Robbed late at night? The principal's revenge ran into a hard plate.

"His name was changed to Zheng Tong!" the subordinate continued reporting.

"Who is Zheng Tong?"

"He is the grandson of Zheng Henian, the Vice City Lord of Jinzhou City."

Upon hearing this, Xie An's expression instantly turned grim.

"These officials of the Alliance Government are truly corrupt to the core."

The Interstellar Alliance is a collective formed by hundreds of planets inhabited by humans.

The Alliance is divided into two major systems: the Alliance Government and the Alliance Army.

Government officials are responsible for managing city affairs on various planets.

The military, on the other hand, bears the heavy responsibility of expanding territory, conquering new planets, and securing more resources for humanity.

However, corruption is an incurable chronic disease in human society.

Instances of Alliance Government officials oppressing ordinary citizens are not uncommon.

Lu Feng, just a child from an ordinary family in Jinzhou City, naturally could not contend with a figure like the Vice City Lord of Jinzhou City.

No wonder he was unwilling to join the military.

Perhaps the experience of being stripped of his Martial University spot that time had made this young man distrust the government and the Alliance military from the bottom of his heart.

"Arrange for personnel to secretly protect Lu Feng. Such talent must not meet with any accident," Xie An ordered.

His innate ability to tame Exotic Beasts was too special and would be invaluable to the military in the future.

However, it was precisely Xie An's arrangement that allowed Lu Feng to escape a calamity that night.

That evening, Lu Feng took a taxi to the People's Hospital after finishing work.

His sister, Lu Mingxue, was hospitalized awaiting surgery in a few days, and his mother, Li Qinglan, had temporarily resigned from her job to care for her full-time.

Lu Feng stayed with his sister at the hospital for a few hours before returning home late at night.

Just as he reached the entrance of his residential compound, a person in a cloak suddenly blocked his path.

"Come with me!"

Before the other person could finish speaking, they grabbed Lu Feng's shoulder and dragged him into a black car without a word.

This person's martial arts realm was far superior to Lu Feng's, leaving him no power to resist.

The soldier hiding in the dark, responsible for protecting Lu Feng, immediately contacted Xie An.

"Sir, something's wrong! Lu Feng has been kidnapped and taken into a car."

"What?" Xie An, on the other end of the communicator, stood up abruptly. "Why didn't you stop them?"

"The other party was extremely fast, with at least Peak of Third Realm strength. I didn't have time to react."

This soldier was only at the Early Third Realm, with a vast difference in strength compared to the cloaked figure.

"What's the license plate number?"

"366953."

After reporting the license plate, the military quickly found the owner's information and tracked the vehicle's destination through city traffic surveillance.

The black car eventually stopped on a deserted street on the Fifth Ring Road of Jinzhou City.

The cloaked figure got out of the car and dragged Lu Feng out as well.

"You brat, you sure can hide!"

"Principal, why must you hold such a grudge?"

The one who had kidnapped Lu Feng was none other than Zhao Chang, the Principal of Third High School.

That night at the Beast Fighting Arena, Lu Feng had caused him to lose 1.5 million Star Martial Coins and get kicked out by the venue staff.

Zhao Chang became more and more enraged the more he thought about it after returning home.

That 1.5 million was his savings from many years, and he couldn't just let it go.

He used his position to access Lu Feng's student records from the school and found his home address, then staked out his residential compound the next day.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feng's family had gone to the hospital early that day and didn't return until evening, causing him to miss them.

It wasn't until tonight that Zhao Chang finally waited for Lu Feng, who was returning home alone.

"If you don't pay this money back, I'll make you disappear from this world."

Facing the threat, Lu Feng did not panic.

"Principal, you made the bet yourself that night, how can you blame me?"

"Hmph! If you hadn't set a trap for me, how could I have lost so much money in one go?"

"That can only be blamed on your own greed."

Zhao Chang stepped forward, grabbed him by the neck, and said, "Brat, I'm not kidding! If you don't pay tonight, I guarantee you won't see tomorrow's sun."

The force of the other party was immense, and Lu Feng found it difficult to breathe, his face turning red.

He never imagined that Zhao Chang, as the principal of a martial arts high school and a public official, would be ruthless enough to kill someone.

If he didn't return the money, this old man might actually go through with it.

But Lu Feng had already given all the money he'd won to his parents, keeping only a little over a hundred thousand as capital for his next visit to the Beast Fighting Arena.

Zhao Chang's grip tightened, his expression growing more ferocious: "You're just as annoying as your homeroom teacher! Inflexible. How are you supposed to get by in this world?"

Hearing the words "homeroom teacher," Lu Feng was suddenly reminded of He Qing, the man who had been furious when his spot was taken.

"Teacher He... what happened to him?"

"That guy actually went to the Education Bureau to report me over your matter! If it weren't for the Zheng Family stepping in, I would have almost lost my position as principal. Now, I've already expelled him from Third Martial High."

Zhao Chang's eyes were cold. "You're facing death yourself, and you still have the mind to worry about others?"

"You... you scoundrels will get what's coming to you sooner or later..."

He recalled that before his rebirth, He Qing had lost his life because of him.

Upon returning, he had chosen to give up his spot to protect his family and friends.

However, he didn't know that this homeroom teacher had never given up on him.

For his sake, he had even lost his job.

A ball of fire seemed to burn in Lu Feng's chest, anger and guilt intertwining, threatening to consume him.

"Last chance, are you going to return my money or not?"

Zhao Chang's eyes were solely focused on his own interests. He gripped Lu Feng's neck tightly, his gaze so fierce it seemed ready to spew fire.

Just then, a military off-road vehicle sped over and stopped beside the black sedan.

Three soldiers got out of the car.

Upon seeing the military personnel, Zhao Chang immediately released his grip.

In this world, the Alliance military represented the highest authority, and no one dared to act presumptuously in front of them.

"I am Gao Zhan, captain of the Jinzhou Military's Chasing Wind Squad. You must be Zhao Chang? Come with us."

The leader of the three men stepped forward, his sharp gaze fixed on Zhao Chang.

"C-captain... Officer... may I ask what crime I've committed?"

"As the principal of Third Martial High, you not only privately altered a student's college entrance examination quota but also kidnapped a high school graduate late at night. These two offenses alone are enough to keep you in prison for ten to eight years."

Before arriving, the military had already thoroughly investigated Zhao Chang's background using his license plate number.

"Nonsense, do you have any evidence? I am the principal of Third Martial High, and I have close ties with the Zheng Family. I'm not going with you!"

"That's not up to you!"

Before Gao Zhan could finish speaking, the two soldiers behind him stepped forward, ready to apprehend Zhao Chang.

Zhao Chang was terrified and stumbled backward, turning to flee.

But in the next second, Gao Zhan flickered and instantly appeared behind him, subduing him with a single move.

Clearly, this Captain Gao of the Chasing Wind Squad was at least a Fourth Realm expert.
