Chapter 115: Shameless Governor!

Once news of the Federal Academy being attacked had reached the citizens’ ears, they immediately rushed to the city hall.

“Governor! The Federal Academy is under attack by an unknown group. Can’t you send the police to investigate the situation?” An old man and several other representatives asked the governor who was sitting on his lofty seat.

The bald governor’s eyes flickered, as if he had no intention to face the problem. After thinking of an excuse, he slowly answered, “Oh… you’ve misunderstood. That was just the academy’s spontaneous battle drill. They’ve already informed me yesterday…”

After all, the governor had already received a huge sum of money from the Frank family. Joey had already thought of most of the obstacles that would stand in his way.

As such, the governor needed to deceive the masses as best as he could!

Naturally, Locke’s parents were among the representatives. Locke’s father anxiously shouted, “Governor, this isn’t a drill! The water from the tsunami that struck the Academy has already reached our vicinity! I saw a few students’ corpses with my own eyes! Please investigate the matter as soon as possible! My child is studying there!”

His words instantly riled up the people in the hall, and they all started to panic.

“What! Corpses? Is it normal for the students to die in drills?”

“My child is also a student of the academy! What should we do?”

“Please, governor! Put a stop to all of this!”

“We are willing to work with the police to save the students!”

The governor looked at the bearded man who had just spoken, and he snapped, “Nonsense! No one has died! How dare you incite the people, are you a rebel? It’s a drill! I repeat, it’s a drill! I have the final say in the Holy City! All of you, go home! If you disturb my office again, I’ll arrest you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a squad of policemen surrounded the people.

“I understand! You b*stard, you’re in cahoots with the people who attacked the Academy! I’m warning you! My child is very powerful! If any of his friends get hurt, you’ll definitely be punished!” Locke’s mother was very smart. She had already guessed the governor allegiances.

“Governor! We need your explanation!”

“Are you covering up for those invaders or are you not?!”

“Please answer us…”

The more the citizens thought about it, the more suspicious they felt the situation was. All they wanted was an explanation.

The governor shot up from his seat and shouted at Locke’s parents, “The two of you actually dare to fabricate stories to slander me? Arrest the two of them! Lock them up in the police station! Lock anyone who spouts nonsense just like them!”

After saying that, a few policemen surrounded Locke’s parents and used handcuffs to take them away!

The jig was up, and the citizens were extremely furious!

“You b*stard governor!”

“We will write a joint letter and report you to the royal family!”

“You greedy fat pig!”

“To think that I even voted for you!”

Following that, eggs and vegetables were thrown in the direction of the governor’s seat!

After brushing away the eggs on his face, the governor shouted angrily, “Arrest them! All of them! Once Viscount Joey wins, he will sentence all of you lowly citizens to death!”

The city hall had devolved into chaos…

…

At the same time, the Federal Academy had been submerged by a “sea”!

It had become a water city that was isolated from the rest of the world.

“Help…”

“Instructor…”

“Quick! Go to the basement!”

More than half of the students in the academy had already succumbed to the large volume of seawater that was pouring down from the sky. Had it not been for the three directors’ efforts, the casualties would have been even greater!

Once he was satisfied, Joey ordered his Giant Whale to halt its skill. After all, the skill had consumed a large volume of mana.

Once the skill was stopped, the seawater that was formed via his mana began to gradually evaporate.

“Give it to me!” Joey walked forward while asking for something from the people behind him.

An Daemon Fang officer handed Joey a small transparent bottle filled with blue liquid.

Joey opened the bottle cap and drank its contents in one gulp.

Soon, he felt that his mana was rapidly recovering.

“This thing is awesome! When we get back, tell the butler to order another batch from the Trent family in Gold City!”

This blue liquid was called a booster. It enabled Beastmasters to rapidly recover their depleted mana.

It was something that the Trent family in Gold City had just invented.

Due to the friendly relationship between the two families, the first batch of finished products was given to the Frank family.

It had come at the perfect timing, and it had quickly proved its worth.

“Split into four teams and sweep through the academy! Of course! If anyone surrenders and swears allegiance to me, you can spare them!”

“Yes! Master!”

After saying this, the fifty Daemon Fang members immediately split into four teams and headed in different directions.

Joey led more than ten people towards the south.

As students of the Federal Academy, the students were all talented individuals.

However, as they had not experienced much actual combat, they were simply not a match for the mercenaries who killed without batting an eyelid like the Daemon Fang. The academy had suffered high casualties.

Even the students from the Diamond Class had barely held on.

“Little brat! Your class’ name might sound cool, but your strength is silver-tier at best! Surrender! Swear allegiance to my master, and not only would you live, you will also receive a powerful Beast Egg!” A Daemon Fang officer intercepted an injured student from the diamond class and made an offer.

“Don’t even think about it! Kill me if you have the guts to! Once Locke returns, he will rip all your heads off!” The student held true to his status as an elite of the Diamond Class. While gripping his bleeding arm, he mentally ordered his Battle Beast to launch another attack.

“Kill him!” Clement coldly spat.

Just as the student’s leopard-shaped Battle Beast was about to charge forward, a golden barrier appeared before it!

It had deflected the enemy’s Battle Beast!

“Instructor Jacques!” Upon spotting the golden barrier, the student immediately realized who his savior was.

Jacques stood between the student and Clement. He then glowered at Clement and spat, “All this seawater has made my cigarettes wet. How are you going to compensate me?”

Clemente revealed a fierce expression and laughed. “Hahahaha! As long as you swear allegiance to my master, you will be able to enjoy the best cigarettes in the entire continent!”

Jacques turned around and said to the injured Diamond Class student, “Turn back. There are more than a dozen students from the bronze class who are trapped in a collapsed house. Go and help them out…”

The student nodded and ran towards the direction that Jacques had mentioned.

“Who gave you permission to leave?!” Accompanied by Clement’s angry roar, Flying Slashers lunged forward and targeted the student’s back!

Clang!

With a wave of his hand, Jacques had formed a golden barrier that blocked the twin blades’ strike!
