Chapter 55: Double Breakthrough and Clubs
'But do I care? No, I don't.' Mikael's lips curled into a small, determined smile. 'I've come to genuinely appreciate Amelia during the time we've spent together, and I'm determined to "court" her. I don't know if "court" is the right word—maybe "conquer" fits better. Either way, we've grown significantly closer in a short time, and I think that's impressive considering this is my first attempt at pursuing a woman. With Kiara, it was less about me conquering her and more about her conquering me,' he thought with a rueful smile.
'Anyway, back to the matter at hand—Wernon and the Digeglide family. I'll remember this.' His expression hardened, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
Mikael then grabbed his phone and started researching his newfound enemies. He learned that the head of the Digeglide family, Favian Digeglide, was a powerful SS+ ranked warrior and Wernon's father.
Seeing this information, Mikael's brows furrowed. He continued his search but found little on Wernon beyond basic common knowledge. 'It seems the family is actively protecting his details. Nothing useful here,' he thought with frustration.
Ending his research, Mikael sighed. 'I can't afford to be careless. With an SS+ rank warrior as a potential enemy, who knows what else they might have hidden. And all this because of the jealousy of a young master. Looks like I'm stuck at the Academy until further notice.'
He sighed again. 'I doubt Wernon can send assassins after me while I'm at the Academy—his head would roll for challenging royal authority. But the moment I step outside, it's open season.'
The situation was frustrating, especially since Mikael had just discovered a lucrative LP farming method, only to lose the opportunity before fully exploiting it. Yet, this annoyance only strengthened his resolve. He clenched his fists. 'I need to grow stronger. The strong are always right!'
Initially, Mikael had planned to delay his breakthrough until his control improved further wanting to maximize the gain, but he knew he could no longer afford to stay stagnant. This time, he barely defeated two D+ rank assassins in a grueling fight. Next time, his enemies would undoubtedly be stronger, and as he was now, he stood no chance.
He checked his energy levels:
