s.They walked through the frigid corridors, the lights flickering and casting elongated, dancing shadows.The black oak door to the master bedroom of the castle stood silently at the end of the darknes...Chapter 202: Loren: Huh

On either side of the Iktheria Academy's path, ancient oaks spread their dense canopies, sunlight filtering through the leaves and dappling the stone pathway.

In the distance, the Learning and Education Building stands tall, a symbol of the academy, always bustling with activity.

Lance, Hubleyan and the new student were walking down such a road when they suddenly saw Lauren.

Dean Loren's leather shoes made a soft scraping sound as he walked toward the three of them. All around them, the other students were laughing and talking, with the rustling of leaves in the breeze providing a subtle backdrop to their conversation.

"Ranch, Huberlian."

Dean Luo spoke first, his eyes fixed intently on the two of them.

"What was the contest between you and Adams about"

He wasn't in the mood to worry about why Ranchi and Huberlyan were hanging out with a student from the Kingdom of Avalor.

This isn't a big deal, as long as the two of them don't send innocent students to jail, Lauren doesn't think it's anything to worry about.

Ranch and Huberlian looked at each other, apparently not expecting to meet the principal here.

"Dean Loren!"

Lanche was so happy to see Principal Lauren, who had suddenly appeared from the sky as if he had been looking for him.

"My friendship competition with Adam is over, he chose the [Despair's Icy Shackles] artificial world and I agreed."

Lanche first answered Lauren's question.

"Are you done"

Lauren said, perplexed, "The match is over. Why is Adams still in the Seventh Courtyard"

"And why hadn't he been able to contact Juliana all day"

"Adams is still in the shadow world..."

"Huh You didn't win"

"I lost."

Loren felt a chill run down her spine immediately.

He never expected Lynch to lose.

This guy lost so easily, there's only one possibility——

He never intended to win.

For a moment, Lauren couldn't figure out what Ranchi had done.

Loren immediately looked at Huberlian.

Huperlyan is a rare normal person, she at least speaks human language better than Lynch.

"Huperlyan, you tell me, what's going on"

>“……”

Huberlian glanced at Lanchi, then stammered and mumbled, saying,

"Lanch and Adams made a bet. If Lanch won, Knight Juliana would go on a date with you."

"A date..."

When Loren heard about this bet, he was quite shocked. But after hearing the details, he let out a sigh of relief.

It's good that Ranch didn't win!

Think about it differently.

What could possibly make Julianna agree to such an outlandish condition, and what would be the consequences for Lance if he were to lose

Loren then looked at Huberly, waiting for her to finish speaking.

Huaiberlian was fidgeting, twisting her skirt and unable to speak for a long time.

Loren started to get nervous. He felt like he could be struck by lightning at any moment.

At this moment, Lynch felt Huberly's predicament and took a step forward, opening his mouth to speak:

"That's right, if Adams wins, you don't have to do anything extra. Just go with the flow. Then you can prepare for a date with Lady Julianna."

""

Loren didn't understand Lance's meaning.

How can there be such an unequal treaty

Moreover, why would Juliana even date him What does he have to offer!

"Sir Julian agreed, as long as you apologize and get her forgiveness, she will go on a date with you..."

Lanche explained to Dean Lauren.

As they talked on their way through the academy, a commotion appeared at the entrance of a distant building, catching their attention, and soon the sound of hurried footsteps reached them.

A team of medical personnel in white uniforms bearing the insignia of Chain Gold Hospital strode out quickly from the Learning and Education Building. They looked very professional.

Over the past few days, they have been deployed several times already. This time is a bit of a theatrical performance.

And even more shocking was the man being carried away on a stretcher — Adam.

His once confident and jovial face now appeared pale beyond belief. He had just gone through a great ordeal, nearly losing his life, and his face was covered in frost, like something pulled out of a freezer.

And Lauren’s gaze was captivated by Adam, unable to look away.

"This..."

Lorene's face displayed a mixture of disbelief and shock. Her eyes widened, her mouth agape, unable to form words.

His head tilted back slightly, searching for answers in the unbelievable scene unfolding in the distance.

When the stretcher passed by Lauren and her companions on the road.

Adam, still slightly trembling on the stretcher, noticed Lauren's expression of alarm.

He quickly flashed a smile, as if the victor, for a brief moment.

He won overwhelmingly!

He just wanted to see Loren's expression like this. This academic visit to the Kingdom of Heston was definitely worthwhile!

However.

As the stretcher's angle shifted, Adams noticed Ranch by Lauren's side. Adams' gaze gradually locked onto him again.

Only then did Lan Qi's expression appear full.

Unlike Adam.

While Adams was suffering in prison, Lance probably had a wonderful day yesterday: a delicious meal, good company, and a restful sleep.

Adam's brain began to race.

"Orchid… Orchid Ranch… Could it be you…"

His lips trembled, and he uttered a weak voice as the stretcher passed by his side.

"...."

Lan Qi pursed her lips, a look of pity tinged with regret and reproach in her eyes.

It's like asking Adams, why doesn't he believe in himself, this is just a friendly match.

"Lance, hello..."

Finally, Adams turned his head and went away.

"

“…”

"

There was silence on the road.

Bidding farewell to Adams as he was carried away.

A lump of frustration was stuck in her throat.

Some things are beyond words, and he now understands what Lanchi meant by "going with the flow."

This calls for an apology to Juliana.

"Lord Loren, go on and enjoy your date with Lady Juliana! If you ever need help finding love again, just ask me. I guarantee I'll get you settled for life!"

Ranch tucked his hands into his pockets, sighed, and looked back at Lauren. His smile was like that of an angel holding a love arrow.

…"

Looking at Lynch, Lauren went through several expressions.

I could have gone on a date with Juliana.

It should be a dreamlike thing.

Loren never expected there to be such an opportunity.

But why does he feel so mournful now

His already bumpy emotional road, after being carefully crafted by Lan Chi, might very well turn into a smooth path.

Finally.

Lauren laughed.

It's a tearful laugh.

"I'm such a fool, really…"

Loren raised his lifeless eyes and shook his head, unable to form a sentence.

The embers have died out...
