A prince from a certain American comic book

Ike smiled and reminded him, "You should be careful, it wouldn't be good if a serial killer came up."

Lily smiled, took the cigarette Ike tossed her, and said, "Are you a serial killer?"

Ike said, "I am the king."

Done.

Ike and Lily exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

Bang!

Ike turned around to look when he heard the rooftop door open.

Wearing black leggings and black boots that accentuated her exquisite figure, Chris walked from the stairwell to the rooftop.

Ike was slightly taken aback and asked, "How did you get up here?"

Chris glanced at Lily behind Ike before saying to Ike indifferently, "I didn't see you in the classroom."

Ike shrugged, flashed his cigarette pack, and said, "Come up here for a smoke."

Chris nodded, glancing at Lily but smiling at Ike, and said, "So this is your smoking buddy?"

Ike smiled.

Very well, this reputation is now firmly established. When he meets Matthew in the future, he will have every reason to make Matthew thank him for showing mercy...

When Lily saw Chris come up, she quickly finished her cigarette, said goodbye to Ike, and left.

With a slight smile, Ike said to Chris, "I don't think you're as well-behaved as I imagined at school."

Chris chuckled and took a cigarette from Ike's pocket, lighting it herself.

Ike didn't stop him.

No need.

Besides, smoking cigarettes is better than that stuff that's all the rage on college campuses these days.

Cigarettes are expensive, but you can live without them.

quite a while.

As Ike's gaze drifted towards the office building next door, he suddenly saw Sean rushing out of the building in a hurry.

Ike was slightly taken aback.

Chris also saw Sean and then said, "Sean probably went to the vice principal's office to inquire since Annie didn't come today."

Ike smiled as he looked at Sean, who was walking rather hurriedly, and said, "It seems that Sean must have been scolded by Mr. McCulloch."

Chris smiled too.

Mr. McCulloch treated his sister’s daughter, Annie, like a jewel kept in a safe.

Let alone a boy approaching Annie, even if a male animal were to appear around Mr. McCulloch's house, Mr. McCulloch would investigate what the animal's hobbies or quirks were...

But at that moment, Sean, who was in the sight of Ike and Chris, suddenly wiped away tears.

Ike's mouth was slightly open.

Jesus Christ.

Does Mr. McCulloch have the ability to make Sean, who will one day be a killer, mercenary, and a man of various violent professions, cry?

real or fake.

After exchanging a glance, Ike and Chris extinguished their cigarettes and headed towards the rooftop exit.

Five minutes later.

Ike and Chris hitched a ride with Sean in the parking lot as he was about to skip class and drive away.

Ike, catching his breath, looked at Sean getting out of the car with some curiosity and asked, "What's wrong? Skipping class on the first day of school? Are you trying to give my newly appointed ninth-grade assistant a hard time?" (Want to chat with more like-minded people about "A Certain American Comic Prince"?)

Chapter 076: Charles' Suicide

As long as you complete all your academic credits, that's fine. (Ice#Fire@Chinese www.bhZW.cc)

You can never have too many credits for conduct, and besides, being a newly appointed ninth-grade student assistant is a way to get a head start on management.

What is there to say?

How can one sweep the world if one cannot even sweep one's own house? These are all valuable experiences. When he collects all seven dragons... I mean, the seven gems, and marries his sister off, the day he ascends the throne will be beneficial for his management of the Kingdom of Arendelle.

Ike was thinking of annexing the other kingdoms, so that the flag of the Kingdom of Arendelle would fly high in the extraordinary world...

Yes.

As Ike spoke, he looked at Sean, who was getting out of the car, and said, "Even if you want to intimidate me, can't you do it to my face?"

Sean, who had been looking down, looked up.

Ike and Chris were both startled.

With bloodshot eyes, Sean said in his now signature magnetic voice, "Mr. Charles McCulloch is dead."

Ike and Chris exchanged a glance.

Sean said in a deep voice, "Aini is also missing."

Ike was stunned for a moment.

What the hell is going on now?

Death has arrived?

After half an hour.

Ike told Chris to stay outside while he drove to Sean, where Annie lived in the Hampden area north of Baltimore, while he rushed into the Quaker school principal's office to find out what was going on.

Ten minutes later.

Having obtained sufficient information, Ike bid farewell to the principal and left the principal's office.

Chris and Sean, who were waiting outside, immediately came to greet them.

"How about it?"

"Ike?"

Ike looked up at Sean and Chris, then said with a strange expression, "I've seen the email from the Hampden Precinct. Mr. Charles McCulloch committed suicide."

Chris blinked.

Sean asked hurriedly, "What about Annie? Where is Annie now?"

Ike shook his head and said, "Mr. Charles McCulloch took Annie to his seaside villa in Hampden for a vacation. Annie was discovered by the maid who came to clean the house after mistakenly thinking he was gone three days after Mr. Charles McCulloch committed suicide. Even after the maid called the police, the police did not find Annie in the house."

This whole thing is strange.

Why did Mr. Charles McCulloch commit suicide?

There's no reason for it.

Ike stopped Sean again as he turned to leave, saying, "What can you do there now? Can you even find Annie?"

Sean didn't say anything, he just tried to pry Ike's left hand off his shoulder.

But it wasn't broken open.

Ike's eyes lit up and he asked, "You've trained before?"

Sean turned to Ike and said calmly, "I can't compare to you."

Ike laughed and said, "That's for sure. My fighting skills are basically at the pinnacle of unarmed combat on this planet."

Sean pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

He was just telling the truth, but he didn't expect Ike to start boasting so much without any restraint.

quite a while.

Ike sighed and said to Sean, "Don't run away. I'll go inside and make a call to ask someone for help."

As he spoke, Ike glanced at Chris, then turned and walked back towards the office building, intending to find an office to borrow a phone to call for help from outside.

The world now has mobile phones.

Yes.

Having a telephone is one thing, but toll fees are still a big problem. However, I heard that it should be widely available by the end of this year.

Ike was already considering whether he should ask Ms. Carter for one.

Not having a mobile phone is ultimately inconvenient.

quite a while.

Ike walked out of the office building again and said to Sean, who was guarding the other side, "Don't worry, we should have the results by tomorrow."

Sean frowned.

Ike sighed and said, "Well, today is the first day of school, and if we haven't found Annie by tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is the weekend. How about I go with you to Hampden?"

Sean said, "I still want to go and see for myself."

Ike shrugged and said, "Suit yourself, but the day after tomorrow, I can go with you to the police station. Can you get into the police station by yourself?"

Sean: "..."

In the end, Sean was persuaded by Ike.

Ike breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Sean turn and walk towards the teaching building.

Today is his first day as a ninth-grade student assistant.

If a student were to skip class, Ike would be in a very difficult position.

Ike turned to Chris and asked, "By the way, did you get your course schedule for this semester?"

Chris nodded and said, "I'll take it. I don't have class this morning."

Ike frowned and asked, "When did you go to get it?"

Chris pointed towards the rooftop and said, "While you and Lily were squatting up there smoking."

Ike was speechless.
