Exen lowered his eyes indifferently and looked at her slightly.
There was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Jacob on the side smiled wistfully, folded his arms, and looked like he was watching a good show.
Victoria bit her lip, gathered her courage, and said another sentence. “I did it… because of you.”
“Your karate,” Exen suddenly interrupted her, his eyes cold. “You have learned a little bit about karate, but there is no essence.”
is comment undoubtedly caused Victoria’s heart to freeze.
Her face turned slightly white, her mouth opened, and for a moment, she did not know what to say.
“Compared to your opponent, you are so much worse.” Exen suddenly mentioned Charlotte as he said meaningfully, “You and she are not on the same level.”
These words were said in a way that could be described as humiliating.
Victoria pinched her fingers tightly, her fingertips trembling.
She originally thought that Exen would be impressed with her because of the karate competition, but she did not expect…
“Learning karate shouldn’t be for others, but for yourself.” Exen looked at her with cold eyes, and after saying that, he directly turned around and walked away.
Jacob couldn’t help but shake his head.
As expected of Mr. Lynux!
His mouth was not at all merciful, not at all compassionate.
“Don’t be too sad. This is the kind of person he is. You know…” Jacob couldn’t help but comfort Victoria and then turned his head to follow Exen’s footsteps.
Only Victoria was left standing alone.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her face was white and bloodless.
Once again, her heart was broken by Exen.
The news of the karate finals immediately spread throughout the West Princeton University campus.
In just half a day, almost the entire school knew that-
There was a karate genius in the second year of ordinary Class A. Although she was a white belt, her level was comparable to that of a black belt.
Not only did she beat countless good fighters, but she also beat Victoria of Starlight Class in every aspect.
They should know that Victoria was the second genius on West Princeton’s genius list and a third–degree black belt!
Such a disparity between the weak and the strong was nothing short of dramatic!
It could be said that Charlotte became famous in a single battle!
This girl, who was originally unknown, suddenly became the target of praise from all the teachers and students in the school.
There were even quite a few fanboys and fangirls.
On the other hand, Victoria’s popularity was greatly affected.

Since she had violated the rules and called for a timeout when her opponent was about to win, this matter was also spread around.
People did not expect the super genius of Starlight Class to be a villain with no sportsmanship!
As a result, she was spat upon and reviled by many.
Of course, Charlotte did not know any of this.
At the last minute of the finals, she had decided to abstain for Max’s sake.
At that moment, she hurried back to Greenside Garden.
As she walked towards the side entrance of the campus, an old man with a head full of silver hair suddenly appeared in front of her.
walked with a calm gait and a faint smile on his face, but his eyes sparkled with an essence.
This old man was indeed Master Philip Ryles.
He was very interested in Charlotte.
Therefore, when he heard that she had suddenly renounced her rights, he immediately made up his mind to go and meet this girl
“Young lady, I just watched your fight.” The corner of Mr. Ryles‘ mouth turned up and he said with a smile.
Charlotte lowered her eyes slightly, her expression suspicious.
She did not recognize the old man.
Mr. Ryles continued, “You performed brilliantly, it’s just that—”
The old man furrowed his brow, seemingly puzzled. “Why did you abstain and withdraw from the competition? Apparently, you were so close to
winning the championship…”
Charlotte was confused as to why this old man had suddenly appeared and why he was asking her such a question…
In the past, she would have scorned him.
But perhaps this old man’s eyes were too sincere, and her heart felt as if it had been touched by something.
She said emotionally, “Because there is something more important…”
“I want to protect the most important person.”
After saying that, Charlotte left without looking back.
Her footsteps were in a hurry, and she almost walked out of the side door at an extremely fast speed.
Mr. Ryles stood alone, staring straight at Charlotte’s back.
For a long time.
The corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of a real smile.
Geniuses, most of them were cold–blooded.
But this girl wasn’t, she had a sincere heart.
This was rare.
It seemed like the Starry Sky Training Camp really needed to bring in fresh blood.
Charlotte had driven herself back to Greenside Garden.
From the angle of the gate, the buildings of the residence were all bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were covered in a faint layer of

golden light.
It was very quiet and there was nothing unusual about it.
Charlotte closed her eyes slightly.
She was praying.
Max had better be okay.
Since the opponent was a person of Rye’s caliber, Charlotte did not send her subordinates from Dark Night and was willing to go there herself.
Of course, not as Charlotte.
e looked at the black clothes in the back seat of the car and took them over to change into them.
A black dress, black pants, a pair of black boots, nice and shiny.
The large black hood covered most of Charlotte’s head, and the black mask covered the lower half of her face.
It was Killer Zero’s costume.
Charlotte was preparing to return to Greenside Garden as Killer Zero.
Only then would she be able to save Max legitimately.
Instead of entering through the front door, she stepped on the wall.
It was like she was flying over it.
With ghostly speed, she scurried into the halls of the vicinity.
Everything was as usual.
The servants were also working in an orderly manner.
But she understood that Rye was killing people invisibly.
If he really struck out, he would never cause too much commotion.
Therefore, the entire Greenside Garden remained calm.
Charlotte hurried back to the second floor and opened the door to Max’s bedroom.
The door was not locked.
So, she pushed it open easily.
Inside, it was empty.
All the furniture, the objects, were placed as they were, meticulously.
Charlotte’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Where the hell was Max?
Even if something really happened, there should be traces.
After leaving the bedroom, Charlotte went straight to the study!
She turned the doorknob.
The study was locked!
A bad feeling arose in Charlotte’s heart.

Fortunately, she had a way to unlock it.
Charlotte had her own special unlocking method.
No matter how difficult the lock was or how high–tech it was, she could unlock it.
It took almost only a few seconds to open the lock.
Charlotte pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Unexpectedly, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
The man was dressed all in black, with a slender figure.
his face was a dark mask.
It made it impossible for Charlotte to see his features.
But she knew who he was.
Rumor had it that when Rye went out, he liked to wear a piece of dark mask on his face.
Therefore, no one knew exactly what he looked like.
The man before her was Rye Dixon!
The man also noticed Charlotte, and he turned his head, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
