The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 758 The Conflict Between Two Sides (Part 1)

I was just sending a friend off to school, but this unexpected turn of events happened.

Although she wasn't a student at St. Pleton's School and had limited interaction with the people there, there was no doubt that she would likely cross paths with their future circles. Such excessive exposure under their noses was not a good thing for either Jiang Hui or Hillman, who was about to enroll.

Jiang Hui wondered if she had offended this Miss Ji or if she was retaliating for dragging them into that incident. Jiang Hui couldn't really argue with that. But regardless, she couldn't stay here any longer, since the people around her weren't exactly friendly.

While Hillman didn't quite agree with this approach, he had grown up in such an environment.

He was momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events, but quickly recovered and stepped forward to block his two friends, saying, "What are you doing?! You can't pick a fight like this! When did the children of the Central Star Region become raised like this? You're just taking advantage of my friend's good temper. I can't stand you. Did you hear that? My friend said—she's leaving."

Jiang Hui didn't understand the rules, and Clarence didn't want to deal with him. But he was the most suitable because he understood the rules but didn't care at all, and directly embarrassed these so-called aristocratic scions on the spot.

He nudged Jiang Hui's shoulder again, urging her to leave first and not get entangled with these clueless guys.

Seeing that the remaining scattered people in the restaurant were gradually gathering around, Jiang Hui and his companion decided not to linger any longer. They nodded to Hillman and prepared to leave this troublesome place.

"You're really something else. Every time I meet someone, they're a different person. If every commoner were as resourceful as you, I could understand a bit more about this world where the noble and the lowly are reversed."

This mental state seems even worse than the last time I saw him. Jiang Hui paused almost imperceptibly, then continued walking straight ahead without stopping, without even hesitating to walk alongside Clarence. After all, arguing with someone whose mental state is so unstable could easily make one unstable as well; it's better to leave.

But the other party didn't let them off so easily: "You're certainly good at finding someone; the Hillman family doesn't really care about that. But now that you've found a new backer, you've completely forgotten about your old ones."

“Did you know that Sanger Taylor is supposedly dead?” Springer’s expression suddenly turned grim.

Jiang Hui stopped in her tracks.

—A familiar name.

Since the connection was lost that night, she had never heard from that person again. No matter how she tried to contact him, or even asked Zhou Xiuwen and the others to help inquire, there was still no news. All she knew was that Taylor's youngest son had gone missing, and even his family was searching for him.

This person seemed to have vanished without a trace. If it weren't for a certain encrypted file lying in her personal terminal, Jiang Hui would have doubted whether the message she received that day was just an illusion.

According to the information Zhou Xiuwen and the others had gathered, Sangtele had a violent argument with his family after leaving Atlantis and fled, then disappeared. However, the signals he conveyed in his last message to Jiang Hui were clearly off; even if he wasn't contemplating suicide, he must have done something foolish.

Jiang Hui couldn't understand how someone who was perfectly fine, who had happily gone to take the exam not long ago, could suddenly become like this. She couldn't comprehend it, and a very pessimistic thought had already formed in her mind. Although she hadn't known Taylor for long and their relationship wasn't particularly deep, he was, after all, someone she had risked her life to save, yet she could only watch helplessly as things developed to this point. Jiang Hui's feelings were truly complicated at this moment.

"You—" Thinking his words had worked, Sprinkling raised his voice, wanting to say something more.

"I know." But to everyone's surprise, the other person didn't respond, didn't even turn their head, and just left with that sentence.

"Let's go, Al."

"Oh, oh! They're waiting in Sector D. Be careful on your way." Hillman shouted back as he realized what was happening, then glanced at the crowd trailing behind and strode away.

This group had originally come to support Springer and Ji Yunshan; encountering Jiang Hui was purely accidental. However, once someone started, they unconsciously joined in. They had expected a satisfying demonstration of authority, but instead, it ended up being a disastrous failure, leaving everyone feeling quite embarrassed.

However, the most shameless ones are the two leaders. They are both from prestigious families at the top of the pyramid, the pride of the elite. Can they tolerate such "humiliation"?

Unexpectedly, after both sides of the target had left, the two changed their demeanor, completely different from before, as if they had been separated.

"It seems she doesn't know either." Springer was no longer the arrogant and boastful person he had been just moments before; now he seemed rather bored.

"Even the Taylor family, with the help of the Fourth Legion, couldn't find her anywhere. How could she possibly know? But judging from her reaction, she must have gone to great lengths to investigate, but she probably doesn't know more than we do." Ji Yunshan knew a little more than Springer.

However, given Springer's behavior just now, there's no reason for her to stop someone from inquiring about her; she's waiting to see more of the excitement.

"As for you, you clearly have the opportunity to speak properly, but you insist on putting on this kind of image, which only makes you disliked. If you overdo it, you won't have any way to make friends with people in the future." Ji Yunshan raised an eyebrow, seemingly curious as she asked.

This guy has a really twisted sense of humor. He's usually quite sharp-minded, but he always likes to act like a brainless young master, subtly provoking all sorts of young talents from various factions. If you're talking about playing dumb to fool others, he'll provoke anyone. And while you might say he's truly brainless, he's actually quite tactful.
Springer scoffed: "Who said I was faking it? What did I say wrong? One or two hypocrites think they're so high-minded and speak up for ordinary people. Do they really know what they're doing? I want to see what kind of end they'll have when those ordinary people truly rise up."

Ji Yunshan's smile faded, almost unable to hold on any longer, because she understood Springer's unspoken meaning.

In the eyes of others, Springer was undoubtedly a brainless rich kid who cared too much about social status.

But in reality? This guy is incredibly shrewd; he may be reckless, but he's not. Otherwise, even if the two families had a peace treaty, Ji Yunshan would never have sided with the other side, because they are essentially the same kind of people.
