Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the second day of the Year Three General Assembly, after the two vice principals gave their speeches, Chu Jie slowly walked to the rostrum with a piece of paper in hand. She was no longer looking arrogant .

However, there was still a cold and disdainful look in her eyes as she swept a cold glance in the direction of Class Twenty.

“Today, I would like to take advantage of the encouragement meeting for all the third-year students to solemnly apologize to the students of Class Twenty. I shouldn’t have scolded them for being ignorant and incompetent. I shouldn’t have mocked them for their poor grades, and I shouldn’t have chased them out of class. I hope they can forgive me. I will take this as a warning and treat every student fairly in the future.”

“I hope all Year Three students can work hard this year and achieve satisfactory results. ”

After Chu Jie finished speaking, the entire hall was silent. In the end, Yang Jingting led the students of Class Twenty to applaud. However, in Chu Jie’s eyes, she felt that Yang Jingting was mocking her.

Watermelon Head sat in front of Wenxin and turned around, glancing at Wenxin, who was busy with her phone. He playfully bumped into Wenxin’s desk with his back and said, “Wen Xin, how do you feel about apologizing to the old witch?”

“It’s not like she’s apologizing to me. If you’re not satisfied, you can voice your opinions.”

Wen Xin’s voice was cold, and it sent shivers down the Watermelon Head’s spine. “I wouldn’t dare. She’s the famous old witch. It’s already unbelievable that we made her apologize. She’ll probably chase me out of school if I push my luck.”

Watermelon Head did not dare to go overboard. She knew that Chu Jie’s words still carried a certain weight in front of Vice Principal Li.

Wen Xin looked at the message on her phone and raised her eyebrows slightly. “No, as long as you dare to make a fuss, I can guarantee that you’ll be safe and sound.”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I don’t have the guts to do that. I can’t afford to offend her.’

Watermelon Head lowered his head. He could feel the arrogant and unrestrained aura emanating from Wen Xin. Even with Wen Xin backing him, he did not dare to do so.

“That old witch is really scheming. She was clearly apologizing to the six of us, but now she’s apologizing to Class Twenty. She’s just unwilling to admit our progress.”

Zhao Yuyao looked in Chu Jie’s direction and narrowed his eyes. How could he not guess what Chu Jie was thinking? Apologizing to Class Twenty wouldn’t be too embarrassing, nor would others say she couldn’t afford to lose a bet.

“Enough. Teacher Chu is a teacher, after all. You are students. You need to respect your teachers, understand?”

Suddenly, Tang Luoluo, who was sitting in the front row, glanced at them. Finally, her gaze fell on Wen Xin, and her tone was not friendly at all.

No one had ever dared to speak to Zhao Yuyao like this. Zhao Yuyao almost lost his cool.

Wen Xin looked in Tang Luoluo’s direction. She turned her head and asked

Zhao Yuyao in a soft voice,” Was she with us during the team building on Saturday?”

“Yes, we went to play together. If I knew she was so ignorant, I wouldn’t have brought her along!”

Zhao Yuyao, who had not suffered many losses since he was young, said angrily. It was really unlucky to be scolded by such a person.

Wen Xin’s gaze fell on Tang Luoluo for a while before she retracted her gaze. The corners of her mouth curled up into a dark and mysterious smile, which was meaningful.

Wen Xin’s phone vibrated a few times. She looked at the caller ID on her phone and walked out of the meeting room into the bathroom.

Wen Xin took out her earphones, adjusted the voice changer, and called back.

“Gu Ying, this is Lucas. I’m currently in Luocheng , and there’s a batch of goods scheduled to be shipped from the port in Ancient Market Town three days from now. If you don’t take action soon, it might be more challenging to catch the Shadow Alliance’s tail next time. It seems the Shadow Alliance isn’t very interested in domestic affairs.

“I understand. Take care of yourself.”

Wen Xin spoke through her voice-changing device, making it impossible for the other party to discern whether she was male or female, and they had no clue about her age. However, she remembered that without him back then, she might not have survived to this day.

“Gu Ying, I heard that the Shadow Alliance is very concerned about this batch of goods. I just don’t know which Boss will arrange to receive them. I was arranged to be in Luocheng for another mission. Someone was captured at the airport in Luocheng, so I came to see the situation.”

Lucas ‘voice was soft and slow, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone. It was as if he was testing Wen Xin, wanting to know if the person who had captured him at Luocheng Airport was Gu Ying.

“You don’t have to test me. I’ll inform you in advance of everything I do. I won’t do anything that will put you in danger. If it’s time for you to leave, I’ll inform you in advance.”

Wen Xin’s words were met with a chuckle from the other end of the phone. “The Alliance Master of the Chou League is indeed smart. I’ve agreed to work with you not because I want to leave the Shadow Alliance, but because I want to control it.”

“I’ve found out what you asked me to investigate. Those people who attacked the Ancient Town Square thirteen years ago are now the elders of the Shadow Alliance. They don’t take orders anymore. If you want revenge, you can only destroy the Shadow Alliance, and I need your help.”

Wen Xin leaned lazily against the door of the bathroom, her eyes narrowed, as if she was thinking about what the other party had said.

After gaining power, her ambition would swell. What she wanted was not to change the leader of the Shadow Alliance, but to completely destroy the Shadow Alliance.

Are you sure you want the Shadow Alliance?”

“I’m sure. I want the Shadow Alliance, but don’t worry. I promise to tell you the truth. I can’t control the Shadow Alliance by myself. I need you to help me. Of course, I can promise you a share of the profits.”

Lucas’ promise was met with a faint smile. How could she trust a person who was blinded by profit?

There was no need for the Shadow Alliance to exist, but thinking about the meaning of its existence, if the Shadow Alliance was eliminated, other organizations would definitely appear.

“Alright, I’ll cooperate with you. If I find out that you lied to me or betrayed me, I guarantee that you will die a worse death than them.”

The low warning made the person on the other end of the phone nervous. He knew the power of the Chou Alliance very well. Back then, the people of the Chou Alliance could save him and send him back quietly. He already knew that the Alliance Master was not simple.

However, he had lived on a knife’s edge for so many years. He did not want to continue being someone else’s subordinate, so he made such a decision.

“Don’t worry, my life is yours. I can be honest with you, which proves that I’m sincere.”

“It’s best if that’s the case.

Wen Xin was about to hang up the phone when another voice sounded from the other end.

“I forgot to tell you that there’s an Asian face in the Shadow Alliance recently. He’s Aiden’s godson. I heard that he’s a dark person and has a sinister personality. Be careful. He’s very bewitching. Many people have fallen at his hands..”
