The scream caused Senile's face to change for the worse.
He glanced at Kieran, and the two of them hastened their steps and dashed into the coffee shop.
The coffee shop was in chaos.
Cups rolled on the thick carpet, coffee spilled everywhere, and high-back chairs were pushed down in the narrow corridor. The waiters and customers were panicking, screaming in fear as they ran out of the coffee shop.
"Stop!
Everyone, stop!
I'm Teacher Senile!
"No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"
Senile stood at the entrance of the coffee shop and shouted loudly.
The panicking crowd quieted down.
The title of a teacher was useful in Theorate. At least, it could provide some comfort to the people in times of panic.
"Who's the manager?"
Senile asked. When a middle-aged man came out, he said, "Please help me maintain the order."
Senile then dialed his communicator and contacted Professor Tyrese.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Professor Tyrese's firm answer made Senile heave a breath of relief. He turned around and wanted to say something to Kieran, but he realized Kieran had somehow walked into the coffee shop and was standing in front of the body with the dagger in its chest.
"Professor Tyrese will be here soon.
What's wrong? You found something? "
Senile said before he asked another question.
His question was instinctive, he didn't expect Kieran to answer.
Therefore, when Kieran kept quiet, Senile started to scan the surroundings. He had to gather more information before Professor Tyrese arrived.
But …
There was not a single valuable piece of information in the chaotic coffee shop.
Senile couldn't help but furrow his brows when he realized Derton was sitting in a dead corner after the assassination attempt.
Kieran suddenly asked.
"Is he Derton?"
"Yes, he is Professor Derton."
Senile nodded without a second thought, his face filled with sorrow.
It was the sorrow a normal person would feel when they saw a dead body. Even though they were on different sides, Senile still showed the proper respect for the passing of a professor.
After getting Senile's confirmation, Kieran went silent again.
He looked at the corpse in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
Professor Derton, who was sitting on the chair, wasn't just dressed neatly, his back was straight as well. If it wasn't for the dagger in his chest, he would look exactly like one of those etiquette books.
Obviously, this Professor Derton was a person who paid great attention to his appearance and etiquette. Even though his hair was already white, he didn't allow himself to be out of place. Such a person must have certain requirements for the environment he lived in.
At the very least, he shouldn't have chosen a place so close to the trash can.
Kieran glanced at the trash can in the corner.
The trash can, which was about to close for the day, was already full of garbage. As long as one was a little closer, one would be able to smell the pungent smell.
Even an ordinary person's sense of smell would feel uncomfortable at this distance, let alone a person at the level of a professor.
"To deceive others?"
Kieran glanced over the surveillance in the store, his eyes filled with confusion.
Was there a need to cover up before meeting Kieran?
Not at all!
Everyone knew what happened in Derton's lab, so there was no need to cover up. It was an unnecessary move.
Unless Derton wanted to tell Kieran something more secretive.
It was also because of this that Derton attracted a fatal disaster.
For example …
The Index of Eat!
It was the only thing that Kieran could think of that could be considered secretive between him and Derton.
Kieran shifted his gaze.
He looked at the murder weapon, a dagger plunged into Derton's body.
The dagger was extremely sharp without a doubt, but what concerned Kieran more was the person who wielded the dagger.
Being able to kill a professor with a single strike, the person must not be a simple person.
For the sake of safety, Kieran asked again.
"How strong is Professor Derton?
Those who can be addressed as professors in Theorate represent extremely powerful strength. Maybe their personalities might be flawed, but their strength is undeniable.
Senile answered in an affirmative tone.
"Then, do you have a candidate in mind?"
Kieran asked.
Compared to Kieran, Senile was undoubtedly more familiar with Theorate.
"No!
Among the people I know, there are many who are powerful, but none of them can kill Professor Derton with a dagger.
Maybe Professor Tyrese knows. "
Senile shook his head.
Kieran didn't say anything else.
He looked at the body in front of him, quietly observing and thinking. He felt like he had missed something.
Ding Ding!
The wind chime in front of the coffee shop rang. Professor Tyrese walked in with a serious look, and behind him were guards in uniform.
Professor Tyrese nodded at Kieran and Senile before he walked over to the body.
Professor Tyrese couldn't help but sigh when he saw the lifeless Professor Derton.
He knew from this moment onwards, things would go beyond his expectations.
Professor Tyrese put his hands together and bowed respectfully at the body.
Although both of them had their differences when they were alive, Tyrese would not pursue the matter after death.
Professor Tyrese was dead and Professor Tyrese was still alive, so what was the point of pursuing the matter?
Not only Professor Tyrese, but the guards behind him, including Senile, shared the same thought.
Three seconds later, Professor Tyrese put his hands down and put on his gloves. Just when he was about to check the body, Kieran, who had been thinking, suddenly said.
"Wait!
Everyone, leave now!
Hurry up! "
Kieran's tone was hurried. The people around him looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"2567, it's …"
"It's a trap!
It's a trap! "
Kieran pointed at Senile and was the first to walk out of the coffee shop.
Professor Tyrese was stunned. He then thought of something and his face changed.
"Hurry up!
Leave now! "
Professor Tyrese repeated Kieran's words. Everyone ran out of the coffee shop, and the moment they left, Professor Derton's body exploded with unimaginable heat. Two to three seconds later …
KABOOM!
The body exploded, and the powerful shockwave blasted the whole coffee shop to pieces. The shockwave then spread in all directions.
Flames rumbled and wreaked havoc within the shockwave.
Within a breath's time, everything within a 50-meter radius of the coffee shop was engulfed in a sea of fire.
What happened?
What was going on?
The rapid changes caused the people in the coffee shop to fall into a daze. Even the few unlucky ones who fell to the ground from the shockwave didn't know how to scream in pain.
They stared blankly at the scene before their eyes.
Senile was one of them.
However, unlike the others, Senile realized what was going on.
However, because he knew what was going on, Senile's face was pale even under the light of the fire.
He had been used!
Even Professor Derton had been used!
The murderer had perfectly used Professor Derton's excuse and the dissatisfaction in Senile's heart to create the scene before his eyes!
From a certain aspect, Professor Derton died because of him!
The murderer's ultimate goal was to use Derton's death to lure Professor Tyrese out!
Think about it, what would Senile do when he accompanied 2567 back to the coffee shop and found Professor Derton's body?
He would have contacted Professor Tyrese at the first possible moment!
If it wasn't for 2567's timely reaction …
Senile couldn't help but shiver when he saw the blazing sea of fire before his eyes.
He turned around and looked at Kieran, who had a calm expression, and forced an ugly smile.
"T-Thank you."
After thanking Kieran, Senile walked up to Professor Tyrese and lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake. "I'm sorry, Professor."
"It's fine, it's not your fault.
It's just that … "
Professor Tyrese comforted Senile, but he unconsciously looked at Kieran.
Likewise, Kieran also looked at Professor Tyrese.
"I think we need to talk."
Professor Tyrese said.
"Mm, I think so too."
Kieran nodded.
The two of them didn't leave the scene of the fire. They walked into an alley on the side, and Senile followed closely after Professor Tyrese signaled him to.
"Thank you for the reminder just now.
"I'll owe you a favor."
After entering the alley and making sure the surroundings were safe, Professor Tyrese thanked Kieran for what happened just now. Then, he paused and continued, "What do you think about Derton's death?"
"The Index of Eat."
Kieran answered in an affirmative tone.
Although Derton's death was a trap, Kieran didn't change his initial thoughts.
Professor Derton's death was still because of the Index of Eat.
As for Professor Tyrese?
Kieran was very confident that Tyrese was also investigating the Index of Eat and might have gotten hold of some crucial information. Otherwise, the murderer who killed Derton wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to set up a trap.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the murderer hated Tyrese to the bone.
So, Kieran asked straightforwardly.
"Do you have any enemies?"
"Yes, there are quite a few, but none of them can reach this level."
He should be here for the Index of Eat. "
Tyrese smiled bitterly and chose to be honest to a certain extent.
There was no need to hide anymore. When Kieran asked the question, Tyrese knew the First Seat must have guessed something.
Tyrese had a deep impression of the freshman First Seat.
Whether it was the strength that Kieran displayed that didn't belong to a freshman or his ability to remain calm at all times, Tyrese knew that Kieran would become a figure that would be carved in the history books of Theorate. However, until now, Tyrese realized that he had still underestimated the First Seat.
Kieran's performance wouldn't just go down in the history books of Theorate, he would become a figure that would leave behind all sorts of legends.
Maybe Kieran was still weak right now.
But as time went by, he would grow to become so strong that he would shock everyone.
Therefore, Tyrese would not allow anything to happen to Kieran.
"I don't know how much you know about the Index of Eat.
But I want you to leave right now.
I'll sign an application form for you to temporarily study in A Block, and after everything here is settled, I'll fetch you back. "
Tyrese said sincerely.
"You think I still have a chance to leave?"
Kieran asked.
"Anything is possible in A Block.
Senile will go with you, and there will be someone to take care of you, "Tyrese said with a smile.
Tyrese said with a smile and started to arrange for Kieran's trip to A Block.
From Tyrese's point of view, there was no reason for Kieran to reject when his life was on the line. Therefore, when he saw Kieran shake his head, Tyrese was surprised.
"Why?
Are you worried about the people behind Darwend and Garcia?
Don't worry, they … "
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have my reasons for not leaving."
Kieran interrupted Tyrese.
Perhaps something unexpected had happened, but it didn't affect Kieran's plan at all. In fact, from Kieran's point of view, it was all beneficial to him!
Because among all the unexpected incidents, Kieran faintly saw the real traces of the Index of Eat.
Given the circumstances, why would Kieran leave?
Tyrese looked at Kieran in confusion, and in the end, he sighed.
"I don't know why you chose to stay, but please be careful.
If you run into any trouble, contact me right away — I'll urge the blacksmith to hasten the production of your communication device, and it will be delivered to your apartment before dawn. "
Tyrese reminded Kieran.
"Thanks."
"Is Eiderburgh with you?"
Kieran casually asked after thanking Tyrese.
Tyrese was shocked, looking at Kieran blankly. He didn't know how Kieran discovered the secret, but he eventually nodded.
"Yes."
"You went to the cafeteria just to verify your guesses?
Eiderburgh didn't escape your eyes either? "
Tyrese couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
"I think you should pay more attention to Eiderburgh.
You are being targeted, and I don't think his condition is any better. "
After Kieran said what he wanted to say, he waved at Tyrese and walked out of the alley.
He didn't ask more about the Index of Eat because Tyrese would never tell him, even if Kieran owed him a favor.
Kieran would never tell Tyrese why he went to the cafeteria.
It was a matter of principle.
Seeing Kieran leave, Professor Tyrese took out his communicator and contacted Eiderburgh without a second thought.
Du, Du, Du.
The busy tone kept ringing, but no one answered.
