My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot-Chapter 185 - 179: Queen of the Seas?

Elias Lennox smiled. "In that case, I expect a feast."

Leigh Miles immediately pulled out her phone to check her private stash, asking painfully, "Is under 300 okay?"

Elias Lennox burst out laughing.

"I’m still a student. My allowance is limited."

"Alright then, tell me who this is, and we’ll call it even." Elias Lennox sat up and pulled out his phone, flipping to a photo.

Leigh Miles looked at the few unfamiliar faces on the screen and shook her head. "I don’t know them."

"Really? They’ve been tailing me for a long time..."

Leigh Miles froze. She suddenly remembered asking Mr. Beta to help her tail him and said guiltily, "Maybe they’re paparazzi. They probably saw how handsome you are, Senior Brother, and thought you were a celebrity."

Elias Lennox laughed loudly again and reached out to ruffle her hair. "You’re too cute, Junior Sister."

Just then, a few knocks sounded at the infirmary door. Flynn Morgan pushed it open and walked in, followed by Aurora Sinclair.

Flynn Morgan had already learned from Aurora Sinclair that this man was the nephew of her grandmaster, making him a sort of senior brother. A sense of alarm rose in his heart.

His own master had already been blocked by Aurora Sinclair’s eldest senior brother, and now another one had shown up.

’What’s his goal?’

"Hello, I’m Windwalker, the team captain." Flynn Morgan politely extended his right hand.

Elias Lennox smiled and shook his hand. "I’m an international exchange student, Elias Lennox."

After some simple pleasantries, Aurora Sinclair prepared to take Leigh Miles home. Seeing this, Elias Lennox wanted to follow. "Junior Sister, I’ll just come along to get familiar with the way..."

"You can’t leave yet. I have a training plan for you that needs to be completed today," Flynn Morgan replied immediately. He was on a mission: keep an eye on this senior brother and not let him interfere with his master’s pursuit of a wife.

Elias Lennox was taken aback, then teased Flynn Morgan, "You guys work fast."

For the next few days, Elias Lennox’s schedule was completely filled with training, aside from mealtimes.

So, he took advantage of a meal break to take a taxi straight to Arcadian University.

"Eldest Junior Sister, where are you? I’m at your university’s gate."

Aurora Sinclair, who was on her way to the physics lab, stopped in her tracks and glanced at her phone in confusion.

’I don’t think I gave him my number, did I?’

"Which gate?"

"The south gate." Elias Lennox flashed an eight-toothed smile at a girl standing nearby.

The girl’s face instantly turned red.

Elias Lennox’s appearance attracted a huge crowd of girls. By the time Aurora Sinclair arrived with her backpack on, he was already surrounded.

His face was simply captivating. Not only was he of mixed heritage, but his smile was so radiant that it made people like him at first sight.

"Eldest Junior Sister, over here—"

When the crowd saw Aurora Sinclair, they were instantly filled with envy.

That very day, a handsome, mixed-race guy was added to the list of men in Aurora Sinclair’s "harem" on the Arcadian University forums.

[An Exposé on the Men of Arcadian University’s Campus Belle: Is She a Female "King of the Seas" Thanks to Her Beauty?]

After reading it, Eve Lowell was extremely pleased. She looked up at Justine Archer, who was standing in front of her. "Nice article. There’s a party on Saturday, come with me."

"Thank you, Eve." Justine Archer’s face was filled with gratitude. ’I can finally get into a high-society party!’

To curry favor with this young miss, she had spent quite a bit of money buying negative posts about Aurora Sinclair.

Although most of them would be deleted, her goal was achieved as long as it made the young miss happy.

"Come on, I’ll treat you to a meal."

Justine Archer was overwhelmed by the favor. This young miss never ate in the cafeteria; the Lowell Family’s butler always delivered her meals personally.

The two had just walked out of the academic building when their class’s teaching assistant came running over in a panic. "Eve, hurry to the dean’s office! He needs to see you."

***

The dean of the School of Business Administration was a stern old man who wouldn’t summon a student lightly. If he did, it was always for something important.

"Eve, the nominations from the base commander for the military academy are out. You and Aurora Sinclair are both going. This is a tremendous honor! All the universities in Kingsford only have ten spots in total, and to think Arcadian University took two of them—both girls, no less! HA HA HA..."

Eve Lowell wasn’t nearly as happy as he was. Her hands, hanging at her sides, suddenly clenched the fabric of her clothes. Suppressing the displeasure she felt over Aurora Sinclair’s acceptance, she asked with a smile, "Didn’t Aurora Sinclair not have a recommendation?"

"The base commander didn’t recommend her, but a major from the Marine Corps personally wrote a letter of recommendation for her. He even said Aurora Sinclair is a rare talent who must be handed over to the country. HA HA HA... The Academy of History really lucked out..."

The smile on Eve Lowell’s face froze for a moment.

Shortly after, the university’s official website suddenly published an announcement:

[Congratulations to our students Aurora Sinclair and Eve Lowell for securing guaranteed admission to the Veridia Military Academy.]

This news immediately became the top headline on the Arcadian University forums.

The Veridia Military Academy was notoriously difficult to get into. Even members of the Great Families had to be recommended by a base commander and then pass through multiple rounds of selection. Furthermore, because female students were generally considered to have a weaker Constitution, it was exceedingly rare for them to be chosen.

Aurora Sinclair and Eve Lowell’s selection this time was a huge point of pride for the female students.

[Congrats! They’ve really brought honor to us girls.]

[I have to say, the girls were amazing this time. I heard there are only 10 spots for all the universities in Kingsford, and even Kingsford University got none. But we got two!]

[Noble ladies from good families who also work hard deserve our full support.]

[Huge news! Do all the smart and beautiful people have to be handed over to the country?]

...

Aurora Sinclair never read the forums, so she was naturally unaware of the news online. At that moment, she was eating with Elias Lennox in the campus cafeteria, attracting a ton of attention.

"Aurora Sinclair, congratulations! You got a guaranteed spot at the military academy!" Tess Thorne had tracked her down by following the gossip threads about her on the forum.

"Huh?" Aurora Sinclair looked completely bewildered.

"Dean Archer has called you several times. Hurry up and go to her office."

Aurora Sinclair finally pulled out her silenced phone and saw over a dozen missed calls. She immediately stood up and said to Elias Lennox, "Senior Brother, I have to go."

Elias Lennox smiled and waved at her. "You have to treat your senior brother to a feast next time."

Aurora Sinclair nodded.

After she left, Elias Lennox suddenly glanced toward a certain corner, the smile on his lips widening.

***

Elsewhere, Dean Morgan’s heart skipped a beat. ’Have I been discovered?’

As Elias Lennox walked out of the campus gates and through a small alley, he called out loudly, "Come on out! You’ve been following me this whole time. Aren’t you tired?"

Dean Morgan slowly walked out, his fists gathering Power.

Elias Lennox leaned against the wall and smiled. "Sir, why are you following me?"

A severe look appeared on Dean Morgan’s wooden face. "What is your purpose for getting close to Aurora Sinclair?"

"I simply wanted to see my junior sister."

"Why did you hack into the system to change your information?"

Elias Lennox paused, then laughed. "You even know about that? Is Veridia’s communications network that good?"

He was originally supposed to go to Team PL, but he hacked directly into the EM Group’s system and changed his assignment.

"Who are you, really?"

A brilliant smile spread across Elias Lennox’s handsome face.

"I’m Aurora Sinclair’s senior brother!"

***

Far away at the EM Group Headquarters in Arcadia, Jared Miles suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

He frowned and immediately hit the decline button.

But the phone rang again a moment later, persistent.

This time, Jared Miles swiped to answer, only to hear a shout from the other end. "Eldest Senior Brother, help me! It’s me, Elias Lennox..."

"Elias Lennox?" Jared Miles said, puzzled.

He was the nephew of their grandmaster. They had met a few times before at the International Martial Alliance. The kid fooled around all day and didn’t like to practice martial arts, which was a huge headache for their grandmaster.

"I’ve been kidnapped in Veridia..."

After hearing the whole story, Jared Miles’s expression darkened instantly. He gritted his teeth. "Elias Lennox, you dared to hack the EM Group’s system?"

"Senior Brother, that’s not important! Just hurry up and prove that I’m Aurora’s senior brother."

"I think it’s very important..." Jared Miles said, enunciating each word.

"Senior Brother, I just wanted to see my junior sister, that’s all," Elias Lennox replied pitifully from the small room where he was locked up. But Jared Miles’s stern voice came from the other side.

"Is there someone with you? Put them on the phone."

Dean Morgan cleared his throat twice.

"Lock him up for a few more days. It’ll save him the trouble of stirring up chaos everywhere!"

"..."
