Chapter 21 Hello, Master
Even though he was gazing at her wrist instead of making eye contact, Milly still felt a twinge of
discomfort.
Unable to bear it, she quickly pulled down her sleeve to conceal the bracelet.
“Do you …”

Before Milly could finish her sentence, she witnessed the man’s haughty expression transform into shock, and the eyes that met hers were filled with fear.
Then, to her surprise, he bowed deeply in her direction.
“Hello, Master.
“Goodbye, Master.”

By the time Milly processed what had just happened, the individual had already vanished.
The woman beside her observed his sudden departure and attempted to call out loudly to detain him. Young man, do you still want your shaved ice?”
However, Pink Hair was nowhere to be seen.
Milly glanced down at the bracelet on her wrist, pondering whether the man’s peculiar behaviour was linked to the bracelet. Could it be that this bracelet harbours a hidden secret?
Nevertheless, after scrutinising it carefully for some time, she could not discern any enigmas. It appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary silver bracelet.
That man must be out of his mind!
Meanwhile, Pink Hair hurried to the depths of the alley. He ensured he was at a safe distance before finally relaxing.
Leaning against the wall, he took several deep breaths.
Subsequently, with trembling hands, he retrieved a black phone from the pocket of his neon–green leather jacket, unlocked it, and dialed a number.
The phone rang for a moment before someone answered.
“Oliver, you’d better have a good reason for calling me at this hour. If you’re just babbling nonsense, I swear I’ll end you!”
Pink Hair, also known as Oliver disregarded the threat on the other end of the line, panting as he spoke, “Hey, listen up. I saw the new sect leader!”
There was a brief silence on the other end.
“It’s midnight here in Maldonia. Is it also midnight where you are? Are you suggesting that the spirit of the

Oliver stomped his foot in frustration. “Hey! Watch your words, lest the sect leader decide to pay you a visit. I’m talking about the new sect leader! I saw her with my own eyes. I couldn’t have mistaken the bracelet.
“But what bailles me is that the new sect leader is actually a high school student.”
Another pause ensued on the phone.
After a moment, a clicking sound was heard, as if a lighter had been ignited.
“Are you absolutely certain you didn’t make an error?”
“What do you take me for? The bracelet was right in front of me. I wouldn’t risk getting expelled from the Ghost Sect by making a mistake!” Oliver retorted angrily.
“Understood. I’ll be back in the country soon. We’ll discuss this further when we meet.”
.40.
It seemed that the individual on the other end of the line could sense Oliver’s hesitation, so he didn’t hang up but inquired further. “What? Is something else bothering you?”
Oliver gulped nervously and cautiously said, “I didn’t realise she was the sect leader earlier, so I was a bit… disrespectful. Do you think I’m in danger of being punished?
“Sob. I still have a lot to accomplish in my career. I’m not ready to meet my dernise just yet.
“If the worst happens, remember to get me a nice little urn. I hate metal ones. I want a ceramic one with flowers on it, but not roses, Roses are so cliche, and they don’t suit my style-”
Before he could finish, the call had already been disconnected.
Crestwood High’s efficiency was remarkable, as the results were announced the following morning.
However, it wasn’t their homeroom teacher, Anna, who entered to deliver the news, but the principal, who beamed like a sunflower.
He held a piece of paper, stood on the platform with a smile, and cleared his throat before saying. “Ahem, students, this time, class A has made great progress overall. The average score has increased from 680 points in the last exam to 705 points. This is a significant improvement!”
As soon as this was said, the whole class erupted in excitement.
The exam was particularly challenging this time, and they had managed to have a breakthrough, which was a first for them.
“One student performed exceptionally well this time, scoring full marks in three subjects and only losing five points in English. She achieved a total score of 745, securing the top spot in the grade!”
After the principal finished speaking, everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards Anthony in the back

Anthony furrowed his brow. He knew it wasn’t him. He had made a mistake in a math multiple–choice

question, so it couldn’t be a perfect score. Could it be William?
At that moment, William was also gritting his teeth, knowing he wasn’t in first place either!

He hadn’t completed the final question in integrated science, so a perfect score was out of the question. Anthony has taken the top spot again, humph!
Their eyes met, and invisible sparks flew.
On the platform, the principal continued, “Let’s congratulate Milly for scoring 745 points and clinching first place in the grade. Let’s give her a round of applause!
