Fox Immortal Treasure Pearl

"What are you yapping about, you piece of trash?" Wang Shiyu showed a look of disgust.

How could Zhou Qing still fail to understand? This man had already abandoned him.

The darkness in his heart began to breed once more, struggling violently as the chains clanked.

"Wang Shiyu, you bastard! Aaaah!" Zhou Qing roared and lunged at Wang Shiyu, but the chains held him fast.

Corrupt energy surged forth, negative emotions erupted, and he was about to lose consciousness completely again.

Seeing this, Card Master Yan Mo tossed out a card. A clear radiance scattered down, gradually calming Zhou Qing.

"Zhou Qing, tell us the whole truth." Card Master Yan Mo said, holding a card between his fingers.

Zhou Qing had calmed down considerably. Under the effects of the card in Card Master Yan Mo's hand, he said bitterly:

"It was Wang Shiyu who led me into darkness. He was the one who gave me all those Corrupt Cards."

"Wang Shiyu, do you have anything to say?" Wang Tiangan spoke impassively.

Wang Shiyu remained utterly composed and said with a faint smile, "Teachers, such matters require evidence.

"First of all, this man is an Evil Card Master.

"Creatures like him are completely controlled by negative emotions. Many things, including their memories, are merely exaggerated or fabricated by themselves.

"This man is narrow-minded. The conflict between Su Li and him was nothing more than a hotheaded quarrel in their youth, yet in his dark heart, it somehow became a life-and-death vendetta.

"I have every reason to suspect that because I happened to come into contact with him before his fall, he developed delusions about me."

"Wang Shiyu, aaaah!" Zhou Qing went mad. Even Card Master Yan Mo's card no longer worked on him.

"Silence!" Card Master Yan Mo shouted. He activated the card and suppressed Zhou Qing, plunging him into unconsciousness.

He glanced at Wang Shiyu and said, "Student Wang Shiyu, we have evidence. The source of these Corrupt Cards is listed in this file.

"The file shows that these cards were sent to your Wang Family. How do you explain that?"

Wang Shiyu smiled and said:

"Teacher Yan Mo, our Wang Family loathes Corrupt Cards. We have consistently invested enormous sums into researching such cards.

"This is also to find the source of Corrupt Cards and completely eliminate their emergence.

"It is for the benefit of all Card Masters."

He took out several photographs from his pocket and showed them to everyone.

They showed Zhou Qing entering Wang Family territory, wearing an awestruck expression—though it could also be interpreted as sneaking around.

Wang Shiyu's expression turned solemn as he said:

"This matter was indeed due to inadequate supervision on the part of our Wang Family. Those cards had just been transported back to the laboratory.

"After coming into contact with me that day, this man likely developed criminal intentions toward our Wang Family. He actually sneaked into our group and stole these Corrupt Cards.

"In response, the Wang Family was thrown into turmoil and deployed a great deal of manpower to search for him, fearing that these Corrupt Cards would harm society."

At this point, Wang Shiyu suddenly gave Su Li a gesture of thanks.

"We must also thank Student Su Li for capturing this evil creature."

Su Li could only marvel at the spectacle.

This was what a financial conglomerate was like—airtight in every way. If not for the Card Master Alliance's current system, I would probably have been crushed without a trace.

"If anyone has doubts about these photographs or the Wang Family's research results on Corrupt Cards, I can provide them as evidence," Wang Shiyu added.

"Then send us a copy." The beautiful blonde woman suddenly spoke.

Wang Shiyu was somewhat surprised, but he smiled and said, "Of course, Principal. However, this must remain confidential. We are not yet prepared to release this data publicly."

Some of the Card Masters sighed softly. This was the end of the matter. Without sufficient evidence, they could not bring charges against the Wang Family.

Wang Shiyu gave Su Li a mysterious smile and declared loudly:

"Since this matter arose because of our Wang Family, we will submit a fine according to the Card Master Alliance's rules.

"At the same time, the Wang Family has decided to compensate Student Su Li—or rather, thank him.

"These are three Bronze Level Seven cards.

"Furthermore, considering Student Su Li's family circumstances, the Wang Family is willing to shelter him from the storm. If he takes up a position with our Wang Family, he can receive resources from today until his graduation from university."

"Heh." Su Li smiled. If I went to your Wang Family, how many days would I even survive?

This was more like a provocation aimed at Su Li.

"Leave the cards. As for the rest, I thank the Wang Family for thinking so highly of me."

There was no reason to refuse free gifts.

Even if Wang Shiyu had not brought it up himself, Card Master Yan Mo would have used this chance to pressure the Wang Family into giving up something.

This was Third High School's compensation for Su Li, and also the purpose of convening the Card Master Court this time. Directly bringing down the Wang Family was simply unrealistic.

"Little fox." Card Master Yan Mo narrowed his eyes, rendered speechless. Wang Shiyu had already said everything for him.

That admission of fault was flawless. The matter could only end here.

"This is very good. We will verify the evidence you provided." Card Master Yan Mo declared the matter concluded.

The beautiful blonde woman swept her gaze over Su Li and Wang Shiyu, said, "Not bad," then sashayed away on her stiletto heels, click-clacking as she went.

Card Master Yan Mo patted Su Li on the shoulder and left as well.

The card masters gradually dispersed.

"Student Su Li, these are your cards." Wang Shiyu approached with three cards gleaming with a bronze sheen.

"Thank you." Su Li narrowed his eyes and shook his hand.

Wang Shiyu wore a smile as he moved his lips soundlessly.

Su Li understood the meaning: two words—wait to die. He calmly replied, "Doesn't feel good, does it?"

"Hehehehe." The man was narrow-minded and was likely dying of frustration inside. He let out a low laugh, gave Su Li a cold glance, and left.

"Brother Li." Lu Chenfeng met up with Su Li, with the little silver-haired girl following beside him.

"You don't need to worry too much. The school will warn Wang Shiyu. Their family's black market was just purged, and several financial conglomerates are eyeing them greedily. They won't risk everything over something so small," Lu Chenfeng said.

"The Wang Family's black market was just thoroughly purged, so they won't dare cross the line again. You should put more effort into my little fox instead," Bai Moxue added.

Su Li nodded. This matter was temporarily settled, but it was probably now a fight to the death between him and Wang Shiyu. He would find an opportunity to kill him.

He walked shoulder to shoulder with Lu Chenfeng and the others to the Card Master Building.

The three of them each happened to have one chance to draw a card, so they could use them together.

"Whoever draws the best card treats us to dinner." Lu Chenfeng laughed heartily and entered the card vault first.

A moment later, his expression turned ugly. He had actually drawn only a Bronze Grade Four card, completely useless to him now.

Bai Moxue went in second. The little girl came back out happily and showed them the card in her hand: Bronze Grade Eight, [Jade-Eyed Green Monkey].

Her luck was ridiculously good. It could be used directly and stationed in the Hundred Beasts Forest.

It was Su Li's turn.

He reached out and grabbed a card.

Su Li immediately took out Su Xiaobai's card. Sure enough, a new option had appeared among the enhancement choices.
