Chapter 126: A Surprise
"Alright..."
Christopher, a confident smirk playing on his lips, rose from his seat, his gaze sweeping over the two figures before him. "Have no fear about the competition; I shall emerge victorious."
The Dean, a wise smile creasing the corners of his eyes, nodded approvingly. "That’s the spirit, Christopher. You may go now."
"Then I shall take my leave," Christopher responded, a slight bow accompanying his words before he turned and strode towards the exit.
Monica’s eyes followed Christopher’s departing form until he disappeared through the office door. She then turned to the Dean, a flicker of apprehension in her gaze.
"Dad... are you truly certain about this?"
The Dean stroked his distinguished beard, a knowing smile gracing his features.
"Christopher, while occasionally prone to recklessness, possesses more than enough power to secure our triumph. My initial plan was to deploy Chloe in this competition, but that archaic old fool introduced a new, utterly absurd rule. Consequently, our reliance now falls solely on Christopher and the other three."
Monica slowly absorbed his words, a thoughtful nod acknowledging her understanding.
"Now... go, my dear. Don’t you have classes to oversee?"
"Yes, of course. I’ll be heading to the training ground," Monica replied, pushing herself up from her chair and walking out of the office.
