After Alexander came back, Arius couldn't do anything he wants now. He could only go to school obediently.

Arius stuffed the egg into his bag and placed it in his car along with the two weapons. He planned to rent a house outside today.

He would find a house to hide his egg!

Arius soon arrived at his school.

To his amazement, he realized that many people were studying 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers.'He felt a little frightened when he saw how crazy everyone was.

Even Elaine wasn't an exception. She was studying very hard as if her life depended on it. She was chanting while writing her notes.

Seriously, this was—I either go mad or I succeed!

The martial arts exam was pivotal to the students. Even if the chances were minimal, most of them didn't want to give up.

They were willing to bet their lives… pfft, bet their SAT exams on it. No matter what, they had to go all out and try it once.

Arius felt gratified.

Look at this entire floor of 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers' attribute bubbles. Classmates, you are really amazing. Study hard, please study hard.

Arius expressed admiration towards the students who were hard at work as he picked up the attribute bubbles.

—All of you are amazing!

In one morning, Arius quickly mastered the 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers.'

After eating lunch with Saul and his other friends, he drove his car out of school in the afternoon.

Will and Eddie had been waiting outside the gates of Whitebridge No. 1 High School for almost two hours. Yesterday, after a whole night of consideration, Will made a decision that he didn't even believe he could ever make.

He had been waiting for a long time, but he didn't dare to complain.

Eddie sat on the steps beside the road in a dejected and despondent manner. He smoked continuously and looked a little downcast.

When Arius's car drove out, Will recognized it immediately.

"Young Master Arius!" his eyes lit up as he shouted in a hurry.

Arius was just about to drive his car off. When he heard this voice, he stepped on the brake again. "Oh, it's him. He really came."

He parked the car beside the road and came down.

"How is it? Have you thought about it properly?" Arius said to Will after getting out of his car.

"Since I promised Young Master Arius, I will definitely solve it quickly," Will gave a bitter smile as he replied.

"In that case, what decision will you make?" Arius asked with interest. He was a little curious when he saw Will's reaction.

Will gritted his teeth. He seemed a little hesitant at the last moment. But, in the end, he still said, "Young Master Arius, I'm not someone talented or powerful, but I do have some beginner stage and intermediate stage martial disciples following me for a living…

"If you don't mind, we will follow Young Master Arius from now on."

Arius was dumbfounded.

He thought that Will might dispose of his assets to gather more liquid cash or find a few rune weapons or something similar to solve the grudge between them.

But, he never imagined that Will would burn his boats and put himself at his command along with his subordinates!

"Brother!" Eddie was flabbergasted.

He didn't expect Will to make this decision either. If he really became Arius's lackey, there wouldn't be anyone he could rely on in the future.

Arius was contemplating something, though. He had a sudden thought.

Most of the gangsters were just beginner stage or intermediate stage martial disciples. Will was the only advanced stage martial disciple among his fellow hooligans. However, this was still a small faction.

He could keep them under his wings!

But, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he gave a look of dilemma.

Will's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He pulled Eddie, who was beside him, aside and said, "My younger brother is the one who caused this issue because he can't control the lower part of his body. If Young Master Arius feels that this isn't enough, we can cut it off. He won't be able to carry out misdeeds in the future."

Eddie almost peed his pants in fright.

"Brother!

"My biological elder brother!

"I must have been picked up from the streets. How can you treat me so cruelly!" he shouted and struggled frantically in his hold.

But, with his ability, he wasn't able to resist Will, an advanced stage martial disciple.

Arius was stunned too.

"Ok… stop it!"

He only regained his senses after a long while. He stared at Will with a strange expression.

If these two people weren't similar in their looks, he would really have thought that Eddie was picked up from the streets.

"Don't you think that throwing your brother under bus is a little too harsh?" Arius muttered.

Eddie was so touched that he almost cried when he heard Arius speaking up for him. He nodded his head hurriedly.

"Brother, look, even Young Master Arius feels this way. Please spare me this time.

"I won't dare to do it again!

"That time, I was blind. That was why I had some thoughts towards Young Master Arius's friend. I shouldn't have had those thoughts. I know my mistake…"

Will wasn't moved in the slightest.

However, Arius nodded. "It looks like your brother really recognizes his mistake. In that case, we don't have to cut it off entirely."

Will felt that something was wrong when he listened to their conversation. But, he didn't manage to react immediately.

Eddie was delighted. He knew that Arius had softened his attitude. His brother wouldn't have to cut his lifeline off for real.

But, Arius paused before continuing, "I'm a benevolent person. Let's just cut half of it!"

Will: …

Eddie: $%%…*&&*#$$$$…&

You must be a devil!

Your heart must be black!

Half?

To hell with half!

Eddie's entire face turned pale. He looked at Arius in a daze, especially the expression when he said that he was benevolent. He felt extremely uncomfortable by his sick behavior.

"Young Master Arius, why don't we just cut the whole thing off?"

Will's eyelids twitched furiously. He kept warning himself continuously that he must not provoke Wang Teng in the future.

At this moment, Eddie even felt that Will was speaking for his sake.

Cut half of it…

It was better to be more direct!

There were no emotions in Arius's eyes. He was frightened and had no urge to live anymore.

The world is too scary! Mom, I want to go home!

Arius noticed that his words had the desired effect, so he stopped frightening Eddie. He patted his shoulder and said to him, "Alright, I was just trying to scare you. Don't cause trouble in the future. You won't meet someone who's so easy to talk to like me all the time."

Eddie abruptly raised his head. His face was filled with a pleasant surprise. He didn't need to cut it off anymore?

"But, if you repeat the same mistake, I will take care of you personally!" Arius said in a calm tone. Then, he ignored Eddie and went back into his car. He started the engine and prepared to leave.

"Young Master Arius, what do you think of my suggestion just now?" Will shouted frantically.

"There's no hurry. Wait for me to check their backgrounds. If they're up to my requirements, we can talk about it again."

Arius winded down the car window and glanced at Will. He left him with this reply and drove off in his car.

After the car went a distance away, Eddie carefully asked his brother, "Brother, you're not cutting me anymore?"

"Idiot, only you think that I want to cut you. Don't you know the self-torture trick? Young Master Arius saw through it at one glance. He just wanted to scare you. Look at how timid you are," Will glared at him as he replied.

Eddie was used to getting scolded, so he didn't mind it this time, either. He just heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest. "I was almost scared to death!"

"Useless thing!" Will got angrier. He kicked his brother indignantly.

Eddie jumped to the side skillfully and dodged the kick. He sniggered and asked again, "Brother, are we really going to listen to him from now on?"

"There's a brighter future in following a martial warrior than an advanced stage martial disciple like me. What's more, he's such a young martial warrior," Will answered in a profound manner.
