198: Chapter 198 Security Guard: You Three Need to Prove You're Not Gangsters

Nanyuan Province, Department of Education.

The Three Heavenly Kings, who had rushed aggressively to Nanyuan City, straightened their clothes and put on sunglasses they had scrounged up from a roadside stall, trying their best to look like they were there on official business rather than just making trouble.

They marched with an arrogant, swaggering gait, approaching the towering Department of Education office building with a surging Aura.

The security guard at the entrance saw their sunglasses-and-suit getup and thought to himself that things looked bad, but he steeled himself and went out to meet them.

"Which Gang are you guys from?

Today is the day the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination results are released. There are Elite Beast Tamers inside. Are you looking for death by coming here to cause trouble?"

As expected, the Three Heavenly Kings stopped in their tracks. Before the guard could even feel relieved, he saw one of them step forward to negotiate.

Mo Yu jerked his head, sending his sunglasses flying, and glared up at the guard with a sideways glance. "Hey, hey, hey, Uncle, have you ever seen a Gang as handsome and dashing as us?"

The guard couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

He couldn't help but complain inwardly that with their outfits and that inimitable temperament, calling them Gang members was a compliment—they were clearly a criminal syndicate!

Especially Mo Yu's movements and expression; the guard estimated he probably had a significant number of warrants out for him, starting at a serial case at the very least.

Seeing that the Three Heavenly Kings had no intention of making a move, the guard finally steadied his nerves and took a closer look.

Huh, these three guys were indeed exceptionally young. The two behind him were dignified and truly didn't look like Gang members.

But the one speaking was truly something else.

He exuded a thuggish air from head to toe, looking like a capable veteran who had fought his way up through the Gangs, someone who felt like he was about to become a boss.

The guard secretly stayed on guard against Mo Yu while asking with a very sincere look, "Did you coerce them?"

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense!" Mo Yu immediately bristled. "Don't think just because we're strangers I won't sue you for slander!"

Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun hurriedly stepped forward, pulling Mo Yu back before things escalated, and explained their purpose to the guard.

"Uncle, we are candidates from this year's college entrance exam. We came here because there was an issue with our results. We need to go inside to find a Review Officer to re-verify our scores. Please bear with us!"

The guard immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, so you're candidates with score issues. I thought a Gang's core members had actually come to attack."

After all, he was just an ordinary person guarding the door. If he really ran into Gang enforcers looking for trouble, he'd likely be in for a bad time.

The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his attitude did a 180-degree turn. "Students, show me your student IDs. Once verified, just register and you can go in."

The guard wasn't worried at all about the safety inside the office building.

As he said, the building was full of Elite Beast Tamers; three graduating candidates couldn't cause any trouble.

The Three Heavenly Kings all breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't expected entering the Department of Education to be so simple.

"That's no problem. Since the gatehouse has requirements, I'll just show my student ID and be done with it!"

The guard showed a gratified smile and a hint of surprise.

"You really have student IDs? A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. So you're the flowers of the Alliance!"

"Isn't that the truth? Of course we have student IDs. They're still warm from just finishing the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination!" Mo Yu laughed.

Since even the most improper Mo Yu said so, the guard completely let down his guard and laughed heartily.

"Isn't that the truth? What else can I say? I'll just let you three through and be done with it."

"Aww! You're so spirited, Uncle!" Mo Yu reached out and shook the guard's hand firmly.

This Freljordian-style exchange left Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun stunned. If Mo Yu hadn't signaled them, they would have forgotten the purpose of this trip.

Just as the Three Heavenly Kings were about to pass the gatehouse, the guard reached out to stop them again. "Don't just talk. Where are the student IDs?"

"Don't have them!"

Mo Yu spread his hands with a sheepish grin.

The guard was so angry he almost spat fire. He looked at the Three Heavenly Kings with a dark face, suspicion resurfacing in his eyes.

He had to consider if this was an advance party sent by a Gang, or a suicide squad launched by a Gang.

"Ahem!" Xu Qingfang stepped forward. "I have photos of our student IDs. That should prove our identities, right?"

Yue Yun and Mo Yu both looked at Xu Qingfang in unison.

Feeling the undisguised surprise in their eyes, it was Xu Qingfang's turn for his forehead to be covered in dark lines.

"Did you guys forget? I'm the class monitor of Class 1!"

In the two weeks following the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, the busiest person in Jianghai Second Middle School's Beast Taming Class 1 was undoubtedly the class teacher, Pan Xuan.

The second busiest was this guy, Xu Qingfang.

"I thought you'd already been removed from office..." Mo Yu said, feeling a bit guilty. "Uncle, can you let us in now?"

After the guard looked at the proof Xu Qingfang provided, although he was still very suspicious of the three guys in front of him, he finally chose to let them through.

Anyway, the office building was full of Elite Beast Tamers. Even if they really were people sent by a Gang, they couldn't stir up much trouble.

Inside the Department of Education office building.

Chen Tianrui, who had just finished a funeral, hadn't rested for long before rushing non-stop to Nanyuan Province to review the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination results. His face was dark as a pot bottom throughout, exuding a low-pressure Aura that warned people not to approach.

Don't misunderstand; this wasn't the Dynasty's retaliation.

Coming to Nanyuan Province to review the college entrance exam results was something Chen Tianrui had volunteered for.

Back when Chen Hu came to Nanyuan Province to snatch a quota, Chen Tianrui had already decided to serve as the Review Officer for this year's exam.

He had originally wanted to witness his youngest son's rise, but who would have thought Chen Hu would meet an early end in this Nanyuan Province.

Standing in the empty smoking area, Chen Tianrui exhaled a heavy cloud of smoke as if trying to breathe out all his stress.

Having lost his beloved son, he could have applied for a replacement, but the undercurrents stirred up by those transfer students returning to the Imperial Capital were also significant. It was better to take the opportunity to come out and avoid the spotlight.

Standing in this land of sorrow, Chen Tianrui seemed to see Chen Hu's face and voice again, his eyes filled with pain.

Clack, clack, clack!

Steady but urgent footsteps came from behind, and an unfamiliar, clear male voice suddenly rang out: "Teacher, may I ask where the Review Officer in charge of the exam results, Teacher Chen, is?"

Chen Tianrui crushed his cigarette butt with some impatience and turned to look at the young man who had asked, only to freeze in place.

He naturally hadn't seen Mo Yu before, but finding the files for Yue Yun's candidate team was simply too easy.

After he looked up and saw Yue Yun's good brother, Mo Yu, the impatience and loathing in his eyes were undisguised.

At this moment, the Three Heavenly Kings also saw his face clearly.

If Chen Hu didn't control his eating and drinking and indulged in cigarettes and alcohol in private, he would probably look like this in middle age.

It wasn't hard to guess—he was indeed Chen Tianrui!

The Three Heavenly Kings' expressions turned grim. Their feigned politeness was completely shredded, and they watched his every move with fierce eyes.

Chen Tianrui also noticed that behind Mo Yu, the inseparable Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun were following.

When he saw Yue Yun, the expression on his face changed again.

The previous impatience vanished, replaced by a surge of killing intent that he tried to hide but couldn't.

The younger brother of Yue Shu, who had crushed Chen Long's confidence, and the culprit who had crushed Chen Hu's confidence and then killed him—

Yue Yun!

Chen Tianrui secretly gritted his teeth.

Even though he wished he could cut Yue Yun into a thousand pieces, his years of experience kept him from making any move. Instead, he turned his attention to Mo Yu, who had come before him.

"Student, what are you doing here with me?" Chen Tianrui asked with a cold face.

The Three Heavenly Kings had long intended to drop the act. They didn't use the polite tone from before at all, showing their sharp edges right away.

"Naturally, to seek justice for our results!"

Yue Yun flashed forward to stand in front of Chen Tianrui: "There's a problem with our college entrance exam results. We demand a re-audit!"

Chen Tianrui was stunned upon hearing this.

The Beast Taming College Entrance Examination results had just been audited. As the Review Officer, how could he not know if there was a problem?

Or was it that Yue Yun felt he couldn't serve as Nanyuan Province's top scorer?

Chen Tianrui naturally didn't think the Three Heavenly Kings were just looking for trouble. He could only guess that the academic circle was unwilling to accept Yue Yun and had moved to block his exam results.

If he remembered correctly, Professor Qi Yao and his apprentice had visited Yue Yun a while ago, only to be sent to the Administration Bureau.

It was possible that Yue Yun was arrogant and had refused the academic circle's recruitment, which led them to target him!

Thinking of this, Chen Tianrui snorted and ignored them. "A re-audit is fine. Go back and wait for notification.

When I have time, I will naturally audit it."

"We're not going back!" Yue Yun knew Chen Tianrui was using stalling tactics. "Today, right now!"

Mo Yu also spoke up eerily, "The college entrance exam is over, and the scores have been posted. What could be more important for your Department of Education than re-auditing a student's results?"

"Once the re-audit is done, we'll leave!" Xu Qingfang's eyes narrowed as he spoke up toughly, no longer having any reservations.

"Suit yourselves," Chen Tianrui responded coldly.

He had been deeply entrenched in the education department for many years and was far harder to deal than they imagined. Facing the Three Heavenly Kings' tantrum-like words, he even felt a bit of pleasant mockery.

"In a moment, I'll have my secretary bring you some blankets."

Mo Yu hissed, drawing in a cold breath. He hadn't expected this Ministry of Education backbone, Chen Tianrui, to completely disregard his image.

Xu Qingfang also clenched his fists, but he had no way to deal with this person whose status, position, and strength were all greater than his own.

Yue Yun simply stopped pretending to be ignorant.

He leaned in close to Chen Tianrui, a fierce light flashing deep in his eyes. "Chen Tianrui, let's not beat around the bush!

We both know in our hearts why you're blocking our scores. But aren't you afraid of karma for abusing your power for a personal vendetta?"

"Karma?" Chen Tianrui suddenly sneered.

In the next second, the back of his hand suddenly tensed, and with a palm strike through the air, he slammed it heavily against Yue Yun's chest.
