Chapter 136
“Master, I’ve already said no. I don’t want to protect this dirty human who’s so weak!” Phoenix shouted.
However, it had yet to retract its little head.
“You don’t want the bow–shaped claws anymore?” Marina raised her eyebrows.
“I want them!”
“Will you listen to me?”
“… Yes!”
“That’s good.” Marina then walked out of the door.
Phoenix also kept up with her on its small wheels.
However, it was still mumbling non–stop.
“But Master, that human’s thoughts are especially dirty. What if he wants to do strange things to me?”
Marina asked, “What do you mean by strange things?”
“For example, take off my clothes, tie my body down, and then do weird stuff inside my body.” Phoenix used the most innocent tone to say the dirtiest
words.
Quantum, who was standing in the room, was petrified.
“But I often do the same things to you,” Marina said softly.
Phoenix said, “But you’re my master, not that dirty human. I can only allow my master to do things inside my body. I definitely can’t allow others to do things inside my body!”
“Then you can choose to blow him up with a bomb when that happens.” Marina’s tone was a little lazy.
“You’re so wise, Master, this tip is very useful.” The expression on Phoenix’s screen instantly turned into a smile.
When Quantum heard the entire conversation, he started to wear a long face.
He thought to himself, “Can you two keep your voices down?
“Or could you at least go a little further before you say that?
“Don’t you know that I could still hear you?”
However, no one paid attention to the wails in his heart.
Marina brought Phoenix directly to the third floor when they came out of the elevator.
That elevator was for her own use. No one else from the Bailey family would use it.
Meanwhile, Marina brought Phoenix directly to her studio.
She first took out the small bead in its storage room, then washed it inside and out.
Then, she installed a pair of bow–shaped claws on it.
After she finished her work, Phoenix drove its small wheels and ran to the full–length mirror at the side.

Chapter 136
It carefully admired its new look,
Then, it used its new claws to give the mirror a thumbs up.
Its new look was so cool!
Now it was time to let that dirty man admire its new look.
Phoenix immediately drove its small wheels toward the elevator.
Meanwhile, Marina was studying the golden bead in her hand.
When she was cleaning Phoenix’s body, it had already disinfected the golden bead.
From the outside, this golden bead looked just like an ordinary golden bead.
The quality was not bad.
However, for someone of Marina’s status, this little thing was really not presentable.
Marina took off the golden ring from her hand.
Then, she placed them together.
Could it be that the key to the Akister Treasure was all made of gold?
Golden ring, golden bead.
What about the other three?
Were they all made of gold?
Marina’s expression was a little gloomy.
Originally, she was not interested in the Akister Treasure. However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, she actually had two keys in her
hands.
Could it be that God wanted her to participate in this?
Marina’s slender fingers tapped the table nonchalantly.
She seemed to be thinking about something.
A moment later, Marina stood up, grabbed the golden ring and the golden bead on the table, and went downstairs.
She got into Simon’s car and drove out again.
Upstairs, Chuck and Lambeft all had complicated looks on their faces as they watched the car speed off.
Like always, Marina’s driving skills were really terrifying.
“Grandpa, Marina seems to have been going out recently. It seems like she didn’t come back for a few nights,” Lambert said faintly.
“My granddaughter has grown up and has her own thoughts,” Chuck said with a sigh.
“Grandpa, are you sure that Simon is someone we can trust?” Marina was not here, and Lambert had an unprecedentedly worried look on his face.
“If he can’t be trusted, then no one in this world can protect Marina.” Chuck’s eyes deepened.
He then looked up at the dark sky outside the window.
“I’m afraid Janeborough will witness some change soon. I hope Marina can be more powerful.”
So powerful that she could withstand any danger.
61% –
“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry. Marina has always been outstanding. Moreover, she still has us big brothers. As long as we are still breathing, we will definitely not let Marina get hurt at all!” Lambert said word by word.
“… Alright.” Chuck nodded.
Meanwhile, Marina drove all the way to Simon’s villa.
The moment she had just gotten out of the car, Simon opened the door.
“Huh? Are you going out?” Marina asked in surprise.
“No, I’m here to pick you up,” Simon said leisurely.
Marina nodded in understanding. “I came back to return your car, but there was an accident. I accidentally made a hole in your backseat. I’ll return a new
one to you.”
“Alright,” Simon agreed readily.
“Huh? Wouldn’t guys usually reject such suggestions from girls?” Marina raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“This is a gift from you. Why should I reject it?” Simon said matter–of–factly.
Marina immediately laughed when she heard this.
This was probably why she liked being with Simon.
Because it would be very easy and natural for her to be with him. In front of him, She was not a weak existence at all.
He would put her on the same level as him, so she would be especially casual when she was around him.
“By the way, there’s something I want to give you,” Marina remembered the purpose of her trip.
She took out the golden bead she had bought from Quantum.
“I heard this is the other key of the Akister Treasure. Take a look and see if it’s real.” Marina handed the golden bead in her hand to Simon.
Simon’s expression froze. Then, he stared at Marina in surprise.
“Where did you get this?”
“I got it by chance.” Marina did not mention Quantum.
Seeing her expression, Simon did not ask any further questions. He just took the golden bead and looked at it carefully.
“This is indeed one of the keys to the Akister Treasure.” After a moment, Simon looked up.
“Oh, it is real,” Marina said faintly.
“You’ve got great luck. You should know that everyone is looking for this thing,” Simon said.
