Chapter 309 - 120: Magnanimity of a Great Nation, Angel Michael

Chen Yu replied with a calm expression.

"How can a great nation like Great Xia have someone as ill-mannered as you? You speak of the magnanimity of a great power, yet you show no open-mindedness at all. Sir, you must punish him severely! Otherwise, you’re just letting Great Xia embarrass itself."

A director from one of the Western academies spoke up again.

Well, look at that. A classic case of moral blackmail!

SLAP—!

But the moment the words left his mouth, the crisp sound of a slap echoed. The Western academy director’s body spun like a top as he was sent flying.

"PFFT..."

Blood and teeth sprayed from his mouth as he slammed heavily onto the ground.

Seeing this, the entire crowd fell silent once again.

’Has this guy lost his mind?’

’He even dares to hit an academy director?!’

’This is completely insane!’

"You son of a..."

The slapped director’s face was flushed crimson, his rationality instantly consumed by rage.

To be slapped by a student in public... this was like grinding the academy’s face into the dirt.

"Oh, I’m sorry. You’re from a great nation too, aren’t you? Surely you have at least this much magnanimity?"

Chen Yu spoke, offering an apology.

"You... PFFT!"

Overcome with rage, the fallen director spat out another mouthful of blood.

This time, however, it was from sheer anger.

Chen Yu turned to the other academy director with a smile. "Director, how about it? Should I apologize to you, too?"

Chen Yu’s smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and he seemed perfectly polite. But seeing that spring-breeze smile, the director couldn’t help but shudder.

’This person doesn’t play by the rules at all.’

He glanced at his colleague on the ground, who had coughed up blood from rage, and forcibly suppressed his own anger.

"That’s enough, Chen Yu." At this point, the man with the long hair and sunglasses finally spoke.

"Sir, I’ve already apologized. I didn’t get a response, but I think they’ve probably forgiven me," Chen Yu said with a straight face.

’Forgiven?’

The crowd looked at the bleeding, injured director, whose face was swollen like a pig’s head and whose eyes looked like they were about to shoot fire.

’You call that being forgiven?!’

’This kid is completely lawless...’

Seeing Chen Yu’s "sincere" expression, the long-haired man in sunglasses felt a twitch.

He was biased in favor of Chen Yu, but some things couldn’t be taken too far.

After all, personnel from the other academies were watching.

’If they weren’t here, it would be a different story...’

"You broke the rules and injured people. How about this: compensate each of these two directors with one hundred Level 1 Spirit Pearls, and we’ll consider this matter closed," the long-haired man said to Chen Yu in a low voice.

’One hundred Level 1 Spirit Pearls as compensation?’

The two academy directors looked at the long-haired man in sunglasses, their faces etched with disbelief.

’A hundred Level 1 Spirit Pearls? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?!’

’Is this compensation?’

’This is a downright insult!’

’For people of their status and power, could one hundred Level 1 Spirit Pearls even be called compensation?’

’This is blatant favoritism!!’

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed for a moment as he looked at the long-haired man, but then it smoothed out. "You’re right, Sir. However, I don’t have any Spirit Pearls on me. How about this, you two? I’ll owe you for now. I’ll definitely pay you back once I have them. I, Chen Yu, am a man of my word and will never go back on a debt."

"..."

Hearing this, the crowd stared at Chen Yu, speechless.

’Damn, he’s just writing them an IOU!’

’He’s not even willing to spare the change to shoo away a beggar.’

’Pay you back later? You’d have to be a fool to believe that.’

The long-haired man in sunglasses looked at Chen Yu, a headache coming on.

’With Chen Yu’s net worth, is it possible he doesn’t even have a hundred Level 1 Spirit Pearls on him?’

’He purely, simply doesn’t want to pay!’

’But Chen Yu had already said his piece. What else could be done?’

’If they didn’t agree, there was no guarantee this guy wouldn’t just grab the two directors and grind them into the dirt.’

’Rules were rules, but if Chen Yu decided to make a move, even he wouldn’t be able to stop him.’

’He’s too fast!’

"Sir, their silence means they’ve agreed. Yes, let’s listen to you and just drop the matter. Ah, what can I say? We of Great Xia are just so magnanimous."

Chen Yu sighed and said with a completely serious face.

Everyone: "..."

’Magnanimous...’

’He beat the hell out of someone until they look like a ghost and he calls that magnanimous?!’

’What a "magnanimous" guy, my ass!’

’And he calls it a silent agreement? Their glares clearly say they want to hack him to pieces...’

"’This living King of Hell is not to be provoked. We must avoid him at all costs...’ The academy directors all looked at Chen Yu, the same thought rising in their minds.

’With that kind of power, he’s definitely not someone to mess with.’

’Two peak Level 8 Elite Students were almost powerless against him. That level of strength is just monstrous!’

"Take them away to be treated."

The long-haired man in sunglasses was silent for a moment before waving his hand. Then, designated personnel came forward and carried away the few people lying on the ground.

Looking at the damaged building, the long-haired man in sunglasses felt another twitch.

’Everything was fine before Chen Yu arrived. How did it turn into this so quickly...’

’His cultivation is too low, so he gets targeted. *Sigh*. What a bunch of pig-brains. Do they really think someone sent here could be a simple character?!’

...

"Interesting. I like this man."

Deep within the estate, in a villa, two figures stood watching from a top-floor window. One of them, a blond man, spoke with a smile.

The man in the suit beside him felt a twitch upon hearing this.

Then, the blond man looked at the man in the suit. "I’ll have to trouble you then, Brother Xu."

"Not at all. It’s a small matter. I’ll make the arrangements," the man in the suit replied with a smile.

The blond man nodded lightly.

...

The disturbance temporarily subsided.

After this incident, Chen Yu became the center of everyone’s attention.

They arrived at another building on the estate. Aside from the few who had been taken for treatment, everyone else was there.

The main purpose was still for everyone to get acquainted.

After all, when heading to a dangerous place like the Astral Realm, the students would have to cooperate.
