Chapter 430: Dark Secrets Behind the Scene

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsI’m sorry, I’m unable to tell you the details. However, I must drop out from the academy.” Lilia looked at Ford seriously and said, “My father has also agreed to it.”

Since Fang Xingjian was going to nurture Lilia, there would be many top secrets involved. This was also why he did not want to let others know.

“Even your father has agreed…?” Ford was no fool after all. Seeing how serious Lilia looked, and after knowing that even Kirst’s City Lord had agreed to this arrangement, he knew that he was unable to stop her. He pat Lilia on the shoulder and said, “I still think that nothing is as important as becoming a Knight. However, since you guys are decided, I won’t stop you either.”

Ford shook his head and let out a sigh, then he said, “You may leave.”

Lilia nodded and left. At that moment, Kite, who had been hoping that Ford would be able to convince Lilia, grabbed onto Lilia’s shoulder and said, “Wait, Lilia… You mustn’t leave just like this…”

However, he had just completed this action when a gleam of cold light flashed in Lilia’s eyes. Pa pa! Two sounds rang out, and Kite could only see black shadows darting about before his eyes as he flew out and landed face down on the ground.

At the next moment, he felt a tremendous pain in his stomach and chest.

He lifted his head and stared at Lilia while saying, “Lili, you’ve completed your job transition?”

For Lilia to have closed off the gap between the two of them within just a short period of time… Kite could think of no other possibility except that Lilia had already completed her job transition.

“I haven’t completed my job transition. I’ve only gotten a little stronger. Kite, it’s impossible between us. So, don’t bother me anymore. Goodbye.”

Looking at Lilia’s departing back view, Kite struggled to stand up. However, the pain in his chest and stomach was so bad that he was unable to stand up even after a long while.

Kite bellowed inwardly, “This won’t do… I can’t let Lilia leave just like this. For her to give up a future of becoming the Empire’s Knight and join some other faction… What kind of joke is this?”

As Teacher Ford watched Kite walk out slowly with a shaky gait, he shook his head. “Lilia has made up her mind. You should know her temper and that she won’t change her mind easily.”

However, Kite clenched his fist and walked out, little by little. He had made up his mind that he was going to get Lilia back.

Ford shook his head again and sat down, feeling increasingly curious about which faction it was which could be so amazing that both Lilia and her father, Kirst’s City Lord, agreed to her dropping out from the academy.

‘But what kind of faction could be compared to being an Empire’s Knight? Lilia’s talent isn’t bad, and she would have no problems with the Prefectural Selection this year. It’s really such a pity for her to give up just like this.’

Half an hour later, a group of men dressed in black entered Ford’s office. Ford stood up and said, “Who are you guys? Who gave you permission to enter?!”

However, just as Ford finished speaking, the several black-clothed figures flashed over consecutively and grabbed onto his limbs, pressing him down onto the table.

Being suppressed by this absolute power, Ford had no means of resisting.

‘These few guys are all Knights? And each of their strength is in no way weaker than mine…’ Ford immediately came to a realization.

The leader of the men dressed in black said calmly, “Miss Lilia is more polite. We’re different. I’m only going to ask once. Where are her records?”

Within a mere ten minutes, all information Lilia had left behind in this academy was wiped out. Aside from the students who had truly gotten to know her, there was no other information in the academy which was related to her.
