The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 508 I Am The King

Elaine spent some time playing in the water and managed to catch a big fish. After holding it for a moment, she playfully tossed it back into the water. She then washed herself in the river and returned to the campsite. Elaine set up a portable toilet tent and went inside to relieve herself before changing out of her wet clothes. Netizen A: Elaine shouldn't be so shy. She could have just changed and used the toilet outside. I don't mind seeing her changing or using the toilet! Netizen B: She should only be wary of mean-spirited people. Why would she need to guard against a gentleman like me? Netizen C: Elaine is really lucky. She can easily catch fish in the water. If Miranda and her group find out about this, they'll be so jealous! Netizen D: Elaine clearly didn't catch that fish by sheer luck. Look at her speed and strength. It's not something an ordinary person possesses. Even special forces soldiers might not be able to rival her. Netizen E: That's right! When Elaine chased the group of monkeys earlier today, it was already apparent that she was not an average person. Even though the monkeys were not as big as humans, we shouldn't underestimate them. Plus, they're really fast. The fact that Elaine could catch up to them and give them a beating spoke volumes about her capability!After changing her clothes, Elaine tidied up her campsite and then lay down on the grass, gazing at the night sky. There was no light pollution in nature, and the stars shone brilliantly, creating an astonishingly beautiful sight. Elaine's mood gradually calmed, and she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. Since she wasn't sleeping in a tent this time, hidden cameras could continue to capture her every move. Even while she slept, a lot of viewers were still watching. Even in the middle of the night, there were still over ten million people watching. It was unbelievable that millions of people were watching her sleep. The program had cleverly partnered with a food delivery platform. When viewers saw the popup ads, many couldn't resist ordering some late-night snacks while continuing to watch. As a result, both the program and the food delivery platform were making a fortune. On the third day, Elaine practiced her Eight Brocades as usual after washing up. Afterward, she ventured into the forest to search for food. Meanwhile, Gavin, Miranda, and the others continued to wait by the riverbank, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the program crew. They were growing increasingly hungry and restless, yet there were no signs of anyone approaching. They had assembled in the morning without eating breakfast to ensure they looked good on camera. Consequently, they had gone without food for an entire day on the first day. Moreover, they only had two eggs yesterday. Now, on the third day, they were weak from hunger, and every movement felt like a struggle. Miranda cried out in frustration and fury, “What is the program crew doing? It's already the third day, and they still haven't sent anyone to find us. Could they have forgotten about us?” Gavin furrowed his brows, feeling equally anxious. In a trembling voice, Janice suggested, “What if the program crew has all been poisoned to death? Nobody knows we're here, so maybe that's why nobody has come to rescue us.” Her words sent shivers down everyone's spines as their eyes widened in fear. If that were true, what could they do? Splat! Furious, Miranda kicked Janice. “Shut up! Don't jinx us!” Janice bit her lip and dared not retort. She then distanced herself from the group. Jett frowned and said, “If Janice was right, and nobody knows we're here, what should we do? We can't find food ourselves. At this rate, we'll starve to death.” Xavier was filled with despair. “I think the crew has all died from poisoning. Otherwise, given our popularity, they wouldn't have forgotten us. Even if they did forget us, our managers wouldn't have forgotten about us either. There's only one possibility—nobody in the program crew managed to make it back to the shore alive, and our managers couldn't reach them. For confidentiality purposes, the program crew had not disclosed the filming location to anyone. Even if our managers couldn't locate us and report it to the police, it wouldn't be easy for the authorities to find us. We might starve to death before someone finally finds us.” A sense of despair descended upon everyone at Xavier's words. Miranda cried as she threw herself into Gavin's arms. “Gavin, hurry up and think of something. I don't want to die here. I want to go home. I want to see Mom, Dad, Yoel, and Quentin...” Gavin circled her into his embrace, feeling helpless as there was nothing he could do. “Why don't we go look for Elaine again and apologize to her? That way, we could ask her to help us with the food supply when she's out looking for food. At least, we won't have to starve to death,” Jett suggested. Miranda clenched her teeth. “I don't want to apologize to her. She beat me up so badly. She should be the one apologizing to me!” Jett glared at her and said nothing. She's still putting her dignity first when we're going to die from starvation? Xavier stood up and said to Jett, “I agree with your suggestion. Let's go and look for Elaine.” Jett nodded and got to his feet. “I-I'm going with you guys too!” Janice finally mustered the courage and said. “You come back here!” Miranda shouted angrily at Janice. “You're not allowed to go! If you dare to go and join that b*tch Elaine, when we get back, I'll have Yoel and the entire entertainment industry blacklist you, and you'll be done for!” Janice's face turned pale, and she felt rooted to the spot, unable to take another step forward. Jett furrowed his brow and said to Janice, “We're on the brink of death, and you're thinking about your future? Do you value your life or your future more?” “Jett is right, and besides, if you can't make it in the entertainment industry, there are other fields you can explore. She can't blacklist you from every other industry, can she? There is always hope if you stay alive.” Janice was moved to tears. She lifted her feet and walked toward Jett and Xavier, choking up as she said, “Okay, I'll go with you to find Elaine.” In reality, she didn't consider Elaine to be a bad person at all. At the very least, Elaine wasn't as bad as Miranda. As Miranda watched the three of them leave, she seethed with anger. "You think you're so clever, huh? Just wait until we get back! I won't let you off the hook!" However, this time, no one paid her any attention. Initially, they had been cautious because of Miranda's background, but now, with their lives hanging by a thread, they only wanted to survive. In their extreme hunger, they could only think about filling their stomachs and had no time for other concerns. "Gavin, they're so mean..." Miranda buried herself in Gavin's arms, crying with teary eyes. Gavin pursed his lips and said, "I think their decision is correct. We can't find food on our own, and even if we do, we don't know how to cook it. At this rate, we'll starve to death." Miranda bit her lip. "But I don't want to apologize to her. She has beaten me up so badly!" Gavin lowered his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Last night, I thought about it carefully. Every time Elaine attacked us, it was because we provoked her. "Maybe Elaine isn't as bad as you think. She doesn't seem to trouble us without reason." Miranda widened her eyes, looking incredulously at Gavin. "What are you saying? Are you actually taking her side? Do you really think she's not bad? If she's not bad, then am I the bad one? Have you forgotten how she always bullies me? Just in the past two days, she has insulted and beaten me up. Do you still think she's not a bad person?" Gavin pursed his lips and didn't answer her questions. He looked at her solemnly and asked, "So, what do you think we should do? We can't find food, and we can't cook. Should we just wait to starve to death?" Miranda was at a loss, but she still refused to apologize to Elaine. That woman doesn't deserve it! Elaine should be my slave, forever beneath my feet, and a slave has no right to demand an apology. Nevertheless, she was really hungry. She didn't want to die either, and it seemed like Elaine was their only hope now. Miranda bit her lip. Her voice softened as she said with a hint of reluctance, "I can swallow my pride and apologize to her, but after we leave here, you have to help me get revenge. I can't take a beating for nothing!" Gavin hesitated for a moment then nodded. "Okay." He helped Miranda to her feet, and they both headed in the direction where Elaine had stayed the previous night. However, when they arrived at the spot, they found no sign of her belongings. Her things were all gone, leaving only some burned ashes from the previous night's fire. "Where did that woman go?" Miranda frowned in annoyance. "She must have gone into the forest to find food. Let's go look for her, and maybe we can find something to eat ourselves along the way." He had a feeling that even if they found Elaine, she might not be willing to share her food with them. Therefore, he preferred the idea of finding their own sustenance. Even if they couldn't cook, as long as they could roast something and fill their stomachs, it didn't matter if it tasted good or not. Miranda reluctantly followed Gavin into the forest. She was famished and had no energy left. She didn't even feel like walking, and her dress was not suitable for the forest as the vegetation would scratch her skin. However, she didn't dare to stay outside alone. What if I encounter any danger out here all alone? It wasn't long before they stumbled upon Jett and the others after venturing into the forest. Jett looked at them with surprise. "Weren't you set on not apologizing to Elaine? Why are you here?" "Miranda was just angry for a moment," Gavin said. Jett shifted his gaze away and didn't say anything further. "Have you guys found Elaine?" Jett shook his head. "No, we're just following the trail she left behind, hoping to find her. But Elaine has entered the forest more than once. She's taken different paths out of here, and we don't know which one she took this time. We're not sure if we can find her." Miranda complained, "Why don't we just wait outside for her to come out? Why go in? There are so many mosquitoes and bugs inside. I am feeling all itchy from the bites!" "If we don't show goodwill when she's looking for food, and we don't ask her to find some for us too, we'll go hungry for another day," Jett said. Miranda grumbled, "Then let her go in again and find some for us!" Jett couldn't be bothered to argue with her. Who does she think she is, giving orders as if she were a queen? It would be a blessing if Elaine could provide us with some food, but to ask her to go in alone and find food for us is just a pipe dream. "Oh, I hear some rustling over there. Could it be Elaine?" Suddenly, Janice's voice came from ahead. Jett and Xavier immediately ran ahead. Gavin helped Miranda and followed behind. After running for a while, they finally saw Elaine. She was wearing a black combat outfit with her hair tied into a low ponytail. She suddenly made a graceful leap, using a tree trunk as a launchpad, and then grabbed onto a vine hanging from a tree. Her body swung forward as she let go of the vine, and she reached for another one, continuing to swing forward. Apart from Elaine, there was also a group of monkeys swinging on vines in the trees. The monkeys bared their teeth at her, but they seemed afraid of her and only dared to threaten her from a distance without challenging her directly. It appeared that Elaine wasn't just swinging on the vines for fun—she was chasing after the monkeys. As she chased the group of monkeys, she yelled, "How dare you ambush me? It seems I was too lenient yesterday. How dare you plan revenge on me. Today, I'll let you feel the strength of my fists!" As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed one of the monkeys. She released her grip, and from a height of several meters, she landed gracefully on the ground. Then, she pinned the monkey she had caught and began to beat it mercilessly. The monkey screamed in pain. The other monkeys watched in distress, gnashing their teeth and wanting to come to the rescue, but when Elaine cast them a cold, intimidating glance. They hesitated and didn't dare to approach. Fear was evident on their faces.Some of the more timid monkeys even urinated themselves and cowered behind trees, shivering. Gavin and the others were left in shock. Elaine... she's incredibly strong! She was able to swing on the vines in the forest. What's more, she was even more agile than the monkeys themselves. "Did she really catch the alpha monkey?" The monkey she had captured was quite large, and judging by the reactions of the other monkeys, it was evident that he held the position of Alpha. Observing how terrified the monkeys were of her, it was clear that Elaine had managed to intimidate them. They couldn't help but wonder what Elaine had done to instill such fear in them. In that moment, they were in awe of Elaine's capabilities. As they watched Elaine fiercely beat Alpha, a sense of dread washed over them. It was then that they realized Elaine had shown them mercy. If Elaine had unleashed that same ferocity on them, they wouldn't just be injured—they might be permanently disabled. Elaine continued to pummel Alpha for a good half hour before finally ceasing her assault. She displayed remarkable skill in her attacks, leaving Alpha bruised and battered but still conscious, without any life-threatening injuries. Considering these were endangered animals, Elaine was cautious not to violate any laws. Even though there were no witnesses or cameras around, she wished to uphold the law. She cast a cold gaze at Alpha. "Remember, I am the queen here. If you dare to ambush me again, I will show no mercy. I will break the limbs of you and your offspring!" The Alpha trembled, fear evident in its eyes. "What a formidable primate!" With a disdainful snort, Elaine kicked it away. The other monkeys immediately rushed to Alpha's side and then swiftly disappeared into the forest. "E-Elaine..."
