”Let's hope Amelia's murderer and the person that poisoned Herr Casa are the same people; that way, we might still have a chance to fix this,” Mo Fan said.
”What do you mean by that? Are you telling me that you still don't know who the culprit is?” Sheryl said angrily.
”If Herr Casa was poisoned in the school, the culprit must be from the school, instead of an outsider. Therefore, she's most likely the same culprit that is still hiding in the school. I'll need to borrow something from you. I should be able to find out the reason behind Amelia's death with it...” Mo Fan said.
Before Mo Fan could finish, a huge blast suddenly took place outside, like a huge building had collapsed all of a sudden. The rows of bookshelves in the meeting room fell to the ground, books scattering all over the place!
The glass in the room shattered into pieces. They looked outside the window and saw a clock tower close to the edge of the school grounds collapsing. Its debris was blown into the air before crashing onto the delicate statues, bushes, and little bridges in the school.
”This is absurd!” Headmistress Perry was enraged. She was the first to run out of the room.
The other teachers followed. Mo Fan went after them to see what was going on.
The clock tower of Faerun School had been destroyed. The structure had been around for a long time, not to mention it was extremely close to Herr Casa's room. Headmistress Perry initially thought the culprit had struck again. She was planning to catch the culprit red-handed, but to her surprise, the person responsible did not bother leaving. He stood opposite the structure that collapsed and looked down at the students who were fleeing for their lives in panic.
The man's black and white suit drifted in the wind. He was glaring at Headmistress Perry.
”It's you!” Headmistress Perry recognized the man right away. Her face was filled with shock.
”It is me. Headmistress Perry, I'm getting more disappointed in you. I don't believe you would dare to harm the successor of our clan, but how could you allow such a vicious person to sneak into your Alps Institute without you knowing… consider the fate of this building a warning from the Casas. You better hope the young duke is going to be fine in the end. Otherwise, I won't just destroy the building, I won't let a single person leave the building alive!” the elder from the Casas threatened them imperiously.
The elder from the Casas was remarkably strong, obviously an authority figure in the Casas. He even considered himself a senior to Headmistress Perry, and completely ignored her anger.
”We sure will explain ourselves to you, but Elder Ling, aren't you being a little too ruthless? This is a sacred school, not a place to repay kindness with evil!” Headmistress Perry protested.
”We are already trying our best to get rid of the Curse that the young duke is placed under. May I ask you not to pressure us any further!?” Headmistress Perry exclaimed.
”If I don't, how would I know that you're indeed doing your very best to save the young duke's life? I will give you a day's time. If you don't hand over the person responsible, I shall find the culprit in my own way! I'm giving you a chance before it's too late!” Elder Ling declared coldly.
