Bab 124: A Deal With The Principal

"Neo Hargraves, come with me," Charlotte said.

She summoned her phoenix.

Neo climbed on its back with her.

They reached the mansion on top of the clouds and entered the study room.

The principal called the puppet maids.

"Prepare tea for us."

"Understood."

The puppet with silver eyes brought them tea.

Neo drank it quietly.

"Let's settle the important topic first.

"How much time do you have left?" Charlotte asked.

"A few minutes at best."

Neo raised his palm.

Sparks of condensed red lightning flickered around his body.

Charlotte opened her mouth.
