The sixth day at the capital.
The auction started at night, so Ainsley still had half a day to do things.
Thus, Ainsley went to the casino after having lunch and played a bit on the 99th floor to plunder some treasures, mainly treasures that could restore her energy consumption even better than energy crystals.
Ainsley stockpiled tons of those kinds of one-time treasure or treasure that needed to be charged with energy crystals. She wasn't picky and just plundered them all.
After all, her new skill required a lot of energy to use. Even more so skill control, area control, minimising energy consumption, and so on.
Aside from gambling, while waiting for the auction to start at night, Ainsley practised controlling her skill.
She set a goal that she must achieve a perfect aim when targeting someone among the crowd.
When she could do that without missing her target, it means that she was already adept at using her new skill.
[Hmm, good, good. Oh, next time, to activate your skill faster, just immediately think of the luck level result you want to achieve. No need to check your target's initial luck level first.]
The Godfather gave Ainsley another piece of advice while the baby casually shot her finger at a random passerby.
Some would suddenly trip and fall, and others would suddenly find a coin on the floor or something.
[Mmm. I see…I see. But if their initial luck level is a distance away from the final result I wanted, won't it consume too much energy?]
Ainsley tilted her head. When she spoke, another person slipped and fell butt-first.
By now, the baby could already aim at others without even looking at them. She started to rely on her keen hearing to differentiate their voices.
[Well, indeed, it will take a lot of energy. But remember. Your skill will have the best effect when it's used to attack.] The Godfather fixed his suit as he floated around the baby.
[If you only give your enemy bad luck, they won't die. At most, they'll only have a mishap or something.]
The spirit shrugged. He then looked at Ainsley with a stern face.
[Remember. Your world is cruel. It's either kill or be killed. Don't give mercy to your enemies. Just directly control their luck to extremely bad luck, wood level.]
That way, the enemy would die in various ways.
For example, they might get shot by others right at their vital organs. They might have a heart attack. They might slip, fall, and hit their head to the ground.
It might sound cruel, but the Goddess of Fortune and Misfortune skill was meant to be used that way.
When Ainsley heard about the dark side of her skill, she shuddered.
Actually, she had thought about that as well but still didn't think she would ever control someone's luck to extreme bad luck…
After all, she had never killed anyone before. Cellino was the one making the killing.
Seeing Ainsley didn't speak, the Godfather paused before shaking his head.
[Don't think that you kill them with your own hands. Just say that the Goddess of luck abandoned them. And that's why they died. Isn't it true?]
The Godfather tried to take Ainsley's mental condition to his teaching method as well. After all, the baby was someone who lived in a peaceful era.
For her to withstand her ground after seeing someone get killed was already good. And not to mention that her body was still 3 years old. Too much stimulation might destroy her body.
[When you finally decided to use your skill to kill, just…think of it as others having extremely bad luck that they died. They don't die directly by your hands. Just indirectly.] The Godfather added.
At least, this would lessen Ainsley's guilt. Even though, in the end, she had to be responsible for what she did and shouldn't run away from her sins.
It's kill or be killed world. Even when Ainsley's life was kinda peaceful now, on the road to bring the Sloan Family back to the top, there's no way she wouldn't shed blood.
Ainsley listened to the Godfather's words, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
She would indeed feel guilty for killing someone, but if she chose to be innocent even after killing someone, that would be nasty.
[I…]
The baby hadn't spoken when the Godfather already cut her off.
[…if you still can't think of killing someone, you can take it as this lord doing the killing. Got it?]
The Godfather patted the baby's head and once again, taking the burden all on himself.
When Ainsley felt the wind caressing her head, her eyes teared up a bit.
This doesn't involve the Godfather whatsoever…but he still wants to help me…
As the Godfather's disciple, Ainsley felt that she shouldn't burden her mentor or disappoint him.
Taking a deep breath, the baby looked at the spirit and smiled.
[It's okay, uncle. When the time comes, and I'll have to kill to protect my people, I'll take all the burden.]
[It's my responsibility, and will always be.]
Ainsley knew that she didn't transmigrate to be a flower inside a greenhouse.
She didn't have a doting father and doting brothers that would kill for her. She didn't have anyone protecting her and her family.
Even if there were, they wouldn't help her family all the time. That would be embarrassing for her family.
Ainsley also knew that no matter what, it wasn't her luxury to be protected. She was the one who had to protect. Protect her people, her family, Cellino, and maybe…
This spirit as well.
Ainsley glanced at the Godfather's stern face and couldn't help but giggle.
Someday, I'll help you too, Godfather! I'll protect you!
