--- Chapter 22 ---

'Are you dumb?' Baek Ain was speechless.

With his current condition, Baek Ain couldn't move too much because his Healing Factor is still healing everything. He told Alicia to transport every kind of healing pill in his inventory and ate them at the same time.

[Ding!]

[...]

[...]

Baek Ain's recovery fastened but was not instantaneous.

He lifted his tanto with great difficulty and watched Xiao Yan punching him with an enormous force.

"OCTADIC SMASH!"

[Parry]

Baek Ain swung his weapon and launched like a cannonball at the corpse of magical beasts. He tried to stand up, but some loose bones caused him to kneel with a painful expression.

Blergh!

'Stupid protagonist!'

He scowled at Xiao Yan and shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

"WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME, HUH?!"

"SHUT UP, MONSTER! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY THIRD UNCLE!" Xiao Yan quickly responded with venom.

Baek Ain wanted to respond, but Xiao Yan relentlessly attacked without giving him a chance to open his mouth. A hateful sensation grew in Baek Ain's heart because he didn't deserve this treatment.

He looked at Wu Tan City's gate and saw none of these people stopping Xiao Yan. Even the formerly warm and wise Xiao Clan's Leader only stood with a solemn look on his wrinkled face.

'Why?'

'Why??'

Crack!

Baek Ain lifted his injured body out of spite and indifferently caught Xiao Yan's hand. He stared at Xiao Yan with bloodshot eyes and smashed his annoying face with his crooked hand.

BAM!

Xiao Yan slammed onto the ground, and the people at the gate suddenly moved as if they saw Baek Ain as a threat.

"Young man, just surrender. Let's discuss this calmly." A woman in Jia Nan Academy's robe arrived on Baek Ain's side. She appeared in her late twenties with a gentle face, long brown hair, and green eyes.

Rou Ling stared at Baek Ain and added, "Can we?"

BAM!

"No." Baek Ain stomped Xiao Yan's head mercilessly.

"JUNIOR BAEK!"

Xiao Zhan roared while marching forward and stood before Baek Ain with a disappointed look. "Please, let's settle this peacefully."

"Peacefully?"

"..." They gritted their teeth in guilt.

"AIN!" A feminine shout appeared.

Lan Rou ran past everyone and hugged Baek Ain tightly. She joyfully cried when finding he was alive and coldly questioned the people surrounding him, "What's the meaning of this?"

"Why are you surrounding him like he was a criminal!"

"If any of you touch Ain, I'll do everything to make your life miserable."

Lan Rou's aura exploded and revealed her 4-Rank Dou Spirit Cultivation, making everyone except Gu Xun'er have a pale complexion.

"Calm down, Rou." Another voice appeared, which some of them recognized immediately.

Xiao Zhan turned around and saw Yafei standing amongst the crowd with a small smile. It's not a warm smile they used to know from attending the Auction House, but a fit of cold anger suppressed by her noble aura.

"Xiao Clan's Leader, you should explain something to me..."

"Why did my beloved fiance end in such a situation?"

"From the shouts I heard, he sounds betrayed."

"You didn't attack him, right? If you did, Miteer Family would cut business ties with the Xiao Clan. And ask for compensation." A smile on Yafei's face disappeared immediately.

"We'll also ask the Xiao Clan to return every support we transferred in the last four months... No dime less than what I had given to you."

"W-Wait-!" Xiao Zhan responded hurriedly.

"This is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding... What if the role is "suddenly." reversed? What if your son is the one who got treated like this?" Yafei returned calmly.

"You want justice for him."

"Don't say no because you'll sound exactly like what my fiance said before..."

"Rou, bring Ain back to the compound. We will leave this city tomorrow to heal his wound." Yafei turned her back on them.

"This city doesn't deserve him."

Lan Rou glanced at Xiao Yan and everyone in the area before following Yafei to the Miteer Family Branch's Compound. Many residents of Wu Tan City questioned what happened outside the west gate, but the truth made anyone who heard it fall into disbelief.

Soon the Xiao Clan will become a source of mockery.

More so, Xiao Yan and his father, they labeled as blind-hearted father-son. They have eyes but can't see the truth.

And the Beast Tamer being part of the Xiao Clan makes the situation worse for them. Now almost everyone in Wu Tan City despises the Xiao Clan.

Jia Nan Academy was about to reject Xiao Yan from entering his entries after he displayed such a rash personality and actions, which could be harmful to society.

However, a protagonist always has a way.

Gu Xun'er requested the Jia Nan Academy's representatives to let Xiao Yan through because he could be a better person in the future. He's still young, after all.

...

...

Miteer Family Branch's Compound.

In the recuperation room, Yafei and Lan Rou stared at the sleeping Baek Ain worriedly. Their beloved Ain doesn't deserve this.

"Cut every tie we made with Xiao Clan."

"Return all the pills Xiao Yan made for us. And abolish the business contract."

"Also, spread my words... Miteer Family won't let Xiao Clan slide."
