Chapter 227 Don’t doubt Emilia

“…why I wanted to meet you.”

“Hmm, go on. I am listening.” Alex said calmly.

“You see, Eric was killed by one of your Angel Kings—Emilia Liwet. She did it thinking he had rigged the tournament that was going on for the first-year students and from what Eric had told me, she showed no proof or anything to back her claims. This isn’t done, Alex.”

Alex looked Darren dead in the eyes and said, “Darren, you’re her for what exactly? To ask me to make Emilia apologize or is it something else?”please visit ???e????o???.?૦?.

Darren sighed hearing it and said, “yes and no. Just ask her to come here and show us the proof of Eric rigging the tournament, if she has any. If she does have the proof and Eric is at fault, this matter will be closed. If she doesn’t, she just needs to apologize to Eric and step down from her principal seat.”

Alex raised an eyebrow as he heard this. He did not like the tone and attitude Darren was showing to him.

“If she has taken action, I am a hundred percent sure that your party was at fault. She won’t apologize or would need to come here to show any proof. Close the matter here itself, Darren. Don’t let it escalate.” Alex said seriously and gave an indirect warning to Darren to not question Emilia like that.

“This needs to be done, Alex. The matter is of one of my Emperor Ranks. He was killed. It isn’t a small issue.” Darren said calmly.

Alex slightly leaned forward and with the same seriousness as before, said:

“I think you’re forgetting something, Darren. Let me remind it to you. The stronger fist rules, that’s an universal truth. First and foremost, it’s your Eric’s fault to be weak. Secondly, even if Emilia killed him, so what? Has he really died? I don’t think so. Watch what you’re saying, Darren. This isn’t your home.”

Darren raised his eyebrows in surprise. ‘He seems to be fully on Emilia’s side. So much that he’s ready to throw hands at me if necessary. This isn’t good.’

“Alex, think it rationally. Don’t be biased just because she is an Emperor Rank from your race. Think–”

“Darren.”

Alex interrupted Darren mid sentence by calling his name out.

Darren stopped speaking and was confused as to why Alex stopped him like that. But judging from how serious his tone was, he didn’t speak further and waited for him to say something.

“This is the first and the last time I’ll tell you, don’t doubt Emilia, ever. It’ll be good for your mental and physical health both. Drop this matter and we’ll pretend nothing happened.”

“Is that a threat, Alex?” Darren narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.

“No. It’s a warning. I won’t tolerate you speaking ill of her or doubting her. As I said before, don’t escalate this matter further. If you do so… Well, I hope you’re well prepared for a war.” Alex said, as a matter of fact.

“You’re gonna go to war for such a small thing?” Darren asked with his brows furrowed.

Alex shook his head. “No. It’s not me who is going to war. It’s the entire Angel race against the Human race.”

“WHAT!?” Darren got up from his chair and shouted. “You’re serious?”

“Does it look like I am not?” Alex said calmly and picked up his teacup and sipped tea.

Darren rubbed his temples. ‘This madman… A war for such a trivial thing? Has this old guy finally gone senile?’ Darren was around the same age as Alex but didn’t feel even a bit of shame to call Alex old.

Darren sat back down on his chair, sipped tea and tried to calm himself down. He patiently thought about things for a good few seconds.

For what he came today was to get the proof from Emilia. If Eric was guilty, he would have him be removed from the academy. But if he wasn’t, all he wanted was to get Emilia to apologize to him and leave her position as the principal. That’s about it. Very simple.

But, things escalated a bit too much. Alex fully believed that Emilia wasn’t at fault at all and strongly defended her. He had no idea why he was doing it like this.

Darren got up from his seat and said to Alex, “let’s end this matter here itself. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Wait.” Alex stopped Darren.

“What is it now, Alex?” Darren asked with his brows furrowed.

“I’d advice you to replace Eric with someone else. He has given a lot of trouble to Emilia in the past, plus he even rigged a tournament for the kids. Don’t you think so he has failed his duties has a vice principal many times?” Alex said with a smile.

Darren shook his head and said, “that won’t happen. I am not going to allow it to happen.”

Alex smiled and said, “don’t forget why the academy was built, Darren. It was so that the young ones could be nurtured well. Eric has time and time again failed to fulfill his duties. This is a matter of great concern.

Replace him or I am pretty sure there will be a meeting for the Supreme Ranks who founded the academy. If it happens, you’re gonna embarrass yourself even further. Anyway, that’s about it from my side. Good luck.”

Darren clicked his tongue in annoyance. “I’ll see what needs to be done. Good bye.” Darren left the courtyard in the next instant.

“I hope you make the right choice.” Alex softly muttered to himself as he looked at ,the spot Darren was at.
