Chapter 76. Teenagers and Drama
The expedition team from Harland Metropolitan University gathered with those from Derulo City University and Cosmere City University.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," the lead instructor of the expedition from Harland Metropolitan University said. "Thank you for gracing us with your presence. As you are all aware, we are out of time. So, let’s set off as soon as possible. Let’s prioritize the safety of the healers in the group. They are the most indispensable members of the team."
Several from the 105 people nodded. If their healers were killed, they would eventually use all their healing elixirs, run out of healing elixirs, and die if they sustained severe injuries.
"That’s him."
"Aiden Vhorn."
"Is that really him?"
"The guy who was on the news recently?"
"Yeah. But I don’t believe the rumors. How can an advanced rank 1 warrior be as dangerous as they claimed he is?"
"Dude, the thing was literally on the news. What doubts do you have?"
"Well, even if the things about him are true, they may have been exaggerated on the news. You know our media people. Crimson Reaper my foot."
"As for me, I don’t doubt anything said about him. Better to not offend him. They don’t call him the Crimson Reaper for nothing."
"That’s the scion of the Vincent Group of Companies, Asmodeus Vincent."
"That’s Luke Bryan, the scion of the Bryan Group of Restaurants."
"Desmonda Creed of the Creed Guild is also there."
"That’s Seraphina Moore, the Vice Mayor’s daughter."
"That lady is also Candice Marcus, she’s from the Marcus Military Family. A family in Hessington State who have a lot of military personnel among them."
"It looks like they are all with Aiden Vhorn. This guy is surrounded by monsters."
"Indeed. Hey, look, that’s Rock Lee from Cosmere City University."
"Yeah... that’s... also..."
Several students from the three universities were discussing others.
Some students were even eyeing one another.
One of them was Henrich Fang.
"Wait... why is he looking at Aiden Vhorn in such a manner?"
"Didn’t you hear? The student council president is pissed. Apparently, his fiance, Rexilia Ravenspar, asked Aiden Vhorn out."
"What? What did he do?"
"He rejected her. But that’s not the point. Aiden Vhorn is in trouble. The Fangs and Ravenspars will eliminate him. This engagement is a merger both parties need. There’s no way they will entertain any unforeseen variables."
"Even if they don’t, he’s fucked. With the way Henrich Fang is looking at Aiden Vhorn, things won’t end well for him, knowing the student council president."
"Aiden Vhorn doesn’t seem to care though. He is completely ignoring Henrich."
"Look... Henrich is walking up to his fiance."
Several looked.
Henrich walked towards Rexilia.
Rexilia was in thought at the moment.
She did not anticipate that asking Aiden Vhorn out would implicate him so much.
She looked at Aiden apologetically. But Aiden did not even spare her a glance.
"I need to make this right," she thought. "I can’t have someone else implicated because of me."
Currently, the instructors were quietly observing everything. Someone was using a gate classification device to confirm again if the gate was a rank 2 gate.
Rexilia held Henrich’s hand.
"Hey, hun. Look, I know there are some rumors, but it’s all rumors, okay? Aiden has nothing to do with this," she said.
"So you are telling me you really asked him out? And now you are even defending him?" Henrich looked at Aiden.
Aiden looked at him calmly and returned to talking to Desmonda and the others as if he did not even notice Henrich.
"She’s behaving just like I thought," Aiden thought. "This means my plan will work flawlessly. He may snap at her at any moment."
Henrich was pissed.
"I need to get rid of this guy. I can’t let him ruin everything between our families. Rexilia has feelings for him. If he doesn’t die, she may do something stupid to ruin the engagement and the mergers." A glint flashed through his eyes.
He looked at Rexilia.
"You are really troublesome!" He raised his hand, about to slap Rexilia.
However, Cosmo spoke.
"Settle your personal matters when we leave the pocket world. If anyone tries any nonsense against another person in the pocket world, they will be in big trouble."
Henrich stopped.
Rexilia was angry.
"If you want, fucking slap me! Gosh, I wish you would just die in a ditch somewhere!" She snapped.
"You... I will let this slide because you are my fiance. But if you ever speak to me that way again, not even the instructors here can stop me from teaching you a fucking lesson!" Henrich spoke, spittle flying all over.
These guys were arguing here?
The couple were about to erupt into a battle.
Suddenly, Pamela and Cosmo knocked them out.
"Teenagers and drama," Pamela sighed. "It’s confirmed to be a rank 2 gate. Let’s move."
The group of 105 warriors started entering the gate. Two unconscious warriors were carried on the shoulders of two instructors like sandbags.
No one noticed the smile on Aiden Vhorn’s face.
"The lady threatened the gentleman and the gentleman threatened the lady. It seems the inhibition removal poison will work better than I thought," Aiden thought as he disappeared with Desmonda and the others into the gate.

Southern Continent.
Hessington State.
Tanmun City.
Ravenspar Estate.
Two pairs of couples were seated on a couch in a luxurious living room with concerned expressions on their faces.
They were currently staring at the television screen.
"These kids almost disgraced us on live TV?" The Ravenspar couple said.
"Indeed. It’s only natural. They are two teenagers who don’t love each other. It’s only natural they act dramatic. But love can grow."
"Yeah. They will come to love each other when they marry. However, this Aiden Vhorn needs to be eliminated. We can’t have him make Rexilia lose focus." The Fang couple replied.
"I agree."
"Me too. I’m sure Henrich will handle him in the pocket world. If he is unable to do that, we will send competent assassins after Aiden Vhorn when he returns from the pocket world. We can’t just send weaklings after him... I heard he’s an adept schemer."
"At least, we need to send rank 2 assassins after him if Henrich fails to handle him when he comes out of the pocket world. Pamela Ashira may have his back, but she cannot follow him around. An assassination will do." The Ravenspar couple replied.
