"However, I really didn't expect that you, Orson, would be willing to lure the snake out of its hole at the cost of damaging your personal image." Olivia looked at Orson and smiled.

"What's the saying? A short pain is worse than a long one." Orson said this with a raised eyebrow. "Or, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb?"

"In short, if we don't do this, he will only cause more and more trouble to us in the future."

The atmosphere in the office was quite harmonious, and no one could have imagined that these three people had just had a quarrel two days ago.

"So, when do we start?" Manuel asked. "I have all the materials ready. Those guys will definitely not be able to escape."

"No hurry, I'm still waiting for the most important person."

As Orson finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

"Someone is coming." He said so, and then continued, "Please come in."

Then the office door opened and Virgil walked in.

Looking at Virgil, who always treated others with a kind smile, Orson also greeted him.

"Long time no see, Virgil."

"Master Orson, I have brought the person you wanted to the designated location." Virgil smiled, bowed and replied.

"Okay." Orson nodded with satisfaction. "I'll go there in person later. Now I'll arrange other things first."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Master Orson outside." Virgil nodded respectfully and then left the office.

"Is this your man?" Olivia looked at Orson and asked.

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"I never thought that the famous smiling devil in the second grade, the white glove that every noble wanted to extend an olive branch to, actually has a master." Olivia said this, looking at Orson with some resentment in her eyes, as if complaining why Orson kept it from her.

"I thought you never had to use those things, Orson."

"No, no, I'm not nobler than you, nor as powerful as you. If you can use something, I can definitely use it too."

In the original book, Virgil, as one of Orson's right-hand men, had extremely strong business abilities and was used by Orson to deal with Leet. However, due to Leet's halo as the protagonist, Virgil was eventually killed by Leet.

However, as Orson's loyal confidant, Virgil did not reveal Orson's identity even at the moment of his death.

When Orson came to the Imperial Academy, he also thought of Virgil.

As the "white glove" carefully cultivated by the original Orson, Virgil's task is to deal with some things that are inconvenient for Orson to handle due to his identity, including but not limited to surveillance, investigation, blackmail, and house arrest.

Of course, because Orson has been going smoothly all the way, Virgil has not yet had the opportunity to show his loyalty.

At the same time, in order to hide Virgil's identity, Orson deliberately let Virgil take the entrance test, and deliberately performed poorly in the subsequent qualifying rounds, becoming a student who was only ranked over 700 and looked mediocre.

In addition, Orson forged an identity for Virgil as the son of a wealthy businessman, and they never interacted with each other on a daily basis, resulting in no one in the academy connecting the two people together.

Last year, Orson did not assign any tasks to Virgil. Unexpectedly, Virgil earned the title of "Smiling Devil" in the second grade.

The reason was that Virgil always smiled when he treated others, until one time, someone challenged him to a duel, and he ended up breaking the man's teeth while still smiling on the arena.

In addition, he himself had a good appearance. After dressing up, he was more elegant than some noble young men. From then on, this title always accompanied him.

"Smiling face" describes that he always likes to laugh, and he is handsome and elegant.

"Yan Luo" is used to describe his ferocious fighting methods and cruelty to his opponents.

Because of this incident, he attracted a lot of young fans and was able to rank among the top ten in the college's handsome man contest.

Of course, because he himself was extremely low-key, he never got into any other trouble after that incident, and the discussion and popularity about him gradually faded among his classmates, and then he was slowly forgotten and no longer mentioned.

Although this went against Orson's original intention of asking him to hide himself, on the other hand, once he became famous, it would be more difficult for others to associate him with Orson's men.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Orson said, looking at Olivia and Manuel. "When you go back, reorganize the department you are in charge of and hold a meeting. At that time, no one should leave the student union building."

"Then, Manuel, after the meeting, take the people you can trust from the Discipline Department. Remember, you must politely invite 'Orochi' to the Student Union."

“Then everything went according to plan.”

"Got it." The two nodded.

"Okay, I have to take care of my own business." Orson stood up.

"After all, that guy bullied my Leeteuk and made him cry. How can I not pay a price?" As he said this, a chill emanated from his body, and then he walked out of the office.

Looking at Virgil, who was standing in the doorway, leaning against the wall, he nodded.

"Let's go."

……

Tyrell had been sitting in the room for half a day. During this time, no one had come to the room except for the lunch delivery at noon.

Until ten minutes ago, he was informed that the owner of the house would be here soon and asked him to wait in the living room.

Then he waited in the living room.

He kept thinking about who was the person hiding behind Virgil.

And how can he help himself?

Then Tyrell heard the sound of the door lock clicking. He looked up and saw Virgil walking in.

Then, looking at the man following Virgil, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Orson walked into the room, looked at Tyrell who was smiling, and smiled back.

"Mr. Virgil, you are right, aren't you?" Tyrell said this with a hint of mockery in his tone. "I just plotted against your master's brother, and I had a feud with him before, and now you tell me he is coming to help me?"

"Hahaha, this isn't the way to joke, is it?!"

Virgil just smiled and said nothing.

"Who said I can't help you?" Orson said. "Mr. Tyrell, this should be the first time we meet outside of school."

With that, Orson held out his hand to Tyrell.

“This should be our first time.

In a real sense, it is a meeting between two separate people.”

Tyrell was silent for a moment, then he reached out his hand and shook it with Orson.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down again.

"I can help you clear your name and I can also help you get rid of those people's control." Orson said this, stating his purpose straight away.

In fact, as early as when Tyrell provoked Little for the first time and was punched by Orson, Orson had already guessed that Tyrell was instructed by someone.

During the subsequent student union election, Tyrell's intervention in the election made Orson more convinced of his inner thoughts.

After all, no matter what, he is just the son of an earl. If he dares to challenge the son of a duke, he must have a backer who is no less powerful than Leete.

Coupled with Tyrell's identity, it is easy to connect him with Donnie, who also came from the Dukedom of Naples.

Therefore, the day after the student union election, Orson called Olivia and Manuel together to discuss the matter privately.

No matter what, as members of the same student union, they all rose and fell together, and the three of them quickly worked out a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

And all this requires that Tony takes the bait himself and reveals enough flaws.

At the same time, Orson also asked his long-dormant helper Virgil to take action and began to secretly investigate Donny's power and actions.

Orson did not cause trouble for Tony immediately after the student union election in order to paralyze Tony and make him think that he would not dare to do anything to him, making his behavior become more and more bold.

Later, outside the school, at a banquet hosted by President Louis, Orson accidentally met Donny, so he used words to provoke Donny, making him even angrier with him.

At this time, Orson had already begun waiting for Donny to take action.

That day, after Orson learned that something had happened to Litt, he showed anxiety. Some of it was because he was worried about Litt, but more of it was because he wanted to perform a play with Manuel.

He was going to pretend there was discord within the student union so that Donnie would think that Manuel could be manipulated.

Although the leadership group within the student union is generally trustworthy, there will definitely be Donnie's eyes and ears among the new members recruited.

Orson pretended to be furious and insisted on meeting Lit despite breaking the rules.

Then he had an argument with Manuel in the Discipline Department.

Orson knew that Donnie must have had spies in the Discipline Department at the time, because shortly after he lost his temper, the students who put pressure on him seemed to know what was going on in advance and kept asking Orson questions that embarrassed him.

And Orson refused to answer, and went to the Council, pretending to seek the help of Dean Luca.

In fact, Orson didn't expect Luca to help him at all. His actions were just telling Donny, "I'm in a hurry. If not now, when?"

Then Donny invested a lot of money to buy internet trolls, create larger-scale public opinion, and began to prepare to remove Orson from the position of student union president.

At the same time, they bribed members of the student union to add fuel to the fire.

In the end, Donny found Manuel, ready to take advantage of the "dissension" between the two and take the opportunity to interfere and make Manuel harm Orson.

Manuel, who had been vaccinated long ago, would certainly not be fooled by such a clumsy plan of Donny. He refused directly and drew a clear line between himself and Donny.

Then, there was a big reversal at the hearing.

Orson had Virgil find out Donny's account books and transaction records, including his contact with Anya. It was Orson who hinted that the victim was an important breakthrough, which led Olivia to take the initiative to investigate. Even if Olivia had not asked Anya to turn against him that night, Orson would have exposed Donny's bribery of student union members and his instigation of Tyrell to murder Little.

He has always been invincible.

However, instead of defeating the opponent directly, Orson prefers to let those who are hostile to him suddenly make a sharp turn when he is about to win, so as to reverse the events.

As the saying goes, conquering the heart is the best way.

Although he could have directly targeted Tony from the beginning, doing so would not have caused any serious harm to Tony. Instead, it would have alerted the enemy and left a hidden danger of hostility towards the Osonlit brothers in the academy.

In order to wipe out the root of the problem, Orson needs to lure Tony deeper and deeper. When the intelligence he obtains can directly prevent Tony from turning over and he will never be able to assassinate Leete, Orson's goal will be achieved.

"Master Orson, do you want me to betray my father and the son of my father's master?" Tyrell

He smiled. "Do you know what kind of disaster I will suffer if I do this?"

"I know." Orson nodded. "But if you don't do this, won't it?"

Tyrell was silent.

Obviously, no matter how difficult the task Donny assigned to him was, he would be dissatisfied as long as he failed to complete it. When the accumulated dissatisfaction exploded, it would be extremely terrifying.

No one likes a madman, especially when that madman is your leader.

"From what I understand, your father wasn't that kind to you?" Tyrell's heart trembled as Orson said this.

"I've treated you as a tool since you were a child, as a tool to curry favor with Giovanni through Donny."

"I'm afraid the most common thing he said to you was not to take care of yourself, but to listen to Master Donnie more, right?"

"..." Tyrell was silent.

"Going back to a home like that, what would your father think of you if he found out that you upset Donnie?"

"Do you think he will tie you up and take you to Duke Giovanni to apologize?"

"Stop talking!" Tyrell said loudly, and then he gasped, a little excited.

"Do you think that just by saying this, you can make me betray them and help you?!"

"No." Orson shook his head. "I was just stating a fact, and perhaps that fact is a little too hurtful."

"But I think there's no point in staying in a home like this. Why don't you live in a different way?" Orson said this and snapped his fingers, and a contract appeared in front of Tyrell.

"This is a property in the Free City of Drest." Orson stared into Tyrell's eyes, revealing a trace of sincere emotion. "No matter what prejudice we had in the past, at least now, don't you want to take revenge on those who looked down on you in the past?"

"As long as you promise me, I will send someone to escort you to the Free City after this incident is over. Once you are there, the Florence family will not be able to get involved."

"You can live freely there and lead the life you want, free from the manipulation of your father and the oppression of the lord."

"Don't you want to go and see a day like that?"

Orson's words seemed to have magic, making Tyrell fall into a beautiful fantasy of the future.

"Let's not talk about the sufferings of the past for now. At least, now you still have a chance to change your fate, right?"

……

As I was thinking this, it was already evening.

The trial of Downey's case of bribery and abetment began.

Dean Luca did not attend the hearing. Instead, it was chaired by Olivia, vice president of the Student Union.
