Chapter 50: The Ones Who Should Be Expelled Are You Guys

Adrian and his sister Alice arrived at the office.

“What’s the verdict, director?”

“What’s the point of the rules if he isn’t expelled in this situation?”

However, no one paid any attention to the siblings. They were completely absorbed by projection on the wall.

The image projected on the wall was no different from a movie. It recorded what happened in the restaurant in the Gold District last night.

“Oh my God… It’s a multi-angle video? AND It can be fast-forwarded?!”Locke’s eyes widened. He was once again fascinated by this world of beasts!

A few minutes later, everyone had finished watching the “recording”.

Charles was silent, while Adrian and his sister frowned.

The four lackeys were sweating profusely.

“My Global Sentinels don’t lie. This is how the incident last night transpired. These four students were trying to cripple Locke. His retaliation is just in the laws of the Federation! Heck, even if Locke killed them, he would still be in the right…”

Diana’s tone was like a judge, impartial, and straight to the point.

“Ahem… can the four of you explain what’s going on?” Charles had no way out of this, and he was left with no other choice but to question the lackeys.

Naturally, there was no way that they could answer the question. The four of them could only look at Adrian with inquiring eyes.

“Here’s the truth: In order to drive student Locke out of the academy, not only did they try to harm him, they even tried to get him expelled. I’d like to inquire you, oh Director of Education, how should they be punished?”

Tristan[1] immediately asked Charles.

The situation had been reversed, and the director who was on the offensive just moments ago was now on the defensive.

Right now, all eyes were on him.

He was extremely vexed!

First was the evidence. Diana was the Director of Security who was hired by the higher-ups of the Federation. Her Battle Beasts had the “True Records” ability, and as such, he had no way to deny her claims.

Then there was Adrian. The pampered young master had been pressuring him since morning. He had no issues ignoring Adrian’s request, but he was under Old Man White’s payroll.

This was what made Charles uncomfortable. If he did not cooperate with Adrian’s requests, who knew what punishment he would receive from the White family.

Looking at Charles’ troubled expression, Adrian spoke, “There was no scene of my four classmates being beaten up in the video just now! But they are now covered in injuries! Locke must be angry and went to sneak attack them again at night! Does this mean he doesn’t have to take responsibility?”

He could only seize this loophole and counterattack!

“Yes. This might be the case. Taking revenge like this is against the academy’s rules as well!” Charles immediately followed up and cooperated with Adrian.

“Hehe…”As if she had expected them to make this claim, Diana blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Adrian with contempt. “My Global Sentinels did not just patrol the Gold District last night. In fact, two of them happened to be near your mansion. Do you want to watch another movie?”

Hearing the other party’s words, Adrian’s words were caught in his throat. For a moment, he was speechless.

If Diana were to play the footage of him beating up the four guys last night, he would be in trouble!

What he was afraid of was not the academy’s punishment, but rather, his father!

Old Man White was someone who placed the honor of the family above everything else!

If news of Adrian abusing his classmates were to spread, it would definitely damage the reputation of the White Family!

After he returned home, Old Man White might teach him a lesson!

At the thought of this, Adrian immediately lowered his head in fear.

Alice noticed that her brother was at his wit’s end. She rolled her eyes and said to Charles, “For this kind of thing, students who fight should be expelled together! No matter how many there are!”

The four people standing at the side looked at Alice in surprise.

‘This lady is vicious!’

In order to get rid of Locke, she had completely ignored the future of the four students!

Even if they were dogs, they should not be treated like this!

However, the four students remained silent as they feared the power of the White Family.

“Student Alice! The Federation’s Academy is not owned by the White Family! How this situation is dealt with is up to Charles and Diana!” Tristan sounded serious, after a pause, he continued, “Also! This matter doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, right? What are you doing here? Hurry up and return to your class!”

Diana adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and uttered in a grave tone, “The matter is already very clear. Four students assaulted a freshman and nearly caused a big incident. As the Director of Security appointed by the higher-ups of the Federation, I have only one opinion. Expel the four students who blatantly violated the academy’s rules!”

Then, she looked at Charles, who was sweating profusely. “You don’t have any objections, right?”

What other objections could there be? Now that there was irrefutable proof present, there was no way to he could deny them. This punishment was absolutely in accordance with the academy’s rules.

Charles could only acquiesce in silence.

“Young master! Save us…”

“I was born in a small family. It was not easy for me to get in…”

“Young master, Please ask your father to help…”

A few students begged bitterly, but Adrian lowered his head and pretended not to see them. He quickly walked out of the office.

Alice was still high-spirited when she left. She even said to the four students who had sacrificed their future for them, “What garbage…”

Then, Diana called a few people from the security room to pull the four crying students away.

There was no turning back at this point.

Charles could already imagine being lambasted by Old Man White in the next two days.

His face was cold. He said to Tristan, who was about to leave, “Next time you come in, remember to knock on the door…”

However, Tristan, who was usually good-tempered, was also irritated by this sentence. He turned his head and said, “Even a student like Adrian doesn’t need to knock on the door! I don’t think I need to do that, right?”

With that, they led Locke out.

The only person who remained in the office was a bitter Charles.

“Thank you, instructors. I didn’t expect them to be so shameless…”Locke’s gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

After all, the instructors were not related to him, and yet, they had provided him with so much assistance.

Diana smiled and said, “I originally worked in the Federal Court, so it’s only natural that I have a heart of justice. I will not malign good people, and I will not let bad people go.”

Locke did not expect that this great beauty was actually an iron-faced judge[2]!

“However, you were lucky as well. Had I not been on patrol last night, you would be in deep waters by now…”

“Instructor, your Battle Beast is amazing! To think that they can observe Adrian in his room!” Locke joked.

[1] I apologize, but I’ve mistaken Tristan’s name as Trista instead due to the raw’s pinyin. The author finally mentions Tristan’s gender in this chapter, so I’ll be referring to Trista as Tristan from now onwards.

[2] A term that is used to refer to Justice Bao, a prominent judge in the Song Dynasty.
