outside of direct combat.The vampires, gradually recovering in the world, are able to devour the Creysian Empire at an unimaginable rate, and during this process, Count Sebellarna is likely constantly...Chapter 41: Lanqi's Bad Start

After Ranchi's words fell, the classroom at the back of the spacious staircase in the first grade of the Wise Men's Academy was suddenly filled with a tense standoff. It seemed that all sounds were frozen in the air, leaving only this oppressive, pervasive, and unbroken silence.

Even the sunlight streaming in through the windows outside the classroom seemed to have dulled somewhat.

Other students now sat with a variety of expressions, some gazing out the window, ears perked as if listening intently. Some pretended to focus on their books, heads bowed, while others turned around in their seats, looking directly back at

.

No matter what, they all quietly ate the gossip from the back row.

Even the melon-eating students finally knew how despicable Lance is!

The first thing he said was actually a trick question!

Only after successfully prompting Mor Dan into habitually making sarcastic remarks was the subsequent legal warning issued.

At this moment, Moran's face was as dark as a pot, not uttering a word. He felt like he had been played by Lance.

After a few brief yet seemingly long seconds.

How old are you this year

Finally, Lance broke the silence and spoke again.

Mordan didn't understand what Ranch meant by asking his age, so he didn't answer Ranch.

Or perhaps Mordean is simply unwilling to answer Lanche's questions anymore.

He is 19.

Hubert told Lance.

She probably understood Lance's intentions a little bit. After several interactions, she realized that Lance's thought process wasn't entirely incomprehensible; it was just that most people found it difficult to keep up.

Lanche did some quick calculations and looked at Modena:

"You'll be able to come out at age 27."

""

Mordan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Ranch meant.

Lancy didn't sound like he was threatening him in slang. He seemed genuinely calculating how many years of prison, at least eight, he could get for the defendant as the plaintiff's attorney.

"Ugh…"

Lancer yawned again and lazily flopped back onto the table, then winked at Moran with his left eye.

As if I had just made a small joke with Mo Dan.

However.

This friendly and non-aggressive demeanor, in Modan's eyes at this moment, only felt like his blood pressure was soaring!

Mordan's pupils trembled slightly, his eyes like a dynamite barrel poised to explode. Though his facial muscles remained still, his throat was clenched tight, as if trying to suppress the surge of anger from erupting in uncontrolled words.

"Perhaps you should wait and see if the Duchess inherits the House of Alansar first. Otherwise, everything is just wishful thinking."

Mo Dan finally managed to suppress the burning rage and impulse that felt like it was being fueled by a demon.

"Lanny Wilford, if you don't want the Wilford Trading Company to get dragged into this, best stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong."

He glared at the slack-jawed Lynch with cold eyes, his voice a low growl of threat.

Ranch heard this and frowned slightly.

"That is to say... if I continue to help Huberlian, you'll find a way to bring down the Wilfort Trading Company"

"Yes, we the House of Sigsberg, have ways to legally merge your entire company for a minimal cost."

Mordan was now extremely cautious in his words and actions.

He knows that Lynch's question just now was to try and lead him into revealing the "criminal evidence" prematurely again.

But to resort to the same old tricks is obviously ugly.

Mordant smiled coldly in his heart, he was sure that with his own power he had plenty of ways to handle this self-righteous border boy.

For example, he couldn't possibly not care about his own Wilford Trading Company!

The next second is possible.

Mordecai would never have imagined——

Lanche was staring straight at him, as if he had seen a savior.

This truly heartfelt expectant gaze couldn't help but give Mordant a chill.

""

Where would a normal person find such an inexpressible joy upon hearing that their family business is under threat

What did your father do to you growing up, that you hate the Wilfort family so much!

"Warfare is about the victor taking all, and the vanquished getting nothing. If you can swallow your pride and accept defeat, just do it. There's no need to inform me."

Lanche shrugged, closing his eyes and feigning indifference.

Mordan took a deep breath, and he finally felt a surge of exasperation.

"Lanche Wilford, all talk and no substance. Your true capabilities will soon be exposed in the shadow realm. I hope you don't bring shame upon yourself and the entire kingdom. Many are watching."

Mordan also realized that Lanchi, with his disregard for all familial ties, was practically a demon!

No wonder she gets along with Huberlienne.

"Hubrian, may your mud-ship sink with your grand dreams of spring and autumn to the bottom of the sea."

Having uttered those words, Moran turned and left with a sinister expression.

Mordan's words were filled with conviction.

Because he knew that if Hupperlianne wanted to become stronger and increase her chances of finding her father, she would have to beg him and submit to him.

One day she will understand and come to him.

……

After Mo Dan left, there were still many subtle noises rippling through the classroom.

Some sharp-eyed students realized that Lanci's accusations against Moran just now could be epoch-making.

Because there are many well-known universities in South America, from their founding to the present day, there has never been a precedent of successfully prosecuting students from the same school.

Once Lanche got this bad habit started, Huberly hired him as a lawyer to threaten Mordane.

Then the atmosphere of this Ethereal Magic Academy is very likely to be swayed by Lance.

In the past, if students had irreconcilable conflicts, they mostly went to the arena or a life-protected artificial shadow world to fight.

If it comes down to it, let's get serious. Raise the stakes and have a duel that matters, a fight for our pride.

But, with Lanchi's demonstration, students will gradually discover——

Any campus conflict or dispute, try to send the opponent directly to jail is the most effective and efficient way!

The back of the classroom.

"Alas— "

Huberley finally smiled helplessly.

From the moment she laid eyes on Lance, she felt that he was both serious and absurd.

If he were to be an opponent, he would inevitably be a super rookie.

But if it's a teammate, then it's definitely the most reassuring and beautiful new beginning.

"Lance, thank you."

"It's a minor issue. I've always disliked disputes and prefer to mediate. There's no need for pointless arguments among classmates."

Seeing Moran leave, Lance lay on the table and muttered.

He felt like he was about to become the Awakened Emperor again.

Eyes half-closed, staring at the clock, every minute and second felt like an eternity.

I don't want to go to class.

Now, even the law books he cherished so much, he lacks the energy to look at them.

Just like when I was in high school, when I encountered a disliked subject, the moment the teacher spoke, he would immediately slump over his desk.

Lance thought to himself, maybe he should go to the Shadow World today

According to the school's regulations, if a student is absent due to participating in the Shadow World challenge, it will not be counted as skipping class. Moreover, after passing the challenge, they will be granted a period of leave for adjustment.

Even, students participating in the film world challenge, the school will also award students a small amount of real academic credit based on its difficulty and completion. -- Not only can it serve as credits for any semester's elective course, but if enough is accumulated, it can even offset the credits for required courses!

Therefore, many idiot warriors from the Knight Academy go all out to fight in the Shadow World, trying their best to curve-swap mandatory classes!

Now Ranch also feels like he's walking down this path.

He couldn't help but look at Huberlyan.

She looked very relaxed about her studies today, not like she was struggling so much.

Besides, Huberlian should be a rather cautious and steady person.

I don't know if she'll agree to go on an adventure with me to the Shadow World.
