Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

In response to You Xian's question, Iris fell silent for a moment.

She is a person who will never lie. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Her words are always as correct and cold as the standard answers.

So she would never make up a lie to fool You Xian's question when she herself didn't even know the answer.

So all she could do was...

He took out the stack of documents from his bag and placed them in front of Youxian:

"In short, I found some problems during the investigation. Although I can't be sure, there are indeed some doubts about her and her subordinates."

"Their independence and closedness in the Synchronicity Academy are too strong."

"The turnover of personnel under Sophia can almost be described as pitiful. Although her staff has increased to a certain extent over time, there is still a big gap compared to other departments of the Synchronicity Academy."

It was a very abrupt way to change the subject, but at this moment Iris couldn't think of a better way to handle it, so she just let it be abrupt.

Suppressing the embarrassment in her heart, Iris placed the first stack of information in front of You Xian as she spoke.

"You...actually did an investigation."

Feeling increasingly strange, You Xian took the information Iris handed him and casually flipped through two pages.

This information roughly records the personnel changes under Sophia, and every time someone leaves or joins is recorded in that information.

Not only that, the specific information of people who quit and joined is also recorded in detail, which can be said to be completely clear.

It can be seen from the information that although the personnel have indeed been changing, these changing personnel have always been rotating within their organization.

Maybe someone is transferred to another department today, but will be transferred back in three to five years. However, due to the long time interval, these transfers are not very noticeable.

Moreover, most of the information about those people was very wrong, as if part of it was missing? At least in You Xian's opinion, the possibility of forgery was quite high.

"But if that's all, it's still far from suspicious."

You Xian picked up the stack of information, glanced through it roughly, and then put it back into Iris's hands.

"You are also aware of the previous situation of the Synchronicity Academy. In such a chaotic situation, Sophia must need a lot of supporters to protect herself. Therefore, it is not surprising that she would cultivate her own power in private."

"In fact, her people did play a role in the invasion of The Shining Assembly."

"And your investigative method...is it a bit..."

The level of detail in this information is definitely not as simple as "I suspected she had a problem, so I just checked it out."

This is basically an operation that is used only when one is sure that the other party has a problem and is determined to collect evidence. It is just short of digging out the genealogy of the other party's ancestry. It is hard to imagine what kind of requirements Iris gave to make the investigators investigate to this extent.

So Youxian's mood became more and more strange at this moment. What on earth was Iris trying to do? Was she really targeting Sophia?

Wouldn't that mean we could watch women fighting... No, a civil war would break out.

Sophia shook her head slightly and answered again:

"Of course I found more evidence than this. I won't judge others based on some unfounded evidence. I came here today because I found more important clues."

“This is it. It has…”

However, just as she was about to say something else and take out another document from her bag, a voice interrupted her words and actions.

"Evidence that I am a Dark Duelist? I also want to know what evidence there is that can prove that I am related to the Dark Duelist."

Along with this sound, the closet door in Youxian's room was suddenly pushed open.

Then, a girl in a white dress appeared in front of the two people under the light.

As for her identity...yes, she is Sophia herself.

You Xian looked at the wardrobe and then at the girl in front of him with a stunned look on his face, and spoke in a daze:

"You...why are you here?"

"Because I think you are hiding something from me, and it involves me. So of course I will do whatever it takes to get the truth I want."

"It's totally worthwhile to spend a little effort to get the truth. In order to get the truth I want, I will use all the means I think are necessary."

As if she was completely unaware of the severity of her operational problems, the girl who broke into a private house calmly explained to You Xian and then turned her attention to Iris who was trying to "reveal the truth" not far away.

"So, what evidence is there that proves that I am related to the Dark Duelist?"

As she said this, she glanced meaningfully at the table in Youxian's room that had been transformed from Novia, and it was obvious that she knew everything that had just happened.

Chapter 180: Sophia's attack power UP!

In the room at night, the Baroque-style decoration highlights luxury and elegance. The golden carvings leap out from the wall, forming complex patterns, as if it is an exhibition hall of works of art. The crystal pendants on the chandelier sparkle with court-like brilliance, adding a grand atmosphere to the room.

The sofa and armchairs are covered in soft velvet in a tone that matches the wallpaper. In one corner of the room there is a small coffee table with books and magazines, next to which is a row of bookshelves displaying ancient tomes and exquisite decorative items.

As a chairman's room, this is definitely not bad.

However, the owner of the room had no time to care about these things at the moment, and had no intention of enjoying himself at all.

Youxian's perception ability is not bad. The power of elves not only brings him strong physical fitness and certain powers beyond humans, but also makes his perception ability much stronger.

Although it is not as outrageous as cheating in some FPS games, it would be difficult for someone to avoid being discovered if they hid in his room.

It was as if Novia had been discovered as soon as she sneaked into the room. You Xian was confident enough that he would not be ambushed by anyone.

However...Sophia's appearance completely broke Youxian's cognition.

If Sophia had been hiding in his closet all this time, then You Xian probably would not have thought until today that there was a second person in his room - he would have been under surveillance the entire day.

How did she do it? Simply hiding in a closet should be useless to You Xian.

And judging from her expression, she seemed to fully understand what had happened. At least she knew the conversation between her and Novia just now, and even Novia's current location. Therefore, it would be impossible to fool her with lies.

Damn it, I had been deceived by Sophia's "innocent" performance and completely forgot that Sophia herself was also a dark duelist who was not bound by common sense.

But who could have guessed that this guy would be so...

Feeling that the situation was rapidly getting out of his control, You Xian finally felt a sense of powerlessness.

There were already four people crammed into his small room, and each of them was not an easy person to deal with.

Fortunately, it was not just You Xian who was embarrassed. Iris was also in an awkward situation.

As the most central area of ​​the "spiral of embarrassment", Iris felt that she was in an extremely unfavorable situation.

It's like being caught red-handed when you're about to tell tales, but you can't prove that the other person really has a problem, so you're instantly embarrassed.

She hesitated for a few seconds, and finally spoke in a low voice before Sophia's expression became increasingly strange:

"I'm only thinking about Youxian and Shenghua, and you do seem suspicious..."

Pale and weak, this seems to be the most appropriate description of Iris. Not only Sophia and You Xian, but even Iris herself knows how ridiculous it is to say this at this time.

As a result, her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was as barely audible as the buzz of a mosquito.

But before Youxian and Sophia's expressions became more strange, she suddenly raised her head again:

"If you had been eavesdropping in the closet just now, you should have heard my thoughts."

"I don't want Shenghua to go through what Super Academy went through again."

"For this, even if I suspect a possibly innocent person, it's worth it. Is that hard to understand?!"

"Besides, are you really as innocent as you appear?"

Perhaps because she was totally determined, Iris completely gave up on being embarrassed and even her voice became much louder.

Putting the stack of documents on the bed, Iris flipped through them one by one in the direction of the light in the room, and continued to speak hurriedly as she flipped through them:

"These are all the information I had people find. The information above is enough to prove that you or someone in your organization has had contact with or even traded with a dark duelist."

"If you want to prove that you are not at fault, then you must at least explain what is written here. Otherwise, I will have to treat you as a suspected Dark Duelist. Please understand."

"The negative impact of the Dark Duelists on the academy is immeasurable, so we must not let them go easily. It is worth it even if I bear some bad reputation for this."

Well, it seemed like that, but when Iris said the last sentence, her voice began to get smaller and smaller, and finally fell completely silent.

The room crammed with four people fell into a brief silence again.

However, this time it was Youxian, who had been trying to reduce his presence from the beginning, who broke the silence:

"let me see."

Having said this, You Xian casually picked up the stack of documents from the side and glanced through them.

Things were just as Iris said, this document did record a lot of contacts between the Dark Duelist Organization and Sophia's subordinate forces.

Although most of these are just groundless rumors, and many of them are not even sure about the name or nature of the dark duelist organizations they are connecting to, this material does indirectly prove Sophia's suspiciousness.

However...Sophia is originally a dark duelist, and according to Youxian's idea, it would be strange if she was not suspicious.

However, it is worth mentioning that although this document lists a large number of "cases", none of them directly points to Sophia herself.

They mostly involve characters of lesser status, and are usually vague about coming into contact with Dark Duelists for 'unknown' reasons.

Therefore, even though there are many "cases" above, it cannot directly prove that Sophia has had contact with the Dark Duelist, nor can it directly point out that Sophia is a Dark Duelist.

If we follow the procedure, the worst that can happen is that 'a temporary worker under Sophia hooked up with a dark duelist for xx reasons, but luckily he was arrested before anything serious happened', which won't really pose any threat to Sophia.

But Sophia didn't even seem to want to explain to Iris. She just glanced at the information in Youxian's hand and said coldly:

"It's like you came directly to warn your fiancé just because you had doubts about me. I have no reason and no need to explain this to you."

"I know that my identity is the chairman of the Synchronicity Academy, not a dark duelist or a dark duelist collaborator. This alone is enough."

You Xian could clearly feel that there was something wrong with Iris's attitude, and it was certainly possible that Sophia herself could not have failed to notice it.

She didn't know why Iris targeted her like this, and she had no idea what Iris's purpose was.

But she knew that if someone was hostile to her, she would definitely not be polite to that person.

There was no special relationship between her and this Iris, and she was not someone like You Xian who had once saved her, so Sophia had no reason to be lenient towards her.

I can't tolerate this any longer. This is not just ordinary womanizing. I have to strike back hard!

Thinking of this, Sophia seemed to have received the buff of Dragon's killing blow, and her attack power instantly increased!

Although there was a sofa not far away, Sophia sat directly on Youxian's bed and spoke again:

"After all, isn't it strange that you came to your fiancée so late at night to say bad things about another woman?"

"If you just suspected that there was something wrong with me, you could have questioned me in person."

"Wouldn't it be better to achieve your goal if you revealed my true face in front of everyone? As long as you choose the right time, I won't have the time to cover myself up."

"Even if you take a step back, you can still go directly to the Duelist Council. I believe that those guys who have been humiliated by the Dark Duelists recently will definitely not mind adding some achievements to themselves.

What happened to Synchronic Academy, Super Academy and Shenghua before made them lose face. If they don’t prove their level, I’m afraid those rubbish won’t be able to hold on to their positions and may be kicked out one day.”

At this point, Sophia's face revealed a hint of disdain, just like a 'conscientious' low-level staff member expressing dissatisfaction to some big shots. Even from You Xian's perspective, she felt that she was at a level of 70 or 80 - she was really talented.

"Not to mention that the evidence you provided is not enough to prove that there is anything wrong with me."

"I, Sophia, have always been a duelist of the Synchro Academy, and I was one of the few duelists in the Synchro Academy who stood firm against the dark duelists before the purge."

"I may not be loyal to the former chairman, but I am extremely loyal to the Synchronic Academy. Both your fiancé and the students of the Synchronic Academy can attest to this. They all know what I did for the Synchronic Academy after it fell into crisis."

"Although I don't want to brag, the facts are the facts. It was indeed your fiancé who defeated the Shining Assembly head-on, but I and my people also played a significant role in it."

Sophia, who was clearly doing it for "revenge", began to talk nonsense in front of Youxian and Iris, trying to portray herself as a "noble" and "selfless" person.

However, unlike You Xian who already knew the truth, Iris actually fell for it, because from her perspective, what Sophia said was indeed true.

"This is especially true for intelligence. When he was at the Synchronicity Academy, Youxian's intelligence was basically based on me and my investigation team. Without them, Youxian's actions would not have been so smooth."

"As for me, at the last moment I took the initiative to stand up and hold back the president of the Shining Assembly in order to prevent the dragon from descending into this world. This is enough to explain everything."

After witnessing Youxian's operations, the dark duelist Sophia seemed to have learned some of the essence of it.

Relying on information asymmetry to fool the opponent, you basically don't need to lie in the process, you only need to reveal part of the truth to mislead others in the direction you want. This is what Sophia is doing now.

Maybe she didn't have the acting skills of You Xian, but even so, she had fooled Iris. She knew most of what Sophia said, but she had always subconsciously ignored it and only focused on Sophia's suspicious points, and didn't notice what Sophia did for the Synchronicity Academy.

Now that I think about it... there seems to be some truth in what Sophia said? Could it be that she was really obsessed? Sophia was indeed innocent, but she was the one who judged others by her own standards?

So what is the purpose of her trip today?

Seeing that Iris was in a moment of confusion, Sophia quickly began to strike while the iron was hot:

"Unless you want to deny everything I did at the Synchronicity Academy, you cannot question my position."

"Moreover, I am more curious about why you are targeting me like this? Could it be because... you are afraid or jealous?"

"Youxian is your fiancé, so you have always taken him for granted as your 'property' and thought he should revolve around you - even if you hardly pay attention to his condition."
