No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1602: The First One

Even with the situation being so urgent, what they thought about was still that Hannah would become too powerful in the future, so they were eager to eliminate her.

"If the royal family hadn’t been so obstinate back then, this battle could have been avoided," Professor Lawrence stroked his beard, unable to bear watching the departure any longer.

The old principal patted Jay Brown on the shoulder, "I watched Hannah grow up, and with her character, she is definitely not one to kill innocent people recklessly. This battle is inevitable, but please put yourself first when it comes to a critical moment."

To a royal family that capitalizes on the trust of the people and thrusts a group of children to the front lines as a shield, blind loyalty will not bring any honors, only an untimely death.

Jay Brown needed only a moment of thought to understand, and he nodded slightly, "Principal, I understand."

The old principal looked at Jay Brown, as if seeing the willful and vibrant youth and girls from years past. Although their youth had faded, there were still those who remembered their past.

"After reaching the border, please take extra care of the academy students," said the old principal.

Jay Brown nodded, "Rest assured, principal, I will take good care of everyone."

Among the current students of the Mecha Academy, Jay Brown was the most talented and strongest. Although lacking experience, he was stable and calm.

If it really came down to a desperate situation in the future, perhaps he would be the only one who could protect everyone.

At noon, when the sun was at its highest, the students set off.

The city of Mo was unusually bustling that day. Some cursed the royal family for their inaction, for pushing a group of students to the border to be human shields, while others cursed the wanderers.

Cursing those whom the royal family deemed insignificant, yet were able to injure them time and time again.

But regardless, everyone chose to go to the streets to see the students off.

In a corner alley on the other side, Matthew Shaw and Ashley Johnson, finally meeting face to face, were especially excited.

Though it was their first meeting offline, they seemed like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years, speechlessly looking at each other, nearly moved to tears.

"Are you... you’re ’The Commander’s Ex-Wife’?" The first to speak was Ashley Johnson, a man wearing glasses with a tender sensibility.

Although Matthew Shaw looked calm, the hand that held Ashley Johnson’s was shaking uncontrollably, "It’s me, you’re ’Honey-Coated Knife,’ right?"

In the quiet alleyway, the old surrounding walls completely shut out the noise of the street.

Only two men of similar age stood there, with actions and expressions as exaggerated as secret codes.

When they saw confirmation in each other’s eyes, they finally couldn’t resist embracing each other.

"It’s great, we finally meet!"

"I only regret that I met you too late, otherwise we wouldn’t have wasted so much time between us." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Isn’t that the truth? The moment I saw you, I felt a sense of déjà vu, like..."

Like what?

The two pulled apart slightly, still holding hands tightly, tears welling in their eyes, their faces dramatically expressive, and then in unison they said.

"As if we had met in a previous life."

As soon as the words were uttered, an invisible closeness closed in between them once again, their eyes brimming with excited tears.

The beginning of their encounter was actually in Hannah’s live stream room.

They were both loyal fans of Hannah.

Unfortunately, the live streaming platform was temporarily shut down due to external factors.
