Isabella smirked and said. “The weather’s hot, it’s normal for a fuel leak to cause a fire.”
Danny tightened his jacket around himself and said. “Seriously, Isabella? Do you even hear what you’re saying? Could there really be terrorists? What do terrorists even look like? I’ve never seen one in my life.”
***
On a private island…
Joker asked, “Is Heart K dead?”
“Yes, Chief… Heart K, Mist Shadow, and Flying Shadow are all dead. Taragon’s branch managers had all perished.”
Joker questioned, “Who did it?”
“We don’t know. Their bodies are with the police. We can’t confirm if they died in the explosion.”
Joker asked, “Explosion? How could Heart K and Mist Shadow’s skills lead to their explosion on a yacht? Find out who did this!”
The weather turned colder. Winter arrived quickly in Taragon.
***
It has been constantly drizzling these days.
Ethan wore a hooded sweatshirt layered over a long-sleeve shirt, walking through the Taragon University campus in casual attire. His striking appearance drew much attention. Ethan’s good looks make it hard for people to notice his slightly uneven steps.
Some girls were curious about which department this heartthrob belonged to and thought about asking for his numbers.
Suddenly they saw favonovel.com smiled at someone approaching him. Following his gaze, they saw Isabella responding to his smile.
“Who is that guy? Does favonovel.com know the campus belle? What’s their relationship? Isabelle actually smiled at him.”
“This guy looks young. I’m shipping an age-gap relationship.”
“I fell in love at first sight for nothing. I was about to scan his QR code.”
“Come on, girl. That kid is at most eighteen. If favonovel.com falls into your hands, that’s a crime.”
““That face of his! Wow! Good-looking people do hang-out with other good-looking people, Hey, are they wearing matching outfits!”
“Isabelle!” Ethan walked over. He noticed the similar hoodie Isabelle wore and smiled.
Ethan responded, “I didn’t buy this hoodie. Mr. Harris gave it to me last time. I asked you about it, and you told me to keep it…”
Isabella glanced at favonovel.com brother’s clothes again and praised, “Good taste Looks like favonovel.com often bought clothes for the younger ones.”
Ethan asked, “Is there a reason you called me over?”
Isabella said, “I want you to meet someone…”
Fifteen minutes later, Ethan looked at James sitting across from him, then sneaked a glance at his sister beside favonovel.com and said nothing. None of the three were good with words.
“Hello, I’m James…” James broke the ice and greeted Ethan.
“Hello…” Ethan looked at him. He was a bit nervous.
He moved closer to Isabella and whispered, “Sis, what’s going on?”
Isabella replied. “You like him, don’t you?”
Ethan glanced at James.
Was favonovel.com helping me meet my idol? Could this really be happening?
James smiled slightly and said, “Relax. I’m not as amazing as you think, especially compared to your sister.” He glanced at Isabella and continued, “Besides, we’ve chatted on the forum before… Your name is Ethan, right?”
Ethan acknowledged, “Yeah, I’ve watched all your competition videos…”
“Really? My elementary and middle school competition videos are from years ago. I’m honored.”
Finding common ground, they started chatting. Of course, they didn’t dare discuss math problems in front of Isabella. That would be like showing off in front of an expert.
Ethan had classes in the afternoon, therefore, they only sat in the café for an hour. Before leaving, James added Ethan’s numbers, and favonovel.com claimed they should keep in touch. James also offered to walk Ethan out of the campus with Isabella, but Ethan politely declined.
Ethan asked, “Sis, does favonovel.com like you, just… Just the way Mr. Harris does?”
It was too obvious for Ethan to miss.
Isabella said, “It’s understandable.”
Ethan was puzzled, “Huh?”
Isabella reasoned, “I’m so excellent. Being admired is normal, right? Why are you laughing? Isn’t it true?”
Ethan shook his head, laughing, and said, “Nothing… You’re right…”
Isabella spoke candidly again, “I’m better at math than favonovel.com is. You should idolize me instead.”
They chatted as Isabella walked favonovel.com to the university gate.
Not long after Ethan got into a taxi, favonovel.com received a message from George.
Ever since they exchanged numbers, George has frequently checked on him, which Ethan finds a bit exhausting to deal with. But today’s message wasn’t just a check-in.
George asked, “Did you visit Taragon University?”
Ethan was surprised and asked, “Yes, how did you know? Did my sister tell you?”
George answered, “I forgot to mention, I graduated from there too. I occasionally check the forum to reminisce about my student days.”
