Chapter 771 A Costly Lesson

Before doing anything, Corvin walked over to the door and made sure the lock was secure.

Nobody could barge into Silas‘ room unannounced.

Only then did he return and activate his lightcore.

“You’re not allowed to laugh at me after watching it.”

Unable to ease his anxiety, he warned Silas again before tapping on the video and turning the screen toward Silas.

“Don’t worry. I won’t laugh.”

Silas nodded earnestly and shifted his gaze toward Corvin’s lightcore.

Watching the video of Corvin wearing bunny ears and dancing shirtless, he had to bite his lips hard to keep from bursting into laughter.

As expected of Emma, her pranks were always really something…

Corvin immediately turned off his lightcore the moment the video finished playing.

He gave Silas a pitiful, pleading look.

“You’ve seen the video now. You have to help me!”

Suppressing his laughter, Silas nodded with a straight face.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”

Corvin, hearing that Silas would help, hurriedly asked, “Do you have a plan? How will you help me?”

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll talk to Emma,” Silas reassured. “I guarantee that–aside from you, me, and Emma–no one else will learn about the video.”

Corvin relaxed instantly at those words, relieved to hear Silas‘ promise.

After all, Silas was the most reliable person when it came to getting things done.

“You’re the best, Silas! I just realized–you’re the only true friend I have!

“People like Lucien will only kick someone when they’re already down.”

Silas smiled warmly. “Of course, we’re best friends who grew up together.”

Raising his hand, he adjusted the gold rimmed glasses on his nose. His smile was extremely gentle, and his tone was absolutely sincere. It was impossible to find fault with his demeanor

“But even best friends should settle accounts clearly.”

Picking up a document from the table, he handed the file to Corvin

“I’ll help you with your problem, and you’ll help me with one of mine.”

“What problem?” Corvin took the file, looking confused.

When he opened the file, he realized it was an order placed for his laboratory.

t was a long list of items–almost like chains binding him to his laboratory.

‘I urgently need this batch of weapons, warships, and mech.” Silas smiled. “You need to finish them within two months upon our

eturn.”

Looking at the order sheet in his hand, Corvin’s face fell. His expression looked worse than when he had been dancing earlier.

‘This many? I’ll have to stay in the lab for two whole months, if I want to finish them on time!”

He shook his head vigorously, the bunny tail puff hanging from his waistband swinging wildly with his movements.

‘No, no! I won’t take the order!”

f he did, he wouldn’t be able to see Emma for two whole months!

‘Are you sure you won’t take the order?”

Silas calmly took the document back from Corvin.

Though the smile on his face remained unchanged, his gentle gaze suddenly held a hint of regret.

Keeping his tone light, he continued, “In that case… I can’t help you with the video either.

‘I wonder what expressions Lucien and Alaric will have when they see the video.

‘Especially Alaric. Don’t be fooled by his cold, indifferent demeanor–He’s actually a huge gossip. I’m sure everyone will know everything once he’s seen the video.”

‘Stop! Don’t say another word!” Listening to those words, Corvin could feel his scalp going numb with fear.

Shame surged to the top of his head in that instant.

Just imagining the scene made him feel as though his life was already over.

On one hand, he would be forced to leave for two months; on the other, he would suffer the ultimate nightmare of social death.

He clenched his teeth. Eyes welling with tears, he shouted resentfully, “I’ll take it! I’ll take it, okay!?”

It was just two months of laboriously forging away in the lab.

He’d endure anything if he could avoid death by embarrassment.

As soon as Corvin agreed, Sila immediately tossed the document back to him.

“Then, it’s settled,”

Corvin stared at the document in his hand, feeling extremely wronged.

You’ve changed, Silas.” His voice practically dripped with grievance. “You weren’t like this before.”

Heh! I’m just helping you learn a lesson.” Silas chuckled. “Next time you dare to spew nonsense in the group chat… it won’t be as imple as two months in the lab.”

le patted Corvin on the shoulder in mock comfort.

I could make it so that you never leave the lab again–for the rest of your life.”

hings finally clicked into place in Corvin’s mind. His fingers tightened around the ridiculous order sheet in his hands as he bruptly jerked his head upward and pointed at Silas in disbelief. His voice rose sharply, cracking with shock.

No way… Is this ridiculous order your revenge for me talking nonsense in the group chat?”

can’t be… right? Silas couldn’t be that petty… right?

Revenge?”

ilas reached out to straighten Corvin’s slightly rumpled collar. The smile on his face became almost unbearably tender. He spoke oftly, his tone gentle, as though he were soothing a child.

How could you think that of me? I’m simply teaching you a lesson.”

orvin was speechless.

low was that any different from revenge?

Alright.”

ilas cut the conversation short, not giving Corvin a chance to continue complaining. Lifting his wrist, he checked the time. Then, e politely ushered Corvin to the door.

You’ve received your lesson; you can go back now.

‘m going to visit Emma to settle things regarding the video.”

djusting his cuffs, he started walking toward the door.

Corvin, still feeling terribly aggrieved, had more to say…
