Chapter 160: Dinners Invitations
🕑 Added 2024-09-17 16:38:16 +0000 UTC"What?" Haruto furrowed his brows, surprised. Haruto's gaze was fixed on the words on the screen, as if trying to find an explanation behind this mission.
"Major damage to the Academy? What will happen?" murmured Haruto, still confused. The City Academy is a place with strict security.
It's hard to imagine a threat that could breach the defenses here. The entire academy area is monitored by high-level security protocols.
Ordinary days hardly ever see anything happening. The only time the City Academy is vulnerable is during major celebrations or long holiday events, but even then it's just a matter of simple guarding, not a significant external threat.
Haruto pondered for a moment, thinking about how absurd this was. It was as if Haruto was trapped in a cliché fantasy novel where schools were always the target of secret conspiracies.
"This academy is too tightly guarded. In fact, it's harder for someone to get in than for someone to get out," thought Haruto.
However, Haruto knew that this threat might be more dangerous than it appeared on the surface. If this mission is true, there is something bigger happening behind the scenes. Haruto clenched his fist, feeling tension spreading through his body.
Without wasting any time, Haruto decided to make a plan. The clone that Haruto sent out during the long holiday will be used by Haruto to gather various information in order to complete the mission. Haruto needs to be more careful this time, because whatever he will face could be more complicated than just a regular test or fight.
In the silence of the room, Haruto was devising a strategy. Whatever wicked plan was brewing at the Academy, Haruto would uncover it—and put a stop to it.
Haruto sat on the edge of his bed, his thoughts drifting far away, contemplating a plan that was not yet neatly arranged. He twirled a pen in his hand, his eyes focused on the corner of the room even as his mind wandered far away.
However, Haruto's daydream was suddenly interrupted when a soft knock sounded at his bedroom door. Haruto was then startled, as he quickly turned his gaze towards the door.
"Who?" Haruto murmured softly, as if speaking to himself, then slowly stood up. With cautious steps, Haruto walked towards the door, opening it with a mix of curiosity and wariness.
Haruto eyes widened slightly upon seeing Jie Li standing right in front of the room. Black hair flowing down adds a mysterious aura around. Jie Li's facial expression looked complicated, as if there was something bothering her mind.
"Is it Ms Jie Li? Can I know what's going on?" Haruto spoke in a confused tone.
"You..." Jie Li, who usually appears calm and assertive, seemed a bit unsteady this time. Mata Jie Li blinked several times, as if searching for the right words.
However, what emerged was only confusion. Jie Li just stared at Haruto, silent and still. There was an unspoken feeling reflected in her eyes, making Haruto even more curious.
"Is something wrong?" Haruto asked, trying to break the awkward silence.
"Haah... Forget it, it's not important. Clearly, you shouldn't leave before the event is over. Tomorrow you will be on holiday for a week." Jie Li took a deep breath and looked away for a moment, then Jie Li finally spoke.
"My mother is inviting you to dinner tomorrow night at our house. So, come on. Do you understand?"Jie Li paused for a moment, hesitating before continuing.
"Of course! I will definitely come, Miss Jie Li." Haruto's face looked a bit surprised, but he quickly hid it. Haruto immediately nodded enthusiastically.
Jie Li only glanced at Haruto for a moment, her expression turning serious again.
"Alright, see you tomorrow," Jie Li said briefly, before turning and walking away, her footsteps softly echoing in the empty corridor.
