Chapter 143: Each Harboring Their Own Intentions (Added for Alliance Leader Who Delivers Express) (Third Update)

At this moment, inside a dim conference room.

Faraon, the City Lord of Sky Dome City, sat expressionlessly on a mechanical chair.

Beside him sat a bald, composed elder with a white beard, dressed in a cyan robe.

This elder was Principal Weiser of Azure Sky Academy in Sky Dome City.

At this point, the projection devices on the two mechanical chairs opposite the conference table activated, and Alicia, the City Lord of Rainy City, along with a kind-faced, white-haired old woman in a simple blue robe, appeared.

“Alicia, you’re here.”

Faraon greeted her warmly.

“Sorry, something came up and delayed me a bit. Let’s start discussing the main business.”

Alicia replied with a smile.

“No matter. Actually, what we need to discuss today is very simple: it’s about the Three School League. Royal Court Academy has been suppressing us for too long.”

Faraon stated directly.

“Exactly, but Royal Court Academy is not to be trifled with. Although its reputation has been poor in recent years, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. If we compete against them alone, our chances of winning are certainly not high.”

Alicia said with a smile.

“Then we still need to find a way to pull them down. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Faraon said, a glint flashing in his eyes.

“Indeed, as long as we defeat Royal Court Academy, we can cause its prestige to plummet. At that time, Royal Court Academy’s influence will further degrade, and Starlight City’s influence will naturally also wane! And most importantly, the Council President has been in hibernation for a hundred years and hasn’t come out yet. He might not be able to come out. At that time, only the three of us will be left in the Council!”

Alicia said with a smile.

If the Council President had still been in office, they certainly wouldn’t have done this, but now the Council President hasn’t appeared for a full hundred years and is still in hibernation!

It’s possible he’s already dead, and Gakels, the City Lord of Starlight City, has just been hiding the news.

The reason Gakels can now suppress the two of them as an equal is simply by using the Council President as a shield, and the influence brought by Royal Court Academy.

As long as Royal Court Academy is dismantled, she also has a chance to sit in that position.

“That makes sense. Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s discuss the main topic: how can we defeat Royal Court Academy now?”

Faraon said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Principal Mana of Rainy City·Amonsk Advanced Academy, who was sitting beside Alicia, replied.

“Replying to Lord Faraon, to defeat Royal Court Academy, we must fight them two against one.”

“Exactly, if it’s two against one, we will definitely win!”

Principal Weiser of Azure Sky Academy in Sky Dome City also chimed in.

“Faraon, how about we cooperate? You help me win, and you can name your price!”

Alicia looked at Faraon with a smile.

“You’re being too polite. Royal Court Academy has always been a thorn in my side! As long as I can defeat it, nothing else matters!”

Faraon replied magnanimously.

“Good, at that time, we will take turns sitting in that position!”

Alicia said with a laugh.

“No problem.”

Faraon readily agreed.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Alicia disconnected the virtual projection communication.

Soon, in the dim conference room, only Faraon and Principal Weiser remained.

At this moment, the smile on Faraon’s face gradually faded. He turned to Principal Weiser and said coldly.

“We must win this league.”

“I understand.”

“And the ultimate victor can only be us. You should know what to do, right?”

“Understood. I will make the people from Amonsk Advanced Academy fight Royal Court Academy to the death.”

Principal Weiser’s words were cut short halfway through as Faraon raised his hand, interrupting him, and said coldly.

“Don’t tell me those things. I only want results.”

“Understood.”

Principal Weiser replied respectfully.

On the other side, in a private conference room within the Administrative Building of Rainy City.

Alicia sat sideways on a mechanical chair, propping her chin with one hand, deep in thought.

At this moment, Principal Mana respectfully spoke from the side.

“Lord Alicia, do you think Aslofa and the others will truly cooperate with us to defeat Royal Court Academy?”

“I’m not a three-year-old child. How could I believe his nonsense? Who wouldn’t be interested in that chair, and so easily give away the stepping stone on the path to it to others? We are merely feigning compliance. How could we truly trust them? You should know what to do, right?”

Alicia’s beautiful eyes did not hide her burning ambition in the slightest.

“Understood.”

Principal Mana hurriedly replied.

“Also, has that matter been handled?”

Alicia turned to Principal Mana and asked.

Principal Mana’s expression became serious, and she quickly said to Alicia.

“Don’t worry, Colonel Dilken, who just got promoted to fifth year, is already on his way back. I’ve already erased him from the fifth-year archives. Now he’s a fourth-year student. As long as we insist he’s a fourth-year, Royal Court Academy won’t find anything.”

“Very good.”

Alicia was very satisfied with Principal Mana’s answer.

“And I also heard something.”

Principal Mana lowered her voice and said.

“Speak.”

“It seems Azure Sky Academy is playing the same trick as us. They’ve also called back Colonel Aslofa. As far as I know, Colonel Aslofa passed the fifth-year exam three years ago.”

“No matter. It’s fine as long as we all understand each other implicitly.”

“Then, Lord Alicia, will Royal Court Academy also do this?”

“Don’t worry, those old fellows at Royal Court Academy value their reputation more than their lives. How could they do such a thing? Moreover, every single fifth-year student at Royal Court Academy is a general-level figure and extremely famous! It would be almost impossible to deceive everyone.”

Alicia suddenly smiled brightly.

“Understood.”

Principal Mana replied respectfully.

Starlight City·Administrative Building.

In a dim secret room, accompanied by a slight tremor, the heavy metal door slowly opened.

Gakels, the City Lord of Starlight City, walked into the secret room expressionlessly, and the door automatically closed behind him.

He walked further into the secret room and saw a figure with their back turned to him.

The figure heard the movement and slowly turned around.

It was a young girl wearing a deep blue starry gown, with light purple hair tied up, adorned with an exquisite golden phoenix hairpin, and a silver metal mask on her face.

“You’re here.”

The girl greeted Gakels.

Gakels sighed and said to the girl.

“Yes, I was delayed a bit. The current situation is not very optimistic! After the strong dragon fell, those two fierce tigers started to stir. This Three School League, though said to calm public opinion, is actually a war without smoke. What they want to do, how could I not know? It’s nothing more than wanting to use the league to severely damage Royal Court Academy’s prestige, weaken Starlight City’s influence, and then ascend to that chair.”
