Westerville High School 🏫📚

"What a real irony," Eira said with a slight nod, placing her hand under her chin, as Arlin asked, "What's wrong?"

"Finding lyrics seems hard, I guess," Dave replied, taking a sip of his drink.

"We haven't seen him here for a week," Arlin explained with sarcasm. "I don't think Lyric is here," Thalia stated.

This time, it was Eira who let out a puff. "Are you saying Godfather doesn't know what he's saying?" Eira asked.

"To be honest, I felt this is all a trap. He is our life saver," Arlin added, half-yelling. "Then why is he interested in Lyric? Who knows? Want to reconcile all?"

"Cut the crap," Kael spoke up, as they all faced him. Dave added with a calculating smile, "Did you think Godfather had another plan?" making Kael's eyes widen. He quickly composed himself and added, "What nonsense are you spouting? Lyric is my younger sister. I'm quite overwhelmed. Besides, not only Godfather, others are also hunting her."

"Speaking of which, I heard Godfather's son is back," Eira muttered, trying to ease the tension. "Did the matriarch plan on using the young master?" Thalia asked.

"Then we are definitely no match for him," Arlin muttered. "She is destined to be hunted. Hunting her isn't really easy," Dave assured. "But she has a unique fragrance," Arlin argued.

"Which had been concealed," Dave added, bringing out six stacks of pictures containing the Glitteratii Girls.

Meanwhile, Lexi was dumbfounded, staring at the gorgeous, handsome stranger. "Are you an Esper, cultivator, or power wielder?" Lexi asked after some moment of silence and constant stares.

"Hmm, it's a good identity. So, which did you belong to?" Royal, the good-looking stranger, asked, his eyes piercing as his voice sounded ethereal. He found it quite amusing.

Lexi gritted her teeth, wanting to sound more like a normal high school teen. "Wanting to know your type," she added.

"Want to know?" Royal repeated, his smirk growing. "You're not even smart enough to know that," he teased.

Lexi glared at him in anger, adding sweetly, "You read minds, don't you?"

"No," Royal replied calmly, shaking his head.

As Lexi glanced at him in suspicion, Royal muttered, "Stop staring. Your cultivation level is better than your brain."

This time, Lexi spat out, "f**k your mother!" with anger, wanting to teleport. Royal just made a "tsk" sound with his mouth as Lexi teleported.

"Such techniques," Royal whispered, remembering he was asked to find a girl.

At Rolex Airport, a girl about 18 or 19 years old, Waving at Bethany, who smiled before walking towards her. "My baby has grown even cuter," Bethany added, pinching her cheeks. "Mom, I'm no longer a child," the girl replied with a puff.

"Says the one who cries all the time," another voice chimed in from the other end of the car. The girl's eyes narrowed, and she gritted her teeth. "Greg," she called out.

"Point of correction, Altair," the boy replied, removing his face cap. "Put it on," Bethany warned in a sharp tone. "Stop being dramatic. I was just blessed with a good-looking face – not my fault," he added with a cheeky smile.

"Greg," Bethany called out in a stern voice. "That's my middle name," he replied. "Let's go before we start another drama," Silvia muttered, walking ahead of them. "Keep counting your errors; you'll be dealt with," Bethany added with a warning before walking out of sight.

"Did my face stop emitting charm?" Altair, also known as Greg, asked, looking surprised. Nearby, some girls whispered to each other, "Handsome, can I get your number?" as they winked at him. Silvia rolled her eyes and muttered, "Number to get messed up."

Bethany asked Silvia if Altair appearance had changed, and Silvia replied that no one had told him to be breathtakingly good-looking. "For the record, I haven't seen any guy as good-looking as him," Bethany added. "He's the inheritor of that forbidden art," Silvia muttered.

"Let's go home first; there are some things that need to be done," Bethany said, as Sapphire's face flashed in her mind. "Don't worry, Mom; no girl can resist my brother," Silvia boasted. "Sapphire herself is irresistible," Bethany argued. With that, they both entered the car, waiting for Altair – the bewitching king.

{An unknown basement }

Pedro, the leader of the Yindiao force and Delvaire's adopted father, asked, "Eliana, which trick are you planning to use this time?" Eliana responded, "Is that how you speak to your wife?" with a light flicker of her tongue. Pedro questioned, "Why did you send Royal to Westerville?" Eliana said with a small laugh, "Oh, you don't know yet. Not just Royal, Ross would also be there." Pedro warned, "You are asking for trouble." Eliana replied, "Come on, how long did you plan on hiding your secrets? Besides Ross, no one could make Royal change his mind." Pedro took a sharp breath, and Eliana continued, "Since you insisted on your choice, get ready for war." Pedro's eyes widened as Eliana warned, "I hope the Delvaire knows your next step." Eliana disappeared, leaving Pedro's heart in turmoil over the impending danger

{Westerville High School 🏫📚}

Announcement hall, most students were scattered in different places, eagerly awaiting the welcoming party for new students. Sapphire muttered, "I've only seen one of the new students, Dave, who appeared at the science department a few times." Tanya added, "The rest weren't serious and didn't resume." Marrie said, "Even the guy in question is also unserious." Dani smiled and said, "Some people find them quite dashing." The girls' attention focused on Tanya, who quickly added, "There's nothing wrong with admiring beauty, right, Lexi?" Lexi, who was quiet, muttered, "Huh?" Sapphire asked, "Did something bad happen?" Lexi denied, "No, nothing at all." Tanya teased, "Wandering if you had issues with that nerd of a boyfriend." Lexi frowned, and Tanya continued, "What does a single person know about love?" Dani asked, "Just tell us who she's planning to...this time." Chloe pursed her lips and said, "I thought she was Troy's...that should be in the past." Sapphire rolled her eyes and said, "There's nothing between me and Troy

As the commotion at the entrance grew, the girls couldn't help but glance over. "The dudes are more good-looking than A-list actresses," someone said. Tanya redoing her makeup said, "I wouldn't want to miss a partner." Chloe irritated said, "You're too showy." Marrie added, "Speaking as if you're the only sinner." Lexi said with excitement, "A nice one!" but her enthusiasm was short-lived as she caught sight of Royal. Sapphire noticed Lexi's movement and asked, "What's wrong?" Lexi assured her, "I'm fine." Tanya mentioned Sapphire's stepbrother, Altair, and how good-looking he was. Dani complimented, "Their visuals are really superb." Lexi took out her phone, aiming it at the entrance direction. Royal smiled, expecting a capturing moment, and gave a casual pose, making Lexi's eyes widen.

Ross, walking behind Royal, rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't come here to show attention." Royal muttered, "Sounding like that old woman." Ross added, "Don't forget I'm your elder." Royal responded sarcastically, "Yes, elder Ross." As they walked, a voice said from behind, "Move away," sounding arrogant. Troy and Baron watched from another angle, with Baron saying, "This cousin of yours is more than a peacock." Troy nodded in agreement, mentioning that Royal's master was from the Imperial Shen in Beijing. Carol and Baron widened their eyes in surprise.

In the another angle

Lexi added, "Silvia never seems to amaze me." Chloe said with deep thought, "Come to think of it, is she declaring war on the first day?" Lexi supported her, while Marrie shook her head lightly, saying, "Not good." Dani suggested, "Let's just watch the upcoming drama." Sapphire said, "Their aura isn't good." Royal glanced at Silvia and said, "Sure," but then added mockingly, "Isn't it better to be thin than fat?" Silvia pointed at Royal, who had an innocent look, and said, "You." Royal continued, "Cute girls are expected to always have a smile on their faces," followed by a smirk. Lexi cursed under her breath, and Royal asked from behind, "Did my mother offend you in her past life?" causing Lexi to freeze.
