Young Master in Flower City

"Who the hell did this? Stand up, I swear I won't beat you to a pulp!"

Mo Cang's voice resonated through the grand hall, making eardrums ache. Seriously, someone dared to put the leader of the Emperor Star Academy in shackles? Are they not courting death?

This is like angering the wrong deity, utterly reckless.

Dammit, if you want to die, go ahead, but why drag me into this? I still want to live a few more years, Mo Cang internally raged.

Clang~

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhengyun almost felt his head spin and nearly sat down in shock. What is going on? Why is the headmaster so furious? What did I do to deserve this? I was just following procedure, rightfully putting them in shackles.

Besides, wasn't it you, Headmaster, who instructed me to capture him and bring him to Emperor Star Academy to plead guilty? How can you blame me for that?

Thus, Zhan Zhengyun stepped forward, unwilling to yield, "Headmaster, it was me who put on the shackles, but it was for safety's sake!"

"It was you?"

"Yes!" Zhan Qingyun replied, nodding earnestly.

"Zhan Zhengyun, oh Zhan Zhengyun, you're something else. Why capture him, of all people? Haven't you seen the mural in the Holy Hall? Now I realize, you're better than me. Do you want my position as headmaster?"

Mo Cang almost added, are you blind? You couldn't even recognize the Executive Chairman. Are you begging for a beating?

What did I do wrong? No, this guy is clearly the president of Tianyu International, not the person in the mural, just looks a bit similar. Headmaster, it seems you are the one who is blind.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhengyun responded seriously, "Headmaster, you..."

"Me what? Hurry and release the Executive Chairman from the shackles!" Mo Cang shouted.

Executive Chairman?

The statement left all the Punishment Elders in the hall dumbfounded. What, he is the Executive Chairman? Are you sure there's no mistake?

Headmaster, are you fooling us? Our hearts can't take this kind of shock.

My goodness, we just had an encounter with the Executive Chairman. We've really got a story to tell.

Wait a minute, we just offended the Executive Chairman, are you sure he won't have us all executed?

Thud~

Thud~

Realizing this, all the Punishment Elders in the grand hall fell to their knees.

"I understand why the Headmaster went weak in the knees when he saw him!" one Punishment Elder said, trembling.

"Pssh, at this point, who doesn't know!"

"You really think we're idiots!"

"..."

Many elders glared disdainfully at the speaking elder. Damn it, at this point even a fool can see it. Now we can only hope the Executive Chairman is lenient with us.

What is happening, why is everyone kneeling?

In that moment, Elder Xing was utterly shocked. He...he is the Executive Chairman, how can this be, wasn't he the offender against Tianyu International?

"Wasn't the first to want to kill me the Headmaster?" At that moment, Elder Xing recalled Xiao Tianyu's words to him earlier. He didn't believe it at first, but now?

Xiao Tianyu destroyed the Punishment Staff, crippled his cultivation, is he to be executed on the spot? Does he or the Headmaster have the capability? The entire Ancient Martial Realm's Emperor Star Academies are under his control, who dares to execute him on the spot?

Now the first words swirling in Elder Xing's mind were, it's over, it's over, this time it's definitely over, and he collapsed completely to the ground.

As for Xiao Tianyu, his gaze was exceptionally calm. Wearing ankle cuffs and handcuffs, he walked towards the Hall Master's Seat of the Punishment Hall, the sound of the chains dragging echoing in the grand hall. Each clang tightened Mo Cang's heart.

Seriously, who else under the heavens would dare to shackle the Executive Chairman, isn't that courting death?

Quickly, under everyone's gaze, Xiao Tianyu sat on the Seat of the Punishment Hall Master, imposing and majestic.

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu's aura underwent a dramatic transformation, becoming indifferent, chilling, and unreachable, as if sitting under the plaque of the Punishment Hall, destined to overlook the Nine Provinces. His authority was undeniable.

His gaze, wherever it landed, made people's hearts tremble.

Even if Zhan Zhengyun was a fool, he could now see everything, as the innate aura of superiority exuded by Xiao Tianyu was inimitable.

My God, did I really shackle the Executive Chairman? Is the sky about to fall?

Executive Chairman, please, you are of high status, forgive my ignorance. I didn't know you were the Executive Chairman. How about I take the shackles off your hands and put them on myself?

"The Punishment Hall of Emperor Star Academy, wielding the ultimate authority of punishment, awe-inspiring!" At this moment, Xiao Tianyu spoke coldly: "Does wielding the ultimate authority of punishment allow one to overlook everything and accept bribes from others?"

The words shocked everyone present.

And Xiao Tianyu continued, "Mo Cang, tell me, holding the Punishment Staff, wielding the ultimate punishment, yet knowing the law and breaking it, how should Emperor Star Academy deal with this?"

"Kill!" Mo Cang replied coldly, his voice filled with boundless killing intent, causing the Punishment Elders present to tremble, cold sweat pouring, especially on Elder Xing's face, which was filled with despair.

"Executive Chairman, it was Elder Xing alone who accepted bribes from the Tuoba Family, it has nothing to do with us, we were just following the law, Elder Xing is the culprit!" an elder spoke up.

"I did not, I have served as an enforcer in the Punishment Hall for over thirty years, never once accepting bribes. Please, Executive Chairman, see the truth!" Elder Xing continued to argue, unwilling to die.

"Really?" Xiao Tianyu said coldly.

"Absolutely not!"

"Good!"

With that, Xiao Tianyu took out a phone and opened a file, which listed all the bribes Elder Xing had received over the years, totaling three billion, provided just now by Tianyu International.

Pop~

Then, Xiao Tianyu tossed the phone in front of Elder Xing, who collapsed entirely upon seeing it.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "Now, what else do you have to say?"

If Xiao Tianyu set his mind to investigate someone's background, it would only take minutes. Can all that Elder Xing did over the years be hidden from Xiao Tianyu's eyes?

"Executive Chairman, I..."

"Mo Cang, handle this matter yourself!" Xiao Tianyu interrupted.

Boom~

The next second, Mo Cang struck Elder Xing's head with a palm, instantly causing blood to pour and Elder Xing to die a gruesome death, making everyone's heart tremble.

Elder Xing was executed just like that?

This...

Elder Xing probably never dreamed he would meet such an end, would he?

Xiao Tianyu's punishment, he deserves it?
