LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 90: Creep
Naturally, Fortress Three heard of Xiang Ning’s actions.
“That imbecile! He’s already beaten his opponents, so why’d he have to tie them up! This is a kidnapping!” complained Li Bu as he slammed the table, pointing at Xiang Ning on the screen.
All of the headmasters had been present to watch the events unfold, and none of them knew what to say. Qi Jiuming naturally had to protect his students, and he admittedly approved of Xiang Ning’s actions. “Your students were the ones who put themselves in this situation. Plus, there were five of them. There’s still one more person he didn’t tie up.”
The crowd’s mouths twitched. They had to admit that Xiang Ning was a slippery one to have slipped through that loophole!
“That was obviously on purpose! This is a training activity operating under Federal Law, how can you let him get away with such nonsense?!” Li Bu turned to the crowd, hoping someone would back him up. However, it was useless, because nothing serious had happened. All Xiang Ning had done was tie the students up.
“Old Li, don’t worry about the kids.” Qi Jiuming smirked. He didn’t like micromanagement. Years ago, his master had thrown him into the wilderness and his survival had been entirely up to fate! If he were unlucky, he would have died. If they all were raised under strict protection, how would they live if they were truly sent into the wilderness to hunt beasts?
The Federation understood that well. With the development of technology and the presence of masters protecting each city, humans had grown comfortable. There was a saying: death comes from being too comfortable. The beasts wouldn’t stop evolving because humans were living comfortably.
When Qi Jiuming finished, they saw Xiang Ning leading the four people into the warehouse.
“What’s going on? Why’s he bringing them inside?!” Li Bu grew unstable.
The rest of the people started frowning as well. Did they have a private grudge? Was Xiang Ning dragging them inside to beat them up?! That would indeed be inappropriate. Everyone looked at the chairman of the event, Lei Zhongyuan.Lei Zhongyuan was in a dilemma. Should he stop them? Well, Xiang Ning wasn’t in the wrong here, as he had defeated them fair and square. Should he ignore them? But Xiang Ning was being a bully, too. In the end, he could only exhale hard. “Ten minutes. If they don’t exit in ten minutes, I’ll personally contact him.” There were no cameras in the storeroom, so they couldn’t make an accurate decision. Still, that was a reasonable compromise.
Li Bu accepted the decision, since his students had provoked Xiang Ning on their own with malicious intent. It was fine for them to have a taste of their own medicine, but when the headmasters heard the angry shrieks and screams from the store room, the crowd fell silent.
“Ten minutes!” Li Bu was so angry his eyes glowed red. Those were his students! He had seen how the kid had had a smile on his face when he dragged them inside, and the smirk was wicked enough to send chills down this tier six martial artist’s back. If he didn’t stop him in time, his students could become crippled!
“This Xiang Ning is a bully! How could Marsh City have such an unethical, unreasonable student!” Li Bu slammed the table.
When Qi Jiuming heard Li Bu, all feelings of guilt were thrown out of the window and he slammed the table as well as he pointed at Li Bu. “What the hell are you talking about! Are you questioning the standard of education in my Qiling Academy?!”
“Listen to their screams! My students would never scream like that in the face of a beast! And they’ve only been in there for two minutes!” Li Bu’s skin jumped when he heard their shrieks of agony.
The other headmasters tried not to laugh, though they also wanted to know what had happened that caused the students to scream like that. They sounded pitiful.
After some thought, Lei Zhongyuan replied, “This is a training activity, anything can happen. As long as they don’t hurt each other too much, I’ll leave them be.”
Most of the headmasters nodded in assent. Years ago, when they had been in the wilderness, the beasts weren’t the only threat. It was sometimes difficult to read human minds, and the best comrades could stab you in the back when faced with great profits. The masters in this room knew that story all too well.
Li Bu wanted to say something, but could only sit back down in his seat, fuming.
......
Fury Points +66
Within the warehouse, Xiang Ning was impressed by Huang Jiasheng and the rest. They were way more resilient than Zhang Hongyu and Zhao Huatai had been. He rubbed his chin. It had been some time since they entered; after some thought, he decided to pull one last trick. The number of Fury Points to be obtained would be rewarding.
He tossed the rope on the ground. When Huang Jiasheng saw this, he sneered, “Bored already? Weren’t you having fun? You should continue whipping us!”
Xiang Ning stared at him in awe. Had he gone mad from the whipping? Or had it activated some kink?
“Hahaha, are you regretting this? You’re afraid, aren’t you? Just you wait, I’ll make you pay ten times over after this event ends!” Huang Jiasheng thought he had struck a nerve and let out a guffaw.
However, what Xiang Ning said next made Jiasheng swallow his words. “Hunting beasts must be tiring and sweaty. Why don’t I help you relax?” Xiang Ning asked, then slowly started removing Huang Jiasheng’s clothes. Having their innocence stripped away like that was worse than being killed.
Xiang Ning had a smirk on his face as he slowly stripped Jiasheng. Everyone felt goosebumps rise while Huang Jiasheng raged, “What’re you doing, don’t touch my clothes! Stop it! Ahhh!”
Fury Points +222
Fury Points +333
Fury Points +455
Xiang Ning was absolutely delighted by the string of numbers that appeared, though he wondered why there were only three figures. The other person must have already been milked dry or wasn’t angry at all. He studied all four faces and realized one of them looked somewhat excited when he began stripping Jiasheng.
Oh, no....
