"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the details. But I must drop out. "Lilia looked at Ford seriously and said," Father has already agreed to it. "
Fang Xingjian wanted to groom Lilia, and it would naturally involve many secrets. This was also the reason why he did not want others to know about it.
"Even your father has agreed to it..." Ford was no fool. Seeing Lilia's serious expression, as well as the fact that even Kirst's City Lord had agreed to it, he knew that there was no way he could stop her. He patted Lilia's shoulder and said, "I still feel that nothing is more important than becoming a Knight. But since you guys have already decided, I won't stop you."
Ford shook his head and sighed, "You can go."
Lilia nodded and left. Just then, Kite, who had been hoping that Ford would persuade Lilia, became anxious. He grabbed Lilia's shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, Lilia. You mustn't leave just like that..."
However, just as he finished this action, a cold gleam flashed in Lilia's eyes. Two slaps rang out, and Kite only saw black shadows darting around before he was sent flying, landing on the ground.
The next moment, he felt an intense pain coming from his stomach and chest.
He lifted his head, stared at Lilia, and said, "Lili, you've completed your job transition?"
For Lilia to be able to widen the gap between them so much, other than her having completed her job transition, he could not think of any other way.
"I haven't completed my job transition. I've only become a little stronger. Kite, it's impossible between us. So, don't bother me anymore. Goodbye. "
Looking at Lilia's departing back, Kite tried his best to stand up. However, he felt an intense pain in his chest and stomach, and was unable to get up even after a long time.
Kite bellowed in his heart, 'No... I mustn't let Lilia leave just like that. Giving up her future as an Empire's Knight and joining some faction... What kind of joke is this... '
Seeing Kite walk out unsteadily, Teacher Ford shook his head, "Lilia's mind has already been made up. You should know her temper. She won't change it easily."
Kite clenched his fists tightly and walked out slowly, determined to get Lilia back.
Ford shook his head and sat down, feeling increasingly curious. What faction was it that was so powerful that it could make Lilia and her father, Kirst's City Lord, agree to drop out?
"But what faction can compare to being an Empire's Knight? Lilia's talent is not bad, and she should have no problems in this year's Prefectural Selection. It's a pity to give up just like that."
Half an hour later, a group of men in black entered Rutherford's office. Rutherford stood up and said, "Who are you guys? Who allowed you to come in! "
But just as he finished speaking, a few black shadows flashed and grabbed his hands and feet, pressing him down on the table.
The absolute suppression of power made him unable to resist at all.
"These guys are all knights? And none of them are weaker than me … "Ford immediately realized the problem.
The leader of the black-clothed men said calmly, "Miss Lilia is more polite, but we are different. I'll ask you one more time, where is her file? "
Within a short ten minutes, all of the information Lilia had left behind in the school had been erased. Other than the students who really knew her, there was no longer any information related to her in the school.
Ford recalled the killing intent from the few Knights earlier, as well as their experienced cooperation in suppressing him. He thought to himself, 'This is definitely something that only soldiers who have gone through hundreds of battles can do. And to be able to mobilize such a top-notch Knight at will … Lilia, what faction did you join? ' Thinking of this, he stood up and walked toward the Headmaster. 'I can't just let this go. The organization Lilia joined is too dangerous …'
One of the black-clothed men removed his mask after leaving the school, revealing his black-haired and black-eyed appearance. He said, "That's it?"
"What else? Young Master Li is one of the school's board members. He'll settle the rest. "
"Zhou Xingwen will naturally be in charge of the other matters …"
…
Teacher Ford walked into the Headmaster's office and said anxiously, "Headmaster, someone barged into my office just now and asked me to bring them to take away Lilia's file."
"Haha, Ford, since when did you like to joke around?" The Headmaster was a middle-aged man with a kind countenance. He looked at Teacher Ford and smiled. "All the alarms and prohibitions weren't triggered, and the guards didn't discover anything either. No one barged into the school."
Ford was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's because the people who barged in this time around are all experts. Each of them are top-notch Knights who are not weaker than me, and they're all veterans in the battlefield. They have experience and instructions. This is why they were able to hide from the school's alarm system."
"Headmaster, if you don't believe me, you can go to the archives. The administrator there has already been knocked unconscious. There's also Lilia. Her file is no longer there."
"Lilia?" The Headmaster smiled gently and said, "I don't remember having such a student in our school."
"Lilia? She's the one I'm guiding …" As Ford spoke, he slowly came to a stop. He looked at the smiling Headmaster and said, "Headmaster, you don't remember Lilia?"
"I remember every single student in our Knight Academy, but there's no such person in our school as Lilia, right?" The Headmaster then stared at Ford and said, "Is that right?"
A powerful pressure gushed forth, and the warning in the Headmaster's eyes seemed to have materialized. Behind the gentle smile, there was a blatant chill.
A hint of comprehension flashed in Ford's eyes, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Look at my brain. I've gotten everything mixed up. That's right. There's no Lilia in our school, and no one came to kidnap me earlier. I was just spouting nonsense in my sleep."
The Headmaster stood up, patted Ford on the shoulder, and said, "Ford, you're too tired. Go back and have a good rest. I'll grant you a month's paid leave."
Half an hour later, Ford slowly walked out from the Headmaster's office, and a hint of graveness flashed in his eyes. The entire matter was riddled with mysteries, but one thing was for sure. There was an invisible hand stirring things up behind the scenes, and the other party's influence far surpassed his imagination.
Just then, Kite walked over anxiously, "Teacher, are you able to contact Lilia's family?"
"What's wrong?"
Kite said, "We just went to Lilia's apartment. Someone else is living there. Even the furniture and decorations have been changed. Even the landlord is not the same person. All of the neighbors have said that they don't know any Lilia."
Ford's brows furrowed. "Kite, Lilia probably hasn't gone missing. It's just that her Master is extremely powerful and far surpasses your imagination. It's best that you forget about her."
To be able to make such a great move and almost completely wipe out all traces of Lilia in the Great Western City, Ford understood that this meant that the other party's influence far surpassed his imagination.
With that, Ford turned to leave, leaving behind a dazed Kite whose eyes were still filled with stubbornness.
