Chapter 459 Fighting
Suddenly, an unknown storm condensed in the air. Among the crowd, Asajj's perception allowed her to detect the appearance of Maximoff - Wanda without turning around.
"Wanda." A familiar and kind voice came, and Traya greeted in her unique gentle tone, "It's really comforting to see you back."
Wanda responded with her usual politeness, but she never took her eyes off Ventres.
"Don't I deserve a greeting, Maximov?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Sazan's voice.
Maximov snorted disdainfully, her eyes piercing Ventres like a knife. "Please explain why you are here?"
Asajj did not retreat but advanced, responding coldly: "Why should I tell you what I did, Avenger? This land does not belong to you."
Wanda's eyes flashed with determination, and she took a step forward to face the Dathomir half-blood. "However, this place is of great importance to me and my daughters." There was no doubt in her words.
"You hope we never encounter that holographic dragon, don't you?" The Avenger thought to herself, knowing that the power of the dark Jedi Knights could help the enemy and cause a lot of trouble in the future. Now it seems that her premonition is coming true.
Talzin was unaware of the undercurrents behind the scenes, and Asajj's actions went surprisingly smoothly - although this remains to be seen compared to the clan leader's level of mystery. However, things did not develop as she wished, and Asajj accidentally discovered the activated holographic dragon.
With a snort, she revealed the truth: "If you really want to know, I stumbled upon this situation while taking a walk." Her tone revealed disdain and contempt.
Before Wanda could respond to the slightly humorous comment, Merlin spoke up first, "Asajj needs help right now." There was an indescribable urgency in his voice.
"She needs help..."
"You leave my home planet." Asajj said, staring at Wanda with a vicious look, and Wanda glared back.
Wanda's words were interrupted by a vicious glare from Asajj, which the Sokovian returned.
"It's time for her to seriously adjust her attitude." Wanda's voice was filled with helplessness and determination, and a red sphere floated in her hand.
At this time, Asajj's cousin Illyana could no longer hold back her anger. "Wanda and Asajj, why do you always fight like this!" She said to Wanda, her voice full of annoyance and confusion.
"Why can't you live in peace with each other?" Illyana asked softly, her tone full of helplessness and expectation.
"Perhaps your cousin just needs to learn how to respect others," Wanda responded calmly, with determination in her eyes.
"Not everyone's mind needs to be read," Illyana retorted, a hint of stubbornness in her voice.
Wanda shook her head slightly, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes. "But every time she casts her eyes on me, the cold murderous intent is impossible for me to ignore. I can't let myself ignore her."
"Perhaps, you can try to forget, or... try to understand." Illyana tried to propose a compromise.
“Forget?!” Wanda was almost yelling now. “Illyana, how would you feel if someone who tried to kill Merlin was in front of you every day and you had to hold yourself back? How would you feel if you saw her again after what she did to your aunt and Tina in Zalem? Your cousin here killed a lot of people who never deserved to die like that. Tell me…”
Illyana was stunned and speechless until tears escaped from the corners of her eyes and began to flow down her cheeks.
Instantly, Wanda's hostility and anger vanished, and she immediately pulled Elena into a tight hug, whispering apologies in her ear and rubbing her back.
The two ancient Sith souls watched all this quietly, with no expression on their faces, but their eyes revealed a deep understanding of this complex emotion.
Ventres was nervous, arms crossed, unable to look her in the face as someone from her immediate family was being comforted by a woman who was her enemy.
Merlin spoke quickly. "Wanda... I know you and Asajj hate each other, but you don't have to keep fighting about it. It... hurts," she pointed to her chest. "Right here, when I saw you so angry at her. And then Illyana got sad, and then I got sad too... We don't want to see you angry all the time, Wanda. Please? Can't you just... pretend to be at peace?"
Wanda looked at the two little girls and forced a smile on her face. "I'll try," she said softly, "for everyone."
"Stop being so mean to Wanda!" Merlin circled around Asajj, "She's been taking care of us for months. Stop being so mean to Wanda, you bitch!"
"Merlin!" Wanda suddenly stepped out of her nurturing and soothing mother mode and into her strict mother mode. "Merlin, what did you just say?"
Merlin roared, her voice echoing in the air. Before she could rush forward, an invisible psychic force had already surrounded her tightly, slowly pulling her into the control of the Scarlet Witch.
Maximoff began to pinch Merlin's cheeks hard, her moans of pain echoing in the air, and her eyes pleaded, hoping for a little mercy.
"Merlin, I have clearly warned you of the consequences of using such impolite language."
Merlin was crying in agony, his tears streaming down his cheeks making him particularly noticeable. Illyana, though her previous words had been more pointed, could not help but burst into tears now, and she viewed her friend's predicament in a slightly mocking way.
Meanwhile, Ventres remained neutral, capturing the conversation between the two Sith spirits with keen insight.
"Is this how children challenge the authority of their elders?" Traya thought to herself.
"It does take some effort to manage their emotions." Sakuran commented. "But this kind of thing is not for me..."
"At least they should be allowed to express their emotions at a young age. Otherwise, they may suffer from emotional stunting at a young age, which is a great disservice to them."
The two Sith souls continued their conversation, and Ventres was acutely aware of Traya's gaze directed at her.
"Now what we need to discuss is how to deal with the Asajj issue."
This change of scene temporarily stopped Merlin's "punishment". The young man looked at the Sith Soul and Ventres in front of him, and couldn't help feeling nervous.
