Ryuen's counterattack could only take one of two forms.
The first was gathering people to resist Bai Lan's violence.
The second was using various methods and exploiting the rules to make Bai Lan drop out.
The former would help Bai Lan rack up demerits.
Besides, now that they had fallen out, Ryuen would no longer help cover for Bai Lan. Bai Lan would receive a demerit for beating Ryuen not long ago.
The latter went without saying.
In short, both were good things!
Before long, Ryuen received Bai Lan's reply.
After reading the email, Ryuen was first enraged by how much Bai Lan had belittled him.
In his fury, he accidentally aggravated his wound.
The intense pain interrupted his anger.
By the time the pain subsided, Ryuen could no longer connect with the emotions he had felt moments ago. His anger simply ended.
Afterward, Ryuen calmed down.
Soon, Ryuen noticed something amiss.
He felt that the contents of Bai Lan's email were not as simple as they appeared!
In Ryuen's eyes, Bai Lan was someone who placed great importance on personal gain. There was no reason for him to pass up the opportunity to bleed Class C dry.
"Then why would Bai Lan refuse my deal?"
Ryuen stared at the email and began to think.
"Bai Lan is greedy. The reason he refused me is probably because he thinks I didn't offer enough!
Ten thousand points per person every month. With forty people in Class C, that's four million. Half of that is two million.
Two million a month sounds like quite a lot. It's very tempting.
Yet Bai Lan said in the email that he 'wasn't interested.'
That's true. Bai Lan earned 2.5 million on his first day at school... No, more precisely, within a single class period!
