In the snowy plains of the North, if someone dies there and is buried under the ice and snow, who would know?
They can just say they got separated by accident and went missing, leaving no way to prove anything.
Connor felt that Emery still wanted to kill him, right during this hunting trial.
However, after careful consideration, Connor accepted the invitation.
Firstly, this was indeed a rare opportunity for him. He had been Amelie's fiancé for more than two years, and this was the first time he had attended a real gathering of the Federation's top circles. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
But more importantly, Connor decided to reconcile with Emerald... or to put it bluntly, he came to beg Emerald for forgiveness.
He wanted to have a serious talk with Amelie, and as long as Amelie didn't break off the engagement, he would be willing to be Amelie's dog in the future.
So even now, when Emery publicly berates him like a dog, Connor doesn't show the slightest anger; instead, he smiles obsequiously.
"You're right, I was wrong, I should have come sooner..."
Snapped!Snapped!
After saying that, Connor slapped himself twice, showing a very humble attitude.
However, this only made Emerald hate Connor even more, to the point that she almost wanted to stomp him to death right then and there... it was just too humiliating.
Emery glanced back at Starling, and as expected, Starling's eyes were practically overflowing with schadenfreude.
"Alright, come in quickly!"
With Amelie personally intervening, the restaurant staff naturally stopped stopping Connor and his bodyguards from entering the restaurant.
Connor knew he had angered Emerald, so he wisely avoided going to Emerald's table and instead sat down at an empty table with two bodyguards.
The commotion at the restaurant entrance turned those who were initially curious about Emerald's fiancé into disdain for Connor, dispelling any thoughts of befriending him.
However, Connor did not give up his ambition. He sat quietly at the table drinking tea, but his eyes kept scanning the restaurant, looking for someone he could make friends with.
Unfortunately, everyone who makes eye contact with Connor immediately looks away, and most women even glare at him angrily, as if they've seen something dirty.
Connor gritted his teeth, his heart hardened, and he reaffirmed his determination to climb the social ladder at all costs and attain a higher status.
. . . . .
After all the invited guests had arrived, the event's organizer, Ark Lowhid of the Lowhid family, finally appeared, accompanied by another elegant woman in a robe, his wife Kerry Parker, the daughter of a federal food industry tycoon.
Yak Lohid is in his early 30s and has been married for over four years. He is very composed and quite handsome.
Upon his arrival, he naturally greeted Amelie first, addressing her as brother and sister in accordance with the custom of the Lohid and Melson families, displaying great friendliness and warmth.
Not only that, Yak even treated Connor with great politeness and respect, which made Connor feel very flattered and also made some people in the restaurant take a second look at Connor.
After greeting everyone and exchanging a few pleasantries, Ark led the group to meet up with the teachers and students of the Lohid Magic Academy.
The teachers and students of Lohid Magic Academy numbered around 70, roughly twice the number of guests.
Nearly 50 of them were students, the vast majority of whom were still magic apprentices, but a few geniuses were already formal magicians.
There were also a dozen or so adults, all teachers at the Lohid Magic Academy. They were all formal magicians, and each of them had a magical power level comparable to Viliana's.
Each of these teachers is responsible for 3 to 4 students, protecting them during the hunt and instructing them on combat skills.
The only one who seemed out of place on the edge of the crowd was an old man in a professor's robe, but he was holding a woman's dressing mirror, which looked rather strange.
However, no one dared to underestimate him, much less laugh at his actions, because he was the only known strongman in the team, a human archmage.
Emerald had never seen him before, so she curiously glanced at him a few times, and then looked at him more seriously.
Unexpectedly, the old man immediately sensed something. A shrewd glint flashed in his eyes, and to Ark's surprise, he took the initiative to walk over and greet Emery.
"Young lady, you must be Miss Melson's? Impressive... Young people these days are really something, hahaha..."
Seen through?
Amelie was also startled. The last person who could see through her hidden strength at a glance was the old lich Granny Ya.
However, Emery's expression remained unchanged; she simply gave a very ladylike bow.
"Greetings, sir. I'll be counting on you to take good care of me during this hunt."
"Haha... No problem, no problem."
The old man seemed to understand Amelie's reluctance to reveal her strength, and said nothing more, only smiling mysteriously before looking at Julia, and then surprise flashed in his eyes again:
"You're... pursuing the path of body and soul unity? Interesting, interesting... I never thought I'd live to see Uri's successor."
He actually knows Uri?
Emery was genuinely surprised. In her memory, none of the old guys who knew Uri in the original game were simple people.
After staring at the old man closely for a couple more moments, Emerald realized that this old man was not the same person as the great mage who served as the guard for the hunting party in the original game! The plot had changed!
However, Emerald glanced at Julia beside her... Even the original protagonist of Destiny has become like this now, so it's normal for an NPC in a side story to change, right?
Judging from the fact that the old man knows Uri, his strength is likely to be stronger than that of the Lothid Archmage who accompanied the hunting party in the original game... Will the vengeful Shadow Dragon still have a chance?
It seems the plan needs some adjustments to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Amelie chatted with the old man for a few more minutes and learned that the old man called himself Mirror. The teachers and students of Lohid Magic Academy called him Mr. Mirror, as did Ark and his wife.
According to the old man in the mirror, he and Uli were not close. They had only met once when they were young and traveling to cultivate, and together they had defeated a powerful monster. That was all.
It sounded fine, but Emerald felt something was off about this old man in the mirror... Was he really a top-tier expert like Granny Ya? He didn't seem like it...
"Sister! Sister~~"
While Amelie was still pondering the old man in the mirror, a little pink-haired creature suddenly rushed out from the group of teachers and students of the Lohid Magic Academy and pounced on Amelie.
"Lulu?"
Amelie was somewhat surprised, but she still skillfully caught and picked up Lulu, then glanced at Ark-Lohid not far away before frowning and asking Lulu:
"Why are you here too? If I remember correctly, only fourth-year students and above can participate in the hunting trials at Lohid Magic Academy. Lulu, you're only a second-year student, right?"
"Hehe~~"
Lulu squirmed a few times in Emery's arms, adjusting herself to a comfortable position, before giggling in a deliberately cute way:
"Of course, she really wanted to come out and play with her sister, so she made an exception to participate... Oh dear!"
"to be frank!"
Emery remained unmoved, her face still stern, as she pinched Lulu's soft flesh through her white stockings.
"Mmm~~"
Lulu puffed out her cheeks and made faces at Emerald with her eyelids pulled back, until she saw Emerald reach out to pinch her again, then she quickly begged for mercy:
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you... It's nothing really. A few days ago, I accidentally sneaked into Director Ark's office and saw him writing invitations. One of the invitations was for you, sister... So I asked Director Ark to let me come along. He's a handsome and kind teacher, so he agreed!"
"...Is that so, Brother Ark?"
Emerald did not believe it and looked again at Ark-Lohid, who had already walked over.
"The result is fine, but the process is another matter."
Ark chuckled softly, then looked at Lulu with a rather stern expression:
"If I remember correctly, Luviria, you were reprimanded in my office that day for bullying a fourth-year student. It wasn't that you accidentally sneaked in. Afterwards, Kerry came to see me, and I left for a few minutes. You took the opportunity to rummage through my desk and happened to see the invitation I wrote to your sister... So you threatened me, saying that if I criticized you again, you would make your sister refuse my invitation, right, Luviria?"
"Goo~~"
Lulu let out a mournful cry and huddled into Amelie's arms.
"You little brat! You're really audacious! If Madam finds out you've been doing these things at school, she'll definitely hang you up and whip you again!"
Emerald immediately gave Lulu a stern scolding before giving Ark a very ladylike apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry, Brother Ark... Lulu has been spoiled by her family since she was little, and I'm sorry to have troubled you at school."
"...It's nothing really."
Yak chuckled softly, his manner remaining gentle and refined.
"Given the relationship between our two families, Lulu is practically my younger sister. I think it's cute for a younger sister to be a little mischievous, it's not a big problem... But school is school after all. I hope you, Emery, can teach Lulu a lesson and make sure she doesn't go too far when she bullies her older sister, at least so that the person being bullied doesn't end up crying and threatening to kill herself and going to the teacher to complain."
"Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson, Brother Yak!"
Emerald quickly made a statement like a parent whose child had been complained about by the teacher, but she showed no intention of handing Lulu over, instead continuing to hold her:
"So, how about Lulu comes with me on this hunt?"
"Right on my mind."
Yak nodded:
“Each teacher in our college has to take care of 3 to 4 students, which is still not enough. It would be great if Lulu could stay by your side.”
After that, Ark didn't say anything more, but just glanced at Lulu, who was shrinking back, before turning around and leaving to talk to someone else.
Once Ark was out of sight, Lulu poked her head out again, pulled her eyelids back, stuck out her tongue, and made a face at Ark's retreating figure.
"Hmph, you lowly director, what else can you do besides sue parents? You're such a coward!"
Snapped!
Emery flicked Lulu's head and said irritably:
"You call others trash? You're the trash yourself! I bullied plenty of older and younger students when I was in school, but I was never reported to the school or my parents. How come you're considered trash?"
"Goo!"
Lulu immediately clutched her forehead, which had been flicked, and was speechless.
Lulu had heard about what Emery had done at the Federal Noble Girls' Academy. In fact, it was precisely because she admired her sister's past glory that she bullied her senior at her own school.
"Okay, tell me about it."
Seeing that the group would probably have to wait a while before setting off, Emerald put Lulu down from her arms, pinched her cheek, and asked:
"what is going on?"
"...It's nothing really."
Lulu pouted, seemingly reluctant, but still spoke:
“一开始是一个因为有点天赋就被学校收了进来的穷小子,他竟然癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉给我写情书……那我把他的情书当众撕碎,再把他揍一顿挂在树上很正常吧?”
"Yes, that's normal."
Emery nodded:
“露露你再怎么说也是梅尔森家族的千金,一个才刚进学院的魔法学徒就敢给你写情书,确实是找揍……然后呢?我相信亚克哥哥也是明白事理的人,不会因为这种事批评你的。”
"Well, the teachers didn't say anything about it. On the contrary, that poor boy seemed to have been severely scolded by his teacher afterward, and he became very depressed."
Lulu first shrugged, then gritted her teeth and said:
"But this fourth-grader has to meddle in other people's business! He's just a disciplinary committee member, what's so great about him? He even dared to lecture me and criticize me by name, making me lose face in front of my classmates!"
"Disciplinary Committee member..."
A smile played on Amelie's lips. She remembered that Judy had been a disciplinary committee member and had been ordered to arrest her for having a party in the sports warehouse, but she had pretended not to have found anything.
It seems the disciplinary committee at Lulu's school is quite stubborn; they actually dare to lecture and publicly criticize Melson's daughter in public.
"And then? How did you bully that disciplinary committee member, even alarming your brother Ark, who is the head of the teaching department, and he had to personally call you into his office to criticize you?"
Amelie pressed on with some curiosity.
"Hehe...it's nothing really."
Lulu seemed to realize she had gone a bit too far, and her voice suddenly softened:
“That scumbag embarrassed me, so of course I had to get my revenge. I spent money to find out about her and learned that she had a boyfriend at school and the two of them would occasionally meet up.”
"I bribed her boyfriend's friend to secretly place a tracking spell on him, which successfully tracked down one of her secret rendezvous."
"I hid in the shadows and, just like you do when you make movies, recorded the whole process of her and her boyfriend's rendezvous... Tsk tsk, you have no idea, sister, that disciplinary committee member who is so serious when criticizing others is completely passionate when she's having a rendezvous with her boyfriend."
"So I made many copies of the video of her rendezvous and secretly circulated them around school to show everyone... I also sent the video to several brothels, lying to the owners that I wanted to earn some part-time work, and left them my contact information..."
