Chapter 983
Beyond the door to the banquet hall, which was roughly opened, and the remnants of the golden energy that bound the shadow, Huang Ho greeted the Chinese team.
At first glance, it seemed that Huang Ho, furious over the rude behavior of a student, was silently observing the situation. However, the reality was different.
Huang Ho was confirming information about the highest-ranking knight through his clone.
‘That person is one of the Grand Cross, the "Knight of Earthquake."’
The three knights mentioned in the name of the team "The Oath of Three Knights" were as follows:
The knight of the yellow rose who tried to kidnap Jared Lee at the amusement park.
The knight of the Water Shadow, who appeared on the same day and escaped after evading Seodol.
And now, the Knight of Earthquake, who Huang Ho was facing.
‘It doesn’t seem like they’re trying to hide their identity, but they’re not taking the lead either. Are they waiting for our reaction?’
The Knight of Earthquake stood a step behind the person who appeared to be the team leader.
Given the standing and power of the Oath of Three Knights, it wouldn’t have been strange for the Knight of Earthquake to take the lead of the Chinese team, but it seemed they had intentionally declined the prominent position.
Perhaps it was because the Knight of Earthquake belonged to the British pro player team, but it wasn’t uncommon for a coach to come from a different nationality in professional sports, so it likely wasn’t due to nationality.
“Lu Bowen! Yao Leqi!”
Meanwhile, the person leading the coaching staff swiftly made their way down the long hotel corridor.
A man with unusual stamina, Lu Bowen, who seemed to have been kicked around often, immediately crouched down, raising his arms to guard himself.
“I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s just that the principal of Eungwang High loves art, so I wanted to show off our shadow theater, as a surprise performance. Isn’t that right, Leqi?”
“I’m just here to make sure you don’t do anything foolish. I didn’t do anything.”
“Traitor!”
Yao Leqi coldly responded, immediately abandoning Lu Bowen.
In reality, it was only Lu Bowen who had actually done something wrong, so Yao Leqi wasn’t wrong.
Yao Leqi turned away and made a calm expression, as if this had nothing to do with her, while Lu Bowen continued to whine.
“...Eungwang High does have a few expelled students.”
Yao Leqi trailed off, as if she wanted to say more but couldn’t in front of Huang Ho.
‘It seems she has done some research on Eungwang High. If she knew my history, she might think that I accepted problem students because I’m lenient, but really, I let them slide because I was negligent.’
Yao Leqi was an instrument player.
From what she said, it seemed she had looked into Eungwang High, perhaps because she admired Kwon Jein and had a dream of performing in the hall where she had played.
Unlike Lu Bowen, who was full of passion, Yao Leqi was perceptive but seemed to have gotten involved in this chaotic plan to appeal to Huang Ho.
However, it seemed she had given up after Huang Ho’s cold response.
It was a bit of a shame, but Huang Ho wasn’t in the mood to indulge, so he maintained his stance.
“Excluding the candidates, there are thirteen students in the team, but one is missing.”
Huang Ho said in a haughty tone.
It was as if he was asking why a student hadn’t come to greet him personally.
In fact, Huang Ho already knew who the missing student was.
That individual was Li Wei, blessed by the legendary figure, Shennong.
Li Wei was the person who had been asked to cooperate in seeking revenge against the former head of the Ujok family.
When asked about Li Wei’s whereabouts, Dong Xiaodan answered.
“I heard he went to the restroom... but wait.”
Lu Bowen and Yao Leqi noticeably shifted uneasily.
Dong Xiaodan immediately interrogated Lu Bowen.
“Wei was watching you, Bowen. He said he went to the restroom, but where did he really go?”
“Aha, he was trying to cause trouble, so I worked with Leqi to ambush him and locked him in the cleaning closet...”
Thwack!
