Only Mo Chen, Zhou Qian, and an unnamed teacher from the Supermarket Management Bureau remained at the scene.
Zhou Qian was truly panicked. It was easy to get away with hitting classmates before, but now that he had knocked someone flying in front of the teacher, the situation had changed. Disrespecting elders was the least of her worries; he could very well be expelled, and she was genuinely concerned.
Taking a deep breath, she decided to quickly appease the teacher before he lost his temper, and then think of a solution for Mo Chen.
"Teacher, Mo Chen..."
"Teacher, I was wrong..."
Before she could speak, Mo Chen spoke first and even bowed, his attitude extremely good.
Zhou Qian: "...".
Teacher: "…".
You were so arrogant just now, why are you suddenly admitting your mistake? Your face changes way too fast!
This reflected Zhou Qian's and the teacher's feelings at this moment.
"Teacher, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit my classmates. Even if they did something wrong, they are still my classmates, and I hit them without thinking. It's all my fault, and I'm willing to make amends."
Then the teacher saw Mo Chen pull out a stack of RMB from somewhere.
"Teacher, this is the compensation for their medical expenses. I believe they will forgive me."
After saying that, Mo Chen handed the teacher about 100,000 RMB, and then, under the teacher's surprised gaze, he pulled Zhou Qian away.
There was definitely no way to report today, so if they didn't leave now, when would they?
The teacher glanced at Mo Chen's departing figure, then at the money in his hand, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Not only is he incredibly strong, but he also has a strange personality. Most importantly... his attitude is quite upright. Hmm, not bad."
The teacher then took the money and walked towards the infirmary.
...
Mo Chen and Zhou Qian were sitting and chatting on a park bench.
Zhou Qian looked anxious, while Mo Chen seemed indifferent.
"Mo Chen, aren't you worried at all? Now you've gotten yourself into trouble."
Zhou Qian was so anxious she was almost crying.
"Easy! Easy!"
Mo Chen patted Zhou Qian's hand and comforted her. "Don't worry, the teacher won't make things difficult for me."
"How is that possible?" Zhou Qian said in disbelief. "You hit two classmates in public and then hit that rich kid in front of the teacher. Moreover, the injuries of all three of them are probably not minor. How could you be alright?"
"It's simple, because I have a good attitude!" Mo Chen smiled mysteriously.
"A good attitude is all it takes? It's not that simple."
Zhou Qian shook her head. If a good attitude were all it took, what would be the point of having police?
"Hehe, you haven't seen the situation clearly. What situation is it now? It's an era of nationwide awakening. Awakened people naturally have a higher status than ordinary people, and among awakened people, there are naturally different levels. If people in high positions do something wrong, as long as they have a good attitude, basically no one will hold them accountable. That's the reality."
Seeing that Zhou Qian was still confused, Mo Chen continued to explain, "Actually, the teacher was already in the teaching building right after I beat up those two lackeys. The reason he didn't come out to stop me was because he wanted to see how strong I really was. I can slap someone away with one hand. I believe there aren't many people in the world who can do that right now. So he was hesitating whether to come out to stop me or continue to watch the show."
If he tried to stop me, what if I disobeyed? Could he beat me? He probably knew himself that he was no match for me. He only stepped in as a peacemaker after he saw that my anger had subsided, giving me a way out and saving face for himself.
The last kid, not understanding the situation, started throwing a tantrum again, thinking the teacher could help him vent his anger. But when I heard the teacher's tone was relatively calm, I knew the teacher was on my side, so what was I hesitating for? Of course, I slapped him away. I was feeling really pent up too, so to hell with being calm and collected.
Zhou Qian: "...".
"Is that really true?"
Zhou Qian tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent, utterly bewildered by what Mo Chen had said.
You've come up with so many arguments about a simple fight!
"Of course. Did he stop us when we left?"
Mo Chen rubbed Zhou Qian's head. "Remember, if anyone dares to bully you, you should fight back. This era has changed. The strong can act and only need to apologize."
...
Because of Mo Chen's actions, the meeting and registration for the Awakening Class at Longda University were disrupted.
Mo Chen ignored the teacher and seriously injured three classmates. This incident spread like wildfire throughout Longda University in just half an hour and even reached the ears of the university president.
Arrogant, ruthless, and an unparalleled hero—all these adjectives were used to describe Mo Chen, making all the male students at Longda University admire him to the point of prostration.
While admiring him, the male students also felt sorry for Mo Chen because this matter had a very serious impact. It was definitely not something that could be resolved by simply writing a self-criticism and paying for medical expenses. Expulsion would be the basic procedure, and he might even face criminal charges.
But to their utter surprise, just one hour later, the situation developed in a way that completely defied their expectations.
The police didn't come, and the school didn't expel him. In the end, Mo Chen paid the three people a total of 100,000 yuan to settle the matter.
Mo Chen didn't even show his face; the teachers of the Awakening Class helped him the whole time.
All the students were stunned, thinking that Mo Chen had connections that reached the heavens.
Later, someone spread a rumor that the reason Mo Chen was unharmed was not because of any powerful connections, but simply because of his formidable strength.
It was said that the rich second-generation heir who was slapped away had already learned the innate star chart, which is a law of "absolute evasion." No matter what kind of attack, he could dodge it effortlessly.
Then... he failed to dodge Mo Chen's casual slap.
What does this mean?
Mo Chen was even more powerful than him, and that was the real reason why Mo Chen was unharmed.
The official attitude toward the three was clear: want revenge? Sure, go get it yourselves!
At this point, all the students understood that times had changed. In the past, those with power and influence had the final say; now, the strong have the final say.
This further fueled the students' enthusiasm for cultivation, and one by one they skipped classes and began to work themselves to the bone to become hardcore cultivators.
Mo Chen, the central figure in the entire incident, was also completely bewildered when he heard the news.
What the heck? Absolute dodge? How come I didn't notice anything?
Oh, I forgot, I also have the "Anchoring of All Things" principle, and coincidentally, my understanding of it is higher than his...
Haha!
