After knowing that Locke was an auditor, the girls who had a good impression of Locke lost their interest for a moment, disdain was shown in the menâs eyes.
Especially when they saw that Locke held Ireneâs hand tightly, the boys were even more jealous and their hostility towards Locke was growing.
âIt seems that you are getting along well with each other.â After looking Locke and Irene up and down for a while, Wilder smiled.
After Wilder finished his words, Locke clearly felt that the hostility in the boysâ eyes became more obvious.
Humph!
Facing the unfriendly gazes of the boys, Locke was not afraid at all. He held Ireneâs hand and looked defiantly at the position of the boys.
This brat!
Looking at Lockeâs provocative eyes, the boys gritted their teeth in anger, eager to rush up and beat Locke up right away.
Seeing his daughter and Locke holding hands, Count Peter was a little stunned and didnât react for a moment. On the contrary, Mrs. Peter had a smile on her face. As a mother, she had noticed that after one night, something seemed to have happened between Locke and her daughter.
Seeing the angry faces of the boys, Wilder couldnât help laughing in his heart. What he needed was this effect. These little fellows usually had no respect for everyone because of their extraordinary talents. It was time to bang their heads.
With premeditation in his heart, Wilder calmly said, âAll right, these are the geniuses in the Imperial Mage Academy, Iâll skip the introduction. I believe that you will get along well with each other.â
âNow, letâs go.â
âLocke, please take care of Irene.â
Seeing that everyone was ready to leave, Mrs. Peter spoke to Locke with a smile.
Locke gently held Ireneâs hand and said, âDonât worry. I will protect Irene well and wonât let her get hurt.â
Seeing this, the Peter couple nodded with satisfaction.
Ah, protected her?
You were just a pathetic auditor. When you arrived at the Imperial Mage Academy, you would be unable to protect yourself, so how to protect others? Hearing Lockeâs words, the young men behind Wilder sneered in their hearts.
After saying goodbye, everyone didnât stay any longer. They entered the teleportation site and began their journey to the imperial capital city of the Catacoton Kingdom.
In the afternoon, they stopped in a city.
On the balcony of the hotel, Locke was reading a book titled Analysis of the Forces Competition of the Catacoton Kingdom.
According to the book, there were 6 super forces in the Catacoton Kingdom.
The royal family, the Gesar Chamber of Commerce, the Gustav family, the Vadik Castle, the Dominic Temple, and the Cejas Tower.
Among them, the royal family, as the actual ruler of the Catacoton Kingdom, was the most powerful, and the strength of the other five forces was almost the same.
In addition to the six major forces, there were also three academies famous throughout the kingdom. The Imperial Mage Academy, Randtony Mage Academy, Kegnes Fighting Skills Academy. These three academies were also very powerful, enough to be on an equal footing with the super forces mentioned above.
The leaders of these forces were all level-9 practitioners at present.
Different from the Grimm Kingdom, the royal family had no absolute control over these forces, only a check and balance role.
Swoosh~
Locke took a deep breath and was still shocked.
In other words, any of these forces could easily destroy a small country like the Grimm Kingdom!
Irene took a plate of washed grapes and sat down next to Locke. âLocke, have some grapes.â
Looking at Irene who was delivering fruits to Locke in person, the boys sitting around clenched their teeth and their eyes were full of jealousy.
They didnât feel any magic aura from Locke. Obviously, he was just an ordinary person without any strength. They didnât understand why Locke was qualified to enter the Imperial Mage Academy.
During the day, they also knew from Doyle that Locke was personally invited by the vice dean. Besides, Locke used some dirty means to win Ireneâs heart.
As a result, a story of a simple girl being cheated on appeared in their minds.
Locke traded his weakness for Ireneâs sympathy so that he could get in touch with Irene. Then, in a mean way, he won Ireneâs favor step by step, making Irene addicted to love and unable to extricate herself.
In the end, she even used her future as a threat to ask the vice dean to enroll Locke into the Imperial Mage Academy. The vice dean cherished her talents, so he agreed to Ireneâs request and allowed Locke to enter the academy as an auditor.
The more they thought about it, the more resentful they became.
Locke nodded and said with a smile, âThank you.â
Noticing that Locke was lost in thought, Irene peeled a grape and fed it to Locke. âCome on, let me feed you.â
Seeing this scene, the boys around were even more jealous.
Sensing the murderous gazes from the crowd, Locke smiled brightly and said, âItâs delicious.â
The smile made the boys gnash their teeth.
âPhoebe, we should talk with Irene.â Not far away, a girl pulled the girl beside her and said, âShe is a student of Sir Dean now. How can she stay with a person without any strength?â
âBut itâs their own business. Itâs not appropriate for us to interfere.â
The girl called âPhoebeâ said hesitantly.
âAs Ireneâs classmate, I think itâs our responsibility to let her know the true colors of this man.â The girl said in a serious tone, obviously, she had already disliked Locke.
As she spoke, the girl stood up and walked to the side of Irene and Locke. She glanced at Locke coldly and then looked at Irene. âIrene, can you come with us?â
âSure.â
Irene nodded with a smile. She put the grapes on the table beside Locke, stood up, and went out with the girl.
Soon, they came to an independent balcony.
Looking at Irene, the girl looked a little serious. âIrene, we think you should keep a distance from Capet.â
âWhy?â Irene didnât expect that she would say this to her. She was a little surprised.
âYou are now a disciple of Sir Dean, and your status is no longer what it used to be. As for Mr. Capet, he is just an auditor. There is a huge difference between you and him. Your intimacy is not good for him, and it will even make Mr. Capetâs situation in the academy worse.â
âThank you, Tiffany.â
Irene smiled sweetly and full of happiness in her tone, âBut I know what Iâm doing.â
Seeing Ireneâs happy face, Tiffany and Phoebe were stunned. They looked at each other and got the helplessness in each otherâs hearts.
What did sweet talk Locke Capet to Irene!
âYouâ¦â Seeing Ireneâs firm attitude, the girl was a little stunned. For a moment, she didnât know how to speak the persuasion that she had considered.
Then she sighed and said nothing more. Perhaps, when Irene saw the wonderful world outside, she would understand their good intentions.
