When Levi saw Miranda again.
She had changed her clothes.
She was no longer wearing that feathered sweater, but had changed into an evening gown, perfectly showcasing her mature charm.
She had also put on a little makeup and styled her long hair, looking like a noblewoman.
Ada Wong scoffed as soon as she saw this, "She wants to steal your heart."
Levi glanced at her and said, amused, "She's not as beautiful as you."
"Hmph."
Then, he stood up and shook hands with Miranda.
"Esteemed Mr. Levi, I have asked my residents to come and meet you."
Miranda said with a smile.
"Alright."
Levi nodded.
The made-up Miranda was radiant; her features were originally quite gentle.
If it weren't for her obsession, she could have done so much more.
But it was precisely because she wanted to resurrect her daughter, who had been dead for nearly a hundred years, that she became this deeply obsessed version of herself.
It was also due to a century of various research that her skill level reached a very high point.
Levi hoped she would use it for good.
Of course, it was also mainly due to the checks and balances of this World.
He couldn't fully trust Excella alone.
Power needs checks and balances.
Levi and Miranda chatted continuously.
Soon, a small doll walked in.
"Wow, why are there other people here?"
The doll's style was eerie, like 'Annabelle' from the horror movies Levi had watched before.
It was even more frightening than Annabelle.
This was Donna Beneviento, one of Miranda's Four Lords.
She was the last member of the Beneviento family; after her parents passed away, she became like this.
She was a puppeteer, and the doll appearing here was Angie, whom she controlled.
And she herself always wore black clothes reminiscent of mourning attire.
After the doll entered, she herself also walked in, looking very withdrawn.
"Donna, this is Mr. Levi."
Mother Miranda said with a smile, seeming to be in a very good mood.
She was already prepared to cooperate with Levi.
Because the resources of this village were too scarce.
To complete the experiment, a continuous supply of resources was naturally needed.
And Levi also needed other resources.
The two could be said to have hit it off instantly.
Donna came in and glanced at Levi.
She wore a black veil over her head, covering much of her face.
But Levi's gaze passed directly through, seeing an astonishingly deformed scar on Donna's face.
It was precisely because of this condition that she suffered from mental illness.
And in such a backward place, treatment was naturally impossible.
So Miranda adopted her as a foster daughter and gave her 'gifts'.
Which was to conduct experiments.
These 'gifts', which gave them extraordinary power, were actually derived from researching the Cadou.
All Four Lords had 'gifts', thus appearing different from mortals.
Donna shared a part of her 'gift' with the doll Angie, allowing her to control it at will and even chat.
"Mother, who are they?"
Donna immediately asked, controlling the doll Angie.
This doll named Angie was even more terrifying than Annabelle, dressed like a bride, but extremely frightening.
Speaking now, it appeared even more sinister.
Ada Wong even felt a little uncomfortable.
"They are our friends."
Miranda explained.
"Mr. Levi."
So, Donna controlled Angie and said.
"Donna, hello."
Levi replied.
"Please call me Angie."
The doll Angie stared at him and said, while Donna sat in her seat, head bowed and motionless.
It seemed she was fully concentrating on controlling the doll.
"Okay, Angie."
After that, Donna became very quiet.
She just sat there, holding her doll, listening to them chat.
Soon, another 'huge' figure arrived.
Levi looked over curiously.
This was an extremely mature woman with a voluptuous and tall figure, seemingly twice as tall as a normal person.
Her complexion was pale, she had long black hair, wore red lipstick, a white evening gown, and a wide-brimmed hat.
She looked even more like a noblewoman than Mother Miranda.
"This is Alcina Dimitrescu."
Mother Miranda introduced.
Levi naturally knew that this was 'Lady Eight Feet', the mistress of the Dimitrescu family.
"Mother, who is this gentleman?"
Lady Eight Feet looked at Levi and Ada Wong curiously.
She could naturally tell that Levi, the man, was the dominant one.
She had some disdain for men, so she asked.
Mother Miranda immediately said, "This is Mr. Levi; you must respect him as you respect me."
"Yes."
"Alright."
Both replied.
Then, Mother Miranda said irritably, "Why haven't the other two idiots arrived yet?"
Lady Eight Feet laughed indifferently, "Salvatore must live far away, so he's slow to arrive."
"Karl Heisenberg..."
Hearing her words, Mother Miranda was very angry.
Salvatore Moreau looked like a merman; because he was very ugly, although he was loyal to Mother Miranda.
But Mother Miranda didn't like him, so she made him live in the reservoir, out of sight, out of mind.
Of course, his loyalty was unquestionable; he always just wanted to gain Miranda's approval.
As for Karl Heisenberg, he had ambitions and wanted to defy Miranda.
He was also the most dangerous existence among the Four Lords, secretly wanting to overthrow Miranda.
Miranda actually knew this long ago, but she didn't care; the other party's strength was all 'gifts' she bestowed, so what was there to worry about?
Facts proved this to be true.
Then, Salvatore Moreau arrived.
After a long while, Karl Heisenberg finally arrived.
He seemed to be doing it on purpose.
As soon as he came in, he even started arguing with Lady Eight Feet.
Lady Eight Feet sneered, "Mother, he deliberately came so late."
"Yes, I'm just dying to see your three daughters."
"Damn it, you bastard!"
"..."
The two immediately started arguing.
"Enough!"
Mother Miranda reprimanded.
"In front of Mr. Levi, who told you to be so arrogant."
Hearing this, Karl Heisenberg looked at Levi and Ada Wong, who were seated at the head.
Ada Wong sat with her legs crossed, watching these backward barbarians as if watching a play.
Karl Heisenberg was dressed very retro, wearing a hat and carrying a giant hammer.
"Mother, who are they?"
He asked curiously.
"This is Mr. Levi, whom you must respect."
Mother Miranda said.
"Respect? Why should I respect him?"
Karl Heisenberg deliberately acted like a reckless brute.
He was challenging Miranda's authority.
This made Miranda a little angry, and she immediately stood up, "It seems my benevolence has made you disobedient."
At this moment, Miranda was not wearing the clothes symbolizing authority, but she still made them afraid.
