The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 My Fault?
[AuntieNextDoor: Woah!!! So fast!!!!]

[HeraismySister: Sister Hera is so cool!!! I think I’m falling in love!!!!]

[PasserbyGod: She really tamed it!!!]

The captivating events unfolding on Hera’s side, coupled with the VIPs staying tuned into her livestream, many people found themselves engrossed, eagerly awaiting how things would unfold. With no dull moments and genuinely enjoyable content, viewers were drawn in, resulting in a high retention rate on her side.

Both old and new viewers continued to flock to Hera’s livestream, eagerly anticipating her next moves. The Director couldn’t have been more pleased; his Producer’s last-minute decision had truly paid off, leading to a significant boost in ratings.

Initially, he had reservations about including too many newcomers in the show simultaneously. However, Hera’s exceptional performance alone was carrying the entire show on her shoulders, resulting in the highest retention rate they had ever achieved, and it was still on the rise.

He didn’t even need to wrack his brain to come up with new tricks to keep the viewers engaged and the atmosphere thrilling. Hera effortlessly and naturally managed everything on her own, making it all seem so easy.

On the opposite side, the participants gathered around the bonfire were engaged in discussions revolving solely around their experiences in the entertainment industry and the associated challenges. However, these narratives had been extensively covered in previous interviews, offering little new information and causing the conversation to grow stale. The absence of Xavier further exacerbated the situation, contributing to the overall boring atmosphere.

As a result, the retention rate of their viewers was gradually declining, and only the dedicated fans of the participants remained, steadfastly watching the livestream. Their streams appeared deserted, lacking the lively engagement seen in Hera’s stream. Meanwhile, Xavier’s fans contentedly watched him sleep, finding joy even in glimpsing his covered face.

In truth, all that was visible was a lump under the blanket on his bed. Nevertheless, they remained dedicated, patiently observing his stream as they carried on with their day. This was their unique way of demonstrating support for Xavier. Meanwhile, his chatbox remained quiet, with only sporadic messages from his fans engaging in casual chatter about various topics.

The entire cabin was equipped with 360-degree cameras, ensuring excellent visibility even at night, with the exception of the bathrooms, for obvious reasons. This meant that every room was under constant surveillance, allowing viewers to catch glimpses of their idols throughout the cabin. However, the cameras automatically deactivated precisely at midnight.

In contrast to the deserted stream in the cabin, Hera’s stream attracted viewers who had abandoned the other livestream room. They flocked to hers upon discovering her engaging tour. Initially, they anticipated Hera’s livestream to be dull, assuming she would only wander around the village. However, they were pleasantly surprised to find it akin to watching a captivating travel blog.

Hera consistently engaged with the animals on the farm, evoking varied reactions each time. Her latest endeavor involved horseback riding with remarkable skill. Additionally, her livestream room attracted VIPs, who occasionally sent gifts as a token of appreciation for her captivating content.

Who wouldn’t want to join in the fun then?

“Whoa! Whoa! Easy, Diamond,” Hera exclaimed as the horse came to a halt near the fence, its hooves clopping on the ground. The horse strutted closer to the fence, letting out a satisfied snort, its excitement palpable after a few nonstop laps around the track.

“Would you like to ride with me?” Hera asked Bry, whose initial fear seemed to have been replaced by excitement as he watched her race around the track like a professional. His eyes brightened with eagerness as he nodded eagerly.

As Bry climbed up the fence, Hera leaned closer to Diamond’s body to reach him. Once she got hold of his arms, she used her strength to pull him up onto the horse’s back.

Diamond instantly became uneasy, which also made Bry nervous. He remembered that he was about to ride the same horse that had thrown off his uncle.

Hera seated Bry in front of her, but Bry was visibly trembling, his initial excitement giving way to fear. Hera gently patted his shoulder, trying to calm him. “Relax, Bry. Diamond can feel your emotions,” she reassured him, her voice steady and soothing. Holding the reins tighter, she tried to pacify Diamond with her gentle touch. “Just hold on tight and look straight ahead. You’ll be fine.”

Bry nodded, but his trembling persisted, and his eyes remained half-closed. Sensing his unease, Hera wrapped her arm around his waist for added security while keeping a firm grip on the reins with her other hand. She ensured their position was secure before gently coaxing Diamond into a slow walk, which gradually picked up pace into a brisk stride.

As Hera sensed Bry loosening up, she exclaimed, “Giddyup!” Diamond responded by breaking into a run, not as fast as before but still moving swiftly. Initially, Bry let out a high-pitched scream, but as he began to feel the rush of wind against his face and witnessed the sunset on the horizon while they raced around the track, his fear transformed into exhilaration.

As Bry felt the rush of adrenaline, he surrendered to the moment, letting go of thoughts about the accident or his fear. Hera couldn’t contain her joy, a soft smile gracing her lips, perfectly captured by the cameraman as they swept past his position.

[AuntiNextDoor: I had a feeling that I’d need my tool. Haha!!! I was not wrong!!! I got another SS of my little sister!!!]

[HeraismySister: Damn!!! she looked so beautiful back there!!!! I even had an illusion that she was Prince Charming!!! Urg!!! I’m turning gay for my sister, MY GOD!!!!]

[NorthernDuke: I don’t care if you turned gay, but don’t target someone else’s wife… (╬ Ò ‸ Ó)🔪]

[HeraismySister: ….]

[GoldenLight: It’s okay if you turned delusional @NorthernDuke but she’s no one else’s wife…]

[EntertainmentKing: FUCKING DELUSIONAL!!!]

[FatherOfCaduceus: Delusional…]

[Dave_Carson: Kids, stop fighting…]

[EntertainmentKing: Shut up and start working!]

[Dave_Carson: ╰(⇀︿⇀)つ-]═─── @EntertainmentKing]

After a few rounds of exhilarating runs on the track, Hera carefully helped Bry down from Diamond and then began leading the horse back to the stable. However, Diamond seemed reluctant to call it a day.

“Don’t worry, big guy, we’ll have another run soon,” Hera reassured as she stroked its neck. Though Diamond huffed in dissatisfaction, it ultimately acquiesced to Hera’s gentle urging and made its way back to the stable.

After ensuring that Diamond was safely back in its stall, Hera checked to see if the horse had eaten the food she had left out. Satisfied that Diamond was settled and fed, she then sent Bry and his brother back on their way home before returning to the main cabin with Zen.

Hera and Zen strolled back to the cabin, engrossed in conversation about Hera’s experience of horseback riding and her feelings during the exhilarating ride. Their dialogue flowed easily, and they both seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.

“It was your fault, Hera!!!” Hera and Zen were startled by the sudden shout as they approached the cabin. They couldn’t help but look back to see who the owner of the voice was.

“It’s your fault!!!” She repeated, her voice carrying a mix of frustration and accusation.

“What’s my fault now?” Hera asked, raising her eyebrows in confusion.

Hera surveyed the scene in front of the cabin, noting the somber expressions on everyone’s faces as they huddled together.

“You’re the one who encouraged Alice to look for Xavier. And now, Alice is in tears because Xavier got angry at her… She’s such a good girl, but she was humiliated because of you!”

“Minerva, stop!” Minerva was pulled back, but she struggled fiercely against the hold.

“Don’t stop me, Alexi! She did it on purpose, I’m telling you!!!”

Indeed, Alexi and Minerva were unexpected additions to the show, a fact Hera had discovered only that morning. Seeing them was the last thing she wanted, and engaging with them was even less appealing. What didn’t make sense was that there should have been only one vacancy after a guest withdrew due to the accident.

However, now there were two additional individuals who weren’t supposed to be part of the show. They hadn’t taken any actions against her since their arrival, prompting Hera to turn a blind eye to their presence. But it seemed they were the ones seeking conflict.

However, what added to the confusion was the presence of the original female lead from the novel. It didn’t make sense. Did this mean that Hera’s speculations and theories were completely off the mark?

Since her arrival that morning, Hera had been grappling with this question, tirelessly seeking answers. However, the more events unfolded, the more complicated and bewildering everything became. She found herself lost in a maze of confusion, unsure of where to even begin searching for clarity.
