“The senior members from the Metropolis City Academy of Sciences are coming to Nova University to hold an academic symposium, and they’ve asked me to attend.”Joseph answered directly.“A symposium at a time like this? There’s barely more than a week left before the New Year.”Mason Alvarez sounded puzzled.“On the surface, it’s an academic symposium. In reality, they have something important to discuss with me.”Joseph added.“I see.”“In that case, it makes sense.”Mason Alvarez nodded in understanding.“I was taught by them when I was young. They are not only my seniors—they are my teachers.”“After learning about my situation, they want to find a way to lend me their support.”Joseph continued.“That’s a good thing!”“No wonder a great master produces brilliant students.”“I finally understand why Mr. Wilson is so exceptional.”“It turns out his teachers are all at least academy-level scholars.”Mason Alvarez said with a sigh of admiration.“When exactly is it?”Alice asked.“I do

“As for that… I’m not entirely sure myself.”“Let’s put it this way—they’re using an academic symposium as a pretext. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”Geoffrey Harris said tactfully.“They want to discuss… other academic matters with me?”Joseph began to grasp the implication.“Yes, exactly.”“Some things aren’t convenient to say outright—we both understand well enough.”“As for the specifics, Professor Gerald Ortiz will explain them to you. It’s not something I can discuss on my end.”“I called to let you know that I’ve already agreed to it. What comes next will depend on you.”Geoffrey Harris continued.“Thank you, Principal. I understand.”Joseph expressed his gratitude.“Mr. Wilson, you’re being too polite.”“At first, we didn’t know who you truly were. Now that we do, Nova University will stand firmly behind you.”“Our institution has always placed the nation’s interests above all else. Your mentor, General Eugene Wilson, is a pillar of this country. He deserves greater su

“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you? Who told you to put me through that—hmph!”Heidi huffed indignantly.“Alright, time to get up.”Joseph glanced at the time and spoke calmly.“You go first. Check what it’s like outside, then I’ll come out.”A hint of shyness colored Heidi’s voice.“Didn’t you say you’d already talked it through with them?”Joseph asked.“We did talk it through, but it’s still embarrassing. You think I’m like you, with skin thick as armor?”Heidi retorted with a coquettish snort.“Think about what happened last night—between the two of us, who’s really the shameless one?”Joseph was at a loss for words. Women, as a species, truly excel at turning the tables.“Oh, get lost. It’s you—you’re the shameless one.”“Come on, hurry up. You’re so annoying. You go out first.”Heidi pleaded.“Fine, I’ll go.”Left with no choice, Joseph got dressed and stepped out.At that hour, Alice and Mason Alvarez didn’t seem to be awake yet.During the holiday break, sleeping in a littl

“No need. I’ll see myself out.”Joseph declined politely.Even so, Brian Adams insisted on accompanying him.After leaving the Night Rose Nightclub, Joseph headed straight home.Though the meeting itself had been brief, the journey had taken up most of the time.By the time he returned, it was already past ten.Alice, Mason Alvarez, and Heidi were nowhere to be seen in the living room. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have gone to bed this early.Joseph found it a little odd, but assumed they were each in their own rooms.He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.At last, the day’s affairs had come to an end.For the first time, he could finally pause and rest.After a quick wash, Joseph returned to his room.The moment he switched on the light, he froze.There was a woman lying on his bed.It was Heidi.She appeared to be asleep, and Joseph felt a twinge of helpless amusement.This girl was truly bold.“Heidi?”He called softly.“Mm? What is it?”She opened her eyes
Chapter 1008
“According to my master’s letter, Dale Jimenez is not our enemy—he’s one of us.”“He’s a piece my master placed on the board.”Joseph explained.“What?”Neil Foster and Brian Adams shot to their feet at the same time, stunned.“At first, I found it unbelievable as well. But the brilliance of my master’s designs is beyond our imagination.”“Even in those circumstances, he still managed to set something like this in motion.”Joseph said, not without admiration.“Dale Jimenez is one of our own.”“This move strikes directly at the lifeblood of the three elders of the Central Council.”“After all, Dale Jimenez was the very man they elevated—firmly seated for years as the commander of the Southern Frontier.”“Those three old fools in the Central Council would never have imagined that the man they so carefully selected was, in fact, the general’s.”Neil Foster said with a sigh. Extraordinary men accomplished extraordinary things—this was precisely why they had chosen to follow Eugene Wilson.

“Whether I’ve been worn out or not—you would know, wouldn’t you?”Joseph shot back.“For now, maybe not. But who can say about the future?”“Isn’t there a saying? The field never gets worn out—only the ox does.”Heidi replied, looking quite pleased with her own wisdom.“I didn’t realize you knew so much.”Joseph gave a wry smile.“Of course I do. I may not have had a boyfriend before, but just because I haven’t tasted pork doesn’t mean I haven’t seen pigs run.”She lifted her chin slightly, a hint of playful pride in her tone.“So, have you tasted pork now?”Joseph asked.“Heh… what do you think?”Heidi smiled slyly, her meaning unmistakable.Joseph could only shake his head. These three women—each one more beguiling than the last.“By the way, what would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll cook for you.”Heidi said.“You? Cooking yourself?”Joseph raised a brow, surprised.“Of course. I adore you, don’t I? You’ve just come back from such a long journey—I’ll make you a proper meal.”She
