Imperial City, Duke of Bauhinia’s mansion.

“Young master, Young Master, there is big news!”

“What are you making so much noise for? What have I always taught you? You have to be calm when you do things. Being so agitated every day is a disgrace to my Duke’s Mansion!”

The one who spoke was a young man named Lucian Oscar. He was the youngest son of the Duke of Bauhinia, Mark Oscar.

This man was the same age as Hughes this year. Before he was twelve years old, he had always been overshadowed by Hughes’ halo.

After Hughes failed to awaken and became a waste, he, Lucian, became famous in the Imperial City for being the genius of the Oscar family.

Three years had passed. The gifted Lucian had already replaced Hughes and became a hot celebrity in the circle of nobles in the imperial city.

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s my fault. Please punish me, Young Master.”

The servant had followed Lucian for many years, and he knew his young master’s temper very well. He quickly knelt on the ground and begged for punishment.

Lucian really enjoyed this. Seeing that the servant was frightened by his authority, Lucian was full of pride and pretended to be generous:

“Get up. Be careful next time. Tell me, what do you have to report?”

“Young master is merciful.”

After getting up, the servant did not tidy up his clothes. Instead, he immediately offered his flattery. Then, he told him what he had heard today.

“What? Hughes, that good-for-nothing, got his butler to sign him up for the exam at Hiro Royal Academy?”

After listening to the servant’s report, Lucian suddenly stood up and said ferociously, “Are you sure?”

“It’s absolutely true, young master. How would I dare to lie to You!”

“Hughes, you asked for it!”

Deng Deng Deng..

Lucian quickly walked down the stairs and stood in front of the servant.

“Arrange for people to be stationed all over the city. As soon as Hughes leaves the duke’s residence, I want to know his location immediately!”

Lucian’s face was ferocious as he muttered to himself,

“Hughes, this is the chance you gave me. This time, I, Lucian, will definitely make everyone in the imperial capital remember you.”

..

The next day, in Hiro City.

Hughes held Audrey’s hand as they walked out of a theatre.

“Sob, sob, sob, brother, that knight is so tragic. Sob, sob, sob…”

At this moment, Audrey was still immersed in the tragic ending, unable to extricate herself. Her tears were like pearls falling down a broken string with a pitter-patter.

Hughes reached out his hand to wipe the tears from his sister’s face and was about to offer words of comfort.

Suddenly, a voice that was extremely unpleasant rang in both their ears.

“Well, if it isn’t our great genius Hughes. I haven’t seen him for so many years, and I wonder what state he is in now.”

Then, accompanied by a burst of exaggerated laughter, Lucian Oscar with a group of lackeys, blocked Hughes and his sister theatre door.

“How is he a genius? He’s just a trash who has a poor affinity with the elements. Isn’t that right?”

“If we’re talking about a genius, it can only be our young master Lucian. Only Young Master Lucian is worthy of the title of the number one genius in the capital of God.”

Ever since he found out yesterday that Hughes had signed up to take the exam at Hiro Royal Academy, Lucian had arranged for people to patrol the city.

His luck was not bad. It did not take long for the people he sent out to find Hughes, who was watching a play with his sister, at the entrance of the theatre.

He hurried over. Lucian finally arrived before Hughes left with his people.
