I rely on myself

Chapter 768: Subsequent Impact

This sudden attack came to an end quickly. Although it caused a lot of noise, it did not cause many casualties to the academy.

Except for some unlucky people, basically everyone else only suffered some minor skin injuries and it was nothing serious. However, the impact caused by this was not so easy to eliminate, but instead became more and more serious.

"…Most of the damage in the academy has already begun to be rebuilt. The hole in the original bell tower was immediately surrounded and no one was allowed to approach. As for the time of repair, it will take about a week. The above is the latest status of the reconstruction project in the academy."

Percival reported to Edward holding a document, the content of which was nothing more than the current situation of the reconstruction of the college.

When Percival finished his report, Edward replied absentmindedly, "I see. Thank you for your hard work."

Percival actually understood Edward's absent-minded look.

After all, since the attack whose mastermind was still unclear, the final sacred shout coming from the basement of the academy undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.

There are many speculations, and the most popular version is that Edward, the president of the Royal Academy of Mechanics, successfully researched a divine machine and placed it in the basement of the academy. He suddenly shouted because he was disturbed by an intruder.

The reason why this version of the rumor is the most believable is because of the prophecy about this night party, and it is very logical if you think about it carefully, so this version of the rumor spread quickly.

Therefore, Edward was quite busy during this period. Not only did he have to deal with the temptations from different forces, but even the British royal family tried again and again to find out something from him.

Compared with this, it’s just a matter of rebuilding the academy, so it’s no wonder he doesn’t care much about it.

As someone he trusted, Percival could naturally see Edward's condition at the moment. He simply put together the information in his hand and threw it aside before saying, "So? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Thank you! Even so, I can only solve it by myself. Don't worry, if it's just this level, I can still handle it. Don't worry too much."

Edward appreciated Percival's kindness, but also said that he could still handle it.

Percival looked at Edward for a while, then said, "Well, if there's anything I can do to help you, just tell me..."

While the dean was in all kinds of trouble, Lei Zhen's situation was not much better.

The mission to search for Domon Kirara with Domon Hirin and others naturally ended in failure.

If the mission had just failed, that would have been fine, but it was clear that the Japanese military was not just thinking that way. They even wanted to hold Raijin responsible for the disappearance of Domon Kirara.

Even the reason was prepared, that is, the reason why Domon Kirara suddenly went to Liverpool secretly was to investigate Lei Zhen, the son-in-law. In order to prove this crime, the military even forged some letters. Lei Zhen naturally didn't want to take the blame for this sudden fall from the sky, but due to his identity as a military spy and the fact that he was able to study at the Royal Mechanical Academy because of the military's sponsorship, Lei Zhen had no way to resist.

But then the military went on to say that they were not devils and should still give Lei Zhen a chance to survive.

That is to let Raijin rely on his identity as Domon Hiruzen's fiancé and his goodwill to make Domon Hiruzen, the next head of the Izanagi clan, give up the responsibility of pursuing the disappearance of Domon Kirara. For this, Raijin really wants to say "I am really good at thanking you."

At this point, the military's plan was completely exposed, which was to use the relationship between Raijin and Domon Hirin to get rid of the military's responsibility for Domon Kirara's disappearance.

Naturally, Lei Zhen would not agree to this, but in order to complete his own revenge, he could not directly refuse the military. When he was planning to seek help from Hanayusai Shoko, the Japanese military "accidentally" leaked the matter to Domon Hirin.

Out of concern and love for Lei Zhen, Domon Nirin finally decided to agree to the Japanese military's "request" and no longer pursue the military's responsibility for the disappearance of his grandmother.

As the heir to the next head of the Izanagi clan, Domon Hinawa is qualified to agree to this "request", but this does not mean that other people in the clan will agree.

During her time as the head of the family, Kirara Domon's contributions to the entire Izanagi clan were obvious to all. Otherwise, after she had been missing for such a long time, all the Izanagi clan members would not have thought of giving up.

But now, Domon Hiruzen, her most beloved granddaughter and the next head of the family, has promised the military not to pursue their responsibility for the sake of an orphan of the Akabane family. This undoubtedly makes many Izanagi people feel disheartened.

Although the military has not said that it will give up the search for Domon Kirara's whereabouts, it is almost certain whether the military will waste manpower on this without holding anyone accountable.

Although it would not cause Domon Hirin to directly lose his position as heir, it would undoubtedly make the Izanagi clan in the country worried, wondering whether Domon Hirin was capable of leading the Izanagi clan.

Not to mention moving to a higher level, but at least being able to maintain the current reputation, status and wealth.

The same concerns naturally also appeared in the two guards of Ri Lun, namely Ang and Liu Lian. They only learned about their eldest lady's decision afterward.

As a member of the Izanagi clan, although Ang is impulsive, it does not mean that he has no political sensitivity at all. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Born into a large family and able to become the bodyguard of his own eldest daughter, his political sensitivity must be far above the average. So he naturally knows what consequences his eldest daughter's behavior will cause.

Ang was of course very angry about this, and he took two people from the Sixth Company to find Lei Zhen to ask for an explanation.

After hearing Ang's words, Lei Zhen also knew how much Ri Lun had sacrificed for him, but when he thought of the family hatred he carried, he could not give any guarantees and could only remain silent.

Ang naturally could not accept this and wanted to take action immediately. If the Sixth Company had not stopped him, his fist would have hit Lei Zhen's face. However, even so, the Sixth Company did not give Lei Zhen a good look. The two sides parted unhappily, and a crack appeared in the originally solid alliance.
