Seeing Mei's state, Luo Chen immediately understood that the girl had definitely misunderstood something. He tapped her head with his hand, somewhat speechless.

"The Hokushin Ittō-ryū style, shall I teach you?"

Mei was slightly taken aback. After hearing Luo Chen's words, her delicate face turned even redder, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

“I don’t need to pay rent or anything, this is my house anyway. But I still want to exchange something with you, like Kiana…” Luo Chen said, looking at Kiana who was listening to him: “I’ll give her a place to live, and she’ll take care of all the housework, that’s it.”

"That's it, I understand."

Mei looked at Luo Chen, the blush on her face gradually fading.

"I can teach you the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style."

"Okay, it's settled."

Luo Chen clapped his hands, stood up, and said to the two women, "Alright, it's getting late, let's go back to our rooms. Mei, I'll tidy up your room for you now, just a moment."

Lying on the unfamiliar bed, Mei felt a sense of peace. Looking at the photos she had carefully arranged beside her, Mei's gaze softened.

"Thank you, and it's so good to have you."

Chapter 7 I wonder who dares to touch her

The mornings in Changkong City are always full of vitality, with the sun shining brightly high in the sky, indicating that today will be a good day.

It was already 8:30 in the morning, and the streets were already full of office workers and students.

Near Chiyu Academy, students gathered in twos and threes, heading to the school together. However, the people today were slightly different from usual, probably because they were almost all talking about the same thing.

"Hey, have you heard? The president of ME Company, Raiden Ryoma, is actually a fraudster!"

"I heard about that. What if his daughter, Raiden Mei, also..."

"Very likely, after all, she's that conman's daughter. I always felt something was off about her, and now that I've seen her, it's true..."

"Yeah, it's really unsettling to think that someone like that is actually in our school."

Discussions like these were common among almost all the students at Chiba Academy. Most of them came from upper-class families and had some connection to ME Society, and the central figure was the academy's most dazzling Raiden Queen. This gave them the right to belittle Raiden Mei, and they all became arrogant and haughty.

"Look, isn't that the conman's daughter? She's with two other people. And that man... doesn't he look like Luo Chen?"

Upon seeing Luo Chen and his two companions appear at the school gate, everyone immediately spotted Raiden Mei among them and looked at them with suspicion.

"Why do you think Lord Luo is spending time with that guy?"

"I don't know, could it be that guy used his own body..."

"Yes, that must be the case."

Since enrolling more than three months ago, Luo Chen has become the most popular male student in the entire academy thanks to his outstanding appearance and gentle attitude, and has been given the honorary title of "Lord Luo" by those who like him.

Normally, Luo Chen would feel a little smug and smile at others when he heard them talking about him. But now, his face was filled with indifference. Hearing the people around him slandering Mei, Luo Chen was so angry that he wanted to hit them. But when he thought about how Mei would be in trouble if he actually did it, he held back.

Mei listened to the people around her slandering her, feeling dejected. She lowered her head and silently quickened her pace, trying to shake off Luo Chen and Kiana on her own. Then Luo Chen grabbed her collar and pulled her back.

"What are you doing? Do I look like the kind of person who cares about what others say?"

Seeing through Mei's thoughts, Luo Chen looked at her with annoyance: "As for Kiana, she's just a paramecium, she wouldn't care at all."

"That's right! I will never forgive those who slander Mei!"

Kiana looked at the people around her, her anger rising. She said angrily, completely unaware of how Luo Chen addressed her. Then her expression changed, and she grabbed Mei's arm, rubbing against it as she said, "Mei, no matter what others say, I will stand by you."

"Alright, let's go inside. Ignore these idiots."

Seeing the crowd gathering around the three of them, Luo Chen frowned, spoke to the two who were standing close together, and then pushed them into the school gate.

"Finally, you are no longer the Queen of Thunder, Raiden Mei."

Behind the three, Tomoko Kugimiya and her people watched Raiden Mei enter the school gate with a somber gaze. She then glanced at Luo Chen, who was pushing her from behind, her eyes filled with a cold glint, and said in a deep voice, "Luo Chen, I will make you bow your head and beg me. Then, hmph."

As soon as Luo Chen entered the classroom, he felt the whole class looking at him, or more precisely, at Mei beside him. He didn't pay much attention, though; what was there to care about a bunch of guys about to become suicide soldiers? But the instant he entered, he noticed that Mei's desk had been moved to a corner, and it was covered in malicious graffiti.

Looking at her desk, Mei smiled self-deprecatingly. Just as she was about to walk over, Luo Chen grabbed her wrist.

"You're just going to put up with this?"

Luo Chen spoke calmly to Mei, but his face was so dark it seemed to drip water. Looking at Mei, who was pursing her lips and not saying a word, he felt a surge of anger.

He forcibly pulled Mei to his seat, then strode up to the podium, looked at the chaotic classroom and the group of people, including Kunomiya, who were staring at him, and slammed his hand on the podium with a loud bang.

The entire classroom fell silent. Everyone stared at Luo Chen, wondering what he was going to do. Only Jiugong Zhizi felt a chill of fear.

"Who smeared that stuff on Mei's table?"

Luo Chen spoke calmly, but the bulging veins on his right hand showed that he was not calm at all.

"I'll ask again, who [swear word] put Mei's table [swear word] there and smeared those [swear word] words on it?"

Listening to Luo Chen's rambling, someone couldn't take it anymore and stood up to confront him: "I'm telling you, Luo Chen, for the sake of a fraudster's daughter..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a chill run through her body. She realized that Luo Chen's gaze was terrifying, so she quickly shut her mouth, sat up straight, and pretended that nothing had happened.

"Do you need me to ask again? But this time, you should weigh the consequences yourself."

Luo Chen ignored the guy from before and just kept talking to himself, while staring straight at Kugimiya Tomoko, a hint of killing intent flashing in his gray pupils.

Seemingly feeling uneasy under Luo Chen's gaze, Kugimiya Tomoko slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and shouted at Luo Chen, "It's me! So what? Let's see what you can do to me!" Then, looking at Mei sitting in her seat, she said disdainfully, "You bitch, you think you can act tough just because you found a backer..."

Before Kugimiya Tomoko could finish speaking, Luo Chen had already stepped down, walked straight to Kugimiya Tomoko, grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up off the ground, his eyes filled with even more killing intent.

Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?

Looking at Kugimiya Tomoko, who was struggling to breathe from his choking, Luo Chen said, word by word, "Do you want to see what happened to your dogs a few days ago?"

Luo Chen glanced at the whole class out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that everyone was looking at him but no one stood up to stop him, he sneered.

"Your lackeys are still not healed."

Seeing Kugimiya Tomoko staring at him with a flushed face, her hands still trying to pull his hands away, Luo Chen used a little force with his right hand to throw her against the wall. He walked over, looked at Kugimiya Tomoko kneeling against the wall, and unceremoniously stepped on her shoulder with his right foot, coldly staring at her.

"It seems you didn't listen to a single word of what I told them to bring."

Kugimiya Tomoko looked at Luo Chen, her body trembling, and shook her head desperately: "No, no, they didn't tell me anything."

Seeing Luo Chen staring at her without saying a word, Tomoko Kugimiya turned to Raiden Mei sitting in the chair and pleaded, "Raiden Mei, I was wrong, I'm sorry, please help me."

Seeing Tomoko Kugimiya's expression, Mei frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said to Luo Chen, "Luo Chen, why don't we just let her go..."

"Since Mei has spoken up, we'll let you off the hook for now."

As Luo Chen spoke, emphasizing the word "temporarily," he lifted his right foot and stared at her: "Three minutes to clean Mei's table, or else..."

"well……"

Seeing that Luo Chen was willing to let her go, Kugimiya Tomoko felt like she had been granted a pardon and quickly stood up to clean Raiden Mei's table.

"What are you looking at? It's quite a commotion!"

Seeing that the whole class was focused on this place, Luo Chen called out. The next second, everyone's attention shifted instantly, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that everything had settled down, Luo Chen was about to return to his seat when he saw Yuna sitting alone with her head down, not saying a word. He walked over suspiciously.

"Yuno, what's wrong? Why didn't you say hello to me?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Hearing Yuno's somewhat ambiguous tone, Luo Chen's doubts deepened. He reached out to pull Yuno's face up, but her sudden movement of pulling her face back made Luo Chen's heart sink once again.

"Don't move, let me see."

Luo Chen said in a forceful tone, holding Yuno's face with his right hand and forcing her to look at him.

"Who did it?"

Seeing the bruises all over Yuno's face, Luo Chen's anger was reignited. Seeing Yuno about to cry, he tried his best to maintain a gentle tone.

Yuna remained silent, simply watching Luo Chen quietly.

Seeing that Yuna refused to speak, Luo Chen's anger intensified. He suppressed his rage and asked again in a deep voice, "Who did this? Tell me. Don't worry, no one can bully my friend."

Yuno remained silent, but glanced subtly at Tomoko Kunomiya's table.

Seeing Yuno's subtle movements, Luo Chen understood. He gently stroked Yuno's face and said in a gentle tone, "Wait a moment, I'll take you to the hospital later."

After saying that, Luo Chen withdrew his hand, looked at Kugimiya Tomoko who was wiping the table, and slowly walked over.

Seeing Luo Chen approaching, Kugimiya Tomoko couldn't help but regret her decision yesterday to have Sato Yuno cornered in the alley. But it was too late to turn back. So, taking advantage of Luo Chen's walk, Kugimiya Tomoko suddenly turned around and pounced on him.

Seeing Kugimiya Tomoko's aggressive and reckless behavior, Luo Chen remained silent, then kicked her squarely in the stomach, sending her flying. The force of the kick caused Kugimiya Tomoko to writhe in pain on the floor, clutching her stomach.

“I originally intended to let you go, but your actions are undoubtedly digging your own grave.”

Looking down at Jiugong Zhizi lying on the ground, Luo Chen sentenced her to death.

"You should never appear in front of me again; you're an eyesore."

As he spoke, Luo Chen kicked again, stomping heavily on Jiugong Zhizi's stomach. The huge impact caused her to faint instantly.

Seeing the unconscious guy lying on the ground, Luo Chen turned around, walked to Yuno's side, grabbed her hand and walked out, saying as he went, "Class monitor, please ask for leave for us."

He glanced at Mei following behind and continued, "And Mei too."

Without waiting for permission, he walked straight out of the classroom.

"Luo Chen, what have you done?!"

Walking down the street, Yuno looked at Luo Chen and cried, "You don't need to provoke Kunomiya-kun for my sake."
