Lily waved excitedly and said, "When I'm at home, I watch TV and listen to music. When I go out, I go ice skating, swimming, dancing, watch movies, go to KTV, and such."
Louis looked at her and smiled, "Well, you just don't like reading, right?"
Lily blushed and lightly pinched Louis's arm: "You're so mean!" Watching Lily's charming demeanor, Louis burst into laughter, but he quickly stifled his laughter as he noticed Jack's fiery gaze fixed on him. Louis's expression turned serious as he patted Jack's shoulder, "Jack, you're going through a tough time. But you must endure!"
Jack's gritted teeth could be heard from the classroom, "'Louis! This is not funny at all!" and Lily's giggles followed.
At noon, Alan came to find Louis, "Emperor is very angry about what happened yesterday. But she won't confront you immediately; she wants to observe you for a while. Louis, you have to be careful!"
Louis nodded and asked, "How is John, whom I beat up yesterday? How many guys got hurt?"
Alan looked around the hallway and whispered, "I heard John's injuries are quite serious, and he won't recover quickly. That's also why Emperor is mad. She thinks you went too far and were too ruthless. There were more than ten others injured!"
Louis smirked, "If they're enemies, I won't show any mercy. How did you find out about this?"
Alan said, "Although I'm with you now, I still have friends with Emperor. He's the one who told me."
Louis understand and asked softly, "Is he reliable? Can we trust the information he provides?"
Alan nodded, "You can trust him, Louis. We've been friends since childhood, and he listens to me. I told him about us, and he actually wanted to come with me to see you, but I stopped him. I think it would be more helpful if he stays with Emperor for now."
Louis patted his shoulder and said, "That's right, with your friend on the inside, we can always stay updated on Emperor's situation." After a pause, Louis suddenly asked, "What does Emperor look like?"
Alan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "She's a very beautiful girl, long hair, big eyes, about 1.7 meters tall, slender..." Louis interrupted, "Does she often wear jeans and ride a motorcycle?"
Alan looked surprised and said, "Louis, how do you know? Have you met her?"
Louis sighed, thinking to himself, "What I fear might come true." He hadn't expected that the girl was truly Emperor. But she seemed so pure; it was hard to believe she would be involved in such matters. Louis felt an inexplicable sense of restlessness and absentmindedly tapped his fingers on the table.
Seeing that Louis didn't look well, Alan tactfully left. He speculated that Louis and Emperor might have an unusual relationship.
Three days later, during lunch break, Louis was having a quick meal at a nearby restaurant. These past two days, he hadn't encountered that girl again, and his mind was filled with questions. Louis had barely taken a few bites when a student rushed in. After scanning the room, the student spotted Louis and quickly approached, saying loudly, "Louis, something's wrong. Jack and Eric, they got beaten up!"
"What?" Louis stood up and looked. “Emperor is too quick!” Louis thought. "Take me to have a look."
Louis entered the classroom, and chaos reigned within. Broken desks and chairs were strewn about, and injured guys groaned on the ground. When Louis returned, a person stumbled over, tearfully saying, "Louis! Jack and Eric were taken away by Emperor. They told you to go to the third floor alone! They said if you don't go, they'll prepare our bodies."
Louis nodded expressionlessly, not saying a word, and turned to leave. But his guys who had spoken earlier grabbed his clothes. "Louis, you can't go alone, it's too dangerous! Let me go find Steven and discuss it first!"
Louis patted the hand holding his clothes and said, "There's no time. Don't worry, I have a plan in mind, I'll be fine! No need to find Steven, for now, his presence would only complicate things."
The person, taken aback by Louis' confidence, let go of his hand. At that moment, over twenty more people entered from outside, with Alan among them, loudly saying, "Louis, you can't go. I've heard that Emperor is dead serious this time. If you go, they won't let you come out standing. Plus, the information is tightly sealed; even the lower-ranked members don't know today's plan. I just got the news!"
Louis shook his head, hands in his pockets, and said, "Jack and Eric have been taken by them. If I don't go, what'll happen to them? The inevitable will come, hiding won't work, and besides, I've been wanting to meet Emperor!"
"But how can you be their match if you go alone? No, it's too dangerous!" Alan persisted.
"Don't say anymore. If I'm a minute late, Jack and Eric will be in more danger. I know what I'm doing, trust me!" Louis said, then turned to walk outside. As all the guys followed, he stopped and raised his hand, saying, "All of you stay in the classroom!" Everyone refrained from following, though worried, and could only silently pray in their hearts. Alan gathered everyone together, murmuring in hushed tones, and everyone nodded frequently.

Louis was extremely anxious. He walked alone towards the third floor. Jack and Eric were the first to follow Louis, and their bond was the deepest. When he heard that the two of them had been taken away, Louis knew that Emperor would definitely subject them to some mistreatment. He silently swore that if Jack and Eric were in danger, he would confront Emperor with all his might.
Upon reaching the third floor, without needing to ask around, Louis saw four or five students standing at the innermost part of the corridor, holding sticks in their hands. Louis knew that was the place. He strode over, gradually calming his heart.
"What are you here for?" one person tilted their head to look at Louis.
With a calm expression, Louis replied, "I'm here to see Emperor, tell them Louis has arrived." The person looked Louis up and down, exchanged a few words in a low voice with someone next to them, and the person nodded, opening the door behind them and walking in. Turning to Louis, they said, "You wait here!"
Louis put his hands in his pockets, half-turned, facing the wall, bowing his head in silence. But his brain was spinning rapidly, contemplating how he could safely rescue Jack and Eric and whether he could really harm Emperor if she was indeed that senior student. After a moment, even Louis himself felt a bit agitated. He sighed inwardly: "Forget it, let fate decide!"
After five minutes, the door finally opened. The student who had gone in earlier said to Louis, "Emperor wants to see you." Without hesitation, Louis entered. The room was dimly lit, with curtains drawn shut, illuminated only by two light bulbs. The room was quite large, with dozens of tables and chairs, yet it still felt spacious. Dozens of people stood inside, and in the center, a chair was placed. Sitting on it was a woman. Unfortunately, her back was turned to Louis, so he couldn't see her face. However, her silhouette gave Louis a feeling of familiarity. She had flowing black hair and was dressed in denim attire, but he couldn't shake the feeling that she was somewhat different from the girl he had encountered before.
"Are you Louis?" the girl's cold voice interrupted Louis' contemplation.
Calming his emotions, Louis answered, "Yes! Are you Emperor?"
Still with her back turned, the girl said, "You're clever, but you're also arrogant! You've only just arrived and you've already caused me to lose a good guy."
Louis replied indifferently, "I didn't want to get involved in this, but when trouble came knocking, I wouldn't avoid it."
Emperor coldly chuckled, "How old are you?" Louis hadn't expected the sudden question about his age. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "20 years old!"
"Two years younger than me! What a pity..." Emperor sighed.
Louis asked, "What do you mean by saying that?" Emperor stood up, but still didn't turn around, "I didn't intend for you to leave here alive! You're only 20 years old, do you think that's a pity or not?"
After hearing this, Louis burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke, showing little regard for the dozens of people present. "Whether I live to leave here is not something you can control. I just want to know how my friend is doing."
"You truly are arrogant! As for them, my guys are 'entertaining' them quite well!" Emperor sneered.
Louis definitely understood her meaning and said, " I come here because I assume that Emperor is a trustworthy person. If you can't even manage this, then I have nothing more to say."
Emperor coldly laughed, "You can't even manage yourself, yet you want to manage others. But you indeed value trust, and I'm not an unreasonable person." She turned to someone nearby and said, "Go release those two guys!"
The person nodded and left. Emperor finally turned around to stare at Louis, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. What unique eyes!
Louis also saw Emperor's face clearly, feeling relieved because she wasn't the motorcycle girl Emily. Although there was a strong resemblance, Louis was sure they weren't the same person. This girl was also an exceptionally rare beauty, with distinct arched eyebrows that reached to the tips of her hair. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with occasional flashes of light, though they carried a cold gleam. Under a delicate nose were two crimson lips. She exuded an air of formidable elegance, while Emily had an aura of delicate charm. Seeing this, Louis couldn't help but marvel. Emperor's position today wasn't accidental, and she had an irresistible charm that seemed to be the reason she commanded so many followers.
"Have you seen enough?" Under Louis's intense gaze, Emperor felt uncomfortable all over.
Louis felt a bit embarrassed as staring at girls was impolite. Seeing Louis remain silent, Emperor approached him and said, "You're so different from what I imagined!"
Louis responded with a nod, looking into Emperor's eyes, waiting for her to continue. Emperor raised her hand, her fingers lightly gliding over Louis's face as she continued, "I never thought you'd be a somewhat delicate and shy boy..."
The fragrance from the Emperor's words sprayed onto Louis's face, a mixture of sweetness and warmth that he couldn't help but inhale deeply. However, he quickly regained his composure. Louis's face turned red, and he lowered his head even further, repeating to himself in his mind: Stay calm! Stay calm!
Emperor looked at the young man before her, someone who could render John defenseless, a person with numerous followers, yet now appeared so bashful, blushing and bowing his head. Emperor couldn't help but feel the urge to tease him. Her face drew closer to Louis's, her red lips almost touching his skin, and the alluring scent grew more intense. Louis struggled to control himself; his hand in his pocket was drenched with sweat. Just then, a realization struck him – he felt the knife in his pocket, a blade that have changed his fate.
Taking a deep breath, Louis gently pushed Emperor away. His face lost its shyness, his eyes no longer held the previous daze. A glint of icy coldness flashed in his eyes, which swiftly brought Emperor back to her senses. Her face reddened, and Emperor wondered: What just happened? Wasn't I just teasing him? Why do I feel so entranced? Emperor surveyed her surroundings, only to find everyone dumbfounded, still captivated by the recent moment, her alluring and enticing demeanor imprinted in their minds.
With a sigh, Emperor gazed at Louis and said, "You're talented! If you're willing to join me, I won't make things difficult for you. I might even promote you. You're smart; I won't say much more. Think it over!"
Louis shook his head and said, "I'm a man. It's not possible for me to work under a girl, and there's no need for me to consider it." Louis's words were like a sledgehammer, hitting not only the Emperor's heart but also everyone else's in the room. The underlings blushed, one by one lowering their heads.
Emperor admitted to herself that she found herself somewhat fond of this young man before her, and she didn't want to hurt him. If he joined her, she would spare him and even employ him in a significant position. She just hadn't expected his outright rejection. Simultaneously, Louis's words wounded her pride; no one had ever treated her like this before. Anger surged within Emperor, and with a flushed face, she exclaimed, "Louis, who do you think you are? I offer you an opportunity, and you refuse. Don't blame me then!"
She turned to one of her subordinates and said, "Max, go and test him. Let's see if he has the audacity to be arrogant!"
