Chapter 862 Academy VI
Anna was very conflicted.
As Marinda's lapdog, she extremely disliked Arthur.
Consequently, she also hated the people of the Kledos Family.
So, when she found out that the boss of the 'Shapeless' was Cassandra Credos, Anna's first thought was to quit, but immediately, that idea was dismissed by her.
She didn't dare.
Faced with the mysterious Cassandra Credos, who never truly showed herself, Anna didn't dare to propose quitting.
She feared that as soon as she suggested leaving.
The next moment, those four guys would receive Cassandra's first task: eliminate the traitor.
According to her guess, this was extremely likely.
She couldn't quit.
Yet she hated the Kledos Family.
So what should she do?
Naturally, just muddle through.
Anna had recently been coasting through.
After all, in the security room, she was alone; if she wasn't afraid of being fired, she would've started smoking pipes and drinking wine, whistling at the girls in the academy.
Being young is really great!
They are so unafraid of the cold!
Even though it's just spring, at a glance, there are legs everywhere!
Such days made her forget her worries.
And then!
However, trouble came!
The woman from the Kledos Family gave her a private order, and clearly stated that if she messed it up, she should be prepared to be eliminated — this was unprecedented, although she was coasting through, she had also carefully investigated, whether it was the dumb Jennifer, or the easily bullied crybaby Jian, or the two perverted maniacs Amy and Shara, they just issued tasks, but there were no punishments.
Why was there a punishment for her?
Was it because she seemed easy to bully?
Let me tell you, I...
Just love this kind of thing!
Unconsciously, Anna began to imagine herself being hung high after failing the mission, being viciously whipped.
'If it were like that, how great it would be!
Unfortunately, it's death.
Pleasure and death, can't they coexist?'
A slight dissatisfaction rose in her heart, and Anna began patrolling the entire academy as a firefighter — Jennifer and Jian's work was done well.
After all, facing those five rookies, it was impossible to fail.
At the academy entrance, when she saw Jimte and Kalal, Anna knew trouble was coming.
Jimte and Kalal's portraits, she had seen them.
Jimte and Kalal's experiences, she had heard about them.
As Marinda's capable helper, Anna had studied the 'obstacles' in Marinda's business empire thoroughly.
Among them, Jimte and Kalal were the biggest obstacles on the road to Seberlin and the Ainhars Territory, compared to the two Lords, these seemingly harmless guys were the most important to watch out for.
All those small details told Anna that these two guys were deeply hidden conspirators.
But unfortunately, before she could even confront these two plotters, that bastard exposed her relationship with Marinda, forcing her to leave South Los.
But that didn't mean she would forget these two guys.
On the contrary, it was similar to when you suddenly crave a meat pie, even though it's not something good to eat, but suddenly you want it, and because it's late at night, you can't have it.
That kind of tossing and turning at midnight makes your craving for the meat pie reach some kind of extreme.
As a result, the next day, you eat it twice.
To the extent you won't think of it for a long time.
But if you didn't get to eat it the next day.
Then, these two foods would root themselves in your heart.
In the end, growing like a meat pie in your mind.
Anna was in a similar situation.
The opponent she yearned for and couldn't have reappeared.
But she couldn't be happy about it.
Because—
It wasn't in the way she hoped.
She wanted an open and secret struggle, a cunning commercial war, a shadowy battle.
But in reality?
She served as a mascot.
No!
To be precise, a 'proof'.
Her relationship with Marinda indirectly proving Cassandra Credos's identity — this kind of validation backed by Marinda made Anna uncomfortable.
But, she couldn't refuse.
Thinking of this, Anna's look towards Jimte and Kalal became more complicated.
After all, she regarded them as opponents.
Then, naturally, they would too.
Surely like her, they would have studied early on and started planning, only to be left with nothing.
More importantly—
'Are you also being coerced now?
Otherwise, with your composure, how could you create such a commotion during the day?
You too are not acting on your own will!
Just like me, not acting on my own will.
Truly a destiny-like arrangement!'
Thinking of this, Anna began to speak—
"Wait!"
Anna said, stepping out.
Unlike Amy and Shara, Anna wasn't wearing a hood.
Jimte and Lacar immediately saw what Anna looked like.
In an instant, the two of them recognized who she was.
Seeing their expressions, Anna sighed internally.
'As expected!'
Immediately, Anna felt she should show gentlemanly behavior.
No, gentlemanly behavior wasn't enough.
There needed to be mutual admiration between opposing knights.
"Gentlemen, we finally meet."
Anna said that.
And Jimte and Kalal nodded simultaneously.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Anna."
Jimte's face showed a smile again.
Internally, his thoughts were turning rapidly.
'Anna appeared in Cassandra Credos's camp.
This lady is not only proving her identity with Anna but also wants to show us that she is paying attention not only to Lord Arthur but also to Lady Marinda?
Indeed, this lady is still very dangerous.'
Kalal was much more straightforward.
'Even though the lady is already pregnant, shouldn't this 'love rival' disappear?
'Especially thinking about how his lady had publicly praised this lord's 'love rival' multiple times, even praising the other party.
The look in Kalal's eyes became dangerous.
As for why the two recognized Anna?
Of course, because of Arthur.
Their lord's 'love rival', how could they not thoroughly investigate?
However, their gaze was misunderstood by Anna.
Seeing those complex and dangerous glances, Anna exclaimed—
"I never thought we would meet here, in this way.
Destiny, oh destiny!
Truly a lament."
'Is this woman insane?'
Both Jimte and Kalal thought simultaneously.
Amy and Shara subconsciously distanced themselves from Anna.
They just inexplicably felt a bit awkward and embarrassed.
However, Anna, lost in her own world, paid no attention to these.
She couldn't see any of this.
She just continued speaking softly—
"Follow me.
You will see the answers you want!"
