Chapter 85: Your Family Will Harm You! |
On the old principal’s side—
He felt a headache coming on.
Vivian was indeed outstanding, but the problem was that there was clearly something wrong with her brain.
The old principal had already thought this before, and now this girl’s actions truly did not disappoint him.
It was confirmed!
Although the old principal also knew Vivian was doing this to help her friend.
“But is this really how you help someone? Or am I simply too old to keep up with the times now?”
In the old principal’s eyes, Vivian’s methods were honestly rather abstract.
The old principal took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
“What are you still standing around for?”
“Leave immediately right now and wait for me in my office!”
Hearing the old principal’s order, Vivian did not react much, but the restless Lilith beside her immediately nodded repeatedly.
Then she grabbed Vivian and hurriedly ran outside.
Meanwhile, the old principal and the instructors immediately began calming down the emotionally agitated students below.
.......
Not long afterward...
Inside the old principal’s office.
“What exactly were you thinking?”
“Do you know how much effort we had to spend calming those students down just now?”
As he spoke, the old principal emotionally slapped the table. “Are you trying to get yourself mobbed? Do you know several students almost directly challenged you?!”
Hearing that some people were so angry they almost challenged her directly, Vivian panicked.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up. “Uh, could you elaborate on the challenge part? Are there rewards?”
Vivian: ???
Old Principal: ???
“Calm down, calm down. She’s still just a child.” The old principal forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
Then he glanced at Lilith beside them, who had been silently lowering her head the entire time.
Now that was what a normal student should look like.
Then he looked back at Vivian, who was staring at him expectantly.
The old principal felt his headache worsening again.
“Let’s put this matter aside for now.”
“Let’s talk about something else.”
“Vivian, your current situation is very dangerous!”
Hearing the old principal’s words, Jiang Chen barely paid attention.
He had heard this kind of standard NPC dialogue at least hundreds of times before.
Jiang Chen did not interrupt and simply waited quietly for the next part, because based on his gaming experience, this usually meant a new quest was coming.
However, when the old principal saw Vivian showing absolutely no reaction, he also found it strange.
“Um... shouldn’t you say something?”
“Say what?” Vivian looked confused.
“After I said that, aren’t you curious?”
“Not curious.”
Vivian’s answer left the old principal speechless.
Why aren’t you following the script?!
The old principal felt that if he continued speaking with this girl any longer, he might actually die from anger.
So he stopped beating around the bush.
“Do you know the Violet Family?”
Vivian shook her head.
Old Principal: !!!
“You don’t know?”
“Am I supposed to?”
Looking at the old principal’s current reaction, Jiang Chen found it rather baffling.
“What’s with this guy? Why’s he so worked up? Did the system bug out?”
“So what’s your surname?” The old principal’s voice was practically grinding through clenched teeth.
“My surname?” Jiang Chen instantly realized something. After all this time, it seemed he had misunderstood the situation.
While thinking this, Jiang Chen opened the character panel.
【Name: Vivian Violet】
“Nani the hell?!”
“Violet?!”
“You damn—!” The old principal directly cursed. “So now do you understand the Violet Family?”
The latter nodded.
“Very good. What I’m about to say concerns the Violet Family.”
“That’s right. Just as you thought, you are part of the Violet Family!”
I didn’t think that, stop making things up!
Although Jiang Chen had not thought that, Vivian was different.
“So the Violet Family the principal mentioned is my family? But my family only consists of my mother and me. If anything, we should count as a fallen family.”
“Why would the principal specifically bring up my family?”
Vivian was extremely curious about this.
Fortunately, this time Lord Evil God did not fail her and asked the very question Vivian wanted to ask.
“Explain in detail.”
“You’re about to be in great danger,” the old principal said.
“Danger?”
Jiang Chen muttered and instantly thought of something.
“So my family was wiped out long ago by old enemies, but I ended up as the lone survivor who slipped through the net, and now they’ve discovered me and want to eliminate me completely!”
The more Jiang Chen spoke, the more excited he became.
“Tell me who they are, where they are, and how strong they are. I’ll go handle them!”
How could Jiang Chen not be excited? This was a classic revenge quest setup, and these kinds of quests were usually major questlines with huge rewards.
Right now, Jiang Chen was desperately looking for ways to increase his combat power. How could he not be thrilled?
Meanwhile, seeing Vivian suddenly become excited, the old principal himself looked confused.
He truly could not keep up with Vivian’s train of thought anymore. What was all this nonsense she was talking about?
“Stop! Enough! It’s not what you think!” The old principal raised a hand to stop Vivian from continuing her wild imagination.
“The Violet Family is an extremely powerful family. And you, Vivian, are an illegitimate daughter left outside the family!”
“And besides you, your father Coren Violet’s bloodline also has another daughter.”
“It is precisely because of this older sister that the Violet Family may attack you at any moment. You must prepare yourself mentally.”
As he spoke, the principal paused, seeming to feel his wording was inappropriate, so he added—
“To be precise, they’ve already made their move.”
“In short, because of your older sister, the Violet Family will never allow you to continue living.”
The old principal sighed.
“Perhaps this is cruel for you to hear. But remember this well: although the Violet Family is your family, you may feel guilty about becoming enemies with them.”
“Your current threat level toward your older sister is simply too great! They will absolutely find a way to eliminate you!”
“So if you ever confront them, you must not let family ties hold you back. Even if you can’t bear to strike first, you must at least protect yourself!”
Jiang Chen: ???
“Wait a second... I can understand every word individually, but together I’m getting confused.”
“Let me sort this out first.”
“So what you’re saying is, because I have an older sister, the family wants to kill me? What kind of logic is that? Are they worried I’ll return and fight for inheritance rights?”
“Is this one of those family inheritance struggle storylines?”
The old principal shook his head. “Not exactly. And your father’s branch is not the only branch of the family. No matter how you calculate it, the inheritance would never go to an abandoned illegitimate daughter like you.”
Looking at the somewhat confused Vivian, the old principal revealed the truth.
“The reason the family wants to eliminate you is because of your older sister’s Class....”
Before the old principal could finish, he was interrupted.
“I understand now. My cheap older sister’s Class is Assassin.”
“No.... stop interrupting me!” The old principal became irritated. “Your older sister’s Class is Hero, although she has not officially obtained the Hero Class yet.”
“And the Hero Class is extremely special. Younger brothers and sisters with the same father may also inherit it. In other words, once your older sister dies, the Hero Class will transfer onto you.”
“And your current strength already poses a significant threat to your older sister, while your status is merely that of an illegitimate daughter.”
“So they will absolutely eliminate you, this threat.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen finally understood the situation.
This was great.
He could even obtain the Hero Class. He wondered how much combat power that Class would provide.
Compared to Jiang Chen, who was already calculating how much combat power the Hero Class might add—
Vivian, after understanding the truth, felt incredibly conflicted.
