The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress-Chapter 147
Chapter 147
They originally did not want to stay in the Elder Council any longer.
But a live broadcast had an unexpected incident, Katherine's identity was exposed, and now there was a chorus of curses against the Elf Race, all denouncing the Elder Council and questioning why they had abandoned Katherine.
All the official explanations were crushed, and it was evident that the clan members were not satisfied with the explanations given by the Elder Council.
The Elders hastily instructed someone to stop Chloe and the others, and then rushed out of the office themselves.
When they finally came before Chloe, what they saw were the five young cubs playing cards together.
They were laughing loudly, slamming down the cards one by one, with ridiculous notes stuck on their faces.
The Elder glared angrily:
"Katherine, how can you still be laughing? Look at what you've done to the Elf Race!"
The sound of card playing stopped, and for a moment, the place was unusually quiet.
For some reason, the Elder belatedly felt a chill down his spine.
Katherine had a note stuck on her forehead, and she restrained the smile on her corners of her mouth as she said slowly:
"You guys never said I wasn't allowed to expose my identity, did you?"
Her tone was calm, and her gaze was also very indifferent.
But the Elder, stared at by such eyes, felt a sense of shame.
They indeed had not said it, but they also did not want Katherine to appear in front of the public again, because that would inevitably cause a huge uproar.
But Katherine had indeed helped them, and not making her identity and abilities public to express their gratitude would make the Elder Council seem unethical.
After much deliberation, the Elder did not instruct Katherine not to show her face, but instead quietly lowered the camera angle.
Katherine had never been fond of talking, and had been exceptionally silent since she was young.
The Elder had truly thought it was foolproof before.
He had calculated everything, like a clown trying to prevent Katherine from being recognized by the clan members, but he had still overlooked one link.
The Elder did not expect the other students from the No.1 Military Academy to suddenly come over.
He was momentarily at a loss for words to refute them.
Wanting to criticize, but no matter what, he could not say a word.
If Katherine was still their Elf Race's Saint, of course he could scold and abuse her openly; but Katherine was not, she had been expelled from the Elf Race, not recognized by the Elder Council, and was also the Elf Race's savior this time.
The Elder's voice was hoarse:
"Regardless, your actions have brought impact to the Elf Race..."
Katherine interrupted him: "So what do you think I should do?"
There was derision in her eyes:
"Apologize in public?"
The Elder was left speechless, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Just say that you voluntarily withdrew from the Elf Race, and it has nothing to do with the Elder Council."
The moment the words fell, there came laughter from the side.
The Elder's face turned scarlet with anger as he turned to look, and found that the one laughing out loud was Chloe.
She reached out and tugged at the note stuck on her own face, leaning casually against Anderson, and said calmly:
"The shamelessness of the aristocracy really surprises me. Your little act has completely washed your hands clean, leaving not a trace behind."
"But do you really not know why Katherine defected from the Elf Race?"
The Elder was enraged: "Don't talk nonsense! Utter rubbish!"
"I'm not." Chloe drawled, "You have a guilty conscience, if there really was nothing..."
She approached the Elder, her gaze lingering on his face, with a meaningful smile at the corners of her lips:
"If there really was nothing, dear Elder, why are you so terrified? Even your beard is trembling."
Katherine burst out laughing.
After the laughter, Katherine said indifferently:
"Elder, please go back. I am no longer an Elf Race member, this time I helped out of a personal favor to the Elder Council, and as for what happens afterward, don't come find me again."
With that, she stood up to leave.
The Elder instinctively wanted to grab her, but as soon as he raised his hand, a great force came from the side.
His arm was tightly gripped, and the pain was excruciating.
The Elder let out a miserable scream, retreating a few steps backwards, covering his arm and glaring fiercely at Chloe.
Chloe obviously did not feel she had done anything wrong, she slowly wiped her fingers with a tissue, her eyes containing a warning:
"If you take another step forward, I can't guarantee my father won't do something to you."
"You don't want to know Xavier's methods."
As the words fell, the Elder's face suddenly changed drastically.
Xavier, the progenitor of the Blood Clan.
The previous lesson had been profound enough, and if it happened again...
The Elder shuddered.
Seeing this, Chloe cursed "coward" in a low voice, and turned to leave first.
Behind her, Qin Huaibei and Daniel picked up the scattered cards on the ground, and after giving the Elder a final look, also walked out.
...
These days, the Elf Race was in a state of panic, especially the Elder Council.
The Elder Council was at the center of the storm, being denounced and attacked by the Elves.
The Elves' dissatisfaction with the Elder Council system had long been simmering, and recently they were further provoked by the Katherine incident, and began to march through the streets, holding up placards to protest the system.
Ren Yunying knew of their actions, but she didn't say anything, just told them to hurry up and pack their things.
The competition had ended, and they had to return to the No.1 Military Academy.
As they boarded the spaceship, there were still many Elves outside to see them off.
They were shouting the names of the No.1 Military Academy's main team members, especially Chloe and Katherine's the loudest.
Just as the spaceship was about to close the hatch, an Elf from below shouted with all his might:
"Katherine! The Elder Council wronged you! The Elf Race will always be your home!"
As the words fell, the hatch closed completely.
Katherine did not speak, her head lowered, lost in thought.
Ren Yunying also noticed her situation, and after sighing, gently stroked Katherine's hair.
The Elder Council of the Elf Race was undoubtedly antiquated and absurd.
Disregarding the will of the individual to force the Saint and Saint Maiden to unite, monopolizing the politics and economics of the Elf Race, all sorts of autocracy and arrogance, have caused the Elder Council's prestige to plummet among the masses.
The Elf Race needs a thunderous reform.
It may not be achievable in the short term, but this is a necessary outcome.
"Alright, after going through so much, I'm sure everyone is tired?" Ren Yunying said, "Go rest first, I'll call you all up tomorrow morning."
Chloe sighed: "What's the point of waking up, more training?"
Ren Yunying looked at her with a half-smile: "You'll know tomorrow, now, immediately, right this instant, go rest."
No one dared to disobey her order, and they all went back to their respective rooms.
The spaceship continued on its way, heading towards the No.1 Military Academy.
There, countless academy students were eagerly awaiting their return.
