"Young man, I really can't help you with this. You should ask someone else. I'm willing but unable to do anything about it."

At this critical juncture, if she still can't see through this, then she's wasted most of her life.

Who knew that the young man would not give up and would bypass the crowd to rush over and snatch the ticket from the old lady's hand.

"You're so old, why are you still competing with us young people for tickets? You should go home and enjoy your retirement, instead of causing trouble here."

But before his hand could even touch the old lady's ticket, another hand suddenly grabbed his hand and flung him away.

"You're a strong young man, how dare you bully an old man? Have you no shame?"

The speaker was none other than Hunter, who was preparing to go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to receive his fiefdom.

Actually, he had noticed the situation a few minutes earlier, but he didn't expect this young man to be so shameless, taking advantage of his strength to snatch a ticket from an old man.

This behavior is utterly despicable.

The young man was forcefully thrown aside by Hunter and fell to the ground in a sorry state. No one around him helped him up; they all felt that he had embarrassed the young man.

"Don't even mention that you can't get a ticket for this old lady. Even if you did, it wouldn't matter. These tickets are all registered under real names. Even if you have these tickets, you still can't board the ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Hunter spoke eloquently and didn't want to get entangled with such a petty person any longer, especially since he had brought his family with him.

But who knew that the young man had no intention of letting him off the hook? After being beaten, instead of reflecting on his actions, he jumped out like a mad dog and kept yelling at him.

"Why do you hit me?"

The young man touched his arm; a patch of skin was scraped open, exposing bright red flesh, and it hurt terribly even to the slightest touch.

"You injured me, you have to pay me compensation."

The young man had made up his mind that even if he couldn't get the ticket from the old woman, he would still extort a lot of money from her. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss to embarrass himself in front of so many people.

At least if he extorts some money, he can live a good life for a while.

"How can someone be so shameless? Do you even know who you are on?"

Hunter could hardly believe his ears after hearing what he said.

There are such shameless people in this world who can do something wrong and then brazenly shift the blame to others.

"If you hadn't threatened this old lady first and acted so arrogantly, why would I have laid a hand on you?"

Hunter rationally analyzed right and wrong: "Besides, I only pushed you, I didn't hit you, why should I pay your medical expenses?"

For someone like him, not throwing him in jail is already considered merciful.

And you still dare to bark like a mad dog here!

The young man was a complete scoundrel. He spread his arms wide and shouted arrogantly, "I don't care what your reasons are, you just can't lay a hand on me. Besides, all I want is to buy a ticket to the Great Zhou Dynasty, what's wrong with that?"

He thought to himself that he just wanted to go and take a look, and he hadn't committed any unforgivable crime, so why should he be pointed at and talked about by these people?

Hunter was amused by his words; he had never seen such a shameless person.

"Whether you really want to buy tickets or are just trying to scramble for them, you know perfectly well in your heart. Everyone can see right through your little schemes, so stop pretending to be a gentleman. I can see right through you."

How good can a person's character be if they only bully the elderly?

The conflict escalated, attracting the attention of nearby reporters. One reporter shoved a microphone right in front of them.

"I'm reporter Xiao Wu. I just saw a heated argument going on here. Is it because of the ticket scramble that things escalated like this?"

The reporter held the microphone very close, and the questions were quite pointed.

Hunter was no longer as unrestrained as before when facing the camera, and began to carefully consider his words.

It wasn't that he was afraid, nor that he felt he was in the wrong, but rather that his current status concerned the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he absolutely could not give others any ammunition to criticize him.

He explained, word by word, "It was this guy who couldn't buy a ticket himself, so he tried to steal a ticket from an old lady. I couldn't stand it, so I stepped in to stop his absurd behavior."

The reporter listened patiently and, after understanding the situation, led the applause.

"You're such a kind-hearted person. Could you take off your sunglasses and let everyone see what you look like? After all, good deeds deserve to be publicized."

The reporter was very curious about what kind of face was hidden under the sunglasses and hat.

Hunter was unwilling to take off his sunglasses and hat, and he didn't want to cause any trouble here.

After all, he still had to go and receive his fiefdom.

At this moment, the young man came over, showing his injured arm, and accused the people around him: "Look, this is the injury he caused me. This is irrefutable evidence. Whether you admit it or not, it really happened."

Why is it that when he was injured, the person who hit him could easily escape punishment and let the matter pass by so easily?

He won't allow it!
The photographer also moved his lens closer and finally managed to capture the injury he mentioned.

It's just a minor scrape, nothing serious at all.

The photographer couldn't help but complain in his mind.

It was just a small scratch, but they made it look like they'd lost their head. If their equipment hadn't had such high resolution, they might not have been able to get a clear picture of the wound.

What a pretentious man! Aren't you ashamed to admit it? And you still have the nerve to argue with people here.

Everyone knows right from wrong, and that's what Hunter was thinking.

Thinking about the unpleasant things that happened today, and looking at the lively crowd around me, all of them were discussing the tickets.

He had no choice but to stand in the most conspicuous position to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone, could you please let me say a few words first?"

All eyes were on him, and everyone stopped talking at that moment.

"I know some of you are disappointed and upset because you didn't get tickets, but you must believe that the Great Zhou Dynasty welcomes you anytime. It's just that you didn't get the chance this time. Don't be discouraged."

The main problem is that there are too many people, making it impossible to take care of everyone.

With a limited number of tickets, only a portion of the people can go today.

Those who hadn't gotten tickets were initially quite disappointed, but after hearing Hunter's words, they didn't seem so bad anymore. One of the well-dressed men stepped forward and said excitedly, "That's right! Even if we didn't get tickets this time, it doesn't mean we won't get them next time. Don't be discouraged, everyone. As long as we're willing to wait, we'll definitely have a chance to go."

Hunter was glad they could see things clearly and didn't get stuck on the details; that was already a very good thing.

"Don't get off topic. What we need to discuss now is, why did you hit me and hurt my arm like this? If I can't work anymore, are you going to support me?"

He absolutely had to extort a hefty sum from that kid.

"I think you've gotten addicted to acting. Everyone saw it. If you hadn't tried to snatch the old lady's ticket first, would I have stopped you?"

One should have a conscience. Even if it wasn't intentional, he brought it on himself.

Taking advantage of their youth to bully the elderly, they don't realize that everyone gets old eventually.

If a young person did that to him, I wonder if he would still be able to laugh.

As Hunter was arguing with the young man, his family members stepped forward, trying to persuade both Hunter and the scoundrel.

"Everyone knows right from wrong, so why deceive yourself? You were the one who made the mistake. Even if this matter gets blown up, you are the only one who should apologize."

"That's right, everyone knows perfectly well what's going on. You're bullying the weak and an old person like this. Haven't you ever thought that you'll get old one day too? What will you do when you can't move anymore and others bully you like this?"

People need to learn to put themselves in others' shoes and not always be so selfish.

Hunter agreed with his family's statement; the reason he stood up for them was because he didn't want this bad trend to corrupt the social atmosphere.

We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch; that would be too unfair to everyone.

"Young man, I advise you to apologize to this lady right away and leave. You're not welcome here."

“Someone like you who only bullies the weak doesn’t deserve to stay here. If you’re so capable, come and fight me one-on-one, don’t go around bullying this old man.”

"Look at his cowardly appearance, he probably doesn't even have enough flesh on him to fight."

The people around him were all talking at once, discussing it heatedly. Amidst everyone's condemnation, the once arrogant and domineering young man was now rendered speechless.

Because everyone is right, he's just being unreasonable.

His goal was simple: to make more money off these people so he could live a carefree life.

But given the current situation, not only will I not be able to make more money, but I might also lose my own life. This deal is simply not worth it.

Thinking this, he was already having second thoughts and didn't want to get entangled with these people anymore: "You guys are ruthless. So many of you bullying me, I really look down on you. Don't let me catch you off guard, or I'll make sure you regret it."

As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. Besides, this person doesn't look like someone to be trifled with; if we confront him head-on, we'll definitely suffer the consequences.

It's better to bear with it for now; maybe you'll have a chance to get revenge later.

After saying that, the young man walked away without looking back. Clearly, he knew he was in the wrong and couldn't win an argument with these people.

After he left, the old woman walked over to Hunter, her eyes filled with gratitude, and said, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

She's all alone here; if that young man really tries to take her ticket, she might not be able to win.

"It's all I should do, you don't need to thank me. Just keep your ticket safe, and when the ship comes to pick us up, we'll be able to leave here."

The older woman asked in surprise, "Are you also going to the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Seeing her honest and simple appearance, Hunter didn't intend to hide anything from her: "Yes, I took my family to receive my fiefdom, and we just happened to be on the same ship as you."

The woman immediately realized that the person in front of her was no ordinary person.

Those who could receive fiefdoms were generally people with titles.

Hunter noticed her nervousness and quickly said, "Auntie, don't be shy. These are things we should do. Just treat me like an ordinary person."

He didn't want to put pressure on the other person because of his status.

The woman nodded and gave a kind smile: "I know, but thank you anyway."

As the two were talking, the reporter understood the gist of the matter and decided to make it a feature article and submit it to the editor-in-chief.

The matter was about to end, but people kept pouring in, making the place extremely crowded.

Even with someone clearing the way, they still couldn't move an inch.

Hunter was squeezed to the very front; if he hadn't secured a good spot beforehand, he would probably be pushed to the very back by now.

Among this crowded group were Tong Fang and Su Liang.

They came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to become apprentices under the guidance of medical professor Wu Bogang, hoping to learn some real skills so that their lives would not be in vain.

The roads were extremely congested, with many elderly people squeezed into the middle. If it weren't for people maintaining order, a stampede could easily have occurred.

Just then, someone fainted in the crowd because they couldn't breathe properly due to the crowd.

"Something's wrong! Someone has fainted here! Does anyone know medicine? Please come and save him!"

Someone shouted, and the previously crowded people instantly fell silent. Everyone scattered and fled, afraid that they would be implicated in the incident.

Upon hearing the direction of the incident, Tong Fang not only didn't run, but rushed over as quickly as possible, hoping to save the person as soon as possible, since saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.

Tong Fang squeezed to the front and immediately spotted the old man lying on the ground; he was an elderly gentleman.

The old man was in critical condition; his eyes were closed, and his body was unresponsive, as if he had lost all vitality.

The people around him quickly moved aside, standing to the side, not daring to approach. At that moment, a girl in a white dress, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cute ponytail, knelt down beside the old man.

The girl cried uncontrollably, her voice hoarse with grief, "Please, someone save my grandfather! Please, please save him..."

She cried her heart out. Her grandfather was her only relative in the world, and she didn't know what she would do if anything happened to him.

However, no one around was willing to lend a helping hand; most people were just watching the spectacle, and some even openly discussed the old man's condition.

It was as if the person lying on the ground was not a living being, but an insignificant object. Human hearts had grown so cold; the light of hope in the girl's eyes gradually dimmed.

At that moment, she finally understood that no one was willing to help them, simply because they looked weak and helpless.

Just when she was filled with despair, a pure white figure appeared before her. (End of Chapter)
