Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 26: Negotiation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The timing in the White Eagle Federation was very similar to Su Lu’s previous life, with a year being divided into twelve months, each month having thirty days, and a day lasting twenty-four hours.

Three hours later.

Accompanied by the disappearance of the Weakness state on his attribute bar, Su Lu felt a sudden relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, his whole body full of energy, eager to let off a triumphant yell.

“Finally, it’s over!”

He clenched his fists.

At this moment, having a body utterly superior to ordinary people, Su Lu felt as if he had become a little superman.

‘With my strength… If I suddenly approach, I should be able to eliminate a witch… But there are two of them, or perhaps even more!’

With a touch of contemplation, Su Lu returned to the dormitory.

Sean, who was humming a little tune while tidying up the room, appeared to be in a good mood.

“What’s going on!?”

Su Lu was originally just sitting in the living room, but seeing Sean dress up in a suit out of nowhere, he asked out of curiosity.

“I’m sorry…” Sean apologized sincerely, “I can no longer keep up with the stalking of Moli.”

“Oh, why?”

“Because…” Sean’s expression suddenly became a bit awkward, “Today, while I was doing my daily routine, I suddenly ran into Catherine. Oh! Her soft voice, hot figure… I think I’m in love, buddy!”

“Well, congratulations to you then!”

Su Lu uttered wordlessly as he took a sip of plain boiled water: “But honestly…I don’t recommend you take any actual action!”

Given his encounter tonight, even if Moli was okay, the lady beside her probably wasn’t a good person. Su Lu really didn’t want his roommate to take any risks.

“How could you say that?”

Sean’s expression immediately changed, as if his face muscles were somewhat distorted: “I thought…you understood me.”

Yeah, I know how it feels to be single, but it’s difficult for me if you dive headfirst into such a huge pit.

‘No…if we consider that Moli was still determined to deliver Bicui’s letter, the person pulling the strings behind the scenes might have terrifying abilities like ‘psychological suggestion’ or ‘memory implantation’!’

Su Lu looking at Sean, felt like there was another potential danger.

At this point, he had almost classified Moli and her social circle as dangerous targets.

Otherwise, it’s impossible to explain why it’s such a coincidence. He exposed the Gulam language in front of Moli during the day, and was attacked at night.

“By the way, what did Mentor Catherine say to you?”

“A lot, a lot…” Sean looked intoxicated, “we even talked about you, I promised her, I will never do such shameful acts like stalking again, even if I was forced by you!”

“Bullshit!”

Su Lu was dumbfounded.

Looking at Sean who seemed to have confessed everything, it’s no wonder he was attacked at night.

“How dare you insult my goddess?” Sean was visibly enraged: “Even though you have cleaned the sewage for me, if you say such things again, we’re done!”

Oh, you remember all the hard work I’ve done for you, huh?

Regarding this roommate who values a girlfriend more than years of friendship, Su Lu just rolled his eyes in disdain, yet he also felt a bit puzzled.

To be fair, even though Sean can be intolerable sometimes, he wouldn’t abandon a friend for a lover to this extent.

‘So… has he been influenced by something?’

He guessed quietly, showed an angry face, and returned to his bedroom without saying a word, slamming the door shut.

‘Luckily, I’ve known for a while there’s someone behind the scenes watching me. The Golden Dragon, important letters, iron slabs, and that page of the magic book, have all been hidden outside.’

Su Lu laid on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning, in the dining room.

Su Lu, who had been resting all night, was full of energy. He was tearing up a wheat bread roll, soaking it in hot milk, and eating it bit by bit.

After what happened last night, he felt he couldn’t continue to play defensive.

He must find a chance to get rid of those two people pulling the strings behind the scenes!

After last night’s incident, they too have exposed quite a bit.

‘Maybe…I really should call the police. Although Donald proposed to cooperate last night, he’s not reliable! The most important thing is…I can hide in the dark, ready to silence them!’

As for today’s Fight Club duel, he had long put it behind him. Donald would take care of everything on his own!

“Hey, Su Lu!”

Just as Su Lu, his appetite still unsatisfied, ordered a second buttered bread, Sean came over hesitantly with a hesitant look on his face: “Yesterday, Catherine told me she wants to see you!”

“She? Wants to see me?”

Su Lu’s heart sank: “Time? Place?”

“Nine in the morning, in the school’s central garden area!” Sean added: “How about taking me with you?”

“…”

Su Lu remained silent, thinking quickly.

After last night, he had almost guessed the identity of the attacker. It definitely had something to do with Catherine.

Today, she is openly inviting him to meet, which indeed surprised him.

‘If Catherine had arranged the meeting in some secluded place with few people, I definitely wouldn’t go, and I’d call the police right away… After all, meeting a witch who’s fully prepared in such a place is seeking death, but in the central garden of the school?’

It’s a public place with people coming and going, and both parties who have concerns wouldn’t be able to make a move.

Indeed, it’s a good place for negotiation.

Su Lu checked the time, stood up, and dusted off his clothes: “Thank you, but I think I better go alone.”

After sending away disappointed Sean, Su Lu went to the university center.

In the center of the snowy white marble square, flower beds made of various pebbles laid around, containing brightly colored flowers emitting an astonishingly sweet aroma.

From time to time, a few students would linger in the midst of the blooms.

Su Lu took a deep breath and walked to the middle of the garden.

After about ten minutes, he saw a lady carrying a case of teaching materials approaching.

She looked to be just under thirty, tall and curvy with wavy golden curls, her dewy eyes as if they could speak, matched with her flame-like red lips, every aspect exuded the deadly charm of a mature woman, just the type that young men like Sean couldn’t resist.

“Hello, Mentor Catherine, what can I do for you?”

Su Lu glanced around.

The open terrain, although people pass by from time to time, as long as he kept his voice low, he didn’t have to worry about being overheard.

“For negotiation!”

Catherine’s voice became coldly

“I know…you’ve recognized me, and I have no intention of hiding anything. Although I don’t know how you became a Transcendent, believe me, you’re still far behind us compared to us!”

‘She thinks I’m a Transcendent?!’

Su Lu’s heart moved, knowing that his data which was much higher than ordinary people had successfully misled the other party.

‘A Transcendent, probably has a backup, so…they’re somewhat wary?’

Su Lu knew his standing, he smiled: “From the beginning to the end, it was you who was attacking me, right? Starting from the White Tower café incident!”
