Got It

Dave raised his hands, looking utterly helpless, and said, "To graduate, I have to finish the Tesla Coil experiment first."

Bennett clapped his hands, then got up and walked to the Fridge, pointing to a picture of a pack of wolves clipped to the Fridge top. "Dave," he said, "Do you know the story of the Big Bad Wolf?"

Seeing this, Dave immediately begged for mercy, "No, no, no, please!"

"Stop talking about your big bad wolf, I won't..."

Bennett ignored Dave's refusal, took down the photograph, and approached Dave: "The gray wolf is a social animal; it must find a mate, hunt, and forage for food."

Bennett sat down in front of Dave, holding up the photo and loudly proclaiming, "We must participate in group activities!"

Then, in a shrill voice, she added, "Otherwise, you'll be driven out of the pack."

After saying that, Bennett spoke normally, "A lonely life, eaten by a big bear."

Watching Bennett's performance, Dave nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you're right."

"Looks like I need to find a way to survive."

After the two reached an agreement, Dave got up, dressed, and headed towards New York University.

Charlotte walked out of the street and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

New York University!

Sitting in the car, the clear sky suddenly turned into a thick cloud cover, looking like it was about to rain.

The taxi was driving along the road when a strong wind picked up before they even reached their destination, and soon a heavy rain began to fall. Seeing this, Charlotte closed her eyes and rested in the car.

An hour later, the taxi stopped.

"Sir, we've arrived at New York University."

Hearing the driver's voice, Charlotte opened her eyes, saw that it was still raining outside, frowned slightly, and thought to herself that she hoped nothing would go wrong. Then she took out an umbrella from her Storage Space, paid the fare, and got out of the car.

Holding an umbrella, Charlotte entered the campus and arrived at the gate of the Greer Physics Laboratory in the College of Arts and Science.

Through the classroom window, Charlotte saw a young student lecturing on the stage, then picked up her phone and dialed Dave's number.

Dave, who was giving a lecture, felt his phone vibrate and saw Charlotte making a phone call outside the classroom. He immediately guessed that the person outside was the buyer he had arranged to meet.

Looking at everyone in the classroom, Dave coughed and then said, "Everyone, take a ten-minute break and think about what I just said. If you have any questions, you can ask me later."

After giving a brief explanation, Dave walked out of the classroom and went to Charlotte.

"Sir, are you the one who wants to buy my ring?"

Looking at Dave in front of her, Charlotte took off her small backpack and threw it at him.

Dave hurriedly caught the backpack, looking at Charlotte with some confusion.

"This is the $100,000 for the ring; you can take a look."

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Dave was visibly taken aback. He hadn't expected the buyer to be so agreeable. He then unzipped his backpack, revealing it to be full of US Dollar 10 bills, making the small package bulge.

Seeing the bag of money, Dave was somewhat taken aback. He then cautiously looked around and, finding no one watching, took out the Dragon Ring from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

Charlotte had just obtained the Dragon Ring when the system's voice echoed in her mind.

Ding! Items available for recharge have been detected. Do you wish to recharge?

No!

Charlotte directly rejected the system's prompt. At that moment, the dragon-shaped ring in her palm seemed to come alive, and it actually climbed onto Charlotte's ring finger on its own, then wrapped its dragon tail around her finger, fixing itself in place.

Dave rubbed his eyes upon seeing this. He had tried the ring on his family and friends, but none of them reacted; only he could wear it. Yet, this buyer could.

Looking at the money in his pocket, and then at the ring on the other person's hand, Dave murmured, "Could it all be true?"

"Or am I not the only special person...?"

Charlotte had already completed the transaction, shook her hand, and finding that the ring hadn't fallen off, nodded in satisfaction. "I like this ring!"

"See you again, Dave!"

After speaking, Charlotte Doyle, holding an umbrella, left New York University.

Watching the other person leave, Dave shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He had to go back to class, and besides, he had run into his childhood goddess today—it was like a double blessing.

Dave zipped up his backpack, turned around, and walked into the classroom to continue today's lesson.

On the other side.

At this time, Coulson and Temari had already arrived at the New York airport and drove her to Charlotte Agency on 71st Avenue, Forest Hills, Queens Queens.

Despite the wind and rain on the way, it did not dampen Temari's curiosity about this metropolis.

Although the people here are physically weak, the technological advancements and the accompanying high-rise buildings still Temari.

While heavy rain might be considered bad weather by others, for Temari of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, rain is the best gift from heaven.

The car drove on and finally stopped at the intersection of 71st Avenue, looking at the destroyed streets and the houses under repair with police tape in place.

Coulson was also filled with surprise; what on earth had happened here?

After getting out of the car, the two walked to the entrance of Charlotte Agency, holding umbrellas. Due to the heavy rain, the reporters who had been blocking the entrance had all dispersed.

"This is Mr. Charlotte's Agency. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't see you inside."

After speaking, Coulson didn't linger and turned to leave.

He didn't know what had happened here, but it was definitely related to Charlotte, and since the Director had told him to go back and report immediately, he didn't dare to delay.

Upon seeing Temari wearing a ninja Headband, the doorman at the entrance proactively opened the Agency door and Temari her to come in.

Holding Kamatari, Temari folded her umbrella and walked straight into the Agency lobby.

Iruka, who was on duty at the front desk, was checking the latest assignments from the Continental Hotel online. He needed to filter them to see if there were any suitable assignments.

Hearing someone come in, he looked up and immediately saw Temari, Sand Ninja.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Iruka was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Lord Charlotte actually brought someone, and they're not from Konoha... This..."
