Chapter 278: Hooligan

That morning, when Heath came to the cla.s.sroom, the other students were already in the cla.s.sroom, but there was no sign of Eric.

He asked, “Where’s Eric? Is he still not here?”

The students looked at each other and shook their heads.

“He’s not here.”

“I don’t see him.”

“I’m not sure.”

Ever since he officially started cla.s.ses at Heath’s cla.s.sroom, Eric was basically the first to arrive at the cla.s.sroom every day. Naturally, Heath felt a little strange that there was no sign of him now.

‘Something must have happened.’

Although it was strange, it was still a small matter, so Heath did not take it to heart.

However, he did not expect that something would happen in the afternoon…

In the afternoon, while Heath was meditating in the tower, there was a series of awkward knocks on the door, accompanied by Lily’s anxious shouts.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Teacher Heath, Teacher Heath!”

Heath teleported downstairs and opened the door. Lily and the other children were standing outside the door. They were having a good time with Eric in cla.s.s.

Heath asked, “What happened?”

Lily pulled on Heath’s s.h.i.+rt and said anxiously, “Eric, Eric was beaten. Teacher Heath, can you help him?”

Heath was stunned. “Beaten up?”

“It was the Red Scarves people. It was the Red Scarves people who did it!”

“Eric didn’t want to play with them anymore. They didn’t agree, so he stopped Eric…”

From the children, Heath roughly understood the whole story. It was mainly related to the infamous Red Scarves.

Although Eric didn’t join the Red Scarves, he did hang out with one of the Red Scarves people before this. One of his friends was even part of the Red Scarves.

The Red Scarves people had been trying their best to rope him in.

After a long period of preparation, Eric had been persuaded by the Red Scarves and was ready to join. But at this time, Eric came to Heath’s cla.s.s.

Although the knowledge taught in Heath’s cla.s.s didn’t bring much philosophy to him, the environment he created, living with ordinary children like Lily for a long time… It was still very different from an underground organization like the Red Scarves. Normal people would not think about it.

Eric had been hesitant about the invitation from the Red Scarves. After spending time with ordinary children, he decisively cut himself off from the Red Scarves and rejected the invitation.

In order to win Eric over, the Red Scarves had spent a lot of time before this. Now that he had changed his mind at the last minute, of course they would not let it go. Therefore, they immediately put away their hypocrisy and captured Eric.

“They wanted Eric to steal something, but Eric refused, so they arrested Eric…”

“They are now at the old tavern at the dock…”

The children did not have a sound crisis management plan. When they encountered such a situation, the first thing they thought of was their parents and their teacher. And subconsciously, they felt that in helping Eric, compared to their parents, Heath was a more reliable teacher.

Heath did not disappoint them.

“Lead the way, I’ll go take a look.”

With the children leading the way, the group arrived at the pier. Beside the pier, there was a low and densely built area. The houses looked dilapidated and very old, and the roads were mostly very narrow. It was also covered with dirt.

This was the lower part of Golden Harbor Town, a slum. The people who lived here were mostly prost.i.tutes, thieves, hoodlums, and other people from the lowest cla.s.s of society. It was the most chaotic and dirty area in the entire Golden Harbor Town.

“Teacher, that’s the place. That’s the old tavern! The Red Scarves people are all there.”

“That’s where they caught Eric!”

Heath followed the children to a small alley hidden deep in the street. The alley was dark and narrow, and on both sides of the alley were many small beggars dressed in shabby clothes.

There were many other alleys like this one, and they were all called Beggar’s Alley. Those who lived here were small beggars without parents, homeless, and begging for a living. Most of them were controlled by gangs, the Red Scarves was one of them.

The arrival of Heath and the others quickly attracted the attention of these small beggars. Some of them quickly ran to the end of the alley.

At the end of the alley was a shabby old house. When they got closer, they could vaguely hear a sound coming from inside.

That was a man’s shout, accompanied by the sound of a whip whipping.

“D*mn kid, if you refuse a toast, you’ll be forced to drink a forfeit! You refuse to listen to good advice, and you insist on getting whipped?”

“You ate our food and drank our wine, and now you’re just going to leave? Do you think that’s possible?”

The door of the old house was open, and there were a few little beggars standing at the door, but they did not stop them. Heath led the children into the house easily.

It was a dilapidated old house. There were more than a dozen little beggars gathered in the house.

And here, Heath also saw Eric, who had disappeared. His hands and feet were tied, and he was tied from the beam in the house. His clothes had been removed, and his entire body was covered with bloodstains left by the whips.

A middle-aged man stood in front of Eric, holding a pair of whips in his hands. He was whipping Eric viciously.

The children had never seen such a scene before, and they were all greatly frightened.

“Oh! My G.o.d!”

“Eric!”

Their exclamations quickly attracted the attention of the middle-aged man. He was first stunned, then looked at Heath suspiciously and said, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

The clothes on Heath’s body and the aura on his body did not seem like ordinary people, so he did not dare to offend him easily.

Heath pointed at Eric and went straight to the point. “That’s my student.”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to a realization.

He praised him and pointed his whip at Heath. He said while spitting, “Good, so you’re the one who doesn’t know life from death? You dare to come to Golden Harbor Town and behave atrociously just because you know two lousy words? You even dare to touch my people! I didn’t find you to settle the score, yet you still dare to come to my doorstep?”

Heath said nonchalantly, “Then how do you want to settle the score?”

The middle-aged man who had been fooling around was not polite at all. He cursed angrily, “I’ll count as your mother!”

As he said that, he raised his whip and lashed it directly at Heath.

Seeing that, Heath did not stand on ceremony. He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the middle-aged man’s wrist. The speed of a mortal was basically no different from slow motion in his eyes. The middle-aged man’s wrist was easily grabbed by him.

Grabbing his wrist, he then exerted a little strength into it. Immediately, a ‘ka’ sound was heard, and the middle-aged man’s wrist directly caved in.

“Ah!”

The middle-aged man who was. .h.i.t by this heavy blow screamed in pain. His face instantly turned pale, and his originally arrogant and despotic att.i.tude was completely gone.

Heath then twisted his body and kicked out again, directly sending the middle-aged man flying and smas.h.i.+ng his head heavily into the opposite wall, causing the middle-aged man’s head to bleed.

“Any questions?” he asked.
