Albert Napolitano

Liu Jinsen was still working hard to get around.

However, Three Towers Academy was currently under lockdown. Since he couldn't get into Three Towers Academy, he naturally couldn't contact Albert Napolitano.

This legend of the human world was almost always busy with his own affairs, and very few people could find him.

Normally, when he appeared, it was because he had something to do, needed certain things, and would directly appear before high-level personnel or the home of some important figure.

Although finding Albert Napolitano could indeed help Wen Xishu escape the difficulties posed by the First Bureau of the Security Bureau.

But the problem was – how to find him?

In the past few hours, Liu Jinsen had first gone to the academy, but he couldn't get in.

So he thought about visiting the Xun family in the Bunker, a family of nobles renowned for their heroes.

Perhaps he could contact Napolitano by finding Xun Hui, Napolitano's most accomplished disciple.

Liu Jinsen didn't get to meet Xun Hui, but with the help of the Xun family, he managed to get Xun Hui on the phone.

On the phone, Liu Jinsen explained everything clearly and concisely.

Xun Hui simply said, "You don't need to worry about this," and hung up.

Of course, Liu Jinsen couldn't just ignore it.

Although Xun Hui was the number one on the Tower of Slaughter Heavenly Ladder, he hadn't provided any information other than telling Liu Jinsen not to worry about it.

He also didn't know if Xun Hui was willing to help.

The Second Bureau's help to Wen Xishu had ulterior motives, but Liu Jinsen's motive was very pure: he simply hoped that those who had contributed to the Bunker could survive.

At least in his opinion, Wen Xishu didn't deserve to die, and killing him after he had made meritorious contributions was a blasphemy against the laws of the Bunker.

Therefore, Liu Jinsen was still rushing around, heading towards the Wen family's residence.

Three Towers Academy.

In a park within the Tower of Desire Academy, an old man and a young man were playing chess.

There was no one watching around them.

A few people who could enter the Tower of Desire Academy had outstanding innate conditions. Most of them had strong family backgrounds.

But even in this academy where nobles were everywhere and the rich were as common as dogs, no one dared to disturb these two playing chess.

The academy had issued a notice in the afternoon that the park area was off-limits.

"Your chess skills have improved, Mirror."

"You flatter me, Teacher. A few days ago, I met a very abstract chess player in the Tower of Desire. He was naturally gifted and unparalleled, but unfortunately, he played against an AI that surpassed human computing power too early, shattering his Dao heart. I learned from him, thinking it would help me play longer with you."

"You, you just love that knowledge within the Three Towers. If you study any longer, I won't be your match, hahahaha..."

The old man laughed heartily. He was ninety-one years old, but he looked no older than fifty. His white hair didn't make him look old, because his physique, complexion, and muscles all looked like he was not over sixty.

The person playing chess with him was the pride of the entire Bunker, the Prince Charming of countless women in the Political Affairs Bureau—

Wen Renjing, the current number one of the Tower of Desire.

He could also be called the heartthrob of the Bunker.

His family background and personal qualifications were both impeccable.

But Wen Renjing was also very respectful towards the old man, and it was from the bottom of his heart.

Because the old man was one of the living legends of the Bunker, Albert Napolitano.

The principal of Three Towers Academy.

"But you didn't come to see me about this today, did you? You and Xun Hui are secretly competing. He hasn't slacked off, so why would you have the leisure to play chess with me?"

Wen Renjing smiled and said:

"Teacher, I won't hide it from you. Today, a Level Six building appeared on the second level of the Bunker."

Albert was not surprised, and Wen Renjing was not surprised by his lack of surprise.

"Good stuff. Our school needs a school infirmary. Actually, I quite wanted to move that building to the school."

"But the people below are too miserable. The Security Bureau and the Political Affairs Bureau alone are already beastly enough. We shouldn't be too beastly. You work hard, and when you can, bring a few more Level Six buildings to the school."

He said it very casually, as if a Level Six building was something easy to obtain.

Of course, even for this legendary figure himself, bringing back a Level Six building would depend on luck.

But they could indeed do it.

If they said such words, no one would doubt them.

Wen Renjing suddenly asked, "Do you think he did it through his own abilities?"

Albert chuckled; it was rare for the kid to lose his composure. It seemed certain things still weighed on his mind.

The old principal said:

"I read a book where the protagonist loved to emphasize, 'My strength today is all due to my own hard work,' and then… every time he encountered danger, he'd shout, 'System, add stats.'"

"Heh, you know, these writers in the Bunker sure come up with some interesting stories."

"Many people say, 'What's the point of relying on cheats?' But if the cheat chooses you, and you utilize it effectively, why wouldn't that count?"

"So, people sometimes fail to understand one thing."

"When others have something you don't, you often think, 'It's just because I don't have it. If I did, I could too.'"

"But if it were truly put upon you, you might not survive."

Wen Renjing nodded thoughtfully.

Albert asked:

"What's this? Even a genius like you thinks the results of your first exploration of the Tower of Deception were too sensational?"

Wen Renjing shook his head:

"It's just too coincidental. Once, I always considered Chaohua..."

He paused slightly:

I considered Wen Chaohua a good friend. He suddenly made bizarre moves, and the entire Wen family followed suit, and then… his brother, who had been unhinged for years, was no longer unhinged.

"He even became a genius. This is just too coincidental."

In his address to a certain person, Wen Renjing added an extra character. It was to create a sense of distance and to clearly state his position.

People naturally have positions, and they must have them.

Yet, deep down, Wen Renjing still occasionally reminisced about the days when the three of them dominated the Three Towers, becoming a legend in the Bunker.

Albert said:

"It is indeed coincidental. Since you have doubts, and I have doubts, it's simple. I'll go see him myself."

Wen Renjing asked:

"You hope he enters the Tower of Desire Academy?"

Albert shook his head:

"It's not decided yet. I'll have to see the kid first."

Then, Albert added:

"For now, you should focus on breaking through to higher levels. Even if this kid is a true genius, or an 'inheritor,' he still has a very, very long road ahead to catch up to your realm."

Wen Renjing understood the implication.

No matter what, the fundamental mechanics of the Three Towers were there. Without improving Magic Resistance, Luck Value, and Slaughter Value, even the most stunning performance on the first ascent meant little.

Wen Xishu's journey had only taken its first step.

Wen Renjing said:

"Yes, I've recently been involved in… a very tricky chain quest. There are many corruptors, and it's highly possible the quest target himself has become a corruptor."

"I'll likely be gone for a while to investigate Wen Chaohua's matters. I'll have to trouble you with it, Teacher."

Albert nodded and waved his hand:

"Then let's call it a day. We'll play chess next time. I need to go see that child too. It's not good to be too late."

Wen Renjing stood up and bowed to Albert:

"Thank you, Teacher. My position is clear, and I cannot speak for Wen Chaohua. If it were merely the Tower of Desire… never mind, the crimes he committed are too heinous. I have no intention of speaking for him."

"No matter how good our past relationship was… I can distinguish right from wrong."

"I'm not showing favoritism to his brother either, but I think… at least there are doubts about this matter. Even if he must be killed, it should be after the incident is properly classified."

"Moreover, his brother has indeed changed the fate of many people, including some students from the Three Towers Academy. If this epidemic can be eradicated…"

Albert laughed heartily:

"Alright, you go take care of your business. Leave this matter to me."

"Coincidentally, I also want to inspect the Security Bureau and see just how secure it really is."
