They didn’t care what method they used. All they wanted was to protect Stelladom Academy’s reputation.
As for the students, they couldn’t think of any other way. They would protect the school even if it came at the price of human lives.
“What are you doing?” Freton asked impatiently.
“Nothing. We just hope you can consider the future of Stelladom Academy and don’t do anything reckless.”
“Stelladom Academy deserves a great future. If our reputation is ruined, all our efforts will go to waste!”
“…”
Several people tried to persuade Freton.
They were all colleagues that had been working together for many years. Therefore, they wanted to give him some friendly advice.
“Ha! Do you really think a school filled with lies will have a beautiful future? There will only be more lies!” Freton smirked.
When he pointed out the hypocrisy, his colleagues felt attacked.
Finally!
One of them couldn’t stand it anymore. “I think Freton has his own agenda!
“Maybe he’s the one who misled the Baih family and turned them against Stelladom Academy. That was why they were so cruel to our students!
“Only one of our teachers could recognize a former student of Stelladom Academy. I suspect Freton!”
With someone taking the lead, many others chimed in and started blaming Freton.
His fate was set.
He didn’t want to conform and follow the others blindly. When he started talking, he was bound to become cannon fodder. He couldn’t change anything now.
“Mr. Sket, you were never going to let me leave, were you? I hope you’ll remember what you did.” Freton smirked and closed his eyes.

He had given up on these people and the academy. He grunted a little and stopped breathing. He would rather end his own life than wait for them to kill him.
He had committed suicide.
His death didn’t change anything though.
The discussion resumed. They were even going to use Freton’s death for their own benefit.
“Bring those people in,” said Eman.
Those people. He was referring to the moles who had been kicked out by Emperor Baih.
There were over a hundred of them. Eman had them wait outside. Once they reached a conclusion, he would take action.
“Why are we bringing them here?”
“Are we going to do it here?”
“No, we can’t…”
“Even if we’re sacrificing them for Stelladom Academy, we aren’t supposed to be the executioners!”
“…”
The older teachers immediately saw through Eman’s scheme.
He wanted to make everybody a sinner!
That way, no one would reveal the secret.
It was the right way of thinking, but the teachers couldn’t accept it.
They had taught some of those students before, and they couldn’t bring themselves to execute them.
Moreover, once they did it, they wouldn’t be able to break free.
“Are you just going to stand there and watch? Weren’t they killed by Elixir School and the Baih family? What does it have anything to do with Stelladom Academy and us?” Eman said indifferently.
Seeing that the others were still hesitating, he changed his attitude. His expression became serious.
“I’d like to remind you how Freton died. If you refuse to do anything, you’ll end up like him.
“If you want to protect Stelladom Academy and keep your current status, my way is the only way.
“Didn’t you agree to it earlier? It’s too late to regret it now!”
‘Continue reading on NovelBin’,
The teachers’ expressions twisted.
Were they really going to execute the students?
They could make the decisions, but killing people was another story.
However, Eman was so persistent that the teachers didn’t know what to do.
“Sir, what are you talking about?” one of the students asked in bewilderment.
“We were your moles in the Baih family, and you’re going to kill us now?”
“Sir, are you really going to do that? I took your course two years ago!”
“…”
The students had already lost their abilities. They were filled with despair when they heard they were going to die.
They thought by coming back to Stelladom Academy, they had survived a massacre, but they had, in fact, walked into a death trap.
Why was this happening?
They couldn’t understand it.
They pleaded with their teachers even when they didn’t know what they had done wrong.
“Mr. Sket, did they hear everything?” one of the teachers asked in disbelief.
They realized the students had heard the conversation, during which they had said yes to executing them.
“Yes, they were in the room next door and heard everything. Now it’s up to you.” Eman smiled.
As long as he could reach his goal, he didn’t care what means he had to use. He would trade the stability of Stelladom Academy for these students’ lives.
What a sweet deal!
Eman left the conference room.
He didn’t need to be here anymore because he already knew what would happen.
Linas and Juras walked out after him.
When they closed the door behind him, the smell of blood came out from inside. None of them paid any attention to it.
“What on earth happened?” Linas and Juras asked.
“We underestimated Viive!” Eman explained to them.
