Horikita Suzune, That Unforgettable Scene

"I'm sorry."

Horikita Manabu, capable of bending and stretching as the situation demanded, spoke in a low voice: "Could you please delete that video?"

"Hmph, you know when to fold."

Prince Ganlongdao let out a cold snort.

After deleting the video right in front of the two of them, he turned and walked away.

It was as if he had no interest in their affairs whatsoever.

Nearby.

Having caught their conversation.

Horikita Suzune's delicate frame trembled in a daze.

Her brother.

The brother who had been omnipotent since childhood, the one she viewed as her idol and goal!

He had actually apologized to Prince Ganlongdao?

Even though she had already said she was willing to pay some Private Points to purchase that video.

Yet, Horikita Manabu had still chosen to apologize!

Had the brother who had been independent since he was small, the one who could solve everything on his own, become so concerned with his reputation now?

Or perhaps.

Horikita Manabu didn't want to be associated with her, his younger sister, in any way.

Did he loathe her to such an extent?

At this thought, Horikita Suzune felt a sharp pang in her heart.

"Wait."

On the other side, Horikita Manabu couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit suspicious:

"You deleted it so easily; aren't you afraid I'll frame you for ambushing a senior? You should know, there are no surveillance devices here."

This video.

Was not just a means to threaten Horikita Suzune and the others.

It was also a means for Prince Ganlongdao to protect himself!

After all.

The Horikita siblings could easily collude and fabricate facts at will.

When that time came.

I'm afraid that apart from shouting that he was wronged, Prince Ganlongdao would have no way to defend himself.

Such an important video.

The guy in front of him had deleted it without the slightest hesitation.

Had he not thought of that, or did he have a backup?

"Heh, are you an idiot?"

Prince Ganlongdao looked back at the two of them, saying with some disdain:

"You're wondering if I have a backup, aren't you? How foolish!"

"Oh, Student Council President, you don't naively think this student ID can escape the university's surveillance, do you? Since the institution says Private Points can buy anything, I believe they can also buy the records of this video."

"Or perhaps, you want to make a bet with me?"

"No."

Horikita Manabu said in a low voice: "My apologies, I have disturbed you."

"You know when to fold."

With that, Prince Ganlongdao turned and left.

If one thought about it carefully, it was obvious.

Even phones from international manufacturers monitor their devices.

Let alone this university; the probability that the school administration had a backup was not low.

Unless.

One truly believed the nonsense about protecting privacy.

Perhaps no one cared under normal circumstances.

But if they wanted to find it, they would certainly be able to.

But at the very least, this showed.

Prince Ganlongdao truly hadn't intended to use this video to do anything to them.

Thinking about it this way.

Horikita Manabu suddenly felt, why was this guy actually quite forthright?

On the contrary, Horikita Suzune standing beside him was stunned on the spot, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Private Points can buy anything.

What did that mean?

Aside from daily necessities for university life.

Could it be that even backup records of videos could be purchased?

It seemed Chabashira Sae had said something similar before; so that was what it meant!

Horikita Suzune felt as if her train of thought had been unlocked in an instant, and the gaze she cast toward the departing Prince Ganlongdao finally held a hint of gravity; the man before her truly seemed to have some real ability.

Once Prince Ganlongdao disappeared from their field of vision.

Horikita Manabu turned his head back, looking at Horikita Suzune clutching her right abdomen with a hint of reluctance, yet his tone remained extremely cold.

"Suzune, I've said all I have to say. You aren't suited for this university. If you understand, just withdraw on your own."

"..."

Horikita Suzune lowered her head and bit her lip, offering no response.

Looking at his sister like this.

Horikita Manabu also felt helpless.

He knew very well.

This sister of his had never listened to advice since she was young.

As long as it was something Horikita Suzune had decided on, not even nine oxen could pull her back.

Since Horikita Suzune still wanted to stay at this university.

Horikita Manabu didn't have any good way to stop her.

He only hesitated for a moment before secretly warning her:

"Forget it. If you are determined to stay at this university and bring humiliation upon yourself, no one can stop you. But I am warning you, do not get close to that person, Prince Ganlongdao. You are no match for him, do you understand?"

To be honest.

Horikita Manabu truly couldn't quite read him.

He had always been confident in a certain talent: the ability to see through a person's aura at a glance and judge their approximate strength.

It was precisely because of this.

That he had seen a brilliance like an uncut gem in Horikita Suzune.

When he discovered that Horikita Suzune was actually deliberately imitating him, Horikita Manabu felt an indescribable anger—anger at himself.

He felt that he had hindered his sister's growth.

That was why he had specifically chosen to leave.

But now.

Horikita Manabu was stunned to find.

He actually couldn't see through Prince Ganlongdao!

He could only sense that the other party was powerful, possessing exceptional martial prowess and judgment.

However.

Prince Ganlongdao's style of conduct left Horikita Manabu somewhat confused.

At times arrogant and domineering, yet this time, he was so easy to talk to.

It truly left Horikita Manabu unable to understand him.

He could only sense that Prince Ganlongdao was an extremely arrogant person.

And.

Possessed an absurdly high level of self-esteem!

To care more about the attitude others used when speaking to him than about Private Points?

It was truly absurd.

But regardless.

Horikita Manabu knew very well.

His sister, Horikita Suzune, who had yet to mature, was definitely no match for Prince Ganlongdao, which was why he had offered that warning.

Seeing Horikita Suzune lower her head without responding, Horikita Manabu hesitated for a moment before choosing to turn and leave.

A long time passed.

As the sound of footsteps faded into the distance.

Horikita Suzune remained standing where she was, her hands clenched into tight fists.

Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Damn it...

Horikita Suzune's heart was filled with resentment.

Today was another day where she had brought shame upon her brother!

She had even been looked down upon by the brother she revered.

Although Prince Ganlongdao certainly possessed some strength, what right did he have to say she was no match for him?

Over these past three years.

She had also grown significantly!

She was no longer the weak little sister in Horikita Manabu's memories, the one who would only run after her brother.

At least.

That was what Horikita Suzune believed.

For some reason.

The image of Prince Ganlongdao stepping on Horikita Manabu kept playing over and over in her mind.

He hadn't just made Horikita Manabu lose face at the Club Orientation; this time, he had even dared to force her brother to apologize.

How could he possibly think she was no match for Prince Ganlongdao?

A flicker of fire ignited in Horikita Suzune's beautiful eyes.

She made up her mind.

She would definitely teach Prince Ganlongdao a lesson and take revenge for her beloved brother!

However.

She could set that aside for now.

Private Points can buy anything?

Horikita Suzune furrowed her delicate brows.

Though she was unwilling to admit it, she had to concede that Prince Ganlongdao's words had opened up a new line of thinking for her.

If.

Everything Prince Ganlongdao speculated was true.

Beyond the daily necessities at Keyaki Mall, could Private Points also be used to purchase many other things, or perhaps even more intangible things?

For instance...

The test papers for this Midterm Exam, or buying the answers directly?

Thinking of this.

Horikita Suzune raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Her little brain was certainly quick.

She would let Horikita Manabu see.

Who exactly was more outstanding between her and Prince Ganlongdao.

She wouldn't wait until next time.

She would defeat Prince Ganlongdao in this Midterm Exam; tomorrow, she would buy the test papers from Chabashira Sae and have the others memorize them!

She would rise directly to Class C!

And then quickly ascend to Class A to prove herself!
