D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Upon seeing the dean, Lu Yuan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his back soaked with sweat.

He thought to himself, "Oh no, I've been discovered. And it happened so fast. I just wanted to find out what was going on."

What will happen next? Will the dean turn evil?

The dean might not rush over to kill the insects and silence us, I wonder how strong Maggie is, and whether she can beat him.

Countless thoughts flooded Lu Yuan's mind, just like bullet comments.

Maggie took a step forward, blocking Lu Yuan's path. Lu Yuan also moved to block Elijah and the others' doorway, while secretly rubbing the bracelet on his wrist.

This bracelet is actually Lu Yuan's communicator. Today, to match the clothes, Rhine asked Lu Yuan to change the communicator to this shape. It has an emergency rescue button on it. As long as Lu Yuan presses it, Rhine will know that there is danger on his side.

Lu Yuan planned that if the dean made any unusual moves later, he would immediately press the button, then have Elijah lock the door, and then he and Maggie would deal with the dean together.

He refused to believe it. Even if they couldn't defeat the dean in a two-on-one fight, they could at least stall for time. As long as Rhine arrived, they would be fine.

In Lu Yuan's mind, his family's Rhine was the most powerful; no insect could beat Rhine.

Just as Lu Yuan was making plans in his mind, Elijah suddenly rushed out of the room, past Lu Yuan, and ran towards the dean. Lu Yuan couldn't stop him no matter how much he called.

Elijah ran up to the headmaster, his little face full of guilt.

"Dean, I'm sorry, Elijah didn't mean to run away, but Kyle is sick and not feeling well. He can't drink the nutrient solution, so I went to the kitchen to find something for Elijah to eat. I didn't expect you to find me there."

The abbot knelt down, his smile kind, and lovingly patted Elijah's head.

"It's alright, you did the right thing. You go back and take care of Kyle first. I have something to discuss with this gentleman, and I'll come see Kyle later."

"Okay, I'll take good care of Kyle."

After saying that, Elijah ran back to his room.

The heartwarming scene before them put Lu Yuan and Maggie at ease, proving that the dean wasn't such a bad guy after all.

Lu Yuan walked up to the dean and asked directly.

"Dean, what exactly is going on?"

"Please come to my office, both of you. I will explain."

The two insects followed the dean to his office, which was also very old. The cement base of the walls was exposed, the floor was severely worn, and every piece of furniture was broken and old.

The dean directed Lu Yuan and Maggie to sit down in the chairs, but as soon as the two insects sat down, the chairs immediately creaked.

Lu Yuan adjusted his posture to ensure he could stand up immediately should the chair fall over.

The dean poured two glasses of water for Lu Yuan and Maggie. As soon as the dean sat down, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to ask a question.

"Director, Elijah was also a child from Asley Orphanage, right?"

"Yes, there are fifty-two children in the house now. You saw twenty-two of them earlier. The remaining thirty children, including Elijah, are in their own rooms today."

"Why don't you let these children come out when you're handing out gifts in the morning and during lunch?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lu Yuan really didn't understand. The dean didn't seem like someone who didn't care about the children, so why did he still let those thirty children hide?

The dean sighed.

"Your Excellency, Elijah is indeed a good boy, but he looks quite ordinary, doesn't he?"

???

"What does this have to do with anything?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled.

"It's related. The thirty children who stayed in their own rooms were all ordinary-looking children, just like Elijah."

Then, the dean explained the whole story to Lu Yuan and Maggie.

All orphanages in the Empire rely on government funding to operate, and Asley Orphanage is no exception.

When the funding amount was initially approved, Yasley Orphanage only had twenty orphans, so the amount was naturally calculated based on that number.

In the following years, however, the number of children in the orphanage grew rapidly, while the government funding did not increase at all.

The dean contacted the relevant departments many times regarding this matter, but to no avail.

With no other option, the director could only rely on the insufficient funding and try every possible means to keep the orphanage running.

Later, when the orphanage was selected by the Hsiung Ping An Foundation to carry out charity activities, the director was very happy because it meant that the orphanage could receive donations of money and goods from the Hsiung Ping An Foundation. No matter how small the amount, it would be good to alleviate some of the burden and make things a little better for the children.

When the Male Protection Association first organized the arrival of the male insects, the director made many preparations in advance, washing each child thoroughly to leave a good impression on the male insects. Of course, it would be even better if the children could be given more food.

As a result, the dean and the children waited at the door for a long time before the male insect's aircraft finally arrived. However, as soon as he got off the aircraft, he glanced at the children and immediately showed a look of disgust before returning to the aircraft and leaving.

Afterwards, the dean did not receive the promised funds and supplies.

The dean went to the Xiongbao Association to inquire about what happened, and after searching through many insects, he finally figured out the reason.

The reason was absurd. Apparently, that male insect thought their orphanage was dilapidated and that the children were ugly and dressed in rags, which upset him. So he told the Male Protection Association not to donate to them, and that's how their funds and supplies disappeared.

The director was furious when he learned the reason, but anger was useless. Anger could not bring funds to the orphanage, nor could it bring food to the children. Donations from the Xiongbao Foundation were still the director's only hope.

So the director then went to great lengths to persuade the Xiongbao Association to give their orphanage another chance.

To avoid further trouble, the director used the remaining money in the orphanage's account to renovate the orphanage's exterior walls and the areas where male insects would be taken on tours.

Then, they selected twenty-two of the best-looking children, bought them new clothes, and put them in charge of receiving the male insects who came to do charity.

The director's preparations paid off. The male insect showed a satisfied expression as soon as he stepped off the aircraft, and all subsequent activities proceeded smoothly.

Although the male insect left after taking the photos, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't stop the male protection association from paying him.

As expected, the donations and supplies provided by the Xiongbao Association went very smoothly this time.

The donations from the Xiongbao Association made things a little better for the orphanage. After that, whenever the Xiongbao Association organized male insects to come and do charity work, the director would do the same.

The thirty children were all very obedient, and each time they stayed quietly in their little rooms until the Xiongbao Association's insects left.

If Kyle hadn't been sick, Lu Yuan would never have discovered this.
