Chapter 25: Undercurrents

Previous Chapter

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the guards, Li De left the Duke's Palace, not taking a cloud with him, but only Avril's heart.

"I hope this future father-in-law won't make it difficult for me, otherwise it will definitely be a lifelong regret for Avril!" After Li De left the Duke's Palace, his mood was not as calm as it appeared to be.

Although Li De was very strong before, he was unwilling to really break with the Wason family and not get the blessing of his own family. Li De naturally didn't want Avril to be with him in the future, but he had irreparable regrets in his heart.

It's just that Duke Wazon is in a state at this time, if you still convince people with him, then you will only play the piano to the cow and talk in vain. It is precisely because of this understanding that Li De will just go head-to-head with Duke Wazent, properly showing his strength, so that Duke Watsant realizes that the object he wants to hold is not a soft persimmon, but a latent tiger, and the tiger can kill.

With Duke Watcent's status and strength, he naturally would not take Li De in his eyes, but the strength that Li De had shown in the hall before made him shocked.

Although Duke Watson is stubborn and can sacrifice everything for his hatred, he is also a man who cherishes his life, especially this senseless injury, he is even more unwilling.

It was precisely because Duke Wacente understood this, coupled with some other scruples, that he let Li Deyao leave after showing off his might.

Li De quietly returned to his house, and he paid attention to his whereabouts during this trip, but he did not attract anyone's attention. On the other hand, Duke Wacente also issued a gag order in the Duke's Palace, so the news of Li De's coming to the Mansion was not spread.

In an almost luxurious mansion, Vice Dean Henry meets Norman's son, Justin Norman.

Justin Norman was dressed in golden court robes, blonde hair and blue eyes, heroic, eyes as sharp as eagles, shining with a compelling essence, his figure was not tall, but he was a little stronger than the thin and thin Leed, and his gestures were full of momentum, worthy of the prince of a country.

"Vice Dean, I wonder what you came to me for?" Justin Norman asked softly as he looked at Vice Dean Henry with a calm gaze.

"Your Royal Highness, I have come here today to discuss with Your Highness, and this matter involves the glory of the Academy and the face of the Kingdom!" Vice Dean Henry said cautiously. The young man in front of him can't be looked at with ordinary eyes, even he has to face it carefully.

"Oh, I don't know what makes you so nervous, Vice Dean!" said Justin curiously.

"Your Highness should already know that Arthur was challenged by one of the Academies of Magnolia Academy!" Vice Dean Henry said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Justin nodded slightly.

"But Your Highness must not know that Arthur was easily defeated by that student of the Magnolia Academy just now, and it can be said that he was defeated without any way to fight back!" Vice Dean Henry continued.

"What?" said Justin, stunned, with a look of surprise. "Although Arthur has not yet broken through to the realm of magicians, ordinary magicians are definitely not his opponents, why is he so unbearable? Could it be that his opponents are not ordinary people?"

"Your Highness's guess is right, that Magnolia student named Carl Lide is really not an ordinary character, he has reached the realm of a magician at the age of eighteen, and his strength should not be underestimated!" Vice Dean Henry continued.

"Magician, eighteen years old?" Justin's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly, didn't he say that there were no amazing geniuses among the students of the same age in Magnolia Academy?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, after the appearance of this Carl Lide in the Magnolia Academy, they are no longer as low-voiced as before, they want to reverse the humiliation we brought to them before, if Your Highness does not make a move, the situation is precarious!" Vice Dean Henry said sincerely.

"I know what you mean!" said Justin with a grimace, serious and confident. "Since the other party has produced a magician, then I will meet him for a while, completely trample the younger generation of the Magnolia Kingdom under their feet, and let them remember this humiliation in their hearts!"

"Whew!" Seeing that Justin actually responded so easily, Vice Dean Henry couldn't help but be relieved, and then smiled and counted. "I wish Your Highness success and my Norman majesty in the first battle!"

"It's a trifle!" said Justin with a slight wave of his hand, then with a solemn expression. "Regarding the matter of the Watsant family, please pay more attention to the vice president, this matter is a major matter related to the great cause of my Norman kingdom, and there can be no difference!"

"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter is already secure, but it may not be easy for the Watson family, the Hall family, and some other families to do it!" Vice President Henry said with a slight frown.

"Don't worry, this matter is not as simple as you imagined, since Duke Wacent dares to do this, he must have something to rely on, and we will not sit idly by!" Justin said with a faint smile.

Although Vice Dean Henry is the vice president of Norman House and a veteran archmage, his status is still inferior to Justin's, so there are some insider stories that he cannot contact and understand.

"What does Your Highness mean....." Vice President Henry saw Justin's confident appearance, and suddenly realized something in his heart, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"As long as the vice president understands this matter, we must not leak the news and affect the kingdom's plans!" Justin interrupted in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Vice President Henry hurriedly replied.

Later, after discussing some details with Justin, Vice Dean Henry left Justin's mansion with apprehension and returned to the residence of the Norman College delegation to arrange matters related to the battle between Justin and Leed.

The next day, Vice Dean Henry approached Hult and told him that Justin was willing to fight Leed, but the battle between the two would need to take place on Saturday the following week.

Hult had no objection to this, and directly responded on behalf of Li De.

Later, Hult told McLean about the battle between Justin and Reed, and McClain couldn't help frowning when he learned that the other party had actually asked for it to take place on Saturday the following week.

"What is the Norman side trying to do!" McLean said in an unkind tone.

"Dean?" Hult couldn't help but be startled, and quickly asked.

"Next week's Sunday is the twentieth anniversary of the old king's death, and David will definitely go to the royal tomb to pay his respects! Norman's request to schedule it for next week's Saturday must have a plan!" McLean said in a deep voice.

The royal tomb of the Magnolia Kingdom is not in the White Jade City, but in a hill a hundred kilometers northeast of the White Jade City.

"Dean, should we change the time?" said Hult, with a worried expression.

"No, I'll discuss this with David, you just need to get the matter done with the battle between Lide and Justin!" McLean said.

"Yes, Dean!" Hult replied.
