-655- Look for isolated prey

Felix has always been enthusiastic about Charl and willing to help her, something Charl is well aware of.

However, Charl has to maintain a cold attitude towards Felix.

This is because Felix, the popular head of the disciplinary committee and the eldest son of the Kingsfort family, is exceptionally handsome and holds a special place at the academy.

If Charl were to appear close to Felix,

(It would only create unnecessary enemies.)

This is the reason why Charl remains distant from Felix.

This forces Charl to endure emotional torment while not openly appreciating Felix's kindness.

On the other hand, Felix

"Do you still not understand my feelings, Charl?"

Facing Charl's consistent rejection, Felix's face showed a hint of sadness and disappointment.

Since a long time ago, Felix has always been like this; whenever he approaches Charl, he is met with her cold rejection, causing him distress.

What does this all mean? I believe nobody wouldn't understand.

Charl could only avert her gaze, trying not to pay attention to Felix's expression.

Seeing Charl like this, Felix sighed softly.

"I understand now. Since you protest so much, I won't force you," Felix said with a forced smile. "How's your foot? It seems to be better now, right?"

"Yeah," Charl replied softly. "Rozen has already healed my injury."

"Rozen?" Felix was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent for a while before continuing with a smile, "You mean Rorelai Arneet? So you're already using a nickname?"

"No," Charl reflexively wanted to answer but hesitated for a moment. She said, somewhat stubbornly, "Is it not allowed?"

"Of course not," Felix smiled wryly and shook his head. "It seems Mr. Arneet, aside from being a skilled puppet craftsman, is far more charming than me in many aspects."

One could hear the melancholy and disappointment in Felix's voice, leaving Charl deeply shaken.

In this situation,

"Where's Mr. Arneet?" Felix smiled and asked, "Yesterday, I didn't get a chance to greet him properly, and I feel bad about it."

Felix's inquiry prompted Charl, who was slightly shaken, to almost instinctively reply.

"He's waiting in the forest for 'Cannibal Candy' to appear."

As soon as the words left Charl's mouth, she realized her slip and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Unfortunately, Felix had already heard.

"Waiting for 'Cannibal Candy' to appear?"

Felix's expression changed slightly, then turned serious.

Seeing this, Charl had only one thought.

(This is bad.)

As expected,

"Could it be that you're attempting to confront 'Cannibal Candy'?" Felix asked very seriously, "This is the work of the disciplinary committee and the guards. Regular students aren't allowed to take such risks. Do you understand what you're doing?"

Felix pursued in this manner, leaving Charl speechless.

Seeing Charl like this, Felix seemed to soften a bit and eased his expression.

"Anyway, no matter what, you can't continue to act on your own. It's too dangerous," Felix said, "Mr. Arneet is in the forest, right? I'll go find him now."

Having said that, Felix attempted to enter the forest.

This made Charl speak up to stop him.

"You don't need to worry about that guy!" Charl raised her voice at Felix, "He's someone who can fight evenly with Magnus, and although Magnus used one puppet in the end, his strength is no joke. Last night, 'Cannibal Candy' couldn't do anything to him, right? Moreover, that guy seems quite clever, he'll definitely find 'Cannibal Candy'. Don't bother with him!"

Charl stopped Felix like this.

"Is that so?"

Felix stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked directly at Charl.

"Are you secretly planning something?" Felix stared at her, as if trying to read her thoughts, and spoke.

"I hope you can tell me the whole story, Charl. It's for your own good," Felix said very earnestly.

Hearing this, Charl couldn't help but hesitate.

(Perhaps, telling Felix wouldn't be a bad idea.)

This was Charl's thought.

If it's Felix, the head of the disciplinary committee, they could mobilize the entire committee to guard Frey, right?

In this way, Frey would become much safer, and knowing that 'Cannibal Candy' would attack Frey, the disciplinary committee could set up an ambush and apprehend the assailant.

By then, 'Cannibal Candy', who had been troubling the disciplinary committee and the guards, would be caught. With the absolute legal backing, Felix could hold the advantage, no matter how influential the other side was.

(And that guy told me to stay out of it and stayed himself. He's just a transfer student from the Far East. If he really provokes some big shots, can he escape unscathed?)

If that's the case, it's more advantageous to tell Felix the whole story and let him handle the situation. That's what Charl thought.

Thinking of this, Charl was determined to tell Felix the whole story. But just as she was about to, her finger suddenly experienced a sharp pain.

"Ouch!"

Charl screamed.

"What's wrong, Charl?"

Felix was slightly startled, then quickly asked.

"It's nothing!" Charl evaded Felix's reaching hand, somewhat flustered, and said, "Anyway, don't disturb that guy. He'll definitely catch the culprit for you!"

Leaving these words behind, Charl turned and ran.

Felix looked at Charl's departing figure in a daze, and sighed again after a long while.

"What a headache."

Felix muttered to himself like this.

"Truly a headache,"

Repeating these words, Felix's eyes showed an unusual emotion.

That emotion was called coldness.

That emotion was called murderous intent.

On the other side, Charl, who was leaving quickly, was clutching her finger, furious, and interrogating the real culprit.

"Why did you bite me, Sigmund!"

Charl glared at Sigmund, who was flying beside her.

Just now, it was Sigmund who viciously bit Charl, preventing her from revealing the entire situation to Felix.

In response, Sigmund simply raised his head, looking at Charl, and with an unprecedentedly solemn and grave tone, he spoke to Charl.

"Did you forget what Rorelai just said? That 'Cannibal Candy' could possibly be a member of the disciplinary committee, the guards, professors, or even the Night Party's executives?"

Hearing Sigmund's words, Charl responded without hesitation.

"I know!" Charl responded indignantly, "That's why I wanted to tell Felix, to let Felix handle this. If it's Felix, even if the other party has an extraordinary background, it wouldn't matter."

One sentence hadn't been finished yet, and Sigmund directly interrupted.

"You didn't understand what I wanted to say."

Sigmund said with a stern expression.

"Are you missing the fact that Felix is also a member of the disciplinary committee?"

When this sentence entered Charl's ears, Charl was initially unable to react, then her expression froze completely.

Completely and utterly frozen.

What did Sigmund want to say, how could Charl not hear it?

Sigmund wanted to say this.

"Why did Felix appear here? You haven't asked him this question."

Sigmund's somber words, heard by Charl, were like the sharpest blade, piercing through her heart.

But isn't that the case?

Why did Felix appear in such a forest?

Was it just a coincidence?

Or...

"Coming to scout and look for isolated prey?"

Sigmund said this word by word.

In other words...

In other words...

"Felix could also be 'Cannibal Candy'!"

Sigmund stated this possibility.

At this point, it was as if Charl's heart stopped beating.
