The next day, the news of an earthquake in Wangjiao really caused a stir.
Some people said that it was a giant beast, some said that it was a meteor falling from the sky, and all kinds of rumors were spread.
However, there is no news about that underground space.
Wayne was a little confused.
Didn't Earl Chapman realize something was wrong? Or is he planning to keep this shady news hidden?
Even though he suffered such a huge loss, he didn't jump out to investigate. Isn't it a little too arrogant?
According to his original idea, it would be best to use the account book in his hand as evidence to ask Franz Edgeworth to come forward to expose the matter, so as to draw a clear line between him and Earl Chapman.
I believe that with Minister Franz's intelligence, he will clearly understand that the entire family cannot be tied to a sinking ship.
As long as he realizes the stakes, he will be more eager than anyone else to nail Earl Chapman directly to avoid being bitten by him.
However, not only did Song Li disapprove of his meeting with Minister Franz, he even tore up the evidence about the Edgeworth family.
In this way, I would probably not be able to force Franz to jump out and fight Chapman, and I would not be able to make him make up his mind to break away from those people who are blindly seeking death.
If those people come to him to help exonerate themselves in the future, as long as they don't expose the Edgeworth family, maybe he will continue to get involved with those people.
Damn it, can't this cheap father-in-law be more honest?
He is involved in every messy business in the capital. No wonder the wealth of the Edgeworth family has skyrocketed in his hands.
The more Wayne thought about it, the angrier he became, and he hammered the leaves hanging in the air bitterly.
"Crack!" There was a sound.
A branch about the thickness of a finger was accidentally broken by him.
"..." Wayne looked around for a while and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He quickly bent down, picked it up and threw it into the trash can to "destroy the body and eliminate traces."
He decided to revisit his old place today to find out more about what was going on.
However--
"Classmate Wayne?"
Tasia's voice came from behind, startling Wayne.
"Ah?" He turned around suddenly and saw a girl with flaxen hair, neatly dressed in school uniform, and a simple hairpin on her forehead.
Tasia's hair seems to have grown a lot longer. It used to be just above her shoulders, but now it can be spread down her back.
"It turns out to be Tasia..." Wayne said sarcastically, "When did she appear?"
"I've been here since the beginning." She said with disapproval, "Classmate Wayne, breaking branches randomly is a very bad behavior."
Wayne also wanted to make a quibble: "I heard that pruning the remaining branches can allow the tree to concentrate its nutrients on the main trunk, allowing it to grow healthier..."
But in her eyes that were so clear that there seemed to be no distracting thoughts, Wayne soon could no longer argue.
"Ahem...Sorry, I was just careless," he said.
"You shouldn't apologize to me." She said seriously. "If you want to apologize, you should apologize to the person involved... no, the person involved."
Upon hearing this, Wayne immediately turned around and bowed to the big tree.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Dashu! I accidentally broke your branch, I hope you can forgive me!" he said loudly.
Tasia was dumbfounded by his obedient (/without moral integrity) behavior, and shook her head helplessly.
"Classmate Wayne...it would be nice if I could be more sincere."
She seemed to really feel this way.
...How can you tell that I am not sincere?
Wayne gave up the argument and changed the subject. "Has Tasia attended student union activities recently? It seems that the student union has never been able to elect a new president."
With Darcy's whereabouts unknown, the student union's presence has plummeted, and there has been no news of any decent activities. Now it is almost disbanded.
Upon hearing his question, Tasia's expression froze.
Noticing that her expression was wrong, Wayne realized something and quickly declared: "Ah, although I am now the acting president of the Lily Club, I was already a good friend of Tasia before that. oh?"
"I'm not going to get in trouble with the student union for those ridiculous ideas."
As long as I am willing to organize team-building activities for everyone in the Lily Club from time to time to fill their empty and restless hearts, it is impossible for them not to be satisfied with me as the president, just like the last masquerade that received rave reviews.
In contrast, going to other student clubs or organizations to show off your privileges is completely unnecessary and the benefits are extremely low.
Probably because he spoke so firmly, Tasia looked embarrassed.
"...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"It doesn't matter. Lily will always be like that before. It's normal for Tasia to subconsciously think of bad things." Wayne waved his hand. "Tasia also knows, right? The founder of the student union is my senior sister, Teacher Olive."
"I actually have always felt that the existence of the student union is not a bad thing. In the academy... we are not the only nobles."
He sighed, "The existence of the student union provides another possibility. It is precisely because of many different people that the world is so colorful and beautiful."
Touched by his words, Tasia immediately relaxed a lot.
"--Thank you."
she said suddenly.
"Huh?" Wayne asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly thank me?"
Tasia took a deep breath and whispered: "Actually, even I have doubts about whether the student union should continue its activities."
"Sometimes it is inevitable to feel that under the guidance of Lily Club, Qingxi Academy has been living well for so many years, hasn't it? But the newly established student union has brought a lot of extra troubles to everyone. In this way Come to think of it, it’s not completely unbearable…”
She didn't know why, but she easily stated the problem that had been bothering her recently.
Wayne laughed and said: "Times have changed! In the past, the academy never admitted low-level nobles and civilian students, but now it also accepts the same? Things are not static, but will develop."
Tasia was slightly startled, "I always feel that Wayne and someone I know...who is very important to me have very similar tone of voice."
"..."
Are you so observant?
Wayne covered it up smoothly: "Although I would be very happy if Tasia was willing to say that I am important to you, but I still don't really want to be a substitute for others..."
"It's not a substitute!"
Tasia couldn't help but retorted angrily, "I didn't think about it that way!"
