Ten Minutes Ago
Girls' Dormitory, Room 202.
Mina had just finished showering and was now dressed in a black skirt and a fitted grey top. She spritzed some perfume on her body.
Orange, sitting nearby, asked cheerfully, "Mina, are you going out on a date?"
Mina smiled and replied, "I'm just dressing up a little nicer. Maybe Yuto Saito will give me something extra later."
Orange teased, "Mina, you're playing with fire. Do you want to be Yuto Saito's concubine?"
Mina chuckled. "I wouldn't mind. He's handsome, and he's got plenty of supplies."
Orange gasped in mock surprise, "Mina, I never thought you were that kind of person!"
Mina flashed a bright smile. "Honestly, it's mostly because he's handsome. If he wasn't, I wouldn't even consider it. I'm totally about looks!"
Ruoruo, who had been listening, laughed. "Mina's obviously joking. Don't take her too seriously, Orange."
At that moment, Nazi spoke up, "Hey, Xian has started his live broadcast!"
Ruoruo perked up. "Master's streaming? Let's watch it on the computer."
The four girls gathered around as Ruoruo turned on the desktop. They watched as Xian Moumou, the broadcaster, asked a question to an awakened individual with a talent for refining medicine, sparking various theories among them.
Nazi speculated, "Maybe Yuto Saito is involved, and Xian is just helping him find something."
Ruoruo nodded. "It's possible."
Orange wondered, "What can an awakened person with medicine-refining skills actually do?"
Mina shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe develop a potion to enhance our powers."
"I think that's a fair guess," Nako agreed.
Suddenly, the Sichuan Opera face-changing BGM played on the live stream. The girls laughed at the performance, unaware of the seriousness that was unfolding until they saw Sharon arrive at the boys' dormitory, Room 305.
Nazi quickly sent a message to Ni Shuang, while Mina alerted Yuto Saito directly.
White BMW, driving down the road.
Yunyun was behind the wheel, while Yuto Saito held his phone, watching the live broadcast. Seeing Sharon confront Xian Moumou, Yuto raised an eyebrow. A level 3 Beastmaster with 2-star strength? He thought. Is Sharon really that bold?
On the stream, Sharon sneered as he grabbed Xian Moumou by the neck. "With your strength, you couldn't even take down my pet monkey."
Xian Moumou, who had been confident before, was now visibly shaken. He hadn't expected to be defeated so easily. The disparity in power was overwhelming, and for the first time, he felt completely helpless.
His phone rang.
Sharon loosened his grip and said mockingly, "Is it Yuto Saito?"
Xian Moumou coughed, glanced at the caller ID, and saw it was indeed Yuto Saito. Without hesitation, he hung up. He knew that even if Yuto came, there was no guarantee he could defeat Sharon. Despite Yuto being stronger than him, Xian didn't think he could stand a chance against this formidable foe.
Yuto, still in the car, was surprised. He actually hung up on me.
Sharon, seeing Xian's hesitation, ordered coldly, "Call Yuto Saito right now, and tell him to meet me in half an hour. If he doesn't show, I'll kill everyone in your school."
Xian Moumou, Liang Fu, and Cai Chengcheng began to tremble. The threat was real. Xian realized that even if Yuto came, Sharon probably wouldn't let any of them go.
Xian stayed silent, refusing to make the call.
Frustrated, Sharon punched Xian hard in the stomach, causing him to cough up blood. The blow carried hundreds of pounds of force, but Xian's enhanced physique as an awakened individual allowed him to survive the attack, though barely.
The phone rang again.
This time, Sharon snatched it and, seeing the caller ID labeled "Brother Su," grinned. "Just as I thought."
Answering the call, Sharon sneered, "You've finally decided to show yourself."
Yuto's calm voice responded from the other end. "I heard you were looking for me."
Sharon laughed darkly. "That's right. Tonight, either you die, or everyone in your school does."
Yuto's reply was simple. "I'm the one you want. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I'll meet you on the grass outside the boys' dormitory in five minutes."
Sharon smirked. "You're brave. Fine, I'll be waiting."
After hanging up, Sharon looked at Xian and said with a strange admiration, "You've got a good brother. Lucky for you."
As Sharon noticed Liang Fu filming everything with his phone, his expression darkened. "And you, kid, stop recording."
With one squeeze, he crushed the phone, cutting off the live broadcast.
In the now blacked-out live room, viewers started commenting anxiously:
"Is Yuto Saito really going to fight that guy?"
"Looks like Yuto and Uncle Xian are pretty close."
"I'm hoping Yuto can avenge him!"
"But that clown dude is strong. Can Yuto really win?"
"Is Yuto willing to risk his life for the whole school?"
