Chapter 1127 - 374: Is There No Justice? Is There No Law?

The assistant was just a low-grade Qi and Blood Martial Artist; he had absolutely no ability to dodge. Let alone dodging, he didn’t even have a chance to touch the ground.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

In a matter of seconds, the assistant had been beaten black and blue. Aching all over, he felt like he was going to die.

"Su Yue, stop! You’re going too far!" Bai Zhiyong waved his hand. The Combat Martial Artists behind him immediately moved forward to stop Su Yue. He had even brought along a Sixth-Grade Mercenary.

"My son is in the middle of a fight. If anyone dares to lay a finger on him, I’ll make sure you won’t have a single intact bone left in your bodies," Su Qingfeng said lightly, not even moving from his spot.

"Anyone who dares to use force on the territory of Shenchu Prison shouldn’t blame me for dealing with you under the charge of a prison break!" the Major General barked, his murderous intent flaring. As long as the Ketone Trust Group dared to make a move, he would have a valid reason to strike.

"You...

"On what grounds can Su Yue beat up my subordinate?" Bai Zhiyong demanded, trembling with anger. The Shenchu Corps was purely bullying them.

"Su Yue is just a student from West Martial, merely getting into a scuffle. I am a Major General of the Shenchu Corps, not an officer from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau. How could I possibly meddle in such trivial matters?" the Major General sneered.

By this time, the assistant had been beaten so badly his face was swollen like a pig’s head.

"Why is it a prison break if we make a move, but just a scuffle when Su Yue does it?" Bai Zhiyong asked through gritted teeth. This was a blatant double standard! Was there no justice left? Was there no law?

"Because I said so!

"Besides, since it’s just a scuffle, you can send your subordinates to fight Su Yue too. It’s not like I’m stopping you!" the Major General smiled contemptuously.

"He can’t beat him at all! You... are going too far." Bai Zhiyong glanced at the scene not far away.

The assistant was on the verge of being beaten to the point of permanent disability. Expecting him to fight back? What a joke. Even if he were a peak Fifth-Grade Combat Martial Artist instead of a mere Fourth-Grade Qi and Blood Martial Artist, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Su Yue.

Bai Zhiyong grew incredibly anxious. Hiring a lawyer in the Divine Land wasn’t difficult, but hiring one willing to offend powerful people for his sake was extremely rare. Moreover, because they needed to enter the Wet Realm, this lawyer had to be a Martial Artist.

This assistant was a talent he had spent a fortune cultivating. If the man was beaten mute, his losses would be astronomical. Most importantly, who would scheme and strategize for him in the future?

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

"What a pity it’s only three million. I’d feel bad squandering borrowed money, otherwise I would’ve beaten you into a vegetative state!" Su Yue finally finished delivering three million’s worth of punches.

The assistant ached all over. He desperately wanted to pass out, but he couldn’t. His Qi Blood was both a blessing and a curse. He had considered suing Su Yue. Unfortunately, as a Martial Artist, he possessed a certain degree of physical recovery, and to make matters worse, Su Yue’s punches were terrifyingly precise. He might sue for assault, but such matters could easily be settled with money. Furthermore, Su Yue was a student and a decorated hero, so the authorities would naturally side with him. Hoping to arrest Su Yue on charges of severe injury was absolutely impossible. He cursed inwardly, realizing he had finally met his match today.

"What belongs to me, Su Yue, stays mine. If anyone dares to harbor malicious intentions, I will cripple them.

"I’m not trying to threaten anyone. The Wet Realm is teeming with Ninth-Grade Demon Beasts and tyrannical Ninth-Grade aliens. In the history of the Divine Land, it’s not entirely unheard of for an entire mining team to be wiped out.

"You can take the mining rights to the bamboo forest, but just how safe it is in there isn’t up to you to decide.

"I’ve schemed and killed my fair share of Eighth-Grades, and I even captured Heiye alive. I really don’t think much of any of you.

"I’ll leave my words right here today: if any of you dare to take half a step into the bamboo forest, I’ll make sure you never walk out of it for the rest of your lives."

RUSTLE RUSTLE!

RUSTLE RUSTLE!

Just as Su Yue’s voice fell, countless noises emerged from within the bamboo forest. The rustling sounded like bamboo leaves rubbing against each other.

Only then did the crowd see it clearly.

It was the Short-snouted Pigs!

An overwhelming swarm of Short-snouted Pigs blanketed the area, their crimson eyes glaring fiercely. Even Su Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine. The sheer number was staggering, and their hostility soared to the heavens.

This drove of pigs absolutely despised Su Yue, so he only needed to release a tiny sliver of his Qi Blood to draw their aggro. It was the perfect tool to intimidate others.

Sure enough, the Ketone Trust Group’s mining team stepped back in unison, terrified of bringing trouble upon themselves. They had already been frightened out of their wits by the pig swarm.

"General, please help me record this with a Source Image Stone as proof that the Ketone Trust Group is incapable of mining the bamboo forest.

"I, Su Yue, representing the West Martial Student Union, can bid for these mining rights.

"You bunch of trash can scram to wherever you belong.

"Trying to play legal games with a college student like me? You’re just a pathetic loser!" Su Yue glared at Bai Zhiyong with absolute disdain.

The law was a double-edged sword. If someone could use it to hurt him, he could just as easily use it to strike back. The only reason his dad had suffered a loss was probably because he lacked an education.

"That’s right! Other entities can submit bids, and West Martial is absolutely qualified!

"Bai Zhiyong, the Ketone Trust Group has cordoned off the bamboo forest right now. If your expert team doesn’t go in, I’ll use this footage as evidence to have the authorities revoke your mining rights.

"You have ten seconds to consider!" the Major General declared, holding up the Source Image Stone with immense satisfaction.

College students truly were the hope of the nation! When it came to dealing with scoundrels like this, the youth definitely had more tricks up their sleeves. Let’s see them act arrogant now.

The people from the Ketone Trust Group looked at each other in dismay. They helped the battered assistant over to Bai Zhiyong’s side. Right now, their only option was to wait for the assistant to come up with a plan.
