Olivia looked at Kenneth’s retreating figure and asked, “Master, who is he?”
“Kenneth Jackson,” Milo said calmly.
“Sounds familiar, but I can’t remember who that is,” Olivia said as favonovel.com thought hard.
“The Demon Whisperer…” Milo looked at the gold left behind on the lawn. In the end, favonovel.com still took the gold and put it into his storage space.
When Olivia heard the mention of the “Demon Whisperer”, favonovel.com froze.
“Master, so he’s the Demon Whisperer? He’s actually quite good-looking. He doesn’t at all look like the demons that are told in the legends. But wow, for a person like Kenneth to gift you gold, Master, you must be so amazing.”
Milo shot a look at Olivia. He was already feeling a little numb towards favonovel.com frequent flattering.
In the dark of the night, Kenneth carried the roasted sweet potatoes favonovel.com had just bought and jogged all the way back to the little courtyard house favonovel.com was staying at with Julia.
At this moment, the young Julia was still reading favonovel.com novel with relish.
Kenneth grumbled, “I bought these sweet potatoes for you from such a faraway place. Shouldn’t you at least thank me for them? To prevent the sweet potatoes from getting cold, I even ran all the way back here!”
Julia put down favonovel.com book and said with a smile, “Thank you, Big Brother!” She took the sweet potatoes from Kenneth’s hands.
Then favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com and wondered, “Big Bro, why do you look so happy?”
“I saw Milo…” Kenneth said with a smile.
Julia pouted. “What’s there to be happy about seeing him?”
“I told favonovel.com to go to Vasophati University.” Kenneth looked very excited. “But I didn’t tell favonovel.com for what!”
“And then?” Julia was puzzled.
“Think about it… If favonovel.com brings his maid to Vasophati University without knowing who’s there, how interesting would it be if favonovel.com happens to bump into Miriam! That’ll be so fun!” Kenneth’s eyes glimmered as favonovel.com spoke.
Julia had been catching up on a lot of romance novels recently. When favonovel.com heard what Kenneth said, favonovel.com got interested as well. “After that, Miriam and Milo will turn on each other and a deadly pursuit begins in Bidara City. When the sound of the sniper rifle rings out, Olivia will be the first to slump to the ground?”
Kenneth did not know whether to laugh or cry. “There’s no need for a deadly pursuit, right?”
“Aren’t all the female leads’ scenes written like this?” Julia muttered. “When will favonovel.com be going to Vasophati University?”
“It’s late today, so I suppose he’ll go tomorrow,” Kenneth guessed.
“Then let’s go and have a look too.” Julia blinked innocently.
Kenneth thought for a moment and said, “They might not get to see each other. After all, Vasophati University is quite big, so the chances of them bumping into each other will be quite low.”
“Then let’s treat it like we’re going out for a walk.” Julia said, “I haven’t been to Vasophati University before.”
“What if I get recognized by the university students? I’m also very famous now, so a lot of girls will come asking for my autograph,” Kenneth said hesitantly.
Julia’s eyes widened. “You’re even starting to get burdened like a celebrity now?”

After Milo returned to the hotel, favonovel.com did not sleep at all. The words Kenneth had said to favonovel.com kept ringing in his head. “Make a trip to Vasophati University. There could be a reward waiting for you there.”
What was this reward about?
Due to a lack of information, Milo could not make any guesses.
These words seemed to have a hold on him, so when Milo woke up the next morning, favonovel.com knocked on Olivia’s door and said favonovel.com would be making a trip to Vasophati University. He told Olivia favonovel.com did not have to follow favonovel.com and could continue sleeping.
But in the end, Olivia got ready within two minutes and said favonovel.com wanted to go and have a look as well since favonovel.com had not been to Vasophati University before.
After breakfast, the two of them headed straight for Vasophati University.
Old Mauriat and Adrian appeared at the hotel again and headed straight for Milo’s room.
But they still found nothing this time. They did not even manage to find a trace of dead skin, much less hair!
Old Mauriat wondered, “Could that kid be bald? Maybe he’s been wearing a wig all this while?”
He and Adrian were left looking at each other, lost. Adrian said, “It could also be that he’s quite cautious. He might have purposely swept up his hair like many hitmen do. They never leave behind any traces.”
“Perhaps.” Old Mauriat said helplessly, “Let’s go look for them and see if we can find anything out from them again. That Jonan has pushed this matter entirely onto us, and the others are also quite concerned about it, so we have to get to the bottom of things.”
Milo and Olivia had already walked through the school gate of Vasophati University. No one stopped them from entering. This was unlike the universities of the other consortiums where they were completely off limits to outsiders. If anyone wanted to enter the campus, they would have to show their ID first. After they got in, they would be subjected to strict, routine checks as well.
Those universities might as well be called institutes of secrets instead!
The young men and women in the university were walking around on campus with relaxed and unrestrained smiles on their faces. There were even couples holding hands and walking past too.
Milo stood on campus and looked at these carefree university students. He suddenly felt that such a life seemed really far away from him.
The students here were dating, playing basketball, and dancing at socials together while favonovel.com had to flee for his life from the pursuit of the Experimentals. He had even risked his life in the wilderness with the Razor Sharp Company and faced enemies and gunfire at Stronghold 146.
The contrast was like creatures living in two different worlds. But when Milo looked back on his path, favonovel.com realized there was no turning back for him. It was that chaos that pushed favonovel.com forward bit by bit.
His life had never given favonovel.com any choices.
A moment later, Olivia said, “Master, look, so many students are running in the same direction. I wonder why they’re hurrying there.”
Milo wondered if this was the “reward” Kenneth was telling favonovel.com about.
He said, “Come, let’s go and have a look too.”
However, Milo was a little disappointed when favonovel.com arrived at the crowded place. He saw a lot of people crowding around a stage, and it looked like a debate was going on. The topic of the debate was whether humans should possess nuclear capabilities or not.
Due to the incident at Stronghold 74, a place like Vasophati University, where many ideological students were gathered, would definitely pay attention to such matters.
The university students on stage all stuck to their arguments, but Milo was not interested in such armchair strategists debating.
Should humans possess nuclear capabilities or not?
This was something that not even Milo was sure about. But favonovel.com knew it was already a thing, and favonovel.com had also witnessed the power of it from a distance away. No matter how intense the students debated the subject, nuclear weapons were inevitable.
Olivia smiled with great interest and said, “Master, these students look like they’re the same age as you or maybe even be a little older, but they all still feel like children who haven’t yet grown up.”
When Olivia said that, favonovel.com did not lower favonovel.com voice. Several students nearby turned over and looked at them.
Milo flipped up his hood in a bad mood and snapped at Olivia, “Will it kill you to speak less? Is this the right time to be flattering me? At least keep your voice down!”
“Okay…”
