Archibald's face was still sowhat pale.
Seeing that John had not left yet, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad I caught up with you. Big brother, where are you headed? Take with you, please."
Leopold, with a serious expression, nodded slightly to indicate that no matter what, they would go together.
John couldn't help but feel a mix of amusent and worry at the sight of the two.
He sowhat understood their concern, but knew that they were hardly in a position to take care of themselves right now.
"Forget it, both of you aren't in great health. You better rest. This trip is for my own reasons, unrelated to school matters."
The incident at Rose Bar had already dragged them in, and any further unexpected troubles could end badly for everyone involved.
When Archibald heard this, he beca anxious, quickly insisting that they could go together.
"Big brother, you're not well either. If you go alone, who knows what troubles you might encounter. Let's go together; I promise there won't be any problems!"
"Yes, big brother, we'll go with you. Even if sothing does happen, we can help you."
Determined, both made up their minds to accompany John this ti.
John sighed.
"Alright, if you two really want to help , then do a thorough investigation here in the Imperial Capital. Given the severity of the situation this ti, soone must know sothing. Look for any clues you can find."
After all, everyone they had seen in that basent was either wealthy or noble, so even high-ranking individuals, which was the most astonishing part to John.
If such high-level individuals were involved, who knew what else might be lurking behind the scenes?
The two exchanged glances, seeing hesitation in each other's eyes.
Naturally, they would have preferred to leave with John if possible.
However, considering their current poor health, following him might only cause more trouble.
They had co today hoping to be of so assistance, but were decidedly rejected, leaving them feeling sowhat dejected.
"Alright, you two stay and help out at the school. See if Principal Sophia needs anything. Be specific, I'll still need to teach when I get back."
Archibald seed about to say more but ultimately left, looking back three tis with each step, aware that John was certainly going to rescue a friend.
Watching the car pull away left them feeling lancholy.
"If we were in danger, would Big Brother co to save us like this?"
Archibald suddenly blurted out, prompting Leopold to roll his eyes.
"Isn't that obvious?"
If Big Brother really didn't care about them, he wouldn't have saved them ti and again in the secret realm.
What kind of person was Big Brother?
They knew him better than anyone else, though they never spoke much about it.
While he might appear stern to others, only they understood that Big Brother was more approachable and gentler than anyone else.
"I just hope Big Brother cos back safely this ti," Leopold couldn't help but sigh.
Though they said little, both understood well enough.
Big Brother's insistence on them not accompanying him wasn't just due to concern for their health; it was also because this mission was genuinely perilous.
No one knew what might happen or what the circumstances would be.
If they fell into danger again, John surely wouldn't be at ease.
As the car started, John keenly felt two gazes fixed on him.
Turning around, he saw that Silver Tear and Dark Fox had been watching him intently for so ti, their expressions inexplicably strange.
"What are you staring at for? If you have sothing to say, just say it."
Silver Tear hesitated before speaking with so uncertainty.
"You seem to have a good relationship with them."
John felt it was a bit out of the blue but nodded in agreent nonetheless.
"But if I rember correctly, weren't you initially t with hostility when you first arrived here? The noble sons from these families didn't exactly welco you with open arms."
Indeed, when John first arrived, there were many rumors swirling around him.
The most prevalent was that John was the league's foremost talent, especially after he had killed Rean, and the young master of House Carter had died because of him.
House Carter had spread these rumors intending to turn everyone against John.
With so many talents and noble families around, they would never allow a commoner with no background to surpass them.
House Carter's tactics were initially successful.
Before the academy evaluations, many were quite dissatisfied with John.
A commoner from the most remote area, how could he be the league's top talent?
That was why John had been targeted by so many in the secret realm.
However, John later proved his worth through his own abilities, demonstrating he was not undeservedly acclaid.
In fact, he truly possessed the talent to save everyone!
Archibald and Leopold were pri examples of this.
John smiled, his eyes sparkling with a distinctive light as he looked at Silver Tear.
"Sotis, in the face of absolute power, all sches and plots are useless."
Even if House Carter had their so-called strategies, this ti, John had saved the entire league's younger generation!
Because of this act, he transford from an easy target everyone wanted to pick on, to the savior of the league's youth.
The debt of life he had incurred was considerable, no matter where you were.
Thus, even if House Carter wanted to take action against him again, they wouldn't dare.
Their family would not be foolish enough to oppose the entire league!
Dark Fox seed to understand John's current standing and smiled slightly.
"The captain is right, as always. No matter what problems arise, you always manage to resolve them promptly."
However, as he spoke, Dark Fox felt a tinge of lancholy.
If the captain were here, they wouldn't have to worry so much now.
Silver Tear, too, seed to think of Victor's dire situation, his expression becoming unnaturally strained.
John gazed out the window, aware that they would soon be leaping between stars.
The beauty of the cosmos was unmatched; despite the darkness outside, countless stars twinkled ceaselessly.
The light, emitted millions of years ago, now finally reached their eyes, while in the unseen depths of the universe, many planets continuously exploded and reford.
These were events beyond their control.
Yet, there were catastrophes they could avert.
No matter why Victor had gone to Alkaid, they needed to find him—alive or dead, they had to see him.
John was determined to find Victor, even if it ant bringing back only his body for a proper burial.
"Get so rest now. Once we reach Alkaid, there won't be much ti for rest."
