Night.

The Zhao Family, a martial arts family with a thousand-year legacy.

Their ancestor had been a Martial king-level expert who had led the Zhao Family to gain a foothold on a Level Three Planet.

Unfortunately, the family had declined and its talents had dwindled. Left with no choice, they could only return to their home planet, Earth, in search of a chance to rise again.

At that moment, inside the Zhao Family's main hall.

The Zhao Family head, Zhao Tianwu, sat there with a cold expression. Beside him sat Principal Zhong Li, wearing a smile.

"Old Zhao, we've been friends for so many years. I truly feel sorry about what happened to Xunwen." Principal Zhong Li said with an ingratiating smile.

Zhao Tianwu flew into a rage. "Old Zhong, I only sent Xunwen to your Eleventh High School because of our years of friendship. But what happened? Some wild brat who came out of nowhere actually ambushed my grandson! What makes me even angrier is that you declared the other side the winner. You... you..."

The more Zhao Tianwu spoke, the angrier he became. If his grandson, Zhao Xunwen, had been defeated fairly in the arena, he would not have said a word.

But before the match had even begun, someone had kicked his grandson between the legs and shattered them. Worse still, that person had been declared the winner. How was he supposed to swallow that?

Principal Zhong Li quickly said, "Old Zhao, don't get worked up, don't get worked up. I came here this time to tell you exactly what happened!"

Zhao Tianwu took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Seeing this, the principal said, "That child isn't some wild brat like you said. His identity is extraordinary. He is the only son of General Zhenwei, Wang Tianyi."

"What?!"

Zhao Tianwu rose to his feet in shock. "How could General Zhenwei's son be on Earth? Shouldn't he be at the Royal Academy?!"

"I can't explain everything to you in such a short time. You only need to know that the master-disciple relationship between Senior Su Mu and Wang Tianyi determines what kind of attitude he has toward Wang Hao." Principal Zhong Li gave him a reminder.

Zhao Tianwu sat back down and fell into thought. He had seen Wang Hao's information. That Peak of Perfection footwork alone was enough to catch Su Mu's eye.

Coupled with the father-and-son-like master-disciple relationship between Su Mu and Wang Tianyi, Wang Hao was undoubtedly like a real grandson in Su Mu's eyes.

"Now do you understand why I made that ruling?" Principal Zhong Li asked with a smile.

"Ah..." Zhao Tianwu sighed. Not to mention the Zhao Family now, even the Zhao Family at its peak would not dare go against Su Mu. Other than swallowing this grievance, what else could he do?

"Old Zhao, Senior Su isn't as unreasonable as you think. He gave me five guaranteed admission slots to Tianbei University. This is the compensation." The principal chuckled.

"Are you saying my grandson, Zhao Xunwen, can enter Tianbei University directly?!" Zhao Tianwu was so excited that he nearly jumped up.

The principal nodded and asked seriously, "He can, but you must honestly answer one question for me."

Zhao Tianwu was startled and quickly suppressed his excitement. "Please ask!"

"Wang Hao was assassinated last night. Was the assassin sent by you?" The principal stared intently at Zhao Tianwu.

"No, absolutely not!" Zhao Tianwu shook his head repeatedly. "You know what kind of person I am. I would never interfere in matters between juniors. Besides, I had been waiting for you to come explain things to me."

The principal watched him for a moment before nodding. "I understand. Tell your grandson to recover properly and try not to miss the enrollment date."

With that, Principal Zhong Li rose to his feet, cupped his fists, and took his leave.

"Old Zhong, thank you!" Zhao Tianwu called out.

The principal waved his hand. "You're thanking me too early. It won't be too late to thank me after your grandson graduates from under me again."

"Graduates again?!"

Zhao Tianwu froze. Then his eyes widened as he watched Principal Zhong Li vanish into the night, finally understanding what graduating again meant. "This old guy really struck it lucky this time."

At that moment, Lin Tingbai's father, Lin Yang, was drinking tea with Gao Damei's father, Gao Xiong.

Gao Xiong quietly asked, "Old Lin, I heard you sent an assassin to kill Wang Hao?"

Lin Yang's body stiffened. He turned to look at Gao Xiong's expressionless face. Although he did not know how Gao Xiong had found out, he understood that there was no way to hide it now.

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded and admitted it.

Gao Xiong fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's good that you confessed on your own. I'll settle this matter for you. Remember, even I cannot touch Wang Hao."

Lin Yang's pupils shrank, wondering whether he had heard wrong.

After all, Gao Xiong came from Gaowei Star, a Level Four Planet.

Moreover, the Gao Family was a noble family, and the experts it possessed were undoubtedly terrifying beyond belief.

Although Gao Xiong was only from a very distant branch of the Gao Family, that connection alone allowed him to wield immense influence on Earth.

Yet even so, Gao Xiong had said that he could not touch Wang Hao?!

"Why is that?" Lin Yang asked curiously.

Gao Xiong said softly, "Because Wang Hao has someone backing him, and even my main family would not dare offend that person."

Lin Yang's pupils shrank again. This news shocked him. Even the Gao Family did not dare touch him?! Surely this was not a joke?!

Gao Xiong took a sip of tea. "There are many noble families in the Interstellar Federation, but only a few truly rule it. Those few are the real nobles. No matter how powerful the other noble families are, they cannot cause the slightest ripple before true experts."

Lin Yang probed, "Is the person backing Wang Hao a super expert?"

Gao Xiong gave a bitter smile. Tianbei University's principal was not terrifying because of his cultivation, but because his students were everywhere.

If anything really happened, a single message from him could summon a huge crowd.

When that time came, even top-tier noble families would have to keep their distance. They would not dare act recklessly at all.

Lin Yang swallowed, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He had actually provoked Wang Hao, who was protected by a super expert. Wasn't this practically courting death for no reason?!

"You don't need to be nervous either. I'll settle this matter for you." Gao Xiong waved his hand.

Lin Yang nodded desperately and patted his chest as he promised that such a thing would never happen again.

"After Damei and Tingbai get married, I'll use every connection I have to send them to Wunan University, one of the Four Key Universities." A flash of cold light suddenly gleamed in Gao Xiong's eyes. With a bang, he crushed the teacup in his hand. "But if your son dares mistreat my daughter, your Lin Family will cease to exist."

"Yes, he definitely won't!" Lin Yang was badly startled.

At that moment, Wang Hao was lying in bed, sleeping soundly. He had no idea that all the trouble he had caused had already been resolved.

Meanwhile, a large group of Soldiers arrived at the Police Station. The moment they got out of their vehicles, they took away all the prisoners inside without a word, including Xi Rongxuan and his group of Underlings, who had been arrested during the day...
