Northern couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"First generation? Ten years ago? What are you saying, that students are being sent here deliberately? And ten years? Seriously?"

Did that man really deceive all of them?

And Gilbert, Annette, and the twins knew all about it too?

"So, you are saying they were actually sent here deliberately."

Raven responded fiercely.
