Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 8: Covenantor (X)

Lu Xiufan walked into the kitchen and stared at the back of the person who was still busying himself with making his snack. He said "Little Ze, come here"

Shang Ke turned, only to see Lu Xiufan's back as he walked away. He untied his apron and hastened his steps to catch up.

Upon entering the bedroom, Lu Xiufan put the chip that was in his hand onto the table. His eyes darkened as he approached Shang Ke, seemingly trying to suppress his emotions. "Was it Yue Xuan?"

"What?"

"The people who attacked you, was that Yue Xuan's doing?" Lu Xiufan picked up the chip and asked again.

"I don't know." Shang Ke lowered his eyes and shifted his line of sight onto the chip.

"Why didn't you fight back from the start?" Lu Xiufan's voice carried traces of anger. Although the video didn't capture the fighting process, judging from the screams, Shang Ke must've taken care of them.

"They are nobility. It's unwise to attack rashly. Otherwise, I might cause trouble for you, Sir."

Lu Xiufan's breathing paused. He tightened his fist and continued questioning, "Then why did you start fighting afterwards?"

Shang Ke calmly replied, "They broke my communicator and made it impossible for me to pick up your call in time."

Lu Xiufan recalled that a few days ago when he had tried to reach Shang Ke, the call had suddenly ended. So it turns out it was then that Shang Ke was attacked by the gang. If he didn't make the call, Shang Ke would've been.... Thinking about this, Lu Xiufan's expression turned ugly.

In order not to cause any trouble for him, Little Ze didn't bother about the humiliation he suffered at the hands of those people. Later, Shang Ke only started to strike back because he had missed his call. Lu Xiufan began to understand that, in Little Ze's world, he is Little Ze's everything.

He firmly held onto Shang Ke's hand and resolutely said, "Little Ze, you listen to me: in the future, no matter who they are, you must fight back fiercely if they dare to bully you. You shouldn't have any misgivings about that. Even if it is the Queen herself, you don't have to hold back in times of danger.

"Alright," Shang Ke nodded.

Lu Xiufan pulled him into his arms, his mind still replaying the scenes from the video. He had a murderous look in his eyes.

There was some doubt in his heart. Yue Xuan was Yue Ze's younger brother. Even if their relationship wasn't good, Yue Ze had already become a Covenantor and was unable to shake his position as successor. Why was he still being so oppressive? First, he sent Yue Ze to the distribution center, and now he wants to hire people to rape him!? Yue Xuan, malevolent to this extent, really pissed him off!

A few days later, several noteworthy things happened in the city. Some of the children of lower nobility had their scandals exposed one after another—being sexually involved with minors, organizing group gambling, acquiring contraband items and so on... If these sort of things weren't exposed, nobles could still settle it with money. However, since this was done by Luo Xiufan, they could only give up and admit their wrongdoings. They just couldn't understand; why did Lu Xiufan suddenly care about such trivial matters?

Most likely it was only the ones caught up in the matter would know what was really going on. The eight people who assaulted Shang Ke were featured on the entertainment headlines—all of them and not one less.

Naturally, Yue Xuan, as the mastermind behind it all, couldn't escape the consequences. Not only was he forced to drop out of the capital university, he also ended up offending a large number of the nobles in the capital. Perhaps outsiders didn't know the inside story, but the matter spread quickly within the inner circle. Yue Xuan actually dared urge a bunch of ignorant and incompetent, rich brats to provoke Lu Xiufan's man. He was simply not afraid of dying. Nevermind that he just had to bring misfortune for other young nobles as well. They were afraid of this Lord's anger.
