Chapter 378: Hyperion Doesn’t Know How Simple the Capital Is

Under the night sky, the huge screen of the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation building emits white light, reflecting the hustle and bustle on the ground to the sky.

The audio and video playing on the screen was a street interview not far from the building, and the picture was occupied by Rocky McCarthy who suddenly walked into the frame.

His words were clear and powerful, and as he spoke, his eyes slowly swept across the crowd around him, as if silently telling everyone that we need more patience and more understanding.

The people around him began to exchange glances awkwardly; their original dissatisfaction and hostility melted away in his words, and they began to echo each other.

"Mr. McCarthy is right."

“We may have been too impulsive.”

"I'm really sorry. I just said that there would be no students at the Protoss Royal School of Magic who would oppose Rocky McCarthy."

Apologetic whispers began to be heard among the crowd, and a chaotic chorus of voices tried to explain to him and the two girls. Some voices were filled with enlightenment, while others were filled with concern. A few words and a few sincere descriptions expressed their misunderstanding and guilt.

The atmosphere became relaxed and everyone became extremely cooperative.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go back to school."

After solving the problem, he turned to the two girls who were originally trapped in the crowd behind him, and spoke to them with fatherly care and leadership responsibility.

After a brief conversation with the reporter, Lanci said goodbye and prepared to leave this pacified place and return to his school. He still had official duties to attend to, and this week might be his busiest and most fulfilling week.

Just as he turned around and started to take the first step, he suddenly felt his arm being gently grabbed.

Lanqi's steps stopped abruptly, an unexpected surprise flashed across his face, he turned his head and his eyes fell on the girl who was holding his arm tightly.

“…”

She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with subtle tension and determination, perhaps wanting to express unspoken gratitude, or wanting to convey some private words to him.

"Student, do you need my help?"

Lanqi's expression quickly changed from surprise to a calm listening posture. He spoke softly with a hint of helplessness but politeness.

This little episode made the crowd around quiet down again, waiting to see what would happen next.

The unexpected bravery of the aristocratic girl from the Milford family caught the political celebrity at this time and once again became a striking focus in the interview camera tonight.

“…”

Surrounded by onlookers and video equipment, her eyes seemed to want to convey something, but she was unable to open her mouth. She just held Lanqi's arm tighter and tighter, afraid that he would run away.

It's like if I don't take this opportunity to convey it to him, it might be difficult to see him again in the future.

This confused Lanqi and he gradually began to feel a little unhappy.

He really didn't like being touched by others.

"Hello, if there is anything, please tell me."

Although his voice was calm, it was loud enough for those around him to notice, and it also made the girl feel that her behavior had attracted attention.

Anyone could understand this subtle signal - he thought the girl's behavior had slightly violated his personal boundaries.

If she continued to cross the line, he might have to signal the security guard nearby to intervene.

The noble lady's hand was still tightly grasping his arm, her eyes were filled with complex emotions, and there were many words crowded in her heart but she couldn't find the words out, and she hoped that he could find it soon.

The Countess of Milford might have realized at this moment that her emotional expression was a bit extreme, but the urgency to express herself still locked her firmly in place.

Her pupils, shining brightly like gemstones, reflected Lanqi's figure and changed with the changes in his eyes.

Lanqi was confused by this sudden emotion.

In the past two months in the Northern Continent, he was used to being in control and people following him, but at this moment, the girl in front of him stopped him in his tracks in a way that she wanted to restrain him.

There were people all around her, and she didn't dare to say anything. She could only look at Lanqi with tears in her eyes. It was a very faint breathing sound. If he was listening, he would definitely be able to detect it. Compared with anxiety and stubbornness, it was more of trust, and she was sure that he would be able to see who she was.

Sometimes even the smallest sounds can convey very meaningful messages.

I don't know why.

The woman's appearance was something she had never recognized before, and her voice was completely unknown. She was just playing a game of charades with herself.

Lanqi looked into the familiar eyes and felt something strange in his heart.

Just like my alienation from her at this moment was a very wrong thing to do.

Moreover, why was it so easy for her to touch him? Was he too slow, or was she too strong?

No way…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As the first drop of rain fell silently in the night sky, it seemed to open the floodgates of memory. Between the rain lines illuminated by the white light of the building's screen, the young man and the noble girl's eyes met, conveying each other's emotions.

The rain gradually got heavier. The crystal screen of the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation building flickered in the rain. The camera flash occasionally illuminated the faces of the two people.

There were no words, only eye contact. The unique tacit understanding between them made everyone around them feel that this was an unusual reunion. Even the recording equipment could not fully capture the deep meaning of that look. Lanqi's expression slowly changed from astonishment to calm.

"Is that you?"

Lanqi asked tentatively. Although he had no evidence, he had an intuition that the girl in front of him was the one he had been looking for in the imperial capital.

"...You finally recognized me."

Hyperion nodded, and her troubled brows finally relaxed gradually when she received Lanqi's response. Then she showed a relieved expression, and then a relieved smile.

When Hyperion looked up again, Lanci was looking at her with encouraging eyes. The alienation on his face was gone, and the optimism that was familiar to him in Ikerite returned to his face.

The reporter who had been watching from the side for a long time and had not left kept looking back and forth at the two men.

"...Excuse me, Mr. Rocky McCarthy, do you two know each other?"

He finally handed over the microphone nervously and asked the question. Based on his professional observation and logical analysis, this should be the case. The process just now had too strong a sense of déjà vu.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. We can hardly recognize each other."

Lanqi looked away, a smile on his face but his eyes lowered.

"Have the two young ladies from Milford just arrived in the imperial capital of Helrom today?"

The reporter from Protos Broadcasting Corporation understood something and asked.

"yes."

Michella nodded in confirmation.

The reporter showed a look of shock, but without asking any more questions, he understood what was going on - it turned out that Rocky McCarthy and the Countess of Milford had been separated for many years, and when they met again, they finally recognized each other as childhood sweethearts.

Originally, traveling far away from home to attend the famously strict Protoss Royal Academy of Magic and engaging in vicious competition with the young geniuses of the Protoss Empire was a dangerous journey full of challenges and tests. However, for Countess Milford, it became "That thing about my childhood sweetheart being the principal of the academy". What a Mary Sue plot!

Today is also the third update, working hard to pay off the debt! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
