Chapter 75: The Situation Is Escalating

Boom!!!

Following a loud explosion, a few strands of gold hair fluttered in the air.

Even Locke himself had not expected the power of the two air bombs to be that strong!

They had blown Andrew into pieces!

“Locke… wins…” the judge’s voice was very soft.

However, Diana was present.

She turned around and shouted to the entire crowd, “Locke has won the duel!”

What followed was a roar of cheers!

Although they were students, they were all qualified Beastmasters!

They were well aware that they could lose their lives at any time. As such, they were unfazed by Andrew’s death. Instead, they cheered, “Locke! Good job!”

“You are qualified to engrave your name on the Tower of Glory!”

“Well done! !”

John helped Principal Hobrick up and said, “The first condition has been fulfilled…”

Hobrick did not reply, instead, he looked at Locke’s silhouette and nodded.

…

A mere half an hour later, the news of Andrew’s death had reached Old Man White, who was doing charity work in a village nearby.

He exchanged glances with his eldest son Alva, as if to say, “How is this possible?”

Secretary Mars asked the accompanying reporters to turn off the cameras and immediately ushered the people present to leave.

Andrew’s outcome had left Old Man White in a daze. He could not accept reality.

“Argghhhhh!!” Alva responded to the news with rage.

He smashed his elemental-infused fist into the wall beside him!

“How dare you kill a member of the White Family! I will grind him into a lump of mud!!” With that, Alva walked out of the door, and he pushed the surrounding crowd away!

He had injured several people in his wake!

However, in his eyes, these people were no more than flies!

Realizing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and that Alva would incur the wrath of the public, he quickly went forward to stop Alva, and tried his best to persuade him not to act rashly.

After that, he asked his subordinates to fork out a lot of money to temporarily appease the villagers.

“He killed my brother! I must get rid of him and take revenge for Andrew!”

“Not now! Young master, you have to calm down! Wait until the master’s campaign is a success!” Mars dragged Alva back to Old Man White’s side.

Andrew went to the court alone to get the duel contract, but he failed and was killed instead. This was already a laughing matter, and they no platform to vent.

All they could do was suffer in silence.

Old Man White knew this very well. After mourning in his heart, he tried his best to suppress his sadness and anger.

He had to calm down.

After all, the election results would be out in a week, and he was only less than ten votes ahead of his opponent. If something bad happened again, he would lose his lead.

The three of them remained silent for a long time before Old Man White finally spoke. “Mars, you’re absolutely right. We… We have to calm down for now…”

“As long as nothing major happens now, I’ll definitely be elected as the governor of this city. When that time comes, not only will I kill Locke, but I’ll also wipe the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy from existence!”

“This is my way of atoning for the descendants who sacrificed themselves for the White family…”

Hearing this, Mars finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Man White’s leadership was the main reason Mars had decided to follow him. As such, Mars was relieved when he regained some semblance of his former self.

After patting the grieving Alva, Old Man White stated, “I promise you, once this is over, I’ll allow you take take Locke’s head yourself…”

Although Alva’s had a hot temper, his father’s many years of teachings had also forced him to calm down.

“Yes… father. After you’re elected, the city hall will be under our control. When that time comes, as long as its within the Holy City, we’ll be able to do whatever we want…”

Seeing that his son had reached the same conclusion as him, Old Man White nodded in relief…

…

However, the Andrew incident had stirred up waves of gossips in the city.

The White family had dominated the sacred city for many years, and no one had dared to voice their anger.

However, now that an ordinary Beastmaster had disposed of one of their members, some ordinary Beastmasters began to have second thoughts.

“Hmph! To think that such a day would befall on the White Family!”

“This is the retribution for bullying us for so many years!”

“I heard that not even the corpse of the third son remained. That guy is really ruthless. I like it!”

“Serves him right! Andrew colluded with the Federal Court to kill someone, but he ended up being killed instead. What a disgrace…”

“I heard that the killer’s is still a student. It seems that the White family isn’t all that their made up to be!”

“I’ve decided to take back the votes I was forced to cast. I’m now confident that I can fight them!”

The significance of Locke’s victory over Andrew was unprecedented.

The White family’s seemingly invincible image was slowly disintegrating in the hearts of the public and many Beastmasters.

Naturally, the media was all ears.

All major television stations were vying to interview Locke. They had swarmed the academy’s entrance, all so they could interview Locke!

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, Diana went to the principal’s office to request his permission to chase the media away.

However, once Principal Hobrick found out about the news, he revealed a meaningful smile, and indicated that he was willing to accept interviews from all the media.

“But Locke has a low-key personality. Even if you agree, I’m afraid he won’t be willing to appear…”Diana did not know what the principal’s intention was.

Hobrick put down the pen in his hand and smiled. “Then let me take his place. Ask all the media members to wait for me at the field…”

Diana was left even more confused by this!

After all, their principal had always lived in seclusion. Even the governor had rarely seen him.

His sudden change in attitude puzzled her greatly.

“Don’t just stand there, go quickly. Also, you should come with me and bring your ‘Global Sentinel’ with you.”

Tristan, who was standing at the side, seemed to understand the principal’s intentions.

On the way to the field, he looked at Jacques and Diana, who were still grasping straws at the principal’s motive. He explained, “Now is a crucial moment of the White family’s election campaign. The principal is an important figure, and he has come forward to tell the whole story. What do you think will happen after that?”

The two of them instantly connected the dots.

Diana adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and revealed a bright smile. She said to the principal, “Don’t worry! I don’t have the habit of deleting video records…”
