The System Of Beauty
Chapter 35. Breaking an Opponent

After resuming her class, Zee felt that there was something strange about the atmosphere. A feeling of alert approached when the sun began to sink and the atmosphere grew darker. As he walked home, he felt followed by steps that vaguely sounded behind him.

His heart was pounding fast, but he tried not to show his fear.

When she got home, Zee felt increasingly uncomfortable. He decided to find out who had been watching him in the library earlier.

"Who was that lurking in the library?" zee asked with a quivering voice, at himself m

"I've never felt this hot, and it's weird." Zee began to ponder, recalling every detail he could know about the events in the library.

She details about what she does, the places she visits, and the people she might meet.

Suddenly ...

[Tip]

[You need help, Miss Zee?]

"Ah, yes it is. I feel something is suspicious."

Zee, finally told her about her suspicions while in the library. About someone lurking.

He found that there had been some suspicious movement of people around the school in recent days. The directive led to possible illegal activities taking place near the school, especially regarding news of him.

[Tip]

[Sure this has something to do, Miss Zee. Do I need more direct help? Miss can exchange it for a tool that is in the system store.]

Zee was relieved when he finally was able to talk to System of Beauty, regarding his suspicions. He decided to accept an offer of assistance directly from the system and exchange it for a suggested tool.

"Thank you, of course, I'll need it" Zee said with a hint of relief.

After swapping out the tools, Zee now has a small device that can identify suspicious activity in the vicinity. He immediately walked back to school the next day cautiously, the device ready to give a warning if any suspicious action was detected.

While in the school corridor, the device suddenly shook. There were two people who were seen talking in a corner, and the device deemed their conversation suspicious.

"Is it time to work?"

"But who are they?"

Zee was feeling a little nervous, but carefully he approached them to listen to their conversation without being too flashy.

He heard words like "plans," "secrets," and "meeting tonight." Zee's feeling that something is wrong is getting stronger.

After the two of them separated, Zee decided to follow one of them from a safe distance. He uses a tool to monitor the movements of the person.

The device provides directions and distance to ensure the Zee stays in a safe position.

The person walked towards a rather secluded building behind the school. Zee follows carefully and tries to remain invisible. When he arrived near the building, he saw someone carrying some suspicious cardboard into the building.

Zee realized that this was a good time to gather evidence.

He took photos from a safe distance using his phone, and also recorded the room number where the boxes were brought in. After which, he returned slowly to his device to report his findings.

[Tip]

Zee feels increasingly confident with the evidence she has. He decided to contact the authorities and provide the information he found.

Maybe it's time to reveal the evil plans that are going on near her school.

As Zee begins to contact the authorities and provide the information she finds, their reactions show that they greatly appreciate her efforts to help uncover any malicious plans that may be unfolding around the school.

The authorities immediately responded and instructed Zee to stay safe while they carried out further investigations.

Meanwhile, Zee is amazed and a little shaken when she learns that Ella, and her close friends are involved in the activity. With mixed feelings, Zee recalled all the moments they had gone through together.

She feels not confused and sad, but also does not believe that Ella is involved in something that could jeopardize her own good name as the headmaster's son and the people around her.

Zee decides to talk to Ella directly and gives her a chance to explain what is going on. They met in a quiet place outside the school.

"Ella, I don't know what to hear. Can you tell me what's going on?" ask Zee with a face full of questions.

Ella looked hesitant and a little anxious. Finally, she admitted that she and some of her friends had been involved in activities that were not supposed to be done. They engage in illegal activity involving the questionable good name of Zee.

"Zee, I know this is so stupid and wrong. But I don't want to lose to you!" ella shouted in frustration.

"You, take Ryan's attention away from me!"

Zee was shocked and saddened to hear the confession. Although she was angry at what Ella had done, she also felt pity for Ella's pitiful confession.

"I don't know what's going to happen next, Ella. But for sure, you have to take responsibility for your actions. I hope you are willing to admit it and are willing to fix it" Zee said firmly.

Ella nodded sadly, but remained with her haughty face. He felt like everything could be controlled as usual.

Meanwhile, the authorities managed to take action based on the information Zee provided and managed to stop the ongoing activity on social media.

***

Elsewhere, when the Shah, who did not know that Zee already knew the truth about their activities, learned this fact through the news on social media, he felt very surprised and surprised. He is aware that Zee has been behind these disclosures and may have provided information to authorities.

Without hesitation, the Shah decided to contact Ella. In the conversation, he questioned what had really happened and expressed his disappointment and anger.

Ella was distressed by the call, but she knew she had to speak honestly.

"Ella, I know that this is your original idea, and I feel very surprised by all this. Why didn't you tell me that everything had become like this?" ask the Shah in a very emotional tone.

Ella paused for a moment before finally admitting in a trembling voice, "Dad, I'm so sorry. At first, I didn't know that this was going to turn into something so serious. I don't know how to stop it once it's all started. I'm so sorry."

The shah was mixed in hearing the confession. She still felt angry at Ella's decision, but she also felt pity for the guilt she showed. He wondered if he should reveal to the authorities that this idea was originally from him.

After a moment of silence, Shah finally said, "Ella, although I am very angry and disappointed, I also want you not to involve my name!"

The disillusioned Ella only agreed with what the Shah said, and the two decided not to get in touch for a while during the police investigation.

It seems, the Shah wants to wash his hands in this matter!
