Old Walter entered a private room inside the academy's administration building

"How did it go?" David whispered

“Compensation for the damages will be paid from the academy’s treasury.” Old Walter explained to him how this crisis was resolved before it got worse

He couldn't help but sigh as he imagined the scene that would happen when Frederic discovered that he had made such a settlement to compensate the restaurant

Alexander was sitting on a chair, his shoulders covered with a thick blanket, holding a cup of hot tea

Alexander took a large swig of tea and lowered his head

His eyes were red and swollen, his skin was pale, and traces of trauma were still visible on his face, as if he had just survived a life-threatening situation.

“Do you understand what happened here?” Old Walter whispered, looking at Alexander with confusion

He was wondering what had pushed Alexander into such a miserable state

“Actually, that instructor told me what happened...” David pointed his eyes to Christina, who was sitting next to Alexander and lightly patted his back. “It looks like he ate some pork.”

Old Walter raised his eyebrows when he saw that David had stopped talking. " And...?."

“Just that...” David shook his head

“Are you saying that the reason for all this is that he ate a piece of pork?”

"He seems to have a phobia of pigs." Even David was having a hard time accepting this

"Well, this is a strange thing. We'd better take him back to his room so we can have a chance to talk to him."

David nodded and headed towards Christina to tell her this

Christina agreed to this proposal directly. She knows the identity of this man and knows that Alexander will be safe with him, especially in light of his current condition.

David and Old Walter moved Alexander into his small apartment in the student residence

Alexander had regained some of his calm during this time

Once he arrived at his apartment, Alexander headed towards the kitchen. "I'll make some tea."

Alexander's steps stopped and he turned to look at old Walter. “Sir, do you like tea or coffee?”

“Tea…” Old Walter replied

It did not take long for Alexander to return and place a cup of tea in front of old Walter while he placed sweet coffee in front of David

David picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked in confusion. “How do you know that I like sweet coffee?”

Alexander shrugged. “The servants always brought it when you visited the Ford family mansion. But it is surprising to see you here, Uncle David.” Alexander looked at them curiously

"I'm here to talk to you about an important topic." David was thinking of an appropriate way to open this topic

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“Oh...” Although Alexander's focus was on David, he occasionally glanced at the old man who still did not introduce himself.

“Do you know why we are here, Alexander?” The old man asked as he quietly picked up the cup of tea

Alexander's eyes widened. “Is this a game of questions? I like this type of game.”

Old Walter's expression became strange

“Hmm...” Alexander stroked his chin lightly. “You are clearly important figures in the government, so I am sure you are here on an official mission to do something.”

It's a good thing that this boy is smart, he will definitely know that the best option is to cooperate with us... Old Walter closed his eyes in satisfaction when he saw that Alexander immediately understood why they came here

Alexander snapped his fingers together and said excitedly. “You must be here to give me a reward because I helped you find those criminals.”

“…” Old Walter’s eyes opened in shock

How did you come to such a conclusion?

“Is this the wrong answer?...” A look of disappointment appeared on Alexander’s face, then he crossed his arms and started thinking again. "Well I think I found it this time."

Old Walter felt that Alexander had not found the answer yet

Alexander pointed his finger at David and said with a playful smile. "You must be here to give me an invitation to Seraphina and Lucas' wedding."

David's hand, which was about to put the coffee cup down, froze

“Hahaha, this is just a joke...” Alexander laughed, waving his hand in stark contrast to David's embarrassed and shocked expression.

"..." Get yourself together, David

Old Walter began to realize that Alexander had said this on purpose in an attempt to strike David

Indeed, he was able to bring down David with just a few words

David was still confused by Alexander's words. Old Walter did not understand the exact situation regarding this marriage, but he had to intervene before Alexander said any more things. “We are here to ask you about Winston Hitler.”

Alexander's smile disappeared and was replaced by a frown. “I think I told Detective Jeff that I don't have any information about this man.”

“We are wondering if you have information that you would avoid revealing because it could threaten your life or put you in a dangerous situation. You can be assured that we will try to protect you at all costs.” Old Walter's words were calm, but they indicated that Alexander was lying, and that he was hiding important information

"I don't like to repeat myself more than once, so I'll do it in a different way this time." Alexander got up and headed towards the window

Old Walter looked curiously at Alexander, who opened the window and stuck his head out. But he was shocked when Alexander started screaming without warning

"I don't know any information about Winston Hitler." Alexander shouted

Old Walter jumped from his place in shock and tried to stop him before anyone heard that name

" What?!." A voice rang out from outside

Old Walter's steps froze, realizing that it was already too late

-----------------------

Leonard was returning to the student dormitory after finishing his daily training

He was carrying paper bags containing meat and some vegetables, and thinking about what to prepare for dinner today

Leonard has always preferred to eat food that he prepared himself instead of restaurant food, because home-cooked food is healthier and cheaper

The sun was about to set and the sky was turning orange

The place was quiet and the weather was beautiful, in addition to the trees and bushes spread on both sides of the road, making the road leading to the student residence a wonderful place for walking.

Therefore, he always took slow steps to enjoy these few moments of rest and considered them an excursion away from studying and training.

Leonard could see the student dormitory on the horizon, so he closed his eyes and walked steadily forward

In the midst of his contemplation and moment of relaxation, he heard a loud voice coming from in front

Leonard opened his eyes and looked around cautiously, but found nothing

After some scrutiny, he noticed that someone was sticking his head out of the window of an apartment on the top floor of the student dormitory

Leonard quickly approached there to see who that student was, but stopped when he began to distinguish the features of that young man

Is this Alexander?

But what does he do?

" What?!." Leonard shouted to know what Alexander was intending to do by screaming at such a peaceful time

Alexander raised his voice. "I don't know any information about Winston Hitler..."

" Who is this man?." Leonard shouted in confusion

" why do you want to know?."

“...” Then why the hell are you screaming if you don't intend to tell anyone?

“If you're curious, I can tell you...”

"..." No, I'm not curious about this

“Come up to my apartment quickly so—”

Before Alexander could finish his words, a man grabbed him and led him into the room while another man quickly closed the window and curtains.

"..." What just happened?

Leonard kept looking at the window of Alexander's apartment thinking about what he should do, in the end he decided to inform the club members about this

Leonora created a group for Chemistry Club members on an app

Or that's what she told them, because not all club members are in this group

In fact, Alexander was the only person not in this group

This was strange because even Gray who didn't have any strong relationship with them was in that group

Leonora was telling them that she would bring Alexander into the group at the right time

But the right time has not come yet

Leonard decided to tell the important people about this because they could judge the situation better than him

Leonard: Guys, I think Alexander's in trouble.

Leonora: Tell me something new

Leonard: It's strange this time. Alexander was shouting things out the window about someone called Winston Hitler, and then two suspicious men grabbed him and dragged him into the room.

Lily: I knew this day would come, given Alexander's unpleasant personality it wouldn't be surprising if someone hired an hitman to get rid of him.

Gray: Is this a kidnapping? What if he was screaming for help?

Ner: We have to help him

Diana: I will come with my guards too

Lily: Everyone will die one day, I think we should leave it to fate

Larry: I will call the academy guards so they can go there. It will be safer, because they are experts in freeing hostages

Leonard: I will monitor the situation and wait for you

Leonard turned off his phone and sat on a nearby bench waiting for help to arrive. He prayed that Alexander would be alive when the police arrived.

Leonard took out a ready-made sandwich and started eating it, looking at the sunset
