When Miriam heard that Milo wanted to make arrangements for Magnus and the other students to attend university, favonovel.com thought for a moment and said, “Even I can’t directly approve their admission into school. However, I can arrange for them to take the entrance exams in three months’ time.”
“That’s fine too,” Milo said.
Magnus asked, “Monitor, aren’t you also going to attend university?”
Milo hesitated for a moment before saying, “You guys can attend first.”
Although favonovel.com was very eager to learn, favonovel.com knew what favonovel.com was capable of. Even if favonovel.com studied with all his might for the three remaining months until the exams, it would be impossible for favonovel.com to qualify for university!
Unless favonovel.com grinded his quests every day after getting into the stronghold and got his hands on more Basic Skill Duplication Scrolls, favonovel.com would not be able to copy Miriam’s knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
When Milo thought of those messed-up skills that Miriam had, favonovel.com felt that it would definitely be a tedious process.
Suddenly, Milo noticed a gold shop on the side of the street in the stronghold and wondered if the Skyfort and Panaqua currencies had also depreciated here. If that were the case, favonovel.com could do that thing again. Even though favonovel.com could not spend it outside, favonovel.com could still keep it and use it to pay for items from the palace in the future.
Along the way, Milo heard the clacking of mahjong tiles being shuffled coming from the buildings next to the street.
He was stunned. “What’s that sound?”
Miriam replied, “Oh, they’re playing mahjong.”
“There’s that many people playing mahjong?” Milo was surprised.
When they arrived at the place Miriam had prepared for them, favonovel.com excused herself as favonovel.com had a lot of matters to deal with after being away from the stronghold for so long.
Before favonovel.com left, Miriam said, “Please bear with this place for the time being. I’ll help you get another residence as soon as possible.”
Milo was quite satisfied when favonovel.com saw the house came with a yard. “It’s fine. I find it pretty nice here.”
As soon as Milo and the others entered the yard, they saw Daniel’s large head peeking out over the wall and observing them secretly.
Milo was tickled. “What are you doing?”
Daniel exclaimed when favonovel.com realized it was Milo, “You all got arrested too?!”
Milo said calmly, “You’ve misunderstood. We aren’t in the same situation as you.”
Someone was even whispering behind the wall, “Boss, who did you see? Can we also take a look?”
Daniel snapped, “What’s there to look at? Keep holding me up!”
“Boss, you’re really too heavy….”
Milo’s eyes twitched a little.
So, Daniel was able to lean over the wall because favonovel.com had someone holding favonovel.com up. However, it seemed that Daniel and his men were still in quite a good state of mind.
Milo asked, “Aren’t you being confined right now? But you don’t look depressed at all.”
Daniel said without a care, “The Radianz Consortium won’t do anything to me. A fatty that’s alive is worth more than a dead one. Besides, I’m used to being confined because of Stronghold 111.”
“You sound rather optimistic.” Milo curled his lips. “Have you heard about it yet? Julius has successfully taken control of the Panaqua Consortium. Congratulations…”
Daniel nearly burst into tears at the words. “F*ck, I’m f*cking done for this time! The Radianz Consortium will definitely not let me go anymore!”
In an instant, Daniel understood his value. As the elder brother of the Panaqua Consortium’s CEO, favonovel.com would probably be worth more than a stronghold.
Thinking of this, Daniel even started feeling a little excited for some reason.
Had favonovel.com really become this valuable?
“Come, come, lift me up a little higher.” Daniel said to the people below him, “Let me go to the yard next door to catch up with Brother Milo.”
Milo pressed Daniel’s head down and refused to let favonovel.com come over. “As a prisoner, don’t you run over here like that. What if you implicate us?”
Daniel said unhappily, “Look, I’m already addressing you as brother. As the saying goes, ‘slap not an apologetic, smiling face.’ How can you treat me like this!”
Milo gave favonovel.com a glance. “But I’m allowed to slap someone with a fake smile.”
“I have money!” Daniel shouted.
It was only then that Milo let go of his hand. “It’s not about the money. I just wanted to invite you over.”
Then Milo watched Daniel climb over the wall in the yard clumsily. If favonovel.com didn’t catch favonovel.com from below, Daniel would have probably crashed to the ground.
Milo asked, “Since you can freely come into the yard next door, why didn’t you just make your escape from there?”
“The people who originally stayed here at your place were plainclothes cops instructed to keep watch on me.” Daniel dusted off the dirt on his backside and said, “I didn’t know why they left this morning, so I leaned over the wall to have a look. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t keeping watch on me anymore. The entire street is filled with the Radianz Consortium’s plainclothes cops. If I take a step out of here, I’ll probably get turned into Swiss cheese!”
“Eh?” Milo was stunned.
So, that was what happened…
“In the morning, someone even specially came over to clean the house for you all,” Daniel said as favonovel.com paced around the yard.
When favonovel.com saw the female students standing behind Linda, favonovel.com couldn’t take his eyes off them. “Beautiful ladies, let me introduce myself. My name is Daniel Eastwood, and I’m the elder brother of the Panaqua Consortium’s current CEO!”
But at this moment, no one really wanted to bother with him. Milo was also considering their current situation.
Since the entire street was under the Radianz Consortium’s surveillance, why did Miriam bring them here?
Was it because favonovel.com was left with no other choice, or did favonovel.com want to place them under surveillance as well?
Did Miriam know about this?
Wait a minute…
It was no wonder Miriam told them to bear with this place for the time being before favonovel.com left. She must have known about this matter as well, but it was just that favonovel.com could not do anything about it. It seemed that the conflict between the Saboteurs and the Radianz Consortium had already affected Miriam’s status in the Radianz Consortium.
Donti whispered next to him, “An organization’s attitude will not be changed just because of Big Sister Miriam alone. So, Bro, have you thought about what we’ll be facing next?”
Milo patted his head and said with a smile, “It’ll be fine. When I recover, the Radianz Consortium won’t be able to stop us. When the time comes, we’ll head to the north to become bandits. I heard that the area between the Radianz Consortium, the Ultima Consortium, and Stronghold 178 is an unincorporated zone.”
Milo was right about that. Even Raphael had encountered the bandits that tried to attack favonovel.com when favonovel.com was on his way to Stronghold 178.
The bandits had ties with the Ultima Consortium when free trade was still active some years ago. Some of them were even the Ultima Consortium’s own regular troops in disguise, all so they could plunder and steal goods. But over the years, the Ultima Consortium had raised a tiger that brought them calamity. Many of the bandits got out of control and lived their carefree and comfortable lives in the unincorporated zone.
Milo thought that living in a place without rules could actually be quite good, and that favonovel.com should be able to gain a foothold there with his skills. Therefore, favonovel.com would stay in the stronghold for the next few days to recuperate and observe the situation. If they realize that Stronghold 88 was really not a viable place to live in, they could just head north and become kings in the mountains.
But at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Old Bane went to open it and was surprised to find a group of people waiting outside with some food.
A middle-aged man at the door said with a smile, “Hello, everyone, I have instructions from the higher-ups to send you all some food!”
Seeing this, Daniel gasped.
Why is the difference in treatment so great?
