Team villains except me

Chapter 537 Good News

The night after the snow was bright. The almost orange sky embraced the sharp wind as hard as a steel knife.

Nolvia exhaled white steam. She was not wearing much, and the only thing she had to keep warm was her silence.

The ones who stayed in the Hall of Fame to guard Teacher Mattia tonight were Morga and Gilan. They looked extremely old, as if all their energy and spirit had dissipated.

But they insisted that they did not need company. Gilan asked Dooku to go to Titag to see Natalie.

Duku went to Titig that afternoon. He had just sent a photo of him and Natalie having dinner together. Natalie's nose was red from crying, and her eyes were swollen like lightbulbs. There were scattered bottles of wine, and in the corner of the photo, there were shortbread cookies piled up like a Christmas tree.

Irene and Elliott could not accept the death of Mattia.

Now, Irene had returned to Ruyou, and Elliott was with Sana. Elliott had been working with Zhuyi to take over Mattia's duties—as if that would maintain the illusion that Mattia was still alive. Many people still didn't know Mattia was dead, and Julia was suppressing the news quickly.

When they first presented the gift to Matija, Elliott and Zhu'e were the ones most disliked it. Elliott enjoyed watching things deteriorate, while Zhu'e found such a boring activity tedious. Maintaining peace and ending war held no meaning for Elliott and Zhu'e.

Mattia doesn't want them to do that. If she were alive, she would say, "This isn't your responsibility. I want you little buds to live your lives the way you want."

That was what happened to Matija. But Matija died. She couldn't see this scene that made her feel both relieved and heartbroken, and Ellit and Zhue refused to admit that this was for Matija's sake.

“Just to make myself feel better,” was their excuse.

In the evening, Elliott was tricked into arriving at the house he and Irene had rented for Sana in Kikora. Sana claimed she had suddenly lost her sight and that she had broken two bones. Elliott initially refused to believe her, but Sana was clever. She simply said she felt no pain and didn't need Elliott to come back, her words concealing the pain so well that it seemed like she was being brave.

When Elliott returned to Shanna's place, he saw steaming steak and Shanna, who was unharmed.

On the other side, Zhu Yi returned to Garcia's house.

Snow covered the scene in the garden, and Garcia was sitting at the doorway, his hair a little longer.

He seemed to have foreseen the appearance of Zhu Si.

"Master Zhuyi, I received a notice from the academy. I... I'm very sorry."

"What are you sorry for? What does it have to do with you?"

"When my grandfather passed away, I was very sad. I felt that I hadn't made him proud of me. I hadn't accomplished anything. But Lady Zhuyi, you are different. You are very powerful. I think Ms. Matija must..."

proud of you.

Garcia swallowed the last words because he saw Zhu's expression turned very bad.

He looked at Zhue cautiously.

"Master Zhu, I made dinner and it's still hot."

……

Irene had dinner in the Ruyou Palace.

This is a dinner for two gray wolves.

The crystal chandeliers in the palace sparkled brightly. Brahin was deeply moved by Irene's return. He talked tirelessly about Ruyou's recent changes in high spirits.

Irene stared at him, no smile on her face.

Brahin was unaware of Irene's abnormality. He talked about the changes he had made, hoping to start over with Irene.

"...If your mother knew, she would be happy too."

Brahim didn't think his words were ridiculous, but Irene did. She hadn't come back here to have a dinner with her father that she couldn't taste.

But at this moment, she felt even more strange.

Why could a teacher who had no blood relationship with her give her so much love, while her biological father allowed her to be bullied? Even now, Brahin was still moved by himself. He had not been cut off from the source of information. As the king of Ruyou, he still had the right to know the important news of the Beast Warrior's death.

Brahim had been trying to get to know her, using the excuse of "wanting to understand you." He should have known how much Mattia meant to her. But he still arrogantly believed that those people didn't count as her family. So when she returned to the palace dejected, Brahim flaunted his family credentials. He made light of Mattia's death, even feeling a little secretly delighted.

Irene clutched her heart and spat out the stewed peas in her mouth.

That was what Brahim had just put on her plate.

Emerald green. Looks very fresh.

She doesn't like it. Never has.

"Don't show up in public. Brahin, I don't have time to wait for you to do anything. I'm taking full control of Luyou. The formal ceremony will be put aside for later. Right now, I want your full authority."

Irene's voice was very clear, echoing in the palace and spreading out in circles like ripples.

This would be the last meal she and Brahim would have.

After becoming a lord, she realized she couldn't keep her promise to Brahim. There could only be one king, and as long as Brahim was alive, he could threaten her position and be encouraged to do the wrong thing. He was not a clear-headed wolf.

The day she becomes king, Brahim will disappear from this world.

Irene wiped her mouth with her handkerchief.

"Brahim, Mother would be proud of me. So would Mama."

Irene placed Brahin under house arrest.

She had many important things to do. She didn't want any more accidents like this to happen. She already had very little, and she wouldn't allow any more happiness to slip through her fingers.

Before, when she felt happy, she would panic that something bad would happen. When something bad happened, she felt that she was not happy enough to have to go through such a tragedy.

Irene stood at the highest point of the palace, the cold wind ruffling her furry ears as she looked at her wolf paws, her head raised calmly.

——Beast God, does my existence disgust you so much?

If so, be prepared.

---

Sosa was unprepared for such a turn of events. He had only recently become king, and he didn't know much about the secrets of other continents. He found it hard to imagine a Beast Warrior dying so tragically at such a young age.

He didn't know the real cause of Matija's death, but he learned a lot about the rumors about other continents from Wools.

He felt that Huett was really crazy to a certain extent.

Huett himself and his teammates were all related to the disasters on the three continents. He was really glad that Huett did not have teammates from the eastern continent, otherwise he would really expel Huett from the royal family.

How long could he protect Huett? He felt that Huett would eventually cause trouble that would pierce the sky. After all, Huett's friends were not honest people. But Wools would never allow a dangerous factor to be in the royal family, unless...

Unless Huett is so important that even Wools dares not act rashly. Unless Huett and Remiaz's development are closely related and irreplaceable.

Sousa twirled his pen, and as usual, he acted pitifully and dragged Huet back to the palace of Remiaz.

"...Brother, life must go on. Please relieve your sorrow with busy work. As a prince, it is not allowed to not serve the country."

Sosa said, dodging the documents thrown by Huet.

-

On the other side of the world, Fianna signs documents in Philippi.

She established the "Mattia Foundation." She knew how to make people remembered, and she hoped that all lives like Mattia could receive this gift in times of hardship, just as Mattia did for them.

Hazi also returned to Rose Mansion and hesitated in front of Fiona's door, holding an unfinished book in his hand.

Fiana's Observation Diary.

He wasn't a good writer. He wasn't as gifted as Afanasya, his language was poor, and his imagination was lacking. When he first proposed this writing project to Afanasya and Psyche, he simply wanted to record all the happy moments. So that when they were old and toothless, they could still relive those joys while flipping through the pages of a book.

Now, he wanted to imitate Fianna, to make her be remembered forever, not as the iron-blooded Rose Duke, not as a murderous monster, not as a slandered and ostracized criminal who killed the king for power.

The outside world has many misunderstandings about Fiana, but Fiana disdains to explain. Her tough approach has almost made her a synonym for brutality.

But he knew the real Fiana. How could Afanasya and Seko's child be bullied like this? As an elder, how could he do nothing and just wait to be protected?

He wanted to publish his "Fiana Observation Diary" on all continents. He wanted to restore Fiana's reputation. He asked Matija to write a recommendation.

Matija calls Fiana "my strong and great student."

Hazi circled Fianna's door, but ultimately chose not to knock. He couldn't add to the grief. Guilt now mingled with his intense emotions, a haunting feeling that haunted him for years. Only now could he examine his memories of Philippi in peace and without a trace of guilt.

When he finished writing the book and published it, Fiana would naturally be able to see it.

When Ha Zi walked into the living room, he saw Oqifu and asked him if the children would be back today. Oqifu shook his head and took out a few bottles of good wine.

"My lady probably won't sleep tonight. The others might come home sometime. Ha Zi, have a couple of drinks."

Ha Zi didn't refuse. When he finished his third cup, he raised his head and murmured.

"...Why is there no moon tonight?"

……

Norvia didn't notice Yueyue's presence or absence. She had been in Abersgard, handling the academy affairs that Julia had assigned to her.

The trivial and messy college affairs left her no time to think more. She shuttled between the teaching buildings, leaving behind those hesitant eyes that wanted to say something.

In the college news, she saw "Honorary Professor Obu, missing."

Nolvia suddenly felt a chill creeping into her bones. Accident after accident eroded her sense of security, and she felt she was being tortured by the world's malice—but that wasn't necessarily the case. If the gods hoped she could save this patched-up world, they would do their utmost to protect those she cared about.

There was a reasonable explanation. Her teachers were important figures in this world. Their chances of falling into danger were higher than those of ordinary people, and their responsibilities were heavier.

Teacher Matija died while protecting the southern continent, and Teacher Valerio fell into a coma due to a wave of alien beasts appearing in the northern continent. As the chairman and agent of the Star God, he naturally wanted to investigate. And Teacher Oub, as Hector's son, would protect his and Hector's family. It was perfectly natural for him to want to resolve the troubles that arose in his father's jurisdiction.

Norvia felt pain precisely because she had a valid reason.

In a place where beast warriors like Matija have perished, the analyst and potion master, Oub, has disappeared. Is he still alive? What are the chances? Will the potion work against those humanoid monsters?

The worst outcome... if Mr. Obu was devoured by those monsters, then those monsters would have a genius analyst.

Norvia couldn't even think any further.

Teacher Abel also learned the news, and Yalinxiu has been accompanying Teacher Abel.

Norvia didn't know if Yalinxiu could accept this series of changes. She knew that Yalinxiu was growing in ways she couldn't imagine, and that Yalinxiu was doing well at Lanier. It was like a combination of them.

Nolvia took time out of her busy schedule to hire a psychological therapist for Yalinxiu.

After finishing work, Nolvia went to get the diagnosis from the psychotherapist.

Yalinxiu is fine.

Is this result normal?

The wind got stronger.

Nolvia walked towards Teacher Abel's office.

The disappearance of Mr. Obu weighed heavily on everyone's heart, but it wasn't public knowledge. Mr. Abel reached this conclusion after being unable to contact Mr. Obu and asking around. Yalinxiu said Mr. Abel wasn't in good condition.

Tonight, Nolvia plans to bring Yalinxiu to accompany Teacher Abel.

At this point, Norvia calmed down. What further troubles and disasters lay ahead? Once she had gathered enough fragments, she would confront the gods head-on.

Since death was an inevitable outcome, she had no reason to endure it until she reached the end.

Norvia's communicator rang.

It must be Julia.

It was late, and even if she still had work to do, she wouldn't continue. The agreement she had signed with the academy didn't require her to miss out on meals or sleep.

Not work news.

Nolvia looked at the not-so-long line of words, and her body gradually grew warm.

What can keep out the cold is the news about Teacher Obu.

[Julia: Professor Orb has been found, and he's still alive.]
