“Did the academy’s laboratory find anything suspicious in these sweets?” asked Joseph, who was the academy's deputy principal
Currently, he is running the academy on behalf of Frederic, who has gone to an important meeting at the Imperial Palace
Joseph did not expect that he would face such a crisis in the principal's absence
So he called an urgent meeting of the Academy Council
“ alright ...” Christina showed hesitation in answering.
" What is the problem?." Joseph's anxiety increased
“The head of the laboratory division said, ‘This is not a funny joke' .”
“...” Joseph was stunned
" a joke?." Joseph asked confused.
Christina explained. “According to their analysis, the samples we sent are just regular sweets and do not contain any drugs or foreign substance.”
“This…” Joseph looked at the instructors
"..." The instructors remained silent
They don't know what exactly they are facing
Suddenly, a type of sweet began to spread within the academy
But these sweets have a strange effect, which is that they can make a person recall his beautiful memories, and they have the taste of what a person loves most.
With these amazing effects, it only took hours for these sweets to spread among all the students and employees of the academy
Even the Academy Council members had tried these sweets and felt their effects
This increased their concern because these pies may contain harmful substances and may cause addiction such as drugs
It was not difficult to discover the source of these sweets
It appears that the Home Economics Club is responsible for making and selling the sweets
None of the Academy Council members knew how a club made up of cute girls could get involved in such a case. But after some investigation, they learned that the person running this operation was Alexander Ford
This is what made red lights shine in the faces of the instructors and the academy administration
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
As long as Alexander's name is mentioned in this case, they must take the matter more seriously
This is what prompted Joseph to seek the help of the academy’s laboratories to examine the ingredients of these sweets
But now it turns out that they are just ordinary sweets
So where did this strange effect come from?
This was not something one person had felt. No, this is a feeling that everyone who has eaten these sweets has experienced
There is a substance present in these sweets, and no one may know how dangerous this substance is, regardless of the person who made it
Joseph's eyes became cold. "Bring Alexander Ford here."

“Vinny, how much did we earn today?” Alexander asked indifferently as he sat behind a luxurious desk
A girl stood in front of him holding a tablet and looking at today's sales. “I know you don't like hearing boring details. So in short, we made fifty thousand coins today.”
Vinny said this amount with enthusiasm, as if she was having a hard time believing that they earned this much money in one day
Alexander shook his head dissatisfied. "It's still not enough."
“Khk..” Vinny almost dropped the tablet when she heard his words
You got this money in one day and you still say it's not enough?
She couldn't help but sigh, it's hard to understand the way rich people think
“Did Leonard succeed in convincing more students to work with us?” Alexander asked
They must find more people to meet the continuing demand for their products
Alexander was able to convince some students who belong to merchant families to participate in this project
He would produce the product and they would have to take it to markets outside the academy and sell it
That's why he was dissatisfied with the amount they got because he expected them to get more than that
“The rich students were not very interested in participating in this work, but many commoner students were convinced after they knew the salary they would receive.” Vinny replied
After several seconds, she followed up with a question. “But...don't you think the salary is a little too high? They will only work for three hours, but you will pay them in one day what a factory worker gets in an entire week.” Vinny didn't understand why Alexander would take such a step
She has been working with him for two days, but it did not take her long to discover that her boss is just a greedy person who loves money more than anything else and is not satisfied no matter how much money he gets.
A person with such a personality might do despicable things like exploit the needs of commoner students and force them to work for little pay
But on the contrary, he pays wages that will make everyone fight to work with him. Even though he would lose the money he could have put in his pockets
“I am a person who believes in workers’ rights. They are people like us and we must treat them with respect and give them a price that rewards their efforts.” Alexander answered with integrity and righteousness
“...” Vinny looked at him blankly
Why am I not convinced by what he said at all?
knock! knock!
The two heard a knock on the door
Vinny moved briskly and opened the door
Sylvia, followed by two students, entered the room as soon as the door opened
“The Academy Council requests your presence.” Sylvia said in a mild and emotionless voice
“Good morning to you too, Sylvie.” Alexander smiled and got up
Despite his calm attitude, he was trying to find a way to escape from the hands of the Academy Council
He thought they would act a few days after the sweets spread, but he did not expect that they would request his presence for interrogation after only two days.
Alexander grabbed the plate that was on the desk and presented it to his visitors. “Do you want some pies?”
Sylvia's face remained fixed
One of the students accompanying her reached out to pick up a pie, but stopped when he felt Sylvia's gaze pierce him
The student returned to his position, but his eyes remained fixed on the plate.
"Okay, I think I'll eat this alone." Alexander grabbed the pie and began eating in front of them
Sylvia's face turned grey. "Do you want to make them wait for you or something?"
“Of course not,” said Alexander, his mouth stuffed with pancakes
After he chewed and swallowed, he looked at Vinny. “Vinny, prepare twenty boxes of sweets. I can’t go to the Academy Council empty-handed.”
“…” The corners of Sylvia’s mouth twitched
The Academy Council intended to question Alexander about these sweets, but now Alexander wants to give them these sweets as a gift.
Sylvia walked in front, while behind her was Alexander, who stood to his right, and to his left, the two students accompanying Sylvia.
While behind them walked seven students carrying boxes laden with sweets
Alexander accidentally glanced out the window
He stopped his steps suddenly and pressed his face to the window
" why did you stop?." Sylvia asked annoyed
Alexander did not respond, and his eyes remained glued to the two people who were sitting on a park bench and eating some sweets.
One of them was Edward Baldwin
Next to him was a girl with red hair arranged in two tails
The two of them were sitting there and talking, although Alexander could not hear their conversation, what attracted him was the smile on Edward's face.
Oh boy, I think I found something interesting
The confrontation with Edward had left a deep impression on Alexander's mind
But the thing that made him even more worried was the killing intent that Edward was unleashing towards him
Edward really intended to kill him. but why?
This is what he thought about for a long time. After he was unable to find the reason why Edward had such killing intent, Alexander decided to find a way to neutralize Edward and to withstand in case Edward decided to go rash and attack him with everything.
He may not be able to confront him directly because victory is not guaranteed, but now he may have found a way to defeat Edward
