He tapped the paper lightly with one finger, his eyes sparkling with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn’t anything obvious. Nothing in the original story would have told him that I was behind the saint trial or that I would steal the divination board.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head, a playful grin spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His suspicion must have started when I proposed to Rosalina. That’s why he sent spies to check on me. But that wasn’t enough proof. In the main story, the real Julius only showed up much later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius suddenly sat up straighter, his eyes widening with excitement as another piece fell into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I took Rose away before that trash could even arrive at the academy. That must have been the moment he realized I had transmigrated. He probably thought I was manipulating the plot to survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a short, cocky chuckle and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But everything changed when I set up that saint trial. He must have noticed it wasn’t in the original plot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s when he realized I was an outside factor, someone who could change things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s grin turned colder, more dangerous. He clenched his fist lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, to predict that I would steal the divination board, he had to believe I was the real Julius, not just some transmigrator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, only someone as reckless and scheming as me would pull off something like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, rubbing his chin, his expression turning thoughtful again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he warned the academy that someone would steal the divination board... but he didn’t give them my name. Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spark flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he think I would get caught anyway? Or was he trying to hide my name so my all-seeing eyes wouldn’t notice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius laughed softly, clearly proud of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s probably the second one. My all-seeing eyes work best when something dangerous is about to happen to me. They’re basically cheats, honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile faded a little as he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it didn’t work. My cheat eyes kicked in, I escaped the trap, and I still stole the divination board.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s face suddenly grew serious. He leaned forward, elbows on his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then he probably got anxious. He realized that if he did nothing, he was finished. After all, Rose’s goal includes wiping out her entire family... and I would definitely help her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes suddenly widened in shock. The color drained slightly from his face as the full picture hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He came up with his next desperate move...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, the image of Rosalina’s lonely back walking away flashed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure looked so distant... so vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rose is in danger!\" Julius muttered, his voice urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot up from the bench so fast that the paper flew from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alfred!\" Julius turned to him immediately. His face started turning pale by the second. \"Rose is in danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard, his eyes wide with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He must have informed his father that Rose was in a relationship with me. She doesn’t even like me that much yet... but he must have created some fake evidence against her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And knowing that old man, he will definitely get angry at Rose. He might try to punish her... or even kill her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred, who had been waiting silently for orders, asked calmly, \"So what should we do, my lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s voice grew tighter. \"That son of a bitch won’t go easy on her. And that’s exactly what Nickel wanted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why the First Elder showed up today. They will either kill her or force her to obey... because they think she betrayed the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s anxiety was growing with every passing second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started pacing back and forth in front of the bench. Alfred stood still, waiting patiently for his next command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an even worse possibility hit Julius. His steps faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right... they wouldn’t kill her. She is an unrivaled talent. They will probably try to control her instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept pacing, running his hands through his hair. Alfred waited quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius sank deep into his thoughts. ’If they sent their First Elder, then they are definitely planning to take her away...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alfred,\" he spoke up suddenly, stopping in the middle of his pacing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think you can take out all the people gathered there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew the answer would be complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred had passed the second heavenly trial of the void stage, but the First Elder was no weakling either, he was also at the second heavenly trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can,\" Alfred replied honestly. \"I can take down the First Elder. However, it will be hard to fight him while everyone else is around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elders usually don’t travel alone. So it will be difficult to take them all down while also protecting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred’s voice turned firm and stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I cannot compromise your safety. If things go badly, I will retreat with you immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius heard those words and clutched his head with both hands, looking completely stressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fucked...\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there for a moment, eyes squeezed shut, desperately searching for a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, an idea struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alfred!\" He looked up at him right away, eyes now filled with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have investigated the First Elder and Nickel thoroughly, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred gave a small nod. \"Yes, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stepped closer, his expression turning eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... are there any of their loved ones in this city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d19a93cc76ffe2ea1527d5f39871c85604242611ee4d213021b246c901faa20","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-99","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-97",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
