Chapter 157: The Centaur Camp Incident
"Smack!"
Sir Friedman slammed the newspaper in his hand on the desk viciously, a layer of blood rising on his pale face, and a deep anger in his voice: "What a rice bucket!
The newspaper that fell on the table was ajar, and part of the page that was exposed happened to have a corner of the picture, showing the skirmish in front of the D&K shop at 97 Walking Street, Arthur Ness slapped the red notice on the door page of the shop, and behaved in a flamboyant and arrogant manner.
Along with this newspaper are two other letters.
One is from Ding Ding Finance and the pest control company, and it is an application for compensation.
The other one came from the Qingqiu Mansion, because Arthur Ness injured the fox of the Qingqiu Mansion when he was doing something, so the Qingqiu Mansion sent a letter to question.
Half of the claim was hidden under the newspaper, and the other half of the content was unusually glaring in the sunlight: "...... His Excellency Arthur Ness interfered with the establishment of a property by a fellow student of a sister university without justifiable reasons, which had a significant impact on the goodwill and operation of D&K. After the unanimous resolution of Dingding Financial and all shareholders of the insecticide company, we hereby apply for compensation, and the relevant compensation is as follows......"
Sir Friedman didn't have good reason to be angry about these two things.
Because of the resources and strength of the Blood Friends Society, it was Sir Friedman's own decision to try to stumble over the small shop on the pedestrian street, especially the stumbling of the Nine Academy.
And the plans have been repeatedly developed by the Jazz Think Tank, so it stands to reason that there should be no surprises.
If this plan comes to fruition, then Friedman, who is competing with Seprano for the title of the next Augustus, will gain momentum because of the loss of the face of the Nine Families. So from start to finish, Jazz has been very aggressive in moving forward with this plan.
But the unexpected happened. The pickets seized Ding Ding Financial and the insecticide company, but in the ensuing search, they did not seize the merchandise of the Fishman tribe on the spot, on the contrary, the Hunter Hunting Team provided sufficient formal invoices and procedures to prove that the store had sold a small number of fishman merchandise with a total amount of no more than one golden bean.
This commodity not only fails to hold the Crime Hunting Team accountable, but proves that the students of Jiuyou Academy are law-abiding. Especially since the location of their store is still so remote, and next to the store is the notorious wandering bar.
To make matters worse, the pickets of Alpha Academy 'trampled' a fox servant of the Qingqiu Mansion in the process of 'law enforcement'. Although Arthur Ness's report to Sir Friedman afterwards repeatedly stressed that he had only scratched the tip of the fox's tail, this did not deny the fact that it had happened.
This, then, gave Sir Friedman enough reason to be angry.
Even if everyone knew that Sir was angry. But as a subordinate, one of the most important roles is not to act as a suitable sandbag and target when the superior is angry?
Of course, Jazz's anger wasn't just about the bad plan that didn't come true, and the reckless behavior of a white-robed man who offended the Qingqiu Mansion - both of which could be resolved with a little gold and a low profile.
Sizz's anger comes more from the noise within the Blood Friends.
The plan he had arranged highlighted his incompetence to some extent and affected his reputation in the Blood Friends, and his opponent, the Lucky Kei's MacKing Seprano, instead of maliciously attacking Friedman's defeat, further called on all members of the Blood Society to rally around Lord Augustus at this critical moment and resist the attack of the Nine Beings Academy's divine will.
This move of retreat made Serprano have a good image in the hearts of all the members of the Blood Friends Association, and even the most critical old man in the club privately praised him for 'understanding the general situation'.
It is no wonder that Sir Friedman's rate of winning Augustus titles has been declining in the private betting games among students these days.
Sir Friedman's mood became more and more irritable at the thought of his declining approval rating in the latest student survey he had just read last night.
"Sima, what do you think about this incident?" asked Sir in a low voice as he turned his gaze to the other wizard sitting at his desk, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Sima Yi stared intently at the crystal ball in front of him, his voice was soft, like a whisper: "There is no doubt that this is an accident, you have failed." Whether it's the Sin Hunters or Seprano, there are smart people behind them......"
"Could it be smarter than you?" said Sir Friedman, who let out a short, shrill laugh. This is very different from his usual image. But at this time, he didn't care about this little detail.
Sima Yi chuckled lightly and did not answer the question directly.
"Remember how you knew about me?" he asked.
Sir Friedman frowned slightly, a little impatient: "Because you did a good job of cleaning up the mess that Arthur Ness's idiot left last time." ”
He was referring to the beginning of the last semester, when Arthur Ness, Zheng Qing and other freshmen clashed in the pedestrian street and were shamefully suppressed in the mud. This incident almost became the laughing stock of the entire school.
And Sima Yi resolved the crisis very well by elevating the identity of the freshmen. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Sir Friedman also quietly released a kappa demon in the academy in an attempt to solve his shame more completely. It's just that the wild demon is not helpful, but the new life is getting better and better.
After hearing Sima Yi's question, Sir Friedman's first reaction was that Sima Yi wanted to vaguely remind him that the two people were grasshoppers tied to a rope, and one was prosperous and the other was lost.
But then Sima Yi's next sentence made him realize that he was thinking a little too much.
"Same as last time, similar problem, same solution. Sima Yi was still staring at the crystal ball in front of him, but his speed of speech accelerated slightly: "You have lost points in this matter, so you should stop the loss in time and find these points from other places to make up for these points." ”
"People's attention is fragmented and constantly changing. It's easy for them to move from one thing to another. As long as you do your next thing well, who will remember your little defeat today?"
Sir Friedman's face improved slightly.
"But," Sir still frowned, "what should we do next?"
Sima Yi's gaze finally moved away from the crystal ball and looked out the window. There was the rolling canopy of the Silent Forest, with the occasional flock of birds leaping on the branches.
He whispered, "I heard that there is a centaur camp outside the castle that has not been very quiet lately. ”
