Chapter 4120 [Babilon] Your sky has fallen!
"...Brother, let me tell you! That Leonardo, he actually tried to get back at you! I'm so angry..."
In a corner of the courtyard, a silver-haired boy stood on the fountain railing, vividly recounting his "experiences" in a tea-and-toast manner.
Boss Luo listened and watched expressionlessly.
This should be his first real encounter with [Wild].
Without any guidance from fate, the tea-loving young man before me seems to exist outside the long river of destiny, possessing a "part" of his own.
As he spoke, the boy's eyes shone with joy. Without mentioning what he had done, he was as innocent as a raw gemstone at that moment.
"...Brother, you won't blame me, will you?"
【荒】This is the ending, a cautious tone, but one that suggests a willingness to try again next time.
Boss Luo suddenly felt a long-lost goosebumps, thinking that this thing seemed to be...flirting with him?
Boss Luo looked at the silver-haired boy again, revealing a clear yet foolish gaze. He clasped his hands together, looking pitiful, like a husky trying to please someone... He was sure he was just being affectionate.
Over the years, apart from a few people like Ren Ziling, Luo Qiu felt that he had no relatives in the world.
But this silver-haired boy is his... his relative in that eternal empire.
It was a wonderful feeling, a very peaceful feeling, without too many surprises. It was like a small pebble being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that were quickly smoothed out by the wind.
But the pebble eventually ended up in the lake.
"What brings you to the [Abrier] Empire?" Boss Luo asked casually.
[Huang] sat down cross-legged. "Actually, my elder sister didn't want me to come see you, but I certainly wouldn't listen to Anqi, so I secretly came. Also, I want to investigate some things."
Boss Luo said calmly, "Investigate what?"
"It's a secret." [Wild] narrowed his eyes. "But if my brother agrees to play with me for a day, I'll tell you~"
"But I can know at any time."
“Yes.” [Wild] didn’t care at all. “But does Your Majesty really like this? If you did, you would have known the first day I appeared in [Marindo], wouldn’t you? [Root] values equivalent exchange. You play with me for a day, and I’ll tell you a secret. This deal is very reasonable.”
Boss Luo casually replied, "Then I won't say."
"Mmm!" [Wild] chuckled, "Brother, you're so kind! I'll go to the [Magic Side] and catch you a few goddesses to make toys! I'll make up for the birthday presents you owe me~"
"...What is your status now?" Boss Luo sighed, as if in exasperation.
"【Abriel】The illegitimate son of the royal family~"
Boss Luo glanced at [Huang] with surprise.
【荒】, resting her hands behind her head, said, “There really was such an illegitimate child, but he’s gone now. I’m just using his existence for a while… After all, I can become 【anyone】.”
Boss Luo remained silent.
[Huang] glanced at her cautiously, then said, "Relax, relax, I won't interfere with what Miss Nan is doing. After all, I quite like Miss Nan; she's very much to my liking!"
"That's fine then," Boss Luo said calmly, his figure gradually fading away. "Since your current identity is that of an illegitimate son of the [Abriel] royal family, then you should live the life of an illegitimate son properly."
[Huang] subconsciously widened his eyes, "Brother, I still have so much to say to you, don't go! Why don't you try asking me something else? I'll just tell you some of the less important things..."
My brother is gone.
The silver-haired boy opened his mouth, and slowly brought his legs together, turning them into a bent-knee embrace.
He leaned against the railing of the pool, a small purple squirrel perched on his head, lost in thought.
After a long, long time, the silver-haired boy suddenly smiled gently.
"Brother, you should be feeling happy now, right?"
He stretched vigorously, then snapped his fingers, ready to leave the courtyard in style—but the silver-haired boy remained where he was, still by the fountain.
The boy blinked his clear yet foolish eyes, snapped his fingers again, and then snapped them a third time.
"Huh? Where did my power go?"
He remembered the last words Boss Luo said before he left... "Be a good 'illegitimate child'."
hiss……
Help!
—My brother has locked my strength!
[Wild] smacked his lips, feeling that he could still break free from these shackles, but the price seemed a little too high...
—Well, at least it's not locked!
My brother still loves me...
"...Young Master, where did you run off to again? You scared me to death!"
Near Auditorium No. 6, Weiwei, still shaken, patted her heavy chest.
In order to find the suddenly missing Young Master Huang, she ran out of the auditorium early in the morning, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
Otherwise, they would probably be like those students who are still waiting to be carried away and have been affected by the incident.
"Weiwei, I have something to tell you." Young Master [Huang] looked listless at this moment.
"Are you going to tell another hilarious lame joke?" Vivi asked warily.
"I'm just like you now, a useless piece of trash."
"?"
It was indeed a lame joke.
……
……
A moment ago.
Auditorium No. 6.
The Disc of Cronus is still there.
The moment Francis threw the crystal and sent Leonardo away, this drama was definitely not going to end well!
Seeing Francis pull out three divine artifacts in succession, including the super artifact [Disc of Kronos]... the president of [Void Bank] is truly wealthy!
This is probably not all of Francis's story.
But the CEO's desperate efforts are genuine.
The fourth princess stood up again, trembling, looking determined to fight to the bitter end.
Venus remained remarkably calm, knowing he could simply release the gladiators from the arena—the Crimson Grand Duke had assured him before sending him that he could still utilize his authority within the arena.
As the ruler of the Void Arena, it's perfectly reasonable for him to order several seventy-year-old champions to serve him.
“Lord Leonardo has left, so I have nothing to worry about.” Francis, now wreathed in divine artifacts, spoke with unusual coldness, “Today, I…”
As everyone's hearts pounded, Francis suddenly fell silent.
Without any warning, the CEO, who had already drawn his divine weapon and was ready to fight to the death, suddenly changed his expression. He quickly looked around and then collapsed to the ground, as if he had completely lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the tense situation suddenly fell into an extremely eerie silence.
Almost simultaneously, the Fourth Princess's shoulders suddenly trembled. Upon seeing Francis fall, the Fourth Princess did not hesitate at all, immediately throwing herself to the ground and closing her eyes tightly.
"Ah... Princess Phyllis?"
The next moment, Karl rushed to Francis's side, helped him up and checked him over—after a careful look, Karl confirmed that Francis was conscious.
Karl took a deep breath, his mind racing at the speed of light.
He quickly glanced at Princess Anle, whose expression was uncertain, and pondered, "Your Highness Anle, as you can see, my boss was ambushed by Leonardo, but this was not his intention... Now my boss is unconscious, which is probably a trap left by Leonardo. I must treat him immediately."
Princess Phyllis was left alone; her attendant Allen was still frozen in the life support pod, and whether he could be rescued was unknown.
“This matter truly has nothing to do with Lord Francis.” Li Guo nodded. “Rest assured, I will pursue this matter to the end and give Lord Francis an explanation!”
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness Anle." Karl thanked him sincerely... who knows how panicked he was at that moment?
"Valya!" Li Guo shouted loudly at this moment.
Valya quickly approached, her body bearing injuries sustained when the Fourth Princess unleashed her full power, and her face was somewhat pale.
"Send men to escort Lord Francis and the Fourth Princess away," Li Guo quickly ordered. "Summon the Dean and Vice Dean of the Royal Academy to see me! Also, issue me the Empire's highest arrest warrant for Leonardo!"
"As ordered!"
Li Guo took a deep breath.
Everyone could feel how intense Princess Anle's anger was at this moment—it wasn't just a loss of face, she almost got herself sent to hell by Leonardo.
“Mercyas!” Li Guo looked up, his gaze sharp.
Among the crowd, Mercedes trembled slightly upon hearing this. She was familiar with Li Guo's eyes, which seemed to want to kill, but this was the first time she had seen them so openly directed at her.
She took a deep breath, knowing full well that once Leonardo was exposed, she would be unable to extricate herself from the situation—even if she hadn't actually known what Leonardo had done before!
But for Leonardo, being a member of the family, this is an unavoidable fact.
“Your Highness…” Mercedes stepped forward without hesitation, “I…”
Li Guo said in a deep voice, "Assist in handling matters here."
Mercedes nodded slightly, understanding what Li Guo meant... There was no immediate questioning because there would only be more severe investigations to come.
"I apologize for the embarrassment caused to our distinguished guests." As a princess of the empire, Li Guo immediately humbled herself and apologized to the foreign delegation. "I will personally visit each of you afterwards to apologize."
"Your Highness, you are too serious. You are also a victim in today's events..."
"That's right, even Lord Francis and the Fourth Princess were ambushed. It was all the work of that madman named Leonardo!"
"We will also do our utmost to assist! Upon returning, I will immediately notify all the divine kingdoms under the Father God's name! Although we don't know where Leonardo has fled to, if he dares to show himself, we will capture him immediately!"
Who knows if that Leonardo guy might run off to the [magic side]?
Anyway, say the nice things first and then see what happens.
Soon, the president of the Royal Academy and several vice presidents arrived before Li Guo with hearts pounding—at this time, they had already moved to the academy's main administrative building.
The location is the dean's office.
……
After being berated by His Highness Anle for nearly half an hour, the deans finally emerged from the office with grim expressions.
But there was no time for sighs and lamentations; they still needed to deal with the accident scene... and at the same time, they needed to issue a gag order to the students who had appeared in the auditorium today.
With the presence of the Pale Goddess, this matter cannot spread widely... at least it cannot leave Marindo, which is actually the easiest thing to do.
Where is Levy?
"His Highness didn't call him!"
"Tsk...that old bastard got off easy!"
Earlier, when they were receiving foreign delegations, they had privately laughed at Levi, saying he had encountered a bad job... But now, because he received that Divine Child Levi, Levi successfully absolved himself of all responsibility, and His Highness Anle didn't even reprimand him.
"What incredible luck!"
……
Inside the dean's office.
Li Guo's face remained frighteningly cold.
Valia lowered her head in shame. "Your Highness, it was my fault. I failed to notice that Leonardo had already secretly left the mentor's dormitory."
When Leonardo showed up, how could she not know that there was no one in the professor's dormitory?
She had already warned him out of consideration for a small favor she had done for him in the past, but she never expected Leonardo to give her such a huge shock!
"All I want to know now is how he managed to control both Francis and Phyllis at the same time," Li Guo said coldly, staring at Valia. "I don't care what methods you use, find out the answer as soon as possible!"
“I’ll go right away.” Valya nodded.
"Where is Li Wei?" Li Guo's expression softened slightly at this point.
Valya quickly replied, "Lord Levi has arranged for him to meet you in the lounge on the twentieth floor. I'll go and have him come to see you."
Li Guo didn't speak, but glared at Valya before standing up and saying directly, "Lead the way!"
Valya is incredibly loyal, a sharp blade, but unfortunately, her intelligence is still inferior to Al-Ghabi's.
If Al-Ghabi were just as loyal...
"Your Highness!"
A female warrior from the [Splendid] faction rushed over, exclaiming, "I've found Leonardo!"
Li Guo's expression immediately turned terrifyingly murderous. "Found it?"
"Yes!" the female warrior replied quickly. "He's in courtyard number thirty-seven of the academy. He was discovered by a gardener in charge of the area! Our people rushed over and successfully subdued Leonardo, but his mental state isn't very good."
"Take him back," Li Guo said calmly. "Don't let anyone know."
“We also found this.” The female warrior nodded, then took out a box containing a broken stone club.
Li Guoxuan immediately ordered, "Take it for testing."
……
Soon, Li Guo arrived at the lounge on the 20th floor.
Instructor Xiao Ke and Vice Dean Levi were also here at this time—Instructor Xiao Ke had been voluntarily staying here ever since Lord Li Wei moved here.
He really wants to improve!
To Xiao Ke's surprise, Vice Dean Levi was also fawning over him... It was too much! A vice dean, of all people, was actually trying to steal from a mere senior tutor like himself!
Upon seeing Li Guo arrive, Vice Dean Levi quickly stepped forward, "Your Highness, Lord Li Wei is resting inside. I'll open the door for you."
"You may step down." Li Guo glanced at the two of them indifferently. "Your performance today was quite good."
Upon hearing this, Instructor Xiao Ke knew he had the upper hand and immediately bowed and withdrew.
Only after Li entered the room did Vice Dean Levi secretly breathe a sigh of relief!
Damn it, he was almost scared to death!
The moment the control over Francis was released was also the moment his control was released, and it seamlessly connected with all the memories of the time he was under control.
This almost scared Levi to death.
Fortunately, after Leonardo regained control of himself, he only instructed himself to continuously report on the whereabouts of [Levi Titus], and deliberately led Lord Levi to Hall Six.
Originally, Leonardo had given him a potion to secretly give to Lord Levi... but he hadn't found the opportunity yet.
Before Li Guo arrived, Levi had been reviewing his behavior throughout the day. He was terrified, but thankfully he hadn't revealed anything. He had been busy and humble all the way, which must have pleased Lord Li Wei.
[Babilon] Your family has produced a truly outstanding nephew!
Although I, Levi, am just a minor vice dean, I am not without the means to retaliate against you—from now on, any member of your family will not have an easy time at the Royal Academy!
The pen that controls academic credits in my hand has not been without its disadvantages!
……
Upon entering, Li Guo immediately saw Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi glared at her angrily and then turned her head away. Li Guo didn't care at all and just looked at Venus, "Mr. Venus, where is Li Wei?"
Her words carried a hint of respect for the strong.
This mysterious Venus is truly powerful. She easily pinned down Phyllis and could even counterattack while watching the power of the super artifact. She also seems to have a deep connection with the royal family of Atlantis.
If it were a life-or-death battle, she knew she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage over the Fourth Princess... Where did Li Wei find such a security advisor?
“Young Master Li Wei is resting in the inner room,” Venus said calmly. “The young master is not feeling well, please forgive him, Your Highness.”
"He's not in good spirits?" Li Guo asked instinctively. "Is he injured? Or is it because of Leonardo's..."
“Your Highness, rest assured, the young master is fine.” Venus shook his head. “This is the young master’s instruction. He said he wanted to rest quietly for a while, and he will come out naturally after he has rested.”
Li Guo nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll wait for him here."
Venus didn't say anything, but simply gestured for Li Guo to sit down and then went to pour him a cup of tea—something that should have been Bai Zhi's job.
However, Xiao Baizhi was still holding a grudge against Li Guo for saying "shameful" and wanted to spit into the teacup.
"Mr. Venus, it seems you have some connection with the Fourth Princess?" Li Guo asked tentatively.
Venus said calmly, "I am now merely Young Master Li Wei's attendant."
Li Guo nodded calmly, then subconsciously glanced at the closed door to the inner room, lost in thought... Li Wei.
With someone as powerful as Venus protecting Li Wei, does that mean he doesn't need to do anything himself...?
……
……
Onboard a Void Bank spaceship.
Carl rubbed his temples, looked at Francis lying on the bed, and said helplessly, "Boss, there's no one left."
Then Francis on the bed opened his eyes instantly.
Karl reached out and pressed his hand against Francis's forehead.
Francis, slightly annoyed, asked, "What are you doing?"
“Let’s confirm if you’re still my boss,” Karl said expressionlessly. “That clever, wise Francis.”
"...You'd better be truly wise!"
Francis slapped Carl's arm away.
"Pass on my orders: sever all cooperation with the Papillon family and halt all loans!"
At this moment, the president of the science department was furious.
"I want him bankrupt! Penniless!"
He, Francis, the regional president of Void Bank, was actually ordered to kneel down like a dog... and he actually knelt down. If he hadn't been so humiliated, he would have lost his temper on the spot.
……
Almost at the same time, on the Fourth Princess's spaceship.
"I need to ask Emperor Prussia whether he truly intends for our two countries to go to war! Send me a declaration of war!!!"
……
……
[Babilon] Minister, the Prime Minister's Office of the Empire.
When Mercedes, pale-faced, rushed into the study, lifting her skirt, Lord Babylon, who was arranging work in the study, felt as if the sky had fallen.
"What did you say?!"
Before Lord Babylon could process the news brought back by Messiah, the communicator in the study started ringing incessantly.
"Master! Something terrible has happened! The Void Bank has cut off all our cooperation and loans, and ordered us to repay all debts within three days..."
"We have just received news that Princess Phyllis of Atlantis has issued a declaration of war against our country in her personal capacity and is mobilizing all the troops within her territory... Her targets are the Punk Galaxy, the Polypeptide Galaxy, the Sagittarius Nebula... and so on!"
These are all assets accumulated by the [Babylon] family over the years, thanks to the influence of the previous empress!
At this moment, Lord Papillon completely lost his composure. His vision went black; he wasn't dizzy, but his super brain simply couldn't tell him what to do.
Mercedes was also somewhat bewildered at this moment.
She always felt like she had forgotten something...
