Chapter 396: Fifty Predator and Predator (6K)_4
Hewinia nodded gently, and then her body uncontrollably began to tremble again, “Professor Arianna, Daphne, they actually, actually…”
Tears fell timely, wetting the list.
“Sob…why, why would that person do such a thing, why…”
Seeing that Hewinia’s emotions were somewhat out of control, Gucci looked up at Adelle behind her.
Adelle nodded, and then stepped forward to gently pat Hewinia’s shoulder in comfort.
“Okay, that’s enough for now, Miss Hewinia,” Gucci said, somewhat distressingly pinching the bridge of his nose, “I know these things are hard to accept, but since they’ve already happened, we must confront them. Don’t worry, we will catch that guy for sure, and as for you… you still have to work hard for the festival, don’t you?”
Hewinia was already crying inconsolably, unable to even respond.
Gucci could only have Adelle take Hewinia away first, to let her return to her dormitory to rest.
But before they had taken two steps, Phinis caught up with them.
“Miss Hewinia, please wait.”
Hewinia stopped and turned to look at Phinis.
“I know it’s not appropriate to say this at this time,” Phinis’s usual bravado had vanished, and now his voice was unusually deep, “but there is something I need to confirm in advance, Miss Hewinia, are you still willing to stay with the Lawrence Family’s band?”
Hewinia immediately understood what Phinis meant.
Tupac and Orenna were dead; now the band only had her and Phinis as the Golden Notes, naturally no longer the favorites to win as before.
In this case, Phinis naturally worried Hewinia would also leave the band at this time.
So he had no choice but to come and stabilize Hewinia in such a precarious situation, because if Hewinia also left, then the Lawrence Family would have no hope at all in this festival.
“Of course, Mr. Phinis,” Hewinia said between sobs, “since I promised you, I wouldn’t leave easily.”
Phinis showed a look of surprise.
Apparently, he had been prepared for Hewinia to ask for a raise in her compensation at the last minute, but he did not expect Hewinia to be so… loyal?
So Phinis gave Hewinia a deep bow across his chest, “Miss Hewinia, the Lawrence Family will not forget your kindness. We will also ensure your safety at all costs, and tomorrow morning, we will take you away.”
“To the Second Academy?”
“No,” Phinis shook his head, “Tupac is gone, there’s no point in going to the Second Academy anymore, go directly to the First Academy, to the feet of the Lord.”
After talking with Phinis, Hewinia was taken back to her room by Adelle.
“Thank you, Professor Adelle.”
Adelle nodded her head, left a word of advice to “rest more,” and then left.
And in the moment Adelle left, Hewinia, who had been tear-stained just a second before, suddenly returned to normal, showing not a trace of sorrow.
“The First Academy,” Hewinia said softly, “finally it’s time to go there.”
The place in all of Holy Sound closest to the Holy Sound Master, and also the final venue for the festival.
She could finally go there and temporarily escape from that dangerous person.
Hewinia’s brows furrowed slightly; she turned her head to look out the window at the Three Colleges she had stayed at for a year.
She always felt as if she had forgotten something.
