Chapter 26: Apology

……

"I summoned the Nether Wolf Beast at the time, intending to let it join the battlefield to test it out, but the Nether Wolf Beast just stared fixedly at Lv Cheng, crouching on the ground, its whole body trembling; it seemed to want to run away but couldn't move at all, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying," the man in black reported.

"Is that so..." Ye Chang nodded distractedly.

"Is there anything else?"

"Lord Salang, you should have already noticed that brat's abnormality at the time," the man in black raised his head, somewhat agitated.

"He is clearly only an Initial Stage Mage, yet he possesses that level of physical strength, and that Magic Tool of his—the aura is unknown; perhaps there are even more secrets on him..."

"Who told you to use a Black Beast Demon?" Ye Chang asked.

"Ah?" The man in black was stunned.

"Lord Salang, I only prepared one Giant Eye Fishy Rat, and I couldn't get an accurate judgment at the time, so..."

"So, you took it upon yourself to let the Black Beast Demon ambush him?" Ye Chang narrowed her eyes, and a cold killing intent instantly filled the entire room.

"Letting a Black Beast Demon ambush an Initial Stage Mage, did you want to kill him?"

"Lord Salang, I did that to..."

"Ugh!"

Before the words could finish, a twisted shadow spread from beneath the man in black's feet, wrapping around him in an instant.

"You like Black Beast Demons?" Ye Chang stood up, looking coldly at the Black Clergy member before her.

"You like acting on your own initiative?"

"Just right, you can make up for the Cursed Beast Demon lost tonight."

"Lord Salang, spare..."

"……"

……

"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I guarantee you will spend the coming summer vacation in the hospital."

Having earned his first pot of gold in life, Lv Cheng returned home happily; just as he entered the door, he saw another man in his home.

"Wait a second!" Mo Fan hurriedly stood up.

"Old Lv! Brother Cheng! I'm here to apologize!"

Lv Cheng was stunned, "Apologize? Apologize for what?"

"What have you done to wrong me again?"

As he spoke, Lv Cheng looked at Ye Xinxia sitting to the side.

"This jerk didn't hit on you, did he?"

"No!" Ye Xinxia hurriedly denied it.

"Brother A-Cheng, Brother Mo Fan is really here to apologize, please don't lay a hand on him!"

"Really?" Lv Cheng lowered his rolled-up sleeves.

Mo Fan let out a sigh of relief.

He had almost ended up in the hospital!

He never doubted Lv Cheng's combat power, of all things!

"I'm sorry!"

Mo Fan took a deep breath, walked in front of Lv Cheng, and suddenly bowed ninety degrees.

"I misunderstood you before!"

He had previously thought that because he brought Mu Ningxue out of the Mu Clan Manor that night, his home being smashed afterward was Lv Cheng colluding with Mu Zhuoyun, including the subsequent poverty of the Mo Family.

He really didn't know these things had nothing to do with Lv Cheng!

Moreover, he didn't know that the matter of his enrollment earlier had been solved by Lv Cheng; this guy didn't say anything, and his dad didn't tell him either!

Plus, Lv Cheng would mock him from time to time, and his intimate relationship with Ye Xinxia also started after that incident, so he had always thought Lv Cheng was playing with Ye Xinxia just to take revenge on him!

This bastard didn't care about Xinxia at all!

That was what he was angry about!

He knew Ye Xinxia liked Lv Cheng very much, had liked him since she was little, but he was very worried that Lv Cheng was only with Ye Xinxia on the surface to deceive her feelings, just to take revenge on him!

"Sorry, everything before was my fault; I hope you can forgive me," Mo Fan said in a deep voice.

"If you're angry... go easy on me!"

"……"

"You call this an apology?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Come over to be beaten up by me? What kind of person do you take me for?"

Mo Fan was stunned, "I..."

"You just came empty-handed?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Uh..." Mo Fan looked embarrassed.

"Well, Brother Cheng, you know, I'm poor..."

"Poor?" Lv Cheng walked closer and pointed at the Little Loach Pendant on Mo Fan's chest.

"I think this thing is pretty good; if you give this thing to me, I'll forgive you."

"This..." Mo Fan was stunned, caught in a dilemma.

It was the Little Loach Pendant that brought him to this world, and he could feel the extraordinariness of this item; perhaps it really was some peerless treasure, but...

"It seems you don't have much sincerity either," Lv Cheng shook his head.

"Forget it..."

"Wait!" Mo Fan hardened his heart, tore the pendant directly from his chest, and shoved it into Lv Cheng's hand.

"I'll give it!"

"Really giving it?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

He had actually underestimated Mo Fan's determination.

It seemed Mo Jiaxing had truly told this guy the whole truth.

"Giving it!" Mo Fan looked heartbroken.

"Once you take this thing, you can't be angry with me anymore!"

"..."

"You are much more sensible than that big block of ice." Lv Cheng smiled and returned the pendant to Mo Fan.

"Alright, knowing you're wrong is enough; I don't want your things."

Your wife has already been snatched by me, how could I have the heart to lay a hand on you?

Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.

In the future, he still has to rely on this guy to advance the plot.

"You really forgive me?" Mo Fan was somewhat incredulous.

Before coming here, he had already prepared himself to be beaten into the hospital by this guy for a week!

"What adult would get angry with a child?" Lv Cheng sat down.

Actually, he had many opportunities to clarify the misunderstandings Mo Fan had about him over the years, but he had no interest; after all, the deeper the misunderstanding, the more guilt there would be when the truth finally came to light.

Originally, he had planned to wait until graduation to clarify, continuing to guide the misunderstanding to deepen over the next two years, or continuing to deepen it, accumulating strength, until reaching a critical point to resolve the misunderstanding, and then, he would successfully harvest a protagonist filled with guilt toward him.

He hadn't known what his talent was like before; if it were average, he would naturally have had to cling to Mo Fan's thigh.

And he wasn't the type of person who could lower his face to fawn over others, so the best method was to make Mo Fan feel guilty toward him and have Mo Fan take the initiative to fawn over him.

The methods might be a bit despicable, but in this dangerous world, without knowing what his future path held, doing his best to increase his own protective amulets was the only thing he could do.

Even regarding Ye Xinxia, he had initially come for the Parthenon Soul's Resurrection Spell.

Sounds very shameless, right?

But what else could he do?

When he first arrived in this world, knowing he had parents who were High-level Mages, he wasn't like this either; at the beginning, he was also an innocent and simple child, and he was also sincere.

But just like in his previous life, this time, his parents had once again abandoned him and disappeared!

From then on, everything he did was filled with calculation!

After all, in this damn world where one could end up dead without a complete corpse if not careful, he didn't want to live his life over again only to die at some point just like a roadside NPC!

He wanted to live! He didn't want to die!

That was why he was willing to let the Demon out.

Caution wasn't because he was so worried about the world; it was because he was worried that the demons would kill him after leaving Hell.

He had no choice but to be cautious...
