After bidding farewell to Principal Alfredo, Chloe went to find Caesar.

Caesar was a young gentleman with golden hair.

Having graduated from the Elemental Mage program, he had just finished his experiment today.

Upon receiving Chloe's call, he gladly agreed to meet at Amber Hall.

Amber Hall was bustling today.

Because Heisha had returned.

The downstream suppliers sought for the Simulated Earth Divine Rune were basically ready; the next step was to disseminate the increasingly stable second-generation mass-producible Divine Rune.

As students of the Extreme Society, they could be the first to enjoy the small benefit of the Simulated Earth Divine Rune—

acquiring a recording eligibility at only 50% of the original material cost.

This benefit was limited to members of the Extreme Society and their immediate family members.

Chloe intended to use the newcomers for advertising.

To show the outside world the changes brought by the Extreme Society's new technology.

Chloe's ultimate goal was to make the Simulated Earth Divine Rune a part of fundamental enhancement methods.

However, at present, this path seemed long and arduous.

But even so, the students who had witnessed the prototype of the Simulated Earth Divine Rune had unexpectedly high expectations for the "counterfeit."

During that rainy night charge in Menilanka, the teacher's regiment advanced through the rain without weight along with core members of two associations. Many saw the filthy thunder tearing through the sky.

Later, when they saw the Legendary Disaster Beast slain by the president, its mountain-like corpse lying on the ground gave them goosebumps.

Now, members were coming over one after another to test the effect of the Simulated Earth Divine Rune.

In fact.

Caesar had also intended to try it today.

The young gentleman wasn't lacking in money.

If there's something good, he's naturally willing to try it.

When Chloe recruited him in, Chloe realized this kid had a decent family background.

But now, the young gentleman was brought by Chloe to the guest room of the office area.

Caesar looked at Chloe somewhat curiously and said:

"President, is there something you need to discuss with me today? You seem a bit anxious."

"No rush, take a seat first."

Chloe sat down on the sofa opposite Caesar.

The young gentleman, though youthful-faced, wasn't afraid. After sitting down, he looked at Chloe with even more curiosity.

Chloe smiled and said:

"Caesar, it's been more than half a month since you joined the Extreme Society. How do you feel?"

Caesar pursed his lips and said:

"Would you like to hear the truth or a lie, President?"

"The truth."

"The truth is, I think the Extreme Society will grow into something enormous in the future, but right now, due to the members' strength, it might have to crawl through the mud for a while."

"What a coincidence, that's what I think too," Chloe clapped his hands and said, "Currently, our main body is still students, and due to my personal situation, I have no plans to recruit people from society yet."

Caesar was a bit surprised by this and said:

"The advantage is that the members are pure enough with high trust in the Society; the disadvantage is inadequate overall strength, leaving the president to bear the brunt."

"This issue is easy to solve."

"Hmm?"

"I just need to advance to Demigod before graduation."

Caesar was stunned and, after a moment, sighed:

"As expected of the president."

Chloe burst out laughing:

"I was just talking, and you actually believed it."

"I believe it, considering the Legendary Disaster Beast was even felled by you."

"Alright, alright, enough flattery. I came to you today to ask you something."

"Please go ahead, President."

Chloe stood up and went to the window, looking at the garden outside Amber Hall through the large glass window of the guest room. He said:

"The growth rate of the members of the Extreme Society is still not fast enough, so I'm planning to particularly support some excellent members to help them grow quickly."

"Am I the one chosen?" Caesar was very surprised, "Then thank you, President."

"Ha, you sure accepted quickly, but you should know, in major mysterious associations, background checks are done when members join, right?"

"...I know."

"Caesar, your background investigation is a bit vague. It's not that I don't trust you, otherwise, I wouldn't have called you in specifically."

—The implication was hoping Caesar could provide a reasonable explanation.

Background investigations have their limitations.

At least now with the Extreme Society's situation, it can't support a comprehensive investigation of core members.

Chloe inquired Caesar very skillfully.

Did he conduct a background investigation on Caesar?

Yes, he did, letting the chubby one do the investigation to see why he was connected to Noding.

Dancer Noding, once the Ethereal Emblem Hidden Dagger Gemini.

Later betrayed the academy and defected to the Void Erosion Sect.

A new student being associated with Noding couldn't be a good thing.

After all, Noding's cohort was 4 years apart from Caesar's.

Would you know a senior who's already graduated from undergraduate when you enter university?

So when Daniel brought over the background information, he even reminded himself to prudently examine Caesar.

Because the chubby one said that Caesar's background information was unclear.

It's obvious someone concealed their information.

So, does Chloe intend to nurture Caesar?

He does.

Caesar's talent is considered quite good even among the first-year Ethereal Emblem students.

And that's considering Rephya, Aisha, Fratiss, and these geniuses.

As for Abigail.

Abigail isn't in the reference.

Her situation is quite unusual.

Being young and small is just a layer of disguise.

So Chloe really has high hopes for Caesar.

You know, Rephya, Aisha, and Fratiss all appeared as protagonists and major supporting characters in the main storyline of "Simulated Hero."

Their talents have been validated by the game.

And Caesar's talent has been validated by Chloe.

The mass production effect is really useful.

He heard it from the fat guy.

On that rainy night in Menilanka, Caesar mass-produced the [Combat Continuation] talent effect of Daniel.

Truth be told, Daniel's ability to apply [Combat Continuation] on others is a life-saving remedy.

Yet, applying it once leaves Daniel utterly exhausted, with limited use.

But if Caesar cooperates with him…

Honestly, the duo's ability to save lives at critical moments surpasses his [Recovery].

So Chloe truly wants to train Caesar.

Given the issues with Caesar's background check and the premise of wanting to train him, inquiring about his family situation becomes logical.

Doesn't it?

Hearing Chloe say this, Caesar also began to hesitate.

Chloe chuckled softly:

"Is there something inconvenient to talk about? I'm just here to understand the situation today; it's just the two of us here, this isn't an interrogation.

If there's anything difficult at home, perhaps I can help."

Look at that.

This is the art of language.

First, point out the issues on your side.

Then say I want to train you.

Then gently inquire about family situations.

Finally, add that if there are issues, you can ask the leader for help.

A smooth process of questioning that left Caesar's furrowed brows relaxed.

A moment later, he sighed and said:

"It's already great that the president doesn't despise me."

Chloe feigned surprise and said:

"Why would I despise you? Daniel has praised you in front of me many times."

"Because I'm from the Snake Family."

"The Snake Family, that sounds so familiar..." Chloe quickly remembered, "Noding's Snake?"

Caesar gave a bitter smile without saying more.

Chloe finally understood why, when investigating Caesar, there was so little information to find.

The betrayal incident of Senior Noding caused a huge uproar back then.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Snake Family, an Extraordinary family that had rooted itself in the Ethereal Emblem, was cultivated by the school and then defected to the Void Erosion Sect.

More importantly, during Nording Snake's training, the Ethereal Emblem never wronged him.

This kind of betrayal leaves no room for redemption.

Once this incident occurred, even the Snake Family was soon hidden by the Ethereal Emblem.

The top-notch Hidden Dagger Extraordinary family, in recent years, has become almost equivalent to being reclusive.

"But you don't even go by Snake anymore." Chloe sighed, saying, "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't connect the dots."

Caesar smiled: "After all, our family is notorious now, and when they sent me to study abroad, they specifically asked me to change my surname.

And I didn't follow the family's expertise in the Hidden Dagger route, so the president not knowing is normal."

"So Noding is your..."

"He's my brother and the one I swore to capture myself."

Caesar lifted his head to look at Chloe, saying, "I stand here again to defeat my brother.

In fact, the family has been pursuing him for many years, and each time I hear my brother's status in the Void Erosion Sect rises, it hurts."

"It must have been tough these years."

"Yes, if there was a choice, who would want to go nameless?"

Talking about this, Caesar felt melancholy.

Every path an Extraordinary person walks is fraught with danger.

The family rules of the Snake Family taught me, when stepping on the inhuman path, be prepared, even if reaching its end, to present a final performance.

This was the lesson my older brother taught me before he betrayed.

But now, he himself has gone down that dark path.

"Sorry, president, if it's too difficult, just forget it. I've long expected this."

Caesar smiled gently.

Obviously, he wasn't without thoughts but had become accustomed to facing it many times.

Chloe shook her head, smiling:

"Not at all, quite the opposite. Don't you want my support to personally capture your brother?"

"My brother is strong." Caesar said seriously.

But Chloe replied: "Do you think I'm not strong?"

Caesar seriously assessed Chloe, finally nodding:

"President, you indeed are stronger."

"So, just work hard honestly, and don't let me down."

"…" Caesar stood there stupefied, "President, are you serious?"

"Is there a problem?"

"I'm from the Snake Family."

"So what?"

"…"

"Enough chatter, proceed with implanting the Simulated Earth Divine Rune."

"Yes!"

Visibly excited, Caesar became.

The next moment, as if remembering something, before leaving he said to Chloe:

"President, I wonder if you know about this..."

"Hm?"

"My brother was once a member of the Lion Heart Society."

"Hm?"
