Chapter 434 - Rosalien

Marion hurriedly went to the cafeteria to meet Terry after her class with Professor Hedwig. She wanted to check some developments in St. Mary University, to find if there was any new information that passed outside after she appeared as the famed campus belle.

Because she was in a hurry, she did not pay attention on the way and crashed into a beautiful petite girl with short hair, wearing casual outfit and sneakers. She was walking while flipping a book and didn't notice Marion walk toward her.

"I ... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you," Marion hurriedly apologized and turned to help the girl she ran into, expecting that the girl had been thrown to the ground due to Marion's unusual strength. She ended up stunned seeing that the other girl actually did not budge in her place. "Eh ... are you alright?"

The short-haired girl narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at Marion, her gaze subtly showing she was as surprised as her. Aware of her very strong physique, she also initially expected Marion to be thrown off the ground, yet the result of their collision was that both of them were standing face-to-face without moving a step from their spots.

After two seconds, the eyes of the unusually strong girl turned round. She looked at Marion in disbelief.

"Are you okay?" Marion asked once again, interrupting the other girl's thoughts.

"Uhm ... I'm fine."

"Okay, then I'll excuse myself. Sorry for bumping into you. It's my fault for not looking ahead while walking," Marion leaned forward a little and then ran back to the cafeteria.

The girl she left behind looked stunned for a while, then she pulled her cellphone out.

"Takeshi, where are you? I'm looking for books in the university library because they have a complete collection. If you can get here soon I'll show you something very interesting," she said on the phone. "You won't believe who just collided with me here."

Takeshi answered from the other end of the line, "Hello, Rosalien. Okay, I'll be there shortly."

Rosalien stood still, staring at the departing figure of 'Aleksis' who was hurrying toward the cafeteria. The wind blew her hair into a mess but she ignored it. Her mind was busy recalling what happened two months ago when they were all called to Germany. Their leader, who was also her foster father, decided to disband Rhionen Assassins for good.

All because of that girl.

The girl who was supposed to be dead turned out alive and well, and now she was out and about like no whatsoever accident befell her. Did Alaric know that the one he was looking for was still alive? Rosalien wondered to herself.

Should I tell Alaric about Aleksis' existence, or should I just kill her so she will not cause any more problems for us in the future? The question crossed Rosalind's mind yet her heart could not decide.

On one hand, she wanted to tell her foster father that she had just met Aleksis, but another part of her brain was telling her the girl was just a source of problems.

Since Alaric met Aleksis, Rosalien had heard that so many things changed about her foster father. Even Rhionen Assassins, which had been around for decades, long before Rosalind was born, got disbanded.

For her, Rhionen Assassins was everything. They were her father, her brothers, and her family.

For the last two months, she had been wandering around the world aimlessly. She deliberately entered an agreement to meet Takeshi in Singapore because she missed her foster brother. They then planned out to tour Japan together.

Unexpectedly, today she ran into the girl who was the major reason for their headache.

Aleksis Makela.

After pondering for a while, Rosalind decided to follow Aleksis to the cafeteria She would observe this person closely for some time before deciding the actions she should make.

In the cafeteria, Aleksis became the subject of gossips as everyone was surprised to see the girl rumored to have died, suddenly came to school, and in such a carefree fashion. As usual, Aleksis walked with both indifference and confidence. She was the new queen bee and she behaved as such.

Anjali and her cronies were sitting in the middle of the cafeteria, laughing about something. When the famous beauty entered through the door, one of the girls nudged Anjali. Afterward, they all promptly went silent and turned to Aleksis.

Ufff ... for the past two months they had casually sat at the best table in the cafeteria which belonged to Aleksis. They even tried to remove the girl's name from her table, thinking that Aleksis had died and would never return. The girl's sudden appearance made them shocked.

Anjali did not want to be called out and embarrassed, so she quickly stood up and in a haughty manner, she confronted Aleksis.

"You're back," she said mockingly.

Marion recognized the girl in front of her so she greeted Anjali in a tone laced with laziness, "Anjali."

"Since you have simply disappeared from campus, I have asked for official permission from the university director to take over this table. You have to find a new table," Anjali announced, crossing her arms across her chest.

Marion had caught a small carving of the name Aleksis in the corner of the luxurious teak table and she immediately understood what was going on. Surely Aleksis had brought her own table here.

Haha ... that girl is cute too , she thought. Now that Aleksis was gone, the girls in front of her wanted to take control of it to show authority.

"You must have idolized me so much that you wanted to take my used goods," said 'Aleksis', smiling mischievously. "It's okay, just use it. I happened to have ordered a new, nicer table."

Anjali's fierce face suddenly turned red. She did not want to be called out for using Aleksis' secondhand goods. With a rough grunt she kicked the leg of the table and then led her cronies out of the cafeteria.

"Huh, who wants to use this ugly table!" she screamed as she turned towards 'Aleksis' before completely disappearing from the place.

'Aleksis' just shook her head, then sat at her table casually. She ordered food while waiting for Terry. The young man arrived five minutes later. His eyes had dark circles under them which indicated that he was lacking in sleep, but his face looked excited.

"Sorry, I'm late. My editing assignments have piled up high. Did you order food already?" he asked while sitting in front of 'Aleksis'. Seeing his 'sister' nod, he hurriedly ordered lunch for himself.

While waiting for the order to arrive he pulled out his laptop and showed the trending topic on their Splitz Group University social media. "You have become the subject of discussion all over this campus. It is only a matter of time before they hear about your return."

Marion who was posing as Aleksis nodded. "Neo and Endo will be here to help me. They will arrive tonight, but I'm afraid the Rhionen Assassins are already here and will be coming to me before them."

Her voice was very soft and her expression looked very normal, so people who saw her from afar only assumed Marion was talking about trivial things with Terry.
