Ron noticed that although Cassandra was smiling as she spoke, there was no hint of amusement in her eyes.
"However, I didn't expect them to marginalize Professor Chester because of this.
I'm not that petty, I wouldn't deliberately target someone over a minor academic disagreement."
Cassandra's tone suddenly turned gentle:
"Since you've come to plead on his behalf, of course, I'll give you that courtesy. Blake's resource supply will return to normal levels."
She waved her hand, indicating for Ron to put away the protective talisman:
"As for this talisman, keep it for yourself. I'm not interested in such trifles."
Hearing this, a wave of caution surged in Ron's heart.
The "generosity" Cassandra displayed only made him feel a profound sense of unease.
Truly powerful predators often present themselves with seemingly magnanimous gestures.
"By the way, Ron."
Cassandra mentioned another matter, her eyes showing a meaningful gleam:
"I heard you met with Master Vinard today?"
