Chapter Forty Avril

Several more days passed.

During these past few days, Bai Ye continued to visit the top of the Garden Tower in Victoria as if it were a daily routine.

It is worth mentioning that on the second day, Gurevan, unable to withstand the pressure from the media, sought out Victorique and asked her to help him find the two escaped women.

However, Victorica, who had already been warned by Bai Ye, simply replied that she didn't know.

Of course, Victorica really didn't know either, since Bai Ye's methods couldn't be deduced at all.

Finally, because he was unable to find the missing prisoner, the police department withheld six months' salary, and the matter was finally brought to an end.

Besides the matter of Gureven, there is another person that Bai Ye finds most annoying these past two days.

That was Cecil, Baiye's teacher.

Because Bai Ye had been skipping classes every day since the second day of school to go see Victoria.

Cecil would go to Bai Ye's dormitory every day to try and drag Bai Ye to class.

Cecil also told Bai Ye that if he didn't go to class, he might be forcibly sent back to his country by the school because of his high absenteeism rate.

Of course, Bai Ye, whose enrollment status was borrowed from some unknown kind-hearted boy, had no country to which he could be deported.

However, in order not to lose this place where he was somewhat satisfied, Bai Ye ultimately chose to compromise, attending classes for half a day every morning and then spending the afternoon chatting with Victoria.

Then today, Bai Ye arrived at the classroom as usual. Amidst the exclamations of his classmates that "Black Death has arrived," Bai Ye prepared to catch up on his sleep again.

However, this happened shortly after Bai Ye lay down.

Professor Cecil then led a blond-haired exchange student onto the podium.

"Hello everyone, my name is Avril Bradley, and I'm an international student from the UK. My favorite things are ghost stories and adventures. Please take care of me!"

The familiar name instantly dispelled the drowsiness Bai Ye had accumulated from a night of intense battle with Xiao Sheng.

Upon hearing the name Avril, Bai Ye immediately recalled the plot involving the young girl.

Avril Bradley, who can also be considered one of the female protagonists in the original novel, is the granddaughter of a famous British explorer.

However, the person on the stage in front of us is probably not Avril Lavigne herself.

Looking at the beauty mark on the corner of the blonde girl's mouth on the podium, Bai Ye was quite certain of his guess.

According to Bai Ye's recollection of the plot, Avril was likely targeted by the second-generation phantom thief, Chiaran, when she enrolled in school because of an extremely valuable stamp that her grandfather had hidden in the school.

Kiaran tied the girl up and threw her into the school's abandoned warehouse, while he himself, posing as Avril, went to the school to search for the stamp.

Wait a minute, why does this plot sound so familiar?

Why is it so similar to my own experience of entering school? The Blind Monk of the White Night finally discovered the key point.

Forget about whether it looks like it or not, saving lives is the most important thing right now.

Just thinking about how there is a pitiful female protagonist right now, bound hand and foot and imprisoned in a dark warehouse, without food or water, and unable to even go to the toilet.

This is practically a chance for heaven to save the damsel in distress!

With this thought in mind, Bai Ye completely forgot about things like going to class or sleeping. For Bai Ye, nothing was more important than winning over the female protagonist of anime.

Bai Ye glanced at the imposter on the podium and immediately stood up.

"what..."

Bai Ye's sudden action startled the other students in the classroom.

"It's... the Black Reaper!"

Why did he suddenly stand up?

"I heard that the Black Reaper attracted the Ghost Queen Bailey a few days ago, and quite a few people died!"

"Judging from the Black Reaper's current appearance, is something about to happen again?"

"..."

Regardless of the whispers among the students in the classroom, Ms. Sephir, who was standing on the podium and saw Bai Ye get up, asked in confusion.

"Bai Ye, what's going on?"

"Teacher, I'm not feeling well and I'd like to go to the infirmary."

Bai Ye gave a very casual reply, then got up and walked towards the classroom door.

"Are you feeling unwell? But isn't the infirmary in this direction? Why are you heading towards the back of the mountain?"

When Ms. Sephir first heard Bai Ye say that she was not feeling well, she was a little confused.

But when he saw Bai Ye start jogging after leaving the classroom, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"That Bai Ye classmate, wait..."

Teacher Cecil wanted to speak up to stop her, but Bai Ye's figure was already out of sight.

Recalling Bai Ye's swift departure and Bai Ye's excuse of feeling unwell, Teacher Cecil stood at the classroom door, covering her face and sighing helplessly.

Does this guy seem to be feeling a little unwell?

This scene was witnessed by the phantom thief Giaran, who had just finished introducing himself on the stage.

Seeing Bai Ye's unconventional behavior, Kiaran couldn't help but sigh, "Why are all the international students at this school so...strange!"

Yes, that's strange.

Bai Ye's inexplicable actions reminded Chiaran of the girl he had replaced, who was also a student studying abroad.

At the time, I was just on the train to Suvarnadez when I saw the girl looking like a newcomer and I said a few words to her.

This somewhat outgoing girl actually started asking him all sorts of questions and chatting away.

Just when he was starting to feel that the girl was a bit annoying and wanted to just give her a quick reply and leave,

Unexpectedly, this girl named Avril directly told him, an outsider, that she was coming to this school to find the enormous treasure her grandfather had left behind.

The girl's honesty left even the phantom thief, Kiaran, somewhat bewildered.

No?

Young lady, didn't your family tell you the principle of not flaunting your wealth?

Of course, despite being bewildered, he wouldn't give up this windfall.

So, when he got off the bus, he drugged the girl, knocked her unconscious, tied her up, and threw her into an abandoned warehouse to fend for herself.

She then naturally impersonated a young girl to come to the school in search of the inheritance.

That concludes the recollection. Ignoring the commotion in the classroom caused by Bai Ye's departure, Kiaran immediately announced that he had finished introducing himself.

Then, under Cecil's arrangement, he went down to the empty seat next to the boy who had run away earlier, sat down and began to study.

And what about Bai Ye right now?

Kiaran, the phantom thief, began to study diligently, while Bai Ye, the Holy Son, chose to skip classes and wander around the grounds of St. Margaret Academy.

Of course, Bai Ye was searching for the abandoned warehouse where the girl Avril was imprisoned.

"I remember it was in the back mountain, in that abandoned warehouse that's rumored to be haunted by ghosts..."

"Let me see... I found it."

Throughout the journey, Bai Ye kept asking the school staff about the rumors of ghosts and hauntings.

I walked all the way to the depths of the woods behind the school and finally saw the warehouse that had been rumored to be haunted for the past two days.

Looking back now, this so-called ghost story was probably deliberately spread by the phantom thief Kiaran to prevent others from getting close! He took advantage of the people's fascination with ghost stories.

"Squeak~"

Bai Ye swaggered open the dilapidated wooden door, worn and decayed by time.

As if hearing the noise of someone approaching, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound suddenly came from the warehouse.

Knowing the plot in advance, Bai Ye wasn't afraid. He simply walked to the middle of the warehouse and lifted a dilapidated wooden plank from where the sound was coming from.

Sure enough, right below the wooden board, there was a cute girl with short blonde hair, bound hand and foot.

It seems that because Bai Ye found her relatively early, the girl still had some strength left to struggle.

The moment she realized that Bai Ye had found her, the girl excitedly cried out "woo woo woo~" and her body began to writhe incessantly.

Seeing this, Bai Ye simply smiled slightly and reached out to untie the girl's ropes.

"Ugh!"

Just as the rope was untied, the girl finally saw the handsome figure of her savior.

Without thinking twice, the girl, who had been feeling wronged all day, threw herself into Bai Ye's arms and began to sob.

"help me!"

"Waaaah~ That woman, waaaah~ That woman, she's impersonating me!"

"Because I told her about Grandpa's inheritance at this school! Waaah~"

While gently patting the girl's back, Bai Ye began to comfort her.

"Don't worry, it's alright. Now that I've rescued you, that guy's scheme won't succeed."

As he spoke, Bai Ye patted the head of the girl, Avril.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to a golden fairy. With her help, your problem should be solved much faster."

"Ok!"

Hearing Bai Ye's suggestion, the girl nodded obediently.

......

Chapter 41 The Headless Horseman Chronicles

"So, this is why you brought other women here without permission?"

At this moment, Victorique put on a stern face, gripped her pipe tightly in her hand, and sat condescendingly on her small cabinet where she hid her snacks.

He looked down on Avril, who was sitting on the ground eating snacks, as if he was going to teach the vixen in front of him a lesson.

Of course, Avril, who had been starving all day, didn't care about Victorique's accusatory attitude of catching her husband cheating. She just kept eating the snacks that White Night kept producing from the Holy Lance space.

When Avril occasionally glanced up at Victorique, she even found the little girl, who looked like a doll, somewhat adorable when she was angry.

"I just thought you, Victorique, might be interested in this, right?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Victoria is so bored during class, I could have easily taken care of this myself."

Bai Ye raised his hand and patted Victoria's head as well.

"Hmph! Don't touch me."

Victorique pushed away Bai Ye's groping hands. Although she still seemed a little jealous, she had clearly accepted Bai Ye's words about relieving her boredom.

"Then let's talk about it! About your grandfather's inheritance."

"Ah... I, oh!"

While Avril was indulging in a hearty meal, she suddenly turned the conversation to herself when she heard the little girl on the counter.

At first, I was a little stunned and didn't react. I chewed the food in my mouth a couple of times before swallowing it.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately began to tell the two of them.

"Actually, my grandfather told me in his last words that what she left me was hidden in a book in this school cemetery."

"Cemetery?"

Victorique took a small puff of her pipe, her intuition telling her that something very interesting was about to happen in this cemetery.

"Sizzle!"
