Did the villainous professor survive today?

"What brings you here?" Krenk asked.

"I have a suggestion," the female student said somewhat timidly.

"suggestion?"

"Yes! That's right! It's a suggestion!" The female student nodded vigorously, as if encouraging herself.

"It's just that... Mr. 'V', your fiancée, or rather, Professor Krenk's fiancée, Sistine Barberini, has an eye for seeing through lies. I suggest you try to minimize contact with her during this time to avoid any unnecessary complications."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'avoiding unnecessary complications'?"

Krenk's voice suddenly turned cold, revealing a chill.

The female student was startled and quickly explained:

"Um, I'm sorry! Mr. V, I wasn't questioning you, I just..."

"Just what?"

Krenk turned around, looking down at the female student with a piercing light in his eyes.

"You risked exposure and came to me without my permission just for such a trivial matter?"

"No, I...I..."

The girl's voice was trembling like a leaf, and her hands were gripping her sleeves tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Krenk leaned down slightly, bringing his face close to the other person's, and continued to apply pressure, saying each word slowly and deliberately:

"Are you teaching me how to do things now?"

Enya Colonna

[Death Threat: D]

"I...I'm sorry..." the girl named Enya murmured.

"I don't want to waste my time and energy listening to your explanations."

Krenk stared at the eyes of the girl named Enya with a deathly gaze.

"From now on, you only need to obey my orders unconditionally. You cannot raise any questions or concerns, understand?"

He reached out and grasped Enya's chin, his thumb gently caressing her delicate cheek, as if he were truly in the shoes of the twisted killer "V," contemplating whether to cut off the exquisite face of the beauty before him and keep it as a private keepsake.

"I...I understand..."

Tears were already welling up in Enya's eyes, and it seemed that she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Was she going a little too far? Krenk couldn't help but feel confused. Was it because the pressure of playing "V" was too strong, or was it simply that her mental fortitude wasn't up to par?

With such poor mental fortitude, why would you join such an organization?

Kroenke didn't dwell on it too much; he released Enya's face.

"I decide when we meet; you have no say in it. You cannot come to me unless someone of my level or higher needs you."

"You mean the other letter sequences, and... Lord Dream Feast?" Enya asked tentatively.

"Yes, unless there's an emergency with the other letter sequences, or Mengxiang speaks up, don't bother me with anything," Krenk continued. "If there's nothing else, you can leave on your own."

"yes!"

Enya nodded vigorously, then turned and left around the corner.

She walked quickly, and after reaching the deserted stairwell, she leaned against a corner as if she had survived a close call, touching her back which was soaked with cold sweat:

"Ugh...that was terrifying...thankfully everyone's alright..."

at the same time.

You have avoided being exposed and assassinated by the Order of the Silent.

[Points +700!]

[Current points: 2500!]

After seeing the system's settlement screen pop up, Krenk let out a long breath as if he had escaped death. He took off his coat and touched his back, which was soaked with cold sweat.

"Phew...that was terrifying...thankfully I'm alright..."

After releasing the pressure, Kroenke quickly cleared his mind.

First of all, this organization is called the Hermitage of Silence.

In his previous life, Kroenke had some recollection of the organization's name, but that was all he remembered.

All he knew was that this organization played a crucial role in the later stages of the story's divine war, and was a powerful and undeniable force.

"My predecessor, how could one person get into so much trouble..."

Krenk pinched his brow in anguish.

Before learning that the organization was called the Silent Order, he had considered whether he could use the power of the academy and his family to eliminate this mysterious organization.

Now it seems the hope is slim.

Although the academy's principal, Abraham, is a seventh-rank archmage and Saint Oster's strongest fighter.

But expecting him to compete with this organization is wishful thinking.

This secretive organization wields considerable influence even in the God Wars, making it something that the Ludwig family or the Academy can't possibly mess with now.

"Looks like I'll have to stay within the organization as 'V' for now...."

Kroenke muttered to himself that he quickly accepted the situation and began to analyze it.

From an optimistic perspective, "V" seems to hold a high position in this organization, at least at the level of a senior executive.

This means that, apart from the higher-ups in other letter sequences, the other members of the organization must obey him to some extent.

Perhaps, he could use the identity of "V" to call upon other members of the organization to help him eliminate the Russell family, who hired Ariel to assassinate him.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Kroenke shook his head again. Whether it was recruiting members or breaking away from the organization, it was all too far off to discuss now.

"But speaking of which... why were those high-ranking officials of such an organization wiped out by me in a single blow?"

Kroenke noticed the blind spot, frowned deeply, and looked at his attribute panel.

Like "Misfortune" and "Charm", the last trait of its predecessor, "Exquisite Technique", is also a unique trait in the game.

[Exquisite Technique: You can draw upon all your magical power and freely distribute it across the spells you cast, thereby exceeding the power threshold of spells. Your spells are always elegant and exquisite, as if you are simply displaying art rather than magic.]

"Even if it has this characteristic, it shouldn't be like this... For the original owner, this thing was only useful for disguising the strength of the chief professor. In terms of actual combat, it didn't have that kind of power."

Kroenke began to recall the details of what had happened the previous night.

He remembered that when he first transmigrated, the "V" sign with his back to him was strange, but he didn't think too much about it at the time and just launched a sneak attack from behind without any sense of martial ethics.

Now it seems that perhaps he was making some kind of preparation to replace "Kronk" in the future.

Like a hermit crab that has just moved, it is extremely fragile, but he couldn't explain the specific details.

In this light, his previous confusion about why the corpse burned so quickly, leaving not even bone fragments, now makes sense.

"Forget it, I won't bother arguing with a dead man."

Kroenke abandoned his internal struggles and focused on the present moment.

He looked at the wooden door to the side, where his fiancée Histina was waiting in the lounge.

Kroenke reached out and grasped the doorknob again.

Click.

As the latch retracted, Krenk pushed open the door to the lounge.

"You've arrived, Professor Krenk,"

Inside the lounge, Sistine sat upright on the sofa, looking at Krenk with a slightly displeased expression.

"That was a truly remarkable speech."
