Chapter 360

If Professor Albright had a flawed character, Kingsley wouldn't enlist his help—even if the former's skillswere 100 years ahead of Coliree Island's. This was because Kingsley knew that a partner with adisreputable character might bring incalculable losses to his own side.

Seeing his grave expression, Elaine said with a smile, "Do you happen to have chosen one of my dad'sclasses? Haha, don't worry. He only has a weird temper, as well as some problems with his lifestyle.He's stubborn, prone to get angry, and sexist, but he absolutely isn't a bad guy."

"Uh… Is it okay for you to speak of your dad like this?" Kingsley didn't know whether to laugh or tofrown at her words. This lady really doesn't treat me as an outsider, huh… He decided that the mostappropriate thing to do would be to contact Professor Albright himself. Firstly, hearsay wasundependable, and seeing was believing, so he had to judge for himself whether Professor Albrightwas a bad guy or not. Secondly, he had to confirm whether the latter was really the leader of TheAnonymous whom he was looking for. After all, everything he knew now was merely his conjecture. Itremained to be confirmed whether Professor Albright was the leader of The Anonymous or not.

He glanced at his watch and realized that it was almost 9:00PM now. "Miss Albright, at what time arethe dormitories of your university closed?" If the door to Courtney's dorm was locked when he arrived,he would've come here for nothing.

"Your university?" Elaine asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you a student of Solaris University?"

"I've said at the restaurant just now that I'm not a student of Solaris University," Kingsley replied. "I'mhere to visit my seventh sister."

Elaine replied, "I thought you lied to him that you weren't a student of the university because you wereafraid that he'd give you a hard time."

Kingsley rubbed his chin. "I'm not afraid of him, nor do I have to lie to him either."

"Haha… You don't have to be afraid of him, of course! You're not a student of the university," Elainereplied with a smile. "The dormitories in our university are closed at 11:30PM. Which dormitory do youwant to go? Let me take you there."

Kingsley took out his cell phone and found the text message Reene had sent him. He read, "TheInformation Security course at Solaris University's Faculty of Computer Science… Room 1205 of BlockJasmine."

"Pffft! Cough! Cough…" Hearing the address he read aloud, Elaine choked on her saliva and coughedrepeatedly. "Room 1205 of Block Jasmine? That's my dorm room! Who is your seventh sister?"

"My seventh sister is called Courtney Bullock." Kingsley was surprised, too. "Don't tell me there's sucha coincidence."

Elaine laughed at once. "Turns out you're Court's brother! You should've told me earlier! Court and I arebest friends!"

With Courtney being a mutual friend, Elaine and Kingsley instantly grew closer. Elaine asked with asmile, "So, what's your name, brother?"

"Uh…" Kingsley couldn't help being rendered speechless when he heard Elaine call him like that. "I'm

Kingsley Nicholson."

"Your surname is Nicholson?" Elaine asked in puzzlement. "Are you Court's cousin?"

"Nope, we grew up together in the orphanage," Kingsley replied honestly.

Elaine's eyes froze when she heard this. Only now did she learn that Courtney had actually grown up inan orphanage. Her eyes showed a hint of sympathy as she said, "No wonder. No wonder Court is sothrifty and compassionate…"

"Thrifty?" Kingsley turned slightly pale. "Is she living on a tight budget or something?"

"No, that's not the case." Elaine explained, "Your eldest sister and fourth sister always wire her a lot ofmoney, but she only keeps enough for her living expenses and donates the rest to local orphanages…Still, she never brags about these things. Everyone thinks that she's from a working-class family thatlives frugally. It was only by chance that I learned that she'd been making donations."

Kingsley was somewhat touched by her words. Little did I think that Courtney, who'd always liked to getup to mischief with me when we were little, would become so warm-hearted…

Just then, a middle-aged woman holding a card walked up to them and greeted them enthusiastically,saying, "Hey, guys, wanna get a hotel room? We've got one last room with a romantic round bed lefttoday!"
