I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

The girl who had her arms around Maria's neck was named Lily, and she was Maria's only friend at the school.

Of course, this friendship was only in Maria's own perception.

Maria, who was practically invisible at school, was kept by Lily's side for a reason.

It was more to highlight Lily's sense of superiority.

For example, right now, Lily is using a sarcastic tone.

The satire portrays Maria as childish chatting with elementary school students.

Furthermore, Lily's voice was quite loud just now.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of all the students around it.

This included Mark, who had been casually taught a lesson by Samara before.

And Levi, who has been searching for Emma.

Mark, the bad boy who likes to bully Maria,

Hearing the sound, he looked over with great interest, then froze on the spot.

Suddenly, they spotted three little girls sitting on the lawn.

His brow twitched, and a bad memory immediately surfaced in his mind.

Mark glanced at Maria, who was standing in front of the three little girls, and his eyes turned somewhat cold.

Levi, having locked onto his target, stared intently at Emma, ​​who was sitting on the far side.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He squeezed the utility knife in his pocket and muttered to himself:

"You little bitch, I've finally found you!"

Feeling the gazes around her, Aresa couldn't help but frown slightly.

She looked up and said to Maria in a flat tone:

"If it's something very important, you can come and talk to us after school."

Hearing Alessa's reminder, Maria also knew,

This is not a good time to talk business.

He quickly nodded and whispered to Aresa:

"Okay... okay, see you after school."

At the same time, Maria gently shook off Amy's arm.

He walked towards the teaching building with his head down.

He whispered something to Amy:

"Lily, let's go back to class."

Lily, who had been shaken off, was stunned for a moment.

Somewhat surprised, Maria had just extricated herself from her actions.

The old Mary would never have pushed her away.

Immediately, Lily's gaze sharpened, as if she had thought of something.

He quickly turned his head and looked at the three little girls sitting on the lawn.

But as Lily's gaze met that of the three little girls,

A sudden chill ran through me!

Lily's body shuddered involuntarily.

He quickly looked away and hurried after Maria, who had already walked away.

Watching Lily's departing figure, Samara slowly withdrew his gaze.

She turned to look at Aresa and asked curiously:

"Alessa, what exactly is Maria trying to say? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Alessa gazed at the frolicking crowd in the distance and said calmly:

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the vengeful spirit inside him has become more active."

"what?"

Samara's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

He asked in a somewhat anxious tone:

"Will Maria be in trouble?"

Aresa turned her head and looked at Samara with a suspicious expression.

He asked with some doubt:

"Why are you so concerned about her? This isn't like you, Samara."

Samara paused upon hearing this.

He quickly put on an indifferent expression and said:

"Tch, I... I was just concerned about our lackeys."

Just like we care about Emma.

As she spoke, she glanced at Emma, ​​who was resting her chin on her hand and eating watermelon.

He raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Emma, ​​am I right?"

Emma never expected that her gossip would affect her so badly.

He quickly smiled and nodded:

"My sister is right!"

Seeing this, Aresa rolled her eyes slightly and whispered:

"Don't worry, the vengeful spirit inside Maria is extremely weak."

You could even kill it with just a breath.

Hearing Aresa's confident tone,

Samara was relieved.

She stood up, patted her bottom, and said with a smile:

"Li Yuan is back today, let's go to the manor tonight."

"Okay, okay!"

Emma, ​​who was standing nearby, heard that Li Yuan had returned.

He immediately clapped his hands in agreement with a joyful expression.

Alessa slowly turned her head.

Looking at the figure that flashed past behind him, his face was full of confusion.

Meanwhile, Maria, who was about to return to the classroom,

Then Mark suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Maria was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, and quickly adjusted her route.

He planned to go around Mark from the side.

However, Mark, with a mischievous grin, stretched out his other hand.

They stopped her again.

Lily, who was following behind Maria, stopped in her tracks upon seeing this.

They stood at a distance and watched the spectacle with great interest.

"Maria, tell me quickly."

Mark stared coldly at Maria, slowly approaching her.

He whispered in her ear and asked:

"Did you hire those freaks?"

Although Samara wasn't someone she hired.

But Maria, who witnessed Mark being tricked by Samara the whole time,

Upon hearing this, her eyes still showed some panic.

She denied it somewhat haltingly:

"No...no, Mark."

I don't know what you're talking about.

As she spoke, she moved aside again, muttering under her breath:

"I...I have to go to class."

Having sensed something amiss, Mark angrily reached out his hand.

He grabbed Maria's arm and slammed her against the wall.

He then stared into her eyes and said fiercely:

"Maria, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've found a powerful backer!"

Just then, Lily's voice suddenly rang out from the other side of the corridor:

"Oh! Mr. Spencer! Are you teaching this lesson?"

Mark frowned and glanced at the end of the corridor, spotting the teacher's figure.

He then whispered a threat to Maria:

"Don't get cocky, I'll get someone to deal with those freaks, I swear!"

As he spoke, Mark gently released Maria's shoulders.

He then glared at Maria with a mischievous grin before turning and walking into the classroom.

At that moment, Lily ran up behind her.

She feigned concern, grabbing Maria's arm and asking about her condition:

"Oh my God, Maria, are you alright?"

Thank goodness the teacher came; Mark was really rude.

Maria raised her eyes and glanced at Lily, whose lips were hidden in a smile.

He nodded slightly to her and silently walked into the classroom.

The Holy Light Office is located on Wilshire Avenue.

Li Yuan led Lu and Diwen to the front of the firm, pushed open the door, and went inside.

As the wind chimes above the door rang,

Edward, Jamie, and Ades were chatting in the first-floor office area.

They all stopped and looked towards the entrance.

When they saw that the person who came was actually Li Yuan...

Edward immediately stood up, laughing loudly as he said to Li Yuan:

"Hey! Li Yuan, you're just in time. We were just talking about the case."

Li Yuan smiled upon hearing this and asked softly:

"Oh? What case have you received this time?"

As they were talking, Lucrecia and Devon followed them in.

Seeing this, Li Yuan first addressed the people in the office.

They introduced themselves to each other:

"This is our newest member, Lucrecia."

Upon seeing this, Edward and the others waved to Lucrecia.

Li Yuan also introduced Edward and the others to Lucrecia one by one.

After exchanging pleasantries, Edward approached Li Yuan and said with a smile:

"Li Yuan, we've just received a very interesting case. I wonder if you'd be interested in it."
