Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 607 - 478: King of Divine Logic_3

"But if you leave the school and he causes trouble that involves the Bureau of Mystic Security, neither Shentu nor I can directly intervene."

Chen Gu laughed. "I don't believe that, Principal. You're the type who has to intervene when you see something you don't like. You wouldn't just give up because it's not officially your place."

The Principal laughed heartily, pointing at him and saying, "You know me well, kid! Study hard. Once you surpass Aviloya, I'll go out and tell everyone that you're my top student!"

Chen Gu flinched, wanting to refuse. Aviloya is undoubtedly the top student right now. If I take that title, I'm afraid the Director-General will never leave me alone.

However, Chen Gu obediently stayed put in the school. With two powerhouses protecting me, why wouldn't I hide here? Go out and confront a scoundrel over two hundred years old head-on? The moment you touch him, he'll just throw himself on the ground, and it's game over!

But there was one thing he couldn't avoid: he had to attend an away match.

The Beast League had worked hard on public relations for a long time to minimize the negative impact of two consecutive accidents. What the Alliance needed most now was to continually arrange matches for star players, creating more high-profile events. They aimed to win back the audience they had lost with thrilling contests.

And this time, Chen Gu needed to travel to Changning Star for an away match.

On the morning of his departure, he stealthily snuck out of the school, borrowed Qiao Shuangyi's car, and drove to the spaceport.

The moment he left the school gates, a team of special forces lying in ambush in the surrounding jungle spotted him through various surveillance devices.

They immediately called back, "Boss, Chen Gu is out."

By the shore of a sapphire lake in Capital Star's most expensive district, within a vast estate, an old man in swimming trunks and a floral shirt listened to the phone. He sipped juice fed to him by a youthful, swimsuit-clad beauty beside him and hummed, "Your mission is complete. Don't worry about the rest."

The special forces team withdrew immediately. As soon as they had packed up their surveillance equipment, notifications of payment received popped up in their accounts, bringing smiles to the faces of the retired operatives.

Inside the lakeside estate, the assistant behind the old man in the floral shirt asked, "Sir, aren't you departing?"

The old man's hands roamed over the curves and contours of the swimsuit-clad beauties beside him as he chuckled, "Heh heh, the only advantage of living a long life is gaining plenty of experience."

That devious Principal is definitely waiting for me in the shadows. I'm not going to look for Chen Gu on Capital Star and walk right into his trap.

The assistant seemed skeptical. "Chen Gu has already left the Huai Shan Branch School, and this is a matter for the Bureau of Mystic Security. The Principal wouldn't intervene, would he?"

The old man cackled like a duck. "You still don't understand the Principal. Prepare the spaceship; we're heading directly to Changning Star."

「...」

The Principal had been following, watching Chen Gu board the spaceship. He pouted with considerable regret. That old scoundrel actually didn't show up? I've found him an eyesore for ages and have been itching to beat him up for just as long, but the old scoundrel didn't give me the chance.

The Principal turned back, feeling helpless.

「...」

The match on Changning Star was very important. Chen Gu had been worried the entire journey, but he arrived on the colony star smoothly. Even his pre-match training was undisturbed.

However, at seven-thirty in the evening, just as the match was about to begin and spectators had already filled the stadium, a sudden commotion erupted outside Chen Gu's locker room.

"Hey... you can't go in... OUCH..."

Immediately after, the locker room door was pushed open. An old man in a floral shirt, flanked by several Experts, barged in.

A large group of bodyguards in black suits followed, forcibly keeping the Alliance personnel outside.

The old man grinned, looking Chen Gu up and down, then waved his hand. "That's him. Take him away."

Several Experts stepped forward. The old man "kindly" reminded Chen Gu, "Don't resist, eh? I've thoroughly investigated your background. These guys are all Seventh Energy Level. You definitely can't beat them, so why endure unnecessary physical suffering?"

Chen Gu frowned. The timing is too perfect.

He asked, "You're taking me away? For what?"

The old man chuckled. "Heh heh, to bargain with Aviloya, of course. If she doesn't compensate me, you're the hostage."

"Naturally, if you can cough up six hundred and ninety million Starshields, I'll release you immediately."

Chen Gu remained expressionless. "Give me the account details."

The old man was stunned. "What did you say?"

"The account details!" Chen Gu repeated. "Six hundred and ninety million Starshields. I'll transfer it to you right now."

The old man had weathered countless storms in his life, yet in that instant, he froze.

What does he mean? This isn't six hundred and ninety; it's six hundred and ninety million Starshields! I'm clearly extorting him, so why is he agreeing to pay just like that? If you don't play by the script, I can't use the series of ploys I had prepared!

Chen Gu stared at him with a half-smile. "What's wrong? Don't you want the money anymore?"

The old man sneered inwardly. Trying to call my bluff? I refuse to believe you actually have that much money. Even if you do, would you really just hand it over to me for nothing?

He sent his account details to Chen Gu. Of course, Chen Gu was reluctant to just throw away six hundred and ninety million Starshields. He had the money, but it was all earmarked for purchasing resources for his advancement; it all had crucial uses.
