Chapter 373
Ged texted Ivor, “Your flancee is decisive and unyielding! She’s destined for big things in
life.”
Ivor confidently replied, “Why do you think I fell in love with her? After all, birds of a feather flock together.”
‘Damn it, Ivor!‘ Ged cursed inwardly, ‘I only have myself to blame for bringing Bonnie up. Everyone says we should learn from our mistakes, but I’m a fool who keeps repeating them.”
That night, Bonnie finished having dinner with her fellow students. Channing asked with concern, “How about I send you home, Bonnie?”
“You’re doubting my fighting skills by saying that,” Bonnie said playfully.
“I’d never do that. I heard about how you and Maisie fought and ended in a draw a while ago. Still, I noticed the guys from earlier today were looking at you pretty menacingly. Although they might not do anything to us, you’re still a lady. Sometimes, even the best of us get defeated in an ambush. You understand, right?”
Bonnie nodded and said, “I appreciate your concern, Channing. I understand what you mean, but you guys are busy during the day, yet you came to my aid without question. I’m sure you have responsibilities to tend to tomorrow.
“I don’t want to take up more of your time. Also, I already asked someone to come and take me home.”
Channing felt at ease hearing that. Mike added, “Is he reliable? I mean the guy who’s coming to pick you up. Can we count on him?”
Buzz!
Bonnie received a text. After reading it, she smiled at her fellow students and said, “He’s here–let’s go outside. You’ll find out how reliable he is when you see him.”
Soon after Bonnie and the gang left the hotel, they saw an ordinary car waiting for her. She approached the driver’s side and said, “He’s in there.”
She knocked on the window, and her fellow students curiously huddled around the car. They wondered who had come to pick Bonnie up. From her tone, she probably knew the guy well. When the window lowered, they saw Jim’s rugged looks.
“I–Is that Jim Ray?!”
Everyone was stunned, but not because of his fighting prowess. After all, they weren’t

necessarily weaker than him. What surprised them was Jim’s profession. Everyone in Pyralis or even Arvandor knew Jim was Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard.
However, he had come to pick Bonnie up and send her home. Of course, her fellow students would be surprised to see him.
“I’ll take my leave now, guys. See you around!” Bonnie put her arm out the window and waved at them.
“Bye, Bonnie!”
The group watched as the car drove into the distance. One said, “Channing, Master Arturo mentioned Bonnie being talented in scientific research, right?”
“Master Arturo mentioned that to me, too. Do you think Bonnie is who we think she is?” After some thought, Channing texted Arturo, “Jim Ray just picked Bonnie up.”
Arturo replied, “What’s wrong with that?”
“Isn’t he Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard? Why would he make such an effort to pick Bonnie up?”
Arturo replied briefly. “You just answered your own question.”
The rest of the group gathered around Channing. They froze when they saw their master’s reply.
