Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Lord Is Watching, A New Contract!

At the very edge of the testing area.

Evelynna and Diana listened to the people talking, but their expressions grew more and more complicated.

"2200 points. How could Logan do that? What right does he have to get such a high score?" Diana stomped her foot hard and let out her anger first. "He should have died in the scanner!"

Diana wasn't stupid. Logan had taken the test twice in a row. He was clearly trying to get a higher score to mock her.

The thought of Logan being proud made Diana's eyes shine with anger. She shot two laser beams and burned down a tree by the side of the road.

Evelynna stood beside her, looking up at the helicopter flying in the sky. Her eyes suddenly burned with fighting spirit. "I won't lose to him!"

She said that, Evelynna patted Diana on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. This potential test is just a numbers game."

"Once we get to the Blood Cultivation Realm, and face monsters directly, I'll show everyone that I, Evelynna, am the number one high school student in the federation!"

After saying that, Evelynna suddenly felt something strange and quickly turned around.

"Who's watching us?"

Evelynna frowned and ran a few tens of meters, but she only saw the shadow of a little deer running into the crowd.

Diana opened her wings and circled around the sky for a few times, but she also didn't find anyone suspicious.

Just when the two of them were about to continue looking, Nancy Priest and the Temple Knight Team came over.

"Teacher, you're here." Evelynna immediately stepped forward and greeted her, giving up the search for the peeper.

Diana stood next to Evelynna and also nodded to Nancy Priest, showing a rare politeness.

"Let's go back first." Nancy Priest said a few simple words and told Evelynna and Diana to leave.

The two girls had no choice but to follow reluctantly. Before leaving, they still looked back to try to find the suspicious person.

Not long after they left,

The golden deer took a recorder and quietly ran out of the crowd, back to Jessica's side.

Jessica took the recorder and put on her headphones. She listened for a long time, then her eyes narrowed slightly. "You bad woman, it was you who did this!"

...

In the Lord's mansion.

The chief examiner Peter stood in a corner like a kid who had done something wrong.

He had a lot of bandages around his face, and he looked very nervous and tense.

Not far from him, Lord Natalia with golden curly hair looked out the window and said thoughtfully, "So, you acted on your own and tried to kill Logan, but you failed?"

Natalia's voice was cold and showed no emotion, which made Peter even more nervous.

Finally, Peter couldn't stand the pressure and bent down straight to apologize, "I'm sorry! It's my fault! I thought I could bring Temple in and invite the Saintess to represent Twilight City in this year's Genius Training Camp."

When Peter apologized, Natalia took her eyes off him and turned to face him.

Ding...

Ding...

Ding...

The golden high heels appeared in Peter's vision, and he started sweating.

Natalia raised her hand slightly, and Peter was lifted up like a puppet and floated in the air, unable to move.

"Peter, you still don't understand where you went wrong," Natalia looked at him, her face full of disappointment. "Your biggest mistake wasn't being weak, but being ignorant."

"I'm working with Temple to train Evelynna, not to let the Saintess go to someone else."

"But the Saintess is the symbol of Temple. When she appears in the Genius Training Camp, she represents Temple first of all."

As she said that, Natalia slightly curled her fingers.

The Peter hanging in the air moved his body joints like a puppet.

Finally, when Peter couldn't support his body anymore, Natalia let go. "Peter, you should be grateful this time no one died. Go back!"

Watching Peter walk away with a limp, Natalia laughed. "A high school student with 2000 points. Interesting. Maybe he can take some of Evelynna's edge."

"He could be tried first. Let's see how he does in the Blood Cultivation Realm. Then we'll decide."

After saying that, Natalia's phone rang.

As she put the phone to her ear, her eyes widened. "What? That kid's score just went up? 2200 points? That's already enough to pass the city guard test! Is his familiar stronger than an angel?"

"Wait!"

"What did you say? His familiar is a low-level succubus?"

After hearing the report, Natalia couldn't remember how many times she had been shocked.

In the Lord's mansion, everything was quiet. The guards all held their breath and didn't say a word.

Suddenly, a shouting match came from outside the door.

The principal of Dusk High School, Charles, and the principal of Morning Light High School, Mark, were arguing as they walked into the mansion.

"Mark, Logan is a great talent. He should be trained at Dusk High School. Putting him in your hands is a waste! You can't just think about your own interests and ignore the student's future!"

"Charles, stop talking nonsense in the Lord's mansion! Our Morning Light students just can't afford the money to help them train. But in other ways, they're not worse than your Dusk High students!"

Hearing the two principals arguing, Lord Natalia pinched her temples again, very annoyed.

The reason the two principals were fighting was because Twilight City hadn't had a talent like this for ten years.

And now, in just one year, both of them had appeared.

As educational leaders, they naturally had to fight over them.

An elite-level high school student? Even the university principals would fight for him.

Because if this student didn't die young, he could one day become a lord like Natalia, ruling a city.

No principal could resist that temptation.

Thinking that, Natalia took a deep breath and let out her power to stop the two principals from arguing. "Okay, okay, don't use the 'born rich, born poor' idea on the students."

"This was just a potential test. We can't see Logan's full power. Let's watch a little more. For now, let Logan stay at Morning Light High School."

Hearing that the Lord supported him, Principal Mark looked proud and gave Charles a big look.

"Wait a second," he suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered, "Lord, with a 2200-point potential, do you think our school, with its tight budget, could...?"

"Give Logan the top-tier training contract. All the training resources will be paid for by the Lord's mansion. Also, let him pick one treasure from the Lord's treasure vault." Natalia's lips curled slightly. "Oh, and Temple will also sponsor a prize. You can take Logan to Nancy Priest and collect it later."

When Mark and Charles heard how generous Natalia was, they exchanged a confused look. "I thank you, Lord, but are you sure Temple will sponsor Logan? That kid has been trouble for Nancy Priest before."

"Kuku~ You don't believe me? You'll see when you get there," Natalia laughed, not revealing the truth.

After Mark and Charles left, Natalia finally sent the evidence of Diana and Peter trying to kill Logan to Nancy Priest. "You made a mistake? You don't get to be the only one who suffers. Kuku~!"

...

After a day of checks, Logan finally left the hospital with Lilith.

But before they even got out the hospital door, a helicopter had already landed in front of the hospital.

Principal Mark and Colonel Owen jumped out of the plane and handed Logan an envelope.

Logan broke the seal and saw a stack of contracts. He looked up. "What's this?"

"It's your training agreement from the school. From now on, you can get resources and cash every month according to the contract. It's worth ten million."

Ten million?

Logan's eyes lit up.

Even though it wasn't as shocking as the fifty million before, this was a monthly salary!

A huge surprise!

Seeing Logan was happy, Principal Mark's eyes turned into crescent moons. "This contract is just the beginning."

Then, Colonel Owen pulled out three boxes from behind and handed them to Logan. "The real treasures are these three."

"First, a list of treasures from the Lord's mansion. You can choose one as a reward."

"Second, a Philosopher's Stone from Temple. Wear it on your familiar tamer, and you can store one of your familiar's skills inside. When in danger, the tamer can instantly use it to fight."

"Third, a special team invitation from the military. We found an elite-level Blood Cultivation Realm outside the city. You can join the exploration as a mercenary. All the rewards go to you. This is a rare chance."
