Chapter 788

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
Night fell.

Julius and Frederick were still in the school building. It had been several years since they had stayed in the school building for so long.

The new students were excited. They could feel the importance the family head placed on this assessment.

The seniors realized that this was because of Ruth.

Originally, they were quite nervous, worried that the apprentices they had painstakingly nurtured would be snatched up by Ruth.

Unexpectedly, most of them received a secret notification that night. They had to do everything they could to stop Ruth from taking in apprentices!

This was easy!

Taking advantage of the fact that she had become very unpopular in the afternoon, the seniors rushed over to curry favor with their potential apprentices.

At the same time, they began “talking” about Ruth.

They talked about her lack of punctuality and how she had a much sharper tongue than what the newbies had seen. In addition, her partner was a very jealous man and would not accept her

    The young man looked a little familiar. He seemed to be Piers, the stupid one!“That’s Finnian’s brat. I shouldn’t choose him, right?” Ruth’s expression was serious and hesitant.Abel asked, “What if he chooses you?”Ruth laughed. “He’s not a masochist. How could he choose me after being humiliated…”“Ms. Ruth, I would like to ask for your guidance again.”The entire venue was silent as they looked at the people on stage as if they had seen a ghost.Ruth was just as shocked.She subconsciously sat up straight and pointed at herself with a blank expression. “You want to choose me?”The young man on stage blushed and looked at her expectantly. “Can I?”Ruth was speechless.It was possible, but…She turned her head and subconsciously looked at Finnian.As expected, Finnian’s pupils trembled like hers. It was as if he did not expect this. Following Finnian’s direction, Julius and Frederick were stunned and in disbelief.Julius especially, was glaring at the stage. He wished he

    Screams rose and fell, and whistles sounded. Many audience members were even more excited than those who had passed this stage.Piers silently heaved a sigh of relief.He fell to the ground, suddenly feeling weak.That was the counterattack he had been thinking about all night. He had calculated that he would have a solid 80% chance of winning if he used this strategy.However, he was still worried about it.Ruth was crazy! She could easily whip out a new move and defeat him!“Then, Piers has succeeded. Piers, you can choose—”“Hold on!” A deep and dignified voice sounded.Everyone looked over. It was Julius.His expression was serious, and his voice was cold. “Ruth went easy on you. This challenge is invalid.”The entire place was silent. Everyone looked at him blankly.Julius rarely taught the students in person, and his words were very dignified. Apart from Frederick, he was the most authoritative voice in the Rivas family.If he said that Ruth was going easy, then she w

    Piers looked at Ruth with admiration. He was sure that Ruth was protecting him.He pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds before apologizing sincerely. “I’m sorry, Madam Ruth. Mr. Julius is right. I shouldn’t have played dirty—”“Why are you calling me Madam Ruth? Call me Ms. Ruth!” Ruth interrupted him, afraid that he would blurt out some nonsense. “If you don’t use any dirty tricks, you won’t be able to withstand a single move from me. Capturing your opponent’s psychological weakness is also a part of your strength.”Piers’s eyes lit up as he stared at her blankly. “Can I acknowledge you as my teacher now?”Ruth smiled. “Of course!”As she spoke, she did not look at Julius, who was red-faced, but instead looked at Frederick. “Right, Grandpa? Help us make a decision and tell Mr. Julius not to be too strict with the kid!“Besides, Piers really wants to be MY apprentice. If I reject him, the institute will lose a promising talent!”Frederick was clearly on the same

    Accepting a teacher and taking in an apprentice had to be a mutual decision.However, it was the Rivas family after all, where the decision-making power was more in favor of the older seniors.There was also a rule in the apprentice initiation ceremony: After the apprentice is accepted by a teacher, if the promising talent decided to become another teacher’s apprentice, the first teacher could challenge the new teacher. The winner would take the apprentice, and that apprentice would no longer have the right to choose.Over the years, the internal affairs of the training institute had been very peaceful. There were almost no cases of apprentices being snatched. Everyone had even gradually forgotten this rule.When Ruth said that they were going to fight for the apprentice, she was exploiting this rule. But she never expected that someone would attempt to snatch her apprentice.Piers panicked even more. He never expected Denver to pull such a move. If he was taken away by Denver, he

    Denver paused for a moment and then laughed. “Why would I have such an exclusively designed weapon? Everyone knows that Mr. Julius loves you and the Rivas family’s heir is on good terms with you!”Without another word, Ruth took a few steps forward and tried to check what he was holding. Denver’s expression changed slightly, and he stumbled back two steps.Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the referee instinctively stepped forward to intercept her. “Ruth—”“He used a hidden weapon first. I was trying to protect myself!” Ruth tried to explain.The referee was a senior member of the Rivas family. Although he wanted to side with Ruth, he saw with his own eyes that it was indeed Ruth who had used her hidden weapon.He was silent for a moment and glanced at Julius. After getting a nod, he said, “The competition is suspended. Regarding the hidden weapons, we still need to investigate this carefully later.”“Investigate what? Isn’t it obvious?” Denver was very displeased with th

    The scene was utter chaos.The Rivas family was skilled in using poison, and it was very difficult to uncover their traces, even with modern medical practices.In situations like this, a poison doctor from the Rivas family was needed. While waiting for the doctor, Julius personally went forward to take a look. Then, without saying anything, he gestured for Ruth to leave with him.Abel glanced at Denver before he followed Ruth.After taking two steps, he stopped and turned to look at Piers. “Come along.”Piers subconsciously placed himself on the same side as Ruth. He had wanted to stay and observe the situation to see what would happen to Denver. But on second thought, he figured it might be more effective to help Ruth plead for leniency.Hence, he finally stood up and left with Abel. ......As soon as Abel and Piers walked into Julius’s study, they could hear him speak with suppressed anger.“What on earth were you thinking?! I’ve already said that your investigation has n

    If Piers had been left alone at the stage, he would have been ostracized by his fellow students and the seniors. Even the most steadfast person could waver from this.However, bringing him along changed the situation. It allowed him to avoid the pressure of public opinion and brought him closer to Ruth’s side.“Mr. Julius, just call me Abel.” Abel did not clarify and only corrected him politely.Julius snorted, but answered his question, “There’s a small issue with the surveillance camera: It’s currently under repairs.”Abel narrowed his eyes. “What a coincidence.”Julius said nothing.Abel continued, “Do you need help? My company has competent staff who can handle such matters.”Julius said coldly, “So does my family. There’s no need for us to trouble you for such a small matter.”Abel was speechless. Julius still held a grudge against him.He was indeed angry, but since things had come to this point, it was useless to try and stop him. Julius might as well take the opportuni

    The voice belonged to Julius. Ruth and the others were behind him. Frederick did not come this time. Perhaps it was because the shock and disappointment of the previous events were too great.The room instantly fell silent.Everyone stopped complaining.Denver’s eyes lit up when he saw Julius. His heart was filled with anticipation.Was Julius concerned about him?That meant that he had made the right bet! Everyone had seen Ruth shoot out the silver needle! Was Julius worried about him? Was he completely disappointed in Ruth?“Ruth used such a dirty trick on her fellow apprentice right in front of everyone! She’s horrible! She attacked me today, but who’s to say that she won’t attack someone else tomorrow? Mr. Julius, I know you’ve always been fair and just. I just want to let the new students know that the Rivas family is an upstanding family that always fights for justice!”Denver’s words were calculated. He had purposely put Julius in a position of authority, meaning that Jul

    Galen stood nervously at the side. At first, he wanted to step in and help, but he held himself back.In the end, he gave up and watched the fight.The more he watched, the more startled he was.Despite her delicate frame, her moves were calculated and ruthless.Many of her moves were lethal.She was a young woman who was loved. She was pampered and adored by everyone. How was such a person so ruthless in combat?It was as if she often fought to the death…Mr. Watson was shaken as well. He covered his neck with one hand, while his other hand hung limply by his hand. He looked at Lily in shock. His other hand hung weakly by his side. He looked at Lily in shock.How could such a small and delicate-looking person possess such strength? Was she really the heiress of the Cavendish family?“Do you want to verify it? The wounds match with the one who attacked me. I broke his right wrist on the spot, though. After that, I didn’t wait for reinforcement to come. I moved immediately an

    Her hand paused while hefting the silver fork.Ruth’s husband was really very considerate. He loved her sister truly and everyone in her family.She decided to find a boyfriend like him for herself in the future.“I definitely will!” She thought.She stood in the spacious living room and looked at the man beside Galen who wanted to get to the bottom of this investigation. Her fingers tightened on the fork. “Words might not be enough to explain. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you give this a try?”Galen had not reacted when Charles spoke, nor when Abel had talked about switching it to a blunt weapon, but he definitely did now. “Nonsense!” he said sternly and stood up.Lily’s fighting spirit was ignited, but his stern rebuke deflated half of it. “Why not? Is it now allowed? You said attacking a police officer wasn’t allowed, didn’t you?”“He doesn’t count!” Galen said with disdain.Lily’s aggressive stance was completely deflated. “Well… if he doesn’t count, then his skills

    The seemingly innocent question was directed at the young police officer.He looked troubled.Her delicate appearance did not help.The young police officer turned to the stern-faced man beside Galen for some help. The man pursed his thin lips and spoke in a deep voice.“Your Excellency… Madam… the nature of this case is severe, but the process of investigation is smooth. If your daughter doesn’t reveal the whole truth, it’ll be difficult for us to reach the crux of the issue. I assume that you don’t just want the result from this investigation but also the truth?”His firm voice was authoritative yet respectful.Charles turned to look at him. His brown eyes were calm, and he was sizing up this person.The police officer’s cold demeanor momentarily faltered. He quickly looked away and did not dare look him in the eye. “We’re just following procedures. To prevent this matter from escalating further, we hope for your cooperation.”He sounded intimidated yet resolute. It seemed

    He was already determined to stake everything on his plan.“Right,” Lily said, “What about those bodyguards assigned to protect me? How were they swapped?”“Abel offered them ten times the price and bribed the group of bodyguards hired by Denver. The two poor people were taken down. The rest were replaced by our own people,” said Galen icily.Lily was shocked. She looked at him and then at Abel, who was driving calmly.Ruth looked at her husband with the same shocked face.So, this was how money made the world go round!When Denver had transferred money to that company, Lily had caught wind of it, but it seemed Abel had found out even sooner.He had already made arrangements to take drastic measures.“Don’t they have any morals? I heard that those kinds of organizations have principles. They won’t willingly betray the ones who employed them,” said Ruth.“As long as it’s not a terrorist organization, every organization needs connections. William’s group was already in dire stra

    It was mainly because Denver clearly fabricated an alibi. But he had appeared on the scene and had been taken away.It was indeed quite puzzling.At that point, everyone looked at Abel in confusion.Abel looked straight ahead and did not speak. He only spoke when he was asked directly.“The father and son lost because they didn’t know each other’s motivations. It’s easy to bribe their people to send a message to the other and get them to the scene…”Before they set off, Sean received news that Denver was going all out and wanted to go down with Lily in the manor in the suburbs.Sean did not doubt it because Denver had been acting increasingly strange recently.He was transferring his assets and buying and renovating manors. It was as though he was prepared for death.He had even arranged for his funeral.Afraid that his son was taking things too hard, he put down whatever he was doing and rushed over to the scene.Since that was taken care of, it was easy to deceive Denver af

    “See what you are doing? What if something happens to your sister?”Charles was not known for showing affection or caring about people outright.However, when his daughter cried and threw a tantrum, he could not stop himself.Charles stood by Lily without hesitation and scolded Abel for his incompetence.Ruth was originally filled with resentment and wanted to vent it out on Abel too, but when she saw that the father and daughter duo had joined forces to attack her husband, half of her resentment dissipated.With four bodyguards that had been arranged to deal with two outsiders, coupled with Lily’s abilities, her life was indeed not in danger…She glanced at Lily hesitantly. At this moment, Galen had cleaned up all the stains on her palm.Other than the redness between her thumb and index finger, she did not seem too badly hurt.All the resentment was gone. In fact, she was even a little protective. “Why did you have to deal with the four bodyguards?” Lily lowered her head an

    Everyone was speechless.This discussion was fruitless. Everyone had their own opinions, and no one wanted to give in.In the end, Reina and the old man took a car, while Ruth, Abel, Charles, Galen Barker, and Lily got into another.The fire slowly died down.The cars left one after another.After Mr. Lockton got into the car, his cloudy eyes became shrewd. He asked his daughter, “Do you think that police officer is also interested in Lily?”Otherwise, why would he be so active and rush to the front? Why would he find such a lousy excuse to be the one to drop her home?“I think so, but unfortunately, Lily doesn’t seem to be as interested as before,” Reina said helplessly.Otherwise, why would she reject such a good opportunity to get into his car?Wouldn’t she have acted pitiful enough to earn his sympathy to get into the car?Mr. Lockton frowned. He was in deep thought.The last time he had heard that his granddaughter had fallen in love with another man who happened to be

    Also, she was sure that if it was Luna being attacked at that time, he would have helped her without hesitation.This man was just like Notus. He was stupid, stubborn, and hypocritical.The reason why she spoke on his behalf was that she could not stand Luna’s smug face. Even if she wanted to drag someone down, she had to ask first.It was just the truth. She would not die if she made that clear anyway.Luna’s smug look cracked as she stared fixedly at her. Her gaze shifted from doubt to resentment and unwillingness.Aquilo was not surprised when Lily accused him. He knew that he had done something wrong. If not for Abel’s careful consideration, they would have died here today.However, he was quite surprised to hear her defend him.As he was handcuffed and escorted to the police car, he could not help but turn to look at her.“Lily…”Lily was about to walk to her car.She paused for a moment and turned to look at him calmly.Her usually playful eyes were indifferent at that

    Aquilo opened his mouth but did not know what to say.Just then, a team of uniformed police officers rushed over to the scene to rescue the hostages.Looking at the people standing before them, they could not tell which ones were the hostages.Galen Barker walked over from behind and glanced at them. “What are you still standing here for? Get out quickly!”This manor had an ancient Sommersetese courtyard.The place where they were gathered was a small open space in the courtyard.After passing through the desolate artificial mountain pavilion, they arrived at the large courtyard outside the manor. There were many people gathered there, with many police cars parked nearby.A fire truck had also arrived.To Lily’s surprise, Sean Lovehart and his father were also there and were being escorted into the police car.When he saw her coming out, Denver’s face filled with hatred. He wanted to rush to her and strangle her. “You’ve got guts! You risked your life to drag us down with you!
