Chapter 189

Massachusetts.

Located in the northern part of the United States, it is surrounded by states like Connecticut and New York. Although it is a state, its area is quite small; it would take several such states combined to equal one large state.

Because of its proximity to New York, an economic hub, its schools and economy have developed quite well, forming a belt surrounding New York State.

Prestigious schools like MIT and Harvard are all located in this region.

In this era, the requirements for these prestigious schools are quite strict; they do not simply look at academic grades when recruiting students. They also conduct interviews to assess specific abilities.

Of course, if you have a letter of recommendation, that is a different matter.

This is also a form of social networking and human connection.

Harvard University.

Looking at this prestigious school, Louis sent Yulenka inside.

Aside from helping Yulenka and Hailey find suitable accommodation over the past few days, this was Louis's first time entering Harvard. The school looked quite impressive; the magnificence of the various buildings lived up to its reputation. Especially after entering the teaching buildings, the various portraits of famous people and famous quotes inside further displayed a scholarly atmosphere.

These were all famous people who had attended Harvard.

There were politicians, scientists, economists, artists...

No matter the industry, Harvard seemed to have achieved success, especially in some mainstream research fields, where it was a leader.

This is the foundation of a prestigious school.

For people from the lower classes, school has always been the largest and broadest path to upward mobility. As long as you get in, it doesn't matter if your family background or finances are lacking.

Because the people here have connections in politics, economics, and other fields. They are all descendants of big shots from various American industries, and part of the reason they come here is to network with each other.

And those who step in here naturally gain the qualifications to access these connections.

Don't look at how America touts human rights, freedom, the spirit of contract, and claims not to care about social connections; in reality, it is the same everywhere. In many industries, if you don't have someone to guide you or have a sufficient stepping stone, don't even think about getting deep into it! You will only be jointly and tacitly suppressed by the people in that industry!

Under these circumstances, the value of school alumni is self-evident; this is a natural circle.

A good university can truly change one's destiny.

This is also the reason why Louis let Yulenka enter here; with the help of the resources here, her future path will be much easier to walk.

"Harvard University has produced quite a few political figures. The President is only those few terms, but for other members of Congress and ministers of important departments, if you have carefully read the materials I gave you, you would know that most of them are passed down according to families."

"Among them, these families need attention..."

While Louis was looking for the dormitory with Yulenka in the dormitory building, he was explaining to her. It was still early, and girls were still allowed to enter the dormitory. Even so, many girls looked over frequently.

Beside Louis and Yulenka was Hailey. Because the two were close, and Harvard's start date was earlier, he sent Yulenka first.

Yulenka listened very carefully.

She was very interested in this aspect, and her talent since childhood had basically been in this area.

However, Louis still gave her a warning.

"Don't be too careless. Although school is a small society, it is still very different from the real society. The set of rules you use in school may not necessarily work outside."

"Especially in politics, this is an extremely complex circle: intertwined connections, division of interests, shifting of responsibilities, and buck-passing. If you are not careful, you will be sold by others and still help them count the money."

Yulenka nodded seriously. Louis never spoke empty words. Since he said so, the matter must be very important, and she had to take it to heart.

However, how does Louis know so much about these things?

Isn't he younger than me?

This thought flashed through Yulenka's mind, and she immediately focused her attention on Louis's words.

Soon, Yulenka's dormitory arrived.

Yulenka hugged Louis, "Don't forget the agreement."

Louis nodded.

After watching Yulenka walk inside, Louis looked at Hailey.

"Well, shall we go see the school first or go back?"

Hailey thought for a moment, "Where are you planning to go?"

Her sense of smell was very keen. With Louis's style, it was impossible that he just came to send the two of them off; there must be other purposes.

Louis smiled, "I'll probably go to New York to take a look. After all, it's a world-famous metropolis. Wall Street, Broadway, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square—I'll stroll through these places."

"Oh, then I'd better go to school first."

Hailey was not interested in these; she wanted to see if there was a suitable experimental environment in the new school.

Louis had taught her some very interesting things, mysterious powers that were dazzling and mesmerizing, and she couldn't wait to try them out.

To this, Louis naturally had no objections.

He took Hailey toward MIT, which was not far from here.

On the way, Louis also told her some things about Mary, so that she could go and ask Mary for advice when the time came.

Over the years, Louis and Mary had never lost contact; they often talked on the phone. During winter and summer vacations, Mary also often came back, so during this time, Mary had already innovated the knowledge Louis taught her back then and developed a set of effective basic theories.

And this was done in her spare time; most of the time, her energy was still focused on her studies. Otherwise, her achievements would only be more astonishing.

By Louis's side, Mary's comprehension was the most terrifying; even Louis himself felt inferior. And with her current knowledge of pharmacology and alchemy, it was more than enough to teach Hailey, a beginner.

As for Mary, Hailey naturally knew her. Back then, the four of them had escaped together. However, it seemed the other party had long since re-established contact with Louis?

Out of curiosity, Hailey asked many questions about Mary.

Only then did she learn that Mary had re-encountered Louis several years ago and had been in contact with him all these years, and had also been following him. She was also an out-and-out genius, but because of family factors and personal reasons, she went to another place, which was why she hadn't seen her at home.

And with Louis's narration, Hailey's mood also became cautious. She could tell that Louis's attitude toward Mary was very different from his attitude toward family members.

It actually carried a trace of doting.

This was simply incredible!

During this time, she could be considered to have deepened her understanding of Louis. Although this person could be considered a good person to some extent, his emotions were restrained. Most of the time, he maintained a cold posture, and toward others, even relatives, he was only slightly close.

How could he show it so obviously?

Perhaps Mary had undergone some changes over the years.

Holding this thought, Hailey met Mary.

How should she put it? It was the same as she guessed, but also a bit different.

MIT.

As a world-famous prestigious school like Harvard, the environment here was actually somewhat similar to Harvard. Perhaps this was the common point of prestigious schools?

At the school gate, a beautiful girl with long golden hair was holding books and waiting.

She wore a black school uniform, her long golden hair fluttered, her face was three-dimensional with a hint of softness, her figure was curvy but wrapped in a conservative school uniform, and her pair of black eyes were very bright and extremely spirited.

Seeing Louis, she immediately cheered and trotted over.

Louis also revealed a smile and caught Mary who pounced on him, "Hey, you've gained quite a bit of weight."

"No way, I'm just growing."

Mary hugged Louis, full of smiles, and suddenly kissed Louis on the face.

A suppressed exclamation sounded from the surroundings.

It turned out that quite a few students at the school gate had noticed this. There was no way around it; Mary was very famous in school, and famous people naturally attract other people's attention.

Louis hugged Mary and spun her around before putting her down, pinching her nose, "How have you been lately?"

"Pretty good, same as before."

Mary looked indifferent, "Studying, researching, writing papers, publishing, receiving awards, and then continuing."

"I have recently shifted my focus to those things you taught me. That Qi Gong practice is not scientific at all, and it is not as traceable as alchemy and pharmacology. I was just about to ask you for advice."

"Don't worry, I'll teach you. With your comprehension, you should be able to learn it very quickly."

"By the way, you might have to teach one more person." Louis remembered the forgotten Hailey beside him.

?

Mary was a bit puzzled.

Louis turned his head to look at Hailey, and Mary followed his gaze, only then noticing there was another person beside them.

Looking at Hailey, Mary felt the other party looked a bit familiar, but couldn't say who she was, "Who are you?"

Hailey looked at Mary. The smallest tsundere brat back then had now become a big beauty. It was truly hard to believe.

"Hailey, Emilia Manor."

The keyword was spoken.

Mary's expression changed immediately.

For her, that experience at Emilia Manor was a profound memory that would be hard to forget in this life. At the same time, the name Hailey combined with Emilia Manor immediately made her recognize the person in front of her.

"Sister Hailey?"

Mary revealed a smile and leaned forward.

After a simple re-introduction, Mary took Louis and Hailey into the school and introduced the school.

On the way, the two also talked about their respective experiences over the years.

One was a family custody dispute, the other was punishing a pedophile which resulted in the liposuction worm incident.

"..."

"So, that's why you came here?"

"Yeah, the other side of the world is not stable; one must master power to protect oneself."

"Don't worry, I will teach you well."

"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal."

With the friendship from childhood, the two's communication was quite harmonious. Louis, seeing this, felt relieved and began to focus on looking around.

Soon.

They arrived at the school cafeteria.

It was almost mealtime, and Mary ordered some food.

Steak, vegetable salad, and milk.

Quite simple.

"Louis, how many days are you staying this time?" Mary asked.

"Hard to say, and I'll probably go to New York in these few days; I won't stay here for long."

"Ah?" Mary was visibly disappointed.

"You can go back to Orlando after you graduate. By the way, where is your uncle?"

Mary bit into the steak hard, the juices overflowing in her mouth.
