Chapter 179: It’s Not Exactly Rumor (Part 1)

Amalia halted and turned around, saying, "Your friend is right. Don’t come near me from now on."

"But I can’t do that!" Isabella Xiao blurted out, "Amalia, you’re my friend too. How can I watch you being isolated just for my sake?"

"Oh, what do you suggest then?" Amalia asked.

Isabella Xiao felt a pang of suffocation, not expecting Amalia to turn the question back on her.

She looked conflicted, and said, "I don’t know either."

Amalia didn’t feel disappointed; she always believed there was no unfounded kindness, "Then follow your friend’s advice. Goodbye."

With that, she briskly walked away.

Isabella Xiao couldn’t catch up and stood there, stomping her foot in frustration before sending a message to someone on her communicator.

After a moment, the two met at their usual spot.

"I told you, unless it’s something important happend, don’t come to me directly. Why not just send me a message?" Grace Rodriguez said impatiently.

Isabella Xiao, ignoring her tone and straightforwardly explained the situation, "She’s become wary of me now. Getting close to her won’t be easy."

"What have you done? I said to keep her hanging, and not to let her catch on. Is this how you handle things after you get paid?" Grace Rodriguez expressed her dissatisfaction.

Isabella Xiao felt a pang of guilt; she didn’t know why Amalia had found out.

Was it because she didn’t approach her in the morning?

She dared not say that.

Initially, her plan was to use this incident to gain Amalia’s favor and further their relationship.

She hadn’t expected it to backfire.

At this point, Isabella Xiao was unaware that Amalia had harbored suspicions about her initial intentions.

This incident was just a good opportunity to get rid of her.

"Forget it. Once Amalia becomes suspicious of someone, she won’t trust that person anymore. Anyway, it’s almost over. You don’t need to get close to her anymore," Grace Rodriguez didn’t want to complicate things further, and fortunately, she had also prepared adequately.

"Miss Rodriguez, can you tell me what your plan is to deal with Amalia?" Isabella Xiao, seeing her reluctance to press further, asked with a grin.

"Your task is already finished. What’s next isn’t your concern, and it’s not for you to ask," Grace Rodriguez said coldly, and making her dislike evident towards Isabella Xiao.

She disliked overly smooth-talking individuals, especially those with strong ulterior motives.

Unlike Javier Weiss, who was easily captivated by her, and believed everything she said without much questioning.

Isabella Xiao shrugged.

If she didn’t want to say, she wouldn’t.

She dared not meddle in the wars among these aristocratic offspring.

After that day, the news about Amalia aiming to secure the top spot, and surpassing Rasler Yoder, quickly spread throughout the artifact refining college.

Eventually, this information also reached the people in the weaponry department.

Xylia Lazaro and Javier Hermandez took advantage of the situation and came to visit.

"Amalia, what’s going on at the artifact refining college? Many students are saying you’re aiming to surpass Rasler Yoder and become the top first-year student at the artifact refining college. Who spread these rumors? Have you offended someone?" Xylia Lazaro was straightforward, and going straight to the point upon seeing Amalia’s silence.

Javier Hermandez also looked at Amalia and wanted to ask as well, but Xylia Lazaro had already covered all his questions, so he just stood a side and watched.

"It’s nothing, it’s just that someone is keeping an eye on me," Amalia replied calmly.

"It’s not exactly a rumor."

"I knew it, this is just a ru... huh?" Xylia Lazaro paused midway through his sentence.

When she realized what she had said, she widened her eyes and said: "You can’t be serious. Did you really say that?"

"Amalia, Rasler Yoder has been heavily groomed by the Yoder family since childhood due to his outstanding talent. In his first semester at Heavenly Path University, he was already the top student at the artifact refining college. You might not be aware of the situation in the Yoder family," Javier Hermandez said, somewhat incredulous.

Xylia Lazaro added, "Exactly. Do you know the situation with the Yoder family? The family is vast and has significant businesses. In this generation alone, there are over a dozen talented individuals in artifact refining. For Rasler Yoder to stand out among them not only showcases his talent but also indicates the family’s intention to groom him similar to Yesemia Yoder. For him, being the top student at the artifact refining college isn’t just a title; it signifies status and power."

Amalia listened to them talking about how powerful the Yoder family and Rasler Yoder were; she truly didn’t know anything about it before.

Previously, she had understood Rasler Yoder’s position in the artifact refining class.

She had witnessed many power struggles before, but within a university, among freshmen, someone like Rasler Yoder who firmly established themselves as the top figure in the artifact refining was rare.

At that time, Amalia speculated whether being the top figure in the artifact refining college held any special significance for Rasler Yoder.

This was also thanks to Isabella Xiao; In order to get closer to her, she found ways to strike up conversations, knowing about the friction between her and Rasler Yoder, she mentioned a lot of things related to him.

The Yoder family was the most renowned artifact refining family in the fruit country, with each generation producing one or two exceptionally talented descendants with the qualifications of an artificer.

However, this wasn’t solely due to inherent artifact refining abilities in the Yoder family’s bloodline.

Unlike most families, the Yoder family’s men could have multiple wives and concubines, so they could select a suitable heirs for the Yoder family in a widespread manner.

This generation’s descendants could be said to be the most outstanding one in the Yoder family’s history for several hundred years, primarily because of Yesemia Yoder and Rasler Yoder.

Yesemia Yoder was senior to them, but later, Michael Wang emerged and broke her unshakable position in the artifact refining’s senior year, preventing her from controlling the entire senior class of the artifact refining.
