Three days later, Ferros Cemetery.
Duke stood before the grave, which had not yet been filled with earth, looking at the coffin slowly lowered into the deep pit. There was no sadness in his eyes. This cheap uncle courted death himself and died, who could he blame?
What he was worried about was Camille's mental state. Now the Ferros Family was already tied to him through interests, providing him with the funds and all resources needed for his research. He only needed to step forward at critical moments or throw a few works onto the market to pick up money.
And in this binding of interests, some personal feelings were also mixed in.
This undoubtedly firmly bound Duke to the Ferros Family's ship. Camille personally strangling her brother might make her go from one extreme to another.
In that case, it would not be good for him or for Ferros.
After attending the funeral, Duke glanced at Dak'er, who was surrounded by many people offering condolences. Dak'er, forcing a smile, dealt with everyone.
Witnessing her Grand Aunt strangle her Grandpa with her own eyes caused an unimaginable impact on this girl's mind.
Duke could feel Dak'er's genuine Terrify of Camille.
He was afraid that one day he would not do well and would follow in his Grandpa's footsteps.
"The more you try to cut it, the more tangled it gets!"
Duke mounted the motorcycle that Arrogance had transformed into, took out a piece of malt candy and put it in his mouth, and after pressing the foot pedal, the Arrogance motorcycle actively roared its engine and drove towards the academy.
Feeling a bit irritable, he decided to go see Jinx, pick her up from school, and buy a big meal to take back and bond with Colin and his daughter.
Change his mood, and if his mood is good, everything will be good.
But if his mood isn't good, then... at the academy gate.
Arrogance stopped behind the academy gate, its kickstand supporting the body, Duke sat sideways on the seat, chewing on malt candy, gazing at the academy gate, lost in thought, contemplating his future plans.
His short-term plans were all completed; the Clockwork 273 armor was successfully created, his magic talent awakened, and even the Iron Man character mission was completed, earning him twenty points of fusion and the Edith smart glasses.
The Edith smart glasses were quite good; although they didn't have a direct satellite connection, their functions were comprehensive enough to help him analyze and handle many things.
There was no need to mention the fusion points again; a quarter of all ability modules were unlocked.
As for wealth, he no longer had to worry; backed by the Ferros Family, wealth was within easy reach, and he hadn't done anything like crazy lottery draws.
Sometimes, drawing lots really can deplete one's luck.
It's better to accumulate for a while and then go for a single, impactful draw.
Ding-dong, ding-a-ling!!
The melodious bell echoed throughout the entire academy; it was dismissal time, and students in academy uniforms, holding books or carrying bags, walked out of the teaching building, laboratory building, and library.
Duke pushed up the smart glasses on his nose, ignored the gazes of the passing students, and focused on searching for his little blue-haired rascal.
But after waiting and waiting, not only did he not see her Shadow, but he also couldn't find any trace of her; students were almost all gone, and Duke still hadn't seen Jinx.
"That's odd, where is she?"
Duke pushed up the smart glasses on his nose, intending to wait a bit longer.
Meanwhile, inside a laboratory in the experimental building.
Two figures, one tall and one short, huddled in front of the experimental bench, whispering over the experimental apparatus before them.
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Jinx held a test tube in her hand, while the fluffy Ziggs impatiently urged, "It's fine, trust me, absolutely safe!!"
"Last time, when we blew up the school's washroom, you also said it was fine!"
"This time it's really safe!"
"The time before last, we shattered the flowerbed in front of the teaching building, and you still said it was fine!"
"Oh, come on, trust me!" Ziggs excitedly rubbed his hands, "If it succeeds, this will definitely be a big surprise!"
Jinx rolled her eyes, tilting the test tube in her hand towards the glass bottle in front of her, "Then I'll trust you one more time!"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe! This is my newest formula, and combined with your creativity, it's sure to succeed!"
