38 Apologize! (1/2)

Although the cruiser had plummeted to the ground, damaging several of the surrounding buildings and leaving a deep crater in the ground, its surface did not appear damaged. The door to the cruiser had opened and four youths walked out of it.

The four of them were wearing Ethereal Dao College student robes, and from the logos on their clothing, they were students of the Dharmic Armament faculty!

The moment they appeared, the angry mob around them drew gasps. None of them dared speak loudly. Instead, they murmured in discussion. After all, Ethereal Dao College was one of the four great Dao Colleges of the Federation. Furthermore, it was connected to Ethereal City. Many of the students who graduated would take up positions in the various departments in the Federation. Such a Dao College had an unimaginably strong heritage.

It would have been fine if the accident involved them, but now, with the accident having nothing much to do with them, the crowd did not wish to cross the students verbally. Also, it was clear at a glance that the four youths came from quite spectacular backgrounds.

The four youths who walked out of the cruiser completely ignored the crowd. They were even chatting jubilantly as though nothing had happened.

They had also seen the girl that their cruiser had sent flying, but they thought nothing of her. One of them casually lifted his voice transmission ring and gave a few instructions after making the connecting call.

”Something happened. Help us deal with it.” With that said, he looked at the students beside him and sighed.

”Huang Jing, do you know how to drive a cruiser? That is Han Lu's graduation work. What do you think about this matter, Han Lu?”

”Zhang Lan, isn't it all because you nudged me? But then again, Han Lu, I'm sorry about this…” The youth named Huang Jing shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.

The youth named Han Lu, who was being looked at by the other two, had a dark and heavy expression. He quickly walked to the cruiser, where he examined the damage, before he turned his head in contempt to look at the barely breathing girl.

”It's nothing major. It just got stained by a bit of blood. Rubbing it off will do.”

They pretended as though the crowd didn't exist, and their attitude toward the bloody girl was of complete indifference. Immediately, the surrounding crowd fumed, but they could only put up with it when they saw Ethereal Dao College robes they donned.

All of this was seen by Wang Baole. The anger in him grew. From Jiang Lin's case, he knew that the college was not some safe space, but he had never imagined that Ethereal Dao College students thought so little of innocent lives. In addition, they placed themselves above ordinary people because of their status as Dao College students. This scene added an addition coldness to Wang Baole's fuming gaze.

Just as he was about to take a few steps forward, a spectator beside him held him back out of good will, and murmured, ”Don't go over. They are people from Ethereal Dao College. Once they graduate, each one of them will be an elite. Furthermore, from how they appear fearless, it's clear that their family clan is powerful. They are not people we can provoke.”

Wang Baole's expression was grim and solemn underneath his mask. He gently struggled free from the person and continued walking straight forward. He did not walk toward the four Ethereal Dao College students and instead came to the girl. As he looked at her blood-covered face, his body trembled slightly. He pressed down on the barely breathing child, directed Spirit Qi into her body, and said gently, ”Little girl, don't be afraid. You will be fine.”

With that said, Wang Baole took out some of the pills he had bought from the Alchemy faculty back then and fed them to her.

”Brother, I'm in pain… I'm so scared… I want Mommy…” The girl had been in shock previously, but now, having seen Wang Baole and heard his gentle voice, she immediately cried. Her voice was weak, as though she could not last much longer.

”Little girl, don't be afraid. You will be fine.” Wang Baole stroked the girl's head and increased the amount of Spirit Qi he injected. While treating the girl's wounds, he placed even more pills in her mouth.

Although her injury was heavy, the Recuperation Pills the Alchemy faculty refined were very miraculous for ordinary mortals. Soon, the girl's injuries took a turn for the better. Under Wang Baole's nourishing Spirit Qi, she gradually fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the four youths who had alighted from the cruiser smiled when they saw this happen, as though they felt that the matter had been settled. Therefore, they began engaging in banter while planning to turn and leave. Even Zhang Lan, who had previously sent a voice transmission for manpower, took out his voice transmission ring and said that there was no need for their presence.

This contemptuous act, to the point of not even apologizing, made all the spectators burn with anger. Although none of them dared berate them in public, it was obvious from their eyes.

This scene similarly infuriated Wang Baole. His fury was set alight as he carried the girl closer to the spectating crowd and put her down gently. He turned to look coldly at the few Ethereal Dao College students and said in a deep voice, ”Stop!”

Wang Baole's voice was ice-cold. There was no courtesy in his words as he shouted what the crowd did not dare say. ”When has Ethereal Dao College admitted such scum that are devoid of conscience?”

The moment Wang Baole said that sentence, the four students who were prepared to leave came to a halt. They turned to look coldly at Wang Baole. Zhang Lan, who had sent a voice transmission to his family clan, clearly had the hottest temper. He immediately walked toward Wang Baole.

”Who are you? Do you have a death wish? How dare you scold me? I'm Ethereal Dao College's Dharmic Armament…” Zhang Lan's tone was unfriendly. As he grumbled, he approached to push Wang Baole.

But before he finished his sentence, Wang Baole instantly raised his right hand and grabbed the youth's finger. While fuming in anger, he showed no mercy and bent the finger before raising his foot to aim at his knee and kicking it.

A crack sounded instantly as a sharp cry that did not sound human was uttered from the youth's mouth. He felt an excruciating pain as he stumbled more than ten hops away on one foot before collapsing to the ground.
