The room on the other side was shrouded in darkness, with only a lamp providing weak light at the entrance door.

Beyond the limit of light, pitch-black darkness overwhelmed everything. As time went by, the moonlight was hidden in the clouds, gradually becoming deeper and deeper, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.

A figure stopped at the end of the dimly lit corridor and stood there for a long time.

He could barely tell that it was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

With his slightly pale hair, wrinkled skin, and kind expression, anyone can see that he is a kind scholar.

Those who are familiar with him call him Ruslan Barnet. He is the vice-principal of Midgar Academy and also Shirley’s nominal father.

The pupils under the lenses stared thoughtfully at the door in front of him.

Shirley, who usually came back on time, was broken for the first time in several years.

"Did she discover something due to today's arrangements?"

Lu Silan couldn't help but think of what happened today.

"No, if he guesses that I did it, he will definitely come to question me instead of disappearing like now." Lu Silan murmured to himself.

Thinking about it carefully, he finally saw Shirley's research completed. In order to get the item he dreamed of, he still acted too hastily, leaving many hidden dangers.

It's just that he didn't understand why the few people he sent out didn't even send back any information and just stopped hearing anything.

He was puzzled.

"But it doesn't matter. Now that we have clear information, our playing house can only go so far, Shirley."

Lu Silan made up his mind and looked towards the shadow area.

"Have you made arrangements for tomorrow?"

The grinning young man slowly walked out.

"Of course, old man, we have been cooperating for so long, and we still need to have the most basic credibility."

The young man said: "After starting the action, rush all the students to the stadium. It has a wide view and is best for defense. Have you thought about how to deal with Her Royal Highness Alice and her knights? You know, although we have many people, we are not strong enough." But not strong."

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Lu Silan nodded calmly.

"That's good. By the way, under what name do you plan to carry out this operation?"

Thinking of the big action that was about to take place, the young man licked his lips, bloodthirsty murderous intent flashing through his eyes.

"In the name of the Shadow Courtyard," Lu Silan said after thinking.

"Shadow Courtyard? What a strange name. Is it famous?" the young man said disdainfully.

Lu Silan said meaningfully.

"They are relatively well-known in the ears of some people. Recently, they have been intercepting and killing Holy Church bishops, especially when they investigated a lot of secrets, which made some people unhappy. Even if the final result of the incident was not done by the Shadow Courtyard, people with intentions can This incident will be concluded and the extermination will be carried out legally."

The young man clicked his tongue and said.

"You make the arrangements. Anyway, it's just a cover. I don't want to continue to be wanted by the country."

"That's right." The young man thought of something and looked at the middle-aged old man maliciously.

"I found out the information you asked for, about where your nominal daughter is."

Lu Silan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. For some reason, under his indifferent gaze, the young man felt heavy pressure.

The young man didn't show off and said directly. "She went into Rod Cagenor's room."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man looked at Lu Silan jokingly.

"A man and a widow live together in the same room, old man. I don't need to tell you what's going to happen next, right?"

The young man laughed, but when he saw the expressionless Lu Silan, he suddenly felt bored.

"I'm leaving. There is some key information about the recovery of ancient cultural relics in her hand. I will get it. How are you going to solve her problem?"

Seeing that Lu Silan still had no expression on his face, the young man grinned: "I understand, you can do whatever you want from now on...right?"

Lu Silan looked deeply at the young man and said calmly: "Her value is gone. I only want my things. If you miss her again, you know the consequences."

The young man's gaze was sharp. Although everyone in the college thought that Lu Silan, as the vice president of the college, was a scholar whom everyone respected, only he knew what kind of ruthless person Lu Silan was behind the scenes.

The young man left, and Lu Silan also turned around and left, taking out his things from the room and getting ready.

In the early morning, in Ron's room, Shirley's eyelashes moved.

"Unfamiliar ceiling..."

Shirley was at a loss for a moment, and the memories of yesterday suddenly came back like a flood. She turned her head and saw that Rhodes, who was originally beside her, disappeared, and she was the only one left in the huge room.

Inexplicably, I always felt lost.

"It's true, the person who promised to protect me is gone."

Shirley murmured. Although she thought so, she had no intention of blaming Rhodes.

After being in a daze in his room for a few minutes, Shirley remembered that she still had classes to attend today, so she got out of bed, opened the door with a guilty conscience, and stuck out her little head.

The walkways were deserted.

Fortunately, everyone is going to class now, otherwise another big news might break out tomorrow.

"Very good, no one is around!"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously nothing happened, but she didn't know why she was not confident enough, so she could only tiptoe out of the boys' dormitory.

After a tense and exciting journey, they returned to class. The classmates were just surprised that Shirley, a good girl, would be late one day, so they didn't pay too much attention and looked away.

Shirley didn't pay attention to them, and came to her seat. Her petite body leaned on the seat, her face listless, and she fell into a state of wandering, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sir Rhodes, I have dealt with all the villains who spied on you last night."

On the rooftop of the college, New bowed respectfully. Not far in front of her, Rhodes stood on the edge of the rooftop, taking in all the scenery.

His hooded sweatshirt was blown by the wind and waves, but his figure remained motionless.

At least in Niu's eyes, he clearly had the posture of a young man, but he showed an unusual calmness.

"You seem to value that girl very much?"

New stood on the side behind Rod and looked along Rod's line of sight. From this position, he could see Shirley's every move after she came out of the room.

Including the scene where she hunched over like a kitten and moved forward cautiously, New unexpectedly found her cute.

"I don't care about it, I just think it will be interesting." Rhodes smiled slightly.

"interesting?"

Seeing that Rhodes didn't explain, New could only suppress his confusion and wait respectfully beside Rhodes.

"I have a show to watch this afternoon. When the time comes, you will stay with me." Rhode said suddenly.

"yes!"

New looked extremely excited. Being able to be by Rhodes' side, in her eyes, means that Rhodes has accepted her, which is her honor!
