level is nothing more than love. His youth has long been gone, and now he has a stable mind. Compared with him, it's hard to say who is more evil, a vampire or not.
