“Who is the director of my university that I’m supposed to meet?” Su Lu asked Donald as they strolled through the campus.

Su Lu asked Donald as they strolled through the campus.

“Lime Wench. A prominent factory owner in Nia City. He is a university director and has significant influence within the city. Of course… he is also a devout follower of the Goddess of Light!”

Donald replied.

Meaning, through him, we could get connected with the higher-ups in the church and the police station.

Moreover, a person in such high position must be aware of some knowledge in the Transcendent world; he wouldn’t assume that I’m joking.

Su Lu nodded: “Very well, we…”

Suddenly, he paused as he saw two people in police uniforms approaching them.

“Su Lu Pottery!”

The lady who was fronting, nailed and efficient, turned out to be Police Officer Marilyn!

“Hello, officer. How may I assist you?” Su Lu responded with a smile.

“About the previous incident, the case of Beryl, we need your help for further investigation at the police station,” Marilyn said seriously.

“Her again?

Su Lu felt a slight chill in his scalp.

But the next moment, Donald stepped forward: “Sorry…Officer, may I ask, about this so-called trip to the police station, I don’t think you have the right to invite anyone casually without proper justification. At least, we should arrange for a time in the presence of a lawyer! Because we have a prior appointment with the university director this afternoon!”

“And who are you?”

Marilyn frowned.

“Donald! Donald Wesley!” Donald flashed a standard smile, revealing eight shiny white teeth.

“Hmph!”

From behind Marilyn, a male officer glared at Donald.

Su Lu asked in confusion: “Can you elucidate what this is about? I shared everything I knew about the previous matter.”

“It’s just some additions…” Marilyn hesitated for a moment before answering.

‘Something’s wrong!’

Su Lu exchanged glances with Donald and said, “If that’s the case, please ask any questions now or consult my lawyer!”

“No need!”

Marilyn’s face suddenly turned sour. She shot Donald a sharp look, turned, and walked away.

“Actually, I don’t have a lawyer!”

After a moment, Su Lu suddenly spoke.

“No problem, I can introduce one to you! Don’t you feel there’s something wrong here?”

Donald said: “Rather than coming sooner or later, they choose to come at this time… Obviously, some information was leaked when I contacted them earlier, leading to some dispute?”

‘Is it an internal power struggle in the police force or a gambit of the upper echelons of Nia City? Don’t come looking for me if it’s a struggle at this level…’

If a nobody like me gets involved in such a tide, the outcome won’t be pleasant.

Su Lu fell silent for a moment before saying, “Let’s go see Director Wench immediately, handing over the intelligence.”

He’s just a small ant. Once he was devoid of value, no one would pay attention to him.

“Good decision!”

Donald hailed a carriage. They both climbed in and watched the scenery zooming past through the carriage window.

Half an hour later, the carriage halted in front of a classic villa.

The villa’s property was so large that it could almost be considered a manor.

‘It seems… being an entrepreneur in the White Eagle Federation is indeed lucrative, unfortunately…’

Su Lu followed Donald through the grand entrance, feeling regretful. They were led into the living room by a male servant.

The lavish hall was supported by marble columns with a soft red carpet covering the floor. The curtains were made of high-end flannel, exhibiting a noble and elegant purple color. They were drawn back, allowing the brilliant sunlight to seep through the windows, casting shimmering spots of light on the enormous crystal chandelier in the center.

“The master is taking a nap, please wait for a while!”

After declaring their intention, a butler—who was well-dressed, had neatly combed hair yet showing signs of aging—informed them, apologizing for the delay.

“No problem, we can wait!”

Donald took a seat on the sofa.

Next to him, two maids proactively served tin pots with red tea, as well as an ornate three-tiered silver plate. On each level of the plate, there were brightly colored, delicious-smelling pastries.

“Although it’s a bit early, I presume you gentlemen won’t mind having some afternoon tea, correct?”

The Butler subtly made the waiting seem less dull with his humorous conversations.

Surprisingly, Su Lu discovered that the butler was a college graduate who had studied history, science, and steam machinery. Regardless of the topic raised, he would respond smoothly. Su Lu couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. ‘Turns out a typical college graduate… might not even compare to a butler?’ Ding Ding!

As they engaged in pleasant conversations, time passed swiftly. Suddenly, a ring of a bell echoed through the air.

“My apologies!”

The butler excused himself for a moment and returned with a gentleman.

Su Lu examined this man—Lime Wench. He appeared to be in his forties, with brown eyes and curly hair. He bore mixed -race features and sported quite a beer belly.

To be honest, in terms of appearance, he fell short compared to the butler.

But the carefree demeanor on his face along with the confident air of a landlord clearly stated his ownership of the place.

“Good afternoon, Director Wench!”

Donald was the first to rise and shake hands, introducing him: “This is Su Lu

Pottery! ”

“Hello, young man!”contemporary romance

Lime reached out his hand and shook Su Lu’s, nodding in acknowledgement:

“Please have a seat. I believe… we could have a useful discussion!”

The servants and the butler, who was behind him, smartly left the room, shutting the door behind them.

Only Su Lu, Donald, and Lime were left in the entire hall.

“Um… where should I begin?

Su Lu coughed a bit to collect his thoughts: “Mr. Wench, how much do you know about… that matter?”

“Hehe…”

Lime took a sip of his tea, speaking in a languid tone: “A lot, so much that it exceeds your imagination… For instance, your Pottery family is a Transcendent house!”

Su Lu’s facial expression changed.

“Don’t worry, don’t be afraid!” Seeing his reaction, Lime chuckled, making a praying gesture: “We all are followers of the Goddess of Light, and the Pottery family has been devout worshippers of the Goddess for generations! Otherwise. why do von think your entrance test went so smoothly?”

Hehe… Do you aim to shock me with your intelligence, control the situation, and shatter my confidence?

Su Lu coldly smiled in his heart, but outwardly he displayed a surprised expression: “In that case, I can share a lot with you. I have discovered a secret of a Transcendent within the school and consequently fell under her attack!”

This was a typical case of making the result the cause, but Su Lu, of course, couldn’t speak the complete truth..
