Chapter 26: Group Framework

  After school, on a bridge near the school, the Dupont family and the Ross family surrounded Yang Jue and the Locke family. To be honest, there were only about ten people from the Locke family standing with Yang Jue, while Eugene Dupont and Donna Ross had called in hundreds of people, the disparity in strength was not ordinary.

  Surrounded by so many people with a fierce stare, the members of the Lock family led by Ron*Lock couldn't help but feel flustered.

  However, Yang Jue remained calm and composed.

  "There are quite a few people who have come to die, aren't there?" Yang Jue said with a smile.

  "Delivering death?" Ron*Lock had already broken out in a cold sweat. The other side had over a hundred people, while they only had more than ten - the disparity in strength between the two sides was so obvious, yet Yang Jue could still say that the other side came to deliver death.

  "Hey, Ron, how come there are so few of you Locks? One, two, three... tsk, tsk, only fourteen! Let me tell you, we have one hundred and twenty-one people on our side. How about it, do you still dare to fight us? If not, why don't you just kneel down and lick my toes? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your lives." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student from the Dupont family said coldly to Ron Lock.

  "Heh heh, exactly, exactly." Eugene Dupont and Donna Ross also chimed in with a laugh.

  Sneered at by the opponent, Ron Lock did not speak. He simply turned around silently and said to Peter Lock and others standing behind him: "Today, whoever is afraid of death does not deserve to be a member of the Lock family!"

  Immediately, Ron*Lock nodded to Yang Jue and then shouted to Peter*Lock and others: "Brothers, follow me!" Then, Ron*Lock took the lead in charging forward, completely with a look of disregarding life and death.

  Lorne*Lock led the charge, and others followed. Like this, the martial arts class used their martial arts, the magic class used their magic, disregarding the disparity in power of one against ten, more than a dozen students from the Lock family clashed with students from the Dupont and Ross families...

  As a spectator, Yang Jue stood calmly on the side with his hands clasped in front of him and his eyes narrowed to watch the scene where the Luo Ke family fought desperately for him against their enemies.

  "Haha, this is interesting! The people of the Luo Ke family, for my sake, actually dare to be so desperate... Unfortunately, they are simply underestimating themselves, a dozen or so people dare to fight with over a hundred people, isn't this just seeking death?" Yang Jue shook his head and said.

  As expected, due to the vastly superior strength, in less than ten minutes, more than a dozen people from the Locke family led by Ron*Locke were beaten to the ground by hundreds of opponents, suffering a crushing defeat.

  "It's your turn, kid! I heard you're some kind of big shot who can make the entire Lock family listen to you! But in my opinion, it just means that the Lock family members are all idiots. Otherwise, why would they make a six-year-old like you their leader?" The student from the Dupont family sneered.

  Upon hearing this, Yang Jue still maintained a smile on his face and remained silent.

  "What's going on, Yang Jue? Or else... let's run." Ailin * Luo stood behind Yang Jue and said anxiously.

  "Run? Surrounded by so many people, can't escape." Yang Jue shook his head.

  "What are we going to do then? Can't just wait for death like this." Irene Locke cried out.

  "Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yang Jue said with a smile.

  Actually, in such a situation, Yang Jue had a hundred ways to leave the scene safely. For example, he had recently developed a magical potion that could turn into smoke when sprayed out, and people who inhaled this smoke would immediately lose their resistance, becoming weak and limp all over, with tears streaming from their eyes in extreme pain. This potion was more useful in crowded places. Using this potion, he could create chaos and take the opportunity to slip away.

  Alternatively, he could directly use magic, with the several group-attack spells at his disposal, to deal with the over a hundred people on site. Although it would be a bit of a strain, it was doable.

  In short, if Yang Jue was alone, he could have escaped safely. However, he had no intention of leaving. After all, the people from the Luo Ke family were still lying on the ground, and he couldn't just abandon them, as they had gone to fight for him in the first place.

  "What to do with the more than a hundred people of the Luo Ke family who can't be thrown away? Might as well... let them all go see King Yan." Surrounded by a group of ill-intentioned people, Yang Jue's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.

  According to his plan, as long as someone dared to defy him, he could immediately conjure up a "wind wall" or "water curtain" to protect himself, and then summon fireballs, ice rain, earthquakes, leaf dances, lightning strikes, and other attacks on the enemy. With the magical energy stored in the jade stone he wore, it was no problem at all to cast ten or so beginner-level spells instantly. In that case, more than a hundred students from Allen International Academy would likely be either dead or seriously injured.

  "Sorry, Principal, I'm afraid I'm going to cause you some trouble." Yang Jue had already raised his right hand, ready to cast a spell.

  However, at this critical moment, a team of about 20-30 people from the palace guard suddenly appeared and stopped Yang Jue's action, saving the lives of more than 100 people.

  "Halt! All of you, halt! Don't you know that group fighting is not allowed within the Imperial City? Do you want to be caught? Everyone, stop at once!" The captain of the guards shouted at the over 100 people present.

  The fully armed Imperial Guard, directly under the command of the royal family, was an existence that the imperial capital could not tolerate. Their appearance instantly stunned everyone present, and no one dared to make a move.

  The captain of the guard was still somewhat satisfied with this. And then, under everyone's astonished gaze, the captain of the guard actually walked directly to Yang Jue's front, and even more astonishingly, he actually knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Jue, reporting to him: "Yang Jue sir, I am Berg, the captain of the palace guard, please forgive me for coming too late and startling you."

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yang Jue waved his hand indifferently. But judging from his appearance, the captain of the Wang Palace Guard was paying him such great respect, yet he seemed to be taking it for granted, which made one secretly marvel at him.

  "Yang Juege, I am here at the behest of High Priest Soraka to invite you to visit the palace. If it is convenient for you, we can head to the palace right now." Guard Captain Berg said.

  "Is Auntie looking for me?" Yang Jue asked.

  "Yes. The High Priestess said she misses you dearly and wishes for you to come to the palace to see her," Berg said.

  "Alright, I'll go with you. It's been a long time since I've seen Aunt, and I miss her too." Yang Jue said with a smile.

  Under everyone's astonished gaze, Yang Jue walked towards the palace under the protection of the Imperial Guard.

  As soon as he left, the pot on the bridge suddenly boiled over.

  "What? High Priest Soraka is actually the godmother of that little brat?"

  "No wonder, no wonder, that kid has always been so calm..."

  "It's lucky we didn't mess with him, or else we would have been in trouble..."

  ……

  The Du Ponts and the Rooses were both relieved.

  The Rock family was overjoyed and thrilled.

  That night, in the Lock family's estate, the head of the household, Howard*Lock, burst out laughing: "As I expected, this kid is not simple! Even the great priest Soraka has taken him as his godson, which shows how terrifying this child's background is! Ron, you've done well! From now on, I declare that the injuries you've suffered today are for the honor and future of our entire Lock family! You have fought for the Lock family's glory! On behalf of the family, I thank you! You're amazing! Also, pass down my order: each of the injured children will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins!"
