I'm Buying Out Your Lackey's Title

"I'm just that good, aren't I?" Seeing those little thugs scurry away, Sett couldn't help but act cool.

"Sss, oh, getting punched around just now really hurts." However, the coolness didn't last three seconds.

"Zhang Haobai is so impatient, already calling people to ambush me at night. Good thing I'm a step ahead, or I would've been taught a lesson by those thugs."

"This little rich kid is still annoying, but whatever, he won't be annoying for much longer. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and once it's over, I'm going to take the Martial Artist assessment. I wonder if Luo Feng can faint to increase his strength; it'll be quite troublesome if my strength is lacking by then."

On the weekend, Sett slept in. When he got up, he saw his dad already watching a soap opera, so Sett, out of curiosity, decided to see what soap operas were like 30 years later.

The television 30 years later looked like a piece of glass, very beautiful, and the images displayed were exceptionally clear; he didn't even know what K-resolution the screen was.

"What's wrong? You don't usually like watching these, so why are you so engrossed today?"

"Nothing, just watching it occasionally and finding it pretty good, hehe." In truth, Sett was just looking for novelty. Although the plot was still quite cheesy, it was, after all, a work from decades in the future, and before he knew it, he had watched it all morning.

"You two only know how to watch TV. The house is such a mess and you haven't cleaned it, and you haven't cooked either. Do you really take me for a maid?" Jin Wenying, carrying groceries, felt her anger flare up when she saw the father and son watching TV.

"Mom, it's fine. Just two more months of hard work, and I'll be a Martial Artist soon. When that happens, we'll move to Mingyue Residential Quarter and hire ten maids to clean the house," Sett replied, eyes fixed on the TV.

"Are you serious?" the couple asked in unison.

"Of course I'm serious. When I went to test yesterday, my punch force had already reached 900kg. My speed is just a bit lacking, only 24 meters per second. After the college entrance exam, it'll be around 25 meters per second, so it's not a big problem." Sett was too embarrassed to say he had already far exceeded the threshold for a Martial Artist; after all, improving too much too suddenly was quite scary.

"You know my classmate and good brother Luo Feng, right? He's almost there too. We'll go take the Martial Artist assessment together. We'll probably be neighbors then," Sett added. "You guys can visit each other; that'll be nice."

"Sigh, this kid Luo Feng, his academic grades are good, his cultivation is impressive, and he still finds time for a part-time job every day. Look at you, you're useless at everything except for being a bit strong," Xiahai complained.

Who told him to be the protagonist? It's not unreasonable for him to be good at everything. Sett said, "Hey, I just don't have that talent. Besides, Luo Feng is doing it for his family. His younger brother Luo Hua is in a wheelchair, so he's anxious too."

"What's wrong with our Sett? Isn't he about to be a Martial Artist too? A seventeen-year-old Martial Artist, that's not bad at all. You're always comparing him to others; why don't you earn as much money as them? I want to live in a big villa too, but in the end, it still depends on our son." After Jin Wenying finished speaking, she carried the groceries into the kitchen and started clattering away.

"It's fine, I didn't mean it like that. My son Sett is definitely the best. You're definitely not going to make it in the college entrance exam, so just focus on preparing for the Martial Artist assessment. I heard the assessment is still a bit dangerous. We have some money left at home; do you want to hire a Martial Artist to teach you?" Xiahai said hurriedly.

"It's okay, Dad, just don't put pressure on me. The Martial Artist assessment will definitely be no problem when the time comes."

"Alright, time to eat. Stop watching, it's all the same anyway."

"I like it, I just enjoy watching it," Xiahai said while turning off the TV.

"Son, come eat some vegetables, eat more to nourish your body," Jin Wenying piled a full bowl of vegetables for Sett.

"I want some too, honey, pick some for me."

"I think you're still half-asleep."

The meal passed amidst the bickering of his parents. Although the two argued fiercely, they had a very good relationship, and sometimes Xiahai would even prepare a little romance.

After the meal, Sett rested for a while and prepared to go to the dojo to train.

"Luo Feng, you're here too!" As soon as Sett entered the dojo, he saw Luo Feng training. "Brother Yang."

"Oh, you're here, Sett," Yang Wu replied.

Then, Yang Wu continuously slammed his fists into the testing machine.

920kg

912kg

935kg

910kg

"Impressive, Brother Yang. You can easily pass the 900kg threshold even with rapid punches," Luo Feng said, surprised by Yang Wu's strength.

"Hehe, just average, just average."

"Brother Yang is definitely impressive, haha."

In the evening, Sett and Luo Feng walked out of the dojo together. "How was the date yesterday?" Sett couldn't help but gossip.

"It was alright. She seems to have a good impression of me," Luo Feng said.

"Then you'd better work hard, Madman."

"Yeah! Whatever Xu Family or Li Family, even if Xu Xin were Hong's daughter, I wouldn't be afraid."

"Every single day, you dream big, even Hong's daughter. Do you want the daughter of the emperor of the Milky Way to marry you too?" Sett laughed.

"You brat, looking for a beating, aren't you? If you've got the guts, don't run!"

"Catch me first!"

"Ugh, why do I suddenly not want to go to school?" Sett was woken up by his alarm clock and rubbed his eyes.

After getting ready, Sett grabbed a steamed bun and dashed out the door. "Mom, I'm leaving."

"Yo, Zhang Haobai, you really like peeping at people, huh?" As luck would have it, he ran into Zhang Haobai at the school gate, and he was still staring at Xu Xin ahead.

"A dog chasing a rat, meddling in other people's business!" Zhang Haobai got angry the moment he saw Sett's smug look. He had originally planned to spend some money to hire people to beat him up, but they told him Sett was too strong and demanded more money.

Although Zhang Haobai had plenty of pocket money, he basically had no savings, so as soon as he heard it would cost 100,000, he decided to drop it.

"Zhang Haobai, I'm actually doing this for your own good. If you had tried to force yourself on Xu Xin two days ago, you'd probably have been fed to the fish by now."

"Keep bragging. Fed to the fish? My uncle is a Martial Artist, who would dare?" Zhang Haobai felt fearless the moment he thought of his uncle.

"Come here, come over. I'll tell you a secret. Don't worry, I won't hit you." Sett pulled Zhang Haobai to a secluded spot.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and spit it out if you're just blowing hot air."

"You know the Xu Family, right?" Sett said.

"Which Xu Family?"

"The one and only, the HR Alliance's Xu Family."

"I know them, so what?" Zhang Haobai rolled his eyes. How could he not know the Xu Family?

"Xu Xin is the daughter of the Xu Family. Think about it carefully." After saying this, Sett patted Zhang Haobai on the shoulder and headed toward the classroom.

I'm going to be late, Sett thought.

"This, how is this possible?" Zhang Haobai was left standing there in a daze.

During the break the next day, Zhang Haobai found Sett. "Brother, you are my own brother. From now on, I'm buying out the title of your lackey. There's fifty thousand yuan on this card, use it for now, brother."

"Oh? What's wrong? Didn't you send people to deal with me before?" Sett took the bank card and said.

"I didn't realize she was actually from the Xu Family. I almost made a huge mistake. It's a good thing you intervened in time, brother, otherwise I would have been finished," Zhang Haobai said hurriedly.

"Everything before was my fault. I was blind and didn't recognize a superior person. Please, brother, don't hold a grudge against a small person like me. Just treat me like a fart and let me go," Zhang Haobai said quickly.

"Now that you mention it, I suppose I am half a lifesaver to you. Tell you what, I'll take the card, and I appreciate the gesture. But you know we're both students, so let's forget about the lackey business." Sett tucked the bank card into his pocket and waved his hand. "Go on."

"Wait, hold on," Sett called out to Zhang Haobai.

"Brother, is there something else?"

"What's the PIN?"

"It's on the back of the card. If there's nothing else, brother, I'll be going."

"Go."

This Sett, he really lets it go to his head! Damn it, and this Xu Xin too—her family is so rich, yet she still comes to school here. My luck is absolutely rotten.

Forget it, I won't hold a grudge. Once I become a Martial Artist, I'll settle the score with Sett. As long as I have power, the Xu Family and the HR Alliance are nothing but trash.

"This kid, he's been so diligent with his training lately. It's truly rare." Zhang Haobai's father felt surprised looking at the changes in his son recently.

Usually, Zhang Haobai would only train sporadically, and if it weren't for his uncle forcing him, he probably wouldn't even be an Advanced Student by now.

Time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the college entrance exam.

It seemed that the college entrance exam decades later wasn't much different from the past. It was the students' last day at school. Textbooks were torn into shreds by restless students and fluttered in the wind, just like three years of youth drifting away.

Sett had already experienced the college entrance exam once, but this time felt completely different.

Without the slightest bit of pressure, this period of campus life felt exceptionally special.

In his past life, he often dreamed of waking up to find himself back in his student days, starting everything over from the beginning.

Although he hadn't returned to his own student days, this wasn't bad either. Sett leaned against the railing, then tore a book into shreds and threw them into the air.

To be continued. Thank you all for your recommendation votes.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps it just changed its name!
