Chapter 388 A Gift for The Girls
Stay connected via empire
After a long ride of about an hour, Nox and Wendy eventually arrived back at the academy. It was already night, and dark clouds had gathered, indicating that an intense downpour was moments away.
Even the air was extremely chilly and cool.
"Come, let's go meet with the others. I have something for you guys," Nox said to Wendy as soon as they stepped out of the carriage.
"What is it?" Wendy furrowed her brows. But Nox didn't answer and simply pulled her hand as the duo headed to the Alpha dormitory.
"Hah, shameless bastard. It hasn't even been a full semester, and he's openly showing his relationship with Instructor Wendy!" a student voiced out, his tone filled with disdain and jealousy.
"This is clearly an abuse of power as the rank-one student," another spat out, his tone equally venomous.
A much more reasonable voice sounded not far from the group of students. "Well, he's not to be blamed. Not only is he powerful, but he was also blessed with an exceptionally handsome face. I envy him. If I had even a tiny fragment of his handsomeness, my life would've been much better."
The atmosphere in that area became extremely depressing as the others heard this.
Just as the group of students gossiped about the rank-one student, in a two-story medieval European-style building, two individuals stood on a balcony, glancing below.
Their eyes, however, were not fixed on the gossiping students. Instead, their piercing glares were focused on the backs of Wendy and Nox.
"So that's the brother of the one you want to get rid of, huh?" Brandon asked, his blue eyes glinting. His gaze lingered a moment longer on Nox before he glanced at Ainsworth, whose eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched, and veins throbbing on his forehead.
"Yes, he's the one," Ainsworth said through gritted teeth, his voice sounding more like a growl.
Brandon didn't respond immediately. His expression seemed like that of someone deep in thought.
I thought the Silver family would have dealt with him. How is he still alive? Brandon narrowed his eyes. He had been away from the academy for weeks, completing an A-rank mission for the Adventure Guild.
He had only returned today and heard about the new batch of students. However, among them was one person he did not expect to see.
Nox.
Though five years had already passed, Brandon could still vividly remember how Nox and his pets had claimed the Elemental Crystal back at Snowhelm.
If he's still alive, then that means... that means my secrets could be exposed. Brandon's mind churned.
"Uncle, what do we do?" Ainsworth's voice, along with the cold evening breeze, snapped Brandon out of his inner dilemma.
"What do you want again?" he asked calmly, his eyes flashing like lightning in a stormy night.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I..." Ainsworth bit his lip and clenched his fists. He thought back to his fierce encounter with Nyx at the Vermilion Royal Castle—the disrespect, the humiliation he had suffered not once but twice at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony and the Entrance Exam.
Moments later, he exhaled and said slowly, as if drawing emphasis on each word, "I... want... you... to... get... rid... of... her... brother."
"Why get rid of her brother when you can go for her directly?" Brandon tilted his head to the side and asked in confusion.
"Because that Nyx girl loves her brother a lot," Ainsworth replied, his eyes gleaming with a wicked light. "I can see it in her eyes. The best way to hurt her is to get rid of her twin. Then, when she's at her lowest, I'll strike her."
Ainsworth paused and then added, "Of course, after taking my sweet time with her."
"Consider it done, then," Brandon responded without hesitation, his voice confident and determined. "After all, I need to get rid of him to cover some loopholes as well. The last thing I want is for my secrets to come back and bite me."
"What loopholes are you talking about?" Ainsworth asked, confused. What was his uncle referring to?
Under Ainsworth's confused gaze, Brandon began to walk away. But just as his back disappeared, he said:
"Don't worry. I already have the perfect plan to get rid of him."

"You got me an item?" Serena asked, her beautiful chocolate eyes glinting with both surprise and happiness.
"Yes," Nox nodded.
Is Serena becoming more attractive in my eyes, or is something wrong with me? Nox secretly thought. Her beauty was beginning to rival Nyx's. Was it because she was becoming more mature?
"What did you get me?" Nyx asked, her voice indifferent as always.
They were currently seated at a table in the academy cafeteria. The cafeteria was huge, with marble floors and luxurious chandeliers hanging in the air, casting a warm light. A gentle breeze flowed in through the arched windows, grazing the skin of those present. The atmosphere was serene yet lively, filled with the chatter of students enjoying their meals. Nox's table, however, was the center of attention, as usual.
I mean, why wouldn't it be when he was the only guy at a table with three drop-dead beauties with extremely hot bodies?
Nox leaned back in his chair, his demeanor calm and confident. He reached into his spatial ring, pulled out three wrapped packages, and placed them on the table. "I figured you'd both appreciate these," he said, sliding two of the packages toward Serena and Nyx.
The third package was set aside for Wendy, who had excused herself momentarily to address some academy matters. A moment later, Wendy returned, and Nox handed her the last item.
"Go ahead, unwrap it," Nox urged with a smile on his face.
