Chapter 158 Contradictions and Divides.
Jean turned off her phone.
If possible, she felt she needed to meet Asher in person.
Just then-
A sudden noise came from the bedroom window.

Jean’s eyes flickered. As if she had thought of something, she instinctively moved closer to the window.
Clang.
She reached out and pushed the window open.
A shadow carrying a chill darted inside!
It was exactly as Jean had suspected-
“Ludwig, you-”
She turned, her surprised gaze falling on the boy who had suddenly returned.
“You’re still injured. Can you stop pushing yourself so hard?” Jean said helplessly, shaking her head. Just a few hours ago, they had gone their separate ways at the airport. Ludwig was supposed to go home and rest. Why had he suddenly come to the Ginger family now?
“I’m not pushing myself,” the boy said, brushing his slightly messy bangs aside. His cold, pale skin under the light looked almost like a sheet of paper. “I came because I need to talk to you.”
Ludwig’s lips pressed into a straight line, his dark eyes sharp as blades. For once, the boy looked deadly serious.
It made Jean’s nerves tighten instinctively.
“What is it?”
She walked closer to Ludwig and asked directly.
Ludwig pressed his thin lips together and then said, “The Abyssal Choir is about to hold a regular meeting.”
Jean blinked, stunned.
“You have to come with me,” Ludwig said firmly, his thin lips moving with quiet determination.
Jean blinked again, her mind racing.
The Abyssal Choir was holding a regular meeting?
An underground, villainous organization actually held scheduled meetings?
Where would they even meet? It couldn’t possibly be somewhere public…

But she hadn’t received any kind of notification from the organization!
Not just about this “meeting“-even during the operation at the Central Theater, she had been kept completely in the dark.

Besides, ever since joining the organization, no one besides Ludwig had ever contacted her. Was that normal?
Was Ludwig her superior?
It didn’t seem that way. Ludwig had always gone out of his way to protect her and accommodate her requests. That was definitely not how a superior treated a subordinate…
Or maybe, inside the Abyssal Choir, she was just an insignificant nobody, someone not worth notifying about anything important. Only someone at Ludwig’s level would be informed…
But that didn’t make sense either.
If she really were a nobody, why would the organization assign someone like the infamous “Wicked Kid” to protect her?
Everything about it was contradictory and confusing.
What exactly was her position?
Maybe… maybe she could find some answers at this meeting.
Jean suddenly felt a bit more interested in this mysterious “routine meeting.”
“What are you thinking about?”
The boy’s voice broke through Jean’s tangled thoughts.
Seeing her deep frown, Ludwig thought she was reluctant to attend. His tone softened slightly. “Originally, you didn’t have to attend… but don’t worry. The meeting’s not as formal as you’re imagining. You’ll see when we get there.”
But Jean sharply caught a keyword in his words. “You said I originally didn’t have to attend?”
“Yeah,” Ludwig nodded. “Normally, only core members active in Blairford go to these meetings. As for you
At this, Ludwig’s gaze darkened. “Honestly, most people in the organization don’t even know who you are.”
