Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 151 Alberta’s Mysterious Invitation (1)

"How could it be... that child would actually do such a thing..."

Odelet groaned in pain.

Even if she didn't want to believe this was the truth, Alfred could understand. After all, as a parent, it was human nature to want to blindly believe in their children.

But that's all.

"I think that the reason why Ulysses-san did this must have a lot to do with the two of you. So I think you two must also take the corresponding responsibilities."

Odelette didn't answer, but just lowered her head in regret and self-blame.

(Ah…I accidentally said something a little too much.)

"Since, in that case, we will apologize sincerely and let that brat apologize to you. Can this contract be annulled? If we have to bear this debt, our lives will be miserable..."

Stanley, who had been silent, spoke excitedly.

But Odelle interrupted him.

"I understand. Viscount Ulysses' family will recognize this contract."

She declared calmly.

“What… Odelette, what on earth are you kidding? You actually acknowledged this kind of contract. What do you want me to do in the future…”

"Shut up first."

Odelette didn't look at Stanley, but gave the order in a cold tone.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

She continued, her smile looking very tired.

“Since Mr. Elekter (Alfred) doesn’t hate the Ulysses family or us, can we renegotiate some of the terms of the contract?

If the Ulysses family were to fall into ruin and be completely unable to pay their debts, you would surely feel somewhat troubled."

"Of course, no problem. I was very rude to you before, and to express my apology, I am willing to make concessions on the terms of the contract."

Alfred straightened his sitting posture slightly and answered seriously.

Because Odelet showed her sincerity, and he also felt a little guilty for having spoken too harshly just now.

Alfred decided to respond to the other party with corresponding sincerity.

"Thank you. There is one more thing. Principal Alberta, can I take Brady back with me for a while? I have something I want to ask him, and I also want to punish him for this incident."

After Odelette bowed her head to thank Alfrid, she looked at Alberta who had been watching how things were going.

"No problem. Since you, as a parent, want to take Ulysses back, we have no reason to stop you, right?"

"Thank you very much, too."

Odelete bowed her head and thanked Alberta again.

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Alfred asked, looking at Alberta in front of him.

After agreeing on the new contract with Odelette, Alberta did not let him leave just like that.

"Why do you say that?"

Alberta took a sip of the black tea elegantly, and frowned when she found that the tea had completely cooled down.

Sabrina on the side showed a disgusted expression as if saying "Why didn't you drink it earlier? What a waste", and served her a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

(These two are really interesting.)

Alfred couldn't help but think so in his mind.

"Lord and Lady Ulysses, you are the one who came here, right? I don't think that classmate Ulysses (Brady) dares to tell his family about the contract he signed and the contents of the contract."

He also said after taking a sip of black tea.

"So what?"

Alberta neither confirmed nor denied it, but urged Alfred to continue.

"You want to talk to me about something that is definitely troublesome. But you don't want others to know that you have come to me alone for a certain purpose, so you went to great lengths to create such a farce, right?"

"Pfft, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing."

Alberta laughed and agreed with Alfred's speculation.

"I think it's better to be smart. I dare to tell you the truth because you don't mind me finding out the truth. If you mind, I have been pretending to be stupid from now on."

Alfred replied with a shrug.

"Oh~ You really dare to say that, little brat."

Alberta raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You have ruined my original plan. Please allow me to complain."

"Planning? Tell me, what did you originally plan to do, you evil-minded little devil?"

Alberta seemed curious and asked Alfred to explain in detail in a playful tone.

"It's really an exaggeration to say that I have bad intentions. I just want to make sure that Ulysses (Brady) doesn't dare to pick a fight with me again, and that he will never be able to hold his head up in front of me again."

Alfred's original plan did not actually include asking Brady to repay his debt.

His goal was to have the leverage of the unpayable contract.

Alfred knew that Brady would probably not want to pay back the money, and being both timid and stubborn, he did not intend to tell his family about it.

As long as there is no debt collection, Brady will most likely not take the initiative to ask Alfred to pay back the money.

Even if he were to pay it back, he wouldn't be able to pay much with his ability.

By the time he reaches the third or fourth grade, the debt will become an astronomical figure that Brady will never be able to repay.

Moreover, the loan was not in Brady's personal name, but in the name of Ulysses' family.

This means that the Elect family now has a big handle on the Ulysses family. As long as Alfred wants, he can order the Ulysses family around, and threaten them with paying back debts if they don't obey.

Unfortunately, this wishful thinking was ruined by Alberta.

"You are more evil than I thought, and scarier than what Michelle said."

Alberta couldn't help laughing after hearing the explanation.

"So, why did you ask me to come here? It can't be that you are here to find out about something so boring, right?"

"Hehe, of course not. Elect, um... it feels too long, just like that girl Michelle. I'll just call you Al from now on."

"It's really casual."

Alfred sighed helplessly.

"Why, are you dissatisfied?"

Alberta puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and stared at Alfred inquiringly.

Alberta is considered very young among the elves, but he has long passed the age of adulthood for the elves.

Although her coquettish look was quite cute, Alfred still sincerely hoped that Alberta could behave more maturely, especially in front of his student.

Forget about Michelle as a mentor, but when Alberta as the principal acted cute in front of Alfred, he didn't know how to react.
