478 7.102 – Bing Shi’s miscalculation – War Of The Wickeds
As the days progressed, more people began to take notice of Silvia’s relationship with her teammates. They became envious of their camaraderie and resented the fact that Silvia was leading them. It didn’t take long for their jealousy to turn into outright hatred. The smaller packs of students saw such an organized group as a threat to the school’s hierarchy.
This was the first time someone decided to go against Silvia wholeheartedly outside of her twin. The students started giving Silvia’s team dirty looks and made side remarks whenever they saw them in an attempt to break them apart. This created a lot of tension and many fights erupted outside of the school. Oftentimes, they would collaboratively gang up on Silvia’s team’s weaker members.
Bing Shi miscalculated that this was a prestigious martial school filled with precisely selected students that knew how to collaborate and fight together when the situation asked for it. Simply, they weren’t the regular humans she was used to. Most were brilliantly wicked and knew how to bypass the school rules about not fighting on the school ground – no witnesses equaling no fighting occurred.
Bertha caught her breath as she continued to run around the campus; she started asking around if anyone had seen Silvia LeClére. She was used to picking Silvia up and accompanying her to class.
The students would just start to laugh, “Do you really think we’d help you?”
“We don’t care.”
“Go away.”
“Fuck off.”
Bertha was scared, her heart beating wildly. She knew she had to do something now before it was too late. As she ran through the corridors, she saw a boy staring at her with his eyes full of hatred.
.....
Bertha stopped in front of him, “Have you seen Silvia LeClére here?”
Then the boy replied, “Even if I saw her then what? You should go back to class, little beta bitch.”
Bertha was starting to panic. She felt like crying but she held her tears and continued.
The boy stood before her, “I’m not done talking to you yet!” He pushed Bertha to the floor.
The nearby students cheered, covering the angle of the cameras with their bodies. It was entertaining to watch because it was rare to see a fight on the school ground. Due to the collar around Silvia’s neck, they couldn’t confront her straight on and were tactically disbanding her team one by one.

Before the boy could kick Berta in the stomach, someone knocked out all of the air from his lungs. He coughed uncontrollably and couldn’t breathe.
The people stood there dumbfounded. Liam raised his fist in front of the students, “I will tear you apart if you ever dare to touch her again!”
Seeing them scatter away, he shook his head, then helped Bertha to stand up, “The whole school is against her. She told us to back off, so why are you searching for her like a lost puppy?”
“Because she is too pitiful!” Tears began to stroll down Bertha’s eyes.
“Psht!” Liam covered her mouth and dragged her to an abandoned class.
Noticing the situation from afar, Juliet and a few others passed by silently. It was another ‘special mission’ of Silvia’s, which should help their ‘survival’ skills—they’ve separated into five smaller teams, acting as if they disbanded to confuse the enemy.
Ezikiel, Juliet, Liam, Henry, and Laura had to find a way to get more members. They attended the school to become LADs to protect their land, not politicians!
Liam thought acting against each other would be an easy mission, not expecting so many enemies to emerge, “You just can’t run around while calling out her name.”
“I don’t care!” Bertha continued to sob, “I need to find Silvia!” Nathaniel must be using her as his puppet as if the whole school was his chess board! Everyone was messing around with others because they were bored while she tried to survive every single day!
The two went out in search of their leader, finally finding her in the abandoned warehouse.
Bertha shrieked, horrified by the sight, covering her mouth as she saw Silvia standing in the pool of blood. The collar around her neck was gone.
Silvia had cuts all over her body, her face was covered with bruises, and her eye socket was completely swollen shut. Her hair was a mess, and her clothes were torn apart. The five wailing bodies around her only intensified the brutal sight.
‘How could you do this to me?!’ Silvia screamed in anger, ‘Stop hiding and come out! This is all your fault! Without you, this would have never happened!’
A similar situation happened before. She tried to send a group of people to destroy Riley’s eggs, only for him to turn the situation back on her. Before, the St. Moon Academy LADs arrived on time to save her. This time, nobody arrived because her collar was hacked and stolen.
Liam intervened, stopping Bertha from getting closer to Silvia, “I know these guys, they are omega traffickers. These ex-LADs specialize in abducting omegas from other families. They are no joke. Someone must have granted them access to the school.”
When Silvia started to heal herself, Bertha nodded and ran out to find help.
Silvia used her cane to pierce one of the guy’s throats, “Liam,” she called out, “Finish the rest.”
Liam gulped, seeing Silvia walking outside while the four remaining guys behind her began to stand up. He lit his hands on fire, “My Lady, you can’t be serious.”
“I’m afraid I can, Liam. Try not to lose too quickly,” Silvia continued her walk, looking down at her tattered dress, she walked towards her dormitory. She felt like she was dying and reviving every time the other entity took control of her body.
Because of her behaviour, the conditions to keep her body became harsher. She had to defeat either Juliet or Liam in a fight if she wanted to get her body back for twenty-four hours. There was only much she could handle before she got enough.
╔═══ Author’s note ════╗
Instead of focusing on Riley, our couple put much more emphasis on Silvia’s team and Silvia herself. We got to know that they invested a lot into Silvia for Stinky Bun’s sake, but what about Silvia’s team? What was the reason behind their engagement with so many people?
If you remember their childhood, you would start to connect some little details. Their characters would always show through their actions. Bing Shi liked to invest everything into one ‘avatar’, while he played many at the same time, even creating new ones on the go.
With the way things are going, it seems like this couple has been building a guild throughout this whole time....?!
