Chapter 101: Deadlock
Simon is dead.
He died in the bathtub and was initially thought to have drowned.
But when his body was dragged out, it was discovered that his body was covered with burn marks, his head was covered with a plastic bag, his tongue was pulled out, and his body seemed to have been dissected, with his internal organs thrown into the bathtub. In short, his death was horrible. It was obvious that the person who did it had tortured Simon in some way and finally killed him.
When Ajin arrived and saw what was happening, he vomited while holding onto the door. Simon's family was furious and indignant. It had taken their Skunk Clan years to train a child who could perform illusions, and they had put in so much effort. Simon's father was crying out for the school to be held accountable, and he was threatening to sue the school in federal court.
"We all said we would accept the school's punishment, but it's obvious that this was a student named Qiao. Someone from his family came to vent their anger and killed our child. Call that student out! I want his life in exchange for another's!"
"Yes, hand over that student!"
"The Oslan royal family is so great? I'm going to report it to the Federation and see if the Federation will do anything!"
When Anubis and Li Yi found Dr. Li, more than ten people from Simon's family had already arrived and were blocking Dr. Li's door, demanding justice.
Dr. Li was helpless. He put his hands behind his back and said to everyone with a sneer, "Go ahead and sue me. If you sue me, you will destroy your entire family."
"What are you talking about?" The people of the Simon family were furious.
"I told you you're unlucky. Simon abused his talent out of a competitive spirit, but his illusions are far from being fully controlled. Do you know how lethal illusions are? If she hadn't reacted quickly, the physical damage from the illusions would have been irreversible."
"So what? It's my child who's dead now, not him!"
"Yeah, is it wrong for us to seek justice?"
Simon's father stepped forward and said, "How about this? Hand over that student, and we won't cause any trouble for the school."
Before Dr. Li could say anything, Li Yi lost his temper and shouted from outside the crowd, "Why?"
He pushed several people aside, rushed to Dr. Li and shouted at everyone: "What did Joe do wrong? It was Simon who trapped him in the library and burned him with magma! I went to the library and checked. The soil on the ground will not lie to me. Although the illusion is removed, the land will not be usable for the next hundred years. The damage caused by the illusion is real, and it can also block the entire space. Joe couldn't even ask for help. He just wanted to bully Joe, but he was not as skilled as him and was beaten. And what evidence do you have to prove that it was Joe who had Simon killed? What does this have to do with him? You are slandering me!"
Anubis also looked around at everyone coldly, and after receiving Dr. Li's warning look, he slowly lowered his head.
Dr. Li said, "I understand your feelings. The school will arrange Simon's funeral and pay a certain amount of compensation. You can all go away. Believe me, if you continue to pursue this matter, it will be detrimental to your entire family."
The Simon family simply refused to listen, thinking Dr. Li was trying to smooth things over, so they left in anger. Before leaving, Simon's father said bitterly, "I will make that student named Qiao pay the price!"
Ajin sent everyone away and closed the door for Dr. Li. At this time, only Anubis and three others were left in the dean's office.
Dr. Li sighed, "What's going on between you two?"
Anubis asked, "Where's Joe?"
Dr. Li glanced at him, not knowing what he was thinking. Li Yi was impatient, and seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he hurriedly asked, "Dean, please tell us. We were so worried that we didn't sleep all night yesterday."
"She is safe now, but will not be coming to school in the short term."
Anubis asked again: "Is he hurt?"
Dr. Li, who was always pleasant to others, turned stern and said, "This is not your concern."
Anubis understood the hidden meaning behind his words, and his eyes dimmed. Li Yi muttered from the side, "We're all classmates, so why not show some concern for each other?"
"Okay, Li Yi, go back first. I want to talk to Bi alone."
"Oh." Li Yi walked away reluctantly, and before leaving, he winked at Anubis and told him to fend for himself.
After the people left, Dr. Li stood up from the solid wooden chair, walked over and patted the boy on the shoulder.
"Bi, since I've been entrusted by your father, I will definitely take good care of you. You also know the responsibilities on your shoulders. Uncle reminds you not to be distracted by other things or other people."
Anubis lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I won't."
Dr. Li felt a little relieved and asked, "How is your training now?"
"I can control it now. I don't go into a frenzy as often as before."
Dr. Li was very pleased. "Good, as long as you can keep your mind steady, there is hope that you can overcome the violence in your genes. Bi, you are the last hope of the wolf clan."
Anubis stood quietly, returning to his usual gloomy demeanor. Perhaps it was because he had lived such a fulfilling and happy life during this period that he had the illusion that this was his life.
In fact, nothing has changed.
Qiao Susu's sudden departure pulled him away from this ordinary happiness.
He is still the Anubis Connor who always has to keep his mission in mind, not the Anubis who lives a simple life in school with friends.
-
Oslan, the Royal Court.
Qiao Susu was placed in a brand new palace, which was prepared for her by Liberi long ago. Everything inside was arranged according to the highest royal standards.
The servant pushed a small cart in which six little deer were curled up together and snuggling with each other. It was their nap time.
Qiao Suisui touched the cute little fawn and lamented that when she returned here again, some things and people had changed.
When she first came here, she just wanted to leave this world as soon as possible, but now she has many concerns that cannot be cut off.
"Why are you daydreaming?"
Liberi's voice came from behind. Qiao Suisui turned around and saw the man coming over and hugging her from behind.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Wondering how your talks with the Federation went?"
Libery paused for a moment and then said, "I won't let anyone take you away from me."
Qiao Suisui asked, "They want me to go back to Sote, right?"
Liberi tucked her hair behind her ears and gently stroked her face. "I ceded a quarter of Osland to Soth, and they said they would consider your proposal to stay here."
"Ash," Qiao Suisui said, pinching his sleeve. "I disagree. You've just become the new Sun, and the relationship between Oslan and Sote is already strained. If you give the land to Sote, what will the people of the Empire think of you? How will you convince them in the future?"
Just as he was about to convince him, he heard the guard come in panic and report: "Sun, Soter's men are here and want to see Miss Qiao."
Libery frowned, "Who?"
"He said his name was Munakata."
