“But…you escaped, didn’t you?”
Catherine’s voice became sharp: “I don’t know how you saved Beryl…do you know how important she is to me!?”
It seemed that this ‘witch’ couldn’t fully control the shadow to monitor in real time.
Su Lu sighed inwardly, but anger expressed on his face: “This is not the reason why you tried to murder Beryl before. You want to put the blame on me…and, you launched another attack last night. I will take this as a declaration of war against me and the forces behind me! ”
Don’t think I’m alone. I also have backers.
Su Lu, who comes from a family of Demon Hunters, thought to himself optimistically.
“The attack last night…is precisely why I’m here to talk to you today!” Catherine looked at Su Lu: “Where did you get the Gulam Text? You must know that fools often covet things that don’t belong to them, bringing disaster.”
‘She knew about it after all…’
Su Lu sighed inwardly.
That little fool Moli, as expected, snitched as soon as she returned.
Even unintentionally, it’s enough to kill people, let alone intentionally!
“It was passed down to me by my family, is there a problem?”
Su Lu, of course, would not admit what happened in the sewer, answering simply.
“Your family?”
A trace of suspicion surfaced on Catherine’s face.
“Yes…you can check it out. The Pottery family, the transcendent family that worships the Goddess of Light!”
Su Lu seemed very confident.
In fact, if Catherine really spent a lot of time and energy investigating, she would find that although the Pottery family does exist, it’s already in decline, with only a few members in this generation.
“I will investigate…if everything is proven to be true, I will apologize for what happened last night!”
Catherine winked at Su Lu.
Her amazing charm made Su Lu somewhat dazzled.
This was beyond ordinary beauty and involved a supernatural spiritual attraction.
Thinking this, he became more alert inside, but on the surface, he showed a standard lustful expression — thanks to Sean, as long as he follows him, he wouldn’t go wrong.
‘I must take action immediately!’
As Catherine left, Su Lu’s face turned dark immediately.
Today’s meeting ended rather well.
At least, he gathered a lot of information, and managed to temporarily fool Catherine with a mix of real and fake news.
But this woman, she won’t stop there.
‘Since even Catherine thinks Beryl is alive, then I can directly call the authorities to fight the evil!’ Su Lu sighed, ‘there’s just one thing… is there anything on Beryl that Catherine must have? Or would killing her benefit
Catherine?’
Su Lu looked at the pedestrians not far away, somewhat puzzled.
By this time, he had completed his studies and was to be expelled from school by the end of July, unburdened by classes.
After a short wait, Su Lu went directly to the Fight Club.
“Is it you?”
He was greeted by Angelia, who was visibly surprised.
“I’m here to see your president. We have an appointment.” Su Lu said, emotionless.
“I know, the president told me about it. Please follow me!”
Angelia led the way, lowering her voice: “How did you convince the president yesterday? Today’s fight club battle has been cancelled.”
“Personal secret! ”
At the corner of Su Lu’s mouth, a slight curve appeared. He did not expect Donald to be so efficient.
On the second floor of Fight Club, Donald had a small private office. It was not big but very stylishly decorated, with a deer skull specimen hanging on the wall.
Donald sat behind the desk, resting his chin on his hand as though pondering over a difficult problem.
Seeing the two walking in, he smiled: “Welcome, Su Lu! Angie, could you give us a moment?”
Clearly wanting to stay, Angie blushed under Donald’s gaze and left the room.
‘This female coach seems to have a crush on President Donald… It’s normal. After all, Donald is good-looking and capable.’
Su Lu silently watched this scene, guessing.
Snap!
With the mahogany door closed firmly, Donald got up, picked up a silver teapot aside, ‘Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Thank you!”
Su Lu took the cup, sipped the rich yet slightly bitter coffee: “We need to talk about the transcendent and your teacher!”
This was what they had agreed to discuss the previous night.
“If you want to seek help from my teacher, I’m sorry…” Donald made a-helpless gesture: “I can’t get in touch with him now.”
“The ones who attacked us last night, I’ve confirmed their identity. But the main issue is what we do next?” Su Lu puts down his coffee cup: “I’m a law-abiding citizen of the Federation, I can’t do anything against the law!”
St. George’s University is funded by the Goddess Church and has a deep background. Su Lu doesn’t believe that they can’t suppress one or two low-level transcendent beings.
As soon as he took revenge, it would cause too much commotion and lead to a situation where both sides would lose.
“Of course, we are all still students!”
Although he was quietly muttering internally, Donald agreed: “I though about it all last night. It’s impossible for us to deal with two transcendent beings with our current strength. We must seek external aid. Do you have any contacts in this area?”
“I might be able to ask my family for help, but they are too far away.”
Again, Su Lu intimidates Donald with a mention of his family connections, making himself seem backed up.
Furthermore, he conceals the fact that his aid, Rod, is probably close to Nia City.
This was his usual practice, always keeping a card up his sleeve.
“Family? The Pottery Family?”
Donald knocked on his head, seemingly recalling something, then he laughed bitterly: “You mean…we don’t know if the attackers will continue. So we have to strike back as soon as possible! I have some connections, and I can contact the higher-ups at school. If everything goes well, there will be good news this afternoon.”
“That’s great.”
Su Lu didn’t report the incident himself partly because it would be hard to explain.
Could he tell the police that a lady was manipulating shadows and trying to murder him? One would likely be sent for a mental evaluation immediately.
However, with Donald’s connections, things would be different.
With this thought, he looked at Donald, “Can I ask you a personal question? Why are you so enthusiastic about this?”
“It seems that the attackers’ target is likely you!”
Donald chuckled, and took a sip of coffee: “As for the reason why I am helping you, I have told you.. I want to be a Transcendent! And such opportunities are not common!”
