Returning From The Magic World

Today's exam was a little easier than yesterday for Arthur. Although he couldn't answer all the questions correctly, he was able to answer more.

After finishing, he went straight out of his class to meet Rose who had messaged him to ask for a meeting.

She was in a van, looking fashionable as she was wearing sunglasses while her hair was in a ponytail.

Arthur got straight into the car and sat beside her.

"Do you need help?" he asked.

"Yes!" Rose nodded, stepping on the accelerator.

"I'm sure you already know what happened last night. My current plan is to help promote Andi and make him the Military Chief of Vera State."

Rose's complete plan surprised Arthur a little.

He already knew a few things about Andi, so the thought of him becoming Chief of Military here struck him as odd.

It may be a political issue, but it's still a bit much. Even the position of Chief of Military in this city might not be appropriate for Andi.

Even though General James was a vile person, but at least he had the ability to reach his position, proof that he was someone who deserved to hold something big.

"You know, that position is decided by the Army Chief of Staff, I'm not sure with my aunt's current position she can influence him." Arthur replied.

This was difficult unless Isabel actually became a minister.

She can negotiate with the Army Chief of Staff because at the same time, she can also give him something like giving important positions to his people.

"I'll make Andi's actions go viral," Rose replied. "And create an opinion that people here want Andi to occupy that position. Maybe the military brass will agree in order to regain public trust."

Arthur saw the seriousness on Rose's face and nodded.

"Alright, I'll tell my aunt about this," he said before taking out his cell phone.

He immediately called Isabel.

And the first thing she did was ask. "Arthur, where did you stay last night?"

This was a difficult question for Arthur to answer, he preferred to lie. "Last night I had some business, so I stayed at an hotel."

"You're not lying, are you?" Isabel looked incredulous.

Arthur didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Perhaps her instincts had improved so much that she could sense his lie just over the phone.

However, as long as there was no proof, her doubts would be nothing. She would probably forget about it soon enough.

"How could I dare to lie to you, you can ask Rose," Arthur replied calmly.

Hearing that, Rose rolled her eyes, glancing at her boss as if he was a bad boy lying to hide the bad thing he had done.

"Then what did you call me for?" Isabel stopped discussing that and asked Arthur's purpose.

Arthur didn't answer, but handed his cell phone to Rose.

"You will explain," he told her.

Rose was a little nervous as she received Arthur's cell phone. In a low voice, she said, "madam, it's me, Rose!"

"Rose, oh, is there anything you need?"

Isabel seemed to like Rose because her tone when she spoke to her was quite friendly, in contrast to when she spoke to Amanda where she occasionally sniped at her.

Rose then began to explain about her plan.

Isabel was quite surprised to hear all that. She said, "Arthur is really lucky to have you as a subordinate, you can even plan that far... This is a good thing, I will definitely help."

"Thank you for your trust," Rose replied, smiling slightly.

"Looks like your aunt is quite confident, boss!" She said to Arthur as she returned his cell phone.

"Yeah, I hope it works... By the way, go this way." Arthur pointed to a certain street on the map displayed on the small screen on the van's dashboard.

At this moment, he sensed the signals from the two harpies, that Melly had left the school even though it was still break time.

Rose was a little confused as to why Arthur wanted to go there, but she didn't ask anything, just did as he told her.

Moments later, they arrived in front of a junior high school that stood majestically in front of the main road.

Arthur ordered Rose to slow down the car while his eyes looked around.

It didn't take long before he spotted Melly coming out of the schoolyard on her bike.

The girl looked calm, only looking around for a moment before cycling next to the sidewalk.

"Follow her!" Arthur ordered while pointing at the girl.

Looking at the girl, who looked very beautiful despite her youth, Rose couldn't help but show a strange expression, wondering about Arthur's reasoning.

Being too curious, she finally asked, "who is she, boss?"

"You wouldn't know even if I told you," Arthur replied, making Rose smile wryly, realizing her mistake that she shouldn't have asked.

Surprisingly enough, even though Rose's car was following Melly at a considerable distance, the girl seemed to sense some strangeness.

She stopped her bike, staring back with narrowed eyes.

After a while of staring at the cars behind her, her gaze stopped at Rose's car.

It was only for a moment but Rose became even more astonished.

'Don't tell me she's also a spiritual being?' Rose said to herself.

Fortunately, the girl didn't stare back for too long. She pedaled her bike again. This time faster. And she turned out to be quite agile and skillful.

When there was a traffic jam, she easily slipped through the narrow spaces.

And when she came to an intersection and it happened to be a red light, she kept pedaling, crossing the road in front of her.

It caused a bit of chaos so sound after sound of horns echoed.

Some drivers cursed the girl, asking if her parents had actually taught her the traffic rules.

Unfortunately, Rose's car couldn't keep moving when it arrived in front of the red light.

It wasn't that she was afraid of breaking traffic, but the problem was that the road ahead was already full, making it impossible to pass.
