Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 723: IUD-Chapter 720 A Match

Aria had indeed said this before.

However, those words had no persuasive power whatsoever.

The evidence was in Aria’s flushed face, which was as red as boiling water.

So, Fang Li could only smile wryly.

“What are you so desperate to explain? I’m not here to blame you or anything.”

Fang Li’s words left Aria momentarily silent.

Peeking at Fang Li, Aria whispered, “Aren’t you angry?”

“Why would I be angry?” Fang Li glanced at Aria with a faint smile.

“Is it because you didn’t tell me about this?”

“Yes… yes.” Aria averted her gaze and said somewhat awkwardly, “After all, you’re my partner. I really shouldn’t have kept something like this from you.”

As she spoke, Aria suddenly started to defend herself again.

“I-I didn’t tell you about it not because I was intentionally hiding it, but because I completely forgot!”

“That’s right! I forgot! In other words, I didn’t think much of it at all!”

“That’s how it is!”

“After all, I only heard about it from my grandmother once, and her memory is quite muddled. Sometimes she rambles on, so I thought it was just nonsense. Who would have thought it was true!”

“So! It’s definitely not that I was deliberately hiding it from you! Do you understand?!”

The more she spoke, the more agitated Aria became.

“Are?”

Suddenly, Aria’s delicate body trembled slightly, as if feeling dizzy, and she stopped walking.

A faint, vivid blush flickered across her crimson eyes.

“Hmm?”

Noticing something was off, Fang Li turned and looked at Aria, seeing her swaying slightly.

“What happened?”

“No… nothing…”

Aria shook her head, her eyes clearing up as she looked somewhat confused.

“I suddenly felt faint for a moment, but I don’t know why.”

Hearing this, Fang Li frowned and said to Aria, “Maybe you’ve been too tired lately. You should take care of yourself and get some rest.”

It was understandable for Fang Li to think this.

Recently, Aria had been caught up in the struggle over Fang Li, had been preparing for her mother’s case, and had to deal with daily classes and cases.

Among Fang Li’s entire group, she was undoubtedly the busiest.

Moreover, the Far East battle would soon commence.

When that time came, Aria, who had inherited Hidan, would surely be involved and forced to fight.

In that case, she would likely be even more exhausted.

“If you really can’t handle the afternoon’s classes, you should take a leave.” Fang Li suggested.

“After all, you’ve already earned enough credits, haven’t you?”

“Your credits are enough too,” Aria responded with a question.

“Are you planning to go back?”

“I’m not going back.” Fang Li shook his head and said, “My shooting performance has been declining recently, so I plan to practice more.”

“Then I won’t go back either.” Aria immediately replied, “I… my shooting has also been declining recently, so I plan to practice more as well.”

Unfortunately, Aria’s tone sounded a bit strange, making it clear to Fang Li that her statement might not be entirely true.

With a sigh, Fang Li accepted this reality.

—

“You need to look after your own health, you know.” Fang Li said directly.

“If you collapse, your mom will really be in trouble, you know?”

“I… I know.” Aria responded unusually honestly.

“I’ll just go with you and skip the practice.”

‘It would be better to just go back and rest,’ Fang Li thought.

But seeing Aria’s stubborn demeanor, he knew he probably couldn’t change her mind.

So, Fang Li had to compromise.

“Then you can do as you see fit.”

Fang Li left it at that.

“If you collapse, I’ll have Watson take you back to your room.”

“Why Watson?!”

Ignoring Aria’s renewed agitation, Fang Li turned and headed towards the Assault Department building.

Aria immediately followed in a huff, looking as though she was ready to explode, making others keep their distance.

However, Fang Li was serious about this.

“She needs some time to rest.”

With that thought, Fang Li decided to hold off on telling Aria about the Far East Warfare for now.

After all, Aria already had enough on her plate.

“Also Watson…”

Originally, Fang Li had no intention of getting involved in the matter between Watson and Aria.

After all, it was Aria’s engagement, and it should be handled by her.

But seeing Aria’s current state, it was clear that Watson’s troubles might also affect her.

“Looks like I need to take this a bit more seriously…”

…

What Fang Li didn’t expect was that things would escalate faster than he imagined.

The location was the shooting training ground in the basement of the Assault Department building.

Due to it being a professional course, students from all three grades attended together.

The instructor, naturally, was Ranbyou.

However, the Assault Department’s classes were not exclusive to its own students.

At Butei High, students could voluntarily attend courses outside their own specialties.

This is known as elective courses.

Although the grades for these subjects do not count towards credits, many students choose to participate in different subjects to improve their skills, aiming to excel in the diverse techniques required for Butei work.

In the past, Fang Li had also taken various elective courses, which was why he could master so many Butei techniques.

Therefore, besides the students majoring in raid techniques, there were also students who had chosen raid techniques as an elective.

Among these elective students was Watson, resolutely present.

“Are you up for a challenge?”

As the class was about to begin, Watson said to Fang Li, ignoring Aria’s astonished expression, while pulling out a gun.

It was a SIG Sauer P226R, commonly known as SIG.

This type of gun is favored by elite personnel, and highly regarded by the United Kingdom SAS and American SWAT.

It is expensive but reliable, with exceptional accuracy and performance.

Holding such a gun, Watson showed a provocative smile and said, “Beating the ‘Gun Magician’ in a shooting match seems like something worth celebrating, don’t you think?”

The provocative remark made Aria step forward.

But Fang Li held her back.

With all the surrounding students watching and astonished, Fang Li lifted his gaze, looked at Watson, and smiled slightly.

“Then let’s have a match.”

With Fang Li’s words as the starting signal, the surrounding students surged with excitement.
