บท 142: The American

I nodded slowly as I stared at Vice Principal Jeanette Wen's beautiful and elegant face, not entirely believing what her words signified.

"Did she just put the words "delicious" and "Golden Mecha" together in one sentence?" I thought incredulously. "She wants me to devour the Golden Mechas???"

"And I suppose you've heard about the two Golden Mechas which are enroute?" She looked at me slyly.

"So that's why she placed me in the same room as Barrick Rui!" My mind instantly realized. "What a sneaky and wonderful Vice Principal I have!"

"Hehehehe." Jeanette Wen chuckled lightly at my thunderstruck face. "I am NOT giving you my permission to do anything to the Golden Mechas, of course. I am not allowed to encourage anything that would make the already insane tension we have with the Europeans any worse."

I blinked slowly as I processed her words.

"I am not giving you my permission to…" is different from "I forbid you from…".

Of course I knew the distinction.
