98: High School Student 06

Only half a month had passed, but it was enough for some earth-shaking changes.

For example, Edward and Wang KeMing initially blamed themselves when Zong Yan disappeared. Eventually they leaked a bit of information about him.

When the incident was over, there were reports that a senior member of the British royal family had been in danger. Then the world discovered the British king was hospitalized and in ill health.

As crown prince, Edward saw through the smoke and mirrors.

According to rumors, by now the old king was hanging by a thread. Edward's older brother and sister knew he wasn't in the country and began thinking certain thoughts they shouldn't have. They made a concerted effort to get rid of the crown prince.

At that point, the occult world intervened. Because the country of Great Britain was now under martial law, certain forces secretly stepped in and tried to drag Edward back to the United States. If they had their way, Edward wouldn't have been allowed to return until the ashes of the funeral were cold.

But it seemed that Edward somehow found his own way back.

Of course, he faced incredibly difficult circumstances on his arrival. Edward and the Spire Council reached some kind of agreement. Neither Zong Yan nor Wang KeMing were able to contact him, so all they could do was wait anxiously for news.

Aside from that, Zong Yan once again resumed his ordinary high school life on campus.

If you had to point out the biggest difference, it was probably that whenever he walked around the school, an increasing number of students followed him around and came up to him asking him to sign things.

The Internet was crawling with marketing materials about the new special effects-packed Hollywood blockbuster. Everyone firmly believed that Zong Yan was going to shoot a movie after graduation and become the next person to break into Hollywood. They all wanted to get the autograph of the future superstar.

Zong Yan: ...

These days Zong Yan was busy. He reported to his superiors, and then the American side sent a film crew and said they wanted to shoot the posters. As soon as he went back to school, he was running all over Jiangzhou shooting on location.

The movie couldn't be delayed. It was February now, and after Zong Yan finished the college entrance exam in the first week of June, he had to join the movie set immediately. They said the supporting actors had already begun to film. When the time came, all he had to do was shoot his own scenes.

But that wasn't all. After he finished verifying his identity with MU, he also had to return to the Dragon Group in China.

And this time He Yuan and Si Yan were especially irate. The latter had always been bad-tempered, but now even He Yuan, a pleasant-natured man who liked to smile, revealed his anger.

"I know you have ability and a terrifying level of talent, but you're still a kid." He gazed steadily at Zong Yan for a long time. In the end he couldn't say much about Zong Yan's behavior and just let out a sigh. "If you're going to do something dangerous, you have to tell us."

Zong Yan wasn't sure exactly how the Lord of the Gate had tampered with reality. The entire occult world knew Zong Yan possessed staggering abilities, the kind that were powerful enough to tear an Elder God apart.

But the Lord of Time and Space's distorted reality was in force. Not a single person went after Zong Yan or even treated him with fear.

Such an incredible amount of power would normally inspire suspicion, wariness, and intense surveillance. It wouldn't end just with drawing his blood like in MU. They'd try to perform experiments on him.
