"However, I really didn't expect that Orson would be willing to lure the snake out of its hole at the cost of damaging your personal image." Olivia looked at Orson and smiled.
"What's the saying? It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one." Orson said this, raising his eyebrows. "Or, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child?"
"In short, if this is not the case, he will cause us more and more trouble in the future."
The atmosphere in the office was quite harmonious, and no one could have imagined that the three of them had just quarreled two days ago.
"Then, when do we start?" Manuel asked. "I have prepared all the materials here, and those people will definitely not escape."
"No hurry, I'm still waiting for the most important person."
As Orson's voice fell, the door of the office was knocked.
"People are coming." He said this, and continued: "Please come in."
Then, the door of the office was opened, and Virgil walked in from outside.
Looking at Virgil, who always treats others with a kind smile, Orson also greeted him.
"Long time no see, Virgil."
"Master Orson, I have brought the person you want to the designated place." Virgil smiled, bowed and replied.
"Okay." Orson nodded with satisfaction. "I will go there in person later. Now I will arrange other things first."
"Okay, then I will wait for Master Orson outside." Virgil nodded respectfully and then left the office.
"Is this your person?" Olivia looked at Orson and asked.
"Yes." Orson nodded.
"I really didn't expect that the famous smiling devil in the second grade, the white glove that every noble wanted to throw an olive branch to, actually has a master." Olivia said this, looking at Orson with some resentment in her eyes, as if complaining about why Orson kept it secret from her.
"I thought you never needed those things, Orson."
"No, no, I'm not nobler than you, nor as powerful as you. I can definitely use the things you can use."
In the original book, Virgil, as one of Orson's trusted confidants, was extremely capable and was used by Orson to deal with Litt. However, because of Litt's protagonist halo, Virgil was killed by Litt in the end.
However, as Orson's loyal confidant, Virgil did not reveal Orson's identity even at the moment of his death.
When Orson came to the Imperial Academy, he also thought of Virgil.
As the "white glove" carefully cultivated by Orson in the original work, Virgil's task is to deal with some things that Orson's identity is inconvenient to deal with, including but not limited to surveillance, investigation, extortion, and house arrest.
Of course, because Orson has been smooth sailing all the way, Virgil has not yet had the opportunity to show his loyalty.
At the same time, in order to hide Virgil's identity, Orson deliberately let Virgil take the entrance test, and deliberately performed poorly in the subsequent qualifying rounds, becoming a student who was ranked only over 700 and looked ordinary.
In addition, Orson forged an identity of a wealthy businessman's son for Virgil, and he never contacted him on weekdays, so no one in the college ever linked the two together.
Last year, Orson did not assign any tasks to Virgil, but he did not expect Virgil to be called "Smiling Yama" in the second grade.
The reason was that Virgil always kept smiling when dealing with people, until one time, someone provoked him and asked him to fight, and he still smiled and broke the man's teeth on the fighting stage.
In addition, his appearance was not bad, and after dressing up, he was more elegant than some noble boys. From then on, this title has always been with him.
"Smiling" describes that he always likes to laugh, and he is handsome and elegant.
"Yan Luo" describes that he is fierce in fighting and very cruel to his opponents.
Because of this incident, he attracted many young fans, and was able to rank among the top ten in the college's handsome men selection.
Of course, because he was extremely low-key, he never caused any other trouble after that incident, and his own discussion and popularity gradually faded among his classmates, and then slowly was forgotten and no longer mentioned.
Although this violated Orson's original intention to let him hide himself, on the other hand, he "made" a name for himself, and it was more difficult for others to connect him with Orson's men.
"Okay, let's talk about business." Orson said this, looking at Olivia and Manuel. "After you go back, reorganize the department you are responsible for and hold a meeting. At that time, no one should leave the student union building."
"Then, Manuel, after the meeting, take the people you can trust from the discipline department to act, and remember, you must "politely" invite the "big snake" to the student union."
"Then, everything will go according to plan."
"Got it." The two nodded.
"Okay, I have to take care of my own business." Orson stood up.
"After all, that guy bullied my little Lit and made him cry. How can I not pay a price?" As he said this, a chill emanated from his body, and then he walked out of the office.
Looking at Virgil standing at the door, leaning against the wall, he nodded.
"Let's go."
...
Tyrell has been sitting in the house for a long time. During this half day, except for the meal delivered once at noon, no one has come to the house again.
Until ten minutes ago, he was informed that the owner of this room would be here soon and asked him to wait in the living room.
After that, he kept waiting in the living room.
He kept thinking about who the person hiding behind Virgil was.
And how can he help himself?
Then, Tyrell heard the sound of the door lock ringing. He looked up and saw Virgil walking in.
Then, looking at the man following Virgil, he was stunned, and then laughed out loud.
Orson walked into the room, looked at Tyrell who was smiling, and smiled back.
"Mr. Virgil, are you right?" Tyrell said with a hint of mockery. "I just plotted against your master's brother, and I had a feud with him before. Now you tell me that he is coming to help me?"
"Hahaha, you don't joke like this, do you?"
Virgil just smiled and remained silent.
"Who says I can't help you?" Orson said. "Classmate Tyrell, this should be the first time we meet outside of school."
With that said, Orson stretched out his hand towards Tyrell.
"This should also be our first time, really
In the proper sense, the meeting of two separate people. "
Tyrell was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand and shook it with Orson.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down again.
"I can help you clear your name, and I can also help you get rid of those people's control." Orson said this, and stated his purpose straight to the point.
In fact, when Tyrell first provoked Lit and was punched by Orson, Orson had already guessed that Tyrell was being instigated by someone else.
During the subsequent student union election, Tyrell intervened in the election, which convinced Orson of this idea in his heart.
After all, no matter how you say it, he is just the son of an earl. If he dares to challenge the son of a duke, he must have a backer behind him that is not inferior to Li Te.
Coupled with Tyrell's identity, it is easy to connect him with Downey, who was also born in the Duchy of Naples.
Therefore, Orson called Olivia and Manuel together the day after the student union election and discussed the matter privately.
In any case, as members of the same student union, they both prospered and suffered losses. The three of them quickly formulated a method to lure the snake out of its hole.
And all of this still needs to wait for Downey to take the bait and reveal enough flaws.
At the same time, Orson also asked his long-dormant assistant Virgil to take action and began to secretly investigate Downey's power and actions.
The reason why Orson didn't cause trouble to Downey immediately after the student union election was to paralyze Downey and make him think that he didn't dare to do anything to him, so that his behavior would become bolder.
Later, at a banquet hosted by President Louis outside the school, Orson accidentally met Downey, so he used words to anger Downey, making him even more angry with himself.
At this time, Orson was already waiting for Donnie to take action.
That day, after Orson learned about Li Te's accident, he showed anxiety, partly because he was worried about Li Te, but mostly because he had to act in a play with Manuel.
He wanted to pretend that there was dissension within the student union and make Donnie think that Manuel could be manipulated.
Although the leadership group within the student union is generally trustworthy, there will definitely be Downey's eyes and ears among the new members recruited.
Orson pretended to be furious and wanted to see Leeteuk despite breaking the rules.
Then there was a quarrel with Manuel in the discipline department.
Orson knew that the Discipline Department at that time definitely had an informant planted by Downey, because shortly after he lost his temper, the students who were pressuring him seemed to know what was going on in advance and kept asking embarrassing questions for Orson.
Orson also refused to answer and went to the council, pretending to seek help from Dean Luca.
In fact, Orson didn't expect Luca to help him at all. What he did was just telling Donnie, "I'm in a hurry. I won't wait until now."
Then Downey invested a lot of money to buy a sleuth army, create a larger public opinion, and began to prepare to remove Orson from the position of student council president.
At the same time, he bribed members of the student union so that they could also contribute to the flames.
At the end, Downey found Manuel and planned to take advantage of the "hate" between the two to interfere with it and make Manuel disadvantage Orson.
Manuel, who had been vaccinated a long time ago, certainly could not be fooled by Downey's clumsy plan, so he flatly refused and drew a clear line with Downey.
Then came the big reversal at the hearing.
Orson had already asked Virgil to find out Donnie's account books and transaction records, including his contact with Anya. It was Orson who mentioned the victim as an important breakthrough in an insinuating way, so he asked Olivia to take the initiative to investigate. Even if Olivia didn't let him go that night, If Anya betrays her, Orson will also make it public about Downey's bribery of student union members and instigating Tyrell to assassinate Little.
He has always been invincible.
However, instead of directly defeating the opponent, Orson prefers to make those who are hostile to him suddenly make a sharp turn when he is trying to win, and reverse the events.
As the saying goes, the best thing is to attack the heart.
Although he could have pointed his spearhead at Donnie right from the start, this would not have hurt Donnie, but would have alerted him, leaving a hidden danger of hostility towards the brothers Oson and Litt in the academy.
If he wanted to root out the problem, he would have to lure Donnie in step by step, until the intelligence he had could directly prevent Donnie from ever turning over and never being able to harm Litt, and then Orson's goal would have been achieved.
"Mr. Orson, do you want me to betray my father, the son of my father's clan leader?" Tyrell
smiled. "Do you know what kind of disaster I would suffer if I did this?"
"I know." Orson nodded. "But wouldn't it be okay if you didn't do this?"
Tyrell was silent.
Obviously, no matter how difficult the task Donnie gave him was, as long as he didn't complete it, he would be dissatisfied, and when the dissatisfaction accumulated and exploded, it would be extremely terrifying.
No one likes a madman, especially when that madman is your leader.
"As far as I know, your father doesn't treat you that well?" As Orson said this, Tyrell's heart trembled.
"He has treated you as a tool since you were a child, as a tool to curry favor with Giovanni through Donny."
"I'm afraid the most words he said to you were not to let you take care of yourself, but to let you listen to Master Donny more, right?"
"..." Tyrell was silent.
"If your father knew that you had upset Donny when you returned to that kind of home, how would he look at you?"
"Do you think he would tie you up and go to Duke Giovanni to apologize?"
"Don't say it anymore!" Tyrell said loudly, and then he panted and was a little excited.
"Do you think that you can make me betray them and help you by saying this?!"
"No." Orson shook his head. "I'm just stating a fact, and perhaps this fact is a little too hurtful."
"However, I think that there is probably no point in staying in such a home? Why don't you live in a different way?" Orson said this, snapped his fingers, and a contract appeared in front of Tyrell.
"This is a property in the Free City of Drest." Orson stared into Tyrell's eyes, revealing a trace of sincere emotion. "No matter what prejudice we had in the past, at least now, don't you want to take revenge on those who looked down on you in the past?"
"As long as you promise me, I will send someone to escort you to the Free City after this incident. Once you get there, the Florence family will not be able to reach you."
"You can live freely there, live the life you want, get rid of your father's manipulation, and get rid of the oppression of the lord."
"Don't you want to see such a day?"
Orson's words seemed to have magic, making Tyrell fall into a beautiful fantasy of the future.
"Let's not talk about the suffering in the past. At least, now you have another chance to change your destiny, right?"
...
Thinking like this, time came to the evening.
The case of Donnie's bribery and abetment began to be heard.
Luca, the dean of the college, did not attend the hearing, but was presided over by Olivia, the vice president of the student union.
