Devil Fruit Era: My Max-Level Armament Haki Flowing Sakura

Chapter 78 Principal's Suicide - One Shot, Two Lives

The struggling limbs and sounds gradually faded away with the passage of time.

Digestion begins at the top of the head, then moves down to the chest after the head is gone, and finally to the waist...

Zhang He, who died with his eyes wide open, still had his remaining limbs twitching violently inside someone's stomach due to muscle reflexes.

The old woman rose in the darkness, and those in the shadows could only watch her still-moving belly and feel resentful!

A toad is a toad! It won't even let a tiny fly escape!

Click, click, click...

After the beast form faded and the sounds ceased, having eaten and drunk her fill, the old hag swayed away with her plump body.

The rest of the people who were hiding in the shadows also dispersed.

Eating a person alive is no big deal; that's just how dark alleys are.

......

The night was like an all-encompassing curtain, and no one knew what was happening inside.

As dawn breaks, vegetable vendors set out to sell their produce under the cover of darkness, with cars occasionally speeding by on the road.

People who know each other well chat happily while sweating, and the morning screen, accompanied by noise and the aroma of food, is gradually unveiled.

Gradually, the traffic became like a sea, and crowds gathered in front of the 7-star 8 Days Inn.

The students who spent the night here are heading back home today.

Originally, Liu Shiyi planned to stay in Hangzhou with Ye Chi until the martial arts exam began, but unexpected events always come one after another.

The principal of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School committed suicide by overdosing on medication last night!

Upon hearing the news, the students lowered their heads in sorrow and walked step by step toward the bus returning to the city.

A handsome young man, two meters tall, stood with his hands in his pockets. Liu Shiyi walked alongside him, but when they reached the car door, she paused, turned around, and asked, "Are you going back too?"

Ye Chi touched his nose and said, "Since the principal has passed away, I should at least go back for a visit."

As a member of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, I was qualified to acquire Devil Fruit abilities only because of the certificates they provided.

Moreover, Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School is currently at the center of the controversy surrounding the "Fish Theory," so it's only right that they go back.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyi smiled with relief, feeling happy for Ye Chi's thoughtfulness.

"With you here, the school might not necessarily fall apart."

"It'll spread...that seriously?"

Ye Chi felt a pang of fear and some doubt.

The principal has passed away; can't we just replace him with someone else?

The two boarded the bus. Liu Shiyi, her fragrant black-stockinged legs crossed, sat at an angle. She sighed and explained:

"You don't know, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School is unlike other schools; it doesn't have any financial backing. For a long time, the school has been supported by the old principal alone..."

Now that the former principal has committed suicide, Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School is not only leaderless, but also under immense pressure from public opinion.

Public opinion is a fearsome thing; sometimes these four words are far more powerful than actual violence!

“The school can change its principal, but the problem is that no one can take on this responsibility... Funding, connections, education, management, and various other abilities are not so easily replaced.”

Hearing this, Ye Chi probably understood.

In the past, the old principal shouldered the responsibility alone, but now that he has fallen, Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School will also fall apart.

"So that means the school will be dissolved if it can't find a new principal?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyi glanced at Ye Chi, then her beautiful eyes flickered without her saying a word.

Ye Chi found her appearance rather strange. After asking, Liu Shiyi hesitated before saying, "Actually... the old principal left a will..."

A suicide note?

Ye Chi suddenly sensed something was strange.

Liu Shiyi pursed her thin lips, tapped her delicate fingers, brought up the photo, and handed it to Ye Chi.

He glanced at it:

"Student Ye Chi, I am deeply ashamed tonight. Amidst Yingying's tirade and when students were in need of protection!"

But I... have done something shameful, I have failed you, I have failed as the principal, I have no face to live anymore...

After reading the elegant handwriting, Ye Chi's expression became extremely strange.

The old principal's suicide note seems to be an apology letter he wrote specifically for himself, taking full responsibility for all the mistakes and offering a solemn apology... while hoping that he would not blame the school.

Finally, he specifically instructed that Ms. Liu Shiyi should take over as principal...

"this..."

Seeing Ye Chi's changing expression, Liu Shiyi sighed and confessed:

"Actually, the former principal and I spoke on the phone yesterday. The will he wrote asking me to succeed him as principal, which must have involved you."

Ye Chi instantly understood that the old man's suicide last night was probably an attempt to silence Yu Lun with his death and then use Liu Shiyi to bind himself.

In this way, Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School not only solved its current troubles and had no worries about the future, but also had a bright future ahead of it.

"It's a good plan."

Ye Chi shook his head with amusement, looking at the apology-filled suicide note, his heart also grew colder.

Liu Shiyi stared at Ye Chi with her beautiful eyes, and seeing his expression, her brows furrowed.

"If you don't want to, I won't go back."

Hearing Liu Shiyi's stubborn, girlish words, Ye Chi felt a warmth in his heart and smiled gently as he met her gaze:

“I won’t hold a grudge against a dead person. You should go back to being the principal.”

"No matter what, that's the place of hope for students in Jiangcheng. I don't want to graduate from society without any roots."

Phew!

Liu Shiyi chuckled foolishly; how could she not understand what Ye Chi meant?

His character is excessively excellent!

"Having taught such an outstanding student as you, I probably won't find another one like you in my entire career," Liu Shiyi exclaimed.

Ye Chi continued with a laugh, "Don't even think about the second one! Someone like me is in a league of their own throughout the ages!"

Liu Shiyi glared at Ye Chi with her misty eyes and said, "You, your skin is thicker than a city wall! I'm going to tell my students that their best senior is always shameless and never forgets to show off!"

"You don't understand, this is confidence! The confidence of a super strong person!..."

As the two chatted, the bus drove out of Hangzhou, winding through tree-lined roads in the suburbs before heading straight for the highway.

wow——

An unusual gust of wind suddenly swept through the deserted road and the woods along the highway bridge.

In the lead escort vehicle, the third-tier expert in the passenger seat seemed to sense something unusual in the wind.

A chilling atmosphere prevailed!

Just as he narrowed his eyes, a muffled gunshot, barely audible, was heard from the shadows of the trees beside him, carried on the wind.

Suddenly, a bullet shot out with tremendous force, creating ripples in the air.

The car that was speeding towards it was shot through at a special angle!

The sound of the wind rustling through the dense forest continued incessantly. Suddenly, an indescribable sense of urgency arose in the heart of the third-tier expert, and his brows furrowed deeply!

His eyes instinctively glanced to the left, and the sudden change caused his pupils to contract instantly!

Whoosh—

The bullet shattered the glass, instantly smashed the driver's skull, and then sprayed a chilling spray of blood, magnified in the eyes of the third-tier expert!

bullet?

Enemy attack!!

An alarm bell rang in my mind, but it was only after my brain processed the information that the alarm bells went off.

The deadly bullet had already blown off his skull, shattering his head as it flew out the other side.

Poof!

Absolutely deadly, one shot, two lives!

The terrifying sniper smirked, and then the lead car, driverless, veered off course and crashed straight into the roadside railing!

boom! !

prick--

The escort vehicle in front crashed into the guardrail and broke down, and the bus following closely behind also braked suddenly. Everyone was caught off guard and suffered headaches and crooked noses.

"Damn! What's going on?"

"Driver, are you out of your mind? How are you driving?"

"What the hell?! I almost got into trouble!"

As the students clutched their wounds and complained, Ye Chi and Liu Shiyi exchanged a glance, their eyes slightly furrowed as they looked at the escort vehicle ahead.

"Everyone, be quiet and stay in the car. The escort vehicle ahead has had an accident. The teacher is going down to check on the situation."

The escort vehicle had an accident?

Everyone's heart skipped a beat!

Liu Shiyi suppressed the commotion inside the car and prepared to get out and go over.

Just as she was about to step out of the car in her black stockings and ankle boots, Ye Chi suddenly grabbed her snowy arm.

"what happened?"

Liu Shiyi tilted her head in surprise, only to see Ye Chi staring straight ahead at the car platform.
