It was a circular structure with water flowing all around. The water canal is the natural protection for the treasury room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the centre of the hall, there is a round table with 6 seats neatly arranged in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the head of the table sat Da Vinci, the Academy Master himself. He sat with a grim face, waiting for all the peak masters to join.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the history of the Nine Lotus Academy, they never conducted a meeting for a single disciple. But now, Tony Clark really pushed them to the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite Academy Master, seated with a composed yet sharp demeanor, was the Vice Academy Master, Rutherford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also put on a cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to arrive was Ronin, the Sword Peak Master. Without wasting time, he gave a brief nod toward the Academy Master and took his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the heavy doors opened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Raising Sun Peak’s Master... Long entered with a long staff in hand, his presence steady and grounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him walked Ping, the peak of the Falling sun peak walked in a steady face. He has a smirk playing on his lips as he watched Ronin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last to arrive was Natasha... Healing Peak’s Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entrance shifted the atmosphere. She walked calmly to her seat, her expression cold, as if she already knew what this meeting was about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke immediately. For second, everyone stared at Natasha for explanation as the incident happened at her place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then— The vice academy master Rutherford leaned forward slightly, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tony Clark’s deed has caused damage to the reputation of the Nine Lotus Academy,\" he said firmly, his voice echoing across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes swept across the others before continuing, his tone growing sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That fellow is not even human. How can he violate a dying person? That lady must have felt hell even on her deathbed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words resounded inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Long tapped his staff lightly on the ground before speaking in agreement. \"Such behavior cannot be tolerated. If this spreads further, it will stain the academy’s name beyond repair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Ping nodded as well. \"Discipline must be enforced. If we overlook this, we send the wrong message.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure in the room began to build. Ronin, however, remained silent... His eyes shifted slowly toward Natasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was waiting... Waiting for her to speak. Because this— This matter belonged to the Healing Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Academy Master, Da Vinci, finally leaned forward slightly, his fingers interlocked as his gaze settled on Natasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peak Master Natasha,\" he said calmly, \"this incident occurred within your domain. What is your answer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hall fell silent... All eyes turned toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha did not respond immediately... Seconds passed... Then more. She finally lifted her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all misunderstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice added more silence to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also felt the same as everyone initially. But Tony Clark never violated the patient like all you are saying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rutherford slammed his hand lightly on the table, his patience snapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop covering Tony Clark’s ass. Are you afraid of that family or what?\" the Vice Academy Master said sharply, clearly unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha turned her head slowly with a cold look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think I’m a person who fears anyone?\" she replied, her voice cutting through the air like a blade. \"I am only speaking the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall fell silent again... No one interrupted her this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I personally inspected the patient,\" Natasha continued in a steady tone. \"In fact, she was treated for her cancer and rejuvenated completely from her death condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ronin’s expression shifted slightly as he never expected this outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rutherford frowned deeply... He was completely bewildered by the actual situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may not believe this,\" Natasha continued, \"but Tony Clark actually treated her. Even I don’t know how he did it, but she is perfectly alright now, without any cancer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of disbelief spread across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That statement— Was absurd... Impossible. And yet— It came from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for peak master Natasha, they wouldn’t have believed this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have any doubts, come with me. I will show you the lady personally to you,\" she declared in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall descended into discussion... Rutherford, still not convinced. He argued more, adding incidents at the food hall and Tony’s reputation and how his presence spoiled the Academy name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voices rose and fell as each peak master voiced their concerns, doubts, and interpretations. Some questioned Natasha’s judgment, while others remained cautious, unwilling to dismiss her words outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The debate stretched longer than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally— Da Vinci raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need to summon Tony Clark or punish him at this moment,\" the Academy Master said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he is really talented like Peak Master Natasha said, we will test him directly. If he is truly capable, we will nurture him as one of our geniuses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rutherford’s expression darkened... He clearly disliked the outcome. But— He could not argue further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no concrete evidence... Only rumors... Only sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing that could directly prove Tony’s guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well...\" Rutherford said reluctantly. \"If there is another incident about Tony, I won’t sit calm.\" He declared before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting ended without any outcome against Tony. Except Natasha, No one expected Tony will be remain unscathed after this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peak Master Natasha is the last one to leave the Punishment Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the path, Moon Goddess Hikaru was already waiting. The moment she saw Natasha, she stepped forward eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, how did it go?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, there is no action against Tony Clark,\" she said calmly. \"But I can’t guarantee his safety if this repeats again and again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned slightly with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the one who should take care of him. I still can’t believe how that idiot Kelly allowed Tony into the emergency room,\" Natasha said, her tone filled with irritation. \"Seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hikaru immediately stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you must believe me. Tony Clark is the real deal. He has the skill to treat patients. Only his method of healing is absurd, but it definitely works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hikaru continued without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not mistaken, he can even treat your assistant Emma Rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Natasha pause... Her expression changed for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emma...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doubt... Curiosity... Suspicion. All flashed across her eyes. She stared at Hikaru, trying to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha had personally seen the patient who recovered from cancer. That alone had already shaken her judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now— This.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay,\" Natasha finally said after a pause. \"Tomorrow, I will personally witness his skill. If he really has the ability to treat my assistant Emma, then I will help him rise in the Healing Tower and become the next master of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hikaru’s face lit up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Master!\" she said repeatedly before turning and running off in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha remained where she stood for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was distant. Her thoughts— Unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tony Clark...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered the name softly. She still couldn’t believe Hikaru’s words...\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-06-05T19:16:31.203Z",1,"novelbin.me","bfab2c1aa9777320274f5b0cab30cc04fd43801d5ffdeb763c850fb40b1d7b62","urban-villain-system-chapter-76","urban-villain-system-chapter-74",143,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-villain-system-cover.jpg"]
