The Zhao family was a family of martial artists with a history of a thousand years.One of their ancestors was a Martial King and led the family to rise on a level-three planet.
However, the family declined later on, and they had to return to Earth for another opportunity to rise.
When night fell, Zhao Tianwu, the patriarch of the Zhao family, was sitting in the living room next to Princ.i.p.al Zhong Li, who was smiling.
"Old Zhao, as a longtime friend, I"m truly sorry for what happened to Xunwen," Zhong Li said in embarra.s.sment.
Zhao Tianwu said angrily, "Old Zhong, it was for our friends.h.i.+p that I sent Xunwen to your No. 11 High School, but what became of him? A random guy ambushed my grandson, and to make me even angrier, you ruled that he was the winner. You… You…"
The more Zhao Tianwu talked, the more furious he became. He wouldn"t complain if Zhao Xunwen had been defeated in the arena.
However, his grandson"s nuts were kicked before the game started, and his enemy was announced the winner. He certainly couldn"t swallow it.
Zhong Li said quickly, "Don"t get agitated, Old Zhao. I"m here to tell you what happened exactly."
Zhao Tianwu took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The princ.i.p.al opened his mouth again. "Your grandson"s opponent was not a random guy. He"s actually w.a.n.g Tianyi"s only son."
"What?"
Zhao Tianwu stood up in shock. "Why is the Mighty Commander"s son on Earth? Shouldn"t he be in the Royal Academy?"
"It"s too complicated for me to explain right now. All you need to know is that Senior Su Mu is w.a.n.g Tianyi"s teacher, which decides his att.i.tude toward w.a.n.g Hao," Zhong Li reminded him.
Zhao Tianwu was in deep thought. He had read w.a.n.g Hao"s files before. w.a.n.g Hao"s Perfect gait alone was attractive enough for Su Mu.
Also, considering how close Su Mu and w.a.n.g Tianyi were, w.a.n.g Hao was definitely a blood grandson in Su Mu"s eyes.
"Do you understand my ruling now?" Zhong Li smiled.
Zhao Tianwu sighed. The Zhao family wouldn"t have dared to challenge Su Mu even in their prime, much less now. What else could he do except hold back his fury?
"Old Zhao, Senior Su is not as petty as you think. As compensation, I can recommend five students to Empyrean North University." The princ.i.p.al chuckled.
"Are you saying that my grandson can go to Empyrean North University?" Zhao Tianwu almost jumped in excitement.
The princ.i.p.al nodded and said carefully, "Yes, but you have to answer my question frankly."
Rather scared, Zhao Tianwu asked, "What is it?"
"Someone attempted to kill w.a.n.g Hao last night. Did you send the a.s.sa.s.sin?" The princ.i.p.al stared at Zhao Tianwu.
"No, absolutely not!" Zhao Tianwu shook his head quickly. "You know that I never intervene in the matters of the juniors. Also, I"ve been waiting for your explanation."
Observing him for a while, the princ.i.p.al nodded. "Got it. Ask your grandson to take care of himself and not to miss the new semester."
Then, Zhong Li rose and bid him farewell.
"Old Zhong, thank you!" Zhao Tianwu said.
The princ.i.p.al shook his head. "You can thank me when your son graduates again under my watch."
"When he graduates again?"
Briefly stunned, Zhao Tianwu watched Zhong Li disappear into the dark night. He soon understood what the guy meant. "That old man is truly lucky."
…
At this moment, Lin Yang, Lin Tingbai"s father, was having tea with Gao Xiong, Gao Damei"s father.
Gao Xiong asked softly, "Old Lin, did you send an a.s.sa.s.sin to kill w.a.n.g Hao?"
Stiff, Lin Yang looked at Gao Xiong"s emotionless face. He did not know how Gao Xiong learned of it, but he knew that he couldn"t fool anyone anymore.
"Yes!" Lin Yang nodded and acknowledged it.
After a brief silence, Gao Xiong said, "You are smart enough to confess. I"ll get it handled for you, but remember, even I cannot touch w.a.n.g Hao."
Lin Yang"s pupils constricted. He suspected that his ears deceived him.
Gao Xiong was from a level-four planet, and the Gao family was a n.o.ble family with a terrifying number of experts.
Even though Gao Xiong was only a distant branch of the Gao family, the connection was enough to support his power on Earth.
However, Gao Xiong said that he couldn"t touch w.a.n.g Hao?
"Why is that?" Lin Yang asked curiously.
Gao Xiong asked softly, "Because someone has got w.a.n.g Hao"s back, someone that even my family does not want to p.i.s.s off."
Lin Yang"s pupils constricted again. He was shocked by the news. Even the Gao family dare not touch him? Was it not a joke?
Gao Xiong sipped the tea. "There are plenty of n.o.bles in the Universal Federation, but only a few of them are truly managing the country. Only they are the real n.o.bles. The other n.o.bles are nothing in front of them."
Lin Yang ventured, "Is the one behind w.a.n.g Hao a super expert?"
Gao Xiong smiled bitterly. The princ.i.p.al of Empyrean North University was horrifying not because he was strong but because he had many students.
If anything happened, he could summon a bunch of people with a text message.
By then, even the top n.o.bles had to consider what was best for themselves.
Lin Yang swallowed and sweated. Why on earth did he infuriate w.a.n.g Hao, who was backed by a super expert?
"There"s no need to be anxious. I"ll take care of it for you." Gao Xiong waved his hand.
Lin Yang nodded and batted his chest, promising that it would not happen again.
"After Damei and Tingbai are married, I"ll pull all my strings and get them into Martial South Universe, one of the Four Focused Colleges." Gao Xiong suddenly crushed the teacup, coldness s.h.i.+ning from his eyes. "However, if your son wrongs my daughter, the Lin family will be no more."
"Of course he won"t!" Lin Yang was greatly shocked.
…
At this moment, w.a.n.g Hao was sound asleep in bed, having no idea that the trouble he caused was all resolved.
In the police station, many soldiers arrived and took the prisoners inside away, including Xi Rongxuan and his lackeys who were caught during the day…
