After the school chief's three-member investigation team met up, the next step was to find MU's temporary base of operations in Boston.

"I heard that China's college entrance exam is incredibly important. How long will you be on holiday?"

Edward and Zong Yan were walking side by side.

After the semester, the little prince's face lost much of its elated glow. His temperament had begun to shift towards silence and resolve.

In fact, Zong Yan knew Edward wasn't nearly as naïve as he previously seemed.

The British royal family was one of the few in the world that continued to wield power. But in addition to power, they controlled massive wealth.

The desire for power and riches was the original sin that inspired the worst in humanity.

Edward had grown up in such a royal family. He was experienced in dealing with people, especially when it came to reading them.

Even so, he'd held on to his purity.

Zong Yan appreciated people who were pure. But purity didn't mean simple. It meant having clear goals, living soberly in the world, and preserving a sincere heart.

"Not very long. I'll probably head back a few days after the Spring Festival."

Zong Yan did some calculations and realized the break for New Year's wasn't even a month long.

There was no helping it. After all, it was senior three.

They walked together to the parking lot outside, where a streamlined sports car was parked. A blue and gold shield logo glittered brightly on the hood.

"Wow, cool!"

When he saw the sports car, Zong Yan felt like his straight male aesthetic had bent for a rare moment.

Edward smiled, helped him put his luggage in the trunk, and opened the driver's side door.

The British royal family owned property all over the world, Edward included. Although he looked like an ordinary MU student, he was actually extremely wealthy.

This Koenigsegg was said to be Edward's eighteenth birthday present. After learning the little prince was coming to the United States, the British royal family had shipped over the car from the other side of the Atlantic.

Handsome is as handsome does, and the number of second glances it attracted was very high. But there was one drawback—there were only two seats.

Edward hadn't even thought about it. After all, he thought he was only partnering with Wang KeMing this time.

"Should we call and ask them to change the car?" Edward frowned and pulled out his phone.

"It's okay. We can squeeze in."

Fortunately, the seats were spacious, and Wang KeMing had lost some weight. Zong Yan waved his hand to show it wasn't a problem.

After Wang KeMing and Zong Yan got into the passenger seat, the sports car quietly started up.

"Who's your team leader?"

Zong Yan had directly contacted the Logistics Department of Miskatonic University about his assignment. He was a Monarch, after all. However, considering the fact that the tenth Monarch didn't have any experience carrying out high-level missions, and the fact that the Logistics Department had been threatened by the ninth Monarch, it wasn't clear what kind of task they were going to assign.

"It's Ms. Anastasia."

Anastasia was a senior investigator with Level 4 awakening ability. Among all the senior investigators, her awakening ability was the most mediocre. Everyone in the occult world knew she was unable to progress because of something unknown that happened in her younger days.
