160: Chapter 103: Really Not a Single Drop Left_2 160: Chapter 103: Really Not a Single Drop Left_2 “No, really, the teacher has co, and so has your father, Mister Lando; even the butler gan is here,” Wayne struggled to get up, fearing that if the old scher saw this scene, she’d send over another wave of golden curls to seduce him.
Last ti it was soone he knew, seduction only halfway triggered, next ti it might be another big star, he feared he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from submitting to them.
Wayne’s struggle was so fierce that Veronica nearly got flipped over; surprised by his strength, she pressed down on his shoulders and firmly sat back down.
“Veronica, get up, they’re really here.”
“Shut up, I’ve told you not to try and fool , it’s no use whoever cos today.”
About ten seconds later, the Lundans arrived at the battleground, along with the butler, gan.
It was a sight hard to witness: Veronica pinning Wayne down on the ground while he struggled vehently, almost on the verge of tears.
“…”x3
“…”x2
Veronica stood up expressionlessly, dusted off her clothes, and without saying a word headed toward the pitch-black corridor.
Her pace quickened as she walked, faster and faster.
On the other side, Hefei covered her mouth with her hand, gan carefully glanced at Austin, who had a long face, dark and elongated.
“Teacher, Mister Lando, what brings you here?”
Wayne quickly scrambled up, his fair face turning red as he explained, “It’s not what you’re thinking, Veronica and I were just ssing around, I just snatched her snacks.”
Austin twitched the corner of his mouth; he had made the sa kind of explanation back in his day.
Hefei had a complicated expression, it was good, but…
was it not too fast?
Young people should still prioritize their studies.
After a brief calm, Hefei worked through the misunderstanding that wasn’t a misunderstanding, handling it like business and inquiring about the situation on Dragonheart Island.
“It’s the Evil God, the faith of blood, he made a deal with the Bart Family and found a body to descend into…”
Wayne narrated the causes and consequences, from the deals the Bart Family made with the devils, to Veronica and the Dragon Blood, to the Ancient God worshipped by the Sea God Society, not leaving out a single detail.
There was no need to hide this part; if he didn’t say it, Kel would.
Seeing the Lundans rushing over, Wayne knew that Kel had the report ready.
Wayne rely omitted his own storyline, attributing the credit for defeating the Evil God to the knight, Valkyrie.
There were no eyewitnesses at the ti, the involved Evil God had been expelled, and as long as Valkyrie didn’t speak up, no one would know it was Wayne who saved everyone.
Valkyrie would definitely not speak up; Wayne had discussed it with her in advance.
Being too new and weak, she focused on developnt.
Too much attention would only bring unnecessary trouble.
Logical and justified, Valkyrie agreed.
Wayne recounted quickly, having prepared and morized his lines well in advance.
Hefei wanted to ask for details but was stopped by Austin shaking his head.
The environnt was too poor, they would find a better place to sit down and talk slowly.
…
Beachside villa by the sea.
Hefei took her daughter to the second floor to check her body, while in the living room center, two dark-haired n sat opposite each other, both poised and dignified.
In a tal box beside them were a set of knight’s armor and a knight’s sword.
Valkyrie was a disassemblable female knight in the box, ready to be packed up and carried away in a suitcase when needed.
The butler gan brought over so black tea, silently serving a cup each to the master and the young master before retreating to the back of the sofa, without making a single sound.
Ignoring gan’s actions, it was the first ti Wayne and Austin had been alone together, with no awkward small talk, neither uttering a word.
In a way, this was an understanding; there was nothing to say, just looking was annoying enough.
As ti ticked by, gan watched the two n intently, speculating on who would break the silence first.
“Wayne, let’s go fishing!”
It was Vee who broke the silence, surprising gan who hadn’t anticipated it.
Vee ca into the living room with her usual infectious laugh, toning it down when she saw Austin was also present, politely addressing him as uncle.
Austin’s smile blood, his attitude towards Vee very warm.
Veronica didn’t have many friends.
Since Hefei had gone to Paris, her smiles had beco rarer day by day, and her personality grew progressively colder.
Vee was one of the rare few who could penetrate Veronica’s icy façade, also being her college roommate; Austin was very fond of this junior.
Today was no exception, and he liked her even more.
Seeing Wayne being pulled away by Vee, acting exceptionally intimate, clearly beyond just friends, Austin first despised the lecherous pretty boy but then pretended to see nothing, silently encouraging Vee to intensify her pursuit, preferably to succeed imdiately.
Young girl, trust your eyes, you’ve indeed chosen a fine man.
His heartfelt congratulations were limited to soone else’s daughter; it’s not painful when it’s not your own.
If it were his own daughter, Austin certainly wouldn’t say the sa.
After the two left, Austin turned his gaze to the tal box in the corner and frowned deeply.
The knight of the Sun Goddess…
The situation in Lundan was getting ssier.
————
Hefei, the High Priest of the Church, had a busy schedule.
Only the excuse of investigating the descent of the Evil God allowed for a rare outing; she wouldn’t stay on Dragonheart Island for long.
After confirming Veronica was unhard and her bloodline even purer, Hefei returned to the underground aqueduct to check the Magic Array for Dragon Blood Reconstruct to see if a bit more could be squeezed out.
Dragonheart Island: Not a single drop was left.
As for the faith in the Ancient God of the Sea God Society, Hefei actually didn’t give it much importance.
The Ancient God was an elusive legend found only in books, a very ancient faith lacking practical reference value.
Marking a dangerous location, she only needed to report it to the Church headquarters.
Not valuing sothing didn’t an it was unimportant—in fact, quite the opposite.
It was so important that whether or not an Ancient God appeared, the Magic Realm basically adopted a laid-back attitude.
