Ah?
People tend to feel the urge to go to the restroom when they are extremely nervous.
The moment Fang Xin pointed at Zhang Qiang,
Zhang Qiang felt like the remnants of his five grains were about to burst out of his rear.
Yang Haosi’s death earlier had greatly shocked Zhang Qiang.
He kept thinking that Strength Talent Mangfu were truly not to be provoked.
But he never expected Fang Xin to actually challenge him to the Life-and-Death Stage.
Zhang Qiang was so scared that he froze in place.
He thought, “No!” and kept trying to make himself retreat, but in his extreme nervousness and fear, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, making it impossible to move.
Zhang Qiang’s mind was in a mess, constantly shouting in his head, “Dead legs, run!”
“Brother Qiang! Xin Ge is calling you!” Someone nearby, enjoying the spectacle, urged him.
Zhang Qiang stiffly turned his head.
He noticed that many people present were looking at him with half-smiles.
Even his previous supporters were watching him as if it were a show.
Zhang Qiang felt like his world had collapsed.
Many times, there are people who, to show off how awesome they are, will try every means to step on others, making everyone think they are amazing.
Zhang Qiang was precisely this kind of person; his targeting of Fang Xin was nothing more than an attempt to step on Fang Xin’s shoulders and make a show among the new students of the same year.
But he didn’t expect Fang Xin’s shoulders to be so difficult to step on.
The little fatty Shi Tailang chuckled, “Oi! Zhang Qiang! Xin Ge is calling you! Did your eardrums fall into the dorm room?”
Zhang Qiang’s mouth opened and closed; he stared blankly at Fang Xin on the Life-and-Death Stage, looking utterly on the verge of tears.
He wanted to speak, but his mouth opened, and his throat felt as if it had been squeezed, leaving him without any sound.
Fang Xin looked coldly at Zhang Qiang below, taking this opportunity to ‘kill the chicken to scare the monkeys’ and make all the ‘barking dogs’ in the Academy shut up, and this Zhang Qiang was a typical example of the ‘barking dog’ group.
“Come up!” Fang Xin said again.
Zhang Qiang’s face trembled; he clearly knew what awaited him if he went up, and he stiffly shook his head.
“Xin… Xin Ge, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have targeted you like that before. Please, in your magnanimity, let me go! I will never dare to treat you like this again!”
Seeing this, Shi Tailang finally felt a sense of exhilaration and took over, “Zhang Qiang, is that it? You targeted our Xin Ge every now and then, and even impersonated our Xin Ge. Just a few words and everything is fine? The Life-and-Death Stage has rules: if you don’t accept the challenge, for the next month, you have to obey the winner’s command! Whatever he tells you to do, you have to do it!”
Zhang Qiang opened his mouth, but finally gritted his teeth and said, “For the next month, I will obey Xin Ge’s command! If Xin Ge tells me to go east, I will go east!”
After saying this, Zhang Qiang completely deflated, like a doll whose air had been let out.
Fang Xin’s shoulder was suddenly patted.
Bai Mao Zai stood behind him.
“Give me that plaster-like thing!”
Fang Xin paused, then handed it over.
Zhuge Heng held the item between two fingers. “This thing isn’t the main body of the treasure, so it’s useless for you to hold onto it. Moreover, things that rely on external forces are too dependent and not very useful. However, this item is evidence, and I need to take it to the White Lotus Society and the Church to make a big scene! I have the material evidence; now I just need a witness!”
As he spoke, Zhuge Heng flicked his two fingers, and the plaster-like object floated in mid-air. Zhuge Heng’s hand disappeared into the void.
Yang Family.
Jiang Suqing saw her son being beaten to death by Fang Xin through the floating bead and immediately shrieked, her screams piercing and noisy.
“Give me back my precious son! Give me back my precious son! Didn’t you say you could kill that little bastard?” Jiang Suqing clutched the Witchcraft System elder’s clothes.
The elder’s face was grim, not daring to breathe, as the mission hadn’t been completed. Jiang Suqing fiercely scratched the elder’s face several times. “I only had that one precious son; he was the apple of my eye! You killed my precious son! I want you to go and be buried with my son too! You and that low-class trash named Fang Xin must both go and be buried with my son, you useless! You useless thing! Ah ah ah! My precious son! My Haosi darling!”
After being scratched several times, the elder said in a deep voice, “Madam, that little bastard discovered the young master cheating. Sky Shield Academy was also watching this life-and-death battle, so the matter has likely been exposed. Sky Shield Academy will definitely seize this handle! We should be thinking of countermeasures now!”
“What countermeasures? That has nothing to do with me! I just want my son! Give me back my son! My son is dead, what more does Sky Shield Academy want? My son died in their Sky Shield Academy, and they must give me an explanation! They bear a great responsibility! The Academy leaders watched my son being beaten to death without intervening! I’m going to sue them! I’m going to have my brother kill them all to be buried with my son!” Jiang Suqing was like a madwoman.
The elder said in a deep voice, “Madam, after all, it was the young master who challenged them first, and the young master also cheated…”
Jiang Suqing trembled all over, clutching the elder’s collar with both hands, staring fiercely at the elder. “If you don’t say it, and I don’t say it, who will know? You must die; only after you die can I justifiably go to Sky Shield Academy to demand an explanation for my son!”
The elder’s face changed drastically.
“Madam, I…”
Jiang Suqing’s eyes were venomous. “If you die, no one will know about my son cheating!”
As she spoke, a cold light emerged from Jiang Suqing’s spatial ring. Jiang Suqing clutched a dagger emanating an ice-blue aura, about to stab it into the elder’s heart.
But the dagger had just touched the elder’s chest.
A hand appeared out of thin air, grabbed him haphazardly a couple of times, and pulled the elder by the shoulder. The elder vanished into thin air.
Jiang Suqing stabbed into empty space and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Then she turned her head and looked around. “Who?”
The other people in the room also drew their respective treasures and vigilantly stared at the air.
The next second, that hand reappeared, took the bead from the table, and also picked up a plate of fruit from the table.
Jiang Suqing shrieked, her dagger flew out of her hand and impaled the tabletop, which immediately froze over.
Unexpectedly, that hand reappeared, picked up the dagger, weighed it, seemed to find its quality acceptable, and simply took it away.
“It’s that Bai Mao from the Ninth Division!”
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Suqing shrieked madly, “Zhuge Heng! You…”
Before she could finish, that hand reappeared and pinched Jiang Suqing’s mouth.
Jiang Suqing made muffled sounds, her eyes spitting fire, and she tried to grab the arm, but the arm disappeared into thin air again.
Immediately after, valuable items in the room were taken one by one by that hand.
It would also occasionally pinch Jiang Suqing’s screaming mouth.
Everyone in the room was helpless.
They watched as that hand moved most of the valuable items out of the room.
Jiang Suqing, disheveled, shrieked hysterically.
“I’m going to kill you all! I’m going to kill all of you to be buried with my precious son!”
The deranged Jiang Suqing grabbed a subordinate next to her.
“You! Go and kill Zhuge Heng for me! Right now!”
The subordinate froze.
“Ah? Me?
Madam, the most urgent task now is to contact Mr. Jiang and inform him of what happened here! So that the Church can prepare, and probably the White Lotus Society will also need to prepare! That Bai Mao will definitely not let go of this opportunity! He is a favored person by Elder Ye of the Ninth Division; with Elder Ye’s instruction, he will surely make a big scene!”
Jiang Suqing gradually calmed down, her body still trembling slightly from hatred. “Then spread the news from here. The Church side is easy to handle. As for the White Lotus Society, the Old Master is unaware of this matter. Once he knows the details, and learns that the White Lotus Society has been dragged into the open and secret struggles between the Church and the Sky Shield Bureau, he will definitely be furious. We must preemptively warn the Old Master before the Sky Shield Bureau takes action!”
Taking a breath, Jiang Suqing organized her words, took out her phone, and carefully made the call.
The call connected.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
The voice of the Yang Family Old Master’s personal butler came from the other end of the line. “Madam, the Old Master is not available to take calls right now!”
“Uncle Lang, I have something important to tell my father-in-law; please make sure to put the phone in his hand!”
The other end of the line said with difficulty, “Madam, I’m afraid not right now. That Bai Mao from the Ninth Division has come to cause trouble! The Old Master is dealing with it! Even the Chairman has been alarmed!”
