The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Paige looked at Rafael and calmly stated the ultimate purpose of this visit, “I want to join the Legislative Council.”

The Legislative Council is the only body in A Nation that can amend legal statutes.

As soon as she spoke, the entire reception room fell silent.

It was the first time Carrie and the others had heard Paige express her goal, and they all looked at her in shock.

Rafael was momentarily taken aback, then smiled. “The Legislative Council?”

She didn’t say she “wanted” to; she said she “would.” Her goal was clear.

“Yes,” Paige nodded and placed the cup of tea she had been holding to the side.

“The members of Peak Club certainly have grand ambitions. The Legislative Council… well, it could use some fresh blood. I’ll help you check if there are any internship opportunities available,” Rafael said with a smile. “But even as an intern, you’ll have to pass rigorous assessments. You’d better be prepared.”

“I can pass,” Paige replied confidently. She was never afraid of any exam. The real challenge was that ordinary people couldn’t even obtain the qualification to take the Legislative Council’s exam. But today, by being here with Rafael, she had secured that qualification and was confident she could enter.

Rafael nodded with a smile.

After discussing business, Rafael mentioned that he had other official duties and suggested that the butler give them a tour of the Presidential Palace, but Paige declined.

After leaving the reception room, Rafael entered a study room nearby, where several people were already seated.

The television screen showed surveillance footage of Paige and her group walking away.

“The girl leading them is too arrogant, with not a shred of humility,” someone remarked disapprovingly.

“Indeed, she even spoke rudely to you, Mr. President. I think Peak Club should be dealt with.”

“Exactly, and she wants to join the Legislative Council? A little girl who hasn’t even graduated dares to dream so big.”

The Legislative Council-a place where a girl without any background would be caught like a fly in a spider’s web.

Rafael looked at the television screen. While the members of Peak Club were looking around in awe, Paige walked ahead, her gaze straight ahead, calm and composed.

“I think this girl is more capable than we give her credit for,” Rafael said slowly, his gaze deep. “Rather than suppress a group of students, it’s better to bring them under our wing. In the future, they could be useful and help alleviate public concerns about class differences.”

Someone nearby couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. President, you intend to support Peak Club, but aren’t you worried that this Paige might not be cooperative? She seems difficult to control, and what is she planning to do in the Legislative Council?”

Rafael chuckled. “For now, it seems that Peak Club simply wants to rise to prominence as representatives of the common people.”

“As long as they’re not working against us, we can give them a chance to rise.”

Rafael continued, “But if she ever decides to oppose us, just as I can raise her up, I can also bring her down.”

The members of Peak Club were all talented individuals. Having them on their side in the future would be beneficial. However, if this girl tried to further inflame class tensions, it would be problematic. But she was smart; she probably wouldn’t do something so foolish.

…

After leaving the Presidential Palace, everyone was in high spirits.

“I never dreamed I’d one day be able to enter the Presidential Palace and speak with the President!” Rey exclaimed excitedly.

“The President seems so young and friendly, totally different from the people in Elite Club,” someone else added.

As they walked, Paige smiled faintly at the remark. “You shouldn’t judge people by appearances, especially those in high positions. Don’t underestimate them; just focus on doing your own job well.”

“Yes,” everyone responded.

“Paige is right,” Carrie said, walking beside Paige. “I heard the President has a close relationship with Enrico. The news says that Enrico is ruthless and merciless in his actions. For the President to get along with such a man, he must be quite formidable himself.”

“Who do you think is more handsome, the President or Mr. Gustin?” Gabi asked dreamily, her face full of admiration.

Girls always love discussing looks.

Everyone chimed in with their opinions, and then Gabi turned to Paige. “Paige, who do you think is more handsome?”

Paige wasn’t interested in this topic, but Gabi kept pressing her, so she thought for a moment and seriously replied, “In terms of looks, Rafael doesn’t come close to Enrico.”

She still remembered that moment under the tree in the slums when she first laid eyes on him, completely stunned by his extraordinary appearance.

Enrico’s looks were striking, almost shockingly so.

“No way, the President is quite handsome! Even more so in person than on camera. And looks should be judged in real life,” Gabi said.

Paige glanced at her. “Even in real life, Enrico’s appearance is more striking.”

“Wow, Paige, you’ve met Enrico in person?” Gabi was stunned.

Nick, standing nearby, waved his hand. “Did you all forget? Enrico was at Carrie’s competition last time, so of course, Paige has seen him.”

“Oh, right.”

With that clarification, everyone dropped the matter.

As they continued walking, Nick suddenly shouted excitedly, “Look, it’s the city wall!”

Paige looked up and saw a section of broken city wall ahead, about five or six meters high, bearing the marks of history.

“Let’s climb up!”

Under Nick’s lead, everyone ascended the steps and walked onto the silent city wall. The azure sky above was dotted with slowly drifting white clouds, and the ancient wall stood like a steadfast guardian, quietly basking in the scorching sun.

Climbing to such heights always stirred something deep inside. Nick immediately sat on the flat edge of the wall and encouraged the others, “Come on, let’s all sit together!”

“This is too high! If we fall, we could die!” Gabi said, clearly frightened.

“What are you afraid of? I’m here, and no one will fall. The view is best enjoyed sitting up here,” Nick reassured her.

Rey and the others were tempted by Nick’s words and joined him, agreeing that the view really was better from up there. The girls, feeling the same way, were soon sitting on the wall too, their legs dangling over the edge, feeling both thrilled and slightly scared.

“Paige?” Carrie looked back at Paige, who was standing a little apart from the group.

“Come on, Paige!” Nick called out excitedly, leaving a spot between him and Carrie just for her.

Seeing the expectant expressions on everyone’s faces, Paige couldn’t refuse and finally joined them. Now, a row of people sat neatly atop the high wall.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

In the distance, the sky stretched out endlessly, vast and boundless, giving them a sense of the world’s grandeur, as if the entire world lay beneath their feet.

Then, someone, nobody knew who started it, began shouting loudly towards the horizon.

“In the future, I’m going to apply for countless patents, and I’ll become the best expert at the Research Institute!” Rey shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, his voice hoarse with intensity.

“One day, all the buildings I design will win awards! The trophies will fill Peak Club! No one will ever bury my designs again!” Gabi shouted too, her voice breaking with emotion. “I never dared to dream before, but now, with Paige, I dare to!”

Paige noticed Gabi’s eyes brimming with excitement, and everyone laughed.

Gabi blushed and covered her face with her hands.

“I hope our Peak Club will dominate every field in A Nation’s future!” Bobby shouted. “Heavens, bless us!”

“I just hope I can make a lot of money, loads and loads of money!” Carrie exclaimed, her eyes filled with hope.

If the founding of Peak Club had given them hope, today’s meeting with the President made them see the possibility of success. After all, just a short time ago, they thought they were only fit to drift through life, but now everything had changed dramatically.

“As for me, I’ll stick with Paige! Whatever Paige does, I’ll do too. If Paige kills someone, I’ll hand her the knife. If Paige gets into a fight, I’ll kick a few times for her!” Nick shouted into the wind.

Paige smiled faintly at this, opened her water bottle, and took a sip to cool down under the blazing sun. Suddenly, she felt everyone’s eyes on her, waiting for her to share her own wish.

Paige gazed into the distant sky, her clear eyes thoughtful. Lightly gripping the water bottle, she didn’t shout or scream. She simply said, “I just want to rebuild a place.”

“Rebuild what place?” Nick asked, bewildered.

“That place is called-‘Hell on Earth,'” Paige said calmly.

She intended to change it, to rebuild it.

Carrie looked at her curiously, “What place is ‘Hell on Earth’? Are you talking about those war-torn regions abroad, Paige?”

Paige didn’t elaborate. “When the time is right, I’ll let you all know.”

For now, it wasn’t the right time to explain.

Seeing that Paige didn’t want to say more, everyone refrained from asking further. Nick pounded his chest with his fist, “Paige, whatever you plan to do in the future, I’ll follow you without hesitation!”

“Me too.”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

Everyone rushed to pledge their loyalty, afraid that if they were too slow, Paige might think they weren’t sincere.

Paige smiled, “Alright, I’ll remember these words. You’ll have to live up to them in the future.”

“No problem,” they all replied.

The group continued to playfully jostle each other on the wall.

In the distance, the road was eerily quiet. A sleek black convertible sat parked by the roadside, its surface gleaming coldly in the sunlight, no one knew how long it had been there.
