Magicians never make wishes

The news of the secretariat director's affair with his subordinate spread throughout the entire Mystic Arts Society in just one day.

Even some mentors who usually focus solely on research have heard about these rumors.

Next, all you need to do is submit the problematic runestone as evidence to the guild leader.

Therefore, the two who had an affair would basically be unable to escape the crime of murdering Arabella.

To prevent the president from taking the unusual route back through the window, Ronan simply poured more spiritual energy into the Primal Species, causing it to move further into the office.

Through the original seed's camera, he could know whether the chairman had returned.

The next morning.

Arabella appeared at the door of 761 early, and her knocking woke up the new lord of 762 next door.

"Secretary, it's so early in the morning, couldn't you have gotten a key to 761?" the new emperor said sleepily.

"Administrative staff are not allowed to obtain keys to trainees' accommodations without authorization," Arabella said.

"Let him marry you off, what kind of relationship is that?" The new ruler said matter-of-factly.

"If you ask me, you two might as well just live together..."

"Don't talk nonsense..." Arabella's face turned red instantly.

Saying they'll live together? That's moving way too fast.

"What do you mean, living together?" Ronan poked his head out.

This time, he quickly washed up before opening the door to avoid being teased by the other party again.

"It's nothing." Arabella pushed him into the house and quickly closed the door.

The new king yawned, about to go inside for a nap, when he saw Darcy hurrying over from a distance...

"Weren't we going out?" Ronan knew.

Arabella came to go to the president's office with her.

Although he knew the president hadn't returned, he figured he had to take the updated manuscript to the president's office anyway, and maybe the president would just happen to return during that time.

dong dong dong.

Before Arabella could speak, the knocking on the door started again.

Ronan opened the door and saw Darcy standing next to the new emperor.

"Is something the matter, Darcy?"

"Um..." The new ruler glanced very subtly at Arabella inside the room, then frantically gave Ronan meaningful looks. "Why don't you come out and say it?"

Ronan clearly didn't understand what he meant, and said with a smile, "Why don't you come in and talk? Arabella isn't an outsider."

It would be better if it were an outsider...

The new emperor slapped his forehead and gave up struggling.

As soon as Darcy entered the house, he loudly announced his purpose: "Lord Black Day, your ex-wife has come to see you."

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

After Darcy finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill for no reason.

"Where did I get an ex-wife?" Ronan asked, puzzled. "Did you get the wrong person?"

"I'm not sure, but she's a human female who can describe what you look like."

Darcy added, "He said it's your ex-wife from your hometown, and she's waiting for you in the lobby right now."

"Then let's go to the lobby and take a look." Arabella's tone was devoid of any emotion.

"Alright." Ronan nodded. He thought for a moment and vaguely guessed who the newcomer was.

The group rushed into the hall.

Ronan saw a pale-faced girl wrapped in a black cloak.

"What brings you here, Perry?"

Ronan's comment directly confirmed his ex-wife's statement.

The new emperor immediately closed his eyes, thinking to himself, "It's over."

"Come with me." Perry grabbed Ronan's hand, trying to pull him to a secluded place.

"Why don't we talk about it here? We're all family here." Arabella grabbed Ronan's sleeve.

"Who is it?" Perry looked at Arabella, who was wearing a huge bombshell on her chest, and puffed out her chest defiantly, asking, "Your lover?"

"You came here just to spread rumors about me?" Ronan was speechless.

Perry leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'm a mercenary. I'm coming to your hideout to find you, so I need to have a proper identity."

"If you don't tell me, how will anyone know you're a mercenary?" Ronan retorted.

"That's not necessarily true. I'm quite famous." Perry had a dismissive look on her face, as if to say, "What do you know?"

"Can't you change your identity? Say you're her younger sister or something?"

"Why don't you go look in the mirror and compare the huge difference in our appearances?"

Ronan: "..."

Is it my fault that this face isn't handsome?

"Enough with the small talk, I've come here to tell you something important."

Her expression turned serious as she said, "Remember that Ruby Dream Pavilion we shut down before?"

"Of course, how did your previous operation go?" Ronan asked, having not received any further information.

"Things went smoothly until now. Although the people from other places have disappeared, the girls were rescued and are currently resting at the Earl's Manor..."

"That's great," Ronan joked. "Did you raze that place to the ground?"

"That's the crux of the problem." Perry's face darkened as she continued, "After being attacked by the Earl, the Ruby Dream Pavilion underwent a complete overhaul and arrested a large number of people responsible..."

"I thought that place was closed, but when I checked yesterday, I found that it had a new sign that read 'Sapphire Dream Pavilion' and had reopened."

"What's going on?" Ronan's expression turned serious.

"I sneaked in last night to investigate, but I didn't find out anything else. However, I did hear some news related to you."

"What's it to me?"

"Someone in the society wants to kill you," Perry said seriously, turning to ask.

"Who exactly did you offend?"

Ronan's face was ashen; he also wanted to know who his specific enemy was.

The traps set for him before seemed to be inextricably linked to the school.

The employer at that time had just returned from the academy, and the trap he set for him was carried out by the academy's members.

"I don't know either." Ronan shook his head, then asked, "Did you see who said that?"

"I only heard someone call his name, and then I was discovered. I almost couldn't escape..."

Suddenly, Perry opened her black cloak, revealing a blood-soaked dress and a battered body beneath.

"Are you alright?!" Ronan was startled and immediately went over to help her sit down.

"Why didn't you get some treatment first before coming here?"

Ronan immediately cast several "healing spells" on her.

In an instant, green orbs of light emerged from his palm and flew swiftly toward Pei Li's wound, greatly alleviating her condition.

"I'm afraid if I'm too late, you'll be killed first," Perry said with a smile.

"You can still laugh?" Ronan's face was frighteningly dark. "Who is it?"

"I didn't see his face, I only heard people call him Lord Parker."

Ronan's heart skipped a beat. It was him? He was still alive...

Parker is just an ordinary person; there must be someone behind him, and it's very likely that person is in the academy.

"Arabella, could Perry recuperate at my place for a while?"

Ronan didn't know whether the Society allowed outsiders to live there.

"Lord Black Day, family members of students are allowed to live in the Academy," Darcy reminded him from the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold, icy gaze pierce through him.

"Darcy, you go ahead and get busy," Arabella said with a smile, her voice carrying a hint of assertiveness.

"Mr. Black Day is involved in a case, and the specific arrangements will be decided by the Secretariat."

Darcy nodded and fled as if escaping.

"Is it okay, Arabella?" Ronan looked at her hopefully.

In order to deliver the news, Perry even neglected to heal her own wounds, so she couldn't just let her go back like that.

"Sure, but you'll have to make me a key to your place first."

Arabella added, "This way it will be easier for me to come and pick up the manuscript later..."

"Okay." Ronan nodded and said to Perry, "You're so badly injured, don't run around. Come to my place and get better first."

"Food and lodging included? I knew I hadn't made a mistake coming here..."

With a sense of relief, Perry was overcome with exhaustion and fell asleep on Ronan's back.

……

After settling Perry into 761, Ronan and Arabella headed to the president's office.

"Don't get me wrong, Perry isn't my ex-wife, she is..." Ronan explained, feeling it necessary to prove his innocence.

"Perry Fenrir, former vice-captain of the Ironblood Mercenary Group, is one of the inheritors of the Fenrir family bloodline..." Arabella began to introduce.

"So you knew."

Moreover, they know more about the other party than they do themselves.

"Your ex-wife is quite famous in Moonless City," Arabella said calmly.

"I've already said she's not my ex-wife..."

As the two talked, they were not far from the president's office.

But then a figure appeared ahead.

He was wearing a uniform that Ronan had never seen in the academy before. Unlike the students, whose collars were in various colors, this one had two six-pointed stars on either side.

Ronan had seen it in the academy's hierarchy handbook; it was a uniform that only instructors could wear.

"Are you the daylight?"

Upon seeing Ronan and his companion, the newcomer calmly approached them and asked in a composed tone.

"Yes, that's me." Ronan nodded.

Arabella whispered in his ear, looking somewhat embarrassed, "This is our mentor, 'Blood Duke'."

Blood Lord...

Ronan thought for a moment and immediately understood.

This is the victim of the affair where Director Dick and Secretary Lena were cheated on...

Arabella quietly tugged at Ronan from behind, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

"So you're the one who found out my wife was having an affair?"

Blood Duke asked slowly and deliberately, and Ronan could not detect any emotion in his tone.

"Blood Lord Mentor, that was just an accident, we..."

Arabella stepped forward and had only explained half of it when she suddenly discovered that a blood-red thread had pierced through her chest.

puff.

A metallic taste rose in her throat, followed by a gush of blood.

Her pupils began to dilate, her vision gradually blurred, and she slowly collapsed as if all her strength had been drained away.

She wanted to shout, but she couldn't utter a sound. She could only stare in Ronan's direction, the cry in her heart echoing again and again.

Run!

Run!
