t cough, finally making the boy realize and stop.It's clear that this clumsy young master isn't doing himself any favors by speaking so freely in public.Some key information can be told to the detecti...Chapter 190: Mr. Lauren's Series of Unfortunate Events

In the frigid, bone-chilling confines of the prison, a brief silence descended between the two cells occupied by Lance and Adams.

In the dimness, only the sound of occasional drops of water freezing and the low moan of the wind whistling through the narrow passage could be heard.

"What do you have to deceive me with"

Lanche's voice sounded very disappointed.

He was just frozen solid, his wrists stiff too, and his movements as he exited the shadow world were incredibly sluggish.

"……"

Although Adams knew that Lang was lying, for a moment he had a suspicion that he might have misunderstood Lang.

His acting is so realistic, it sounds like he's disappointed because he doesn't feel trusted.

Perhaps it was also because the plan failed, causing him to be emotionally moved, and this emotion further catalyzed his already powerful ability with words.

"Lance, I know your forte is strategy and psychological warfare. So there's no such thing as honorable or dishonorable in this situation. Today, I'm only here to fight you. If you keep using that surrender tactic to deceive me, it'll only make you look foolish."

After a moment of contemplation, Adams stated with icy certainty.

He would no longer condemn Lance for anything, after all, the rules of this duel had already been set beforehand, and there was no shame in employing any means necessary to win. Victory was the only truth that mattered.

Just keep from entering Ranch's logic no matter what he says next.

This is also the biggest weakness of Lance.

If the opponent doesn't engage in effective communication with him, none of his tricks will work.

As long as this principle is adhered to, he will surely win this gamble, and Lynch will undoubtedly lose!

The Randy in the neighboring cell remained silent upon hearing this.

He just walked slowly back to the depths of the cell and threw all the accumulated supplies out from between the iron bars.

Hearing a sharp clang, Adams looked outside with some confusion.

He could see the supplies in the lateral corridor through the iron bars. Lanchi seemed to have really lost interest and just abandoned all the resources!

What are you doing

Adam asked in surprise.

To prevent you from thinking I'm deceiving you, I'm truly leaving. People should have more trust in each other.

After he finished speaking, any sounds within Lanchi Prison suddenly disappeared.

…"

Adam stood behind the bars, gazing at the supplies on the ground, lost in thought.

Wouldn't it be possible that I've really misunderstood Lancy

If Lance really meant well.

But he, with a villainous heart, couldn't believe him.

Wouldn't that make you look small-minded

……

Here at the Jera Memorial Square now.

The stone pavement rippled with rain, but it didn't dampen people's enthusiasm. The open-air giant screen in the square even attracted many passing students to stop and watch.

People held colorful umbrellas, forming small clusters of flowers. Raindrops slid from the tips and hit the ground with a crisp "drip-drop" sound.

This sound was almost drowned out by the cacophony of discussion on the square.

"This guy, he's at it again, fooling Adams!"

"Don't believe him, Adams!"

For some reason, it was the students of the Icterus Academy who started cheering for Adams instead.

Lance is clearly playing mind games again.

This time's disposal of assets is undoubtedly a gamble, hoping to speed up the game and achieve ultimate deception.

First, you could potentially appeal to your opponent's conscience, making them feel guilty and choose to leave the Shadow World.

Moreover, it can also mislead opponents about the actual richness of your resources.

Because many people familiar with Land Cruiser have already guessed it——

Lance will definitely find a way to get all the supplies back from the hallway!

The scene of these students calling out to Adams at this moment made the few Arolon students watching from the square a little awkward.

Isn't this the home ground of the Ikeretha Academy

On a giant open-air screen.

The more Adam sat in prison, the more he got tangled up in his thoughts.

His conscience was truly aching, worrying that he might have misunderstood Lance.

Before long, Adam's brows relaxed again, and a hint of a sneer curled at his lips.

"Lance, stop pretending. No matter how you try to sway my mind or what schemes you have, I won't believe a word you say until this shadow world is over!"

Adams once again asserted his will, his voice unwavering as he called out to Ranch next door!

The more Lance communicated with him, the more suspicious he seemed.

If you can think rationally, excluding emotional factors, then you can avoid Lancy's trap.

Lanche will always only play mind games with you!

……

However, what comes next.

Just moments ago, the bustling Jerla Memorial Square, a cacophony of voices amidst the pouring rain, suddenly seemed to fall silent as if cut off by an invisible force.

The sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella and the ground, as well as the laughter of students, had all disappeared, leaving only a heavy silence.

No one could speak easily, they stared at each other with incredulous eyes, fixated on the giant screen exposed to the open air.

Besides the incessant rain, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

It's just within the scope of the audience's view —

Lanche really disappeared.

This means that Ranch has exited the Shadow World.

He admitted it.

"Lan Qi, is he crazy!"

"How is he supposed to explain this to Dean Laurent!"

The square was instantly thrown into chaos.

The rain fell harder and harder, like a torrential downpour. The raindrops hit the ground, forming ripples of water. The original silence was broken, replaced by a cacophony of noise.

They never expected Lance to play so big, and then they just surrendered!

Even if someone guessed that Lanchi couldn't beat Adams, they never imagined Lanchi would lose like this.

"That's not right..."

After a long period of commotion, a student hesitantly spoke —

Haven't you noticed, Adams is desperate now. He must be as hard as steel inside, convinced that Lance will take this psychological warfare all the way.

Many students looked up, and saw that Adams was still struggling in the dim, cold iron prison.

From time to time, he would taunt the empty cell next door:

"Lance, there's no need to hold back. Your acting is atrocious!"

"If you keep this up, you're going to look foolish."

Your psychological warfare might work against the Ruinous Saintess, but it won't work against me, for I will see my convictions through.

..."

The students in the square fell silent again.

Lanche lost easily, but Adams won hard-fought.

He was cheated badly by Ranch.

It's estimated that he wouldn't come out unless pushed to his absolute limit. Adams now doesn't believe anything anymore.

This 【Despair Piercing Cage】 artificial world, to endure the record-breaking level of suffering, will be tortured beyond living.

That was a challenge that transcended the limits of human willpower.

After challenging yourself, you should probably go to the hospital for a few days.

It's hard to imagine what Adams' mental state would be like if he found out that Lynch had actually retired early and he had been battling the air all along.

"No, it's not that simple…"

Soon, more students familiar with Ranch were discovered.

Adam was on the second level, they saw the third level, but Lance's plot wasn't that simple.

……

Learning and Education Building, seven-story atrium.

This special space is surrounded by towering glass walls. Despite the heavy rain outside, the whole space remains bright.

The outside world became hazy, with rain constantly washing against the glass, making it sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

In the courtyard, senior students of the Academy of Sages sat quietly, their eyes focused on the giant magical screen on the wall.

When the ranch on the screen disappeared from prison, they couldn't believe that Lance, whom their Academy of Wisdom had high hopes for, just surrendered to Adams like this!

Until Lance actually walked out from the artificial shadow world, activating the Void Gate at the Terminal, he smiled sheepishly, as if ashamed of his shortcomings and letting everyone down.

This smile made everything clear.

This guy is definitely on purpose!

Mother Teresa ran to Lance's side in amazement.

"How could you just give up What are you going to do now! Dean Laurent will be back tomorrow!"

Mother Teresa urgently stopped Lance and asked him.

How could she not have thought Ranch would lose so badly!

While Alanch merely stopped, his expression remaining calm.

"You think Lord Loren should apologize to Lady Julianna"

He smiled and glanced back at the screen where Adam was still suffering in prison. "" he asked Theresa.

That gloomy and hopeless frost-cage, compared to this seven-tiered courtyard which remained warm and bright even in the rain, was like being separated by heaven and hell. Adam was over there, Lynch over here.

"…"

Mother Teresa stared at the screen, feeling a lump in her throat.

Now it really doesn't matter if we win or lose.

Even if Lance doesn't mention the bet.

He tormented Adams into this state.

Lord Loren will probably have to go to Lady Juliana and apologize in person.

And so on.

Mother Teresa lowered her head and counted on her fingers.

First, Adams achieved his desire and won against Lance.

Then Dean Lauren also apologized because "Juliana's students were tortured too badly"...

Thus, Lady Juliana will receive a sincere apology from Dean Lorens.

Lanche fulfilled his bet with Adam.

Next.

According to the agreement Ranchi and Julianna made previously—the third point being—“If you can forgive him, he hopes to invite you to tour the royal capital together and tell you many important things he wants to say.”

Once Juliana accidentally forgave the sincere Loren.

Therefore, the conditions for "Forgiving Laurent" have been met.

Then, Lance will bring up this clause to Juliana and ask her to keep her promise to go on a date with Lauren.

At that time, Dean Loren will be forced to complete a series of chain conditions and then start dating directly!

The honest Juliana Knight would never shirk her responsibility.

But what she was thinking when she was on this coercive date.

Then it's hard to say.

Teressa had to admit that Lanci was a genius; he could come up with solutions that satisfied everyone's demands, but each time it left people feeling like they'd swallowed a fly.

This guy is still alive today because he's incredibly skilled.

"Oh dear... I have to take a day off today, the cat at home is sick and needs to see the doctor."

Mother Teresa, talking to herself, tucked her hands into her pockets and walked away quickly with her head down.

Bye bye.

She left work very early today, it has nothing to do with her.

I hope that Dr. Lauren will be alright when he returns tomorrow.

And the cat owner on the ground seemed to be gradually understanding the situation, falling into a world of cat thoughts.

Its cat brain is a little overloaded.

(The End)

[ ], unable to stand the arguing among Lianjin Academy students, Lan Qi casually brought up the concept of "levels" as a comparison, encouraging them to find a unified standard for measurement.Unexpected...
