Chapter 92: I Actually Accepted Money from the Long Xu Ban; I Am Guilty!

~9 min read 1,606 words

"My heavens... the Mad Shark really kicked a steel plate this time, and not just any steel plate—a titanium alloy one!"

"So satisfying! These bastards usually strut around with power, but who'd have thought they'd end up like this!"

"I never expected to run into the National Team here. Those gauntlets are so cool..."

"They deserve it! Evil people are always ground down by other evil people. The Mad Shark Guild is probably going to lose a layer of skin!"

The surrounding onlookers were each so excited their faces turned bright red.

Their eyes, fixed on the members of the Mad Shark Guild, were filled with schadenfreude.

Just then, the crowd in the distance parted once more.

A middle-aged man in a suit, drenched in sweat, came running over.

He was the Vice President of the Mad Shark Guild.

He had been staying in the rear to hold the line and drink tea, but hearing the commotion ahead, he ran as if he might lose his shoes.

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Before the Vice President could run close, he slid on his knees, stopping right in front of Xu Wenchang.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his knees, he plastered a sycophantic smile on his face:

"This... this Commander! This is completely a misunderstanding!"

"These few blind dogs failed to recognize Taishan and offended everyone. They deserve to die! Truly deserve to die!"

As he spoke, he stood up, turned his head, and delivered a fierce slap to the bald, muscular man.

"Slap!"

That slap was delivered with full force, knocking two of the bald man's teeth flying.

"Why don't you hurry and apologize to the Commander and all the students!"

the Vice President roared.

The bald, muscular man covered his swollen face, crying out incoherently:

"Mistake! I made a mistake! Spare my life..."

Xu Wenchang watched all of this coldly, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

He withdrew the suffocating pressure, and the Heaven-Shaking Dragon Divine Gauntlet in his hand dissolved into a streak of light.

"Take your people and get lost."

The Vice President felt as if he had been granted a reprieve, kowtowing repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, yes! We're leaving right now! Leaving right now! We will never appear before you again!"

Having said that, he kicked the guild members, whose courage had long since been shattered, and they scrambled away from the scene.

Their wretched appearance had none of the arrogant, domineering posture of the local tyrants they usually displayed.

A thunderous round of applause and cheers erupted from the surroundings.

"Well done! This is what you call evil reaping evil!"

"So satisfying! Let's see if the Mad Shark Guild dares to be so arrogant in the future!"

"It has to be our National Team. If they don't act, fine, but when they do act, it's with overwhelming force!"

"Just now, that single word 'get lost' made my scalp go numb. So domineering!"

"Exactly, exactly. This kind of cancer should have been eradicated long ago. Today is truly gratifying!"

Watching the people of the Mad Shark Guild scatter in panic, the onlookers erupted into cheers, with some even wanting to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Han Mengqing, however, pouted and stuffed the badge back into her pocket:

"Teacher Xu, why let them go?"

"This bunch of bad guys has surely committed many crimes. They should be arrested or beaten up severely!"

Xu Wenchang turned around, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Little Han, although we possess special privileges, these privileges are for protection, not for vigilante justice."

"If I slaughtered them here today, no one would dare say anything, but what would be the difference between us and them?"

Speaking of this, Xu Wenchang narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone becoming profound:

"Moreover, letting them go does not mean letting them off the hook."

"Once you finish clearing the Temple Team Fuben, I will report to the Long Wei Army and notify the relevant departments."

"As for them... not a single one will escape."

After hearing this, Han Mengqing nodded, as if understanding yet not quite:

"Oh... then I feel relieved!"

Lin Mo stood aside and smiled.

He also agreed with Xu Wenchang's approach.

In this world, possessing power indeed allows one to do as they please.

With Xu Wenchang's strength, crushing this group of hooligans from the Mad Shark Guild would be simpler than crushing an ant.

But they represent the Long Xu Ban, the face of the state machinery.

If they slaughtered them here today, leaving rivers of blood, it would certainly be momentarily satisfying, but once this matter spread, the nature of it would change.

How would the public view it?

They would think the Long Xu Ban was a group of executioners possessing special privileges who could arbitrarily deprive others of life, rather than protectors.

Once fear outweighed awe, order would collapse.

Furthermore, for this group of bullies who usually strutted around with power, death was too quick.

Stripping them of everything and letting them spend the rest of their lives in prison was the most cruel punishment for them.

Lin Mo turned around, walked over to Ajie, who was still in a daze, and extended his hand.

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?"

Ah Jie stared at the youth before him, completely stunned.

He gazed blankly at Lin Mo.

He never expected that a momentary act of kindness would save his life in such a desperate situation!

It even allowed him to meet these great figures standing in the clouds!

From childhood to adulthood, the person Ah Jie admired most was the Dragon Guard, and the place he longed for most was the Long Xu Ban.

In his heart, those wearing the golden dragon badges were heroes who protected the nation, existences as untouchable as gods.

And now, the god in his heart stood before him, smiling and extending a hand.

Ah Jie trembled as he reached out his mud-covered hand.

Suddenly, a strong sense of inferiority surged in his heart.

"G-Great... Great Lord, my hands are dirty, don't get yours dirty..."

Ah Jie's voice trembled with excitement, and he subconsciously tried to pull his hand back.

Lin Mo didn't care about such things; he grabbed his wrist and forcefully pulled him up from the ground.

"If hands are dirty, they can be washed; if the heart is dirty, it can never be cleaned."

Lin Mo patted Ah Jie's shoulder and smiled:

"In my opinion, your hands are ten thousand times cleaner than the hearts of that group just now."

Ah Jie shuddered all over.

He raised his head, his eyes instantly turning red.

"G-Great... Great Lord..."

"Don't call me Great Lord; it sounds strange."

Lin Mo waved his hand, his tone casual and gentle: "My name is Lin Mo, just an ordinary student."

"O-Ordinary student?"

Ah Jie's mouth twitched.

If you are an ordinary student, then what are we?

At this moment, Han Mengyao also walked over, she sheathed her long spear and said calmly:

"I am Han Mengyao."

Chu Lingxuan said somewhat shyly: "My name is Chu Lingxuan."

Han Mengqing proudly lifted her chin: "This Young Lady is Han Mengqing, remember it, we are the... uh, F4 of this year's Long Xu Ban!"

"L-Long... Long Xu Ban..."

Hearing these three words, Ah Jie felt his head buzzing.

"I... I actually rented a car for students of the Long Xu Ban? And... and even took your money?"

Ah Jie looked full of regret and panic, wishing he could slap himself twice:

"I am guilty!"

Seeing Ah Jie like this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"Enough, don't say that, your car was fine, just the brakes were a bit exciting."

"Pfft."

Han Mengqing couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

The next moment, she glanced at the injuries on their bodies.

Ah Jie and his friends were now bruised and battered, some with dislocated arms, looking utterly miserable.

"Oh my, you've all been beaten into pig heads! So pitiful."

Han Mengqing waved the staff in her hand, "Watch this Young Lady's instant full-health healing spell!"

Ah Jie and the others heard this and immediately became terrified, waving their hands repeatedly:

"No no no! No need! Our minor injuries are fine with just some medicine, how could we waste your mana?"

"Stop talking nonsense! This Young Lady will heal whoever she wants to heal!"

Han Mengqing gave them no chance to refuse and sharply tapped her staff.

Buzz—!

An extremely dense emerald green pillar of light enveloped the group.

"Aaaaaah—!!!!"

"Holy crap—!!!"

Heart-wrenching screams instantly rang out.

A few short seconds later, the light dissipated.

The injuries on Ah Jie and the others were completely healed.

But the group was covered in sweat, their eyes vacant.

Ah Jie gasped for air, looking terrified, "In that instant just now... I seemed to see my great-grandmother waving at me from across the river..."

Seeing this scene.

Han Mengyao and Chu Lingxuan couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Mo also found it hard to suppress his amusement.

This little Han's skill is strong, but truly not something an ordinary person can endure.

Just then, Xu Wenchang walked over.

"Enough, since the injuries are healed, let's set off; the coordinates are very close to us."

"Alright! Let's move out!"

Han Mengqing shouted.

Lin Mo glanced at Ah Jie beside him and smiled:

"Your Team Fuben coordinates should be up ahead too, right? Shall we go together?"

Ah Jie froze for a moment, then nodded heavily:

"Mm! Thanks, Boss Lin!"

He quickly caught up, his gaze resolute.

As if so long as he followed behind this youth, he would fear nothing.
