“Book two tickets to the nearest airport to Nottingbrook State, and then get a car to pick me
up.”
It was Friday today, and after some thoughts, she sent a message to Ms. Emerson to ask for leave for
the afternoon session.
After that, she returned to the room and looked at Specter’s still entranced face as she said,” Eat up.
Come with me once we’re done eating.”
Specter was surprised when he heard that as he turned to Nicole. When she saw the smile on his small
face, the coldness in her eyes slowly faded away.
She patted his head and picked up her cutlery as she started eating as well.
“The dishes here are not bad.”
Knowing that he could go with Nicole, Specter looked up and once again had the desire to talk with her.
“Not as good as the cook at my place.”
As he said that, he looked at Nicole with eyes full of expectation that she would continue to ask more
questions.
Nicole did not follow his wish but instead wiped the corner of her mouth. “If you’re done, let’s
Specter responded with some dejection. He thought that Nicole would be curious about him during their
first meeting, but she was not as excited as he was.
To him, Lucifer was both his master and his friend. She was a legend among hackers and was the most
difficult peak for him to climb.
Now that he had finally met her, he was naturally very excitable.
Nicole took him downstairs as he said, somewhat begrudgingly, behind her. “Nicole, why aren’t you
interested in me at all?”
When Nicole heard what he said, she did not turn back but instead said. “I thought you were hoping that I
wouldn’t ask.”
After all, when the two were on missions, they had never divulged any of their personal information. It
was like a tacit understanding without words. Not asking each other’s true details was the rule that both
Lucifer and Specter would abide by beyond the screen,
Thinking that since Lucifer had come to look for her, Nicole turned around and looked at him as she said,
“However, I’ve already got your information earlier on.”
It was not only just his information. If Nicole really wanted, she could dig out details of his ancestors as
well.
However, out of respect for his privacy, Nicole did not look at much of it but instead just simply took a
glance at his real name.
Looking at the tongue-tied Specter, there was a rare tinge of laughter in her voice.
“Hello, Zeke Guzman.”
Zeke looked at Nicole in a daze, seemingly unable to react.
It was only when Nicole had drawn a distance from him that he quickly followed, “Eh, Nicole, wait for
me!”
It was the weekend, and after school, Snow and Raine were picked up by the car sent from the Riddle
family
Snow was still carrying a thermos container with her with a grim expression on her face. She had
originally planned to give this to Harvey, but after waiting until everyone was gone at the bottom of his
unit, someone told her that Harvey had taken leave for today due to some emergency and did not come
to school.
When she remembered that Harvey’s phone was turned off when she called him, her grip upon the
container tightened as she smiled at the person and thanked him for telling her that before leaving
embarrassedly.
Harvey would never tell her what he was up to.
Fortunately, he still spoke up for her before Mr. Wyance. That meant he cared about her, and that was
enough.
Snow tried to calm herself that it did not matter, but the moment she got into her room, she smashed the
thermos container into the ground, shattering it into pieces. The hot soup splashed out, staining the
majestic carpet with blotches of stain.

Raine was shocked by Snow’s sudden tantrum and immediately asked, “Snow, what’s the matter?”
