Lance has recently had a very authentic experience of what it feels like to be an idol/star. Basically, he would be recognized and asked for photos once he steps foot outside the school... or maybe even be asked for autographs?

Lance thought to himself, "Luckily, my calligraphy skills are pretty good." After gifting a smile to the beautiful Miss Beta, Lance put on the sunglasses from his pocket and headed to the shopping mall.

After changing into brand new clothes, putting on sunglasses, and dyeing his highly recognizable golden long hair, Lance finally opened his personal terminal and glanced at the location the "hired hands" he employed had sent him.

Not far from here.

Putting on a duck-brimmed cap and releasing the skateboard in his hand, Lance whistled and finally put on a black mask, totally cool boy.

The improved energy system of the skateboard made it very fast, especially when taking shortcuts and avoiding the usual routes. Lance quickly arrived near his destination.

He had no intention of meeting with the thugs, he just wanted to watch the fight from a distance and enjoy the melee.

I wonder how long Instructor Gray can hold on.

The capital city of Star has long been developed and thriving. This makes it difficult for Lance to come across those hidden, bumpy, and mysterious alleyways that lurk in the darkness. I wonder how Grey managed to find such a place, and he seems to know his way around here quite well.

Lance opened the map and took a glance at it. Surprisingly, it wasn't too far from the school.

Lance hid himself in the shadow of the tree. He had already seen Grey, of course, and also noticed his group of hired thugs.

Always felt that this position of mine is a little dangerous... Lance pondered for a moment, then sent a message to them, telling them to create some commotion and quickly take action. Taking advantage of the nearby chaos, he quickly climbed up the large tree that was situated at the intersection, concealing himself with the cover of darkness and the leaves.

Hmm...the field of vision is not bad either.

Lance put on his sunglasses and adjusted the distance of the lenses with a hint of pleasure. Then, he began to enjoy the fight that lay ahead.

Hmm? I didn't expect Gray to be quite a capable fighter. Although both sides didn't go all out, it's obvious that Gray is still agile enough to handle the attacks from several people, even... effortlessly.

Lance's expression changed a bit. With such good skills, he's just a professor of ancient literature? No matter how you look at it... he should've joined the combat specialization.

Gray was actually a bit surprised. The people who came tonight seemed to be different from the ones he had expected.

Hmm? Gray suddenly turned his head and looked at a point in mid-air at the end of the alley. His gaze fixed upon a lush and sturdy evergreen tree. Lance, with a pair of glasses and a piercing gaze that couldn't be ignored, met his eyes. His whole body tensed up.

It felt as if a terrifying and savage beast had locked its gaze on me, sending shivers down my spine. There was a chilling stench of blood and an eerie aura of imminent death.

Thump, thump. Lanse's heart jumped heavily after Grey averted his gaze. His face paled slightly as he squeezed his own fingers, realizing that he might have been a little careless.

Gray no longer played with the cat and mouse, and kicked the last alpha who had already shown signs of retreat, sending it flying and crashing into the wall, emitting a pitiful howl. Step by step, he walked towards Lance.

The sound of footsteps was not fast, but the steady rhythm carried a hint of the fierceness one would hear on a battlefield. Each step seemed to echo with the sounds of conflict. It made Lance's complexion become even more grim.

After sending the coordinates to the eldest brother, Lance also decided not to speak. No matter what Grey's identity was, since he intended to come step by step, Lance could buy himself a few extra seconds.

Even if he intends to rush over, Lance has protective measures in place.

The people of the Xavier family are not so easily killed.

With a resounding explosion as Gray leaped off the ground, Lance's gaze suddenly became sharp.
