From behind, a teacher's tardy voice drifted over.
"Oh God! What happened here?"
...
Principal's Office
"Madam, your child crushed a classmate's wrist. My goodness, I can't imagine how something like this could happen in my school…"
The old man opposite continued to prattle on.
Luo Di, out of sight, out of mind, closed his eyes to rest, using the Devouring World meditation technique.
Going to school was out of the question.
The only reason he stayed was his interest in the future Spider-Man.
It didn't mean he needed this high school diploma.
Meanwhile, Luo Di's adoptive mother sat opposite the principal, her brows tightly furrowed.
Beside her were Thompson's family, a plump woman whose waist circumference rivaled her height.
"What kind of evil monster is your son! My darling just went out and was knocked down by him!"
"No apology, and this heartless little criminal even broke my darling's wrist, oh my God… it's too terrifying!"
"What will happen to my darling's future? This is all because of your damned criminal son, you yellow devils! Demons! Damned scum…"
The plump woman didn't wait for the principal to finish, she screamed at Luo Di's adoptive mother, out of control, like a talking sow.
Luo Di, hearing this, found it hard to sit still. He slightly opened his cold eyes, staring intently at the plump woman in front.
No matter what, this adoptive mother was his family in this World.
To be so humiliated.
Very good…
You have found a path to death.
He strongly suppressed the urge to directly twist the plump woman's neck.
But before Luo Di could take any action.
His adoptive mother, instead, changed her previous cautious demeanor and suddenly erupted!
...
"Nonsense!"
Bang—!
She slapped a report from her briefcase onto the table in front of the old woman.
Luo Di's mother stood up with a sneer, slamming her hand on the table.
She glared at the plump middle-aged woman, who was startled by her sudden outburst.
"This contains the disciplinary records of your son bullying classmates at Midtown School of Science and Technology, as well as his criminal records from the juvenile detention center, sixteen in total."
"It also includes racial discrimination, violent acts causing harm to classmates, as well as theft, robbery, illegal possession of firearms…"
"And today, forty-six classmates can testify that Thompson intended to use violence against my child first, along with verbal abuse and acts of racial discrimination…"
"His backpack contained an illegally modified M1911 automatic pistol, posing a threat to my child's life and safety."
"My child acted purely in self-defense when he laid hands on Thompson, and he did not harm his life, only employing non-lethal methods… All of this can be seen in the classroom's surveillance footage."
As these pieces of evidence came out of Luo Di's mother's mouth, not only were the principal and the plump woman dumbfounded, but even Luo Di was stunned.
Is his adoptive mother in this World so formidable?
Luo Di's mother didn't stop there. Before the plump woman could stammer out a rebuttal, she continued.
"Mr. Principal Heidrich, your words just now did not fully state the facts; you even concealed and twisted the truth."
"I have recorded all of this. And you, Mrs. Charlie, you will soon receive a court summons, just like your son, for verbal abuse and racial discrimination. I hope you are prepared."
...
Luo Di remembered.
His parents in this life, it seemed, one was a businesswoman and the other a lawyer.
However, he never thought much of it, as he lived in a regular apartment and didn't feel anything particularly special about his life.
But now… to be able to obtain so much material in such a short time, and to intimidate the two people opposite into silence with her aura, his adoptive mother.
She certainly wasn't just an ordinary lawyer…
Thinking this, a hint of curiosity appeared in Luo Di's eyes.
To be honest, he hadn't paid much attention to his parents in this World.
There was no real need, and it could even be exploited by future enemies as a tool to threaten him.
So Luo Di had always been indifferent to his family situation, spending very little time at home each day.
...
"Damn it, liar! What are you talking about? How could my darling possibly carry a gun into school! That's impossible!"
The plump woman opposite finally regained her senses and began to throw a tantrum.
The principal, meanwhile, subtly glanced at the file bag in front of him.
It had a silver unicorn mark on it!
If he remembered correctly, that mark represented a law firm that exclusively served a certain conglomerate, didn't it?
If he remembered correctly!
Because one of his relatives was a lawyer who had mentioned this law firm at a gathering.
The relative spoke highly of it, even considering it one of the top ten law firms in the U.S..
So, who could produce this file?
He subtly glanced at Luo Di's mother.
Although she didn't wear much jewelry and her clothes weren't designer brands, her demeanor was exceptionally refined, and she possessed information channels that most people didn't.
Not ordinary…
The principal already had his answer.
He couldn't help but cough twice, then sharply rapped on the table.
"Enough, Mrs. Charlie, this lady is right…"
"School teachers indeed found a handgun in your son's backpack, and it will soon be handed over to the Queens Police Department for handling."
"Regarding this matter, whose fault it is still requires further detailed investigation before a conclusion can be reached…"
Unfortunately, the plump woman didn't listen to a word the principal said. Instead, she glared at Luo Di's mother, consumed by rage.
"Ha? You're suing me? Go ahead, you damned bitch! You're just like your son, both despicable demons…."
"Slap—thud!"
Following a crisp slap, the sound of a heavy object hitting a nearby bookshelf and falling to the ground echoed.
Luo Di flashed, appearing in front of his adoptive mother.
His eyes were deep, filled with killing intent!
"If you don't shut your mouth within three seconds, it's your neck that will be broken next!"
Chapter 42: Are You Okay?
It seemed Luo Di still had to continue attending school.
Quite regrettable.
He still had to face a group of classmates every day.
But no matter how Luo Di complained, he couldn't override his adoptive parents' decision.
As for Thompson and his plump mother, their ending was likely not very pleasant. Thompson was wailing as he was sent to the hospital; his wrist was probably ruined.
His mother was scared stiff by Luo Di, and coupled with the threats from his adoptive mother, she ultimately succumbed to the allure of money.
At least, when Luo Di's adoptive father returned home and learned about the incident, the first thing he said to Luo Di was:
"Well done!"
The second thing was:
"You should have been more ruthless…"
Well, no need to say what kind of people they were.
...
Putting aside his family background, which was gradually becoming a mystery, for now.
Luo Di also had an unexpected gain.
[Points + 10]
[Points + 10]
[Points + 10]
By around six o'clock yesterday afternoon, Luo Di had already accumulated one hundred thirty points.
This meant he had become famous throughout Midtown School of Science and Technology.
This wasn't a bad thing.
At least today, no one dared to provoke Luo Di, and even those classmates who usually got along with Thompson walked around him when they saw him.
Many people had seen fights and even gun battles.
But a ruthless person who directly crushed someone's wrist—any student who heard Thompson's screams from the school infirmary shivered with fear.
This situation continued until Luo Di nonchalantly walked into the classroom.
He yawned, then prepared to catch up on sleep.
...
He hadn't slept all night.
Dear Mr. Wilson Fisk was very restless last night.
He was pasting pictures of his Spider-Man costume everywhere, vowing to take his life.
When Luo Di went to find him, he discovered that Kingpin had somehow managed to remove the bomb vest.
And put it on the unlucky Bullseye.
May God bless him…
It seemed everyone had secrets. Luo Di guessed Kingpin might also know some super-powered individuals who helped him remove the bomb vest.
And he even used the signal tracker on the bomb vest to set up an ambush in a safe house near the Manhattan riverside.
He attempted to kill Luo Di directly with high-explosive TNT, but Luo Di dodged it.
After cleanly dealing with Kingpin's subordinates, he spent some effort finding the hiding Kingpin.
A second beating!
This time, Luo Di's strength was twice as strong as yesterday, making it even easier to beat a giant sandbag like Kingpin.
Most importantly, this sandbag itself had World-class combat skills.
He was simply the best coach.
Luo Di gave up using his psychic powers and instead sparred with Kingpin, learning the combat moves Kingpin had mastered.
Free combat, Muay Thai, military boxing, Jeet Kune Do, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Maori Haka…
His original wild punches also began to evolve.
