A scream rang out.

Everyone stumbled back a few steps, startled. They hadn't expected the new girl to be so formidable.

Ye Huo was the world's top-ranked ace agent. Even if they all joined forces, they still wouldn't be enough for her to fight alone.

Tang Jiao's pride had been scared clean out of her.

She had practiced taekwondo since childhood, so she naturally understood that the girl before her was terrifyingly strong in speed, power, and presence alike.

She shuddered, feeling as though the god of death had his eyes on her, and instinctively called out, "Dad."

"Good girl."

Ye Huo suddenly flashed a cold, bloodthirsty smile. "Get out of my sight. Scram!"

With her followers supporting her, Tang Jiao struggled to her feet. Her eyelashes fluttered against her darkened face, which was filled with panic and helplessness. She had no strength left to defend herself.

All her earlier dignity and arrogance were gone.

Like a beaten dog driven from home, she slunk off to the infirmary in disgrace and had the doctor bandage her arm.

"Huh? How is the new transfer student so strong? She took Tang Jiao down in seconds!"

"Yeah! The sun must have risen in the west. Tang Jiao's a tenth-degree black belt in taekwondo!"

"Even the boys can't beat her, but this girl actually won and made her call her dad! That's fucking awesome!"

"Amazing! You can't help but admire her!"

A flurry of quiet whispers reached Ye Huo's ears.

Ye Huo wore a white school uniform top, a light blue skirt, knee-high socks, and a pair of white sneakers.

Her skin was fair, her face exceptionally beautiful, and her lovely fox eyes betrayed a hint of impatience.

Calm and composed, she swept her gaze around the classroom and said coldly, "What are you staring at? Get back to whatever you were doing..."

"She's so fierce!"

"She's so cocky!"

"She's so mighty!"

At once, everyone in the classroom averted their eyes, no longer daring to sneak glances at Ye Huo.

Gu Wanyang was too frightened to look directly at the girl and lowered her head.

"Miss, you're different from them. You don't have to be afraid of me."

Ye Huo spoke softly.

"Thank you."

Gu Wanyang smiled sweetly. The petite girl naturally gave off an approachable air.

She seemed to have accepted her new friend.

She forced a smile, pressing her lips together, her expression uneasy. Suddenly meeting Ye Huo's gaze, she said with utter innocence, "That girl just now was Tang Jiao! Her dad is a world taekwondo competition champion, and her mom is a judo competition champion.

Her whole family practices martial arts, and none of them are easy to deal with. You should be careful!"

"It's fine. I'm not afraid of them."

Ye Huo raised an eyebrow, the corners of her lips lifting slightly as a hint of domineering confidence appeared in her eyes.

"Wow, Ye Huo, you're so cool!"

Gu Wanyang gazed at Ye Huo with admiration, her smile growing brighter, the joy in her eyes seeming ready to spill over.

Sometimes friendship between girls came that easily.

The two quickly became good friends.

They went to the cafeteria together, and Gu Wanyang took Ye Huo to add money to her meal card.

Ye Huo handed the cafeteria worker the thick envelope her eldest brother had given her.

The worker pulled out a thick stack of cash and counted it, then said in shock, "49,500 yuan. Are you sure?"

That was so much money she couldn't spend it all on food in a year!

"Then I'll put 10,000 on it for now!"

A smile touched Ye Huo's lips, and she felt a surge of contentment.

Her eldest brother was so good to her.

She would save the rest for shopping!

She added 10,000 yuan to her meal card, took back the remaining 39,500 yuan, and stuffed it into her pocket. Hidden beneath her loose uniform, there was no sign she was carrying so much money.

"Wow, you're loaded!"

Beside her, Gu Wanyang covered her mouth in surprise. Even before the Gu family went bankrupt, she and her brother had only received 5,000 yuan in pocket money a week.

But this girl had 50,000 yuan for a single day, and she was carrying it around in her pocket in plain cash. Wasn't she far too rich?

"Come on, let's get food."

Carrying a tray, Ye Huo queued at a cafeteria counter.

The cafeteria offered a wide variety of dishes.

She got a serving of beef, one of shrimp, one of ham, one vegetable dish, two chicken drumsticks, and a large bowl of rice. She also bought a peach and a carton of milk, then ate in the cafeteria with Gu Wanyang.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the cafeteria.

Lu Zichen, the campus heartthrob who never ate in the cafeteria, had appeared with a group of followers.

He and his fellow rich kids had gone to the shop to buy ice cream, roses, chocolates, and plush bears.

When he returned, he heard that the fierce woman Tang Jiao had actually made trouble for his goddess.

He immediately came looking for Ye Huo with bags of gifts, an ingratiating expression on his face.

"Huohuo, I bought this ice cream especially for you. It's truffle chocolate flavored."

Gu Wanyang recognized the ice cream. It was made with expensive chocolate and imported from overseas, costing hundreds of yuan a tub.

It seemed the young master had indeed been struck by mortal desire and was willing to spend money pursuing their Sister Huo!

"Get lost."

Ye Huo looked at him with nothing but scorn and contempt. "I don't want it."

Lu Zichen wasn't put off by her indifference. Frustration showed on his delicate face as he asked, "Why?"

"I don't care for kindness that comes so cheap."

Ye Huo lifted her eyes slightly, calmly watching the hurt spread across Lu Zichen's face.

She pressed her red lips together. Her voice was cold, yet every word was domineering and arrogant.

Lu Zichen was the campus heartthrob of St. Peter's Aristocratic University.

He had been in many relationships, but had never given his heart to any of them.

For a scumbag like him, his so-called affection was nothing more than a game played on a whim.

Ye Huo utterly disdained him.

Lu Zichen asked in a hoarse voice, "Brat, what if I insist on making you my girlfriend?"

"Lu Zichen, didn't your mother teach you that both people have to be willing to date?"

Ye Huo's voice was cool and indifferent, but her words struck straight at his weak spot.

"You're actually rejecting me!"

Lu Zichen was stunned.

Countless girls fought to be his girlfriend, and he wasn't interested in any of them.

Yet she dismissed his advances with contempt.

Without so much as looking at him, Ye Huo answered firmly, "Yes."

Lu Zichen grew angry. "Who are you to look down on me? Who do you think you are? I humbled myself and came begging you. I was giving you face, wasn't I?"

"Heh. Scram."

Ye Huo narrowed her dark eyes, unimpressed, her tone sharp.

The boy's face turned white at the girl's words, which gave him no face at all.

He was so angry he wanted to step forward and beat Ye Huo.

"All of you, watch. Today, you're witnesses to a bet. Aren't you good at fighting? Then let's fight! If I win, how about you become my girlfriend?"

Lu Zichen spoke with great confidence.

He refused to believe that, with all his strength, he could lose to a little girl.

"Tsk! You got rejected and flew into a rage? A big guy like you picking a fight with a girl-have you no shame?"

Gu Wanyang rolled her eyes and spoke with some disdain.

Lu Zichen was indeed handsome, but his family had spoiled him.

He thought he was the protagonist of the world, but in Sister Huo's eyes, he was nothing more than an ant.

Ye Huo picked up a chicken drumstick with her fair fingers, took a bite, and sneered. "Fine! I need someone to serve me tea and run errands. If I win, you'll be my first lackey!"

"Fine! With so many witnesses, it's a deal. If you can beat me, I'll be your lackey!"

Lu Zichen spoke angrily.

He was the fighting king of this area, and he refused to believe he would lose to this girl.

Gu Wanyang took Ye Huo's hand and said worriedly, "Sister Huo, fighting is too scary. How about we find a teacher instead? If you can't beat him, you'll really have to be this fool's girlfriend..."

"It's fine."

Ye Huo's expression was cold, but her lips curved upward.

She had never lost before!

Everyone in the cafeteria gathered around.

Ye Huo slowly stood up and walked over to Lu Zichen.

Lu Zichen immediately launched a flying kick, sweeping his leg toward the girl!

Too slow!

Ye Huo casually took out a tissue and wiped the fingers that had just held the drumstick, then tossed it away.

In the next instant, she grabbed Lu Zichen's leg, swung him 180 degrees through the air, and sent him flying!

Lu Zichen was knocked unconscious by the impact.

At that moment, he felt like a rag doll in the girl's hands.

Her attack was fierce and swift as lightning. It was downright terrifying.

"You!!!"

Lu Zichen's backside hurt from the fall.

Ye Huo slowly walked over to him, a disdainful smile curling her lips, as though she had long known he would lose badly.

"You lost."

Ye Huo spoke those two words calmly.

Lu Zichen was stunned!

He had never seen a girl so formidable. Not only had she thrown him in an instant, but her strength and speed were overwhelming!

That wasn't something an ordinary person could do!

So ruthless!

"I lost."

Lu Zichen spoke dejectedly.

He knew very well that, whether in speed, strength, or anything else, he was nowhere near the same level as the girl before him.

He had lost!

"Very good. From now on, you're my lackey."

A dangerous curve appeared at the corner of Ye Huo's mouth as she looked down at him.

She was the cold and ruthless queen of mercenaries. How could she lose to a mere university student?

Heh!

Lu Zichen was utterly won over.

He bit his lip, but his eyes were full of respect as he slowly said, "Boss, I'll follow you from now on!"

"From now on, you're not allowed to chase girls at random anymore."

Ye Huo's gaze deepened slightly as she gave this playboy her first order.

"Yes."

Although Lu Zichen wasn't very reliable, he wasn't bad at heart.

He would always keep his word.

"You're dismissed!"

A hint of laughter passed through Ye Huo's eyes as she spoke calmly.

"Yes, boss."

Lu Zichen stood up and left, looking dazed and dejected.

This time, he truly understood what it felt like to be outmatched.

He had been too arrogant, too confident, and too conceited before, looking down on everyone. But now he had finally met someone he could admire.

He decided that from now on he would follow his boss faithfully, turn over a new leaf, and start anew!
