In the back row of the spacious first-year lecture hall at Sage Academy, after Lanqi's words fell, the sudden tit-for-tat seemed to temporarily freeze all the sounds in the air, leaving only this oppressive, pervasive, unbreakable silence.
Even the midday sun shining through the window outside the classroom seemed a little dull.
The other students at this moment were like statues with different expressions. Some were staring at the scenery outside the window and listening with their ears, some lowered their heads to look at their books and pretended that they didn't care about anything, and some just sat in their seats and turned around to look.
No matter what, they all ate the melon in the back row silently.
The students who were watching the show finally realized what a despicable guy Lanqi was!
It turns out that the first sentence he said was actually a trap question!
Only after it was confirmed that Modan's habitual sarcastic remarks had been successfully induced did the subsequent legal warnings come into effect.
At this moment Modan's face was as dark as a pot and he said nothing. He felt as if he was being played by Lanqi.
After a few seconds that were actually short but felt long.
"How old are you?"
Lanqi finally asked again, breaking the silence.
Modan didn't understand what Lanqi meant by asking about age, so he didn't respond to Lanqi.
Or rather, Modan is no longer willing to answer Lanqi's questions casually.
"He's 19."
Hyperion told Lanqi on the side.
She probably understood Lanqi's intention a little bit. After spending some time together, she found that Lanqi's way of thinking was not completely incomprehensible, but it was difficult for ordinary people to follow.
Lanqi counted with his fingers and looked at Modan:
"Then you can come out when you're 27."
"?"
Modan was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Lanqi meant.
Lanqi didn't seem to be threatening him in any jargon-speaking way. Instead, he was seriously calculating the minimum eight-year sentence he could get for the defendant as the plaintiff's lawyer.
"Huh..."
Lanqi yawned, lazily leaned back on the table, then smiled at Modan and blinked his left eye.
It was as if he had just played a little joke on Modan.
However.
This friendly and non-aggressive behavior made Modan feel his blood pressure soar!
Modan's pupils trembled slightly, and his eyes were like a barrel of explosives that could explode at any time. Although his facial muscles remained motionless, his throat was tightly closed, as if trying to prevent the impulsive anger from turning into inappropriate words and bursting out.
"You should first see if you can wait until this duchess inherits the Alansar family, otherwise everything will be in vain."
Modan finally suppressed the anger and impulse that seemed to be ignited by the devil.
"Lanqi Wilford, if you don't want your Wilford Chamber of Commerce to be implicated, you'd better stop interfering in her affairs."
He stared at the relaxed Lanqi with a cold expression and threatened in a deep voice.
Lanqi frowned slightly when he heard this.
"In other words... if I continue to help Hyperion, you will try to bring down the Wilford Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's right. We, the Marquis of Gasigus, have plenty of ways to use legal business means to swallow up your entire enterprise at the lowest cost."
Modan became extremely cautious in his words and actions at this moment.
He knew that Lanqi's question just now was intended to once again induce him to reveal the "criminal evidence" in advance.
But repeating the same old tricks is obviously ugly.
Modan smiled coldly in his heart. He was sure that with his power he had plenty of ways to control this smart-aleck border boy.
For example, it is impossible for him not to care about his own Wilford Chamber of Commerce!
But the next second.
Modan never thought that—
Lanqi actually looked at him straight, as if he had seen a savior.
The genuine and expectant look in his eyes made Modan feel a chill.
"?"
What normal person would feel such indescribable joy upon hearing that his family business was threatened
How did your father abuse you since you were a child to make you hate the Wilford family so much? !
"In business wars, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you can swallow it, then swallow it. There is no need to notify me."
Lanqi shrugged and said with his eyes closed, looking heartless.
Modan took a deep breath, and he finally felt a sense of exasperation.
"Lanqi Wilford, it's useless to just talk. Your real ability will soon be exposed in the shadow world. I hope you don't embarrass yourself in the capital. Many people are watching you."
Modan also discovered that Lanqi's heartless look made him look like a demon!
No wonder he gets along so well with Hyperion.
"Huprienne, your mud boat will sink to the bottom of the sea with your dreams."
After saying this, Modan turned and left with a gloomy look.
Modan's words were full of conviction.
Because he knew that if Hyperion wanted to become stronger and get more chances to find her father, she could only beg him and submit to him.
One day she will figure it out and come find me.
…
After Modan left, there were finally many subtle noises rising and falling in the classroom.
Some perceptive students realized that the accusation that Lanqi had just made against Modan might be epoch-making.
Because many well-known universities in the southern continent have never had a precedent of successfully suing students from the same school and sending them to prison since their establishment.
Once Lanci started this bad thing, Hyperion hired him as a lawyer to threaten Modan.
Then the atmosphere of the Ikrit School of Magic is likely to be led astray by Ranchi.
In the past, if there were irreconcilable conflicts between students, most of them would go to the arena or the artificial shadow world with life protection to fight.
At worst, we can do something ruthless, bet something, and have a duel of dignity.
However, with Lanqi's demonstration, students will gradually discover that
For any campus conflict or dispute, the most effective and efficient method is to find a way to send the opponent directly to jail!
The back row of the classroom.
"well-"
Hyperion finally smiled helplessly.
From the moment she met Lanqi, she felt that this guy was serious but also full of absurdity.
If he were an opponent, he would definitely be a super freshman.
But if it is a teammate, then he must be the most beautiful freshman who makes people feel extremely at ease.
"Thank you, Lanqi."
"It's just a small matter. I always hate fighting and only like to mediate. There is no need for meaningless quarrels between classmates."
Seeing Modan leave, Lanqi lay on the table and murmured.
He felt like he was about to become the Emperor of Awakening again.
I stared at the clock with sleepy eyes and felt that every minute and every second was torture.
Don't want to go to class.
Now he doesn’t even have the energy to read the law exam books that he has been studying so hard for.
Just like when he was in high school, whenever he encountered a subject he hated, he would fall on his desk as soon as the teacher opened his mouth.
Lanqi was thinking, why not go to the movie world today
According to the rules and regulations of this school, if you miss classes due to challenging the Shadow World, it will not be counted as skipping classes, and you will be given a certain length of vacation for adjustment after passing the test.
Even if students participate in the Shadow World Challenge, the school will award them a small amount of real credits based on the difficulty and completion of the challenge - not only can they be used as credits for elective courses in any semester, but if there are enough credits, they can even offset the credits for required courses!
Therefore, many stupid warriors in the Knight Academy put all their efforts into the Shadow World, trying their best to replace the required courses in a roundabout way!
Lanqi now feels that he is also going to take this path.
I couldn't help but look at Hyperion.
She looked like she had a very easy time studying today, not at all like she was suffering as much as I was.
Moreover, Hyperion should be a person with a more cautious and stable character.
I don’t know if she will agree to go on an adventure in the shadow world with me.
