A Mysterious Opponent / Using Someone Else to Do the Killing

This man was the one Elisa mentioned, the one who would have become the school's principal if it weren't for her arrival.

"Then... Vice Dean Terry... why are you stopping me at the main gate?"

"Were the people who were following Elisa yesterday sent by you?!"

Suika stepped on his chest, causing Terry was about to sit up, to fall back to the ground.

"You know I arranged for people to follow her, but do you know where they are?" Suika 'Terry words confused Suika.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Didn't those two guys go to the school?"

"I know they went into the school, but they should have come to me last night to report on Elisa's outing. But they didn't come, and when I went to look for them, they weren't in the house..."

After Terry finished speaking, Suika frowned.

"Is the place you're talking about room XX on the first floor of the staff dormitory?" Suika told them the room the two of them had entered.

"That's right, how do you know? Where are they?"

Terry was stunned for a moment after hearing Suika's words, then asked in return.

Suika narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that this matter was becoming increasingly strange. She clearly witnessed the two entering the house with her clone and observed them for at least half an hour, only canceling the spell after confirming that the two were preparing to monitor Elisa there.

But right after he canceled his spell, the two people mysteriously disappeared.

Chapter 226 The Mysterious Opponent

Suika, sensing something strange about the whole situation, looked at the man.

Although it was incredibly embarrassing to be stepped on by a little girl, and the surrounding students were pointing and whispering, under the threat of death, Vice Dean Terry honestly explained why he had arranged for someone to follow Elisa.

It turns out he had always been dissatisfied with the Duke Kestrel's actions.

In his view, he had worked diligently for so many years and only became the principal of the school last year. Before he could even make a name for himself, the Duke Kestrel an order to restructure the school, turning it from an ordinary local university into a branch campus that jointly taught with the Londinium Academy of Sciences Affiliated University.

He was demoted from principal to vice principal.

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to him, who had worked his way up to this position after half a lifetime of struggle.

He found it even more unacceptable when he learned that Elisa, who had been parachuted in from Londinium, was only in her twenties.

All his efforts seemed like a joke in front of Elisa.

However, he was not without options.

Having been through so much in his career, he naturally knew that as long as Elisa had a scandal, and he fanned the flames behind the scenes to make things bigger, even if the Duke Kestrel was willing to protect her, she would not be able to continue sitting in the position of headmaster.

Aside from Elisa, who was from out of town, he was the only one who could become the principal.

That's why he arranged for someone to follow Elisa, in order to catch her in a scandal, especially after learning that two of her male students had gone out with a large amount of money and had not returned, and that she had left the school after receiving a mysterious letter.

He thought Elisa was going to find students to play the "one phoenix, two dragons" game, but unexpectedly, it was Suika showed up in the end.

Even if Suika were a man, he would have found a way to take advantage of the situation, but Suika's appearance and clothing are both female, which rendered his previous plans futile.

He was furious, and he also felt that Suika should know where the two male students who left with the money went, so he brought people to ambush Suika.

Just as Terry was being pressured to reveal his plans, the school guards, who had received news of a fight at the school gate, arrived at the scene.

Seeing their colleagues lying on the ground in a sorry state, the guards hesitated, unsure whether they should go and rescue Vice Dean Terry.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

What are you all doing gathered here?!

Suika was startled when she heard the sound, and then she saw a hand grab her arm.

"Come with me... time is almost up."

Suika didn't say anything, but calmly followed after him with her backpack on.

Didn't I tell you to stay inside and not come out?

Suddenly, Suika spoke up.

The figure in front paused.

"The other party changed the time, moving it forward by half an hour. So we're running out of time."

I was planning to come out and tell you before going back, but then I saw what happened outside...

"Here, I've called a car!"

Elisa and Suika got into a car parked not far away.

After getting into the car, Suika had remained silent, suddenly spoke up after the car drove out of the city.

"We're leaving in such a hurry, what about the money?"

Hearing Suika's words, Elisa in the car was stunned. She looked at Suika's handbag.

"Money isn't... damn it!"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Suika's mischievous gaze and knew she had been exposed. She quickly flipped out of the car window.

Watching the person disappear into the woods with a few leaps, Suika looked at the driver.

The driver looked completely dumbfounded.

"Madam... what's the fare...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a small knife appeared next to his neck.

"I don't know anything. That lady just told me to drive there and wait for her, and then she'd take you to an abandoned factory ten kilometers outside the city..."

Seeing Suika's kind expression, the driver quickly spoke up.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's continue!"

Suika raised an eyebrow, leaned back in her chair, and put the knife away into her backpack.

The driver dared not speak and continued driving in that direction with trepidation.

"Ring ring..." A pleasant sound came from Suika's handbag.

Under the driver's watchful eye, she opened her backpack and took out her phone.

"Crooked!"

"Suika, are you alright?" Elisa's voice came through the phone.

"Everything's fine! Did something happen?" Suika asked calmly.

"Someone just came back pretending to be you... I almost believed them, thankfully Shanghai discovered something was wrong..."

Elisa sounded extremely flustered on the other end of the phone.

"What's the purpose of that mannequin?"

"Um, she asked for the address to collect the money..."

"Yes, I clearly told you where to get the money before you left, how could you ask again..."

Elisa said, suddenly realizing.

Suika looked up at the driver. "Then you should ask your subordinate if the money was taken... because I didn't go to withdraw the money!"

"Huh?" Elisa on the other end of the phone was momentarily stunned.

"Something happened that caused me to leave the city without withdrawing the money..."

Since that person impersonated me to deceive you, they will definitely use my appearance to withdraw money as well. You should ask them quickly if the money is still there.

After hearing what Suika said, Elisa quickly hung up the phone and started making arrangements.

But in those few short minutes, the money had already been taken by another Suika.

Suika comforted herself after hearing that Elisa had called again.

"It's alright. Even if we don't have the money, as long as Peter Parker is alive, I promise to bring them back."

After hanging up the phone Suika looked ahead, and the old factory buildings came into view.

"Let's pull over here!"

Suika spoke up.

After the car stopped, Suika didn't get out but looked at the driver.

"Is Theresis desperate for money?"

Or do the Shapeshifter need this money?

Kazdel wouldn't be interested in such a trivial matter, would he?

The driver looked puzzled upon hearing Suika's words.

"Come on, stop pretending... You smell exactly like that guy who jumped out the window."

The Shapeshifter's abilities are indeed powerful...

"If I hadn't noticed something was off about the guy who jumped out the window right away, I would never have guessed you guys were together."

Suika knew perfectly well that there had only been one Shapeshifter from beginning to end, but she couldn't show it now.

Upon hearing Suika's words, the driver transformed into her appearance.

"I didn't expect that besides the Sarkaz, there would be someone else who could recognize me... It seems you're no ordinary person either."

"Hey, don't make yourself sound so bad. Not many Sarkaz would recognize you."

However, aside from the most mysterious Shapeshifter in the Ten Royal Court, I really don't know anyone else who can perfectly transform into someone else's appearance in such a short time Originium Arts.

Suika didn't feel scared or uncomfortable when the Shapeshifter transformed into her appearance; instead, she looked on with admiration.

Chapter 227 Using a Borrowed Knife to Kill

"Could you tell me where I went wrong? Was it just the smell?"

I've absorbed the driver's memories, and even in front of his family, I'm confident they won't be able to tell whether I'm real or not!

The Shapeshifter looked at Suika with some confusion.

"You acted well as a driver, and you also acted convincingly as an ordinary person, but your acting was only superficial."

There's no emotion in your eyes...

You might be able to put on an act in front of his family, but once you leave the environment of your memories and switch back to your true self, your eyes will constantly reveal indifference and arrogance.

It's normal for a high-ranking general or leader to have that kind of look in their eyes.

But you're just an ordinary driver.

Suika stopped talking after she finished speaking.

"Since I'm being so sincere, why don't you tell me, as one of the Ten Royal Court and the most feared Shapeshifter among the Terra nations, what brings you to the northwestern border of Victoria, far from Kazdel?"

And what exactly does Elisa possess that warrants your personal trip?

After hearing what Suika said, the Shapeshifter shook his head.

"... nothing, and nothing at all..."

After saying that, he disappeared from Suika's sight.

Suika frowned as she watched the Shapeshifter disappear inexplicably before her eyes.

"What is it?"

It's impossible for a Shapeshifter Collective to go to such lengths to play with little kids here. There must be something in Elisa's hands that has attracted the Shapeshifter's attention, otherwise they wouldn't have come here to play house with her.

Thinking of this, Suika called Elisa again, telling her to be careful and not to let Shanghai leave her side.

After doing all this, she looked at the factory buildings not far away.

At that moment, a dilapidated carriage did indeed enter the factory. Besides a dozen or so burly men carrying weapons and driving the carriage, two men were tied up in the carriage.

These two people were Elisa's two assistants.

The two looked extremely disheveled, which made Suika even more puzzled.

After all, logically speaking, how could Shapeshifter possibly spare the lives of these two insignificant people?

Suika's eyes narrowed involuntarily. Could it be that the damn Shapeshifter was still lying?

I just pointed out his weakness, and this guy isn't willing to give up and immediately come back to win again?
