"teacher,"

"Kaito!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Haidou turned around abruptly.

In the distance, a cute little girl was waving and running towards him.

"Bubble!" The boy ran over excitedly.

Bubble is back!

"Are you alright?" Haidou looked Bubble up and down. The little girl was still very energetic even after not seeing her for a few days.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Locke walked over and said a few words of joy at first, then asked, "Where have you been these past few days? How did you get back?"

"Bubble was in the processing plant, and Coco brought me back!"

The little girl recounted what happened after she was kidnapped, and Locke listened with a thoughtful expression.

"I see. As for that catwoman, you'd better thank her properly, teacher," Locke said with a forced smile.

"Coco left after dropping Bubbles off nearby; she and Toka still have to look for jobs."

"Oh, what a pity."

It was unclear what Locke was regretting, but he added, "Now that Bubble is back, let's set off today. Bubble, come with me to the police station right away."

Leaving like this is certainly an option, but Locke is somewhat unhappy about it.

They felt like they were being used as pawns by the mastermind behind the scenes, so how could they not make things difficult for them?

In a secluded alley, Toka walked side by side with a man whose face was mostly covered by sunglasses.

Is it really possible not to pay?

The pig-headed man stared at the sunglasses that Coco had casually taken. "Here, take these back."

"Just throw it away," Coco said casually.

"Oh, there's something I've been meaning to tell you."

Catwoman stopped in her tracks and looked at Toka seriously: "I'm currently wanted by the police, and the money in my bank account has definitely been frozen."

Keke didn't take any chances. She had been working at that hotel for so long, and no one had shown up for so long. Anyone would know something was wrong.

"Uh"

Toka asked in surprise, "So the bank card you gave to Boss Morrison was actually useless?"

"Of course, if he takes it to withdraw money one day, he will definitely get into trouble with the police."

"..." The simple-minded pig-headed man was given a good lesson by Keke on his first day away from the processing plant.

"I'm broke right now, I can barely take care of myself. You should think carefully before deciding whether you want to come with me."

Keke thought for a moment, "I think that man treats you quite well, why don't you go back and continue cooking?"

"There's always a way," Toka said, seemingly optimistic.

"It's up to you. I've thought about what to do next carefully these past few days. Give me your opinion."

Having multiple companions around is always a good thing, as Toka is strong and capable, and can always come in handy.

"Although the police's warrant for my arrest has caused me a lot of trouble, there is one advantage."

Coco shared her thoughts: "After the kidnapping, I'll definitely become famous."

She chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I reckon many organizations think I'm the kind of person who's full of passion and willing to sacrifice my life for the future of demi-humans."

"I've decided to join them."

"Fighting for the future of demi-humans? That's great!" Toka exclaimed excitedly.

"No, I'm just trying to make a living."

Catwoman clicked her tongue; she'd never been the kind of hot-blooded person.

"Why are you so agitated? I didn't realize you were such an idealistic pig-headed man."

"I have an idea."

Although Toka had only been out for a short time, he sensed a certain malice.

Walking down the street, many people walked around him, looking at him with disdain.

"I think the outside looks a lot like a processing plant."

"Oh?" Koko's interest was piqued by Toka.

"The vast majority of people are cruel to us."

Toka recalled the plight of those pig-headed laborers and said slowly, "But there must be people who are willing to help us."

"Ha, you're stupid,"

The catwoman stopped talking; she was thinking of the manager of the maid cafe.

Whatever the reason, that human was indeed helping himself.

"Those who are willing to help us may not have pure good intentions, but that doesn't matter."

"As long as the world shows us even a little kindness, we are not without options."

Toka's face lit up. "I want to try. I want to change something in this country in my own way."

"Keke, if you're going to those organizations, please take me with you!" The pig-headed man bowed deeply to Keke.

'This guy's bragging way too much.'

Keke really wanted to tell a pig-headed person not to have unrealistic fantasies, but she ultimately didn't say it.

Perhaps, I also harbor similar fantasies in my heart.

"Come on then."

Coco sighed, "I just hope they don't end up crying and begging to go back."

"Ha ha"

Toka smiled. "How do we find those organizations?"

"Over the years, as the oppression of demi-humans has deepened, similar organizations have sprung up one after another."

"At first I thought those guys were just trying to stick together for warmth, but it seems some of them really want to make a name for themselves."

Coco frowned unhappily, thinking of the organization that used the kobolds.

"Large organizations are hard to find, but small organizations are plentiful. Since we don't have the channels, we have to join a small organization to settle down first."

"Let's go, I can still get in touch with one or two small groups."

Section 112, Chapter 111: I Don't Believe

"Overall, this trip was a great success."

On the way back, Locke pondered the events of the past few days.

Although they were caught up in a turmoil along the way, the students were all safe in the end. Moreover, there are pros and cons to such incidents.

"Ayaka, when you go back, take good care of Kaito."

"Okay." Unlike her usual casual reply, the girl was unusually serious this time.

She looked up at Locke with admiration. "I will do my best, teacher, don't worry."

See, that's how it is.

Ever since he displayed his prowess and drove away the hijackers, not only Ayaka but also the students on the bus have become increasingly respectful of him.

'If I'd known showing off my skills would have such a good effect, I would have done it sooner.'

Locke was somewhat speechless. He thought to himself, "Why does she always insist on doing things this way when I try to reason with her?"

"Teacher, how are the preparations going?" Cai Xiang asked eagerly.

She couldn't help but be enthusiastic, knowing that Professor Locke had secretly told her long ago that the Eye of Truth would be transferred to her.

She used to have no concept of the importance of doing things, and she would just do whatever Locke asked of her.

But things are different now!

The "eye of true knowledge" that such a brilliant teacher values ​​must be incredibly precious. Once I obtain it, then...

'Someday I want to become as amazing as my teacher, so I can do whatever I want in the city.'

Once you have an idea in mind, you'll naturally take it to heart.

"almost."

Locke's face was full of confidence. He was very satisfied with the results of his experiments on several demi-humans.

His research has made a major breakthrough, and it won't be long before the project can officially begin.

'The Eye of Truth is my father's creation, and I will not give it to you.' Locke thought of those guys from the Apocalyptic Cult, and a shadow fell over his heart.

For so many years, he deliberately hid in the remote town of Xintian to avoid the eyes and ears of the Tianqi Secret Sect.

He wasn't too worried about the Seven Rings Tower, since he was just a fugitive cultist and wouldn't be taken too seriously by that big organization.

But the Awakening Esoteric Sect is different; they possess something that the sect is determined to obtain.

Every day before, he worried that the esoteric sects might have some special means to find Haidou, and that they might suddenly come knocking on his door one day.

Burdened by immense mental pressure and tormented by nightmares, Locke relied solely on a single, unwavering belief—"Want the Eye of True Knowledge? I won't give it to you!"

Not only will I not give it to you, I will also give it to my heir, instead of leaving it to your so-called savior.

"I'll be counting on you from now on," Locke said to Ayaka with high hopes.

The girl simply nodded blankly, completely unable to comprehend Locke's complex emotions.

On the other side of the bus, Haidou seemed to be in a good mood.

Of everyone on the bus, he was probably the only one who disliked the trip.
