On April 7, the villagers entered the Instance for the second time. Of the forty-one people, only seventeen survived.
Qi Si took the 30,000 points they had earned and gave each of them fifty Scarlet Points as encouragement.
On April 8, The Foundation's people entered Qi Family Village and were all killed by the villagers within the village.
After Qi Si distributed the rewards as promised, the villagers finally bought out the daily necessities in the store and were able to get through the period ahead.
Troubled mountains and treacherous waters bred unruly folk. This "violent brawl" did not attract much attention from the Public Security Bureau.
During this time, the matter of Red Maple Leaf Boarding School continued to ferment. Someone uncovered that the corporate families behind The Foundation had endured to the present day, resurrecting themselves in the Federation era and spreading their branches throughout counties across the globe.
Over the past few years, The Foundation after its rebirth had done no small number of things like luring people into loans and coercing donations, long since stirring public resentment to a boiling point. The exposure of Red Maple Leaf Boarding School was like a spark thrown into an oil barrel. All the unwillingness, rage, and despair suppressed in the shadows exploded in an instant, setting off monstrous waves.
Amid the many demonstrations, marches, and assaults on office buildings, beatings seemed like the most insignificant thing of all.
Some police officers even felt that The Foundation's people being beaten after entering that "barbarian village" to collect money was simply karma coming full circle—evil people would be dealt with by worse people.
As for those people dying one after another in bizarre ways over the following seven days, who knew what had happened? Maybe they had gotten what they deserved.
