Another World: The Failed Magician

Meanwhile, Dean White, whose communication crystal had just been disconnected by Lu Xuan, did not appear angry. Instead, he sat leisurely at his table.

At this moment, an elderly man with silver hair was sitting opposite Dean White.

Upon seeing the leisurely Dean White, the old man spoke first, asking, "I remember that the legacy of that person is kept on the top floor of your college library, isn't that right?"

Dean White nodded.

The old man continued, "So you just casually gave this to that kid as payment?"

Dean White took a leisurely sip of tea before speaking, "We had prepared something for him, but that kid still hasn't gotten over what happened. Making him accept the inheritance now would be tantamount to sending him to his death."

"So you're treating the inheritance as a reward? What? Are you going to retaliate against someone who refused to become your student? That's not the kind of thing White would do," the old man said jokingly.

Dean White retorted, "That's something only you hypocrites would do. Don't compare me to you. I believe he can overcome his inner demons on this mission."

The old man said disbelievingly, "You make it sound so simple. That's because you haven't encountered those 'monsters.' Being utterly defeated in your own area of ​​expertise, I don't believe that this is a mental demon that can be solved with a simple task."

"So this is no ordinary task at all. Don't worry, how could my decision be wrong?"

The old man looked up at Dean White, who was still leisurely drinking tea, and decided not to ask any further questions about the matter. He wasn't his student, and since Dean White was so confident, there was no need for the old man to say anything more.

The old man abruptly changed the subject, saying, "That Salvation Society split off from Dragon Abyss, right?"

Dean White nodded and said, "Those young people believe that this turmoil in the Eastern Dragon Empire is their opportunity, but Longyuan thinks it's too early. So today a disagreement occurred, and those young people broke away from Longyuan and formed the Salvation Society."

“Then shouldn’t we give them some support? After all, if they really succeed, they will be our greatest ally.” The old man looked at Dean White with a hopeful gaze.

Dean White shook his head and said, "Of all the human empires, only the Eastern Dragon Empire is not so hostile to us. If we openly support them, the Salvation Society will be seen as a rebel organization by the Eastern Dragon Empire. If the Eastern Dragon Empire finds out that we are supporting them, it will only make it more difficult for us to gain a foothold on the continent. Moreover, Vic resigned from his position to help them in his personal capacity. We cannot help them any longer."

Seeing that the old man was hesitant and about to speak, White spoke first and continued, "Don't think about it anymore. I know Xia Yue is your most promising student, but you need to know what a loss it would be for the Federation if you resigned and left the Loca Federation under these special circumstances."

Hearing Dean White's words, the old man spoke with a hint of anger: "You say I'm important? All these years, how come I haven't seen it? In my eyes, your abandonment of support for the Salvation Society is a betrayal of our oath. Have you forgotten the original purpose of the Loca Federation? Didn't we promise to liberate the people of the entire continent? And now? Besides secretly supporting some resistance organizations, what else have you done? Every time I come to you, you always make excuses. Fine, you dare not do it, so I'll do it. What! Now you say I'm important! You won't let me resign. What kind of logic is that?"

Hearing the old man's words, Dean White put down his teacup and said seriously, "I know you have opinions about the Federation's decisions over the years, but have you ever considered that we had a lot of luck in successfully establishing the Loca Federation back then? Those empires that have been established for hundreds or even thousands of years have a foundation that you can't imagine. So we need to accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity. As for why some members of the Salvation Society went to the Eastern Dragon Empire this time, it's because we already said when we cooperated with those organizations that we would only provide necessary resources and assistance, and we would not influence any of their decisions. So if your students want to go, there's nothing we can do. Vic's willingness to provide them with assistance is already our maximum tolerance. If you go to help them further, the Federation cannot tolerate it. And about what you mentioned, let me tell you clearly. The higher-ups of the Loca Federation and we haven't forgotten that we still need time."

The old man grew impatient with Dean White's words, as his conversations with those high-ranking officials always yielded similar results. He turned to leave.

Dean White tossed a note to the old man, who caught it, opened it, and read it. His face immediately lit up with disbelief and joy.

Dean White stepped forward and patted the old man on the shoulder, saying, "This is something you need to do. Trust me, be patient with Lucas a little longer; it's not the right time yet."

Upon hearing Dean White's words, the old man known as Lucas did not show any displeasure this time. Instead, he nodded happily and said, "I knew you old guys were definitely up to something behind my back."

Dean White waved his hand helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do. Actually, I wasn't planning to tell you this sooner, but you're so impatient. If I don't tell you something soon, you might tear down the council tomorrow."

Lucas, ignoring Dean White's words, walked happily toward the door, saying as he went, "Trust me, I guarantee I'll handle everything perfectly for you." With that, he left Dean White's office.

After Lucas left, Dean White stared at the ceiling of his office, lost in thought.
