My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

"I've heard Aunt Bai mention it occasionally before; it seems that my cousin Adele, whom I've never met, is in the warlord's ranks..."

"I wonder, between that warlord cousin from the border region and Sister Cassandra, who is more capable?"

Emily couldn't help but secretly speculate.

Although she used to have a good relationship with her sister Cassandra, ever since she entered the Ice Cloud Extraordinary Academy for further studies, she has found that her sister is often really annoying.

Cassandra always acted arrogantly and condescendingly, wantonly humiliating the entire academic faction. She looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.

Not long ago, he even insulted himself and his younger brother into the mess...

Ultimately, what's so great about ten kings?

Can they defeat the night patrol's personal guards?

Just as Emily was lost in thought, she suddenly noticed a girl sitting diagonally in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

It was a pink-haired girl with fluffy curly hair, currently scribbling furiously in a thick parchment notebook, looking completely absorbed in her work and clearly taking notes very diligently...

Emily remembered that her name was Vera.

They had just fled from the border of the Black Realm a few days ago.

According to information gleaned from gossip among classmates, Vera's family had long since fallen into decline and was not qualified to study at Icefall Academy at all...

However, because her path to awakening was extremely rare, she was exceptionally admitted to Bingxia Academy. The two parties even signed a confidentiality agreement, prohibiting the disclosure of sequence information under any circumstances.

What rare method could possibly make the higher-ups at Ice Cloud Academy take it so seriously?

Out of curiosity, Emily quietly craned her neck and peeked at the contents of Vera's notes.

Her face flushed slightly.

This isn't taking notes at all!

It's purely pornographic!!!

"Splash—!!"

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside with extreme force.

The loud noise instantly drew everyone's attention.

The lecturer on stage immediately stopped his speech and cast a stern, extremely displeased look at the aristocratic youth who had suddenly barged in: "You're a full fifteen minutes late! Even if you're a nobleman, you must obey..."

However, the young nobleman who burst through the door, panting, had no time to heed the lecturer's reprimand.

Clutching a newly published newspaper in his hand, he boasted with an incredibly excited and shrill voice:

"A major disaster! Something terrible has happened!! Lord Winter... Lord Winter has been defeated!!!"

"And what's more, the opponent who defeated him was actually a member of the Lunette family!!!"

After a brief period of deathly silence.

There was an uproar.

All the trainees, shocked and incredulous, turned their heads in unison.

He turned his gaze to Emily, who was sitting in the corner.

Emily was also stunned by this sudden news.

After a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly stood up, rushed forward, and snatched the newspaper from the boy's hand.

On the headline section, a line of bold black text immediately catches the eye.

Winter Lord, one of the eight direct guards, suffered a crushing defeat on the streets of the royal city yesterday!

Yesterday afternoon, Lord Winter, one of the eight guards directly under the Night Patrol, engaged in a fierce conflict with a male member of the Lunette family named "Weiss" in the warehouse area of ​​the Starry Sky Merchant Guild on the outskirts of the royal city. After less than half a minute of fighting, Lord Winter was defeated on the spot, severely injured and unconscious. Afterwards, Cassandra, one of the Ten Kings and the Little Sword Saint, personally intervened, forcibly taking the prisoner away under the noses of dozens of Night Patrol members.

According to the investigation, this Weiss is the husband of Cassandra's cousin, the Little Sword Saint. Following the recent riots in the Dark Realm, he fled from the remote northern border to the royal city as a refugee and is currently residing at the Lunette family mansion. He is suspected to be a "Storm" pathway of the 7th-tier natural system.

"storm......?"

Emily stared at the contents of the newspaper, muttering incredulously to herself.

It wasn't until she finished reading the entire report that she belatedly realized she was surrounded by a crowd.

It seemed that the guy's shout in the corridor was so loud that it alerted the students and instructors in the next few classrooms.

The pride of Icefall Extraordinary Academy, the previous top student of the academy, Winter Duke, was actually defeated by Weiss, a commoner who fled from the border!?

How is this possible?!?

Winter Duke is the leading figure of the Wilder Hess family and one of the Snow White's direct bodyguards on night patrol!?

Emily's expression grew increasingly bewildered.

Could it be that...

During the Snow Palace Trial that day, Weiss wasn't bragging; he really did climb to the 3-kilometer area.

But this logic doesn't make sense either, does it?

Lord Winter had already climbed to an area nearly 8 kilometers long several years ago...

If Emily was merely somewhat bewildered and taken aback, then the middle-aged lecturer standing behind her was utterly devastated.

Clearly, compared to these students who were merely shocked and amused, he, with his considerable experience, was well aware of the severe chain reaction that Dong Jue's public defeat in the royal city would trigger.

"It's over..."

"The pride and honor of our Ice Cloud Academy are all gone..."

Meanwhile, sitting in the corner.

Vera remained completely absorbed in creating her new fantasy work, ignoring the noisy chatter of her classmates.

She didn't know any Dong Jue at all. Even though she occasionally heard the name "Weiss" amidst the exclamations of the crowd, she just assumed it was a coincidence.

After all, nothing in this world is more important than the groundbreaking new work that he is about to release.

Her new work is titled Full-Time Warlock.

As the name suggests, the male protagonist is a mysterious and extravagant sorcerer.

She swore that this work would contain absolutely no cuckoldry plots, and would be a clean and pure love story!

Although the female protagonist becomes the contracted beast of another extravagant sorcerer at the end of the story, in her setting, it is a scene that the male protagonist personally witnessed and tacitly approved, and it has nothing to do with being cuckolded.

However, just as Vera was writing furiously, a newspaper that was being passed around by her classmates was casually tossed aside and, by sheer coincidence, slowly drifted down onto her desk, covering the contents of her novel.

Vera glanced impatiently at the newspaper on the table. 688

Then, the expression on her face froze instantly.

"Wait a minute, isn't this the Weiss I know?!"

"And that Winter Duke is actually one of the eight direct guards of the Night Patrol..."

"Weiss, who has no combat experience whatsoever, defeated the Night Patrol officer in just half a minute!?"

"storm......?"

"No wonder, no wonder he asked me about the 7th-tier potion in the carriage that day!!!" 064

Recalling some past events, Vera's heart-shaped pupils unknowingly became somewhat unfocused due to extreme turmoil.

She couldn't help but deeply doubt her previous unrealistic guess once again.

In fact, during her recent daily conversations through love letters, she had a vague feeling on several occasions...

The user on the other end of the love letter looks so much like a girl!!

I just didn't want to admit it deep down.

So, is there a possibility...?

The Thunder Emperor of the Moon, whom I've been longing for day and night, has already casually given away that love letter!

Weiss!!!

.........

Winter Lord, one of the eight guards directly under the Night Patrol, was openly defeated in the heart of the royal city, and in a manner that was almost overwhelming. The nature of this incident was extremely egregious.

Not to mention, the person who defeated him was from the Lunette family, which had recently caused quite a stir in the royal city!

As this explosive intelligence spread like wildfire, even the number of demonstrators who had planned to protest in front of the Night Patrol headquarters today was reduced by more than half, and morale was low.

The Lunette family naturally received this morning news very early.

The tea table in the garden.

The young swordswoman Cassandra sat lazily in a chair, her long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings crossed, looking at the newspaper in her hand with a smug and pleased expression.

Meanwhile, Aunt Bai, who had also seen the newspaper, was completely dumbfounded.

Then, she turned her head abruptly incredulously and stared intently at Weiss, who sat calmly opposite her.

Although he already knew that Weiss had comprehended five secrets at the 8th level of the Climate Master stage, such a heaven-defying talent could be said to be abnormal and beyond reason.

But to her utter surprise, Weiss was able to defeat the Snow White Guards, who represented the highest level of combat power in the royal city, head-on!

This performance can barely be considered as touching the threshold of the "Ten Kings" level, right...?

Weiss took a sip of tea with an outwardly nonchalant expression, but inwardly he was somewhat speechless.

"Are these newspaper reporters just bored and have nothing better to do than open my box?"

"The Night Patrol Headquarters hasn't even given a direct order yet. Isn't the atmosphere at the newspaper offices in the capital a bit too free?"

Listening to Weiss's complaints, Cassandra also showed a helpless expression: "There's nothing we can do about it."

"As a representative of the academic school, Dong Jue has been in the spotlight for years. Now that such a terrible incident, which is rare in a century, has occurred, even if the Wilder Hess family and the Night Patrol Headquarters put pressure on him together, they probably won't be able to suppress it."

Upon hearing Cassandra's seemingly reasonable analysis, Weiss silently turned his head and looked at her with a deep gaze.

He just stared at her intently, without saying a word.

After spending these past few days together since arriving in the royal city, Weiss has pretty much figured out Cassandra's cunning and treacherous nature, which thrives on chaos.

What does it mean that even the combined pressure from the Wilder Hess family and the Night Patrol headquarters couldn't suppress it?

Is this still human language...?

It's hard not to suspect that the Lunette family was behind the release of this news.

After being stared at by Westbrook for more than ten seconds, Cassandra blinked innocently.

Then, taking advantage of Aunt Bai's inattention while she was still repeatedly flipping through the newspaper in shock...

Cassandra stuck her leg out from under the table and secretly kicked Weiss's shin with the tip of her high heel.

Then, meeting Weiss's gaze, she silently mouthed: "One billion eight thousand seven hundred three thousand six thousand eight hundred six hundred three thousand ...

No, you are not allowed to be fierce to me.

Okay, she's quite delicate...

Weiss didn't bother arguing with her and pretended nothing had happened, so he started drinking his tea.

Soon, the morning tea time was over, and Cassandra hurriedly went out to run errands again.

With a free day, Weiss decided to take Aunt Bai out for a drive.

Walking down the bustling street, Aunt Bai leaned on Weiss's shoulder and whispered in his ear:

"Weiss, you should have advanced to the 7th level of Slaughter by now, right?"

"And...those goods that were supposedly destroyed by the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, you actually hid them all in the Paradise, didn't you? Or rather, you never took them out at all!?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Weiss's face.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Bai is quite shrewd.

He judged his actions based on only a few fragments of information in the newspaper.

Seeing Weiss's expression, which could be considered tacit agreement, Aunt Bai immediately showed an extremely sighing and emotional look.

Although not all of the Night Patrol's direct guards possess combat strength at the level of ten kings.

However, it's simply outrageous that Weiss, a commoner from the Black Realm's borders who has only just crossed the threshold of Tier 7, could defeat a renowned Night Patrol bodyguard head-on!

You should know that Winter Duke is by no means weak...

No, to be more precise, it means that none of the 7th-tier extraordinary beings in this world who have mastered the secrets can be weak!
