Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 88 Flanders paid to ransom the man, losing all his money in the process.

"vomit!"

Xiao Wu vomited violently into the river below the bridge.

This is disgusting! How could Tang San and the other three do such a thing? Bu Le is a man, and a perverted old man at that!

Bai Yu patted Xiao Wu on the back, and Xiao Wu said with a mournful face:

"Xiaoyu, I can't take it anymore! I'm leaving Shrek Academy, leaving these four freaks!"

. . . . . .

Yanran plopped down on the ground, staring in horror at the four beasts.

She heard Bu Le's screams and cries for help, and without caring about her appearance, she scrambled away from the place.

After running for a long time, she finally saw a group of guards and rushed over to them, incoherently reporting the incident.

The guards listened for a long time but still couldn't understand, so they had no choice but to follow her to the bridge, where they witnessed the horrifying scene of four against one.

The captain of the guards, pale-faced, roared:

"I've served in Soto City for twenty years, and I've never seen such disgusting people! Lock them all up and take them back to the city lord for punishment!"

"yes!"

At this moment, Oscar straightened his back, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun stretched out their legs, and Bu Le completely fainted.

The four of them turned around at the same time, facing the rushing guards, and each displayed their unique abilities.

Haotian Dog's fart sent the guards staggering backward. Ma Hongjun used Phoenix Fire Line to create a wall of fire on the ground, Dai Mubai used White Tiger Blazing Light Wave to create a blinding light, and Oscar directly summoned the Aphrodisiac Sausage and threw it into the crowd. The guards immediately became breathless, and their eyes changed when they looked at their comrades.

"Don't panic, form a battle formation!"

The captain of the guard suppressed his intense desire and gave an order. The other soldiers struggled to form a circular formation, and the auras of the ten Great Soul Masters instantly broke through to the Soul Venerable level.

However, Dai Mubai and Tang San were both Soul Masters, and even when the team formed an array, they were no match for the two and were quickly driven back.

Tang San and the other three exchanged glances, and they all understood each other's meaning.

I just had some fun, so it's not a good idea to confront the guards directly. I'll just run!

However, at this moment, another group of guards arrived and blocked the other side of the bridge. Moreover, this group of guards was obviously of a higher level. The captain was a Soul Master and the other members were Soul Venerables!

Tang San and the other three's expressions froze.

Who the hell tipped them off?!

. . . . . .

The next day, Yu Xiaogang was lying in Flander's arms reading a book when suddenly there was a knock on the door. The two quickly got up, dressed, and pretended that nothing had happened. Then Flander opened the door.

Outside the door, Zhao Wuji said anxiously:

"Big brother, something's happened! Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar have been arrested by the city lord of Soto City!"

"What?!"

Flander and Yu Xiaogang both exclaimed in surprise. Flander frowned and said:

"What right does he have to detain our people?"

Zhao Wuji immediately looked embarrassed.

Yu Xiaogang walked over and said seriously:

"Zhao Wuji, tell me, if he's being unreasonable, we'll go to Tiandou City and report him!"

Zhao Wuji forced himself to speak:

"The four of them encountered a pervert who was stalking women one night, then they captured him and took him away without permission."

"They beat him up? That shouldn't be the case. Could this thug be related to the city lord?"

Yu Xiaogang looked furious.

Flanders chimed in:

"What's the big deal about beating up a thug? If he wasn't killed, what right does the city lord have to arrest people?"

Seeing the two indignant men, Zhao Wuji forced himself to speak, gritting his teeth as he said:

"The four of them gang-raped that thug!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Flanders and Yu Xiaogang wearing expressions that he couldn't understand.

. . . . . .

In the city lord's mansion, a refined and easy-going man, more like a scholar than a military general, sat at the head of the table. He was Li Changkong, the city lord of Soto City.

Below, an old man asked:

"Lord, those four little monsters have been identified as students of Shrek Academy. I have already sent someone to invite Dean Flander to come. After all, he is a Soul Saint. Would you like to meet him in person?"

Li Changkong stood up and said calmly:

"Prepare a reception room for me!"

Soon, in the reception room, Flander met Li Changkong, gave a slight bow, and instead of getting straight to the point, exchanged pleasantries:

"Lord Li, how have you been?"

"Dean Flander, long time no see! I heard your student did something amazing—captured a thug and maintained order. Great news, great news!"

Li Changkong's admiring expression made Flander's face turn pale and then red.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Li Changkong let him in; it was the same old man from before.

The old man said:

"City Lord, Tang San and his companions."

He recounted what Tang San and his companions had done, and Li Changkong immediately showed a shocked expression before looking at Flander.

Flander was furious. He knew that Li Changkong was putting on an act to control him, but what Tang San and the others had done was so outrageous that he had no choice but to back down!

"Lord Li, this matter is due to my inadequate supervision as the dean. Please punish me."

Flander didn't dare to provoke Li Changkong either. Li Changkong had a prince behind him, and he wasn't the only Soul Emperor in Soto City. If he really made a move, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

Li Changkong sighed, looking much more haggard than before, and said in a deep voice:

"Dean Flander, we've known each other for a long time. I contributed a lot when Shrek Academy was being set up, and now that this has happened, I'm ashamed of myself."

Flander's lips twitched involuntarily.

You didn't do a single damn thing! I've only met you a few times in all these years!

Li Changkong drew back the curtains of the reception room, gesturing for Flander to look outside.

From the reception room that Li Changkong had specially chosen, Flander could see the entrance to the city lord's mansion at a glance, where a crowd had gathered. Although he couldn't hear what they were shouting, Flander could still clearly see the signs they were holding.

"Drive the perverts out of Soto!"

"Give our children a safe environment!"

"Men need to protect themselves when they're out and about!"

Flander clenched his fists and turned to look at Li Changkong.

He understood that if this bastard hadn't instructed him to do it, how could the events of last night have spread so quickly?!

Flander, suppressing his anger, said again in a deep voice:

"Lord Li, it was my dereliction of duty. Please punish me."

Li Changkong sighed, said some polite words, and finally announced his decision:

"This matter is egregious, both in its nature and in terms of public outcry. If our City Lord's Mansion wants to suppress it, it will require a tremendous amount of manpower and resources. But since we're old friends, how about this: let's settle this with money. It'll be 15,000 gold soul coins per person, a total of 60,000 gold soul coins. You only need to pay 50,000. This is mainly to quell public anger."

Flander's face stiffened.

Damn it, I even mortgaged the academy, where am I going to get the money?!

But if they didn't pay, Tang San and his friends would go to jail, so Flander had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Alright! Thank you, Lord Li. But I don't have that much cash. I need to find a way to raise the money. Please grant me some time."

Lord Li laughed and said:

"It's alright, is three months enough? Just write a contract, take your student back first, and pay the fine within three months."

Flanders readily agreed.

Lord Li breathed a sigh of relief. With the shares in the money shop and the fine from Flanders, the financial crisis of the city lord's mansion could finally be alleviated! Flanders' academy was still here; he couldn't possibly run away, could he?

Flander breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm penniless now. I'll take everyone and run away within three months. Fine? Fine my ass!"
