Over the years, Baiyi had maintained a good relationship with Umbra. Due to the presence of a certain silly-cute assassin, the Assassin Walker, the two parties had worked together many times. However, they had only exchanged information and technical support; Umbra had never asked Lady Assassin Walker to kill anyone for them.
Umbra had also invited Lady Assassin Walker to return to the organization, promising her the position of second-in-command. However, the Assassin Walker had rejected the offer with the excuse that she already had someone she liked, and that she was already married. According to Umbra's own rules, an assassin like her had the right to leave the organization, so in the end, Lady Assassin Walker had only accepted the title of Umbra's advisor.
However, she had secretly helped Umbra train a few young assassins from time to time, earning herself the title of Phantom Master. She even ran to Baiyi and boasted, "Idiot! Idiot! Those kids are calling me Master now! How's that? I'm more powerful and mature than you thought, right? "She even put on a look that begged for praise and a pat on the head.
'Those assassin students must be blind to think that this silly-cute girl is a Master, right?' That was the only thought in Baiyi's mind at the time. Later on, he heard that the assassins who received her short-term training improved by leaps and bounds, and soon, they became the brightest stars in the organization. Thus, the Phantom Master's Secret Special Training became a legend within Umbra. The students who were sent to the Phantom Master were no longer lousy apprentices. Instead, they were gifted geniuses, or ace assassins who had been famous for a long time but could not advance any further.
Later on, the Phantom Master's Secret Special Training became an honor and reward for the organization. Only assassins who had made outstanding contributions or had a bright future would be sent to the Phantom Master. The Phantom Master's Secret Special Training suddenly became the most sought after mission in Umbra. Soon, Da Xue became a secret training ground for Umbra's assassins. Later on, Da Xue would hold a secret special training session every year under the guise of the Advanced Class.
'Is Lady Assassin Walker really that good?' At one point, Baiyi had a feeling that Umbra was like Mia, the kind of person who only knew how to act cute. However, regardless of whether he understood it or not, Umbra had already established a close relationship with the Da Xue. It was not an exaggeration to say that the Da Xue was a peripheral intelligence agency, and it was normal for other Voidwalkers to visit Umbra from time to time.
Just like the Lich's operation this time, the acceptance of the wanted mission and the reward were all handled by Umbra. Most of the wanted targets were also Umbra's targets, and Umbra also helped to find the targets' locations. The Lich also acted as Umbra's hired thug, but this kind of thing could be considered as both sides taking what they needed, right? Umbra had used the Lich's powerful combat power to complete his mission, and the Lich had also used this opportunity to hunt some souls that Baiyi could not find fault with to perfect his green version of the Enslaved Souls.
"Wow, this partnership of yours is quite positive, huh?" Baiyi asked, amused. "But aren't you afraid that I'll take back my Saint Quartz staff?"
"Didn't I already pay?" the Lich replied confidently.
"You want to buy a Saint Quartz staff with that little bit of money?!" Baiyi asked.
"That's why I'm asking for payment in installments," the Lich replied. The Lich was prepared and replied, "I believe that you, who claim to be from the Order Faction, will accept my request right?"
Baiyi was at a loss for words. Regretfully, he returned home alone. He did not care about the money, but the Saint Quartz Staff was a gift from his goddaughter, Vidomina. Now that the Lich had snatched it away from him, he was not too happy about it. He wondered if Vidomina would mind it.
At that moment, Vidomina, the youngest vice principal of Da Xue, did not care about such trivial matters. Her face was streaked with tears, and she was hugging her mother tightly. Both mother and daughter had cried their hearts out, and their eyes were red and swollen. They leaned against each other, licking the wounds in each other's hearts.
"Alright, you're a big shot now. You shouldn't cry over such trivial matters," Lady Harllotte said as she gently stroked Vidomina's back. Lady Harllotte gently stroked Vidomina's back. The familiar touch reminded Vidomina of her mother comforting her when she was a child. She buried her face in her mother's chest like a real child and mumbled, "I'm not a big shot …"
"You can't say that. I've heard of your name even when I was away from Da Xue. Da Xue's new favorite, the Iron and Blood Principal!" Lady Harllotte said, wiping away the tears on Vidomina's face. "It seems that your godfather thinks highly of you."
"Those students made up names for me!" Vidomina grumbled in dissatisfaction. Putting aside the new favorite, the Iron Blood University's Principal Baiyi had been making fun of her. Although she was beautiful, and her pink hair was eye-catching, she was not popular among the students. She had been in charge of managing the students, and she had inherited Baiyi's rigid, old-fashioned style. She had always been stern and strict in front of the students, so she was not very popular among the students. In fact, she was probably on par with her godfather in terms of popularity. They were both at the bottom of the list, and they could not compare to idol-level professors like Mia, Nota, and Attie. Unfortunately, her position was higher than the other girls, so it was only natural that she would receive more hostility.
As for the fact that she was called the Great Principal, even though she was only a vice principal … What did 'Great' mean?
Even so, Vidomina still received a lot of pink love letters. When she was in a good mood, she had patiently opened a few of them, and they were filled with perverted messages asking for whipping, trampling, and other perverted messages asking for her to wear black stockings and step on them.
Vidomina had not read any of those silly love letters since then. She had no idea who had sent them. She did not expel the students because there was no rule in Da Xue that stated that writing love letters would result in expulsion. On the other hand, the other girls were flooded with love letters, and it did not seem right that she did not receive a single one.
Vidomina told Lady Harllotte about these things while she was taking a bath, and the beautiful lady giggled. She then commented on Vidomina's delicate skin and voluptuous figure and comforted her, "These boys don't know what true beauty is …" Then, she buried her face in Vidomina's chest.
"Ouch! What are you doing, Mommy?! Ouch! Don't lick me! "Vidomina cried out in alarm.
A few moments later, the mother and daughter left the bathroom, their faces flushed with anger. They had changed into nightgowns that covered everything except their chests. Vidomina sat in front of the dressing table, and Harllotte stood behind her, using a warm wind spell to gently caress Vidomina's silky pink hair.
They were mother and daughter, but because Harllotte maintained her youthful appearance and didn't show any signs of aging, the two of them looked more like a pair of beautiful sisters, or a pair of lotus flowers that had just emerged from the water.
"Speaking of which, Nina, do you have a crush on anyone?" Lady Harllotte asked as she combed Vidomina's hair.
Vidomina shook her head. "I don't see anyone suitable. Besides, Godfather is very strict when it comes to these kinds of things. Every boy who tried to approach Mia and Big Sister Dale was taught a harsh lesson."
"You're right. It's hard to find a man who is worthy of your current status," Lady Harllotte said in a low voice. Lady Harllotte muttered in a low voice. She seemed to be reminded of her own misfortune, and she did not object to Baiyi's harsh actions. Instead, she seemed to approve of them. Then, she murmured, "As your mother, I'm very envious of you. You have such a powerful man protecting you from harm."
"Yes. Godfather is the person who treats me the best in the world." Vidomina said solemnly. "If I ever get married, I want to find a man who is as strong, wise, excellent, and gentle as Godfather."
"It's hard to find a man like that, but I support you," Lady Harllotte said. Lady Harllotti said. Her tragic past made her different from other noblewomen. She always wanted to send her daughter away as soon as possible.
"Speaking of which, do you have any plans for the future, Mommy?" Vidomina asked.
"Me? I don't have any plans. After all I've been through, I just want to stay by your side, "Lady Harllotte replied sincerely. "As long as Master Hope doesn't chase me away because of what happened in the past."
"Godfather won't do that," Vidomina said. Vidomina shook her head and asked, "You don't know what the auction tonight means, do you?"
"No, I don't," Lady Harllotte replied honestly. Harllotte answered honestly. She had only attended the auction and had seen many people take out large sums of money to exchange for that thin number tag. She did not understand the deeper meaning behind it, and the human trafficker who had brought her here had not explained it to her.
Vidomina then told her about Da Xue's student sponsorship system. After learning that almost all the nobles of the Empire were present, and that they were willing to pay a huge sum of money in exchange for a spot, she finally realized how valuable her presence was.
'Did they use such a precious number of people to exchange for a filthy sinner like me?' Harllotte asked herself. She used the mindset of a noble and a Fallen God to make sense of the situation. 'Why would Hope do such a thing? Is it because of Vidomina? Or is it because he covets my body? '
She could still remember the two short encounters she had with him ten years ago. Although she could not see his eyes, she could feel the same desire that other men felt. It was not as strong, and it was very reserved.
What if he asked for something from me? What should I do? Reject him? Would it affect Vidomina's future? Should I cater to him? Would I return to the worst-case scenario?
