“Come with me the; we’ll talk after meeting with Headmistress Perry,” Jessie said.
“Free her, she’s not going to run away!” Mo Fan said.
“No way!” Jessie insisted.
“Mo Fan, forget it. I believe they must have a valid reason to confine me,” Li Yu’e shook her head, signaling Mo Fan not to have a conflict with the patrolling Magas.
Mo Fan was infuriated seeing Li Yu’e being taken away like a criminal. Were most women at this Alps Institute nothing but idiots? Li Yu’e was just a Psychic Mage. She might not even be stronger than the girl called Amelia, how could she possibly murder her? Not to mention the impossible task of killing more than a thousand little creatures on the mountain!
Mo Fan had to go with them. The girl had suffered serious injuries in New York. She endured so much pain, and was almost murdered by Philip because of him. He had always been guilty about it, so there was no way he could just sit back and watch now that she was being wrongly accused!
——
When they reached Faerun Castle, Mo Fan noticed that Ceylan and Brianca were not around. Headmistress Perry was sitting on a square rattan chair, staring at Li Yu’e, who was being escorted like a prisoner to her.
Li Yu’e stood there quietly. Her temperament did not shift even when she was being treated like a suspect.
“Envy is truly a terrifying thing. It can rot a person’s heart and control their mind and soul,” Headmistress Perry said to Li Yu’e.
Li Yu’e looked at her without refuting it.
“Headmistress Perry, can you please tell me why you suspect her of being the culprit?” Mo Fan seriously had no idea what was going on.
“It’s none of your business. As a student that has come to our school on exchange, your job is to focus on your studies. The Alps Institute will worry about how to deal with the culprit,” Headmistress Perry said imperiously.
“She’s my friend. How is it none of my business!?” Mo Fan was enraged.
Was this Headmistress Perry brainless, too? She had accused Li Yu’e without any evidence. Was she thinking of making an innocent person the scapegoat to settle the incident?
“You may leave now,” Headmistress Perry said coldly.
“No way!” Mo Fan did not leave. He stood in front of Li Yu’e.
“You might have dominated the World College Tournament, but don’t you forget that you’re nothing to me!” Headmistress Perry suddenly rose to her feet. Her aura rose tremendously!
Mo Fan felt like Headmistress Perry’s figure had suddenly enlarged significantly, crashing onto him like an enormous mountain. He could feel himself trembling. He was struggling to stand straight under the great pressure!
Mo Fan did not think Headmistress Perry would pressure him with her aura. The pressure was even more terrifying than the force of Faerun Waterfall. His legs were shaking so much that he was about to drop to his knees on the ground…
Mo Fan clenched his teeth, forcing him to remain standing. He glared at the unreasonable Headmistress Perry.
Mo Fan had already felt like this Headmistress Perry was far from a good person when he and Brianca told her about the dead bodies on the mountain. The woman was a typical authoritarian without a conscience. She did not really care about the people under her. Her mind was fully occupied with the Casas!
“Mo Fan, just go, the Alps Institute is known for being just. They won’t hurt me,” Li Yu’e blurted out. She panicked a little when he saw Mo Fan struggling to breathe properly under the great pressure.
“She only joined the school a year ago. We don’t know her background and what she’s after. Besides, we also found traces of Amelia’s blood on her. That alone is enough evidence to prove she’s guilty. You are just a student, don’t you dare think you can challenge my authority as the headmistress of the Alps Institute, nor can you question my judgment! If you continue to ignore the rules of the Alps Institute and disrespect us, I shall teach you some manners on behalf of the elders of the Pearl Institute!” Headmistress Perry grunted. Her voice was like a strong hammer blow in Mo Fan’s mind, making him feel dizzy.
“Headmistress Perry, he’s just asking for an explanation. There’s no need to go this far…” a teacher spoke up.
Mo Fan kept holding his ground. He did not back off despite the pressure that Headmistress Perry was applying to him. However, he was already struggling to speak properly.
“The evidence is definite, and the motive is clear. I have always been fair and just, I have never falsely accused anyone! Li Yu’e, your sleeve is stained with Amelia’s blood. She must have been begging you to spare her life prior to her death, but you didn’t. You brushed her hand away and killed her in such a brutal way, but the blood that was left on your sleeves has allowed us to see who you truly are!” Headmistress Perry said angrily.
Li Yu’e slowly raised her hand. She stared at a dark blood mark on her sleeve.
She had no idea when her sleeve was stained with the blood…
“You thought your plan was perfect, but you didn’t expect our school has a blood-tracking magic artifact. It can track anything that was stained with fresh blood, even if you’ve already washed it off. No one can get away after committing such an unforgivable crime at the Alps Institute! You will be punished accordingly!” Headmistress Perry declared, pointing at Li Yu’e.
Li Yu’e looked back at Headmistress Perry, not avoiding the woman’s gaze.
She did not explain herself, not even a single word. She knew from Headmistress Perry’s attitude that no matter what she said, the woman would still heap the accusations on her. The cunning woman might even use whatever she said against her!
It was meaningless to explain herself when the interrogation was already biased!
“So this is the Alps Institute! Acting unreasonably, forcing an innocent person to be the scapegoat to settle an incident, while the headmistress abuses her power to force an exchange student to submit to her will!” Mo Fan’s eyes flickered with anger.
He was struggling to breathe and speak from the pressure, yet it did not necessarily mean he was going to give up!
“Silence!” Headmistress Perry was enraged. She did not think the kid would still be able to speak and stand still after she fully unleashed her aura!
“You are the one that should shut your mouth up, you old hag whose mouth is full of shit!” Mo Fan cursed at her.
“Mo Fan…” Li Yu’e saw blue veins surfacing on Mo Fan’s body from the pressure he was under. She could also hear his bones cracking.
“I wasn’t able to protect you in New York, and you were seriously injured because of it. This time, I won’t let them harm you. You have my word!” Mo Fan promised Li Yu’e firmly.
Li Yu’e looked at him, a little dazed.
She had been alone for so many years. It was her first time being protected by someone with no ulterior motives. Her heart was filled with a warm feeling…
