Chapter 70 - 65

Even though, the family head was proven innocent. They still got their lead. Chun arranged Rye to monitor closely Yu Hai as he could be the next target of the culprit. Though, the head patriarch could be a possible target but the silver haired young man had another plan in mind.

At night, Chun decided to hold a meeting inside her room. She wanted it to be a covert discussion between her and the students without any outsiders. As the silver haired young man stated that anyone could be a suspect in the Yu household, she's not only implying about the family members but the servants as well.

"Samuel Lacos, 21 years old came from Zenzen continent and he started working here in the Yu household last year as his father wasn't able to work anymore due to his sickness," Lith stated as she read the documents that Chun ȧssigned her to find out. The results from what Terra and Lith stipulated, the culprit could be a man around twenties and had a height of 171 cm tall. He's left-handed and had been living here for four years longer.

Terra then proceeded to another person, "Chan Jing, he had been serving the Yu family since he was thirteen years old and he is now 25 years old."

"Dan Fu, 23 years old…"

The silver haired young man continued to listen at them as she was in deep thought. She had been missing something. Currently, they were ȧssessing the servants of the Yu household in order to draw out the suspect from them as it was impossible for the family members to do it as all of them was not fitted to the concluded profile of the suspect.

Immediately, Chun brought out the strange clock that she found out from the basement.

"What is that, teacher?" Kai Sun asked as he examined the object. He touched the hand of it as he tried to move it but it didn't budge.

"I don't know too but I found it in the basement where the clue led me."

Lerrent who was beside Kai Sun, noticed the back of the object as he said, "This symbol is the same in that exquisite box that contained the Eishener cube."

"Hmm. This is the Ignes text, it came from the silver age and it represented the rising and setting of the sun," Chun explained as Lerrent processed it.

Having an idea, the sloth young man stated, "What if you follow what was this strange clock was pointing on."

"What do you mean?"

"Teacher, this looks like a sundial."

-----

The heating rays of the sun was piercing as the silver haired young man was in the middle of the courtyard with no shade over her head but only the umbrella that Samuel was holding covered her from the heat. She was concentrated on arranging the right position of the sundial to its arrow pointing to the east direction.

The seven students were by the side of the courtyard where a pavilion was located. They were observing to what the teacher was doing under the heat of the sun while Yu Luo and his ȧssistant were with them.

"What is third young master doing?" Yu Luo stated with curiosity while his eyes betrayed his tone due to the adoration he was directing to Chun. He couldn't believe that under the sunlight, his goddess looks more surreal.

"Teacher is figuring something out," Kai Sun replied as he fanned himself with his hand. Even though, they were under a roof, he still felt the emitting heat of the sun rays.

Finding nothing to talk with, Li Li suddenly opened up, "Head Patriarch, may I ask you something?"

Yu Luo turned his attention towards the innocent-looking girl who had a mechanical headband on her forehead. "What is it, girl?"

"Why are you calling teacher third young master?" Li Li had been curious to what truly the identity of the silver haired young man as she was their newly appointed handler and even the headmaster didn't divulge the true identity of Chun but she and her classmates somehow had an idea of the silver haired young man's background.

The test that Chun passed as an instructor had a big part on being admitted in the Harconia Institute but the institute had an unspoken rules of only recruiting instructors that had a prestigious background when it came to the Minds department, that's one of the reason why the vice headmaster was their temporary handler as their last instructor couldn't handle their pranks and naughty attitudes.

Before the silver haired young man was recruited as their handler/instructor, they thought that she would be another victim of their schemes but they didn't expect that the teacher was more of a schemer than them. The first time Chun arrived, she walked in unperturbed by their traps and they were the ones who got fallen to the simulation of the teaher. That was one of the reason that they had a tacit understanding between their team that to allow this teacher to live through her days.

"Oh, Third Young Master Chun came from Sereign continent and he's the third son of Shenin Shuho who is the president of the Shu Empire, a business who isn't only focused on technology advancement but more in internet industry. They're truly the best of the best," Yu Luo with praises on his voice couldn't help but be filled with excitement while thinking of his business opponent.

Wei sighed at his fervor as he couldn't control the mȧsȯċhɨstic nature of his boss. He would naturally praised his opponents infront of the people that sometimes other would think that he wasn't an opponent to them but their fan.

Listening to that, Rye couldn't help but spoke up, "Shu Empire? I heard of them. I'm currently using one of their modified tablet, XP Cosmos." Rye showed the tablet that was a size of a normal notebook that he would usually carry when he felt that his ŀȧptop wasn't convenient. The tablet was currently monitoring every corner of the Yu household, there are hundreds of boxes showing on the screen. It wasn't only a simple touchscreen tablet as it was connected to the perception of the user. Using a small handset attached to his temple and ear, Rye could control the monitors to what he would be viewing through his mind. The tablet had a fast internet databasing as it supplied its own signal by the designed signal packets inside the tablet.

Lerrent didn't comment on that as he knew very well the Shuho household and that Shu Empire didn't only focused on the technology or internet field but they had business branches that were into the restaurants, trading industry, weaponry, and clothing.

'Young lord, the sun will be setting at 5pm and it will be good to wait under the pavilion.' Art was on a branch of a tree as he looked ten meters away from his young master. He couldn't help but feel a bothering emotion when he saw another butler was beside his young master.

Perhaps, it was not his time yet to be on the open with his young master. He would usually be hidden in the shadows, tailing the silver haired young man as it was in their contract that he would only show up if he was needed. At first, he didn't care at all as he was binded by this contract to the youth accidentally and this was supposed to be a favourable agreement between them. As he protected Chun, he would gain what he needed. He needed another five years and he would be off from this shackle but he didn't think that things would turned out like this.

He was unaware that he was sinking deeper to the depths of unknown that he would be too late to recover from it.

"Samuel, what's the time?"

The charming butler took out a pocket watch and stated, "2:45, young master."

Chun sighed and listened to the advise of Art as she went to the pavilion to take cover.

"How was it, Teacher?" Kai Sun fervently asked.

The silver haired young man sensed that the aura wasn't right inside the pavilion. There were odd looks that her students were sending her, Chun's sight landed to the avoiding head patriarch as he didn't looked directly at the youth as he pretended to talk to his ȧssistant.

The silent Rye suddenly broke the strange atmosphere, "Teacher, what's the lastest product the Shu Empire will be launching next year?"

'Oh, they knew.' Chun thought but it didn't bothered her. She smiled at the other and stated, "I have no idea but I heard from my father that they will be releasing a newest security system next month and they wanted top hackers to try to decrypt the system in order for their IT experts to see out the loopholes of the new system."

Rye with excited expression blurted out, "I will be participating then!"

"Now, now, you got hooked the tech geek into your fanclub, young master," Kai Sun teased as he hanged his arm on the silver haired young man's shoulder. Comparing their height, Kai Sun was a head taller to Chun that made the young man irked from it.
