Chapter 168: Playing Dead Won't Solve Problems

"Pssst..."

Ronald naturally understood the troubled expression on Nicole's face, one she had never shown before.

After thinking deeply for a moment and calming down to organize his thoughts,

"The content of the ciphered letter in my hands has absolutely nothing to do with you or your teacher, and if the contents were to be revealed, your situation would become extremely dangerous."

"My intention is that you don't get involved in this matter, as that is the safest option for you."

"The lie detector spell is still in effect, you know I'm not lying to you."

"Pssst..."

Ronald's heartfelt advice only led Nicole to smile with a mix of relief and helplessness.

But even so, there was a truth she had to pursue!
