Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 1035: IUD-Chapter 1030 Could It Be Jealousy

Aleister did not hand the Battle Suit over to Fang Li immediately.

“After all, this is an irreplaceable product of cutting-edge technology, essentially a concentrated embodiment of all Academy City tech,” The mechanical voice had stated.

“It is currently under strict management and protection above Level 5, frozen deep underground. It will need to be unlocked, and once the freeze procedure is complete after some time, it will naturally be delivered to you.”

That was already not a bad outcome, was it?

He hadn’t even been assigned the work yet and was already receiving a substantial reward, definitely a good deal.

Of course, this didn’t mean Aleister trusted Fang Li.

Perhaps the Battle Suit wasn’t actually frozen; maybe Aleister just needed time to tamper with it before handing it over.

When dealing with a Superintendent who left no possibility uncalculated and relied on instruments for every decision, such precautions were entirely understandable.

Therefore, Fang Li had already decided: no matter what, once the Battle Suit was in his hands, he would conduct a full inspection.

With the Main God’s Dimension functionality, if any meddling had been done, its messages would immediately be relayed to Fang Li, leaving him no reason to worry.

A few days later, Fang Li finally managed to tell Sylvia about the whole incident.

“So, it was completely exposed after all?”

Sylvia’s voice came from the other end of the cell phone, calm as ever.

She had been too busy preparing for her next concert to talk properly.

Her tone carried little concern.

“Honestly, for someone like you, who does as you please, to hide something for a whole year is already impressive.”

Her teasing tone made Fang Li, standing on the balcony and talking on his cell phone, feel helpless.

“You make it sound like I’m reckless,” Fang Li protested.

“If I really didn’t care at all, it would have been exposed a year ago, not today.”

“But if it were necessary, you wouldn’t hesitate, would you?”

Sylvia’s voice, half-smile, half-serious, pierced straight to Fang Li’s essence.

“Once you decide not to hide it, no matter how strong the reason to conceal it is, you won’t restrain yourself, right?”

Fang Li was instantly speechless.

Sylvia was correct.

He hid things because he thought it necessary.

But if one day he no longer wished to hide, he would act on his own desires, regardless of any practical need for concealment.

Sylvia, seeing this so clearly, left him utterly silent.

“Usually calm and decisive, yet sometimes reckless enough to make others tremble, that’s you.”

She chuckled lightly.

“But such a lifestyle is truly free and spontaneous. Perhaps it’s exactly why I’m drawn to you?”

After all, this Diva Princess also lived freely and openly, enjoying the feeling of being unrestrained.

Still, the way she phrased it sounded exactly like she was teasing him.

“Forget it,” Fang Li muttered, pouting slightly.

“Anyway, our affairs are mostly settled. At this point, whatever Aleister wants to do won’t affect us much.”

At least, regarding his progressing Main Quest, Aleister had no control.

Now, Fang Li was only one original Magic Path book away from completing Main Quest Two.

Sylvia’s side was also going smoothly; once the concert ended, she could collect the last ley line’s power, fulfilling the requirements for Main Quest One.

“Originally, the company wanted to continue the tour, but I’ve already told them: after this show, I’m going back,” Sylvia said, her tone uncharacteristically stubborn.

“I haven’t been back to Academy City for about half a year, always flying around the world. This time, I’m definitely taking a long break!”

Just saying that, Sylvia had to be clenching her fist on the other end of the phone, right?

This made Fang Li smile.

“Feels like you’ve completely gone back to the time of the School Festival,” Fang Li said, laughing despite himself.

“Back then, you were just like now, ignoring the work schedule, insisting on taking a vacation, right?”

“What’s the big deal? Even idols need a break!” Sylvia argued.

“Besides, isn’t Academy City about to hold the Daihasei Festival? I’ve been waiting for that for ages!”

It seemed the world’s top famous idol had already made up her mind to return.

Right now, her company must be panicking over this Diva Princess’s whims.

With Sylvia’s current popularity and fame, skipping even a single event could cost hundreds of millions.

Unless the company was a world-dominating entity like the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, any enterprise would feel that financial pain.

But since Sylvia had made her decision, it was essentially set in stone.

Over the past year, thanks to Sylvia, her contracted entertainment company had successfully become the number one global entertainment enterprise, and the company’s chairman had become the world’s richest man.

In this situation, if Sylvia left, the company would instantly collapse back to its original state.

Thus, in this world, Sylvia was truly the master.

The entire company catered to her whims, while other enterprises could only dream of recruiting the world’s number one idol.

Even if Sylvia capriciously canceled all concerts, the company could only helplessly accept it; otherwise, angering the Diva Princess would be disastrous.

At this moment, Fang Li asked directly:

“So, when will your concert end?”

“Shouldn’t take too long,” Sylvia replied with a slight smile.

“In any case, I absolutely will be back before the Daihasei Festival. Remember to wait for me.”

After saying that, Sylvia hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal, Fang Li shrugged, put away his phone, and turned to head back to his room.

“Stare…”

However, inside the room, a silver-haired, gluttonous young girl was holding her cat, staring straight at Fang Li.

“Uh…” Fang Li blinked and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“…Nothing…”

Index replied, but her expression clearly didn’t relax, and she mumbled:

“You really do have a good relationship with that Sylvia, don’t you?”

There was a faint trace of envy in Index’s voice.

Could it be… this girl was jealous?
