[A couple of minutes ago]
"Don’t force yourself too hard. Cheat when you see any opportunity to cheat, but don’t let aice, okay?”
“What do you mea? My so o cheat to achieve his goal.”
“Ugh, the art of cheating on a test is also part of an important life skill, you know! You’re strong and do anything, so you won’t uand, Momo.”
“How you say that when you’re strong yourself? Did you cheat your way to the top?”
“I cheat all the time.”
“Hmm, you defeating me was kinda cheating indeed. So did you defeat me or not, Bunny?”
“I did~ You eventually gave up, right?”
“Ugh, stop with the flirting Mama, Papa…” Yvain scratched his earlobe, tired of the two’s bickering.
“Fine,” Burn sighed. “Your Mama told you to cheat because she wants you to use your brain. Use the most effective method, the easiest path for you. But when you see the opportunity to get stroake it instead of using the safer path.”
“Are you telling him to get in danger?” Man gasped.
“I’m telling him to be a man,” Burn said.
Yvain sighed. Not only did they tradict each other, they also tradict themselves. Yvain couldn’t uand what they wanted from him… these two masters of him.
But, well, everything they said makes sense in one way or another.
“Evan di Sator!”
The three raised their faces.
“Go on,” Burn said, and Yvain nodded befoing to fetch his test number.
The boy, dressed ly in an expensive and elegant garment with the Sator Family’s brooch emblem on his colr, immediately gartention.
They had been quite the ter of attention for a while. Just from their looks alohey were enough to make heads turn, especially Man Le Fay—no, the bck-haired hottie with a sexy beauty mark below the outer er of her right eye.
Just like Burn said, Man with bck hair looked like the personalization of aic fever dream. An angel, yes, but fallen, with a body made for sin that could practically her the succubus queen.
She thought that adding a mark as an imperfe would lessen her beauty just a little bit, but no, oh no. It was almost a symbolic mark of sin, a taint atop the vas of innoce. She was an angel no more, and her being was the embodiment of tarnished purity.
As usual, people looked at her, almost too btantly.
But when they came to their sehey saw the man beside her—dread. Immi doom. Absolute devastation. What was a literal god of judgment aernal punishment doing on the nd of man?
Burn turned on all his seo the maximum capacity. He noted every pair of eyes that stared for too long at her and turo stare back at them with plete annihition in his mind.
That was why, even though there was otion around them, they mao stand unbothered, without anyone daring to disturb their regal air.
Yvaiuro them after a while, his face all smiles. “I got the hankfully we still squeeze in…”
“Of course! Your Papa bribed them,” Man chuckled.
“Papa did well!” Yvain beamed.
The entraest partits were required to apply at least 2 weeks before the test, after all, but there was nothing money couldn’t solve. That was also the reason Yvain just got the partit number now.
337.
It was the number in his hand.
“Not that many applits this year,” Burn muttered.
Burhat him deg war a couple of months ago and then deg to postpone tinuing it had something to do with it, in various ways. Some of his ministers sulted him about their children who were studying abroad, and he gave them choices on how to deal with it.
“They said I’m the st,” Yvain said.
“A clutch,” Man smiled. “Be careful, okay?”
“Okay, Mama!”
The entrance exam was starting, and Yvain waved his haedly. Man, of course, waved back, while Burn just stood there, her other arm linked with his.
“Evan! Remember what I told you?” Burn asked before the boy left.
Yvain rolled his eyes. “Ugh, fine, Papa!”
The boy seemed to have grown fond of calling them Mama and Papa now, despite his initial awkwardness just a couple of days earlier. After she finished waving, Man turo him and asked, “What did you tell him?”
“To not use his Vision in the academy,” Burn replied.
"HUH?!" Man was so shocked that her wide-brimmed hat almost fell off.
“Why? He pass without it,” Burn reassured her. “And he’s close to awakening his Force. Maybe his time here will help him.”
“B-but I heard the entraest in this academy is dangerous!” Man expressed her worries.
“Don’t worry. No matter what they do, they won't let it get too dangerous. There are a lot of iial people’s children here. Including our son,” Burn said with a smile.
Even undercover, Burn would never risk letting ao step over them. That was why he chose to use the Sator family.
“That, and I told him if he pass the entraest without using Vision, I will give him a reward,” Burn tinued.
Man sighed. “What did you promise him?”
“Let’s see…—”
“Oh, how pleasant to meet you here, Sir and Madam Sator!” Bir said with a warm smile.
Finally, the crowd started to move. They had been waiting for a ce since hearing Yvain’s fake name. One person braved to greet them, others followed suit.
“ologize for nnizing you!”
“We had no idea your son was enrolling in this school too! What a wonderful opportunity for our son to befriend Young Sir Sator.”
“What a delightful surprise!”
If their children couldn’t pass the entrance exam, at least they could fe es with the elusive Sator family. It was indeed a wise decision to make the trip here.
It was revealed that Burn had acquired the Sator family’s business just befabriel di Sator passed away. The old man had no sons, and the Sator Mert Group was not as promihen as it is today.
It was the Round Table's members and Burn's spies who primarily mahe business, exerting trol behind the ses. Eventually, rumors circuted about a mysterious heir withior family.
The rise of the Sator Mert Group over the years was mainly due to Soulnaught's efforts, serving as their base for discreet operations. Even those who aided in smuggling Burn into Wintersin to searan were lio the Sator Mert Group.
Oh, the grarance as part of the Sator family must have really shaken up the Inkia capital. Look at all these unfamiliar faces greeting them now, some with a hint of influen the ti.
Maybe they had piqued the i of the big shots, but these folks crowding around them were nothing but small potatoes.
Burn didn’t have time for this.
“Mom, you did promise t me shopping today, didn’t you?” Man whined suddenly.
Burn's eyes narrowed. With a smirk pying on his lips, he said, “Absolutely. Gentlemen, my sincere apologies, but I am obliged to keep my promise to my dear Madam today. Lord Wilderwood is hosti his grand abode in the capital. Feel free to visit if you need something."
With this, the information that they were with Finn would spread, and the big fishes would also go to find him. Finn would surely know what to do with them. After all, he was in dire need of e now—to take over the kingdom.
