Chapter 238: Coercion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Jun turned his head to look at Lu Yu, wanting to ask Lu Yu’s opinion. Lu Yu turned his head the other way, pretending to look at the scenery.

The choice was in Jiang Jun’s hands. If Jiang Jun chose to forgive them, Lu Yu would not hesitate to take Lu Shan and Lu Shui away after all this ended.

Entrusting his children to the care of someone with the compassion of a saint was equivalent to inviting his enemies right into the house to hurt them.

Jiang Jun was caught in a difficult position. At this point, the other teachers were also speaking up for the female teacher. In the end, looking at these people who were begging for mercy at his feet, Jiang Jun thought again of all the unfair treatment he had suffered in the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School all this while.

His eyes instantly turned red with indignation and he said, “I’m sorry. I refuse to forgive you!”

When she heard these words, the female teacher’s body froze. She felt as if her body was struck by lightning. After a moment’s hesitation, she went crazy completely. Baring her teeth and claws, she yelled, “Jiang Jun, don’t go too far in whatever you do!”

Zheng Xiaochuan had never seen such brazen, shameless people. He kicked her to the ground. And Tan Lan also fired the female teacher and the others on the spot.

As Song Guo was a member of the Song family, he was someone Tan Lan could not afford to offend. Therefore, he only removed him from the team leader position.

“Young Master Zheng, are you satisfied?” After doing all this, Tan Lan looked like he was clamoring for credit and reward as he asked Zheng Xiaochuan obsequiously.

“Hmm. I am satisfied, but the matter is not over yet.” Zheng Xiaochuan nodded, and then looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu did not expect this hostage to help him at such a time. His opinion of this profligate son changed substantially.

When he saw Lu Yu stepping forward. Tan Lan felt a headache coming on. He was thinking how could there still be problems? He had chosen to compromise on account of the Zheng family’s Young Master Zheng. What background did this person have?

“My friend, may I ask what else you have to resolve?” Tan Lan lowered his posture substantially, but his tone was haughty.

According to the information received, although this person in front of him was a Great Grand Master, he was nonetheless just a Great Grand Master with no status or remarkable background. He hoped that this guy would be more sensible, otherwise Tan Lan could find a thousand ways to get back at him.

“I will hereby identify myself first. My name is Lu Yu, Advisor to the Gamma

Military Zone, Deputy Major General of the First Military Unit and concurrent Captain of the 4th Battalion. At the same time, I am about to be conferred the title of a Count soon.” Lu Yu listed out his credentials in a nonchalant manner.

Each layer of identity gave a big shock to those present, particularly the final one of the Count which made everyone gasp.

All these identities were layered on this one person like a cluster of haloes. At this moment, Lu Yu became incredibly dazzling in their eyes.

The title of a Count was an average title in the list of nobility that the federal government conferred, but, combined with those layers of military identities before it, it made people stand in awe instantly.

These must be the military merits he earned in outstanding war efforts accomplished in numerous bloody battles with the Fearsome Beasts.

In this era where Fearsome Beasts ran rampant, the identity of a soldier was an incomparably revered one. It was the symbol of a hero!

With such dazzling multiple identities, a made-up fake identity was not a possibility. Otherwise, the federal government’s existence was as good as decoration.

Compared to other people’s shock, Tan Lan’s whole body went numb. He cursed and swore in his heart. The presence of a Young Master Zheng alone was more than enough for him to handle. Now, there was another Count standing before him. He would have to continue to grovel!

He began to have serious doubts about whether he should have stepped outside his house at all today.

Tan Lan’s tone became much more humble and he said, “Honorable Count, may

I ask what else you need?”

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, revealing a soldier’s unique tough and brutal temperament, making everyone present gape and stand in awe.

He then said in an icy tone, “I entrusted my son and daughter to Mr. Jiang’s care previously, hoping that they would receive better educational resources and living environment at your school. But I learned later that my son and daughter have been treated extremely unfairly at your school.”

Tan Lan was so scared that his whole body began quivering!

The son and daughter of a senior officer from a military zone had been treated unfairly at his school! If this matter were to spread out, it would deal a great blow to the reputation of Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School!

In this post-apocalyptic era of the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, the rules and social order of the past were overturned and the bloody laws of the jungle ruled above all. However, in the sphere of teaching and education, they still maintained a modicum of decorum.

Education had always been the only way for the sons and daughters of poor families to be able to advance in society and get ahead. Now that the school had been exposed to have engaged in acts of injustice, it was bound to trigger a great public outcry.

In addition, the ones who had received unfair treatment were the son and daughter of a military zone’s senior officer. What would other people think?

A hero fought Fearsome Beasts to the death in some no man’s land to protect humankind, yet his own son and daughter were unfairly treated behind his back. This would certainly trigger an astronomically furious public debate.

At that time, it would be a small matter if the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School was closed down. The worst that could happen was that he might even lose his life!

“Which fucking bastard did this? I will skin him alive once I find out!” Tan Lan was already cursing and swearing at the as yet unknown perpetrator and all his ancestors before him.

Following that, he effected an even more servile attitude and inquired, “May I ask who are your son and daughter, Honorable Count?”

Lu Yu replied, “Lu Shan and Lu Shui.”

When he heard these two names, even Song Guo, with his identity as a direct descendant of the Song family, was scared out of his wits. This was because he was one of the participants in this matter.

Soon, Lu Shan and Lu Shui were summoned. The two looked at Lu Yu with timid faces. They were delighted but suspected that they might be mistaken. After carefully checking once more, they dashed towards Lu Yu joyously.

“Dad! Why are you here? Tell me, did you cause trouble?” Lu Shan saw the big battle that had taken place, and suddenly recalled that Zhao Jie had said that someone was causing trouble. His heart pounded furiously in apprehension as he inquired of his father like a chiding adult.

“You brat! Where did you learn to talk like that?” Lu Yu gave Lu Shan’s head a knock and scolded him with a smile.

“Dad, Brother has always been like that in school. He annoys me to death!” Lu Shui muttered in a soft voice.

Lu Yu, who had spent so much time fighting and scheming in Lunan City, thoroughly cherished this rare heartwarming scene. However, there were more important things to do at the moment.

Compared to their previous state in Lunan City, Lu Shan and Lu Shui’s faces had become more sallow and their bodies seemed to exude an air of frailty. They must have suffered a lot of bullying in the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School.

Lu Yu’s eyes instantly turned sharp and fierce as he asked, “Lu Shan, Lu Shui, you two tell me honestly. Are you being bullied here?”

Lu Shui suddenly began stammering and said, “No… I’m doing very well here.

The teachers are very dedicated, and the classmates are united and friendly.

We…”

Lu Yu’s face became even more ominous. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that such words were only uttered by force of circumstances when the speaker had been threatened.. Thus, Lu Yu changed tack and asked, “Tell Father, are you two being threatened?”
