Chapter40-The Mysterious big shot of Crossbridge Academy!

This time, House Goldstone has really lost face. Even the locals of Riverside City could hardly believe it.

The young lady from House Goldstone in De'an City collided with Miss Rose of Crossbridge Academy, and the outcome turned out to be like this!

Not even Rose's most fervent followers could have imagined such a result.

After all, House Goldstone is a power that dwarfs Riverside City.

Yet, right before their eyes, such a thing unfolded.

The young lady of House Goldstone was completely suppressed by Miss Rose from the very beginning, without even a chance to fight back.

Even the so-called protector did not intervene, leaving people to question: is this really the young lady of House Goldstone? How does she seem… so far behind our Riverside City's Rose?

Just looking at the followers, Rose's entourage swiftly dealt with the servants of the House Goldstone's young lady in an instant.

This disparity in strength says it all!

In the end, the young lady of House Goldstone was made to compensate with a ten thousand mana stones.

This wasn't just a simple victory; it was a blatant humiliation.

The best part was, the other party had no way to retaliate.

Did you see how the young lady's eyes turned red, nearly crying by the end?

"Rose, you were amazing!" Green said with a smile.

"It's nothing special," Rose replied, glancing toward a certain direction within the loft. She had a faint idea of why that girl named Shelly had mentioned Yuler, as her father hadn't shown up either.

By this point, the reserved segment of Rhine Tavern showcasing the three major forces flexing their muscles had already concluded.

Who could outshine Miss Rose of Crossbridge Academy tonight?

Forcing the young lady of House Goldstone to apologize and pay compensation?

Could anyone from the other two families achieve that?

Even merely apologizing on the spot would be considered having some backbone.

Rose's declaration, "This is Riverside City, not your playground," deeply resonated with everyone present from Riverside City!

...

Since the moment Shelly was born, she had never encountered such humiliation.

At that moment, she truly felt lost and just wanted to escape, fleeing from the heated gazes directed at her.

In her life, she had never experienced such piercing scrutiny.

Under the spotlight, those eyes seemed to possess an incredibly sharp lethality, as if a dagger had been plunged into her.

Only after she had distanced herself from Rhine Tavern did that feeling fade. In its place was an overwhelming sense of grievance and humiliation.

"Shelly, let's go home," an elderly voice echoed.

"Yuler, why… why didn't you come out to save me just now?" The old man named Yuler was at a loss for words.

He had accompanied Shelly to Rhine Tavern as her protector.

However, when Shelly sent her servant to find Rose, Yuler remained upstairs, closely monitoring the situation.

From start to finish, he had kept an eye on the unfolding events. House Goldstone paid great attention to the safety of their children.

This time, Yuler was Shelly's covert guardian. Of course, he didn't have to act as a bodyguard, solving problems for her at every turn, as that would negate the purpose of her learning.

His presence was meant to assist Shelly when she faced insurmountable difficulties.

When her servant was knocked down in a single blow, Yuler keenly noticed that the girl named Rose was exceptional.

Not just her, but also the few people behind her who seemed like followers.

Their breathing, mana fluctuations, and even mind power… were all in an unusually synchronized state.

This was extremely rare.

At that moment, Yuler sensed that Shelly was likely to suffer a loss.

But instead of intervening, he chose to wait for the situation to develop.

As Shelly confronted Rose, Rose's followers quickly defeated Shelly's servants.

At that point, Yuler believed the time had come.

His intention was to let Shelly experience some setbacks.

As a child of House Goldstone, Shelly had walked an easy path her whole life. Experiencing no hardships was detrimental to her growth.

Only by realizing that there are always stronger people out there can one maintain humility and strive further.

Now, he felt the moment had arrived.

If it continued any longer, and Shelly was too severely impacted, it could leave a lasting shadow.

Just as Yuler prepared to rise and teach that little girl from Riverside City a lesson, a hand landed on his shoulder.

The moment he was touched by that hand, he felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain, utterly unable to move.

"Youngsters should resolve their own matters, don't you think? As an elder, you should refrain from getting involved and just relax here," the hand withdrew from his shoulder.

A handsome man appeared beside him, yet everyone around seemed oblivious to his presence.

Daniel casually sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, saying, "The wine at Rhine Tavern is good, have some."

After these words, Yuler felt his body regain mobility. However, he still couldn't leave his seat, limited to only the action of sipping wine.

Unclear about the man's intentions, Yuler dared not act recklessly and waited until Shelly had left before feeling the spell that restrained him fade away.

When he looked toward the man again, he found he had vanished, leaving only a wine glass on the table.

Yuler took a deep breath.

He never expected that in this small Riverside City, such a powerhouse could exist.

Someone who could silently appear behind him and restrain him without him being able to take action.

When leaving, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of the person's figure.

Such a person… why would they appear in Riverside City?

Moreover, their purpose seemed to be protecting that girl named Rose, which was why they intervened to stop him.

Thinking this through, Yuler took another deep breath. Riverside City… is rather frightening! He hurriedly left, not even glancing back.

At that moment, facing Shelly's questioning, Yuler could only helplessly say, "Because in Riverside City, there are people far more powerful than I am, so I couldn't help you. Shelly, this world is not short of strong individuals. Our House Goldstone, compared to the whole continent, is merely a drop in the ocean, insignificant."

"That powerhouse is the real backing of Crossbridge Academy!"

...

The Mistriver Realm is about to open. The three major forces of Riverside City have all gathered here, along with their younger generation.

In the back, a large crowd of onlookers has gathered. Lords Lunastone, Windwhisper, and Daniel are all dressed to the nines.

Daniel himself rejected the extravagantly ornate attire, finding it cumbersome and not to his taste. However, Rowan insisted it was necessary, so he wore the outfit to the event.

Most people in Riverside City had never seen the headmaster of Crossbridge Academy. Especially in the past six months, Daniel had either been at the academy or off doing other things, rarely making public appearances in Riverside City.

The impression of Daniel in Riverside City existed only in rumors.

During the era of the old headmaster, people only remembered that he had a son who wasn't particularly good at magic. But now, no one recalls that anymore.

All anyone remembers is that Daniel, headmaster of Crossbridge Academy, was the one who led the academy out of crisis and restored its status as the leading force in Riverside City.
