Chapter 116 I Want to Go Home with You

Soon after Aiwas left the Lloyd's building, Lily quietly reminded Aiwas that someone was following them.

Although the "Spider's Silk Sequel" strengthens perception, Lily is only at the first level after all. If the other party is determined to secretly follow them, it is still difficult for Lily to find the other party at this moment.

In other words, this is actually "tracking on the table", and Vice President Boca is expressing an attitude to Aiwas:

We, Lloyd's, are a big family, but we only sent a tracker that you can find to follow you, which shows that our current attitude is very friendly.

This also implies that they do not completely trust Aiwas, and there will always be spies that they cannot find behind them - tell him that since there are eyes watching you in the dark at any time...you'd better be calm and don't make trouble.

But Aiwas tasted another intelligence from this behavior: Lloyd's is currently under political pressure.

In the past, how could Lloyd's, which indirectly controlled two-thirds of the seats in the Round Table Hall and controlled large and small businesses and major newspapers through lending, be afraid of a young man like Aiwass?

They just told a lot of secrets, but did not let Aiwass get access to any evidence or grasp any details.

If Aiwass dared to talk nonsense when he went back, he would not only not pose a threat to Lloyd's, but would expose his own purpose. This confidence of not fearing traitors within is the proof of the strength of Lloyd's.

But now, their behavior has obviously become more cautious. From their point of view, old Moriarty is dead... Facing the Moriarty family, whose head of the family is dead and has no relatives or in-laws, they are so conservative. This shows that their influence in the Round Table Hall has begun to stagnate.

"Interesting."

Aiwass's mouth corners slightly raised.

Who is offsetting the influence of Lloyd's?

He thought about it in his mind and finally found the answer.

——It's Dean Meg.

The old lady issued a task to investigate the "alchemical bomb smuggling case" through Haina, indicating that the great arbitrator might want to take action against Lloyd's.

Because she couldn't have been unaware that the smuggling case was related to Lloyd's - all the smuggling cases from the port area were related to them, and Lloyd's had long controlled the entire Lloyd's area. And the great arbitrator who controlled the entire arbitration hall must know about this matter... After all, some arbitrators themselves are senior executives of Lloyd's, or have relatives or friendships with senior executives.

So what is there to investigate?

Although this is the first time that the alchemical bomb has been smuggled, there have been many large items smuggled in previous years.

When have they investigated Lloyd's?

"She wants to advance..."

Aiwass understood in his heart. It turned out that Meg wanted to advance from this time on.

What closed disciple, this is actually looking for a successor.

This is like explaining the afterlife.

She may know that her advancement may fail... and there is a high probability that she will fail.

So I wanted to finish all the things that needed to be dealt with and solved before the advancement ceremony.

After all, there were only so many extraordinary people at the peak of the fifth energy level in this era, and everyone knew each other. It was a pure acquaintance game. All nine people knew each other when they entered the door, and more than half of them were old men and women. Maybe decades ago, when they were young, they still had grudges and hatreds with each other, and it was not impossible that they were even related.

When there were few people, it was too easy to be an actor. This kind of game did not depend on strength at all, but on human relationships.

Whether it was being targeted by others in the new moon ceremony or teammates betraying in the full moon ceremony - even if Meg was strong enough, it would be difficult if others did not want her to advance.

The old lady obviously understood. But she was stubborn and wanted to give it a try.

Of course, there was another possibility.

"... Maybe she felt that her life was coming to an end."

Not to mention authority, even the extraordinary people who could continuously heal themselves, as long as they were short-lived, would not live too long. The only path that can prolong life or even immortality is the twilight path, and Meg is already over a hundred years old this year.

Although she looks pretty strong... but who knows. Sometimes, only the old people themselves know how their bodies are.

Aiwass's heart moved, and he didn't let Lily shake off those tails. But he didn't go directly to the bishop's house to find Sherlock, but went home to report his safety, hugged Yulia who was worried about him, and then went straight back to school.

He asked Lily to push him to the bottom of the girls' dormitory, stopped a senior from the third department, showed a polite smile, and asked her to bring Haina down.

The senior heard the words, opened her eyes wide, reached out and covered her mouth subconsciously, and was stunned for a moment.

But she was only stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed without hesitation.

Aiwass only waited there for less than 20 minutes, but Haina, who was dressed neatly and didn't even have time to comb her hair, was pushed down by the classmates who were watching the excitement with a confused look on her face.

"…What's up, Aiwass?"

Haina touched her hair in embarrassment.

Girls' hair can easily become rough if not carefully taken care of; but Haina's hair is thick, and it's troublesome to wash it, and it's a bit cold in winter. Anyway, these two days are weekends, so she simply didn't wash her hair and stayed in her dormitory reading novels.

Recently, a novel called "Dracula" is very popular in Avalon. After reading it, she thought it was really good, so she went to the library to look for books written by Mr. Bram Stoker before, planning to spend a peaceful and ordinary weekend.

As a result, she was suddenly dragged down by her roommate mysteriously, saying that someone was looking for her.

When I came down and saw it, it turned out to be Aiwass!

"Senior, you look better without makeup today.

Aiwass complimented casually.

He glanced at her classmates who were lying by the window watching the excitement, and just smiled and shook his head: "Come with me, senior sister."

"...Hey, hey? Where are you going? If you want to meet someone, I'll go back and wash my hair first..."

Haina pressed her fluffy hair with some reluctance and embarrassment, trying hard to smooth it down. But Aiwass didn't respond to her immediately, so she just trotted behind Lily.

But she doesn't really care about the destination.

Instead, he was a little interested in what Aiwass said before: "Mr. Aiwass, is what you just said true?"

"What about makeup?"

Aiwass turned back and chuckled: "That's true... In my opinion, senior sister looks better without makeup."

"...Sure enough, it should be because my makeup skills are too poor."

Haina was a little frustrated: "I just started studying this year... I was too busy when I first came to the university, but now that I have been admitted to the Supervision Bureau in advance, I have time to study these things.

"But this subject is too complicated. It's like the chemistry knowledge taught in the second department, and some aesthetic knowledge from the sixth department - I don't know how to put on makeup at all. Or I can't see it clearly after I put it on. Or I just feel that it would be better not to paint if I painted, it’s too ugly…”

She followed Aiwass for a while before she realized that she was heading towards Aiwass's dormitory.

So Haina immediately realized that this should be related to Sherlock's matter.

But she had just become serious, and Aiwass didn't even look back at her, but said without looking back: "Don't be too nervous, senior. It would be better to be more natural."

"Yes, Mr. Aiwass."

Subconsciously, Haina obeyed Aiwass's instructions. Just like when they were fighting in the Pelican Bar.

After taking Haina through the door, Aiwass took her to the living room. Let Lily prepare tea and afternoon tea.

And Aiwass crossed his hands and asked, "Didn't you come this morning?"

"Sherlock's funeral?"

Haina nodded: "Yes, I didn't go."

Although the Supervisory Bureau also asked her to attend Sherlock's funeral today, she still pretended to be very sad and refused - mainly because Haina knew that Sherlock was actually not dead, and she was not optimistic about her dramatic talent. .

"I was worried that I might accidentally reveal a flaw and affect your and Mr. Sherlock's plans. So I decided to do nothing."

Haina replied.

As an outstanding student of the Department of Individual Tactics, she has studied combat and swordsmanship. Therefore, we deeply understand the principle of "you would rather do nothing than make a mistake".

——How many students in the third department have not been cut by a classmate's sword by mistake, bitten by a gryphon that was out of control by a classmate, or hit by a classmate's out-of-control horse?

Perhaps only the seniors of the Fourth Division who were watching the excitement on the side of the playground and preparing to practice lighting techniques and pick up the younger students could figure it out.

Aiwass praised: "Very good, otherwise you might be in danger."

"...what's wrong?"

Haina realized that Aiwass was about to talk about business, she frowned slightly, raised her back, and her tone became reliable: "Do you need my help, Mr. Aiwass?"

"Really needed."

Aiwass nodded: "I need you to help me find Sherlock to send a message - I don't know if the phone will be tapped, so it is safest to send the message through a reliable person."

"Being bugged?"

Haina was stunned for a moment: "Is there an enemy that the Moriarty family can't defeat?"

This was unimaginable to her - the Moriarty family was already an almost "eternal" behemoth to her. Moriarty's income in one year is money that she will never earn in her lifetime.

Not to mention, Edward is also the Inspector General of the Glass Island Inspectorate!

How terrifying is it to be an enemy that cannot be fought against?

"The problem is actually not big, I can solve it myself."

Aiwass said solemnly: "You mainly tell him that I am now forced to join Lloyd's, and I may have to fake my death again... Don't expose the secret."

"——You're coming too?!"

Haina blurted out without even bothering to be polite.

She realized the other person's problem almost immediately: "What about Princess Isabel?"

"Let's see what Sherlock says."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes and fell into thinking: "I'm also afraid that Isabel won't be able to bear it. So I tend to explain it to her in advance in person, but you also know... the more people know about this kind of thing, the more holes it will have. But. Strictly speaking, I'm not really going to die, but I'm being kidnapped and missing. Maybe I can inform her in advance."

"What's the specific time?" Haina asked.

"Next week."

Aiwass replied without hesitation.

No matter what, he had to extract the demon from Yulia's body before he could do this. Otherwise she will 100% lose control.

"At the beginning of next month?"

Haina's attention was a little strange: "Isn't there a final exam?"

"My suspended animation is different from Sherlock's... I will only be missing for two or three days at most. It won't delay the exam."

Aiwass wasn't nervous about it.

What's more, what if I don't do well in the exam? He just came here to read the banned books in the library, and it was not like Haina who needed a chief title to change his destiny.

What's more, this year's knowledge is indeed not difficult. Aiwass felt that his scores in the naked exam would not be bad.

"How about I help you with some tutoring?"

Haina was eager to try.

She never knew how she could help Aiwass.

She had previously entrusted Headmaster Meg's troubles to Aiwass and Sherlock, but when those two people had a quick discussion, she felt that she couldn't get in at all - their logic jumped too fast, and in the middle Even a lot of processes are omitted. She felt like her brain was going to burn as she listened to it.

Obviously I have always been smart and my grades are very good. But why do you still look so naive in front of them?

Haina sometimes doubts herself like this.

But now, she feels that she finally has a place where she can give back - handing over all her important tasks to others while she watches from the sidelines... Although this kind of thing sounds very authoritative, but she is a bit Can't do it. At least I'm still a little embarrassed to do it now.

"Although I may be incapable of handling complex events, or lack talent in layout, planning, etc., I'm still very good at it when it comes to final exams!"

Haina was eager to give it a try: "I'm good at taking exams!"

"That's fine," Aiwass agreed readily, "I'll bother you then, senior.

"——Oh, by the way. After the final exam is over, can I go back to your hometown with you?"

"……Eh?"

Hearing this, Haina immediately opened her eyes wide and froze on the spot, her whole body motionless.

Avas suddenly chuckled evilly, and Haina realized that she had misunderstood.

The fox-like young man waved his hands gently, squinted his eyes and smiled: "I'm just kidding, actually I have to go to Yingjia Village for something. Sherlock will also come then. As the host, you have to bring us a Road."

"——Ah, that's no problem!"

Haina responded cheerfully: "You can come at any time, and I will entertain you well! Although Eagle Cape is a small village, there are still a lot of delicious and fun things!"

"Speaking of which," Aiwass asked insinuatingly, "I only recently found out that before I was adopted by my father... my biological grandfather was from Eagle Point Village."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Haina's eyes lit up: "Really!"

"Yes, his name was Jacob Alexander, and he died of typhoid fourteen years ago. Do you know him?"

Aiwass asked seriously.

Haina thought for a while and then suddenly opened her eyes: "You mean...Grandpa Jacob? Is it Grandpa Jacob who writes novels and poems?

“It was Grandpa Jacob who taught me how to read when I was very young!”

I went to bed at 8:30 yesterday and got up at 3:30 today. It feels like a human’s routine——
