Chapter 114: Insidious

Leon's departure made Tuoleisi feel angry and isolated. He had originally thought Leon would join him in dealing with Robin, but Robin's astonishing performance caused Leon to choose to retreat.

Tuoleisi's heart was filled with resentment and bitterness, but he also realized that Robin's strength had already exceeded his expectations, and he alone could not possibly contend with him.

At the same time, Robin's test results spread quickly throughout the academy, drawing widespread attention.

Many students and Title: Instructor alike took a keen interest in the young Knight.

Robin's performance not only proved his talent, but also made him the focal figure of the academy.

Robin himself paid no mind to the gossip and attention. He continued to remain calm and low‑key, focusing on his own cultivation and studies.

Only he knows that he is a legendary Knight, with his attribute growth right there; if he can't even pass a test like this, he'd have to smash a block of tofu to death.

Although Tuoleisi felt angry, he also understood that he could not currently pose a threat to Robin.

He could only temporarily endure, waiting for an opportunity.

Leon and Pippen's departure also made Tuoleisi realize that he needed to reassess his situation and plans.

A dangerous scheme was revealed in Tuoleisi's sinister smile.

Relying on his own and the academy's power, he could no longer pose a substantive threat to Robin.

Thus, he turned his gaze beyond the academy, devising an even more sinister method—leveraging the Wizard Council's power to deal with Robin.

Tuoleisi thought to himself, "If the Wizard Council learns of a being like Allen, they will certainly be interested in him. Given his status as the future heir of Viscount Wilk, it is absolutely impossible for him to join the Wizard Council. To eliminate this future strong opponent, the Wizard Council would definitely act covertly; even if they cannot kill him, they can cripple him."

With that in mind, Tuoleisi sprang into action.

He used his family's network to secretly contact an agent of the Wizard Council, leaking Robin's information.

He specifically emphasized Robin's astonishing physical qualities displayed in the test, as well as the possibility that he might be simultaneously practicing multiple Breathing Methods.

This information would undoubtedly pique the Wizard Council's interest.

A few days later, Tuoleisi received a reply from the Wizard Council.

The other side expressed great interest in Robin and pledged to send someone to investigate.

Tuoleisi felt a secret joy; he knew his plan was already half successful.

Meanwhile, Robin was completely unaware of all this.

He still focused on his cultivation and academy life, not noticing the approaching danger at all.

Yet the atmosphere in the academy quietly shifted; some unfamiliar faces began to appear around the academy, their gazes occasionally sweeping over Robin as if observing something.

Leon and Pippen also noticed these anomalies, but they chose to remain silent.

They knew Tuoleisi had already taken action, and they did not want to get involved in this dangerous game.

Melinda also took notice, but she was more eager for Robin's response.

She was well aware of the Wizard Council's nature, even though she didn't know what forces they would send to capture Robin.

Yet when she thought of Robin's hidden strength, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A legendary Knight—who knows what price the Wizard Council will have to pay.

One night, while Robin was alone training in the academy's training ground, a dark silhouette silently appeared behind him.

It was a mysterious figure clad in a black robe, with a strange smile on his face.

"Allen Wilk Walter, truly lives up to his reputation," the Black-robed Man whispered, his voice hoarse and cold.

Robin suddenly turned, his eyes sharp as he looked at the other party: "Who are you?"

The Black-robed Man chuckled lightly, slowly raised his hand, and a dark glow emerged from his palm: "Who I am is irrelevant. What matters is that the Wizard Council is very interested in you. Come with us; your talent shouldn't be wasted in a place like this."

A cold glint flashed in Robin's eyes; he knew he had already fallen into a perilous situation. Yet he did not retreat, replying coldly: "What if I refuse?"

The Black-robed Man shook his head, his tone tinged with regret: "Then we'll have to forcefully take you away. Trust me, you won't like that method."

Before the words finished, the Black-robed Man suddenly struck, a black energy rushing straight toward Robin.

Robin reacted swiftly, his form flashing as he dodged the attack.

As the two faced off, the academy's alarm suddenly blared.

Clearly, the academy's higher‑ups had already sensed the anomaly and began to act.

The Black-robed Man frowned, evidently not having expected things to become so complicated.

"Looks like today isn't a good time," the Black-robed Man whispered, then his figure flashed and vanished into the darkness.

Robin stood where he was, his gaze heavy.

"The Wizard Council again—sure enough, they're everywhere."

Tuoleisi's scheme was clearly even more sinister and meticulous.

Not only had he leaked Robin's information to the Wizard Council, but he also deliberately triggered the academy's alarm, creating a false impression that the academy placed extreme importance on Robin.

In this way, the Wizard Council would become even more convinced of Robin's value, thereby intensifying their attention and actions toward him.

Tuoleisi stood in the shadows, a smug smile at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, "The more the Wizard Council values Robin, the more they will stop at nothing to obtain him."

"When the time comes, even if Robin is extremely strong, he won't be able to cope with the Wizard Council's pressure."

His plan was indeed clever. The Wizard Council had already developed a strong interest in Robin's talent, and the academy's alarm further convinced them that Robin was an extremely important figure.

Though the Black-robed Man temporarily withdrew, the Wizard Council would certainly not stop there.

They might dispatch even more powerful Wizards, or even employ more covert methods to deal with Robin.

Meanwhile, the academy's higher‑ups were also alarmed by the siren.

Melinda's sudden intervention caused the investigation to fizzle out.

As one of the three vice principals of the Minerva Knight Academy, she not only wielded great authority but was also renowned for her inscrutable wisdom and tactics.

Her interest in Robin was clearly not solely because of his talent, but stemmed from deeper considerations.

When the other senior officials of the academy were alarmed and grew curious about Robin, upon learning that he was the target of Melinda's attention, they tacitly chose to forget.

Her attitude left the other Title: Instructor perplexed, yet no one dared to question her decision.

After all, Melinda's status and influence within the academy were unmatched.

"What's the hurry, the Wizard Council hasn't taken a loss yet, so why are you so eager to intervene!" Mei Lin Da's tone carried a hint of laziness and disdain, as if everything were under her control.

Her gaze flickered with an elusive light, clearly showing interest in Luo Bin's performance and the impending conflict.
