No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1566: The First Stop

Hannah and Wayne Lane stood side by side, waving goodbye to everyone in front of the academy’s gates. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A female student, on good terms with Hannah, pulled her aside to whisper something.

Professor Lawrence also called Wayne Lane over.

It was still morning, the sun had just peeked out a little, and the light wasn’t too dazzling, with layers of white clouds.

The wind rustled the leaves, and Wayne Lane still wore his perpetual, icy expression, his facial features sharp and well-defined, embodying both the flamboyance of youth and the steadiness of a man.

Professor Lawrence placed a hand on Wayne Lane’s shoulder, "You’re already eighteen, an adult now. Take good care of Hannah when you’re outside. She’s strong-willed, and you two are quite alike. Don’t start bickering for the thrill of it; there will be no one to break up your fights out there."

Professor Lawrence understood Hannah’s character.

Although the girl seemed gentle and obedient, she was like a thorn that grew backward, provoking trouble if things went contrary.

Especially with Wayne Lane.

Their temperaments were too similar.

Wayne Lane glanced at Hannah, who was still talking to someone not far away, then averted his gaze and said to Professor Lawrence, "I understand."

Professor Lawrence, with his hands behind his back, slightly turned sideways, his expression growing more solemn.

"There’s also the matter about Hannah’s origins."

The fact that Hannah was a royal princess was a secret to the outside world, known by almost no one except the royal family.

Professor Lawrence had also only recently become aware of this.

But Wayne Lane, being of semi-noble status and having grown up in the royal palace, naturally knew this.

However, he remained silent, quietly listening to Professor Lawrence’s instructions.

"The royal family is unaware of your outgoing training this time. I’ve discussed it with the principal—it’s an exception. The decision is yours."

The royal family had always monitored Hannah’s performance at the Mecha Academy. She could be excellent, but not a genius, nor could she display excessive talent.

This was why Hannah had always deliberately concealed her abilities.

Both the old principal and Professor Lawrence knew and cherished her talent, and didn’t want the Mecha Academy involved in power struggles, so they had always secretly helped suppress these matters.

Wayne Lane wasn’t very familiar with this, but he could somewhat guess Professor Lawrence’s intention, "Don’t worry, I won’t disclose this matter."

Professor Lawrence nodded, saying no more, "It’s almost time. Hurry and depart with Hannah. Your tickets have also been prepared."

"Okay."

Wayne Lane walked over to wait for Hannah.

After saying goodbye to a few female students, Hannah turned back to look at Professor Lawrence, who was smiling so broadly his eyes were nearly shut.

"Professor, I’m leaving."

Professor Lawrence waved his hand, "Go on, it’s good for you to explore the world more now that you’re grown up."

Hannah took a deep breath and walked over to Wayne Lane.

After saying their final goodbyes, Hannah and Wayne Lane set off.

Their first destination was Bruce.

A planet with the largest underground auction house in the entire star system.

Hannah and Wayne Lane were there to complete a rather straightforward mission assigned by the academy.

To bid on a Dream Ling flower at the auction.

The Dream Ling flower, a basic auction item with a modest price, was mostly bought by rich young ladies for decoration.

Bruce was a planet of chaos and diversity, inhabited by people from various places with a vast disparity between the rich and the poor, worlds apart.
