The World of Deities Chapter 80 – Hiring Assassins

Larence sighed and said, “Su Ye, I want to know your final choice.”

Su Ye said, “As long as Carlos publicly apologizes to me and admits that he is framing me, I will let bygones be bygones and give him a chance to change his ways. If he decides to continue his wrongdoings, and not repent or become more reserved or stop, I can only counter-sue him and request that the academy expel Carlos from the campus and find out the truth of the matter! What exactly is the reason that he is undermining the overall situation!”

Gregory said angrily, “You are simply a rock in the toilet, smelly and hard!”

Su Ye pretended to be surprised as he looked around the hall. Finally, his gaze fell on Gregory and said, “If Plato Academy is the toilet and I am a rock, then aren't you…”

The teachers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even the eyes of the two enforcers, who looked as if they had been petrified, began to change.

They had never seen a student who could talk better than the teacher.

Gregory turned to Niedern and said, “This is the student that you taught!”

Niedern rolled his eyes at Gregory and didn't bother to retort. “You can't even win a debate against my student, but you still dare to criticize me? Who gave you the courage?”, he thought.

Larence thought for a long time and said, “In the early morning, I will report this matter to the Magic Council. If nothing unexpected happens, the Magic Council will organize a third-party arbitration tomorrow to determine the final result. I hope to receive your magic letters before the early morning. The meeting is adjourned!”

Larence's face darkened, and he turned to leave.

The other teachers looked at Su Ye helplessly. Was it the teacher who was interrogating the student, or was it the student who was the eloquent master?

Niedern was the first to stand up. His red hair made him stand out like a crane among chickens. He gave Su Ye a look and walked out.

Su Ye did not care about the enforcers at all. He raised his feet and walked out.

The two enforcers looked at each other with a frozen expression. They could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

When he walked out of the door, Su Ye saw many students waiting outside. Other than the first-year freshmen, there were students from all grades. Almost all the second-year students from class three had come.

Su Ye smiled and said, “Don't worry, everyone. Tomorrow, the Magic Assembly will arbitrate the matter of Carlos slandering me!”

Gregory, who was not far away, almost jumped up. How did one thing become another thing when Su Ye said it?

“As expected, it's a false accusation!” Huo Te shouted excitedly.

A few students could not help but roll their eyes. Huo Te's brain was too stupid. He could not even tell that Su Ye was playing with his words, but Su Ye did play it well.

However, Su Ye might really not be the thief.

At least, most of the peasant students were willing to trust Su Ye on an emotional basis.

Niedern said, “Su Ye, I believe that you will definitely be able to resolve this matter at the arbitration tribunal tomorrow.”

“Thank you, teacher Niedern,” Su Ye smiled in acknowledgement.

As soon as this teacher-student conversation spread around, everyone's suspicion of Su Ye lessened a bit more.

Gregory was about to retaliate, but images of what happened in the Academic Affairs Office's Hall appeared in his mind. He immediately shut his mouth and left resentfully.

Su Ye's gaze fell on Gregory's fading silhouette, feeling deeply regretful.

Niedern motioned for the other students to go back first, and led Su Ye to the open field.

“What exactly do you think about this matter?” Niedern asked.

“I have no enmity with Carlos. He has a good reputation. Then, someone must have instructed him to make things difficult for me… No, to end me.”

“Is it that serious?” Niedern asked.

“If a magic apprentice is expelled from Plato Academy, will his status be even comparable to an ordinary black iron mercenary?” Su Ye asked.

“Do you have any suspects?” Niedern asked.

Su Ye shook his head, “It could be someone from an aristocratic academy, someone behind Lawrence, or someone else. However, speaking of Lawrence, I have to think of a way to solve it as soon as possible. Teacher, for how much are you willing to kill a bronze warrior? Is that magic ring enough?”

Niedern resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, “Have you ever heard of a student hiring a teacher to be an assassin?”

“I just did,” Su Ye said.

Niedern thought for a moment and said, “Do you really want to get rid of Lawrence?”

“Very much.”

“If it was just an ordinary bronze warrior, three hundred golden eagles would be enough to get rid of him. However, Lawrence is never alone. There is no way to finish him without two thousand golden eagles. In addition, once you make your move, there is a high chance that he will catch wind of it and counterattack. Before you can kill him, he might kill you first,” Niedern said.

“That's why I'm asking you to help me. Another two hundred golden eagles would be enough to buy a bronze magic artifact. I don't see many on you.” Su Ye calmly glanced at Niedern's entire body.

Niedern replied with a dark face, “All of my expenses have been used to break through to the saint-level. Wipe that look of disdain and pity from your face!”

“1,200 golden eagles, no more,” Su Ye said seriously.

“You'd better think about how you're going to face the arbitration tomorrow,” Niedern had a look of disdain on his face as he turned and left.

“How about I owe you another 500 golden eagles?” Su Ye asked.

Niedern hastened his footsteps as he left.

Su Ye hadn't imagined that Lawrence's influence might be greater than he had imagined. Otherwise, Niedern wouldn't have directly rejected him. Moreover, he had heard from Kaerton that it would not be appropriate to directly deal with Lawrence.

“Since we can't find the mastermind behind this, we have to deal with the people in front of us. Carlos, since you have the intention to harm me, you have to be prepared to pay the price!”

Su Ye went straight to the teacher's office to fulfil his duty the representative for the preparation and revision class.

Although most of the people left after he returned to the classroom, Su Ye still wrote on the blackboard.

Su Ye walked to his seat. Other than Ebert and Jimmy, everyone else at the same table was there.

Laker stood up and stopped Su Ye and said in a low voice, “I just found out that in the afternoon, a female student from a noble family was scolding you in the cafeteria. Palos held a big bowl full of vegetable soup and directly capped it on that woman's head. I heard that she even slapped that woman. That sound could even shatter the crystal glass. It was really satisfying. You have to thank her.”

Laker lowered his voice so that no one could hear him from further away. However, the range of his voice coincidentally included where Palos was at.

Palos did not look at the two of them. She only looked up at the magic blackboard. As she carefully copied the review content, she thought to herself, “I didn't slap her.”.

Su Ye looked at Palos in surprise. He still remembered that the noble woman was at least a black iron warrior. She was very tall and strong. Palos actually dared to do that in public. No matter how prominent her family background was, it could still be dangerous.

Su Ye smiled. Suddenly, he felt that the snow beside the blue lake had melted.

Su Ye nodded, indicating that he understood.

Laker looked at Huo Te again and held back his words.

Su Ye put his hand on Huo Te's shoulder and asked, “Why don't you go to the arena to practice?”

“I've been busy with other things recently,” Huo Te said.

“I won't be going home today. I'll go to the meditation place to sleep tonight,” Su Ye said.

“Will there really be people from the Magic Council Tomorrow?” Huo Te asked.
