Callum Yuan’s voice was not loud, even somewhat low, but everyone present had keen senses and naturally heard everything clearly.
Everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time, clearly having heard.
But there was always someone like Blue Mirror, who tilted his head intentionally and asked,
"What? What did you just say? I didn’t catch that."
Although the other people secretly rolled their eyes at him, they didn’t stop his actions.
Callum Yuan looked at him expressionlessly, this time speaking louder,
"I’m sorry, I lied to you all."
As for the rest, he said no more.
Blue Mirror obviously felt this wasn’t enough and wanted a few more apologies, only to see Callum Yuan’s eyes sweep over him eerily, bluntly stating,
"If your ears can’t hear well, they’ve probably got water in them. A good beating should clear it up."
The implication being, either have a fight or fix your ears.
Blue Mirror seemed to be waiting for these words, immediately becoming spirited and started rolling up his sleeves,
"Come on, let’s fight!"
Even though they already knew Callum Yuan’s true form was a dragon, and even though they couldn’t usually win against Callum Yuan when he restrained himself from showing his true form, no one who could enter the Special Demon Squad was a coward.
Everyone liked competing with the strong.
Compared to an elusive apology, a fight was more straightforward.
Of course, his willingness to say these words already showed his attitude.
So on this day, all the demons at the Academy of Mystique heard about it.
After the big brawl at the academy gates, the whole day in the West District was filled with intense fighting.
Rumor had it, it was even a tag-team battle.
The demons who got beaten up: ... inexplicably felt a bit comforted.
Meanwhile, Magnolia Hearne watched her Scarlett and the Special Demon Squad kids knock down the trouble-making demons before leaving on her own.
She still remembered when these kids followed Scarlett to the Hearne Gardens after she broke in.
She always had to see them win.
Originally, after sending Scarlett and Dashiell to school, she planned to go to the Taoism Academy to find Donovan Jennings, but recalling the scene where Callum Yuan was blocked at the academy gates by a group of demons just now, Magnolia Hearne became a little solemn.
After thinking it over, she changed course and went to the Mystic Regulation Office.
*
Mystic Regulation Office.
Aaron Hearne was momentarily stunned when Sylvia Murray told him Magnolia Hearne had come looking for him.
Besides the time Magnolia sent Scarlett back to learn to control her demonic power, this sister had never actively sought him out.
Aaron Hearne vaguely knew why she had come, signaling for Sylvia Murray to let her in.
Magnolia Hearne hadn’t joined the Mystic Regulation Office; after all, before Jasmine Hamilton and Scarlett Jennings, the Office had never admitted a Half-Demon.
Reaching Aaron Hearne’s floor, Magnolia Hearne followed the aura to Aaron Hearne, not exchanging pleasantries, and directly stated her purpose,
"The child you took under your care, the fact that he’s a Half-Demon has already spread through the academy. Are you not going to intervene?"
Aaron Hearne looked at her but didn’t answer her question, instead saying,
"I didn’t take him under my care."
He had only given him some basic care.
"It’s all the same."
Magnolia Hearne was a bit irritated; this was the emotion that inevitably surfaced every time she faced Aaron Hearne alone,
"As his guardian demon, you should be more concerned about his situation at the Academy of Mystique."
Even though it was likely Callum Yuan’s decision to hide his Half-Demon status.
But the fact that he could keep it hidden was certainly due to Aaron Hearne’s influence as well. Since he had done that, he ought to be responsible.
Aaron Hearne finally gave Magnolia Hearne his full attention after hearing her words and said,
"If he can’t even handle this situation, then there’s no use in keeping him around."
Magnolia Hearne frowned,
"So what are you raising him for, exactly?"
Magnolia Hearne truly couldn’t imagine him raising a Half-Demon.
