Chapter 1604

[ 615 words ]

William was yelling so loudly that everyone nearby instinctively turned to look.

William frowned awkwardly. He leaned in close to Zavala and hissed viciously, “Just wait until the finals. I’m going to crush you.”

“Okay.”

Zavala maintained his polite smile, looking exceptionally courteous. “Do you have anything else to add? If not, I’m going to head out.”

William stood frozen in place, feeling like he’d just punched a marshmallow.

Did this guy seriously not have a temper?

Seeing that William wasn’t saying anything, Zavala resumed walking. He took a few steps. Then he suddenly stopped, turned back to William, and drawled, “Actually, there is one thing I need to correct you on.”

William: “?”

Zavala: “Our Goddess was never genetically modified. She’s just naturally that smart. So beating your teacher was completely fair and square.”

“Okay, I’m done now.” Zavala gave him a little wave. “Goodbye.”

William stood rooted to the spot, staring at Zavala’s retreating back with a highly complicated expression.

WTF?

Was this guy’s brain completely short-circuiting?

Offstage.

Zavala walked up to Juniper and Tucker, speaking in a flat, robotic tone: “The finals are in two days.”

“We know.”

Tucker patted Zavala on the shoulder, smiling proudly. “How does it feel making it to the top five?”

“Feel?”

Zavala looked genuinely confused for a few seconds before adopting an incredibly serious, utterly blank expression. “I don’t feel anything.”

To him, the competition was just like any regular class. As long as the outcome was correct, that was all that mattered.

Tucker was speechless.

The guy was truly made of wood.

“Go back and get a good rest. Good luck in the finals.” Juniper looked down at him. “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. We’re already thrilled with this result.”

“Thank you, Goddess.” Zavala glanced at Juniper, then immediately dropped his head, his cheeks turning red.

“Alright, let’s head back.” Tucker started herding everyone toward the exit.

He walked alongside Juniper, calculating the timeline. “We’ve been gone for five days. The wedding is in five days.”

The finals were in two days. If it wrapped up, they could fly back on the 17th.

Land on the 18th, wedding on the 20th.

It was cutting it incredibly close.

“I might need to leave halfway through the finals,” Juniper said softly. “An emergency came up, and I have to head back.”

“That works.”

Tucker nodded, his heart aching for her. “I just don’t want you exhausting yourself.”

She had spent the last few days

constantly with the three students, adjusting their code every single day and giving lectures. She waso definitely drained.

The competition was wrapping up anyway.

Her leaving early wouldn’t have any major impact.

“I’ll leave the private jet for you all,” said smoothly, her red lips “Someone will assist you

with everything, so don’t worry,

“We can’t do that.” Tucker already felt bad enough; there was no way he felt

comfortable taking her private jet.

Juniper cut him off. “Listen to me.”

Her tone was too authoritative.

Tucker had no choice but to agree and follow her arrangements.

Back at the hotel.

Juniper took a shower, flopped onto the bed, and video-called Shanley. “Are you busy lately?” Juniper asked casually, a lollipop in her mouth.

“Sort of.” Shanley stared at her with gentle eyes. “The company matters are mostly settled. I’ve been overseeing the wedding ven

setup.” Content belong

Juniper wasn’t a fan of overly traditional, exhausting weddings, so they had chosen

an outdoor venue on the outskirts of Eclara City.

It was set on a sprawling green meadow surrounded by mountains and water— absolutely breathtaking.

The color palette was purple and white, with fresh flowers flown in from all over the world to ensure every single bloom was perfect.

It had taken fifteen full days to build what looked like a fairytale castle in a hidden paradise. “Oh.”

Juniper didn’t care much about the wedding details. She wiggled her toes and asked, “Aside from the wedding, are you busy with anything else?”
