Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

"This is no simple matter!" Caesar pondered. "The academy is protected by the vice-principal's Word of Power, making it impossible to use Word of Power at all!"

Percy shrugged: "I've said I'm an elite member of the Gattuso family, so I'll naturally find a way to handle these things!"

Caesar hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure?"

“Yes!” Percy said confidently. “This is Kassel College. I may not be a match for Lin Chen in secret, but when everything is out in the open, Lin Chen’s tricks will be useless. He will have to undergo hypnosis by our investigators!”

"Understood. If Lin Chen chooses to refuse in various ways, then we will have the upper hand!"

Percy stood up and straightened his clothes: "The investigation will be held tomorrow night. Will you be attending, young master?"

Caesar pondered for a moment, his face expressionless: "I will participate. Lin Chen is my opponent. If you fail, I will step in to save the day!"

Percy was taken aback: "You think I'll fail?"

Caesar shook his head: "No, but you are just the family's elite, while I am the young patriarch. After you, I am the biggest trump card. If you can't deal with Lin Chen, then I'll have to step in!"

Percy lowered his head: "Understood!"

……

At that moment, in the Norton Pavilion, Lin Chen, who was in the midst of a passionate encounter, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

Susie pulled the blanket up for Lin Chen: "Did you catch a cold?"

Nono leaned closer to Lin Chen: "Is it warmer now?"

Lin Chen touched his nose: "Maybe someone is cursing at me!"

"Superstition! Keep playing!"

…eight….

76: What kind of investigation meeting is this?! This is Lin Chen's idol meet-and-greet!

The investigation was scheduled for the following evening.

As the secretary of the Gattuso family, Percy certainly possessed extraordinary power.

Despite the widespread condemnation of the family's investigation team, he still did his best to organize the investigation.

The original plan was that Lin Chen's investigation would have a strict procedure.

The investigation team was well-equipped, including psychology experts, debaters, detectives, and dragon experts...

These people gathered together, fully prepared to deal with Lin Chen.

But before they could even display their skills, Lin Chen had already easily defeated them.

Percy had exhausted all his connections, making a thorough investigation impossible.

The maximum the academy allowed was to investigate Lin Chen within a certain timeframe and in an external environment.

Such an opportunity was hard-won, and Passy made careful preparations.

The investigation was held in the college auditorium, with two sets of tables and chairs placed facing each other on the stage.

Lin Chen and Percy will sit facing each other, and the audience will be filled with curious students.

The auditorium is open to the public, and students can come and go as they please.

Parsey strongly protested this, saying that the investigation involved Odin, which should be top secret, and how could students be allowed to listen in!

However, Manstein stated that the fact that your investigation team made such a grand appearance at Kassel College had already revealed too much information, and the students now have no goodwill towards anyone with the surname Gattuso! Neither the students nor the college can agree to you interrogating Lin Chen privately!

As a result, the auditorium, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, was packed to capacity on the night of the investigation meeting.

All the students of the Lionheart Society participated, with President Arkas sitting in the front row.

Chu Zihang, an auditor at the academy, was also present. This was arranged by Lin Chen, who specifically wanted him to broaden his horizons.

The other students were mostly girls, and Kassel College had no shortage of admirers of Lin Chen.

Nono and Susie made a lot of banners, and without exception, they all had slogans supporting Lin Chen's rejection of the Gattuso family investigation team.

There was another group of people in the venue, carrying all sorts of cameras, their long lenses and short lenses aimed at the stage.

These people were from the journalism department of Kassel College, and Fingel was their leader.

In an inconspicuous corner sat a silent person.

Unlike the excited students, he simply sat up straight quietly.

Because his surname is Gattuso, Caesar, the young patriarch of the Gattuso family, is sitting here.

He considers Lin Chen his rival, and he won't miss any scenes involving Lin Chen!

The investigation was chaired by Manstein, the head of the disciplinary committee.

Manstein stood in the center of the stage with a microphone in hand, his bald head reflecting the white light of the spotlight.

"Silence!" Manstein coughed lightly twice, drawing everyone's attention. "Today's public investigation meeting officially begins. I am Manstein, the head of the Disciplinary Committee!"

"First, please allow me to explain the background of this investigation. Half a month ago, Lin Chen, a freshman in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was on a mission in China and made contact with Odin's Death Servants. The Gattuso family raised objections to this and therefore wanted to investigate Lin Chen's mission experience!"

"Now let's welcome the representative of the Gattuso family, Parsegatso!"

Someone walked out from the left side of the stage; it was Percy, wearing a white suit.

His hair was blond, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a flamboyant yet business-like appearance.

Percy's appearance drew gasps of dismay, and the students were filled with contempt for the Gattuso family.

Countless banners were raised high, all of them bearing slogans that vehemently denounced the Gattuso family.

Having weathered many storms, Percy nodded slightly, seemingly unperturbed.

He sat down in the seat closest to him and waited quietly for the next procedure.

Manstein continued, "Now let's welcome tonight's protagonist, Lin Chen, who will confront Secretary Passy of the Gattuso family!"

The audience erupted in applause, and the girls cheered.

Someone called out Lin Chen's name, and gradually everyone joined in, including many female students from the student council.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Lin Chen appeared on the other side of the stage.

The spotlight shone on Lin Chen, who, dressed in his school uniform, seemed to radiate holy light like an angel.

The entire audience chanted Lin Chen's name, and some girls started rushing up to give him flowers.

Manstein was stunned; the disciplinary committee had not prepared for such a segment.

But one girl after another came to give him flowers, and Lin Chen's hands were soon filled with them.

Lin Chen smiled and nodded to each of the girls who gave him flowers, and even hugged and kissed them on the cheek.

Lin Chen could no longer put down the flowers in his hands, so he had to place them on the table.

The flower delivery process took several minutes to complete before Lin Chen appeared amidst the profusion of flowers.

Fingel stood in front of the tripod, envious, thinking to himself, "This is so awesome!"

Chu Zihang, who was present, was stunned.

Upon hearing about today's investigation meeting, Chu Zihang thought Lin Chen was in big trouble.

A student going against the school board on their own sounds like a clash with no chance of winning.

But Lin Chen remained calm and composed throughout, as if he were not a student facing investigation and trial, but a beloved idol at an idol fan meeting!

Percy, sitting opposite, also frowned, but maintained a rational attitude.

"A mere trick!" Percy sneered.

In his view, the confrontation with Lin Chen began the moment Lin Chen stepped onto the stage.

Lin Chen made the first move and received countless flowers!

He didn't think Lin Chen's move was particularly clever, and wondered if it would have any impact on today's investigation.

"Can we begin?" Percy asked Manstein.

Manstein nodded: "Next, let's invite the academy's expert, Professor Masafumi Tomiyama from the Department of Psychology. His psychological counseling and hypnosis are top-notch!"

Teacher Masafumi Tomiyama walked onto the stage from the side, his expression unusually clear-headed.

Masashi Tomiyama nodded to the people on the field, and during the greeting, Lin Chen and he made a brief eye contact.
