The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 361: Headmistress Mo

"Since you didn't want me to use that method… then how are you going to become one of us?" Abiel asked.

"There are plenty of ways."

"You sound so sure?"

"When it comes to convincing women? "Asahel chuckled. He then finished his tea before he added, "Let's just say I have special methods to convince them. After all, women, no matter how strong, still have their soft side."

Anna rolled her eyes. Yeah, good luck with that. She was already planning to come back here tonight to make that man suffer. Since her invisibility would disappear in about an hour, she wandered around the castle until she finally visited the headmistress's office. She heard that a lot of parents arrive today, and they were showing concerns about Anna's presence in this school.

She would love to see those people.

And just as she expected, she could already hear shouting before she could even walk inside the headmistress's office.

Just like earlier, she didn't actually get in, but it was because she smelled an Alpha inside.

She was actually worried that the Alpha would be able to smell her.

After all, Alpha's are just different breeds of wolves.

"I am telling you! That child is dangerous! We can't have it here in this school!"

"Mr. McGill! Please lower your voice! You are in the presence of our Alpha!"

"Is this really the time for that Risteard?"

"I just wanted that woman out of this school!"

"I agree with McGill," a deep voice echoed. A deafening silence followed the man's words. It was pretty obvious that the speaker was an Alpha. "Anna Matthews cannot stay here. It would only endanger the other students."

"And why would it endanger other students?" Headmistress Mo asked. "Are you insinuating that we are not capable of defending the students? Hm Urchaid?"

"Headmistress, I didn't take you as someone who would actually defend the child of the monster who killed your husband."

"…" So… Isaac killed Mo Li's father? So, that was the reason he hated Anna. She sighed inwardly and continued to listen.

"Urchaid… let me tell you something. It was the King who wanted her here."

"So he could control her!"

"You know very well that I could charge you for treason for saying those things in front of me, right?" Headmistress Mo's voice was cold, freezing. "Urchaid, you might be an Alpha but let me remind you something. These grounds, the one that you are standing in, were owned by the King. And my loyalty will always be towards his majesty."

"Headmistress Mo. You are the only person who could convince the King to take his orders back. She is a Matthews! She already injured one of your students! Just as we all expected, that child was trained to kill us. What if— "

"It was a sparring Mr. McGill." Headmistress Mo interjected. "Did you expect her to wait for Dominic to hit her?"

"Still! What she did was wrong! How could she— "

"McGill… enough. Headmistress Mo has a point. We can't just kick her out after the King's decree."

"So, what are we going to do? Isaac Matthews must have a lot of enemies. Humans, Elementals, Rogues, and even among us, Lycans. The people who killed him… must be really powerful, maybe even more powerful than Isaac! If they decide to come here and kill Isaac's daughter, no one would be able to stop them! And that includes you, Headmistress."

"You are wrong." Headmistress Mo said. "This is our land. We have special methods to defend against an attack."

Anna shook her head and left. Her invisibility was about to disappear and her scent would soon fill this place if she wasn't too careful. It would be very hard to fool those old dogs.

She found another spot and waited for her invisibility to disappear before she went back to her room. It was a very informative day.

However, this only gave her more and more questions.

"Hm?"

She stopped walking when she smelled something different. She then eyed the wooden door of her room. It was just a few feet away from her. After a few seconds, she jumped out of the window in the hallway and went inside her room using the windows.

'Strange…' she looked around and was really surprised not to see anyone inside.

Earlier, she thought she smelled another wolf inside her room.

But the moment she got inside, the scent disappeared.

'Robot! Scan!'

[Scanning started…]

[Scanning completed. Presence of two people detected. They entered the room approximately twenty minutes ago. They stayed for a few seconds before leaving. Bee could trace a device used to monitor the host, and another that contains a sedative.]

'Oh?' she sat on the bed and removed her boots. 'Tell me about the sedative.'

[The sedative would work on normal Lycans. But it won't work on the host's body.]

She nodded and lay on the bed. So, someone wanted to take her away?

She then relaxed her mind and body and waited for the culprit to show up. If these people wanted to kill her inside her room, they would have used something stronger. But they only used a sedative. This means these people might be planning to take him out of the academy.

But isn't this an excellent opportunity for her to go out?

She smirked inwardly just as she heard a small thud. By now, she already closed her eyes, her breathing calm.

'She's asleep?' someone whispered. Surprisingly, it was a woman's voice.

'That was pretty strong. The dosage could even knock out an Alpha.'

'But why'd you think she snuck out on the windows instead of using the door?' the woman asked just as the man carried her in his arms.

'Who knows?'

Anna felt the two take her out of the room. Fresh air welcomed her. Being carried like this while traveling would be good. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Mo Li.

Sadly, she couldn't go back to that version of Zealandia anymore.

However, she was planning to do some research soon. She could only hope that she would find out what happened all those years ago.

After more than an hour, the two finally stopped running. Anna assumed they weren't that far from the academy. After all, the two just ran on the way here.

'Put her here…'

'Are you sure this is secure?'

'Even an Alpha won't be able to fight against those chains. Go. Tie her up.'
