Chapter 21 Hello, Master 

Even though he was gazing at her wrist instead of making eye contact, Milly still felt a twinge of 

discomfort. 

Unable to bear it, she quickly pulled down her sleeve to conceal the bracelet. 

“Do you …” 

Before Milly could finish her sentence, she witnessed the man’s haughty expression transform into shock, and the eyes that met hers were filled with fear. 

Then, to her surprise, he bowed deeply in her direction. 

“Hello, Master. 

“Goodbye, Master.”

By the time Milly processed what had just happened, the individual had already vanished. 

The woman beside her observed his sudden departure and attempted to call out loudly to detain him. Young man, do you still want your shaved ice?” 

However, Pink Hair was nowhere to be seen. 

Milly glanced down at the bracelet on her wrist, pondering whether the man’s peculiar behaviour was linked to the bracelet. Could it be that this bracelet harbours a hidden secret? 

Nevertheless, after scrutinising it carefully for some time, she could not discern any enigmas. It appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary silver bracelet. 

That man must be out of his mind! 

Meanwhile, Pink Hair hurried to the depths of the alley. He ensured he was at a safe distance before finally relaxing. 

Leaning against the wall, he took several deep breaths. 

Subsequently, with trembling hands, he retrieved a black phone from the pocket of his neon–green leather jacket, unlocked it, and dialed a number. 

The phone rang for a moment before someone answered. 

“Oliver, you’d better have a good reason for calling me at this hour. If you’re just babbling nonsense, I swear I’ll end you!” 

Pink Hair, also known as Oliver disregarded the threat on the other end of the line, panting as he spoke, “Hey, listen up. I saw the new sect leader!” 

There was a brief silence on the other end. 

“It’s midnight here in Maldonia. Is it also midnight where you are? Are you suggesting that the spirit of the

Oliver stomped his foot in frustration. “Hey! Watch your words, lest the sect leader decide to pay you a visit. I’m talking about the new sect leader! I saw her with my own eyes. I couldn’t have mistaken the bracelet. 

“But what bailles me is that the new sect leader is actually a high school student.” 

Another pause ensued on the phone. 

After a moment, a clicking sound was heard, as if a lighter had been ignited. 

“Are you absolutely certain you didn’t make an error?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“What do you take me for? The bracelet was right in front of me. I wouldn’t risk getting expelled from the Ghost Sect by making a mistake!” Oliver retorted angrily. 

“Understood. I’ll be back in the country soon. We’ll discuss this further when we meet.” 

.40. 

It seemed that the individual on the other end of the line could sense Oliver’s hesitation, so he didn’t hang up but inquired further. “What? Is something else bothering you?” 

Oliver gulped nervously and cautiously said, “I didn’t realise she was the sect leader earlier, so I was a bit… disrespectful. Do you think I’m in danger of being punished? 

“Sob. I still have a lot to accomplish in my career. I’m not ready to meet my dernise just yet. 

“If the worst happens, remember to get me a nice little urn. I hate metal ones. I want a ceramic one with flowers on it, but not roses, Roses are so cliche, and they don’t suit my style-” 

Before he could finish, the call had already been disconnected. 

Crestwood High’s efficiency was remarkable, as the results were announced the following morning. 

However, it wasn’t their homeroom teacher, Anna, who entered to deliver the news, but the principal, who beamed like a sunflower. 

He held a piece of paper, stood on the platform with a smile, and cleared his throat before saying. “Ahem, students, this time, class A has made great progress overall. The average score has increased from 680 points in the last exam to 705 points. This is a significant improvement!” 

As soon as this was said, the whole class erupted in excitement. 

The exam was particularly challenging this time, and they had managed to have a breakthrough, which was a first for them. 

“One student performed exceptionally well this time, scoring full marks in three subjects and only losing five points in English. She achieved a total score of 745, securing the top spot in the grade!” 

After the principal finished speaking, everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards Anthony in the back

Anthony furrowed his brow. He knew it wasn’t him. He had made a mistake in a math multiple–choice

question, so it couldn’t be a perfect score. Could it be William? 

At that moment, William was also gritting his teeth, knowing he wasn’t in first place either! 

64%B 

He hadn’t completed the final question in integrated science, so a perfect score was out of the question. Anthony has taken the top spot again, humph! 

Their eyes met, and invisible sparks flew. 

On the platform, the principal continued, “Let’s congratulate Milly for scoring 745 points and clinching first place in the grade. Let’s give her a round of applause! 

“Congratulations also to Anthony and William for scoring 735 points and tying for second place in the 

grade.” 

When Milly was answering the questions to hit her targeted scores in the office earlier, I knew her abilities were impressive, but I didn’t anticipate her being even more formidable than I imagined. 

She actually scored 745 points! 

Her achievement meant there would be talk of a new exam prodigy at Crestwood High, and the principal and the entire school would bask in the glory as well. Of course, it was exhilarating news! 

The students below were so astonished that they couldn’t close their mouths.. 

my goodness! Milly has actually scored first place?! 

Math, integrated science, and English–all three subjects with perfect scores. This was too astonishing! 

William had initially thought Anthony was in first place, and he felt a twinge of resentment, but to his surprise, the top spot belonged to his deskmate. He exclaimed, “Wow, you’re incredible!” 

The entire class gazed at Milly with a mix of shock and envy in their eyes, while Milly herself remained composed. 

For her, a doctoral student from a prestigious university, solving high school questions was akin to at skilled player defeating beginners. 

Anthony pursed his lips as he observed Milly, devoid of any sense of defeat for losing the top spot in the grade. Instead, there was a hint of admiration.. 

Perhaps even he was unaware that the emotions in his eyes had shifted from disdain to admiration and respect. 

The principal cheerfully announced the grades and then departed with his hands clasped behind his back. Shortly after, Anna, standing outside the door with a sombre expression, entered with a thick stack of graded exam papers. 

The class had shown significant improvement this time, and it even produced another top student. In theory, she should have been pleased, but it happened to be the student she least expected to excel. Just a few days prior, she had placed a daring bet, so how could she be happy now? 

“Class monitor, come forward and distribute the exam papers. Let’s review the papers in this class first.” 

“Ms. Hills, shouldn’t we address the issue of you saying that I got into Class A through connections before
