"A hint of regret? I'd rather step over her soul every day. I'd rather spit on the potted flower that was nurtured with her blood. A person like her should be despised by the Alps forever! "Edith snarled in disgust.
She was completely different from her usual mischievous self. She was cold and cruel, as if she had been possessed by a demon. She looked so terrifying and unfamiliar, yet this was the real her. She had grown up in the Alps and received the best education. Headmistress Perry had even taught her magic personally …
The sacred Alps could nurture a young girl like Amelia, who was full of love and expectation toward the world. It could also nurture a murderer like Edith, who had never shown any remorse despite being drenched in blood. However, even after learning who the culprit was, no one felt relieved. Even their breaths were heavy and sorrowful.
"Then why did you curse Herr Casa? He didn't even hold a grudge against you!" Mubai blurted out in confusion.
"He deserved to die. He lied that he wasn't feeling well, yet he wanted me to accompany him in his room!" Edith said coldly.
"We'll hand her over to the Casas tomorrow. I believe they won't bother us with any excuses," Jessie stood behind Edith, ready to take her down.
Edith didn't resist. She knew resistance was futile. Brianca, Perry, and Ceylan's cultivation was something she would never be able to reach in her lifetime.
Headmistress Perry was speechless. She placed her hands behind her back and headed for Faerun Castle on her own. She did not need the support of her students. Her figure was getting further and further away.
Jessie brought Edith away. He sent a lot of people to keep an eye on her, to prevent her from running away.
…
"Mofan, why do you still look so troubled after everything is settled?" Li Ximei came up to Mo Fan. Her eyes flickered with admiration.
Li Ximei did not expect Mo Fan to have such a sharp mind, not only was he strong, but he was also able to figure out the reason behind the whole incident, even though she had no idea how it was going to turn out to be.
"I've investigated it. Edith was the one who poisoned the venison that the kitchen prepared for Herr Casa," Mofan said.
"Does that mean Herr Casa was poisoned first?" Brianca said.
"It's hard to say. The poison entered his body through his mouth. God knows what kind of Curse Herr Casa was placed on him when he tried to harm Edith. I have no idea where Edith learned those strange things. She's clearly not an Mage with those Elements," Mofan said.
"Indeed, it's hard to explain, but if a person's heart, the evil will naturally follow it," Brianca.
"There are still some things that I don't," Mofan said.
"She already admitted it herself. What else do you still not understand? Do you really want the people of the Alps Institute to be tortured by the Casas? She has done a lot of evil in the first place. Even if she wasn't the one who poisoned Herr Casa, it's reasonable for her to atone for the Alps Institute's sins," Zhao Manyan said.
"She was the one who did the Curse … (Sigh), forget it, my head is about to explode because of it," Mo Fan shook his head and glanced at the stars in the sky.
"Oh, Mo Fan, you've really impressed us. As expected of someone from the Clearsky Hunter Agency, even us old folks are impressed by your capabilities," Professor Li said with a smile.
"You've done the Alps Institute a great favor. I believe the headmistress will try her best to help you during the trial. They will remember your kindness, too. The doors of the Alps Institute are always open to you!" Professor Zheng said.
"I almost forgot about it. I have to go to court in a few days …" Mofan said with a wry smile.
…
…
Early in the morning, Mofan was still sleeping soundly when a loud noise came from outside. The vase in the room fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Mofan rose to his feet. He was utterly confused. Everything had been settled. It was supposed to be a peaceful morning with birds chirping and flowers blooming. Why was it so noisy all of a sudden?
Mofan put on his clothes and went to the scene. He saw two powerful auras colliding with one another. The noise came from the impact of the impact on the nearby buildings.
"Headmistress Perry, are you sure you want to do it?" Elder Ling asked Headmistress Perry furiously.
Headmistress Perry stood there in plain clothes. She looked even more haggard than yesterday, but her eyes did not dim in the slightest. She was facing Elder Ling of the Casas head-on. No one within a few hundred meters of them dared to come any closer due to their formidable auras.
"I've made up my mind. If Elder Ling really wants to stir up trouble at the Alps Institute, or hurt any innocent student, I, Perry, will not let you leave here in one piece, even at the cost of my life. Elder Ling, Edith is my student. Even though she has committed such a heinous crime, she is still a student of the Alps Institute. She should be punished according to the law of the Holy Judgment Court, instead of handing her over to the Casas so you can torture her soul endlessly! "Headmistress Perry said sternly.
Headmistress Perry did not back down. She had gone from being respectful toward the Casas in the beginning to openly going against them. Headmistress Perry seemed to have turned into a different person. Mofan had a whole new level of respect for the wicked old woman!
Edith was present too. She had been watching everything coldly, but after Headmistress Perry said those words, her eyes finally flickered and showed some emotion.
"Headmistress Perry, we aren't afraid of the Casas. If they really want to oppose us, just let them come. We'll let them know that the Alps Institute isn't afraid of any faction!"
"Headmistress, let's teach these arrogant renowned clans a lesson!"
Many people were supporting Headmistress Perry. As a matter of fact, Headmistress Perry could easily hand Edith over to them. She might still be able to salvage the relationship with the Casas, but she did not do so.
The Alps Institute had its own dignity. Even though she had committed many crimes, as long as she was still a member of the Alps Institute, she should accept the fairest judgment, instead of handing her over to the Casas just because they were pressured by the Casas!
This was the real Alps Institute, with flesh of ice and bones of jade, as firm as the edge of an iceberg!
