"Master, we..."
"Who are you? How dare you ambush Prince Kaisi and injure him? Do you know who Prince Kaisi's brother is?" Just as Locke began to speak, an arrogant and angry voice suddenly interrupted. It was one of the three men surrounding them, a man in a blue robe who scolded them.
"This person should be a student from Holy Light Academy. Judging by the Identity Token at his waist, he seems to have a higher status than us. Moreover, look at the wolf head embroidered on his chest; he must be a student from Greed Wolf Hall." Having previously received a detailed explanation about the academy from Sean Sterling, Reynold quickly guessed the identity of the approaching arrogant man and stepped forward to remind them.
"Hmph." With a sneer, Bu's expression turned cold as he looked at the three men surrounding him and mocked, "Why should I care about the brothers of a random cat or dog I casually dismiss? What? I see you have a dog head on your chest; could it be that you are his dog brother?"
"How dare you insult my senior Barto from Holy Light Academy Greed Wolf Hall! You must not want to live anymore." The blue-robed man with the wolf head embroidered on his chest darkened his expression, while a sharp-faced man beside him, seemingly an Outer Gate Student of Holy Light Academy, immediately rebuked.
"You look young and quite capable; you must be one of the new students selected from other countries recently. Has no one taught you that you should show respect to your seniors?"
The blue-robed man named Barto narrowed his eyes dangerously but did not attack immediately. Instead, he subtly glanced at a certain private room on the second floor of the hall before turning back to Bu with a cold reprimanding tone.
"Barto, this fellow not only injured Kathy but also insulted you. We cannot let him off easily today; this group must pay the price." The woman who had previously cried out now helped the pale-faced tall man up, her beautiful face filled with malicious resentment as she glared at Bu's group through gritted teeth.
"Airport." Bu glanced at the woman and curled his lip, too lazy to respond.
"Master, they were rude first. We were just staying in our room when suddenly the inn staff came in asking us to move out and change to another residence. When Ivan and I went out to inquire about it, this group suddenly appeared and told us to get lost. Unable to hold back his anger, Ivan got into an argument with them." Seeing that they were not willing to let it go and were turning things around on them, Locke was instantly furious.
"Oh? So there are people mixed in at this inn? Where is Elena? Why isn't she with you?" After hearing Locke's explanation, Bu understood the situation but was puzzled as to how someone of Elena's status could book an entire residence yet still have others daring enough to fight for it. Could it be that these people's backgrounds were even more powerful than Elena?
"Elena had something urgent and left first. She gave us a proof of residence from this inn; as long as we hold onto this proof, we can stay here. Then she hurriedly left." Ivan, with a swollen face, spoke indistinctly. His pitiful appearance made Bu feel both amused and exasperated.
"Elena?" The blue-robed man Barto, who had been looking gloomy as if worried about something, changed his expression upon hearing this. He looked at Bu hesitantly and asked, "The Elena you mentioned is my Headmaster of the Holy Light Academy's daughter, the Fourth Generation Silver Void student Elena Senior Sister, right?"
"And you?" Bu scoffed upon seeing that the other party seemed to show signs of fear. He felt a cold smile inside.
With a sudden thud, both Barto and Heart paused, and the crowd around them, sensing something was amiss, began to whisper among themselves. The young woman supporting Kathy trembled slightly but soon seemed to remember something, glancing at Kathy and gradually calming down.
"What is going on?" Barto shouted angrily, turning sharply to the nearby Outer Gate Students who had been making a fuss earlier. "Did I not tell you to clarify who resides here before arranging the rooms?"
Seeing this, the Outer Gate Students laughed even more mockingly. Trembling under Barto's furious gaze, the student in the black robe stammered, "Barto-senpai, I don't know about this matter either. At that time, I asked one of the managers at the inn in detail, and he told me that those living in Violet Manor are all outsiders who somehow managed to sneak in with a forged document. It was obvious they came from elsewhere."
The Outer Gate Student pointed a finger, and a path opened in the crowd. A middle-aged man, plump and pale with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, was so frightened that he trembled and fell to his knees before Barto, shaking as he pleaded, "Barto-sama, please forgive me!"
"Get out of my way!" Thinking about having possibly offended Elena made Barto furious. He cast aside his last bit of hesitation and kicked the fat man away with a loud thud, blood spraying from him as he screamed in agony.
"Barto-senpai, even though Elena-senior sister holds a high status, my brother is not someone to be trifled with at Holy Light Academy. Regardless of anything else, this group of fellows dared to ambush and injure me; I will make them pay for it. If you fear Elena-senior sister and do not wish to take action, then this matter has nothing to do with you. You can leave now, but in the future, you must give my brother an explanation."
Seeing that Barto seemed hesitant to back down, the tall man Kathy stabilized his injuries and became furious. His words carried a hint of aggressive threat as he was determined to ensure that those who had wronged him would face consequences.
Kathy's tough stance made Barto's expression darken further. However, when he saw the fat man being dragged away by the inn's staff after being kicked away, something clicked in his mind. He squinted at Kathy and began to smirk inwardly.
"Kathy, considering today's events and for Lord Kaibo's sake, I can help you out. But if it involves Elena-senior sister..." Although Barto had some suspicions forming in his mind and was gradually making a decision, he still seemed wary of Elena.
"Rest assured, Barto-senpai. If Elena-senior sister pursues this matter further, I will ask my brother to step in and settle it. With my brother's status as a third-generation Golden Mystic Student at Holy Light Academy, I'm sure no one would dare oppose him. Now please take action quickly and teach them a lesson; I want those who harmed me to suffer broken limbs."
Kathy smiled proudly, her eyes revealing an uncontrollable malice as if she could already see those who had wronged her begging for mercy at her feet.
"Heh heh heh! To want me to break your limbs? You are not worthy of such demands."
Bu was thoroughly amused by their arrogance. How could they be so bold? He had seen arrogance before but never to this extent. This so-called Barto was merely at Intermediate Level 4; even without Hong Lian stepping in, Bu could hold his own against him easily enough without needing to fight seriously.
At that moment, Bu's words drew everyone's attention instantly. Many admired his courage but shook their heads in disbelief, thinking Bu was overestimating himself by boldly speaking out against someone at Intermediate Level while possessing only Intermediate Level strength himself. Although they had seen him display remarkable power earlier, no one believed he could defeat Barto by crossing a level.
The students of Holy Light Academy are not to be underestimated. Barto, as a member of the Greed Wolf Hall, possesses strength that cannot be ignored. Even among the Intermediate Level 4 strongmen supported by various Major Forces, three of them would not stand a chance against him; he is truly one of the top existences at his level.
However, Bu has only just entered the academy, and despite having references like Sean Sterling, he is still unaware of the strength of other students within the academy. Otherwise, he would certainly treat this matter with more caution.
At this moment, in a luxurious private room on the second floor of the hall, two distinguished-looking men stood by the window. From their vantage point, they could clearly see every move made by Bu and Barto's group.
"This new batch of recruits really has quite a few reckless ones. It's surprising how arrogant they can be even when they are one level lower. I am looking forward to whether he will be taken down by Barto in the next moment," said a cold voice, belonging to a proud man dressed in a light blue robe, with a hint of indifference in his tone.
"Haha, the young are fearless! Since Lord Golan is so interested, I’ll let them run wild for a while. Give the order to disperse everyone in the inn; let them fight freely without anyone intervening. And that fat pig from earlier—break his legs and throw him out. It’s only fair to give Sister Elena an explanation," replied another man with long hair tied back with a white ribbon, his face handsome like jade. His words were clearly directed at the man in the light blue robe named Golan. After his command was given, two beautiful young women immediately left the private room to relay the message.
What seemed like a series of slow events outside actually occurred within moments after Bu's words fell. While everyone felt that Bu was overestimating himself, Barto laughed loudly, his laughter tinged with coldness.
"Who knows from which remote place this frog in a well has come? Don’t think that just because you’ve climbed up to Holy Light Academy and are trying to curry favor with Sister Elena, you’ve become someone important. Today, I will teach you a lesson on humility on behalf of Sister Elena."
As time passed and Barto felt more assured, he sneered coldly. His body suddenly shot forward like a tightly drawn bowstring released. With his hand clawed into a talon shape, he tore through the air like an eagle diving down to catch its prey. The sharp winds from his dark claws emitted piercing shrieks as they enveloped Bu and his companions, clearly intending to take them on alone without regard for their presence.
