I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 850 - 536: The First Meeting

"Mr. Jack, it’s really you!"

Lucy didn’t seem too surprised, but her face was full of joy.

She couldn’t help but take two steps forward but managed to curb her excitement in time, stopping in her tracks. Only her fervent gaze remained fixed on the gentleman with the black hat from beginning to end.

Just as Lucy was about to speak again, she suddenly noticed the girl beside her, Asoka, trembling all over, exhibiting an extremely abnormal state.

She turned her head and found the little girl as pale as a sheet, looking at Mr. Jack with terrified eyes, mumbling:

"De... demon..."

Lucy was a little surprised. She didn’t understand why Asoka seemed so scared, as if she had known Mr. Jack before.

Polaris and Sunny Xiaoyu, standing nearby, exchanged bewildered glances. From the current situation, it seemed both new students knew Mr. Jack, but their reactions were entirely different.

One was overjoyed, the other terrified.

It had an oddly surreal feeling.

"Don’t just stand there, come and sit." The gentleman with the black hat spoke calmly with a faint smile.

His words seemed to possess a certain magic power. All four students dared not disobey, even Asoka, who fought the urge to turn and flee, shakily and obediently bowed her head and followed the others to sit on the sofa.

At this moment, her mind was blank, like a quail hiding her head in her cloak, afraid to look at the "demon," not knowing what terrifying things lay ahead...

"Sorry, Lucy, I’ve been busy these days and didn’t know so much had happened."

Chen Lun didn’t pay much attention to the trembling Asoka. He first turned to Lucy, who was becoming increasingly beautiful and radiant, and said apologetically,

As she went deeper and deeper into the mystic realm and became a Mid Sequence Transcendent... her temperament became more prominent. Under the original seductive beauty, there was an added tranquility and elegance.

What Chen Lun found commendable was that Lucy, without much assistance from him, had managed to advance to the Mid Sequence on her own and entered Saint Byron Academy for further study. It was quite an achievement.

After all, before she met him, she was just a low-level thief with little education.

"It’s alright, Mr. Jack, seeing you again, Lucy is already very satisfied..." Lucy’s pretty face showed a smile.

But, for some reason, a surge of bitterness rose in her heart.

It was like being a kitten abandoned for a long time, suddenly encountering a somewhat remorseful owner at a street corner.

Chen Lun detected the grievance in her words but could only sigh inwardly, then smiled and said,

"Mrs. Julie has told me about your progress. It seems you’ve not only worked hard on your Mystery Studies but also delved into some social sciences, which is great... You can continue to stay by my side and learn."

Though he currently lacked knowledge above the Mid Sequence in Constellation.

But he had money...

When Principal Hugo returns from his "trip," Chen Lun plans to find an opportunity to talk with him. Then, he would donate a large sum of money to the academy to exchange for Constellation’s Supernatural Knowledge.

And offset the grace Lucy had received from the academy’s knowledge.

Of course, if they didn’t accept money, it wouldn’t matter; he had other sources of knowledge to trade... He believed the Madman School wouldn’t refuse the temptation of knowledge.

Chen Lun lacked nothing but money and knowledge.

Lucy’s joy was overwhelming as she covered her mouth in surprise, "Thank you, Mr. Jack!"

After a brief recollection, Chen Lun turned his attention to Asoka, looking at her extremely fearful expression and couldn’t help but smile... Perhaps the image of him as a demon was hard for her to shake off.

Actually, to say the least, the three members of the Moyier Royal Family he took away were not executed by the Empire but were instead well-fed and well-treated in the Royal City.

However, Chen Lun couldn’t be bothered to explain, merely asking, "How is your father, Mr. Tiha, doing these days?"

"Please... please don’t hurt my father, I beg you..."

At his words, Asoka trembled and immediately lifted her head, pleading with tearful eyes. The other three students looked puzzled, not knowing what Mr. Jack had done to make this girl so terrified.

"Just asking, you don’t have to say if you don’t want to." Chen Lun shook his head and said flatly.

Whether it was due to his high Charm bringing about high affinity, or Asoka seeing that he wasn’t showing any malice, she hesitated for a moment before saying,

"Father is doing well. He often sighs that these days are rare and should be cherished... But several uncles keep trying to get him to return or persuade him to move us to the Beelzebub Kingdom."

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow.

Groveling to the Rose Royal Family and then plotting a comeback?

Asoka’s uncles were either not in their right mind or couldn’t stand the plain life... After all, it’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

Having grown accustomed to wealth and power, how could they accept a mundane life?

Chen Lun shook his head. He had neither the time nor the interest to intervene in Asoka’s family affairs. He had asked out of curiosity.

"You will also stay by my side to study Magic Power from now on... To protect your family from trouble, you must gain great strength on your own, and this strength can be power, status, or money, as well as extraordinary power beyond the ordinary,"

Chen Lun said flatly, intending to motivate Asoka to study.

"You have lost the first three sources of power you once had. Only the pursuit of knowledge is your best path now, Asoka... Knowledge is power, and it can help you attain the life you want."

"Is that so..."

Asoka showed a confused expression and then lowered her eyes.

She was introverted and timid, often not daring to speak loudly, but deep inside, she harbored hatred toward her family’s elders... Whether for their various provocations toward Father King and Mother Queen or their attempts to use her as a bargaining chip for so-called benefits, Asoka had always felt disgusted, but she lacked the courage and means to resist.

If things really go as this gentleman says, perhaps there can be a different turn of events...

Asoka suppressed his fear of the professor, bit his lower lip, and whispered:

"Jack... Teacher, I will seriously study by your side. Thank you for willing to teach me..."

Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment,

A hurried figure arrived at the door, causing quite a commotion. Everyone turned to look, only to see a tall, blonde young man sticking his head in.

He was quite handsome, with well-defined features, and his light green eyes revealed a sense of playfulness and curiosity.

"Sorry, Professor, I seem to be late."

The young man stood at the door with a smile, scratching his head.

"Felisiano?"

Chen Lun glanced at this guy and then calmly asked.

"Yes, Professor Jack. I am Felisiano Merte... I am very happy to have made it through your selection. I will definitely study magic knowledge well in the future!"

"Whether you study well is not my concern."

Chen Lun said indifferently.

"Before that, can you explain the reason for being late?"

"Uh..."

The blonde young man was momentarily speechless, finally saying with frustration:

"On the way here, I happened to run into Mentor Ruben from Byron’s General History. He said my homework was too perfect, like it wasn’t done by myself... Uh?"

At this point, he suddenly noticed that among the several young people sitting in the living room, there was the white-haired girl who had helped him with his homework.

Felisiano was first dazed, then showed a surprised expression.

"Why are you here too?"

"Ahem, I am also Teacher Jack’s student. You will have to call me senior sister from now on, Felisiano."

Sunny Xiaoyu glanced at the gentleman in the black hat before speaking seriously. Felisiano’s mouth slightly opened, not expecting the coincidence.

He then laughed heartily and quickly called out "senior sister."

Chen Lun’s eyes fleetingly showed mistiness as he scanned the blonde young man, instantly seeing through the other’s fate trajectory.

’Indeed, there are traces of artificial interference, but the method is rather clumsy... Either someone with high fate power is scheming behind him, or this guy is influenced by a mysterious object containing fate power.’

Chen Lun thought.

’If it’s the former, it’s probably someone in the same sequence four "Clown" as me... According to the law of transcendental convergence, it makes sense, since beings in the same path do attract each other, especially at high positions.’

He calculated silently, planning to observe more secretly to see what’s up with Felisiano... If there really is a troublemaker behind him, when the time is ripe, he could use mystical weight’s crushing force to divine and lock onto the true body’s position...

Then fly over and crush him on the spot!

As for why to do so...

’Ascending to Sequence Zero of Fate is my goal. Only by becoming a god can I have enough power to kill the Seven Gods... Except for Your Majesty Oscar, the other high-rankers of fate, I’ll kill one whenever I see one!’

Chen Lun’s indifferent eyes appeared infinitely deep.

Felisiano was scared all over by his stare, coughed awkwardly, shivered and cautiously asked:

"Um... Professor, can I come in? It’s too cold standing at the door, haha, ha."

Chen Lun retracted his gaze and nodded lightly.

"Come in, and close the door behind you."

"Okay, no problem, Professor."

Felisiano quickly laughed.

He stomped his feet, shook off the snow from his shoes, then walked in and gently closed the apartment door behind him.

Seemingly born with a friendly nature, he walked over boldly, sat on the sofa, and said:

"To make up for my being late, I would like to invite Professor Jack and the four senior brothers and sisters to Zoltan Grand Hotel for dinner..."

Polaris and Sunny Xiaoyu were not very familiar with the surroundings, but Lucy and Asoka showed surprised expressions.

Zoltan Grand Hotel was not far from the academy, and also located in Enlightenment Port Downtown. It was one of the top three high-end places in River Bay Area. Having a top-notch dinner there would be quite costly, at least a hundred Blue Gabos.

Lucy, knowing the difficulty of making money, didn’t want a newly met classmate to waste money, but she didn’t dare to decide for Mr. Jack, so she tactfully remained silent.

"That place is too expensive, let’s forget about it."

Chen Lun chuckled lightly.

"It’s okay, it’s just a meal, it won’t cost much Blue Gabos... Mainly I am happy. Being able to learn mystical knowledge under Professor Jack and having four senior brothers and sisters who feel like old friends at first meeting, this meal is on me! Also, a small apology for being late just now, hehe."

Felisiano laughed nonchalantly.

For his enthusiasm and cheerfulness, Lucy and Asoka developed some goodwill towards him. Even Polaris and Sunny Xiaoyu, the two players, thought he was very suitable to be a friend.

"Since that’s the case, let’s go then."

Chen Lun shook his head with a smile, seeing that this student didn’t seem to be short of money, so he agreed indifferently.

All five of his students gathered, which counted as the first official meeting. It was worth celebrating. Rarely did he not go to the library and chose to accept Felisiano’s goodwill and head to the hotel together.
