Chapter 222: Fool

Lin Xu took the phone and saw the video of his battle with the King Kong Ant, which looked too similar to the title, and there were countless barrage comments.

Lin Xu’s face turned blood red in an instant, and he angrily said, “Who the hell filmed this? I’ll tear them apart!”

Ye Xuan glanced at the audience and said, “Most likely, it was filmed by those college students in the audience, but they have already been escorted away.”

Gritting his teeth, Lin Xu said, “Call the two Awakening Teams and have them bring back those college students from earlier, not missing a single one. I want to find out who the hell filmed this! I worked so hard to save them, and they film this kind of video to prank me? My reputation is ruined!”

Upon hearing Lin Xu’s words, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Dean Lin, are you thinking of killing someone now?”

Lin Xu coldly replied, “Yes, if I find out who filmed it, I won’t let them off!”

Ye Xuan then changed the subject, “Dean Lin, don’t forget the bigger picture! If you really kill someone, wouldn’t Zhao Tiansheng’s scheme succeed? At this moment, you have to endure it, the bigger picture is important!”

Ye Xuan repeated Lin Xu’s words back to him without missing a single one. Earlier, Lin Xu had advised his students to stay calm and avoid conflicts with others.

Now, a similar situation was happening to him. Lin Xu was being filmed and made a laughingstock, yet he was furious and wanted to take action.

When Lin Xu had advised his students to stay calm earlier, he couldn’t remain calm himself in a similar situation now.

After listening to Ye Xuan, Lin Xu paused for a moment and then smiled bitterly, “Well done, you caught me off guard!”

Ye Xuan chuckled, “Many people preach high morals to others, but when it comes to themselves, they can’t stay calm.”

Lin Xu smiled wryly, “You, can you compare your situation to mine? At most, you’ll be criticized for being cold-blooded and inactive, endure it for a few days, and it will pass. But for me? I might be labeled as the Ant bully for life, and not just by ordinary people, but maybe even by my old friends in the future. This is a lifelong matter, can I not be angry? Besides, I was just venting earlier, I wouldn’t actually do anything to that student.”

Lin Xu handed Ye Xuan his phone and then called the Awakening Team, “Are the rescued hostages still there?”

“Yes, they haven’t been sent to the school yet. What’s up?”

Lin Xu replied calmly, “Where are you? Wait for me, I need to handle something.”

Among the Awakening Team in the Magic City, Lin Xu held a high position, so the person naturally didn’t object.

He directly said, “No problem, we’re on the bus now. I’ll send you the location, just come over.”

Lin Xu added, “Also, don’t let anyone on the bus leave, I have important matters to attend to.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xu turned to Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, “I need to deal with this matter, do you want to come along?”

Ye Xuan smiled, “Sure, we can come and see how you handle it, we can learn something for the future.”

On the bus, a tall and sturdy male student around 1.8 meters tall was excitedly looking at his mobile banking app.

His name was Zheng Kaixuan, and he had edited and carefully processed the video of Lin Xu, selling it at a high price on various online platforms.

In just a few minutes, he had earned tens of thousands of dollars, feeling extremely pleased with himself.

At this moment, this student was very happy, feeling incredibly clever, business-savvy, and awesome!

However, as the bus suddenly stopped, a Awakening Team member driving said, “Everyone, please wait for a moment, we have something to deal with.”

Feeling uneasy, Zheng Kaixuan thought, Could it be that guy named Lin found out? If he comes looking for trouble, that would be bad.

Thinking quickly, Zheng Kaixuan stood up in a hurry and said, “I have something urgent to attend to, I need to get off!”

As he tried to push the door open, a strong arm blocked his way.

Zheng Kaixuan’s expression changed, “What are you doing? I said I have urgent matters, let me off the bus.”

The Awakening Team member calmly replied, “You can’t get off.”

Zheng Kaixuan’s face turned pale, “Why not? I’m just a regular person, not a mutant. Why can’t I get off the bus? Who do you think you are? The police?”

The Awakening Team member explained, “Since the rebirth of spiritual energy, the authorities have granted us Awakening Team members enforcement powers. You can call us police, in short, if I say you can’t get off, then you can’t.”

Getting anxious, Zheng Kaixuan retorted, “I insist on getting off this bus!”

As he spoke, he tried to push the Awakening Team member, but unfortunately, the member’s strength far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

With a swift slap to Zheng Kaixuan’s face, the Awakening Team member coldly warned, “If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I’ll disable you. I suspect you’re colluding with mutants, so stay put!”

Zheng Kaixuan was a smart guy who knew how to use public opinion to his advantage and seize opportunities to make money.

Lin Xu’s video had become his ticket to wealth, and now that he was being attacked, he couldn’t rely solely on his own strength.

Lying on the ground, he shouted, “Everyone, take a look! These Awakening Team members think they’re superior just because they have abilities, treating us ordinary people as inferior! I have an emergency at home and want to get off the bus, but they won’t let me. Isn’t this outrageous? Can we tolerate this treatment?”

Some students were riled up by Zheng Kaixuan’s words, standing up with a fierce demeanor, “You faced mutants and Zhao Tiansheng like chickens earlier! Now, in front of us ordinary people, you act all high and mighty? What does the country feed you Awakening Team members for? Answer me! Is it to deal with mutants or ordinary people?”

One Awakening Team member calmly responded, “I don’t rely on anyone for support. On the contrary, most of the spirit stones we risk our lives to obtain are handed over to the country. Naturally, we are here to deal with mutants, but sometimes dealing with ordinary people isn’t difficult either.”

Another Awakening Team member added, “Enough talking to them, if anyone dares to rush to the bus door again, there will be no mercy!”
