Chapter 241 Is That Enough?
Just as Leon cursed inwardly, "Miss Hilda, we have searched everywhere we could, but we couldn't find any trace of Rachel.
We now believe that there is a 90% chance that Rachel is dead, and a 10% chance that..."
Hilda put down the book in her hand and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and said, "So, for the remaining 10%, do you think Rachel was captured by the tree people?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "At the moment, there are only these two possibilities."
"Is there any more information coming out from there?"
"This...something has changed inside Burbank. Apart from the initial news about the captives, there has been no further news. And...
Even when we contacted them, there was no response. We suspect the culprits have been eliminated."
Hilda frowned, "I don't want to hear any 'maybe' or 'doubt', I want...confirmed news!
Takla, you've been by my side for three years. I don't think I need to say these words again, right?"
Takla quickly knelt on one knee and said in a panic, "Ms. Hilda, please forgive my incompetence!"
Hilda shook her head. "It's not that you're incompetent, it's just that my expectations of you are a little high."
"..."
"Rachel's matter...you have to keep an eye on it yourself."
"Yes!"
Hilda took the book back in her hands and said calmly, "Anything else? If not, you can leave."
Takla thought for a moment and said, "The family... is very dissatisfied with your actions..."
Hilda frowned. "What's there to be dissatisfied with those old antiques?"
Takla glanced at Hilda, then quickly lowered her head. "They think you shouldn't give the hunting club to Alexander..."
"Ah……"
Hilda chuckled, "Is it possible that the older they get, the more naive their thinking becomes?
I already have control over the Witchcraft Club. Even if they don't have brains, they should know that the academy won't let me take care of both clubs!"
"The Patriarch said... we must strive for everything. Even if we can't get it, we must not let the enemy get it easily..."
"Takla, what do you think?"
When Takla heard this, he trembled with fear.
"My subordinates dare not!"
Hilda sighed, "I suddenly miss Rachel a little bit."
Takla: ...
Hilda continued to herself, "Whether Alexander can become my enemy...that's still to be seen. The conflict has already begun. Let's wait until he gets the qualification first!"
Takla was visibly shocked. In his opinion, Alexander and Hilda were both guaranteed to be the chosen candidates. How could they possibly not qualify?!
However, he also knew his young lady well. If she wasn't sure, she would usually not say anything...
So, who is it that can actually shake Alexander's position?
Could it be little George's son? !
I've heard rumors for a long time that the dean's grandson already has an illegitimate child...
"You can take this back with you."
Hilda's words brought Takla back to his senses, but also frightened him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"My subordinates dare not!"
Hilda shook her head. "I'll tell you to pass this on. It's fine, but if the family can't find someone who can challenge Alexander's credentials..."
From now on, those old fogies should stop bossing me around."
Takla finally understood what Hilda meant and quickly agreed.
At the same time, he was thinking about which wizards his young lady had come into contact with recently, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't come up with an answer.
The young lady never goes out, who did she meet?!
……
Black Bone Forest, auditorium.
Leon wasn't interested in the lively hunting club recruitment activities, so he turned his attention elsewhere, such as the professors who came today...
However, what surprised Leon was that these big guys had quietly left at some point.
"Mr. Leon is looking for the professor? They have already left, otherwise how could we let go if they were here?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Leon.
When he turned around, Leon opened his eyes slightly wide. It was James? !
What is he here to do?
Leon was puzzled, but so were Graya and the others.
Especially Billie and Bridget, they were already standing in front of Leon, protecting him behind them.
James held a wine glass in his right hand, with about one-third of the wine left in it.
James smiled, as if he didn't see the wariness and dissatisfaction on Billie and Bridget's faces.
"Miss Billie, Miss Bridget, long time no see."
Billie sneered, "Mr. James, this is the Potions Club, not..."
"Hey! Miss Billie! I'm really going to be sad when you say that! Even though we're not in the same club, we're still in the same college after all."
James raised the glass in his hand, "So, doesn't it make sense for me to come over and say hello and have a drink?"
After saying this, James turned his gaze to Leon.
“Also, I came here today mainly to get to know Mr. Leon, and at the same time, I also came here to apologize to Mr. Leon.”
Apologize?
Leon was a little confused. What kind of apology was he making?
Facing the gazes of Graya and others, Leon was not the kind of person who liked to hide behind women in formal occasions, so he walked past Billie and Bridget and faced James head-on.
James seemed to see Leon's confusion and took the initiative to explain: "I asked Crabbe and Gayens to deliver the invitation to Mr. Leon, but I didn't expect them to be so rude...
Mr. Leon, I apologize to you on their behalf."
"Of course, I know that, but my apology isn't enough, so..."
James waved behind him, and Crabbe came over with the somewhat uneasy Guyans.
Gayance adjusted his breathing, then habitually walked to a position half a body length behind James...
As a result, Crabbe gently pushed his back, and Gai Yangs finally reacted. Then he walked in front of Leon and shouted:
"Mr. Leon! I'm sorry!"
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of others in the venue.
Even Alexander, who was actively recruiting new members, was affected.
Some wizards who were waiting to see whether to join the hunting club saw the "excitement" and immediately turned around and rushed towards Leon...
Alexander suddenly became anxious. There were only a few people! He had made an agreement with the vice president that if he recruited 20 people tonight, he would get a reward!
Seeing this, Paidaxing, who was helping Alexander maintain order, couldn't help but wink at Alexander.
So Alexander quickly adjusted his facial expression and returned to his "cold genius" appearance.
This character was also recommended to him by Lamos.
After all, Alexander had a relatively poor foundation and it would be easy for him to "collapse" if he were to go for a "high-end personality". So, adhering to the principle that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, Lamos asked him to speak less and remain cool.
Because of his profession as a "little beggar", Alexander is always accustomed to smiling and even trying to please others, so it is difficult for him to understand how to be cold.
Later, with just one word, Laumos made Alexander a cold boy.
"Look at Hemeri more!"
These are the exact words of Lamos.
Then, Professor Hemerli discovered that Alexander would always peek at him from time to time, which made him a little confused.
Moreover, I always feel that the expression on Alexander's face when he looks at me... is somewhat familiar...
Alexander said nothing and just worked.
Even if it wasn't for the reward, he just wanted to make Lamos happy.
……
On the other side, the surrounding gazes seemed to have no effect on Leon, and his expression remained very calm.
"Mr. Guyans, what happened before is over."
Gayance heard this and looked back at James.
But seeing James still looking at Leon with a smile, Gayance bowed and apologized again, "Mr. Leon, I'm sorry!"
This time, Gaius's voice was louder.
All the wizards in the entire auditorium turned their attention here.
Alexander's recruitment process has come to a halt again...
Leon didn't look at Gayance again. He really had nothing to say about this puppet.
Leon looked at James and said calmly: "And then?"
Even though James was experienced, he didn't expect that Leon would say these three words.
James smiled and said, “Everyone says that Mr. Leon has a bad temper, but in my opinion, Mr. Leon is really too gentlemanly.”
Seeing the hidden meaning in James' words, Leon seemed a little embarrassed.
"Mr. James is the greatest gentleman. Under your influence... you see, Mr. Gayens is simply cast in the same mold as you."
Hearing Leon's words, several suppressed but very deliberate laughs were heard beside him.
It goes without saying that it must be the people behind him who had the courage to laugh.
No one else dared to laugh in front of James.
The smile on James's face became much stiffer, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mr. Leon, you are too kind. Logically, I should give Mr. Leon some compensation, but..."
James threw the wine glass in his hand, and Crabbe behind him caught it steadily, without spilling a drop of wine.
James spread out his palms, “Unfortunately, I was busy preparing for the banquet today and forgot to prepare a gift for a while, so I’d better vent for Mr. Leon!”
Before Leon could react, a huge golden hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and then...
It hit directly at... Guyans.
James's attack was extremely swift, and it came from behind, so he was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
"Crackling..."
The hard floor shattered directly, and many small pieces of gravel flew in all directions.
Fortunately, the "spectators" at the scene were not ordinary wizards, so everyone either dodged or blocked it, and in short, no one was injured.
Gayans couldn't help but scream. Only then did he finally understand why James said he was needed to appear in the evening...
So he was going to get beaten!
Leon was confused. Why were their own people fighting each other?
After the blow, James smiled and asked, "Mr. Leon, do you think it's enough?"
Without waiting for Leon to answer, Billie strode forward and stood to Leon's left.
"James! What the hell do you mean!"
James frowned, "I'm just apologizing to Mr. Leon!"
James held out his hand, "Crabbe, explain it to everyone!"
So Crabbe recounted what had happened that afternoon, distorting the facts and adding fuel to the fire.
Leon was the first to attack, provoking and insulting...
In short, Leon is a complete villain.
Moreover, the onlookers obviously believed it, because if Leon was the one being provoked, why would he still come to the dinner party to eat and drink so much?!
"you put……"
Leon stopped the furious Billie and gave her a reassuring look.
Then, Leon slowly walked up to Gayans who was lying on the ground.
He first looked down at Gai Yangs and found that although there was a lot of noise just now, Gai Yangs' body... had not suffered too much damage.
Then, Leon glanced around and found that everyone's eyes looking at him became complicated.
Disgust, fear, anger...
Even those few first-level low-level wizards in the Potions Club, who had originally relied on Leon's "east wind" to become the top 20 of the first-level low-level wizards, were still somewhat grateful to Leon, but now...
Leon suddenly laughed.
"I don't think it's enough."
James was stunned for a moment, and even Crabbe couldn't help shaking the wine glass in his hand.
"Mr. Leon, what did you say?"
Leon smiled at James, "I said...I don't think it's enough."
James laughed too.
"Hahahahaha! Okay! Since that's not enough, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Mr. Leon..."
"Harder."
James: "..."
Guyans: ???
James took a deep breath, and then the golden palm fell again, and this time, the tip of the middle finger of the palm almost brushed against Leon's nose.
"Boom!"
"what!"
Leon dropped his defense, and this time, James obviously increased his strength.
Because Guyans is vomiting blood...
"Is it enough?"
"not enough!"
"Boom!"
"what!"
This cycle repeated twice, and as James placed his palm down for the last time...
"Boom!"
This time, Gayans' screams... were not uttered.
At Crabbe's feet, perhaps because of the ground shaking just now, you could see a drop of purple-red liquid, the same color as the wine glass in his hand...
"Mr. Leon, is that enough?"
Leon didn't answer immediately. He looked at James, Crabbe, and then at the wizards around him...
"It's not enough, but... I think Mr. James is tired, so how about letting me do it myself?"
James had never expected Leon to say such ruthless words. He was speechless for a moment...
James, who is famous for his eloquence, didn't know how to answer!
