Chapter 461: Seventy-Five Self-Destruct
Actually, before Molly took off her clothes, everyone present had already vaguely guessed what the situation was.
But when she really took off her clothes and exposed that conspicuous tumor in front of everyone, it still made them gasp.
The only one who felt happy was Karen. He stroked his greasy chin while chuckling, "Didn't expect I'd hit the jackpot, huh? You're quite lucky."
Karen's words made Molly's face even paler. Phinis also shot a cold glance at Karen but didn't say anything to him. Instead, he spoke to Molly with an indifferent tone, "Since you've become like this, there's nothing more to say. Please leave."
Molly became even more panicked, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, Lord Phinis, please, don't drive me away. I'll be cured in a month, truly, I will be cured!"
Before Phinis could respond, Karen laughed again, "Do you really underestimate me? If it were that easy to cure, do you think I'd keep this thing? For decoration?"
"...No, it will definitely work, it will!" Molly's lips were trembling, continuously shaking her head, pleading with Phinis to let her stay. Seeing Phinis unmoved, she immediately turned to Hewinia, "Miss Hewinia, please help me. I beg you, help me, I really can't lose this opportunity, I really can't..."
With those words, everyone's eyes focused on Hewinia.
Everyone here knew that Molly was Hewinia's little follower, at least on the surface.
And Molly was able to stay in the orchestra because Hewinia chose a suitable piece for her.
So they naturally wanted to know Hewinia's decision.
But since things had developed to this point, what decision could Hewinia still make? She just calmly shook her head and said, "I can't either, Molly. I don't mind your appearance, but your tone color is completely off now, and you should know that this state is absolutely not fit for the festival, especially since our music is for the finale dedicated to the Lord. Do you want to anger the Lord?"
Hewinia's words directly shattered the last glimmer of hope in Molly's heart.
Indeed, what they are to play is the finale dedicated to the Lord.
And if she appears before the Lord like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Molly's throat moved.
She seemed to want to say something more but knew it was useless; the light in her eyes dimmed bit by bit.
"Leave here," Hewinia said.
Molly slowly lowered her head, "I... understand."
"No, you don't understand."
Molly instinctively looked up to see Hewinia slowly walking up to her, looking down at this "friend" of just one month's acquaintance, "I'm not talking about leaving this classroom, but leaving this academy."
Molly's mouth opened little by little, "You mean..."
"To strip away the note, leave this academy, and become an ordinary person," Hewinia said calmly, "You should know, the toxin has completely entered your note. And you're not Karen. If you don't destroy the note in time, the final outcome will certainly be your whole body rotting away, unable even to preserve your body."
Molly's body trembled more and more violently.
Because she knew what Hewinia said was true, but she still couldn't accept it.
"Become an ordinary person, become an ordinary person..." she murmured softly, "I came here with such difficulty, finally earned the qualification for the Inner Song, soon, soon I would have a different life... and now, you want me to become an ordinary person, become an ordinary person..."
Hewinia's expression remained calm, "I can understand you, and given our relationship, I'm willing to help you."
"Help... me?" Molly looked up at Hewinia again, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "You can help cure this illness?"
"No." Hewinia shook her head, "What I can do is, after you become an ordinary person, have my family offer you a job, if you need it."
The glimmer vanished.
"Is that so... just an ordinary job," Molly said softly, "Just a job, after all."
Hewinia said nothing, just quietly watched Molly.
Molly's body began to tremble again, more violently.
"Why... just like this, my future is gone," she said softly, "I came here with such difficulty, made it this far, just one step away."
Phinis, on the side, looked coldly at Molly, "You're just inflicting this suffering on yourself; no one here owes you anything."
"Inflicting suffering on myself?" Molly suddenly laughed, "Mr. Phinis, you can truly say that, huh... Mr. Karen wanted to do those things to me, how could you pretend not to know anything?"
Phinis squinted slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"What do I want to say?" Molly stood up slowly, despair revealing mania in her eyes, "Mr. Karen... no, that dead fat pig."
She suddenly raised her hand, pointing at Karen's face.
"That dead fat pig wanted to do things to me, didn't you know? Those times he found me privately, those times he coerced me, you were obviously on the side listening, you obviously knew everything!" Molly's voice suddenly rose, "As the captain, did you stop him?"
