How could this be!

Jojo's heart was filled with disbelief and anger at betrayal—he was able to work at Sword Flower University, not only because he was a Two-winged Fist Claw Mage but also because his family had contributed significantly. His mother was a Griffin Meteorologist of the Griffin Corps, with a high status of Armor Knight; even in the entire Jiale City, his family was quite prominent.

However, a family like his without the support of a Holy Domain could rise and fall within a generation. Once his mother passed away, they'd revert to their original status, not to mention that although their Guard Palace nobility wielded power, accumulating wealth was difficult for them. Thus, the Guard Palace nobles often had to depend on the prosperous Close Palace nobles to form intricate networks of interests, just like Jojo's family relied on a Count Family that possessed a Holy Sanctuary Mage.

Although Jojo received the Count's order to act as a vanguard this time, given his status, he could still refuse if there was actual danger. The reason he dared to come and collect Sevi's inheritance was that the Earl assured him with certainty that the Red-haired Swordswoman was already dead!

This wasn't a simple logical deduction. After failing to contact the Sword Maiden, several nobles collectively entrusted the Prophecy Holy Domain, confirming that Sonia was no longer in the Distant Realm!

If she's not in the Distant Realm and can't be contacted, what other possibility is there besides death?

Even better, although Sonia held significant secrets, she currently had no real estate, and her only relative was an ignorant Village Girl mother far away in the countryside!

If she had already purchased property, they absolutely couldn't bypass the law to break in privately; only the police department would have the right to handle Sonia's belongings. If she had a legally recognized Mage partner by her side, even the police wouldn't be able to retain her belongings and would have to hand them over to her partner for inheritance distribution.

For example, the inheritance of the four Holy Domain individuals who fell in the Kingdom of Stars is not much less valuable than Sonia's, but no one would covet their inheritance. Firstly, their relatives include mages, and secondly, their inheritance is kept within their own properties, making it impossible to act without breaking the law.

But the school dormitory is a particularly unique area; the school and the students both have management rights over the dormitory. The school also has the authority to inspect dormitory hygiene and handle contraband. This creates a massive legal vacuum, allowing Jojo and the others, even after receiving the Stars Blessing, to openly take Sonia's belongings without violating any laws!

This indeed was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so before the exact news of her death arrived, they rushed to seize Sonia's belongings. Even if the Sword Maiden's rural mother came to Jiale City to claim the belongings, they could use 'discovered contraband' as an excuse to keep most of the inheritance, only returning insignificant items to the ignorant Village Girl.

The premise was, Sonia Sevi was truly dead!

Yes, Sonia had no real estate, no relatives to rely on, no high title. Her death would be like extinguishing a light, and everyone would only focus on the secrets she had hidden.

But as long as she's not dead, she's a Holy Sanctuary Mage, a human-form tactical weapon, a living powerhouse second to none except the legendary!

"When facing a home invasion, this should be considered self-defense, right?"

Sonia grabbed them by the throat and lifted them up. She seemed to have put on makeup before coming, and with a radiant smile, she said warmly, "Don't worry, I'll still be living here, so it won't be too ugly, and it seems today it's my turn to clean... so breaking 208 bones is enough, there won't be any bleeding."

"You, you can't!" The female deputy with a head wound screamed, "I am Telya Nobel, I am—"

"Telya!"

Jojo roared, "What do you want to say!?"

Telya hesitated for a moment, then saw Sonia's mocking smile creeping up her lips and showed resentment in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I am the deputy director of the administration department, you can't attack school staff!"

"Not daring to offend the people backing you, but daring to offend me?" Sonia maintained her refreshing smile, yet her ruby eyes were clouded with a hint of darkness, "Is it because offending them would affect your future? But have you considered..."

Her hands suddenly tightened, like a vice on their throats!

"I can crush you now," the Village Girl said unhurriedly, her eyes fixed on them.

A girl, not even 20 years old, saying these kinds of words, would generally not be taken seriously by normal people. Jojo and Telya dared to take on this job because they fundamentally believed there would be no consequences. If it had been Trozan, they would have been terrified long ago. But Sonia, who became famous young, hadn't even entered society or killed anyone, even if captured, they wouldn't feel much fear.

However, at this moment, their hearts felt as if plunged into an icy cave, their minds blank.

The beautiful girl before them seemed pure and kind, as if made of love and candy, yet they felt as if they were being watched by a fierce beast and about to have their necks bitten off any second!

"Sonia!"

Lois called out at this moment, and only then did Sonia slowly loosen her grip, giving the two a chance to gasp for breath from the lack of oxygen.

"We are just nobodies!" Jojo hurriedly explained, "Even if we come forward to testify, it wouldn't matter; there's no substantial evidence. Moreover, we truly didn't violate any laws this time. We merely received news suspecting Miss Sevi's death, so we came early to arrange your belongings—the administration department has this function!"
