Chapter 26 - 5.4 : A Fly That Pollutes the Sky
On the far side of Hazandeen International High School—where the School Festival spirit echoed through the air—David Virellano stepped into one of the vacant classrooms, his gaze scanning with a mix of curiosity and disdain.
The school interior was modern. Futuristic minimalist design, automated lighting, and smart-glass windows.
David’s eyes wandered for a moment, before a faint smirk crept across his lips.
"This place... is far too comfortable for a charity case like that."
Soon, a group of students entered and bowed respectfully.
"Welcome, Young Master David."
Among them, one student didn’t bow.
Instead, he slung an arm casually around David’s shoulder.
"Still arrogant as ever, huh?"
The voice belonged to Rudi Norvalien—heir of the Norvalien family, one of the wealthiest in Eastern Indorosia. Still below the Virellanos in power, but wealthy enough to have seats at the table.
David chuckled and gave his longtime friend a pat on the back.
"If I weren’t, you might start thinking we’re equals."
