“All salaries you have been receiving from the government will be stopped.”
"..." Alexander's mouth opened in shock
But soon Alexander was able to regain his senses and said in panic. “What does this mean?”
“It seems you didn't hear what I said well.” Walter was amused by this, so he slowly repeated his words. “The salary you were receiving will be stopped.”
“I heard you the first time, but I ask why you want to cut off my money?”
"This is because you will be joining the new academy under a different identity. Therefore, we must sever any connection with your true identity." Walter had a righteous expression, but his tone held unconcealed gloating
"Can't you transfer the money to me through a secret account or something like that?" Alexander tried to find a way out of his crisis
“Unfortunately we cannot.” Walter shook his head. “Even if they don't find out about you, for a mere ordinary student to receive a salary of this amount will raise suspicions about you...”
Walter's smile widened. “We want your safety after all.”
Alexander carried a desperate expression as he listened to Walter's words
The salary he received monthly from the government was a great help to him, given the expensive materials he had to buy.
Especially since he buys most of these materials from the black market, which makes their price double
But it seems that George wants to exploit this issue in order to cut this salary
Alexander could imagine the malicious smile on George's face as he made this despicable decision
Alexander gritted his teeth angrily
Unlike Alexander, Walter was relieved, as if he had released all the anger inside him at seeing Alexander suffer.
After submitting his report to the emperor, Walter expected the emperor to be angry or upset
But the strange thing is that George was supportive of the decision and seemed strangely enthusiastic
Tell that brat that we will cut off his salary. I want you to tell him that personally. Believe me, you will like it... With these orders, George sent Walter on this mission.
Walter didn't know the meaning of the last sentence at first
But now that he saw Alexander's expression, he understood how wise the Emperor was
Alexander's miserable expression was enough to make Walter satisfied for the rest of the day
Walter had always kept a stern face at all times, given his experiences and position, but seeing this brat who had been rolling over in front of him for the past two days suffering like this was enough for this steadfast face to break and a smile spread across his face from side to side.
Long live the Emperor... Walter praised the Emperor for his wisdom

Damn you, George the bastard... At the same moment, Alexander was cursing George
“…” Frederic looked at what was happening in front of him with a blank expression
Alexander was clenching his fists with an angry expression
While Walter looked at Alexander gloatingly
Should I intervene...Frederic knew what was going on
But after some thought he decided not to do anything
In fact, he also thinks that Alexander deserves some punishment for all the stupid things he's been doing
“Okay...” Walter got up from his seat. Although he was trying to be stern, his expression betrayed him. “You will be transferred tomorrow. Prepare yourself...”
Frederic and Walter left the room, leaving Alexander to suffer from this new blow he had received
---------------------------
Academy Council meeting room
“Are you saying he will return to the Ford family?” Christina asked in amazement
" This is correct." Frederic nods
Frederic invited all the instructors to inform them of this decision
The plan was to disseminate this information widely
Alexander will go to the Ford family....This is what everyone was told during this meeting
With this, the attention of their enemies will turn towards the Ford family and away from Alexander
Frederic knew well that there were instructors loyal to noble families and even the Holy Church
These instructors will deliver this news to the entities they serve and word will spread
Not many people will understand what this means
But there is a high probability that this news will reach the ears of some people who work with the Bloody Crescent
This is the desired goal of this step
“You mean...” one of the instructors took off his glasses and asked hesitantly. “There will be no Alexander after today?”
" This is correct..."
The instructors looked at each other in confusion
But soon their confusion turned into happiness
All the instructors cheered in sync
“...” Frederic stared at the instructors who were jumping happily
He knew that Alexander had caused a lot of chaos since arriving at the academy
Of course the academy had to clean up this mess
In fact, the instructors were responsible for the task of cleaning up the messes and problems caused by the students
This was their duty as instructors for future generations
But what Alexander was doing was beyond their capabilities
There were even some instructors who wanted to resign from teaching because of Alexander, but Frederic convinced them to endure for a while.
The problem is that no instructor dared touch Alexander's hair or blame him
Whether the instructors belonged to commoners or came from noble families, they all knew well the true background of the Ford family
Henry Ford's reputation was enough to deter anyone who wanted to offend Alexander
So the instructors could only stand idly by as they watched Alexander wreak havoc on the academy
But now everything has been resolved
One of the instructors wiped tears from his eyes. “I haven't felt this comfortable since my son was born.”
Another instructor put her hand on his shoulder. "I'll invite everyone to drink today."
The cheers rose again
Only Christina and Eric were the only ones sitting silently
--------------------
"They can't do that." David spoke angrily
Theodore sat in front of him with some helplessness. “They told me that the Bloody Crescent Organization has people who have the ability to steal memories, so it would be dangerous for any information about this matter to be published.”
“He is your son…” David looked at Theodore with reproach. “They should inform you of his location.”
“I tried with them, but Walter refused to tell me outright.” Theodore lowered his head bitterly
David leaned back on the chair and felt uncomfortable. "He needs you..."
Theodore remained silent
“He is your son... There is a group of lunatics who demolished the academy in order to kidnap him...”
" I know..."
“So you know they won't stop here, they'll do it again just to catch him.”
Theodore's face contorted angrily. "He rejects everything. He doesn't want the family to protect him, he doesn't want me to protect him. All he does is act childish and stubborn."
“This is where you come in as a father...” David pointed his finger at Theodore. “You should have held him and listened to him when he needed it, but now...”
David paused, remembering his last conversation with Alexander
That conversation made him feel extremely uncomfortable whenever he remembered it
But he was also helpless
He knew very well that Alexander would not be able to advance any further
Therefore, he did not want his daughter to get stuck in a well that she would not be able to get out of
He wanted her to see the vast world and meet strong people who could be qualified to stand by her side
He was under pressure from his family members to avoid an engagement between Alexander and Seraphina
Although he appreciated Alexander, he did not accept the idea of Alexander becoming Seraphina's partner
Deep down, he believed that Alexander was inferior to Seraphina
They were not of the same level at all
Fortunately, Alexander was appreciative of the circumstances, so he distanced himself from Seraphina
David was grateful for this because he didn't want to do this himself
It was painful at first for Seraphina, but she was able to get over it in the end
But now a new problem has emerged
A strange organization has emerged with powerful fighters and methods that no one has ever heard of before
Worst of all is that it specifically targets Alexander for an unknown reason
"Did they tell you anything important?" David asked
All information regarding this matter was secret, even the members of the Supreme Council had no access to anything
The only people who are completely aware of this matter are Emperor George and Intelligence Chief Walter
“All they know is that the Bloody Crescent wants to kidnap Alexander. They want him alive.” Theodore answered a little tiredly
"But why Alexander specifically?" David was very confused
What does Alexander have to make all these powerful warriors do something crazy like attacking the academy
There is definitely a reason for this and this reason is linked to Alexander
“They don't know anything about this…” Theodore shook his head. “They tried everything they had, but they did not find any information indicating why the Bloody Crescent targeted Alexander.”
