I Want to Go Home with You

Shortly after Iver left Lloyd's Building, Lily quietly reminded Iver that someone was following them.

Although "Silken Grimoire" strengthens the perception ability, Lily is only First Level after all. If the other party is determined to follow them secretly, it will still be difficult to find the other party based on Lily at this moment.

In other words, this is actually "tracking on the table", and it is Vice President Boca expressing an attitude to Iver:

Our Lloyd's family has a great business, but we have only sent the stalkers you can find to follow you, which shows that our current attitude is very friendly.

This also implies that they do not completely trust Iver, and there will be spies behind them at any time that they cannot detect - tell him that since there are eyes watching you in the dark at any time... you'd better stay calm and don't cause trouble.

But Iver learned another piece of information from this behavior: Lloyd's is currently under political pressure.

How could Lloyd's, who indirectly controlled two-thirds of the seats in the Round Table Hall, controlled large and small enterprises through lending, and major newspapers before, be afraid of a young boy like Iver?

They just told a lot of secrets, but they didn't let Iver have access to any evidence or let him know any details.

If Iver dares to talk nonsense when he goes back, not only will he not be a threat to Lloyd's, but his own purpose will be exposed. This confidence that there is no fear of traitors within is proof of the power of Lloyd's.

But now, their behavior has become obviously cautious. From their point of view, Old Moriarty is already dead... Faced with the Moriarty Family whose head is dead and has no relatives or in-laws, they are so conservative. This shows that their influence in the Round Table Hall has begun to become stagnant.

"Interesting."

Iver The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Who is counteracting the influence of Lloyd's?

He thought about it in his mind and finally found the answer.

——It's Dean Meg.

The old lady passed the task of investigating "Alchemy Bomb Smuggling Case" issued by Hai Na, indicating that this Grand Arbitrator may want to take action against Lloyd's.

Because it is impossible for her not to know that Smuggling Case is related to Lloyd's - all Smuggling Case items coming from the port area are related to them, and Lloyd's has long controlled the entire Lloyd District. As for Grand Arbitrator, who controls the entire Arbitration Hall, she must know about this... After all, some of the arbiters themselves are senior executives of Lloyd's, or have kinship or friendship with the senior executives.

So what's there to investigate?

Although this is Alchemy Bomb's first time, many large items were smuggled in previous years.

When did they investigate Lloyd's? "She wants to advance..."

Iver understands clearly in his heart. It turns out that Meg wanted to advance from this moment on.

What a closed disciple, this is actually looking for a successor.

It's like giving an account of the aftermath.

She may know that her advancement may fail... or even fail with a high probability.

So I want to finish all the things that need to be dealt with and solve all the things that need to be solved before the advancement ceremony.

After all, there are only so many Fifth Level peak transcendents in this era, and everyone knows each other, and it is a pure acquaintance game. I knew all the nine people who came in, and more than half of them were old men and women. Maybe a few decades ago, it was not impossible that there were still grievances and hatreds between each other when they were young, or even close relatives.

It's too easy to become an actor when there are just enough people. This kind of game is not based on strength at all, but on human sophistication.

Whether New Moon Ritual is targeted by others, or her teammates in Full Moon Ritual betray her - even if Meg is strong enough, but others don't want her to advance, it will be difficult.

The old lady obviously understood. But she became stubborn and wanted to give it a try.

Of course, there is another possibility.

"... Perhaps she feels that her life is approaching."

Needless to say, authority, even Dedication Path transcendent who can continuously heal himself, as long as he is Short-lived Races, will not live long after all. Only Twilight Path has a clear way to extend his life or even live forever, and Meg is already over 90 years old this year.

Although her body looks pretty strong... but who knows. Sometimes, only the old man himself knows how his body and bones are.

Iver's heart moved, but he didn't let Lily shake off those tails. But he didn't go directly to the bishop's house to find Sherlock. Instead, he went home first to report that he was safe, hugged Yulia who was worried about him, and then went back to school directly.

He directly let Lily push him to the bottom of the girls' dormitory, stopped a senior student from Third Faculty, showed a polite smile, and asked her to bring Hai Na down.

Upon hearing this, the senior sister opened her eyes wide, stretched out her hand to subconsciously cover her mouth, and froze on the spot for a moment.

But she was just stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed without hesitation.

Iver just waited there for less than twenty minutes. Hai Na, who was fully dressed and didn't even have time to comb his hair, was pushed down by the classmates who were watching the excitement with a confused look on his face.

"... What's the matter, Iver?"

Hai Na touched her hair in embarrassment.

Girls' hair can easily become frizzy if not taken care of carefully; but Hai Na's hair is very thick, so it's troublesome to wash it once, and it's a bit cold in winter. Since these two days were weekends, she simply didn't wash her hair and stayed in her dormitory reading novels.

Recently Avalon has a very popular novel called "Dracula". After reading it, she thought it was really good, so she went to the library to find books written by Mr. Bram Stoker before, planning to have a peaceful and ordinary weekend.

As a result, she was suddenly dragged down by her roommate mysteriously, saying that someone was looking for her.

When I came down and saw it, it turned out to be Iver!

"Senior, you look better without makeup today."

Iver complimented casually.

He glanced at her classmates who were lying by the window watching the excitement, and just smiled and shook his head, "Come with me, senior."

"... Hey, hey? Where are you going? If you want to meet someone, I'll go back and wash my hair first..."

Hai Na pressed his fluffy hair with some reluctance and embarrassment, trying hard to flatten it. But Iver didn't respond to her immediately, so she just trotted behind Lily.

But she doesn't really care about the destination.

Instead, he was a little interested in what Iver said before, "Mr. Iver, is what you just said true?"

"What about makeup?"

Iver turned around and chuckled, "That's true... In my opinion, senior sister looks better without makeup."

"... Sure enough, it should be because my makeup skills are too poor."

Hai Na is a little frustrated. "I just started studying this year... I was too busy when I first came to the university, but now that I have been admitted to Bureau of Supervision in advance, I have time to study these things.

"But this knowledge is too complicated, like the chemistry knowledge taught in Second Faculty, and some aesthetic knowledge in Sixth Faculty - I don't know how to put on makeup at all. Either it's hard to see through the painting, or it feels like it's better not to paint, it's too ugly..."

She followed Iver for a while before she realized that she was heading in the direction of Iver's dormitory.

So Hai Na immediately reacted, this should be related to Sherlock's matter.

But she just became serious, Iver didn't even look back at her, and said without looking back, "Don't be too nervous, senior. It would be better to be more natural."

"Yes, Mr. Iver."

Subconsciously, Hai Na obeyed Iver's instructions. Just like when they fought in Pelican Bar.

After taking Hai Na through the door, Iver took her to Reception Room. Let Lily prepare tea and afternoon tea.

And Iver crossed his fingers and asked, "Didn't you come this morning?"

"Sherlock's funeral?"

Hai Na nodded. "Yes, I didn't go."

Although Bureau of Supervision also asked her to attend Sherlock's funeral today, she still pretended to be very sad and refused - mainly because Hai Na knew that Sherlock was actually not dead, and she was not optimistic about her drama talent.

"I'm worried that I might accidentally expose a flaw and affect your and Mr. Sherlock's plans. So I decided to do nothing."

Hai Na replied.

As an outstanding student of Individual Tactics Faculty, she has learned combat and swordsmanship. Therefore, we deeply understand the principle of "you would rather do nothing than make a mistake".

——How many Third Faculty students have not been chopped down by their classmates' swords accidentally, bitten by their classmates' uncontrollable griffins, or hit by their classmates' out-of-control horses? Perhaps only the seniors and seniors watching the excitement on the side of the playground, preparing to practice Illumination Spell and picking up the Fourth Facultys of the juniors and juniors, can figure it out.

Iver praised, "Very good, otherwise you might be in danger."

"... What's wrong?"

Hai Na realized that Iver wanted to talk about business, and immediately frowned slightly, raised his back, and his tone became more reliable. "Do you need my help, Mr. Iver?"

"Definitely needed."

Iver nodded. "I need you to help me find Sherlock to send a message - I don't know if the phone will be tapped, so it is safest to send the message through a reliable person."

"Being bugged?"

Hai Na was stunned for a moment. "Is there an enemy that Moriarty Family can't defeat?"

This is unimaginable to her - Moriarty Family is already an almost "eternal" behemoth to her. Moriarty's income in one year is money that she will never earn in her entire life.

Not to mention, Edward is also the Chief Inspector of the Inspectorate of Glass Island!

How terrifying is it to be an enemy that cannot be fought against? "The problem is actually not big, I can solve it myself."

Iver said in a deep voice, "You mainly want to tell him that I am now forced to join Lloyd's, and I may have to fake my death again in the future... Don't reveal the truth."

"——Are you coming too?!"

Hai Na blurted out without even caring about politeness.

She realized the other person's problem almost immediately. "Isabel Princess What should we do over there?"

"Look at what Sherlock said."

Iver narrowed his eyes and fell into thinking, "I'm also afraid that Isabel won't be able to bear it. So I tend to explain it to her in person in advance, but you also know... the more people know about this kind of thing, the more holes it will be exposed. But strictly speaking, I wasn't really going to die, but I was kidnapped and disappeared. Maybe I could tell her in advance."

"What's the specific time? "Hai Na asked.

"Next week."

Iver replied without hesitation.

No matter what, he had to extract the demon from Yulia's body before he could do this. Otherwise she will 100% lose control.

"At the beginning of next month?"

Hai Na's attention point is a bit strange. "Isn't that Final Exam?"

"My suspended animation is different from Sherlock... I will only be missing for two or three days at most, and it won't delay the exam."

Iver is not nervous about this.

What's more, what if I don't do well in the exam? He just comes here to read the banned books in the library, and it's not like Hai Na who needs a chief title to change his destiny.

What's more, this year's knowledge is indeed not difficult. Iver feels that his scores in the naked exam will not be bad.

"How about I help you with some tutoring?"

Hai Na is eager to try.

She never knew how she could help Iver.

She had entrusted Dean Meg's troubles to Iver and Sherlock before, but when the two people had a quick discussion, she felt that she couldn't get involved at all - their logic jumped too fast, and they even omitted a lot of processes in the middle. She felt like her brain was going to burn as she listened to it.

Obviously I have always been smart and my grades are very good. But why do you still look so naive in front of them? Hai Na Sometimes I doubt myself like this.

Now, she felt that she finally had a place where she could give back - handing over all her important tasks to others while she watched from the side... Although this kind of thing sounded very suitable for Path of Authority, she was a little unable to do it. At least I'm still a little embarrassed to do it now.

"Although I may handle complex events like that, or lack talent in layout and planning, but Final Exam, I'm still very good at it!"

Hai Na is eager to try. "I'm good at taking exams!"

"That's fine," Iver readily agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, senior.

"——Oh, right. After Final Exam is over, can I go back to your hometown with you?"

"... Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Na suddenly opened his eyes wide and froze on the spot, completely motionless.

Iver suddenly chuckled evilly, and then Hai Na realized that he had misunderstood.

The young man who looked like Fox waved his hands gently, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I'm just kidding, actually I have to go to Eagle Cape Village for something. Sherlock will come when the time comes. As the host, you have to show us the way."

"——Ah, that's no problem!"

Hai Na responded readily, "You can come at any time, I will entertain you well! Although Eagle Point is a small village, there are still a lot of delicious and fun things!"

"Speaking of which," Iver asked insinuatingly, "I only found out recently that before I was adopted by my father... my biological grandfather was from Eagle Cape Village."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Hai Na's eyes lit up. "Really!"

"Yes, his name is Jacob Alexander, and he died of typhoid fourteen years ago. Do you know him?"

Iver asked seriously.

Hai Na thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes. "You mean... Grandpa Jacob? Is it Grandpa Jacob who writes novels and poems?

"When I was very young, it was Grandpa Jacob who taught me how to read!"
