âCome with me the; weâll talk after meeting with Headmistress Perry,â Jessie said.
âFree her, sheâs not going to run away!â Mo Fan said.
âNo way!â Jessie insisted.
âMo Fan, forget it. I believe they must have a valid reason to confine me,â Li Yuâe shook her head, signaling Mo Fan not to have a conflict with the patrolling Magas.
Mo Fan was infuriated seeing Li Yuâe being taken away like a criminal. Were most women at this Alps Institute nothing but idiots? Li Yuâe was just a Psychic Mage. She might not even be stronger than the girl called Amelia, how could she possibly murder her? Not to mention the impossible task of killing more than a thousand little creatures on the mountain!
Mo Fan had to go with them. The girl had suffered serious injuries in New York. She endured so much pain, and was almost murdered by Philip because of him. He had always been guilty about it, so there was no way he could just sit back and watch now that she was being wrongly accused!
ââ
When they reached Faerun Castle, Mo Fan noticed that Ceylan and Brianca were not around. Headmistress Perry was sitting on a square rattan chair, staring at Li Yuâe, who was being escorted like a prisoner to her.
Li Yuâe stood there quietly. Her temperament did not shift even when she was being treated like a suspect.
âEnvy is truly a terrifying thing. It can rot a personâs heart and control their mind and soul,â Headmistress Perry said to Li Yuâe.
Li Yuâe looked at her without refuting it.
âHeadmistress Perry, can you please tell me why you suspect her of being the culprit?â Mo Fan seriously had no idea what was going on.
âItâs none of your business. As a student that has come to our school on exchange, your job is to focus on your studies. The Alps Institute will worry about how to deal with the culprit,â Headmistress Perry said imperiously.
âSheâs my friend. How is it none of my business!?â Mo Fan was enraged.
Was this Headmistress Perry brainless, too? She had accused Li Yuâe without any evidence. Was she thinking of making an innocent person the scapegoat to settle the incident?
âYou may leave now,â Headmistress Perry said coldly.
âNo way!â Mo Fan did not leave. He stood in front of Li Yuâe.
âYou might have dominated the World College Tournament, but donât you forget that youâre nothing to me!â Headmistress Perry suddenly rose to her feet. Her aura rose tremendously!
Mo Fan felt like Headmistress Perryâs figure had suddenly enlarged significantly, crashing onto him like an enormous mountain. He could feel himself trembling. He was struggling to stand straight under the great pressure!
Mo Fan did not think Headmistress Perry would pressure him with her aura. The pressure was even more terrifying than the force of Faerun Waterfall. His legs were shaking so much that he was about to drop to his knees on the ground...
Mo Fan clenched his teeth, forcing him to remain standing. He glared at the unreasonable Headmistress Perry.
Mo Fan had already felt like this Headmistress Perry was far from a good person when he and Brianca told her about the dead bodies on the mountain. The woman was a typical authoritarian without a conscience. She did not really care about the people under her. Her mind was fully occupied with the Casas!
âMo Fan, just go, the Alps Institute is known for being just. They wonât hurt me,â Li Yuâe blurted out. She panicked a little when he saw Mo Fan struggling to breathe properly under the great pressure.
âShe only joined the school a year ago. We donât know her background and what sheâs after. Besides, we also found traces of Ameliaâs blood on her. That alone is enough evidence to prove sheâs guilty. You are just a student, donât you dare think you can challenge my authority as the headmistress of the Alps Institute, nor can you question my judgment! If you continue to ignore the rules of the Alps Institute and disrespect us, I shall teach you some manners on behalf of the elders of the Pearl Institute!â Headmistress Perry grunted. Her voice was like a strong hammer blow in Mo Fanâs mind, making him feel dizzy.
âHeadmistress Perry, heâs just asking for an explanation. Thereâs no need to go this far...â a teacher spoke up.
Mo Fan kept holding his ground. He did not back off despite the pressure that Headmistress Perry was applying to him. However, he was already struggling to speak properly.
âThe evidence is definite, and the motive is clear. I have always been fair and just, I have never falsely accused anyone! Li Yuâe, your sleeve is stained with Ameliaâs blood. She must have been begging you to spare her life prior to her death, but you didnât. You brushed her hand away and killed her in such a brutal way, but the blood that was left on your sleeves has allowed us to see who you truly are!â Headmistress Perry said angrily.
Li Yuâe slowly raised her hand. She stared at a dark blood mark on her sleeve.
She had no idea when her sleeve was stained with the blood...
âYou thought your plan was perfect, but you didnât expect our school has a blood-tracking magic artifact. It can track anything that was stained with fresh blood, even if youâve already washed it off. No one can get away after committing such an unforgivable crime at the Alps Institute! You will be punished accordingly!â Headmistress Perry declared, pointing at Li Yuâe.
Li Yuâe looked back at Headmistress Perry, not avoiding the womanâs gaze.
She did not explain herself, not even a single word. She knew from Headmistress Perryâs attitude that no matter what she said, the woman would still heap the accusations on her. The cunning woman might even use whatever she said against her!
It was meaningless to explain herself when the interrogation was already biased!
âSo this is the Alps Institute! Acting unreasonably, forcing an innocent person to be the scapegoat to settle an incident, while the headmistress abuses her power to force an exchange student to submit to her will!â Mo Fanâs eyes flickered with anger.
He was struggling to breathe and speak from the pressure, yet it did not necessarily mean he was going to give up!
âSilence!â Headmistress Perry was enraged. She did not think the kid would still be able to speak and stand still after she fully unleashed her aura!
âYou are the one that should shut your mouth up, you old hag whose mouth is full of shit!â Mo Fan cursed at her.
âMo Fan...â Li Yuâe saw blue veins surfacing on Mo Fanâs body from the pressure he was under. She could also hear his bones cracking.
âI wasnât able to protect you in New York, and you were seriously injured because of it. This time, I wonât let them harm you. You have my word!â Mo Fan promised Li Yuâe firmly.
Li Yuâe looked at him, a little dazed.
She had been alone for so many years. It was her first time being protected by someone with no ulterior motives. Her heart was filled with a warm feeling...
