Dark clouds filled the sky, threatening rain. Many pedestrians had already put on their hoods, preparing to face the temperature drop and the first drops of moisture that would soon fall on this evening.

The crowd gathered around the Herloom Broadcasting Corporation building were beginning to turn their gazes towards the distance or focus on the screens. The giant screens on the building continuously broadcasted behind-the-scenes interviews from the talk show. The surrounding noise around the microphones, every word, was amplified and echoed beneath the entire building.

On the large screen, the images of two girls were magnified infinitely, every small action, every expression, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

"I'm not..."

Hyperion had never imagined that Lan Qi's interview would be so inflammatory. In such a short time, so many of his ardent supporters had appeared.

When she had parted ways with him earlier, even she had never seen Lan Qi display such talent for spreading fervent followers on such a large scale in Iketeri. It even made Hyperion unable to understand what Lan Qi had experienced in the Protoss Empire in the past two months!

But gradually, no one listened to her. People's gazes were filled with varying degrees of hostility.

In the eyes of this political figure's fervent supporters, this Miss Milford's statement was disrespectful to their leader and an open challenge from the opposition.

"These two young ladies are simply expressing their views. In Mr. Rocky McCarthy's opinion, everyone has the right to actively express their opinions. Every voice should be heard, so that we can progress, right?"

The reporter was constantly trying to express himself and maintain order during the interview, while also trying to quell emotions that seemed ready to explode.

But he didn't dare to overly defend the two girls, fearing that these McCarthy fans would also consider him an enemy of Rocky McCarthy.

"You don't understand Rocky McCarthy at all!"

"You two pedantic noble young ladies should be expelled. Mr. Rocky McCarthy is too kind, giving you too much freedom in the campus."

Gradually, some fans began to loudly express their dissatisfaction, and some more impulsive people even started shouting in this direction.

This emotion began to spread like a wave, making the reporter feel immense pressure, and he could only try to end this extremely stressful interview as soon as possible.

"You...!"

Mishulla was about to scold those people. Although she didn't know why her sister didn't want Rocky to run for president, she only knew that her sister was wronged and unable to defend herself. Clearly, her sister was the woman who supported Rocky the most from the bottom of her heart.

However, Mishulla, who was about to erupt, was stopped by Hyperion's cold hand.

This was not the time to make things worse, causing trouble for the Milford family in this conspicuous location under the Herloom Broadcasting Corporation.

The air was filled with a tangible pressure, and the sense of danger became tense, like a string about to snap.

The guards also began to notice the excited emotions that the crowd wanted to vent. They quickly stepped up security, preparing to intervene when necessary to ensure the interview's safety.

The position where the two girls stood instantly became the most eye-catching focal point of this sleepless city of Herloom. The crowd began to close in, shrinking the space where they could stand.

On the other side.

The revolving glass doors of the Herloom Broadcasting Corporation building slowly turned.

Escorted by a group of suited, serious-looking security personnel, the figure of the young political celebrity stepped out of the Herloom Broadcasting Corporation building.

His aura was unique, and even in the night, his unique style could not be concealed. The shadow cast by his tall figure stretched longer on the ground as he walked. His purple suit was covered with a dark woolen coat. He looked at the situation outside, then put one hand in his coat pocket and walked forward, accompanied by the cheers that erupted from the dark crowd.

Even a casual glance revealed his unintentional charisma as a leader.

People shouted Rocky McCarthy's name and the inspiring slogan he had spoken on the talk show today.

For a time, it was like a huge wave that even overwhelmed some of the discussions and riots on the other side of the building.

"Students from our school?"

Lan Qi noticed the clothing on the two girls through the gaps in the dense crowd and muttered to himself in confusion.

His gaze shone on that small circle like a spotlight. Even without speaking, his appearance was like a reassuring pill, making the crowd in that direction notice his gaze.

He had noticed a slight commotion in the distance when he had just stepped out of the Herloom Broadcasting Corporation's door.

If there was chaos, he certainly couldn't sit idly by.

"Please help me, thank you."

Then he turned his head and briefly communicated with the security personnel next to him and raised his hand.

Soon, at the request of this young political figure, made with simple body language, the surrounding people consciously made way.

The guards immediately seized the opportunity and began to guide him smoothly through the crowd, advancing towards the two girls.

With each step, the crowd on both sides would involuntarily retreat, clearing the way for him.

Although the surrounding cheers continued, under Lan Qi's aura, all the earth-shattering shouts seemed particularly quiet, like the blank space left for him in the picture under the night.

Finally, he walked through the path cleared by the crowd and approached the reporter and the two girls from the Herloom Broadcasting Corporation.

Lan Qi sighed helplessly.

Although no one knew why he sighed.

Why was it these two Milford girls again?

In just two days, this was the second time he had encountered them.

However, he had met the two of them at the Rock Junction Station in Boxberg Province as the Nirvanic Son escorting Sigrid.

So for these two girls, this was probably the first time they had come into contact with him, Rocky McCarthy.

Then Lan Qi's eyes swept across the crowd. His rational gaze seemed to be telling everyone—they were students in the school he managed, so please everyone remain calm.

As the headmaster, he had an unspoken responsibility and protection for these young people.

When he walked not far from the two girls, Lan Qi's figure once again appeared on the screen between the buildings.

He raised his hand lightly and powerfully to signal the surrounding fans, using the shortest action to inform everyone that respect and understanding were the core values he adhered to as a leader in this widely watched occasion.

"...!"

Hyperion stared blankly at this figure who had suddenly appeared, familiar yet unfamiliar, close at hand yet as if separated by a high wall.

Unexpectedly, once again, he had come to her side to help her.

And under his protection, she finally felt a sense of security and comfort.

"I'm sorry, I think everyone may have misunderstood her meaning. In school, I am strongly loved by some students, and therefore some students do not want me to leave the campus to take up political work that requires being busy with imperial affairs. Please understand them."

Lan Qi faced the camera and calmly rephrased Hyperion's words for her.

"...Woo."

Hyperion's bright pupils, mixed with a hint of emotion, rejoicing, and grievance, reflected his figure.

Although the reaction of the surrounding noisy crowd made her feel deafened for a moment, only Rocky McCarthy's gentle voice echoing below the building was particularly clear, and every word could enter her mind.

It turned out that it wasn't just in the Southern Continent, in Iketeri.

Even if he went to the Northern Continent, in this Herloom where they had never met each other, without seeing through her disguise, he would still come to help her.

It was also at this moment that Hyperion recalled the past when she had just met Lan Qi, who was still unfamiliar, at the Iketeri Academy.

At that time, he also spoke in this way, constantly helping her.

During the entrance exam, he helped her win against the malicious Viscount Ferat. After the entrance exam, he eased her relationship with Princess Vivian. When the son of Marquis Modan came to make trouble, he drove him away, took her through the Shadow World Demon Academy to quickly become stronger, rushed to the garden to defeat the female assassin of the Resurrection Church, and protected herself, who was selected as the target of the vampire's kin hunt, at the Holy Church banquet, and protected herself from the direct killer of the Yaloran academic visit team...

It was not until this moment that Hyperion understood why she was so unlucky.

Although this person took away her merit, he would always come to save her when she was in danger.

Was this what it was like to meet someone you spent all your luck on?
