That was his mother, the person he was loyal to and admired. In the end, he had only temporarily lost his power, and they thought he was useless, that he was just a pretty face.
Is the cooperation with the Su family really that important? So important that they would abandon their own daughter and subordinates without hesitation?
My heart is as cold as ice!
The despair and anger of being abandoned ignited a fire in Ada's heart. She wanted revenge. She wanted them to know that she was not just a pretty face. She wanted them to know the consequences of abandoning her!
You value your cooperation with the Su family, don't you? Then I'll sabotage your cooperation and... reclaim my own power.
Although the witch's power has been sealed, what makes her truly terrifying is not close combat, but her various magical curses. This knowledge will not be forgotten just because her power has been sealed.

"Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring..." The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Su Shi and Juliet Hill's cozy breakfast. Juliet Hill smiled and got up to hand the cell phone on the coffee table to Su Shi.
After Su answered the call, Nick's voice came through. A robbery and murder had occurred. The victim was the owner of a tea and spice shop, a male fox demon. He asked Su if she was interested in coming over to take a look.
"I'll be there in a bit." After hanging up the phone, Su finished her breakfast methodically, smiled at Juliet Hill, and then teleported to Nick's side.
At that moment, Nick was in the basement of the victim's shop, examining the surrounding items. When Sue appeared, he paused for a moment before explaining the case.
The owner of the tea and spice shop, Freddy, was a fox spirit who provided Vincent with some special materials. Not long ago, he was found shot dead in the shop, with a piece of the killer's flesh still in his mouth. However, no money was missing from the shop. The killer's identity is currently unknown, but Nick guesses it was for some kind of material in the shop.
“I’ve contacted the victim’s sister, and she’ll be here as soon as possible. I hope she can find out why the victim was killed,” Nick said.
Ms. Su nodded: "Isn't there any CCTV footage in the store?"
Nick shook his head: "No."
"Okay, what's his sister's name?"
“Rosalie Carver,” Nick said, then looked curiously at Sue. “Is there a problem?”
Ms. Su shook her head.
Just then, Nick's phone rang. It was his partner, Hank, calling to say that the victim's sister, Rosalie Carver, had arrived at the police station.
“I’m at the tea and spice shop. You can have her come directly here.” Since it involved the Vison Monster, Nick thought it best to avoid his partner and colleagues at the police station.
Chapter 200 The Fox Demon Rosalie Carver
After Sue and Nick came out of the basement, they curiously looked around the tea and spice shop, which was one of the more important locations to visit in the series "Grimm".
With the death of the shop owner, his sister Rosalie will take over the business. She not only has a sweet romance with Eddie Monroe, but is also skilled at creating antidotes for various spells, helping Nick a lot and becoming an indispensable member of Nick's Green team.
Sue vaguely remembered that this store had another hidden identity, or rather, the owner's hidden identity, which was the Green Commission's contact person in the Portland area.
As for what the Green Committee did, Su was not quite sure, only remembering that they formulated the 'Code of Honor,' which was equivalent to the laws of Green Biotechnology.
One of these is that if Green Bio exposes itself for profiting from ordinary people, something catastrophic will happen, and the entire Green Bio will be in danger.
Simply put, it is forbidden for Vison to rob or profit in the world of ordinary people in his monster form. Once discovered, all Green creatures, i.e., Vison, can report it and report it to the Green Committee through the liaison. The committee will then send an assassin to deal with it.
I remember an episode where two werewolves and a lizard robbed several banks in their true forms. Although they were eventually arrested, the committee's assassins killed them in front of Nick, the police, and reporters in public.
"Squeak..." The door was pushed open, and a woman wearing jeans, a long coat, and a scarf walked in.
“Rosalie Carver? This is Detective Nick, and this is a consultant from the Sue family. I’m sorry to have called you here under these circumstances,” Nick said.
“Who killed him!” Rosalie Carver asked in a deep voice.
“We don’t know yet,” Nick shook his head.
Rosalie Carver looked at Nick: "What do you know?"
“He died in a robbery. Since the money in the store wasn't stolen, we believe the robbers were after the store's valuables. He managed to activate the alarm, so we don't know if the robbers got anything.” Nick explained, then asked, “How much do you know about your brother's business?”
Rosalie Carver said, “He sells tea, spices, and herbs; it’s not complicated. As far as I know, my brother doesn’t have any enemies. Is that what you wanted to ask next?”
Nick smiled somewhat awkwardly and continued, "Do you know if he's involved in the trade of contraband?"
“I don’t know. I see him once a year, and we mostly keep in touch by phone. I want to bury him, close his shop, and go home.” Rosalie Carver’s voice choked with sadness as she looked around and her eyes fell on the bloodstains on the carpet.
She hurried over and squatted down. Looking at the bloodstains, she seemed to see her brother's miserable state at that time. Grief made her involuntarily reveal her own expression.
Sue had been waiting for this moment. She instantly rolled her eyes, and Rosalie Carver's appearance instantly became fluffy and incredibly cute.
Vixen?
Fox demon?
Of all the transformed versions of Vison I've seen so far, she's definitely the cutest and most beautiful.
“We’re not sure if it’s all your brother’s blood; he bit the killer.” Sensing Rosalie Carver’s grief, Nick offered a reminder.
Rosalie Carver turned her head upon hearing this, and Nick saw her Vincent appearance, and she also recognized Nick's identity.
Green!
In an instant, Rosalie Carver transformed back into her human form and hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at Nick in horror to create distance. Nick clearly knew that she knew his identity and quickly raised his hands to explain, "I didn't hurt your brother, and I won't hurt you either."
“Do you know what a gallbladder is?” Nick asked. “The human gallbladder.”
“I know what that is.”
Nick: "Did you know your brother was selling that stuff?"
"do not know."
“A group of eagle monsters used to supply him with goods.”
Was he killed by an eagle monster?
"When did this happen?"
Sue and Rosalie Carver both asked Nick the same question. Nick was speechless, while Rosalie Carver seemed to have calmed down from the shock of discovering Green and noticed Sue.
"You...your eyes...what are you?" Rosalie Carver looked at Sue in surprise, shook her head, and revealed her Vincent appearance again.
Uh, it seems like there's a saying among the Vincents? They reveal their true forms to each other to confirm each other's identities?
Su rolled her eyes and smiled, then turned to Nick: "When did you encounter the eagle monster?"
"While you and your girlfriend were on vacation, a group of eagle monsters were using the pretext of running a free clinic to examine homeless people who came to the clinic, in order to determine whether they were suitable for organ transplantation and trafficking."
After saying that, Nick looked at Rosalie Carver: "At first I thought so too, but now I think the person who killed your brother wanted something else."
· ····Requesting flowers·· ······
"what?"
Nick shrugged. "That's what I was going to ask you."
“I don’t know what he has here, but I’ll check,” Rosalie Carver said.
Nick nodded and looked at Sue: "Do you have any ideas? I know you know a lot of things, like the goat monster, the pig demon, and the werewolf."
Su chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Still upset about not catching Angelina?"
Nick said noncommittally, "She was injured. I know she went to your house and never came out. You can teleport, so... I can't think of any other way she could escape the pursuit except for you helping her."
. ........ 0
"You underestimate her. Believe me, she could have escaped even without me." Su shrugged.
Nick said in a deep voice, "Her matter is in the past. Now this case should have nothing to do with Monroe or your other friends, right? So, do you know who the killer is?"
"Do you know who the murderer is?" Rosalie Carver looked at Su excitedly.
Sue looked at Rosalie Carver, unsure whether to say Nick's words were blessed. Who said this case had nothing to do with Monroe? It was because of this case that Monroe and Rosalie Carver got together. However… it seems Monroe is about to miss out on another marriage, perhaps the best one yet.
“I do know some clues. The robbers are two lizard-like drug addicts. They want to rob J. You know what J is,” Su said.
"J?"
“It’s a type of mold that’s deadly to most humans, but it has an opium-like effect on Visson, can be used to calm, and is also very addictive,” Rosalie Carver explained.
Simply put, this thing is equivalent to Vincent's drug.
"Anything else? It'll be hard to find the robbers with just these," Nick pressed.
Su thought for a moment and said, "They will probably come again. We can catch them by waiting here."
……
P.S.: Following these long-running American TV series is a real headache. I'm afraid I'll miss details if I don't finish watching the beginning, but there's almost no main plot in the early episodes; the main plot comes later. I'm only on season two now, and after doing some research, I still don't understand things like Black Talon, the rebels, or the Green Council.
Chapter 201 Adaline's Revenge?
In the TV series, these two lizard monsters, who had gotten themselves drunk, entered the store to rob J, but the store owner's alarm made them flee in a panic. Afterwards, they returned to the store, where Rosalie Carver was taking inventory. She was discovered by the lizard monsters and almost got into an accident, but she cleverly trapped the lizard monsters in the store and escaped successfully.
Later, Rosalie Carver informed Nick, who initially wanted the police to protect her, but she wanted to stay with her kind, namely... Monroe.
It was because of this opportunity that Rosalie Carver and Monroe developed feelings for each other.
Sue recalled that another incident occurred at the same time as this case. Before the shop owner was murdered, Ada Ling bought a lot of materials for casting spells from him and used these materials to make cookies for Nick's partner Hank. She hoped to get close to Nick through Hank 180, with the ultimate goal of obtaining the key that Nick's aunt left for Nick.
After eating Adaline's cookies, Hank couldn't help but fall in love with her. The deeper his love grew, the more certain it became that if they had sex, Hank would die. Coincidentally, Hank and Nick's colleague, Wu, greedily ate a cookie and nearly died from blisters all over his body. Rosalie Carver concocted an antidote that saved him. Because of this, Rosalie Carver changed her mind and decided to stay and continue running the shop.
Nick trusted Sue's words completely. This trust was built up over several incidents and stemmed from his belief that Sue and 'Green' were on the same side after learning that Sue could turn Vison into an ordinary person.
Since the lizard monster would return, waiting for it to come back was indeed the best approach. Rosalie Carver didn't know why Nick, the policeman, and Green had believed Sue's words so readily, but she had no other choice; she needed to sort through her brother's belongings, so she had to stay.
Su did not stay. He only remembered that the two lizard monsters would return, but he did not know exactly when. Rather than wasting time waiting here, he would rather go and see what Ada Ling was doing and whether Sean Leonard had blamed her for her sealed power.
"call out--"
The art of Flying Thunder God.
The next second, Su appeared in an apartment.
In the apartment, Ada Ling, dressed in casual clothes, was adding something to a pot of sticky food. When she saw Su Shi suddenly appear, she immediately showed a look of horror and fear, and subconsciously picked up the spatula next to her and took a few steps back.
A witch had to use a spatula to defend herself against an enemy; it's quite tragic, to say the least.
Ada Ling seemed to realize this as well, and after hesitating for a moment, she put the spatula back on the table: "You, what do you want!"
"Shouldn't I be asking you what you want?" Su glanced at the sticky food and the strange bottles and jars around her. "Are you preparing some kind of spell? Let me guess, it's probably not to restore your sealed power, is it?"
"No, no." Ada Ling tried her best to appear natural. She knew that Su Shi could read minds, so she absolutely could not let Su Shi have any suspicions. Otherwise, not only would everything she had done be in vain, but she might also be in danger of losing her life.
