Principal Vagado's office, which had fallen into silence following Leila Lopez's words, was interrupted by the sound of a chair falling.
Wentworth turned his head to look to his side, and saw Emma Hughes, who came with him, standing up trembling all over, and behind Emma Hughes, her chair had fallen to the ground.
Emma Hughes said in a trembling voice: "Principal Leila Lopez, you...what do you mean? How could our Vagado...how could it be...destroyed?!"
Seeing this, Leila Lopez stood up, walked over slowly, and personally helped Emma Hughes pick up the chair that she had fallen on, and then helped Emma Hughes sit down. After doing all this, Leila Lopez looked at Wentworth quietly and said, "How to destroy it depends on what the wizard next to you thinks. Am I right, Wentworth?"
Seeing this, Wentworth couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It can be said that the originally planned rhetoric was of no use at this moment. Leila Lopez's opening remarks directly disrupted all of Wentworth's plans.
Facing Leila Lopez's calm and deep eyes, Wentworth suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in Leila Lopez, which was the feeling Wentworth once had when facing Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore's eyes made Wentworth feel that he could see into his own heart, while Leila Lopez's eyes made Wentworth feel that she could see into the future.
Thinking of this, Wentworth couldn't help but curse in his heart: These old foxes, this is clearly the growth story of a young demon king, how did it become a passionate show for the elderly? ! Although he was cursing in his heart, Wentworth still smiled and said:
"I don't understand what you mean, Principal Leila Lopez!"
Seeing this, Leila Lopez smiled slightly, but Wentworth felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile. Leila Lopez then continued:
"Although I don't know why, but just now, when you rang the doorbell of the principal's office, the starry sky told me that you are the wizard who brought destruction and rebirth to Uagadu! Although I was also surprised that this person was not Albus, but this is the fact!"
"Tell me what you mean, Wentworth!"
Hearing Leila Lopez say this, Wentworth touched his nose awkwardly and said with a wry smile:
"You've made me wonder what to say, Principal Leila Lopez!"
After hearing what Wentworth said, Leila Lopez said nonchalantly:
"Don't know how to start? Then let me start for you! Did Emma Hughes tell you that I was working with the Conni tribe to resell the herbs grown by Wagadu, which were originally used for students' practice?"
Hearing Leila Lopez's blunt words, Wentworth was stunned again, and Emma Hughes hurriedly wanted to stand up to explain something, but was held down by Leila Lopez.
While Wentworth was stunned, Leila Lopez said to Emma Hughes with a smile:
"Emma, when you heard the conversation between me and Joseph Connie in the secret room, you should have been in the fourth grade, right? As a witch in the fourth grade, do you think you can hide it from me? Although I am a failed principal, I am at least a powerful wizard!"
"Principal, you...you found me?!"
Leila Lopez nodded slowly and said, "Of course I noticed you. Although Joseph Kony didn't notice anything, this is Vagado after all, and I'm the principal of Vagado. How could I not notice that someone else had sneaked into the secret room!"
After hearing what Leila Lopez said, Emma Hughes was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked: "Then why didn't you chase me away at that time?"
Hearing Emma Hughes' question, Wentworth couldn't help but shook his head and cursed him as a fool, but Leila Lopez explained patiently:
"Silly girl, if I had called you out at that time, with the style of Joseph Kony and the Kony tribe, you would not have been able to see the stars that night!"
After hearing Leila Lopez's explanation, Emma Hughes suddenly realized what was going on. Then, a few tears welled up in her eyes, but she shouted:
"Then why did you do this? Why did you do this? Not only the herbs, but more importantly, the admission quota to Uagadu! How can you sell this kind of thing? Do you know that the inscription stone given by the Dream Messenger is the lifelong hope of many wizards? You sold their hope and their future!"
Facing Emma Hughes's almost roaring voice, Leila Lopez just listened quietly until Emma Hughes sobbed softly. Leila Lopez then patted Emma Hughes' shoulder, turned to look at Wentworth, and said softly:
"Wentworth, guess why I did this?"
Wentworth, who had been sitting aside in silence, slowly spoke up after hearing Leila Lopez's question: "People are in a hurry just for a few pieces of silver. But these few pieces of silver can solve all the worries in the world! I guess the reason why Principal Leila Lopez did this was for money, right?"
After hearing Wentworth's answer, Emma Hughes spoke first:
"Of course I know it's for money! But, you are already the principal of Vagado, why do you need so much money?! At the opening ceremony, I clearly remember that you warned us that the magical world is vast and endless, and we can never explore the end in a lifetime! Could it be that now, even you have begun to covet material enjoyment?!"
Hearing Emma Hughes' words, Leila Lopez suddenly laughed, and then she said with a smile:
"Emma, I'm so happy that you still remember what I said. You must remember it. As long as you don't forget this, one day you will become a world-renowned potion master!"
"As for me..."
Before Leila Lopez could finish, Wentworth interrupted her and said, "It is precisely because Ms. Leila Lopez is the principal of Uagadou that she needs more money! School is a bottomless pit of money! Am I right? Principal Leila Lopez!"
However, before Leila Lopez could answer, Emma Hughes shook her head suddenly after hearing Wentworth's words, and said, "I once said this to myself, but I can't convince myself! Why didn't other principals do such a thing in the millennium inheritance of Uagadu? But when it comes to her, she wants to sell out the interests of Uagadu, and even the foundation of Uagadu!"
