28 Take Care of Them (1/2)

Floor 70 - Zhao Residence

In a well-furbished dining room, three people sat eating dinner. Lily Zhao smiled as she pierced her salad with a fork. ”Dad, I will be moving out to the dorms soon. All A.S. students are required to live in dorms during our first year.”

Zhao Bohai nodded in approval. ”Excellent, this will be a good chance for you to network. Make sure to choose your acquaintances wisely.”

The beautiful middle-aged woman next to him cried daintily. ”My darling baby girl is growing up so fast.” She wiped away her tears. ”I'm sooo proud of you.”

Lily smiled. ”Thank you mother.”

Wang Ruolan pouted. ”But Lily darling, why did you choose to go to A.S. Academy. It's ranked fourth. If you chose Havilland Academy, you surely would have better prospects no? My brother said the headmaster would be delighted if you attended. And your cousins go there too. They can help you if you ever need anything. I hear many top students are there as well.”

”Mother, you might be surprised.” Lily put down her fork. ”Although Havilland is number one in name, everyone in the upper circle knows that A.S. Academy is the true king.”

”Lily is right my dear,” Zhao Bohai smirked knowingly. ”A.S. is certainly a better choice than Havilland if we want to make connections to the higher circles.”

”Really?” Wang Ruolan frowned skeptically.

Lily pointed a finger. ”For one reason, Leo Wu.” Her eyes sharpened.

”For whatever reason, he does not participate in the competitions that determine school ranking. However, it is an undeniable fact that if he did, A.S. Academy would soar to first place and beyond.”

”Him alone?” Wang Ruolan frowned. ”Surely not?”

”My dear, you need to pay more attention to the Aces list instead of shopping catalogues.” Zhao Bohai chuckled.

”Leo Wu managed to top the Ace list when he was merely 17. Not only was he talented in combat, he made significant contributes to the academic fields as well. He conquered more than 50 A—class dungeons and remains the only person to clear an S—class dungeon. Now, as the youngest general on the battlefront, he is the key to the stalemate that keeps the peace.” Lily was familiar with the prestige of Leo Wu. He was someone that she admired as well.

”A general?! If Lily can snatch him, then it would be great for our Zhao family.” Wang Ruolan beamed.

”Mother,” Lily admonished, ”I might not even be able to befriend him, much so that.” She tapped her fingers thoughtfully. ”Besides, I don't think it would be wise to make that move.”

Zhao Bohai nodded in agreement. ”Lily is right. I hear that the Su family is adamant on establishing a marriage with Leo. The union of the two families should be expected. We do not have the capability to go against them currently. Therefore, our target not him.” He looked expectantly at Lily.
