After hearing this, Klein’s expression instantly became much more solemn.

Audrey’s words meant that she had confirmed the question he had just raised. That meant that there were other factions mixed in with the Templar Knights, who were not too peaceful, to begin with.

Oh my god, if that was really the case, there would definitely be a bloodbath in the future.

Klein pondered for a long time. The environment they were in now was much more complicated than they had imagined. If a force that was already very chaotic were to flood in now…

Klein did not dare to imagine what would happen in the future.

Hobart clearly did not expect the situation to be this serious.

“I’ve said all I can. I believe you can guess what’s left.” Audrey stood up. “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.”

Klein hesitated for a moment before nodding.

He was amazed by Audrey’s calmness. Even under such circumstances, Audrey still looked calm in the face of danger.

It seemed like nothing could really make her panic. And it was because of this spirit that she was worthy of respect.

Watching the figure disappear into the corner, Klein let out a long sigh and looked at Cole beside him.

“It seems like the two of us are indeed too anxious.” Hobart pursed his lips slightly. “If we can be calm in the face of danger like this, then everything will be very easy to solve.”

Klein rolled his eyes at him, “What you said is completely meaningless. You should know that since the people of the Carol Association have already integrated into the Templar Knights, it means that their hands have already extended into the Templar Knights. They will definitely take action in the near future.”

“Although this is also the case, you should know that the people of the Carol Association have always been cautious. Even if they really have a plan, they will never reveal it. Do you really believe that…”

Hobart’s meaning was very clear.

He was doubting the truth of this matter.

Because it was hearsay, and there was no conclusive evidence. So it was difficult to determine whether what they knew was true or not.

If it was just a rumor, then all the plans they had to do next were useless.

Furthermore, they still needed to put a lot of effort into this matter. If the final outcome was not as they wished, it would be a huge blow to them.

Klein pursed his lips.

“Let’s make preparations first. That way, even if they really cause a commotion in the Templar Knights, we can make preparations in advance.”

Klein said so, and Cole nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Audrey, who had just left, received a message while she was studying. It said that the higher-ups wanted to talk to her.

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the students in the class who were conducting a potion experiment changed.

They all knew what kind of existence the higher-ups were.

Audrey might have displayed her strength too clearly today, which was why she had alerted the higher-ups to get to the bottom of it. They just did not know what the higher-ups would do to her.

Audrey slowly sighed. She felt that she could not be quiet today. According to the teacher who seemed to be quite old, she came to the room where the higher-ups were.

As soon as she entered the room, Audrey felt a powerful pressure approaching her.

Almost subconsciously, she looked in the direction where the pressure was coming from. Who would have thought that she would see an ordinary-looking old man?

He had just entered the room, but he had already given her such a show of force. Was he not trying to test her strength?

Audrey curled the corners of her lips. It seemed like she had been underestimated. She quietly circulated the elemental energy around her, wrapping her whole body up. The terrifying pressure suddenly decreased by a lot.

The few people sitting next to her reached out and rubbed their chests. They looked at the old man next to them with a hint of fear.

Audrey looked around the room and found that there was a person she knew standing inside. It was the blond man she had seen at the magic faculty the other day.

He was still wearing the heavy armor, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. After all, even he would find it difficult to breathe with that aura just now. However, there was nothing strange about this person’s expression.

As a trusted aide of the Templar Knights, he naturally knew how powerful the pressure just now was.

Even he and the teachers around him would find it hard to breathe when they felt that pressure. Not to mention walking.

Not only did the student in front of him not seem to feel anything, but she could also even walk in with ease. She must have some unique skills.

He took a gentle breath and changed the topic. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Harilanca. You must be the one who fought with someone in the arena yesterday.”

Audrey nodded. “Yes, it’s me.”

Harilanca did not say anything but looked at the old man next to him.

Although this old man did not have a high sense of presence, anyone in the upper echelons would know that this old man was their most important magister.

Thus, they naturally respected this old man a lot.
