49 Aftermath (1/2)

”Of course I am! Jun Fan, even if you are far stronger than me, all is equal beneath the law. You better listen to me otherwise things may be quite messy.”

Jun Fan simply nodded not speaking a single word. Seeing that he was complying, Xiao Lang waved his hands at his men to scatter. The men scoured around looking everywhere making sure they missed nothing. Dozens of men were tied up and carried onto a carriage. Not a single man was spared. The process was long as a majority of them where knocked unconscious by Chilong. While this was happening, Xin Fan and the rest were being interrogated.

”You say that you're name is Xin Fan?”

”Yes. From Dragon Root Academy.”

Xiao Lang frowned for a moment as if he remembered something.

”You don't happen to be a first year do you?”

Xin Fan tilted his head for a moment before nodding.

”If I wasn't a civil servant I would beat you up right now.”

”Huh,Why?”

”I heard you made my precious niece cry. I even offered to teach you lesson back then. Now she wouldn't even talk to me.”

Xiao Long became a bit moody. His emotions shifted from serious, to happy then to depressed in a short span of a minute. After a moment of contemplating, Xin Fan finally realized what Xiao Lang was talking about. Ah...So he is Xiao Yu's uncle. He must be talking about back then when she challenged me.

”I'm sorry.”

”You better be...What happens if she never talks to me again,” said the captain as he puffed up his chest.

Before long the men were rounded up and they were loaded up onto the carriage. All of the children who were still remaining had their cuffs removed. They were also loaded onto the carriage to be taken back to the station.

”Well, These men are going to be locked away for good. Got to go now.”

Xiao Lang slowly climbed on to the carriage before turning back to Jun Fan.

”Oh right before I forget. Jun Fan, I need you to be at the station by midnight. For reasons you are very familiar with.”

He hopped on the carriage and rode off to the distance. Now all that was left was Xin Fan, Jun Fan, Xiao Xing and Chilong. Xiao Xing was not taken away as they just assumed that she was with Xin Fan from the way she was gripping onto his shirt. Xin Fan turned to Jun Fan.

”So what now?”

Jun Fan gave a gentle smile and said the words that Xin Fan hasn't heard for a long time.

”Of course we go back to school.”

Jun Fan extended out his arm with Xin Fan and Xiao Xing wrapped around his left and Chilong around his right. From Xin Fan's point of view, everything came and went like a flash. One moment he was at lot 41 and the next he was back at school. He dropped off the kids at the infirmary to get their bodies checked. As usual, Yang Bing was still the only one there to check up on them.

”This burn mark...Looks quite familiar.”

She took out an ointment from the drawer and started to apply to the spot. Xin Fan squealed for a moment as he felt the cold paste touch his skin. His back still had the residual pain from the branding but that was all gone when the paste was applied. The results were immediate as his burnt skin started to stretch and smooth out. All the cuts that he had previously gotten were all healing. As this was happening, Xin Fan thought of the teacher. If this thing exists, why does Teacher Jun still have that mark?

”Headmaster I am back!”

Jun Fan cheerily entered the room with a spear still attached to his back. The principal was sitting there calmly drinking a cup of tea.

”So you succeeded.”
