Chapter 320
"I often say that if you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf." Orson smiled. "Do you know why I acted out of character and acted so excited that day? And do you know why I didn't continue to pursue you even though I already suspected you?"
"Stefan, Erwin, Ma Yin, Enrique..." So saying, Orson read out a long list of names and wrote their names on the paper.
Donnie's eyes widened slightly and he looked at Orson with disbelief in his eyes.
"The names of these people, classmate Downey, should be familiar to you, right?"
"What do you want to say..." Downey looked unkind.
"Domestic servants are not your exclusive domain, classmate Downey." Orson remained calm, looking at Downey with a trace of mockery in his eyes. "Do you think what you do is very hidden?"
"Or do you think that as the son of a duke, I won't have any means and will be at your mercy?"
After listening to Orson's words, Donnie had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I'm sorry. I deliberately performed in front of this group of people that day and let your third eyes see my ugly appearance."
"So, you who thought I lost my mind, are you thinking that you have seized the perfect opportunity to overthrow me?"
As Orson continued to speak, Downey's mentality was no longer stable and began to waver.
"Orson, you! Did you design all of this?!"
Orson shrugged noncommittally.
"There is nothing you can do. You have been chasing me fiercely. My lack of accountability is seen as a kind of weakness by you, so I must defend myself."
"Let me tell you, classmate Downey." Orson stood up and looked down at Downey. "If you want to bring me down, there are many ways. Why do you have to use the most dangerous one?"
"Li Te, he is not something you can touch." Orson's words,
It is both a warning and a piece of advice. "I don't know what your outcome will be this time, but if there is a next time, your outcome will definitely not be better."
"By the way...there will be a hearing tonight in which you will be the protagonist." Orson stopped at the door before leaving. "Guess where Tyrell is now?"
"!!! Orson!" Just as Donnie was about to say something, Orson closed the door.
Downey just wanted to rush out, but the disciplinary committee members guarding the door made him give up this idea.
Forcing his way out will only bring more trouble to his family, and may even make his father furious.
It's better to wait. Anyway, Tyrell's family has been ruled by the Florence family for generations. As long as he still wants to go home, he will definitely not be able to betray himself.
…
some time ago.
In the student union, Orson, Olivia and Manuel were sitting in the small office.
At this moment, there are only these three people in the office.
"Have everyone been counted?" Orson looked at Manuel and asked.
"Well, the statistics are calculated." Manuel nodded. "I really didn't expect that the recruitment process could be so messed up."
"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, the student union is held only once a year, so it's impossible to have too high demands on personnel." Orson smiled.
"However, I really didn't expect that Orson you would be willing to lure the snake out of the hole at the cost of damaging your personal image." Olivia looked at Orson and smiled.
"What's the saying? Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." Orson said this and raised his eyebrows. "In other words, you can't bear to let the child trap the wolf?"
"In short, if not, he will only cause more and more trouble to us in the future."
The atmosphere in the office was quite harmonious, and no one could have imagined that these three people had just quarreled two days ago.
"So, when are we going to do it?" Manuel asked. "I have prepared all the materials here. Those people will definitely not be able to escape."
"Don't worry, I'm still waiting for the most important person."
As Orson finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
"The people are here." He said this and continued: "Please come in."
Then, the office door opened and Virgil walked in from the door.
Seeing Virgil who always treated others with a kind smile, Orson also said hello to him.
"Long time no see, Virgil."
"Master Orson, I have brought the person you want to the designated place for you." Virgil smiled, bowed and then replied.
"Okay." Orson nodded with satisfaction. "I'll go there in person later. Now I'll arrange other things first."
"Okay, then I will wait for Master Orson outside." Virgil nodded respectfully and exited the office.
"Is this your person?" Olivia looked at Orson and asked.
"Yeah." Orson nodded.
"I really didn't expect that the famous Smiling Yama in the second grade, the white glove that every noble wants to offer an olive branch to win over, actually already has an owner." Olivia said this, looking at Orson with something in her eyes. The resentment seemed to be complaining about why Orson kept it secret from him.
"I thought, Orson, you'd never have any use for those things."
"No, I'm not nobler than you, and I'm not as powerful as you. I can definitely use anything you can use."
In the original book, Virgil, as one of Orson's trusted confidants, was extremely capable and was used by Orson to deal with Litt. However, because of Litt's protagonist halo, Virgil was killed by Litt in the end.
However, as Orson's loyal confidant, Virgil did not reveal Orson's identity even at the moment of his death.
When Orson came to the Imperial Academy, he also thought of Virgil.
As the "white glove" carefully cultivated by Orson in the original work, Virgil's task was to deal with some things that Orson's identity was inconvenient to deal with, including but not limited to surveillance, investigation, extortion, and house arrest.
Of course, because Orson had a smooth journey, Virgil had not yet had the opportunity to show his loyalty.
At the same time, in order to hide Virgil's identity, Orson deliberately asked Virgil to take the entrance test and deliberately performed poorly in the subsequent qualifying rounds, becoming a student who was only ranked more than 700 and looked ordinary.
In addition, Orson forged an identity of a wealthy businessman's son for Virgil, and he never contacted him on weekdays, resulting in no one in the academy connecting the two people together.
Last year, Orson didn't assign any tasks to Virgil. Unexpectedly, Virgil earned the title of "Smiling Yama" in the second grade.
The reason was that Virgil always kept smiling when dealing with people. Until one time, someone provoked him and asked him to fight. As a result, he still smiled and broke the man's teeth on the fighting stage.
In addition, his appearance was not bad. After dressing up, he was more elegant than some noble boys. From then on, this title has always been with him.
"Smiling" describes that he always likes to laugh, and he is handsome and elegant.
"Yan Luo" describes that he is fierce in fighting and very cruel to his opponents.
Because of this incident, he also attracted many little fans, and he was able to rank among the top ten in the college's handsome men selection.
Of course, because he himself is very low-key, he has never caused any other troubles after that incident. His own discussion and popularity gradually faded among classmates, and then he was slowly forgotten and no longer mentioned.
Although this went against Orson's original intention of asking him to hide himself, on the other hand, he became famous, and it was more difficult for others to connect him with Orson's men.
"Okay, let's talk business." Orson said, looking at Olivia and Manuel. "After you go back, reorganize the department you are responsible for and hold a meeting. At that time, no one should leave the student union building."
"Then, Manuel, after the meeting, take the people you can trust from the discipline department to act. Remember, you must invite the 'big snake' to the student union 'politely'."
"Then, everything will go according to plan."
"Got it." The two nodded.
"Okay, I have to take care of my own business too." Orson stood up.
"After all, that guy bullied my Lit to tears. How can he not pay a price?" As he said this, a chill emanated from his body, and then he walked out of the office.
Looking at Virgil standing at the door, leaning against the wall, he nodded.
"Let's go."
...
Tyrell had been sitting in the house for half a day. During this half day, except for the lunch delivery at noon, no one came to the house again.
Until ten minutes ago, he was informed that the owner of this house would be here soon and asked him to wait in the living room.
Then, he waited in the living room.
He kept thinking about who the person hiding behind Virgil was.
And how could he help himself.
Then, Tyrell heard the sound of the door lock. He looked up and saw Virgil walking in.
Then, looking at the person following Virgil, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
Orson walked into the room, looked at the smiling Tyrell, and smiled back.
"Mr. Virgil, are you right?" Tyrell said this with a hint of mockery. "I just plotted against your master's brother, and I had a feud with him before. Now you tell me that he is coming to help me?"
"Hahaha, you can't joke like this, right?!"
Virgil just smiled and said nothing.
"Who said I can't help you?" Orson said. "Tyrell, this should be the first time we meet outside the school."
As he said this, Orson stretched out his hand to Tyrell.
"This should also be the first time we meet, in the true sense, as two separate people."
Tyrell was silent for a while, and then stretched out his hand and shook it with Orson.
After the two exchanged a few words of greeting, they sat down again.
"I can help you clear your name, and I can also help you get rid of the control of those people." Orson said this, and he stated his purpose directly.
In fact, as early as when Tyrell provoked Lit for the first time and was punched by Orson, Orson had guessed that Tyrell was instructed by someone.
In the subsequent student union election process, Tyrell jumped out to interfere with the election, which made Orson believe in this idea in his heart.
After all, no matter what, he is just the son of an earl. If he dares to challenge the son of a duke, he must have a backer who is no less powerful than Litt.
In addition, Tyrell's identity makes it easy to connect him with Donnie, who also comes from the Duke of Naples.
Therefore, Orson called Olivia and Manuel together the day after the student union election and discussed the matter privately.
Anyway, as a fellow
The members of a student union were both prosperous and devastated. The three of them quickly devised a way to lure the snake out of its hole.
And all of this still needs to wait for Downey to take the bait and reveal enough flaws.
At the same time, Orson also asked his long-dormant assistant Virgil to take action and began to secretly investigate Downey's power and actions.
The reason why Orson didn't cause trouble to Downey immediately after the student union election was to paralyze Downey and make him think that he didn't dare to do anything to him, so that his behavior would become bolder.
Later, at a banquet hosted by President Louis outside the school, Orson accidentally met Downey, so he used words to anger Downey, making him even more angry with himself.
At this time, Orson was already waiting for Donnie to take action.
That day, after Orson learned about Li Te's accident, he showed anxiety, partly because he was worried about Li Te, but mostly because he had to act in a play with Manuel.
He wanted to pretend that there was dissension within the student union and make Donnie think that Manuel could be manipulated.
Although the leadership group within the student union is generally trustworthy, there will definitely be Downey's eyes and ears among the new members recruited.
Orson pretended to be furious and wanted to see Leeteuk despite breaking the rules.
Then there was a quarrel with Manuel in the discipline department.
Orson knew that the Discipline Department at that time definitely had an informant planted by Downey, because shortly after he lost his temper, the students who were pressuring him seemed to know what was going on in advance and kept asking embarrassing questions for Orson.
Orson also refused to answer and went to the council, pretending to seek help from Dean Luca.
In fact, Orson didn't expect Luca to help him at all. What he did was just telling Donnie, "I'm in a hurry. I won't wait until now."
Then Downey invested a lot of money to buy a sleuth army, create a larger public opinion, and began to prepare to remove Orson from the position of student council president.
At the same time, he bribed members of the student union so that they could also contribute to the flames.
At the end, Downey found Manuel and planned to take advantage of the "hate" between the two to interfere with it and make Manuel disadvantage Orson.
Manuel, who had been vaccinated a long time ago, certainly could not be fooled by Downey's clumsy plan, so he flatly refused and drew a clear line with Downey.
Then came the big reversal at the hearing.
Orson had already asked Virgil to find out Donnie's account books and transaction records, including his contact with Anya. It was Orson who mentioned the victim as an important breakthrough in an insinuating way, so he asked Olivia to take the initiative to investigate. Even if Olivia didn't let him go that night, If Anya betrays her, Orson will also make it public about Downey's bribery of student union members and instigating Tyrell to assassinate Little.
He has always been invincible.
However, instead of directly defeating the opponent, Orson prefers to make those who are hostile to him suddenly make a sharp turn when he is trying to win, and reverse the events.
