1492 The Tricky Poison and Curse (2/2)

”It means I have to make a choice; whether I should get rid of the Curse or cure him of the poison first!” Ceylan said.

”Does it make a difference?”

”If the order is right, the young duke will be fine. If the order is wrong, it will multiply the effects of the latter a hundred times!” Ceylan replied.

”A hundred times? Wouldn't that kill him straight away!?”

Ceylan nodded.

The group was astounded. Who could put Herr Casa under such a terrifying Curse?

The group was surprised by some rapid footsteps. They realized someone was knocking on the door after a moment.

Their hearts were racing after hearing about the Curse and the poison. Their nerves had were taut.

”Miss Brianca, you're finally here… why are you here too? Leave, we are discussing something important!” Sheryl saw Brianca at first, but her face darkened when she saw Mo Fan behind Brianca.

Li Yu'e was with them, too, but it felt like she did not exist when she was not speaking. The others would just ignore her existence.

”What happened? What's with the look on everyone's face?” Mo Fan asked indifferently after seeing their reaction.

”It's none of your business,” Sheryl said angrily.

”Let him stay, I believe this has something to do with the strange incident that happened the other day.” Ceylan went to the entrance, and slowly closed the door, signaling Mo Fan and Li Yu'e to take a seat.

Headmistress Perry was annoyed just looking at Mo Fan, not to mention she was deeply troubled by the disastrous thing that had just happened. She looked completely like a hateful old witch at this point.

Ceylan explained what had happened to Herr Casa to Brianca. Both Brianca and Mo Fan were astounded.

”How dumb is that Herr Casa? Isn't he a Super Mage? Did he seriously let someone poison him and place him under a Curse?” Mo Fan swore.

The others could not help but agree with Mo Fan. A person with a higher cultivation would be much more sensitive toward potential dangers. How was it possible for someone to poison him and place him under such a deadly Curse so easily?

”The Curse and the poison are extremely tricky. We have to find the person that did it. Otherwise, we won't know the proper sequence. I'm pretty sure it's related to the incident that happened before,” Ceylan said.

”Why is that? I can't see how the two are related?” Edith asked.

”They shared the same goal: the culprit wants the Alps Institute to be destroyed! If Herr Casa dies here, the Casas will raze this place to the ground. Even though the school won't necessarily be any weaker, it's still going to end up as an epic battle!” Mo Fan stated.

”Why do you sound like you are gloating over it?” Sheryl said angrily.

”Why would I be gloating over it? I have no grudge against the Alps Institute except for you, you, and you. I will never hate an entire group of people because of a few shitheads among them. Besides, what would I even get if your school goes down? Miss Brianca and I have been searching for clues to find the culprit, but not only aren't you grateful, you still treat me with such an attitude! If Li Yu'e wasn't my friend, if it isn't for Miss Brianca's beauty and sincerity, why would I bother with your shitty business!?” Mo Fan shot right back.

Headmistress Perry was enraged. She was about to lose her temper when Ceylan stopped her. Ceylan signaled Headmistress Perry with her eyes that it was more important to resolve the problem than throw a tantrum!

”I already said that the culprit has a strong hatred toward the school. You should have dealt with the matter right away, instead of concealing the truth, but none of you listened. You now find yourself at the edge of the cliff after all the trouble… forget it, now is not the time to put the blame on anyone, let's discuss the matter first,” Mo Fan went on.

”You sounded as if you can settle it, humph!” Headmistress Perry said coldly.

”I've made some progress, but I need to confirm something first,” Mo Fan looked at Ceylan.

Ceylan was confused. What did Mo Fan want to confirm, and why was he directing it at her?

”Miss Ceylan, did you have another disciple before you recruited Heidi? Did she want to become the best Healer, and successfully earn the attention of the Parthenon Temple, who tried to recruit her to join the Hall of the Goddess?” Mo Fan asked in a serious voice.

Ceylan was stunned for a moment. She seemed to be acting a little unnatural.

Headmistress Perry frowned, too.

Edith was infuriated by the question, too. She pointed at Mo Fan and snarled, ”Why would you bring the matter up now? Where did you hear about it? If I knew you had some ulterior motives for coming here, there's no way Sheryl and I would have let you enter the school!”

Ceylan took a deep breath and said, ”Edith, let him finish!”

”It's quite a coincidence, too. The student's father used to be a Mage from the Sacred Hall of Liberty. After the student died, her father betrayed the Sacred Hall of Liberty and joined the Black Vatican. He tried to kill me when I was in New York. I heard about what happened to his daughter... her father's name was Philip, right?” Mo Fan asked.
