After leaving the room, Geoffrey still wore a look of worry.
Percival watched him and couldn't help but chuckle, patting his shoulder to indicate that it wasn't a big deal.
"Didn't you even try to persuade the principal? Now that things have gotten this serious, what are we going to do if it really gets out?"
Geoffrey was incredibly anxious, because no matter how you looked at it, this situation was indeed a severe blow to them.
If they truly lost the secret realm, it meant that they would naturally have fewer resources than others!
Percival glanced at Geoffrey, then let out a light laugh with a cool tone, but with a hint of sarcasm.
"But don't forget, that secret realm was always the principal's. Her sharing it was a favor; keeping it is her right. Even before we had the secret realm, we were still number one."
Geoffrey was taken aback, not expecting Percival to speak like that, and his face flushed red, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
