"Do you know how much of a psychological shadow you gave me last night? You almost choked me to death."
Kiana had a hint of apology on her face, and her right hand unconsciously touched her head. She had indeed choked too tightly last night, mainly because she was also scared and wouldn't have lost her composure like that.
"Sorry, don't be angry. At worst... I'll let you choke me once!"
Lu Ze's mouth twitched. He waved his hand, bought a sandwich, and went to school.
As soon as he arrived at the classroom, he saw Raiden Mei staring at her textbook alone. But he could feel that Mei couldn't focus at all; she was even a bit annoyed and angry.
"Sister Mei, long time no see. How have you been lately? Don't be unhappy. Don't we still have each other?"
Kiana wanted to comfort Raiden Mei, but it wasn't very effective. The latter just looked up but didn't say anything.
"Mei..."
Lu Ze was about to say something when the class bell rang. The homeroom teacher walked into the classroom precisely on time. Was it necessary? Did he really need to be so punctual?
The words he was about to say were swallowed back. Although he was a bit displeased, he didn't say anything.
He could just talk after class; it wasn't a big problem.
However, as soon as class ended, Raiden Mei was called to the office by the homeroom teacher. It was unclear what had happened or what the teacher wanted to say.
In any case, he didn't see Raiden Mei all morning. It wasn't until noon that he saw a few people surrounding Raiden Mei, with a mocking expression on each of their faces, wanting to embarrass the person in front of them.
"Raiden Mei, weren't you arrogant? Relying on your family's background, you barely paid attention to anyone. If it weren't for you, my family wouldn't have had no business to talk about; it would all have been monopolized by your family! You deserve to die!"
"Raiden Mei! Look at me. If it weren't for you, my boyfriend wouldn't have broken up with me and then eagerly pursued you? Raiden Group? Hahaha, you've become a lapdog from now on."
Everyone spoke in a very unpleasant manner. Raiden Mei just leaned quietly in the corner, her head slightly bowed, her complexion a bit gloomy.
"Be good, will you take it off yourself, or should we help you? If you let us do it, we won't be gentle at all."
Lu Ze, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly:
"What the hell are you few doing? Three or four people bullying one person, is that something to be proud of? I despise this kind of school bullying the most. You think you're so tough?"
The leader of the group looked at his attire; most of it was cheap clothes worth a few hundred yuan, not considered branded at all. Seeing this, she just sneered dismissively.
"Where did this third-rate trash come from? Don't think you're so powerful just because you go to a noble school. Where do you belong? Get lost! You don't need to interfere here, or don't blame me for being impolite."
These suicidal words made Lu Ze a bit displeased. It seemed these girls' families had some influence, or they wouldn't dare to speak like this. But do you know who I am? It seems a few bugs need to be dealt with before I leave this city.
However, perhaps it's not necessary; after all, when that thing erupts, the death toll will be in the tens of thousands.
"It seems you won't leave without a lesson!"
The girls exchanged glances and each took out weapons like folding knives and batons from their bags. Raiden Mei saw this and immediately shouted:
"You leave, I don't need you to meddle in my affairs! This way, you'll only get hurt for no reason!"
She didn't want her few friends to get hurt, nor did she want her deskmate to get injured for her.
"Heh, don't worry, I'm very used to playing the hero saving the damsel."
Seeing the folding knife lunging towards him, he simply turned his head slightly, pushed with his right hand, and then twisted her hand with his left. The folding knife immediately fell to the ground, and even one of her hand bones was broken.
"Ah... it hurts so much... What are you looking at? Hurry up and attack!"
The girl on the ground quickly ordered the people behind her to attack. But Lu Ze seemed like an old hand; he defeated all of them in less than ten moves.
"A bunch of weaklings, trying to imitate others with school bullying? If you have the guts, go call for backup. I'll wait here. Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
The girls quickly got up, all taking out their phones to call for reinforcements. Such rich kids who had no street smarts were impossible.
"If you have the guts, come out and fight us. After all, this is a school, and they can't get in here."
Lu Ze chuckled and ignored them. Instead, he checked on Raiden Mei. He examined her body and found no injuries, only a few torn clothes.
"Are you alright, Mei..."
Mei shook her head, indicating she was fine. She looked up at Lu Ze, slightly confused. Even though she knew her family's fortune had collapsed, why didn't this person distance himself from her? Why did he save her so selflessly?
"Don't be afraid, you still have me behind you. Whether it's now or in the future, if anything happens, I will be the first to offer my help."
This short sentence directly stirred the heart of the girl in front of him. In an instant, Mei's face flushed, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Do you dare to go out?! What are you showing off your affection for here! When we get out, don't get beaten to death."
Lu Ze let go of Mei, turned his head, and smiled gently. He wondered how these girls would handle the situation later.
As a killer, he was familiar with almost all the underworld figures in this city, and even everyone feared him.
He dared to say that if he told them to go east, no one would dare to go west.
"Then, as you wish. We'll go out if you want to. Am I afraid of you?"
Just as he was about to take a step, Raiden Mei, who was behind him, grabbed him. He turned to look and only saw Raiden Mei shaking her head, indicating that he shouldn't go with them.
"Don't worry, if I didn't have some strength, how could I protect you?"
He gently removed her hand with his right hand and patted it, telling her not to worry.
Raiden Mei stood there, unsure of what to say, and could only silently pray that he wouldn't get into trouble.
"I didn't expect this! I was played by him. If things had progressed as they were, I could have successfully taken over this body. Damn it. Forget it, Lu Ze? I'm starting to be interested in you."
