Extremely Infuriating

Lyca's face turned solemn when she got off the phone. A marriage alliance? The concept of marriage made Lyca extremely anxious. She could not let this happen! How could she let other people dictate her marriage? Surely, her grandfather would never agree, right?

This Long Family … she needed to take care of this family as soon as possible! With this in mind, Lyca called Shen Qui on her phone and told him to come to her room. After a few seconds, Shen Qui arrived.

"Tell me the situation of the Huang Family." Her order surprised Shen Qui. He hesitated for a few seconds before he asked.

"What do you want to know? I am not a high ranking officer so I have no knowledge with the specifics. If you want to know, you should probably ask your father."

"Tell me everything that you know."

"As far as I remember, the Long Family have been trying to provoke your Huang Family. They actually created their own security company and chose to poach a lot of talents from the Huang Family."

"Poach?"

"Yes. They have very good benefits. Including salary, retirement, healthy benefits and other stuff. Moreover, their technology is highly advanced too. Most younger talents actually resigned from the Huang Family and moved to the Long Family. The only ones inside the Huang Family are retired soldiers who are just languidly staying because of loyalty to Old Man Huang. These were veterans who served the government. Aside from this, there are a few people who stayed. Li Xian and I are two of those people. Currently, out of twenty people who graduated from my class, only six of us remain in the Huang Group."

Lyca frowned. She never thought that the Huang Family had fallen to such a degree. Her mind instantly turned alert. It seems that she needed to leave this place as soon as possible and help out her mother and father. However… the challenge with Huang Xiaoxuan would prevent her from taking over the position of her grandfather.

"And our clients?" Lyca asked.

"I have no specifics on this. However, I am sure that we are losing clients. Also… our private army is not doing very well either. Some merchants blatantly stopped selling supplies like gunpowder to us. Meaning, we can't just create bullets anymore. I am sure Old Man Huang is having a headache in dealing with such things."

"How can I leave this place?" Lyca asked him.

"Leave temporarily or permanently?"

"Temporarily."

"For that. You have to file for a leave. And you needed points to do that. Twenty points for five days of leave. Right now, you have twenty points. But this week, your schedule is packed. It would not be easy for you to leave."

"Other way?"

"An emergency." Shen Qui said. "If there is an emergency. You can leave for at least three days."

"Emergency?"

"Yes but… they still need to approve your leave."

Lyca gritted her teeth. Leaving this school is extremely troublesome?

"Actually there is another way."

"And that is?"

"If something big happened inside the school. Like fire or something like that. They can suspend the whole school to make the students safe." Shen Qui stared at her for a few seconds. "But… you are not going to burn the school right?" That was an extremely dangerous thought!

"Tell me… what is the purpose of this school?"

"To nurture talented heirs and expose them to the cruelty of the real business world." He immediately said. "This was stated in their goals and objectives handbook. Something that he memorized, along with the rules.

Lyca turned silent. Right now, Lyca was extremely worried that those people would force her grandfather to agree to a marriage alliance! She would never allow that to happen. She immediately examined her options. One, she could leave the Huang Family and bring her parents to live somewhere else. Of course, that was going to break her father's heart. So this option was not very good at all. Second, she could fight back and kill master Long here. She would be able to do it in secret. However, this action might make the Long Family think that it was the Huang Family who attacked them. They could use this to punish the Huang Family, including her parents! Nope. That is not a very good option.

Third, she could pretend to have an emergency but what kind of emergency? Moreover, Long Yi who was from the student council might not approve that she leave the school premises now. Fourth, she could hunt down students. Killing them one by one. Though that was highly dangerous, she was confident that she would be able to do it. Once the school thinks there is a serial killer on the loose, they will of course protect the students and let them go back home until they solve the cases.

But that method was extremely risky as the university might not let them go out of the university until they solved the strain of murdering. So that option is not very good either.

Well her last option was to use her points to go out. However, her points were only twenty after winning against Xie Jun. Tomorrow, it would increase to twenty- two. By the end of the week, she would be able to have about twenty six points. That should be enough to pay for the leave. But then again, those are points that she wanted to earn for her servant!

Does this mean, she would be doomed not to have any servants on her own? Lyca's problem was really big this time! She felt her head ache. Maybe she should just kill Huang Xiaoxuan and use her funeral as an opportunity to leave?

But the time would not be enough! This was extremely infuriating!

"Well… if you want to earn points faster… then you should challenge another student council member." Shen Qui immediately suggested. He too understood that the only way for her to leave was to use her points. "Each of them will make you earn five points you know."

Lyca looked at him for a few minutes, her face was extremely serious. It immediately made Shen Qui uncomfortable. He shivered involuntarily before asking, "You— What are you thinking?"
