Three people approached the private room. The one in the middle was a middle-aged man, who appeared dignified and was clearly a person of status and wealth.
The other two were familiar faces.
Xia Yan?
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
The other two were his uncle and nephew, who had been beaten up yesterday.
They seem to have recovered well!
Fang Si also realized something was amiss and stepped forward. Her powerful aura commanded attention.
Upon hearing this, Wu Li and Xia Yan's expressions changed.
Despite the anger in their eyes, they remained silent.
Clearly, they were not the ones in charge today.
"Actually, it's all just a misunderstanding."
Wu Tianchen spoke, a gentle smile on his face.
"My nephew and brother were ignorant. I apologize to everyone here!"
He then bowed to everyone.
"Brother!"
"Uncle!"
Xia Yan and the other man clenched their fists, believing they had caused Wu Tianchen to be humiliated.
"Since you, as the elder, have apologized, we will reluctantly accept."
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "If there's anything else, just say it."
He didn't believe that the other party had come in person to apologize after offering five million.
"Chen Shu, you've won first place on the Dou Ling rankings. Your talent is undeniable!"
Wu Tianchen said lightly, "Coincidentally, my nephew Xia Yan also has some talent and wishes to befriend you!"
"To bury the hatchet?"
Chen Shu calmly replied, "There's no need for friendship. As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't hit him without reason."
Fang Si added, "If he harbors any ill intentions, then don't blame me for beating him every time I see him! Until he's beaten to death!"
Wu Tianchen's expression froze. Their words caught him off guard; they weren't playing by the rules at all.
"You?!"
Xia Yan clenched his fists, unable to suppress his anger.
Wu Tianchen patted Xia Yan's shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then said with a smile, "Then thank you, Chen Shu!"
Even though they couldn't become friends, as long as they weren't enemies, it was fine.
Wu Tianchen continued, "Also, I have another request: I hope you all will not interfere in our family matters in the future!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Xia Bing in the private room.
Clearly, Wu Tianchen understood that the conflict had originated because of Xia Bing.
He had not only specially rewarded five million, but had also personally apologized, giving Chen Shu ample face.
He assumed the other party would not turn against Qingmiao Company for the sake of a classmate.
Although Xia Bing and Xia Yan were siblings, their conflict was irreconcilable. He could only ask outsiders not to get involved.
"What do you mean family matters? Xia Bing is part of our special training class!"
Chen Shu said passionately.
"With our class advisor being so protective, do you think he'll stand by and do nothing? If anyone dares to bully Xia Bing, he'll bury you first!"
After speaking, Chen Shu retreated gracefully, becoming like a passerby and remaining silent.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched, and his forehead creased.
"You've pulled me into this with just one sentence!"
"Xia Bing is my student. The three of you, please leave,"
Shen Wushuang had no choice but to step forward, speaking with a smile, his intention clear.
Wu Tianchen frowned, not moving, merely standing in place.
To resolve the conflict, the company had paid tens of millions of Hua Xia currency, with five million going to the Dou Ling arena and five million to Chen Shu.
He had even personally apologized with Xia Yan and the other.
But the outcome left him extremely dissatisfied!
"Are you gentlemen going a bit too far?"
Wu Tianchen's expression was calm, but his eyes held a hint of anger.
A teacher and student from a school were showing no respect to the Wu family.
If not for his apprehension of the girl in the middle, he would have already lost his temper.
Fang Si said lightly, "We accept your apology. Consider the five million as protection money!"
Her meaning was clear: they would only agree not to actively seek trouble with Xia Yan.
"Demanding protection fees from my Wu family in Daxing City?"
Wu Tianchen sneered, his eyes narrowing, and said, "Just based on you?!"
"No?"
Fang Si's expression turned cold. She flicked her right hand, and a silver armband flew out.
Wu Tianchen, unsure of its significance, extended his right hand and caught it steadily.
When he saw the armband clearly, his expression changed drastically.
The words "Yulong" were dazzling, like a heavy hammer, shocking the hearts of the Wu family trio.
"You're from Yulong Guard?!"
Wu Tianchen's expression was extremely unsightly, a hint of terror in his eyes.
The golden armband of the Yulong Guard signified a formal member, who could mobilize local government forces and the Zhen Ling Bureau, holding an exceptionally high status.
The silver armband, however, belonged to an intern, but as long as the individual was willing, they could steadily become a Yulong Guard.
The lowest level was the bronze armband, belonging to peripheral personnel, who had to undergo numerous assessments and selections to have a chance to become a Yulong Guard.
"Is there a problem now?"
Fang Si asked. As a genius from the Hua Xia Academy, it was only natural for her to receive a silver armband.
As long as she became a Silver-level Beast Tamer, she could directly become a formal Yulong Guard.
The reason she returned to Nanjang City early this year was due to a Yulong Guard mission.
With the arrival of new spatial rifts, Yulong Guards were needed to deal with ferocious beasts that crossed over.
With Fang Si's strength, she could hunt Black Iron-level Lords independently.
Wu Tianchen hadn't expected to encounter a Yulong Guard,
especially one so young. He almost immediately thought of her origin from the Hua Xia Academy.
Neither the Hua Xia Academy nor the Yulong Guard were families that the Wu family could afford to offend.
"I apologize, it was my oversight!"
Wu Tianchen's expression was full of apology, his previous anger completely dissipated.
He respectfully returned the armband to Fang Si with both hands and then left with his nephew and uncle in a rather hasty manner.
Everyone looked at Fang Si with envy. With the Hua Xia Academy and the Yulong Guard, no one dared to offend her!
Shen Wushuang was also surprised. No wonder Fang Si said she would be a Yulong Guard for a while after graduation; she had already obtained intern status.
"Amazing, Sister Fang Si!"
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali crowded around, continuously admiring the armband.
"Sister, when can you get us one?"
Zhang Dali asked, as it was much more useful than an ID card.
Chen Shu looked on with envy but didn't speak. Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself!
He silently opened his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Are you the one who makes certificates?"
The group looked over, wondering what Chen Shu was up to.
Fang Si, however, had a faint premonition of something bad.
Chen Shu said excitedly, "Get me an armband, a golden one, with 'Yulong' on it! Money is no object!"
A roar came from the other end of the phone:
"Get lost! Are you insane?! Those are exclusive armbands for the Yulong Guard. Do you know that's illegal?"
"No, I saw an advertisement saying you can handle any certificate?"
*Beep beep beep~~~*
"How rude!"
Chen Shu shook his head and put his phone away.
Silence fell over the room. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Shu.
Trying to get a fake certificate, especially for the Yulong Guard, right in front of everyone. You're really not afraid of death!
