The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 756 Encounter

Before the group could even sit down and exchange a few words, a waiter came to inquire.

Jiang Hui's initial feeling was correct; St. Pleton Higher School truly lived up to its aristocratic style. Even a family-run restaurant that was temporarily open to the public was behaving like a high-end establishment, complete with personal order takers. The group experienced firsthand the service of a high-class restaurant in the central star region within the school's dining hall.

However, Hillman's future classmates were perhaps a little too curious; two of them had already taken the opportunity of going out to glance at them several times. Clarence and Hillman, on the other hand, seemed quite used to such stares and chatted as if no one else was around.

The starship sent by the Hillman family to pick up Jiang Hui and the other person was still on its way, and it would probably take another star hour. Hillman was very resentful about having to study at St. John's University alone, so he naturally wanted to delay as long as possible.

"Damn it, why did they have to hold an auction at a time like this?!" I want to go too!

Upon learning that he had missed another exciting event, the person became even more resentful, muttering to himself several times along the way. Jiang Hui and the other person simply ignored him, pretending he was chanting sutras like an Arhat.

Theoretically speaking, such an occasion was not suitable for a young boy like Clarence. But unfortunately, there was trouble on the Northwest Front, and Clarence's mother and siblings had to go to the front. His father also had important matters to attend to, and the other members of the clan had their own families to attend to, so the only one who could go was him, a young boy.

However, considering that the Clarence family is not a large, business-oriented family, their attendance at this event can only be considered a statement in a certain sense. Therefore, the children can simply show up and make an appearance; there's no need for them to do anything significant.

The auction happened to be close in time to the Hillman Group's seminar, and the locations weren't too far apart, so they could go together. After consulting with his father, Clarence decided to go with Jiang Hui so they could keep each other company.

As for Xi, he could only pitifully attend the school's orientation and watch his two friends go off to broaden their horizons.

Even though he was unwilling, Hillman ultimately dared not disobey his grandfather's orders and could only obediently stay at the school for orientation.

Seeing that it was almost time, Hillman's father sent a text message to the group, informing them that the starship they had arranged had arrived and was already waiting outside, and that they should set off as soon as possible to avoid being late for the seminar.

Jiang Hui came so early this time because of the headquarters seminar. Since he could make it, there was no need to delay.

Hillman planned to lead them to the starship parking area and personally see them off.

By this time, most of the people in the restaurant had left, with only a few scattered tables in a distant corner still having long conversations.

Before the group had even stepped out of the hall, a group of people came towards them.

"you"

Jiang Hui never expected to run into someone she knew here. Logically, she should have been the least likely of the three to run into someone, but fate is like that, always bringing unexpected events.

She was giving Hillman some instructions when, before she could finish speaking, she turned her head and met a face that looked somewhat familiar. Jiang Hui had an excellent memory, and it was getting better and better; sometimes she could even review her own memories in her consciousness space. So she was absolutely certain that she recognized these faces; she had definitely seen them somewhere before, but they were definitely not people she knew well.

Clearly, the other person also had a good memory. At first, I was a little unsure, but then I confirmed it based on the expression on her face.

Jiang Hui actually remembered the names of the two leaders, but she had seen more than just those two before, and she didn't know the names of the others. So she simply nodded as a greeting, since it was still a bit awkward given that they seemed to know each other's faces.

"You, you're not qualified to take that exam." Sure enough, someone in the crowd immediately recognized him.

Indeed, those were the people she accused the suspects on the spot that day. They were just taking a normal exam, but it all turned into a mess and they ended up in the military law department together. Although they escaped unscathed in the end, they were dragged into it, and they probably cursed her as the "culprit" countless times in their hearts.

However, Jiang Hui was also an innocent victim. In that situation, she didn't care whether she would involve others. She was afraid that she would not be able to eat or sleep if she did not catch the person who was hiding behind her and attack her on the spot, and she would not be able to live with herself after suffering so much.

However, for these individuals who are considered the pride of heaven, what happened that day must have been a great disgrace.

Jiang Hui didn't expect these people to treat her well, so she nodded in response and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, someone immediately appeared and blocked the way.

Xining Springer, the hot-tempered young master she met on the way to Atlantis—the one who almost became the scapegoat for the real suspect in the final stage of the indictment. Jiang Hui had also traveled with this person on the Dragon Soaring, but the impression he left on her along the way was mostly cold stares and snorts.

As for Ji Yunshan, one of the other companions from the Dragon Soaring, Jiang Hui had a slightly better impression of her. However, she felt that Ji Yunshan was also the kind of person with a high-and-mighty attitude, not her type. Therefore, neither of them had any desire to get to know her, and they didn't say anything. Right now, she was still walking with that Springer. She didn't come forward to speak, but judging from her eyes, she probably recognized him.

What's going on now?
Jiang Hui thought carefully about what had happened that day; aside from accusing the suspect, she didn't seem to have offended this person.
Aside from her accusations, the sudden halt to the pilot qualification exams was most likely due to Atlantis being caught up in the chaos of the war at the time, and the military would never have allowed them to continue the exams. Therefore, the suspension of the qualification exams was inevitable, and it shouldn't be her fault.

Just as Jiang Hui was about to ask, the person next to her stepped forward and blocked the way between Jiang Hui and Springer: "What is it?" This was asking on her behalf.

"Clarence?" The other person seemed somewhat puzzled upon seeing him.

Oh, it turns out it's not just her acquaintance; it seems Clarence knows them too.

Clarence didn't respond, only staring intently at the other person before blocking his gaze towards Jiang Hui, which seemed to harbor ill intentions. The two remained locked in a stalemate, their old grudges clearly indicating a very poor relationship.

"No way, bro, what kind of riddle are you trying to solve? At least say a few more words. If you're an enemy, I can help you put up a fight later. What's the use of a murderous glare, huh?" Jiang Hui thought to himself.

However, Clarence clearly had his reasons for shielding her, and Jiang Hui naturally wouldn't embarrass him like that. She looked at the other person opposite her who was obviously watching the show and said, "I wonder what business you two have with me? I think we've met before, but we shouldn't have any grudges."
