Evelyn glared at her helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? What person that I care about?"
Annie looked at her puzzlingly, then glanced at Luo Wei who was frozen in place, not daring to move.
"Miss, you went through such trouble to bring him here, even fighting those hunters for it. Don't tell me... you just wanted to bring a student to enjoy the scenery..."
"So what if I did?" Evelyn rolled her eyes.
"Don't try to fool me, I know you too well, Miss," Annie said with a smile.
"Hmph, mind your own business!" Evelyn grew impatient, grabbing Luo Wei's hand, wanting to leave.
"I've left the family already. You're not my housekeeper anymore! Nor do you represent my elders!"
"Let's go!"
Luo Wei was helplessly pulled along by Evelyn, having no way to resist.
Moreover, that woman who had blown up the wizard's head with one punch kept staring at him maliciously, her eyes full of resentment...
What did I do to offend her? Why is this situation so strange?
It's not like I kidnapped your young miss - I'm the one being kidnapped here!
As Annie watched Evelyn about to leave, she gave a cold laugh and suddenly moved.
A pair of pale, cold hands suddenly gripped Luo Wei's throat.
"Annie! What are you doing?"
Evelyn was shocked.
"Let him go!"
Her gaze carried a chill, her tone full of command.
Yet she didn't dare rescue Luo Wei, fearing that fragile neck would be easily snapped by Annie.
"Why is Miss so angry?" Annie looked surprisingly at the young man in her grip, examining him carefully once again.
Luo Wei had no idea about their thoughts; he only felt it extremely difficult to breathe, nearly suffocating.
Although his backup plan was to commit suicide to reload his save, dying from suffocation would be too painful. At this moment, he desperately missed his little revolver...
"Miss, you..." Annie noticed Evelyn's dangerously intense gaze. She was suppressing her anger, her whole body tense like a mother lioness ready to strike.
She truly wanted to attack Annie to save this young man!
Annie gradually loosened her grip, shocked in disbelief.
Was this still the same young miss she knew?
That Evelyn Abraham who had been pampered since birth by the master and madam, that proud daughter of heaven with extraordinary talents yet untameable nature?
"Little Wei, are you alright?"
Evelyn helped Luo Wei up. He waved his hand.
"I'm fine... just need a moment..."
Annie saw deep concern in her eyes, never expecting that the previously difficult-to-please young miss... would show such care for someone...
She looked at the young man clutching his throat and gasping for air, her gaze growing complicated.
"Miss Evelyn..."
Annie wanted to have a private word with Evelyn.
However, seeing Annie approach, Evelyn immediately pulled Luo Wei behind her, her face full of wariness.
Annie could only smile bitterly.
Seeing this situation, she was at a loss for words.
Annie looked at her miss with complex emotions and said earnestly:
"He's just a human. You can play around if you want, but I advise you, don't get too involved..."
"I know what I'm doing." Evelyn averted her eyes, not wanting to meet that elder-like gaze.
Annie continued regardless of whether she was listening:
"Are you planning to do that thing?"
Evelyn paused.
"Even if you do that, he won't be acknowledged. And if the master finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
"You won't be able to roam freely like this anymore. The family will find you and force you to return."
"For your own sake..." Annie glanced at the young man, a mocking smile on her lips, "Even for the sake of your sweet boy here, listen to me, stop being willful."
"My Head Attendant," Evelyn finally couldn't take it anymore, "you're even more nagging than my father..."
Annie looked at her helplessly and sighed again.
"Fine, Miss. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
With that, she turned to leave.
Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief.
As she was about to merge into the darkness, Annie left one final message.
"Miss, I won't tell anyone in the family about today's events, and I hope you'll seriously consider what I've said."
...
In the lower district at night, the moonlight remained hazy.
Luo Wei rubbed his neck, seeing Evelyn still staring in the direction Annie had disappeared, he secretly glanced at his revolver.
The gun had fallen to the ground, not far from him.
That was his only chance for a "perfect" reload.
However, Evelyn seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, turning to smile at Luo Wei and his wandering gaze.
"What, reporting to the police wasn't enough? Now you want to kill your teacher in private?"
Luo Wei smiled bitterly; she had clearly misunderstood him.
The one he wanted to kill... was only himself...
Evelyn bent down to pick up the revolver.
"Oh? Mithril Bullet?"
After opening Luo Wei's gun, she showed a surprised expression.
Then she looked at him with an ambiguous smile.
"Now the evidence is conclusive, right? Little Wei, I never expected you to do this. When did you start suspecting your teacher?"
"From the moment you led me to your office," Luo Wei said.
"That early?" Surprise showed on Evelyn's cheeks.
Thanks to vampire nobility's excellent healing abilities, Evelyn's previously mangled face had grown new fair skin, and now that beautiful face was full of confusion and surprise.
"But the Saint Callen Police Department hadn't even come knocking yet... you already knew I was the culprit??"
Evelyn poked Luo Wei's face, "You're lying to your teacher again, aren't you? How could you be that clever? Are you a detective or something?"
Luo Wei thought to himself, I am actually half a detective... Isn't an investigator of mysterious events somewhat in the same line of work?
He silently looked at Evelyn, "I'm telling the truth. After experiencing what happened to me and my sister, if I still completely trusted any woman who got close to me intimately, I'm afraid my head wouldn't be filled with brains, but with soy milk..."
"Soy milk..." Evelyn paused, "What's that?"
"A beverage made from ground beans, rich in protein," Luo Wei explained seriously.
"Huh?"
Evelyn looked at Luo Wei, "Is it tasty?"
"Yes," Luo Wei nodded.
"Then would you like your teacher to make some for you in the future?" she asked.
"Hmm?"
Evelyn's lips slowly curled into a smile as her hand struck heavily at the back of Luo Wei's head.
Luo Wei's vision went black, and he instantly passed out.
