49: Chapter 49 The Power of Authority! The True Origin of the Iron-Blooded Order!
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu found himself in a dilemma.
If he did not take action against Li Mo, Starry Sky University would likely be destroyed in an instant.
If he did take action against Li Mo, it would mean the destruction of his entire family!
Neither outcome was something he could bear.
Regarding this, Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu could only sigh: "What exactly is The Military doing? Handing an iron blood token to a child! Isn't this just trying to destroy my Starry Sky University?"
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu's secretary spoke from the side: "Deputy Mayor, with your position, are you really afraid of that single iron blood token?"
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu glanced at the naive secretary and then shook his head: "You are still young and do not understand the weight of this iron blood token. In the face of this token, what am I, a Deputy Mayor?"
"You should know Marshal Chen Han, right?"
Upon hearing this, the secretary nodded: "Of course I know him, he is our human hero! Even a child who has just learned to understand things would know him."
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu explained the origin of the iron blood token to him; this iron blood token was actually a system established by Marshal Chen Han.
How arrogant was Marshal Chen Han back then?
He even dared to challenge the Supreme Government!
Overnight, he had almost slaughtered all the upper-class families in the capital and almost caused the Supreme Government of the capital to collapse!
Before Marshal Chen Han, the army of Great Xia was actually suppressed by the political sphere for a time.
But after Marshal Chen Han, everything changed. To prevent the authorities of Great Xia from becoming corrupt again, Marshal Chen Han established the iron blood token.
A person holding the iron blood token could possess almost infinite power.
This caused even the current Supreme Government to be quite wary of this token.
Of course, this token was not issued casually.
In the two hundred years since Marshal Chen Han disappeared, the iron blood token had only appeared a few times.
But every single one of those times had stirred up a storm of blood.
If Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu remembered correctly, the last time this token appeared in the capital was forty years ago.
This also proved that The Military and the government had passed forty years in stability.
Starry Sky University had never been affected by the iron blood token, but each time, it had witnessed the cruelty of the iron blood token.
Upon hearing this, the secretary said: "Deputy Mayor Zhu, are we just going to let Li Mo destroy the entire school? This university is the foundation for you to climb higher in the political world!"
Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu certainly understood the secretary's words. For Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu, Starry Sky University was his greatest political resource; he could not let Li Mo destroy this university due to revenge.
"Go and invite all the senior school leaders over; we will discuss countermeasures!"
"Yes!"
...
Just as Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu was preparing to hold a meeting with all the school leaders, Li Mo had already arrived inside the campus.
Everyone was scared like birds startled by a bow by the hundreds of thugs Li Mo had brought, whether they were teachers or students.
The school corridors, which were usually extremely lively, were now devoid of people.
Although they did not come to find Li Mo, it did not mean that Li Mo would not come to find them.
At this moment, Hall Master Nie Meng cautiously leaned into Li Mo's ear and whispered: "Li Mo, just in case, let me ask one thing: to what extent can we cause trouble?"
Li Mo smiled slightly: "Cause as much trouble as you want, it is best to make the whole school restless, the only bottom line is, do not take any lives!"
Do not think that Li Mo easily beat Zhou Run to death because he wanted to; that was because Zhou Run had spoken rudely first, and it just happened that he ran into Li Mo's line of fire.
In reality, even with the iron blood token in hand, Li Mo could not kill people at will without evidence.
First of all, he was not a person who slaughtered the innocent. Although he loathed Starry Sky University, most of the people here were innocent.
Secondly, he represented the image of The Military. It was fine to be arrogant, but if things went too far, that would be madness.
If Li Mo let these thugs kill indiscriminately, someone behind the scenes would come out to stop him.
In fact, just as Li Mo had expected, he had always been protected by members of the Capital Garrison Regiment from behind.
They watched Li Mo's actions with their own eyes.
A member of the Capital Garrison Regiment said to Commander Xiao: "Commander Xiao, does this guy's style of doing things look like a soldier? Why did he call a bunch of thugs into the university?"
"That's right! Commander, I know Li Mo is on a mission, but Starry Sky University is a century-old school after all. Should we go over and stop Li Mo?"
Regarding everyone's comments, Commander Xiao did not agree.
He had also been observing Li Mo these days and felt that Li Mo was a very interesting person; he was worthy of being favored by the higher-ups.
Commander Xiao said slowly: "Don't be anxious! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! It is precisely because Starry Sky University is a century-old school that few people dare to offend, which is why the higher-ups sent Li Mo!"
"If we don't use strong medicine, how can we find those detestable traitors?"
"Rest assured, if he really acts recklessly, even if the higher-ups misjudged him, I will personally stop him."
At this moment, the hundreds of people Li Mo brought immediately scattered and ran to various classrooms within the school.
The sacred university instantly became a social place hiding dirt and filth, with various insults and curses being heard incessantly.
And at this moment, Li Mo himself had arrived at the class he was in before.
Seeing Li Mo arrive, everyone looked as if they had seen a plague god, breaking out in a cold sweat from fear.
Almost all of them had bullied Li Mo more or less; after all, Li Mo's name as a 'trash' was called out by them.
But in just three months, Li Mo's status had undergone a major transformation.
The former Li Mo could be bullied by anyone, but today's Li Mo was someone even the school leaders did not dare to offend easily.
"This... why is he here again?"
"Zhou Run was beaten to death by him, and the class monitor was beaten into serious injury by him, is that not enough? What does he want to do?"
"Sigh! If I had known, I wouldn't have come to class! It would have been better to hide in the dormitory!"
Everyone in the class was frowning, fearing they would become Li Mo's next target.
However, Li Mo just walked in calmly and then found a seat in the back to sit down.
He used to sit in such a position before, but the difference was the change in status and position.
Li Mo looked at Teacher Cao Yun and said: "Teacher Cao Yun, continue the lecture, what are you afraid of?"
Teacher Cao Yun was terrified and trembling, but he could only force a smile: "Students, today we will continue to explain the methods of a martial artist's qi refining and energy circulation..."
Li Mo sat in the back, but his gaze felt like thorns on their backs, making everyone feel terrified.
Even when senior school leaders sat in on classes before, they hadn't been this afraid!
Fortunately, Li Mo did not seem to intend to do anything excessive today.
A class lasted an hour, but for everyone, it felt like years.
Finally, the bell rang, and just as everyone was about to heave a sigh of relief, Li Mo, who was sitting in the back, spoke up.
His words were like the whispers of a demon from hell, making everyone fall silent with fear.
"The first, second, and third in the first row, the fourth and fifth in the second row, the third and sixth in the third row... Not listening in class, drag them out and beat them heavily."
When Li Mo called out the names, it included almost half of the students in the class.
What Teacher Cao Yun did not expect even more was that Li Mo also called his name.
"Class teacher Teacher Cao Yun, lecture error, failing to set an example despite being a teacher, add fifty heavy blows!"
