Chapter 173: 173 - Misunderstanding

Zero’s words left everyone dumbfounded. Students, teachers, or even those directly involved, like Bell and Draven, were no exception.

Was this what they called acting? Just now, it was clearly about to turn into a huge fight.

What about Nexus’s matter? Was that acting too? What kind of acting was it when several thousand people all lay flat on the ground at the same time?

You couldn’t even fool children with these words, let alone a bunch of humanity’s elites here.

Even though they couldn’t be fooled, everyone didn’t take too long to understand Zero’s intention. It was obvious that Zero wanted to find the least embarrassing excuse possible to end this whole mess.

Thinking about it carefully, accepting Zero’s absurd words was actually pretty decent for everyone. Compared to being helplessly pressed flat against the ground by invisible pressure, pretending to be helpless was much better.

After the pressure disappeared, everyone quickly stood up. They tried their best to straighten out their clothes and composure as quickly as possible. They didn’t want to go through something this embarrassing again, nor did they need to remember it.

Quite a few people even planned to clap and cheer to support Zero’s blatant lie, but before they could do anything, Nexus spoke up.

"Acting my ass! Do you think I’m blind?"

Zero wanted to find a way to save face, but Nexus smirked and cursed straight at him. Clearly, he wasn’t giving him any face at all.

Originally, Nexus didn’t plan to bother with Zero, but since Zero had voluntarily put his face out for him to punch, if he still didn’t punch him, then he would call Zero ’papa’.

"You two trashy brats. Lailah is my little angel. Don’t even think about getting a chance to touch her."

As he spoke, Nexus wrapped his arm around Lailah’s waist and pulled her closer. Lailah didn’t object at all, making others really think that the two of them were a couple.

They really were a couple, but not boyfriend and girlfriend, but a tourist and a tour guide.

Bell didn’t react at all when Nexus cursed at him, but Draven wasn’t convinced. Draven knew that Nexus was much stronger than him, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t stop him from pursuing love at first sight.

"Hmph, you say she’s yours, so that makes her yours? You won for now, but who can say for sure that I won’t have a chance in the future?"

As the guildmaster of the Gold Guild, Draven really did have every right to be arrogant. It’s just that the person he had set his sights on this time wasn’t human, so no matter how hard he tried, the result wouldn’t change.

"You really won’t have a chance."

Lailah directly poured a bucket of cold water over Draven. She didn’t mean any harm. She just felt that it wouldn’t be good if someone as talented as Draven wasted too much time on her. This could be considered her unintentionally holding back humanity’s development a little.

Her words stabbed straight into his heart, but Lailah’s sweet voice made Draven even more unwilling to give up.

"Why?"

He looked at her seriously. His eyes carefully observed every detail, trying to analyze how true or false her words were.

Bell couldn’t help finding this scene funny when he saw it. Want an angel like Lailah to become his girlfriend? What kind of joke was this? Even if he kept trying for another billion years, there wouldn’t be any result.

Lailah quickly thought about what she should say. While thinking, her eyes darted back and forth, and this action couldn’t escape Draven’s eyes.

With his intelligence muddled by love at first sight, Draven immediately concluded that Lailah was being threatened. But when he thought about Lailah being threatened by Nexus, he could only back down because Nexus was much stronger than him.

At the same time, Lailah had already come up with an extremely effective lie. Of course, she couldn’t reveal her identity, but with the strongest ’shield’ in the universe right beside her, what was there to worry about?

"Because you’re too weak. Wait until you defeat Nexus before you start thinking about that."

By some strange coincidence, Lailah’s and Draven’s thoughts happened to match in a bizarre way. This made Draven’s misunderstanding of Nexus even deeper.

Although Nexus’s current strength didn’t allow him to read anyone’s thoughts, based on the way Draven was looking at him, he understood that Draven was already thinking about some ridiculous stuff in his head.

But Nexus didn’t want to explain or refute anything either. Draven could think whatever he wanted, as long as he didn’t say any arrogant words out loud, Nexus didn’t need to waste his effort beating him up.

A scenario of forced love through violence appeared in Draven’s mind. He thought of this scenario because he had tried it quite a few times before.

Of course, it wasn’t really love, because after finishing one night, he would immediately act like he didn’t know the other person.

Although he was somewhat jealous, Draven still wasn’t stupid. There was no way he could ever defeat Nexus in this lifetime, so this love at first sight had to be buried as soon as it had just begun to bloom.

The corner of Zero’s eye twitched a few times. Was this a place for you guys to talk about young love? Although he wasn’t sure whether Nexus and Lailah were actually young or just looked young, Draven was definitely a young man.

As the dignified principal of the American Hunter Academy, Zero didn’t know what to say to stop this ridiculous situation.

He had basically understood everything just now. If he didn’t say anything, Nexus would give him some face, but if he dared to open his mouth and interfere, Nexus would obviously show him no mercy.

Suddenly, Nexus and Lailah flew into the air. Nexus’s enormous spiritual power transformed into a white dragon even larger than the academy grounds.

The two of them stood on the head of the white dragon and looked down. Everything in Nexus’s eyes had already been insignificant, and now it looked even smaller.

"Remember what I said. All of you are nothing but lowly mortals to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous white dragon carried the two of them away at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, they completely disappeared into the clouds.
