Chapter 671: Security Bureau: Ran into the Teaching Assistant at Work Today
“One… one million!”
At this moment, they were shocked to the core by such a number, and even their initial fear turned into something unrecognizable beneath this figure.
They pulled out their phones, checking the fifty thousand that had just arrived, while I quietly waited for their reactions to settle.
After all, one million is an incredibly large sum for a low-income ordinary family.
However… if it was really spent, it seemed… not that much; a million cannot support a family in living wealthily forever, and they thought so too.
“One… one million is not enough!” After they said this, they seemed to find a sudden burst of courage, perhaps… it was due to the call they had made to the Security Bureau? Or was it my previously casual tone?
“One million is not enough? I knew it, with your appetite, it’s surely not enough. So how about two million?”
“Two million! Two million is enough… enough… um!” The woman trembled instinctively upon hearing the number, hurriedly preparing to agree, as if afraid I might back out, but she was silenced by the man beside her.
“d*mn it, you long-haired dimwit, what gives you the right to talk here? Her two million doesn’t count! I want five million! I need five million!” At this moment, he lowered his voice and scolded the woman he was holding, like a gambler tentatively testing my limits, as if he were a rogue negotiating in reverse.
“Okay then~”
I replied nonchalantly, even though… five million indeed exceeded my expectations.
I had quite a bit of money, mostly made up of extraordinary materials, primarily red copper, secret silver, and aoqin-like assets from the Expanding Realm. Hmm… I seemed to have asked Millien to help me develop a support group using those assets?
But to extract over a million in liquid cash in a short period… was indeed troublesome…
Yet at this moment, they seemed shocked once again by my nonchalant demeanor.
“No! What he said doesn’t count! Ten million! We’re talking about ten million!”
At this moment, the woman whose mouth was covered seemed to finally awaken, and their greedy nature drove them to continually raise their bid. Even their bargaining faces from a market couldn’t fully describe their current ambitions.
Because now they were thinking… about completely turning their fortunes around!
Figures they once dared not even dream of were now spilling from their mouths, as if they were bitter over why their elementary school didn’t teach them more math.
Because their bids had skyrocketed to the hundreds of millions.
I slightly tilted my head and looked at Sister Bai, as if signaling her to witness the fools.
Hundreds of billions… hehe… the paper bills could be piled under their house, enough to raise the foundation by a meter.
When their bids reached the hundreds of millions… to be honest, I began to see them as a joke.
At first, I genuinely intended to use money to sever the last remnants of our relationship, meaning to repay them for the money they spent raising me since childhood.
Looking at it now, I probably wouldn’t need to anymore, or rather, once I agreed to their ceaselessly inflated bids, I already viewed them as a joke.
Until their bids became slower in tone and cadence.
“Keep bidding, why have you stopped? So it turns out you also know how to feel embarrassed?” I inquired.
“You… you don’t plan to pay, do you! I don’t want one trillion anymore! One hundred… no, two million! Just give us two million!”
In this moment, they perfectly portrayed a gambler’s greed and cowardice, first infinitely climbing higher, then slowly contemplating preserving their capital upon realizing the risks, only to still hope for a little profit afterward.
That one million seemed to already have entered their wallets, becoming their bargaining chip, and they shamelessly continued to haggle with me.
“We know you are Yang Yuelan, we don’t doubt it… we also know you want to completely sever ties with us… we just need two million, once the two million arrives, whatever you want to do, even if you act as if I’m not your son, it’s fine…” They seemed to feel their bargaining chip was insufficient, attempting to find reasons for their actions.
But it must be said… when it came to discussing money, their intelligence seemed to regain its footing; even just based on my current behavior and a few lines of dialogue, they understood what I was there for.
“Dad! Mom! What are you doing!”
Just at that stage of discussion, Yang Yunhan wandered out of the study, looking lost.
This process of coming to terms didn’t take much time, which also meant that my conversation with them was brief; including from one million to several hundred billion, all happened in just a few minutes.
They demonstrated with practical actions that a person’s greed knows no bounds; the only thing that made them sober was… the moment they began to doubt whether I could pay the price they quoted.
“You little brat, what are you butting in for now!” At this moment, they fiercely scolded their “young son”.
After all, considering the current situation, a “big son” who could surely pull out over a million to sever familial ties, versus a “little son” who was becoming increasingly disappointing and hopeless, the choice was obvious; they only cared about who could bring them benefit.
“Get back to your study! You have no say here!”
When this was shouted, the atmosphere fell into an inexplicable silence, as if something was constantly weighing down, severing all reason with that shout.
“Xiao Han… don’t mind him…”
“You… have you ever cared about my feelings!”
The man sitting on the sofa hadn’t finished speaking when he was abruptly interrupted by another high-decibel voice.
This hysterical roar and questioning, accompanied by a cracking voice and extreme excitement, completely vented the grievances he had suffered during this time.
He had never questioned his “parents” so loudly before; the intense emotion drove adrenaline through his frail body, making him tremble uncontrollably.
For the first time, he disregarded everything and raised his voice in this home, so much so that he didn’t even notice when his voice broke.
“I’m really fed up with both of you! I’ve never seen such terrible parents! You are just…”
His words were interrupted as a figure stood up and approached him, and the hysterical demeanor from before instantly wilted, even the volume of his voice weakened slightly.
Slap——!
With a crisp sound echoing through the house, their “young son” was directly slapped down to the floor; the force of this slap exceeded Yang Yunhan’s capacity to bear.
He only knew he stumbled and fell to the ground, a buzzing in his left ear, and both ears began to grow increasingly unclear, his mouth numb, and then the sharp pain began to slowly rise along with the spreading taste of rust.
At this point, his self-righteous dignity was thoroughly shattered by this slap, all the grievances he had suffered, the anger he wanted to express, the recognition he sought, the determination he had set, the courage he had mustered, the carefully chosen words, all he had invested to arrive here… were all blown away by this slap.
And his inner being was utterly crushed to the point where nothing remained…
While they were still thinking about the money, outside the window, the sirens of the Security Bureau’s vehicles could be faintly heard.
They were rushing here, and the sound grew louder.
I glanced outside in slight astonishment; the efficiency of the Security Bureau… could it be this fast?
Or were they particularly vigilant during this time, close to the college entrance exams?
But that didn’t matter; as the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way. They had dug a big pit for themselves.
However, now that I heard the arrival of the Security Bureau, the most anxious were ironically the two people across from me.
After all, in their view, if the Security Bureau intervened, then… the matter was detached from money.
Thus, they grew visibly anxious, hurriedly getting up and mumbling something akin to nonsense.
Before long, a team from the Security Bureau entered the house without resistance because the front door had been left open since my earlier intrusion.
“Security Bureau at work! We received reports of someone… huh?”
As soon as the Security Bureau personnel entered, they were astonished by the scene in front of them.
A teenager lying on the ground, bl**d at his mouth, a woman with disheveled hair being held by the collar, and two middle-aged people rushing in to block them from doing their work.
“Officer! Officer… it was me who called the police, it was me! We’re fine, really just a family dispute, we’re fine!”
“Yeah! We’re fine! Really fine!”
“Step aside! Whether you’re fine or not is not for you two to decide!” Among them, the woman in charge frowned and forcefully pushed the two aside; after all, she had graduated from the Extraordinary Academy, and her elevated vision looked down upon these ordinary people, especially those obstructing their work!
In such situations, they typically used pressure from their life levels to suppress the scene directly; while they had lost their extraordinary power, they still retained their lives.
But after losing the Magic Source that enabled their continuous witch transformation, their life levels also continuously dropped, until they fell to a level just slightly above that of ordinary people.
The extraordinary path is like this; once one embarks on it, stagnation is equivalent to regression.
“You! And you! What is going on? Clearly state the situation; who is this woman you are holding?”
“I advise you not to speak to her like that.” At this moment, I also stood up, since the opposition aimed directly at Sister Bai, I could no longer remain seated.
“You! A student from the Extraordinary Academy?!” Upon seeing me, the other side’s expression instantly turned to shock!
With my appearance and my unique white hair, red pupils, they instinctively drew their weapons; after all, if I was truly a student from the Extraordinary Academy, they really couldn’t handle me!
Their equipped firearms were merely for self-defense; overall, firearms pose a threat to students from the Extraordinary Academy, but the threat is minimal.
The existence of firearms was more about deterring the opponent, so that negotiations could proceed calmly, and of course, it gave their executing members a bit of psychological comfort.
Thus, when they encountered a student from the Extraordinary Academy, they needed to report immediately, going through the Security Bureau and communicating with the Wei Ji Team, which involved a lengthy time gap; this situation was precisely what they dreaded!
“Guns?”
At this moment, I noticed their anxious demeanor but hadn’t expected firearms to be so widespread in the Security Bureau.
However, I wasn’t afraid; with my strong sense of time and body cultivation, standing there, they wouldn’t be able to hit me with a single b*llet.
“You Security Bureau personnel dare to point guns at me without understanding the situation… do you know the consequences of doing so?”
“You! Don’t come closer! I warn you, don’t come closer! Otherwise, I’ll sh**t immediately!”
“I hate it when people point guns at me.” I took out the phone provided by the academy, which I had not used in a while.
After all, I detest trouble, and the fastest way to prove my identity… was to show personal information on the phone.
Before displaying that, I similarly needed to demonstrate some means; otherwise… they might think I lacked temper.
Before they could react, I had already appeared in front of her, and my right hand was gripping the g*n tightly held in the leading woman’s hand.
Of course, I wasn’t trying to seize her g*n; I simply applied a little force, and the firearm bent and deformed, unable to withstand my body cultivation power.
Bang——!
With a loud bang, a b*llet inside the g*n was activated in this sudden change.
However, the fired b*llet couldn’t pass through the twisted g*n barrel I had grasped, leading to an explosion, and the b*llet blasted the already deformed pistol into countless fragments.
All of this happened in an incredibly short time, such that they didn’t even have time to respond.
I appeared to be unscathed.
However, the others looked like they were facing a great threat.
But they were currently within my territory; even a simple action like pulling the trigger was something they couldn’t accomplish.
I looked at the leading team leader; her fear was unmitigated.
Only she understood… she couldn’t pull the trigger at all.
She didn’t dare, for pulling the trigger would mean tearing the face off from a student wielding extraordinary powers!
As a former student of the Witch Academy, she understood how terribly unfair a spellbook was for a student!
Even if a low-grade student mastered a spellbook, the damage caused would be exceedingly terrifying.
But what had she done now? She had pulled the trigger!
Despairing, she felt a smooth object sliding into her hand.
The very object thrust into her hand was my phone, followed by my voice.
“The Teaching Assistant from Witch Academy is at work, what’s the Security Bureau doing here?”
“What… what?” At this moment, she suddenly felt that crushing force on her throat dissipate, and she finally gasped for air.
But when she heard “Teaching Assistant from Witch Academy,” her heart instantly leapt into her throat!
She stared blankly at the phone that had been forcibly shoved into her hand, disregarding the pain from her shattered g*n.
This phone was a unique model exclusive to the Witch Academy, also powered by magic, impossible to replicate.
She also saw the page displayed on the phone…
And the information and photo on it…
Especially that title… the two words “Teaching Assistant,” particularly glaring!
They… they hadn’t just run into the Teaching Assistant on duty!
What… what kind of luck is this?!
