Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 370 The Encounter

Charley saw Lela in front of him, head down, playing on her phone. He leaned over to take a look and saw a post pinned at the top.

It was clear that Lela was behind all this.

He knew Lela was a self-taught hacker with impressive skills.

But when he saw the title of the post, his mouth dropped open, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Sensing his reaction, Lela picked up her phone and turned towards Charley, teasingly shaking it at him. "What do you think? Pretty eye-catching, huh?" Charley's mouth twitched. "Lela, isn't this a bit too much?"

He then pointed to himself. "I'm the last in the school, you know."

Academic studies never quite held his interest.

With a sweep of his hand, he drew a large circle, encompassing their classmates. "And it's not just me. They're in the same boat."

So, winning this bet was utterly out of the question.

Lela raised an eyebrow. "Don't underestimate yourself. Look at me; I'm so optimistic."

Charley thought to himself,' This is a disaster.

'Since winning isn't an option, maybe I should figure out a way to take Dorothy down a peg or two.'

At this moment, a classmate gasped.

"This post really grabs attention."

"I think we're done for. Competing with Class 12A in grades, we're definitely going to lose."

Gilbert, sitting next to Eleanor, had a gloomy face. "Lela is too amazing. If it were a fight, we could definitely beat Class 12A, but in grades? No way. This is just asking for trouble..." Before he could finish, Eleanor scolded him, "Say that again."

Gilbert didn't dare to speak. He quickly waved his hand but still insisted, "But I'm telling the truth."

Hearing this, Eleanor didn't want to say more and sighed lightly.

The whole classroom couldn't help but look at Lela.

They saw Lela still playing on her phone.

Lela had made a bet, so wasn't she supposed to be studying hard now?

After that, Lela ignored the others and messaged Matthew.

[Help me look up a man, Alvin Scott, from Holy Light Elite Academy.]

The first time she had met him, she smelled the scent of lotus cigarettes on him, and she had smelled it again on that man last night.

Moreover, their build was so similar!

It couldn't be a coincidence.

Matthew had gone to South Korea this morning for an assassination mission. In the Illusionist Guild, everyone had their territory, and within that territory, they had their internal development. Seeing the message, he replied: [Emily, if it's not urgent, I'll send it to you tonight.]

[Not urgent.]

Turning off her phone, Lela looked up and saw everyone staring at her.

She smiled slightly and made a fist. "Fighting!"

Lela was so good-looking that they couldn't get angry. So they sucked it up.

At noon, Charley, Eleanor, Gilbert, and a few friends took Lela to the cafeteria for lunch.

Their good looks attracted many glances.

Charley protected Lela and Eleanor, giving cold stares to those around them, causing them to lower their heads in fear quickly. Some girls blushed when they saw Charley.

Eleanor pulled Lela aside and said, "Lela, do you know about the posts about you on the school forum?"

Lela turned her head. "What's up?"

Eleanor continued, "This morning, all the posts discussing you disappeared. Gilbert's girlfriend from 9th grade told us that many of her classmates who were discussing you on the forum had their phones bricked. No one knows who did it, but it's so cool."

Lela smirked, "It must be someone impressive."

Charley, hands in his pockets, glanced at Lela upon hearing this, his mouth twitching.

Just as they reached the cafeteria entrance, they saw a group from Class 12A surrounding Susanne, also heading to the cafeteria. Susanne's deskmate looked at Lela's group and sneered, "Isn't this the famous one from Class 12J?"
