Chapter 59

Onlookers caught this jaw–dropping scene and shared it online.

Soon, folks recognized the person leading the pack as Evangeline.

The netizens were left in disbelief.

One of them commented: [Hold up, isn’t that Evangeline? What’s she doing in the dead of night? And what’s the deal with the crowd trailing behind her?]

Another person remarked. (This sight is downright mind–blowing.)

[Feels like something out of a supernatural invasion…]

[Evangeline is amazing. She’s leading a whole bunch of people astray by herself.]

[Leading them astray? Evangeline’s clearly helping them find themselves.]

Meanwhile, the owner of the barbecue joint posted a few videos, In the clips, he passionately explained, “Due to a misunderstanding, those folks were gearing up to confront Evangeline, but the cops dropped evidence proving her innocence. She played it cool, didn’t lay blame, and just made them foot the bill. She even shared drinks with everyone. At first, there were only a handful of them, but more and more joined, all invited by Evangeline. The place was so packed that most had to stand, but they all had fun. I even ran out of ingredients and had to call in neighboring store owners for help. Evangeline is amiable. She has no airs. Her personality is fantastic, and she’s super outgoing. I’m so excited to have met such an amiable celebrity for the first time. She’s a wonderful person, but she hates her family a lot. Clearly, the Gallagher family has some serious issues. Okay, enough said. I’m going to close the shop and catch up with Evangeline.

Before the end of the clip, he shouted, “Evangeline, climb bravely! Evangers, always together!”

Besides the video of him giving a personal explanation, he also posted a bunch of clips showing Evangeline having meals with random people.

In these videos, Evangeline was amiable, even calling over a passing dog to share a piece of chicken.

The netizens were blown away.

One commented: [Oh my gosh! Evangeline looks even more stunning through the lens of passersby. She stands out from the crowd and looks like an angel!]

[Evangeline is incredibly generous, laid–back, and down to earth. With her amazing personality, I would love to be friends with her even if she were an average looking ordinary person]

Another netizen remarked: [I envy those who were there. I want to drink with Evangeline too]

[1 want to let loose and crawl together with Evangeline in the cityt]

[The barbecue joint owner should be in his fifties, yet he’s shouting the slogan for Evangeline like a young man]

A person commented: [Where are the sponsors in the entertainment industry! Hurry up and get Evangeline to act or host a variety show. I can’t go a day without seeing her!]

Someone agreed: (Exactly, Evangeline, please act more and join more variety shows. Tve watched all the shows you’re in, but you’re always a side character with only an hour–long screen time. You were even intentionally uglified for sotme characters that I couldn’t recognize you. So frustrating!]

[Please, Evangeline, give us more entertainment!]

Seeing the netizens‘ comments, the directors and investors felt even more anxious than the netizens themselves.

They were eager to collaborate with Evangeline.

However, they couldn’t reach Evangeline.

Evangeline used to be a celebrity with Superb Entertainment, but she was no longer under contract.

When they contacted Superb Entertainment for her contact information, they were refused.

TA

They sent Twitter messages to Evangeline, but she didn’t reply or even read them.

If they couldn’t contact her, there was no possibility of collaboration.

They only hoped Evangeline would see the netizens‘ pleas and check her messages

Evangeline was at the top of the A–list celebrities in the entertainment industry now, and everyone wanted to work with her.

Yet Evangeline herself was oblivious to the online buzz.

At the moment, she was still swiftly crawling on the sidewalk, followed closely by a large, seemingly endless crowd.

Evangeline stood up and started running.

She wanted to leave this crowd behind

Behind her, many people were yelling “Hey, Evangeline! Why are you running? Why did you stop crawling“” “Evangeline, don’t leave us!” “Evangeline, wait for us!”

They also stood up, trying to catch up, but their speed was far behind Evangeline’s.

Evangeline was so fast that all they could see were her afterimages.

The people behind her were stunned,

In no time, Evangeline disappeared from their sight, and finally, they gave up the chase.

Evangeline returned home and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, she received a call from the director’s assistant of the show, Xtreme Survival.

The assistant director said. “Hello, Ms. Evangeline Castillo. I’m Michael, assistant to Smith, the director of Xtreme Survival, He asked me to inquire. about the list of participants you would like to have on the show. Once confirmed, we will announce the participants and promote the program. Filming will commence in a month.”

Evangeline, who had almost forgotten about this, quickly provided a few names.

Michael noted them down and repeated them to contim.

After ensuring there were no mistakes, Michael said, “All right, we’ll take care of it. Ms. Evangeline Castillo, please make sure to arrive in Nardor at least a day before the shoot.”

Evangeline responded, “Send me the money

“Uh…” Michael hesitated.

Evangeline continued, “I won’t go without the money.”

Michael replied. “I’ll discuss this with our boss.

Evangeline gave him an international account and said, “Once you guys figure it out, just transfer the money directly into my account. No need to reach out to me again. Remember, you cover the transaction fees.”

Michael remained silent.

Evangeline cut the call, went outside, and stretched her body,

She crawled two laps, ran ten, then did a hundred regular push–ups and proceeded to do one- -finger push–ups.

From thumb to pinky, she did a hundred repetitions for every finger.

Next, she attempted a one–arm handstand, eventually shifting to a one–finger handstand,

After these warm–ups, she started punching, fast and fiercely.

An hour later, she picked up a few leaves from the grass.

Holding a leaf between her index and middle fingers, she flicked it lightly, and the seemingly weightless leaf flew like a dart for over 30 feet before landing.

Evangeline furrowed her brows and remarked, “My body hasn’t fully recovered. The effects of that drug are too strong, and my metabolism is too slow. It’s been a year, yet it’s still not completely out of my system.

However, she had already improved a lot compared to before.

There was a chance she would fully recover in a month.

If it were not for the impact of the drug on her body, causing a significant decrease in her physical abilities, she wouldn’t have been successfully ambushed by Meghan three months ago.

As Evangeline thought of Meghan, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She had to settle the score with the Gallagher family before going to Nardor.

She decided to wait for three days, allowing them to engage in internal strife before making her final move.

Meanwhile, on the observatory atop the neighboring mansion, Arthur, Steven, and Hugo each held a telescope, watching Evangeline’s intense workout with stunned expressions.

Steven swallowed hard, trembling as he said, “Evangeline is too strong. Is she even human?”

Hugo commented, “She’s undoubtedly the most formidable human I’ve ever seen.

Arthur felt complicated.

He couldn’t fathom how Evangeline developed such formidable strength.

He wondered, What’s their special training method? Even her sister was exceptionally strong back then.

Steven looked at Arthur and said, “Arthur, maybe you should give up on Evangeline. Otherwise, you won’t stand a chance against her, and we’ll always have to be ready to collect your body. Just let me take the opportunity. I can handle a beating”

Arthur’s expression darkened.

Hugo interjected, “I think I’m more suitable. I’m a masochist

Arthur kicked them both and snapped. “Shut up.”

Letting out a sigh, Steven said, “Well, no amount of negotiations changes the fact that it’s not about who among us will pursue her, but who she’s going to choose. Evangeline is the one calling the shots.”

Arthur, still with a dark expression, walked down from the observatory.

“Where are you going? Hugo asked.

“I’m going to be her punching bag,” Arthur said without turning his head.

Steven and Hugo were speechless.

They initially considered following Arthur, but realizing their weak bodies couldn’t withstand a punch from Evangeline, they decided to stay put and continue observing.

Arthur quickly entered the mansion’s yard.

Evangeline was still engaged in her training

As she noticed Arthur approaching, she considered him a target and launched a high kick toward his head without a word.

Arthur reacted swiftly, sidestepping and retreating by two paces while reaching to grab her ankle.

Surprisingly, Evangeline hooked her foot around his neck, lifting her body into the air. Her other foot quickly followed, clamping down on his head. She executed an acrobatic flip, causing Arthur to lose balance and be flung to the ground.

90x

He rolled on the floor, performed a kip–up, and proactively attacked, throwing a punch at Evangeline.

Evangeline caught his punch, but her body was pushed back two steps by the force.

She was somewhat surprised, thinking, He’s stronger than I thought

The next moment, her eyes lit up with excitement.

After she parted ways with Dexter, she rarely came across people who could match up to her, so she was eager to have someone to spar with.

Both remained silent; their moves were fast and fierce, targeting vital points

That was how real fights worked. Attacking crucial points was a must

The sounds of their bodies colliding and sweat splattering in the air were enough to illustrate the intensity of the battle

Steven and Hugo watched with a mix of astonishment and trepidation from the observatory next door.

Steven remarked, “They’re going all out, hitting each other hard. It looks painful.

Hugo wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “How could Arthur go all out? He won’t be able to win over any girls like this?

Steven shot him a glare and remarked, “Evangeline isn’t an ordinary girl. If Arthur holds back, she’ll beat him senseless”

Hugo shook his head, stating, “Evangeline is a law–abiding person, so she won’t kill anyone. At most, she’ll leave them severely injured” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Steven felt speechless.

After nearly half an hour of fighting on the grass, the winner was finally determined.

Evangeline’s relentless combo kept pushing Arthur back, making him retreat constantly.

Her attacks were swift and powerful, leaving him with no choice but to defend himself.

Suddenly, Evangeline executed a foot sweep, causing him to lose balance and fall backward

Just as he tried to get up, Evangeline planted her foot on his chest.

Using the tip of her foot to grind against his chest. Evangeline smiled faintly and said, “If I go all out, I could shatter your stemum and break your heart

Arthur lay on the ground, gazing up at Evangeline, who stood over him condescendingly.

The rising sun behind her created a dazzling glow, casting her in silhouette

Standing there with the light behind her, she looked so beautiful, almost like someone you could only see in a dream, like a queen you’d never expect to meet in real life.

Arthur felt his heart suddenly racing as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

He thought, “Damn. Why does being beaten up make me more excited”
