This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome-Novel2

Chapter 178: Not Just Strong-Willed

Immediately following this, the door to the office opened, and two middle-aged people—a man and a woman—entered the room. The man was in a trim suit and looked like a businessman, while the middle-aged woman was bloated and obese, in a luxurious long dress and bearing a haughty expression.

“This is the little b*tch who injured my son!” the middle-aged woman said while pointing a finger straight at Lu Shanshan. “Hubby, you need to get the school to expel this b*tch!”

“Miss Liu, I’m Lu Benwei’s father, Lu Zhengyu!” the middle-aged man stepped forward to say. “My son has been heavily injured at your school, and the school needs to make amends to my son for this incident, or our family will not let this incident rest. Furthermore, you should know that my son is an Awakened who has awakened an ability to do magic, so he is now under the wing of the Agency of Special Affairs. If you don’t deal with this matter, we will get the relevant departments to handle it!”

“Parents of Lu Benwei, please calm yourselves down first. I think Shanshan is still a child, and she did not mean to hurt your son!”

The teacher moved forward, putting herself between them and Lu Shanshan.

This instantly changed Lu Xuan’s opinion of her. This teacher had seemed to be teaching Lu Shanshan to accept compromises, but in the critical moment, her soul as a teacher seemed to burst out in full display.

She acted even though Lu Shanshan was much stronger than her and did not need her protection.

“She did not mean it? Are you going to let it go just because this little b*tch says it wasn’t intentional? I’m going to make her pay. I want this little b*tch expelled!”

The middle-aged woman lost her temper at once and began hurling abuses.

“I’m going to teach her a proper lesson today on behalf of her parents!”

However, before she could say anything even more insulting, a large palm came swinging towards her.

The middle-aged woman was slapped so hard that she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At this moment, everyone realized that Lu Xuan had hit her.

“Teach her a lesson on our behalf? Who the hell are you?” Lu Xuan sneered coldly.

If this was his past life, it was something that would never have happened. A regular rich merchant would never dare to make a ruckus about teaching a highly cultivated Cultivator a lesson.

That was simply suicidal.

It was because, during that time, everyone knew how terrifying these Cultivators were, and would never dare to provoke them. historical

However, in the present day, the changes in the world were only just beginning, so the logic of many people was still the same as how it was in the past. They naturally believed that money and authority made one powerful.

If this incident happened a few years later, the teacher, Miss Liu, would be more worried about the student Lu Benwei and not Lu Shanshan.

“You dare hit me? Lu Zhengyu, did you see that? He dared to hit me! Hurry up and call the cops, I want him locked away for a long time!”

The woman was stunned and could not react at all, turning to scream at the man like a fishwife.

The man was about to lash out in anger, but when he had a close look at Lu Xuan’s face, he suddenly began trembling with fear, and his legs almost gave out under him.

“Lu… Mr. Lu!”

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, asking, “You recognize me?”

He was slightly surprised because he had no impression of ever meeting this Lu Zhengyu before.

“I only caught a glimpse of you once at a banquet in a mountain villa, Mister Lu, sir!” Lu Zhengyu hurriedly explained. “I never expected to meet you here, Mister Lu. I’ve made a terrible mistake, sir!”

Lu Xuan knew which mountain villa banquet he was talking about right away, and it was not difficult to guess because he had only ever attended one such banquet.

There were too many people there at the time, all of whom were bosses of their own companies in Min Province.

This Lu Zhengyu was probably standing in a corner somewhere, basically going unnoticed by Lu Xuan.

And while Lu Xuan paid no attention to Lu Zhengyu, Lu Zhengyu had completely committed Lu Xuan to memory. It was no exaggeration to say that on that night, his views on life, values, and the world were utterly subverted.

He had only found out at that time that aside from the world of merchants and politicians, there was actually also a world of Cultivators.

Furthermore, this world of Cultivators had an influence on the financial world.

He had not known about this because he was too low on the ladder, and never came into contact with people from the world of Cultivators.

To be there that day, he had to beg and plead to get an invitation from a secret source, and it allowed him the privilege of seeing Lu Xuan’s display of power.

Up till now, that scene had remained fixed in his mind, and try as he might, he could not forget it.

To people in the financial world, the world of Cultivators was a far superior existence. To the people in the world of Cultivators, Lu Xuan was one of the outstanding individuals.

He had seen how fierce Lu Xuan was when he took a life and how he seemed to be completely above the law.

When he saw that, he knew that this was what it truly meant to be someone on top of the world!

Afterward, he had tried to gather information about him but was unsuccessful. He only found out that the man called Mr. Lu was a real big deal in Min Province and was second to none.

Several months had passed since that incident, and the government had suddenly announced the existence of the world of Cultivators while promoting cultivation practices. Their son had also awakened to his magic powers, becoming one of the Awakened, and even made connections under the Agency of Special Affairs.

He had initially believed that their family could now enjoy a meteoric rise up the social ladder. Who would have expected them to actually step on the toes of a huge superpower that nobody could afford to cross?

Even the big shots that he had to pay respects to in Min Province were ordered around like dogs in front of this Mr. Lu.

The influence that scene had on him was burned too deeply into his mind.

At this moment, he came to realize just how crazy he had been. He had not even stopped to consider that his son was an Awakened and not a regular human. Anyone who could put him in the hospital would not be a regular person, and would not be someone they could afford to provoke.

Smack!

There was another slap, but this time it was not delivered by Lu Xuan, but by Lu Zhengyu.

“It’s all your fault, woman. You didn’t bring up our son the right way, and he’s only learned how to be hedonistic, living off his parent’s riches. This is what’s caused this disaster today!”

Smack!

As he said this, he slapped the middle-aged woman once again.

The successive slaps left the middle-aged woman punch-drunk. She never expected that her own husband would not help her and even take someone else’s side against her.

From the side, the teacher Miss Liu was also dumbfounded. What was going on here?

Before this, she had thought that this stubborn pair of siblings would be in big trouble for stepping on the Lu family’s toes, but now it seemed like it was the other way around. The Lu family had chosen the wrong people to pick a fight with.

She felt like maybe they were not just strong-willed? Maybe they were actually strong like Invincible Vajras?

“That’s enough. You can stop putting on an act!”

Lu Xuan stopped him impassively.

Lu Zhengyu immediately ceased what he was doing with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, as Lu Xuan had seen right through him.

“Seeing as your wife has yet to commit a serious mistake today, I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourselves. Donate ten million to the school for them to build a new school building, and you can count it as a way of earning karma!” Lu Xuan said lightly.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Lu! Thank you very much, Mr. Lu!”

Lu Zhengyu was overjoyed. Although he felt the pinch from spending ten million, getting out of this incident unscathed was more than he could have hoped for.

Suddenly, at this very moment, there was the sound of screaming and exclamations coming from outside.
