Chapter 332: She did it?
At his response, Charlotte scoffed. "Low Deal, an organization dedicated to killing humans for use in experiments developed by the Grand Sorcerers. Their base was placed, in violation of established rules, below one of the Immovable Mountains. How will you cover up the shame caused by this destruction towards our Immovable Mountains, old man?
Or is there someone above you who can cover them up?" she asked, rendering the old man present speechless.
But before he could respond, Charlotte stood up. She walked over to where the old man stood and stood beside him. "Are you looking for a culprit? You don't need to look for one. I did it. This crap just sullies my territory.
You people are disappointing me more and more with practical garbage trying to advance at the cost of sacrificing your own people... The next time I discover something like this, I'll lure you to that place and blow you all to pieces."
Among all the people who knew of her and had seen her, they could ascertain that Lady Charlotte was a decisive woman. Once she decided about something, she would not back down. It is also this personality that allows her strength to have grown so much in such a short time.
And even more so because of the great status she holds.

When the old man heard her words, he could not think of a way to react immediately.
A decision made by Lady Charlotte had to be respected. Those were the orders from above. But this decision...
Hadn't she crossed the line? The burned research was too crucial for the Grand Sorcerers.
Still, despite the fact that he was stronger than Charlotte, the old man did not move and waited for her to disappear into the distance to look at his subordinates.
When he saw them, he felt like beating them to death, for they were all much more relaxed right now. Some were even smiling.
It was as if they told him: Lady Charlotte herself did it. What do you expect us to do? Even you didn't dare to stop her, and you pretend that we did?
Still, in the end, he just took a deep breath repeatedly until he calmed down.
"We're leaving." He spoke in a hoarse voice and, without another word, flew back to the Nevod Mountains, leaving the situation in deep silence once again.
Soon after, the silence was disturbed by Charlotte's beautiful figure. She sat once again on the previous rock and looked out over the river. A beautiful smile was on her face, as a face was reflected in said river.
'You haven't changed a bit, my love. Let your wife cover for you this time. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, though.' She smiled as those thoughts passed through her mind, and she kept thinking while looking at the river.
...
Matt and Alice returned to the Spirit Academy by another way. They thought they would encounter some trouble but could return quietly a day later.
That day, everything was in chaos.
The Webb Family was confirmed to have Low Deal contacts and is in the custody of the Spiritual Alignment judges.
Some teachers were also found guilty and some not guilty were missing.
The Academy was in such chaos that classes were suspended for a few days by the Alignment's decision, as they did not know what retaliation Low Deal could take.
Because of all that big trouble, no one noticed that Matt and Alice had left, much less noticed them when they returned. So, for most of them, those two students had done nothing during the chaos.
But when Matt returned, he met Mia Holmer, who had released the Founder about 12 hours after she arrested him.
He couldn't do anything because of it.
She smiled at Matt.
"Did you make it?" Mia asked as she and Matt locked themselves in the room where they worked.
He nodded at her. "I did, but I must apologize. An oversight in the plans caused that cave to be blown up in its entirety; I couldn't steal the treasure from those guys." He replied and took out some valuable things, including some Magical Artifacts, which he found on the corpses of those guys.
Mia was surprised by that. "So the explosion I felt was that." She said in surprise, though she was amazed to see that he had managed to salvage several of the Artifacts she had created.
Even a ball.
However, in reality, it's the same as always. Matt had not shown it to her before and now decided to do so. He had researched everything about this artifact and already understood how to make a new and better one. He didn't need them.
Whereas for Mia, it was the hard work of many years. Naturally, she wanted them.
She nodded after seeing them again. "They haven't put them to good use, but they seem to use it a lot for magics of various kinds. Including necromancer magic." After investigating them for a moment, she grabbed them and put them back on the table.
Matt didn't say anything regarding what she was saying. He was thoughtful about a few things.
"What's wrong?" Mia asked after seeing him like that, and he shook his head.
"No, it's nothing. It's just some issues that are bothering my head," he replied, and she smiled.
"The Founder should be planning something new shortly. So be careful. The Alignment has decided to hand over the power to run it to me, so I've already ordered that that guy can't give you orders. But I'm not sure he won't try to move in another way." She spoke.
She started to tell him some more things and asked him for more information about what he had done this time in that place, so they both talked calmly while Matt waited for Alice to finish stabilizing her power.
...
At the same time, in another place inside the Main Tower of the Spiritual Academy.
The Founder had calmed down by now.
'The destruction of Low Deal will cause me several problems with those Grand Sorcerers. But if I excuse myself with the idea of a rebellion against me, all should be well.' He thought as he held a scroll in his hand.
He looked down to see it and smiled.
'As for you, Zen Varrmar... A vampire, eh? This information will be so important that it will serve me to regain full control of my Academy. Still... I will not sell you out. Let me kill you first, you impertinent little student.' A sadistic smile emerged on his face as he opened the scroll in his hand.
This scroll had a strange aura about it, one that would make anyone's hair stand on end in a moment.
Even the Founder felt frightened by this and closed the scroll again, but his smile remained.
Still, that smile soon froze when he felt a presence very close to him.
He stood up abruptly and turned around.
There, a woman with long black hair was leaning gently against the window, looking out at the Academy from there.
She was so beautiful that it shocked him, and her voice soon reached his ears. "Ohh. A Death Curse, huh? It's been a long time since I last saw one."
