Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

"You still want to raze my Donghan Academy to the ground?"

"How is your principal, Zhang Jiao, doing?"

Lin Yu responded calmly to Zhang Bao.

"Who do you think you are? Why would Wang Yun, the principal of Donghan Academy, send someone as insignificant as you? Are you afraid of dying?!"

Zhang Bao sneered, launching a counterattack against the unknown Lin Yu.

"You mere rabble, you think you can get our principal to come in person? Dong Han Academy is full of talented people, and we can't be like you, accepting just anyone. In the end, you'll be beaten to a pulp."

"Enough with the nonsense. Are you going to get lost, or should we help you?" Lin Yu said impatiently.

Zhang Bao's face was grim. His original plan was to ambush the Five Tiger Generals during the competition to weaken the strength of Dong Han Academy, but now he himself had suffered heavy losses. A direct confrontation would only benefit others, and Huang Jin High School was now in a difficult situation.

"Report! Chief! The southern army has been driven back by Zhao Yun!"

"Report! Chief! The northern flank has been breached by Ma Chao!"

"Report! Chief! The eastern flank has been breached by Huang Zhong!"

The news came from three directions almost simultaneously, and Zhang Bao's expression grew increasingly grim. He kept a close eye on Lin Yu and gave the order to retreat.

"go!"

When the bugle call to retreat sounded, the Yellow Turban army reluctantly withdrew.

Witnessing the Yellow Turban Academy's retreat, everyone at the Eastern Han Academy breathed a sigh of relief. If a real fight had broken out, no one would have benefited, and the academy's situation would have been precarious.

"Woo!!!"

Another bugle call sounded, and the flags of Hedong High School drew near, with Li Ru, Meiniang, and Lü Bu leading the way.

"Aren't you guys risking your lives to come here?" Lin Yu questioned.

Li Ru and Meiniang spoke with some fear.

"We...we only sent troops on the orders of Principal Dong Zhuo."

"When Principal Dong learned of the Yellow Turban High School's intentions, he immediately dispatched the Hedong High School as reinforcements. Don't you... know what that means?"

"Oh? I wonder where Principal Dong is? I really want to thank him for his help in person," Lin Yu asked back.

"The principal is busy and won't be able to come over, but you'll see him soon," Li Ru replied.

"Oh no! The principal has fainted!" Xiao Qiao ran over from the academy and said anxiously to Lin Yu.

"What! The principal has fainted?" Guan Yu asked anxiously.

"I don't know. When the chairman and the principal were discussing how to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in the office, the principal suddenly lost consciousness, and the chairman quickly took the principal to the infirmary," Xiao Qiao replied.

"It's unbelievable that this kind-hearted guy would do this; it seems the events at Yellow Turban High School have become too much for him!"

A man dressed in black armor, with four badges hanging on his chest and two horns on his forehead, slowly walked over. This man was none other than Dong Zhuo, whom Lin Yu had just asked about.

"headmaster!"

"Father!"

Li Ru, Mei Niang, and Lü Bu bowed in greeting.

Dong Zhuo waved and walked towards Lin Yu.

I have orders from the Alliance Leader, the Young Emperor, stating that the Yellow Turban Academy is about to launch a major attack on the Eastern Han Academy, and my Hedong Academy will not stand idly by.

In the unlikely event that something were to happen to Principal Wang Yun of the Eastern Han Academy, I, Dong Zhuo, the principal of the Hedong Academy, would temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Eastern Han Academy.

Dong Zhuo handed the order to Lin Yu so he could see it for himself, and then led the group from Hedong High School toward the principal's office.

Li Ru and Meiniang followed closely behind, entering the Dong Han Academy with smug expressions. Lin Yu watched their retreating figures, chuckled softly, and led the Five Tiger Generals back to the school.

Upon arriving at the principal's office, Dong Zhuo shouted at Cao Cao:

"President Cao, please inform all cadres to go to the conference room!"

Cao Cao looked at Dong Zhuo, who was shouting loudly, with suspicion. Lin Yu handed him the young emperor's warrant. Cao Cao quickly glanced at it, his brows furrowing.

The meeting room (Zhao's Zhao) was bustling with noise. Dong Zhuo stood on the high platform, below whom sat the Five Tiger Generals, student council members, disciplinary team members, teachers, and class monitors.

Dong Zhuo gently patted the microphone and began to speak.

"Listen up, everyone. I am Dong Zhuo from Hedong Academy. As per the young emperor's wishes, I will temporarily take charge of Dong Han Academy until Principal Wang Yun recovers."

"I'm a straightforward person, and I hate those who try to take over other schools by force, and those who try to steal the school's imperial seal."

I heard the Yellow Turban Academy was going to use underhanded tactics against you, so I brought my brothers to support you. That's why the young emperor gave me this order. Tomorrow, the Eastern Han Academy will turn a new page. Are you all prepared?

[338] Dong Zhuo successfully took over the Handong Academy

Inside the principal's room at the Eastern Han Academy, Dong Zhuo leisurely swung his billiard cue, the ball going precisely into the pocket. Li Ru and Mei Niang stood silently to the side.

"Hey, not bad luck!" Dong Zhuo said to the two men with a smile as he saw the ball go in accurately. "From today onwards, we will move into the Dong Han Academy and implement the new laws."

Li Ru and Mei Niang straightened their backs and said in unison, "Yes!"

"Originally, we planned to use the Yellow Turban Academy to eliminate the Five Tiger Generals, and then take advantage of the situation to drive out the Yellow Turbans and take over the Eastern Han Academy in a natural way."

Unexpectedly, the Five Tiger Generals turned the tables and dealt with those useless Yellow Turbans. I even had to spend a fortune to obtain the warrant. Although it was troublesome, it ultimately yielded a good result.

"I don't care about the Five Tiger Generals; what I really care about is Student Council President Cao Cao. Go talk to Cao Cao tomorrow."

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Li Ru and Mei Niang looked at him in horror. Dong Zhuo glared at them and demanded an explanation.

"What's wrong? I was just expressing concern. Why are you all so scared? He's not a ghost."

The two hurriedly pointed behind Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo turned around and saw Cao Cao standing there. He was taken aback and quickly bowed.

"Speak of the devil, and he appears; it's no exaggeration, truly amazing!"

Cao Cao stared at Dong Zhuo and asked calmly.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo casually tossed the cue stick to Li Ru, then plopped down on the sofa, patted the sofa next to him, and gestured for Cao Cao to sit down beside him.

"I've heard so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard that when you sneeze, the ground shakes three times."

Cao Cao's expression was icy as he spoke.

"Acting Principal, you're too kind. Let's get straight to the point," Cao Cao replied.

"Great idea! Then I won't beat around the bush. I hope you can help me reform the Dong Han Academy."

"As everyone knows, the acting principal's son-in-law, Li Ru, is both scholarly and martial. Why would you choose me?" Cao Cao declined without hesitation.

Dong Zhuo put away his smile and said seriously.

"To be honest, I hope to join forces with you to dominate the world. If I can become the leader of the entire school alliance, you can have any position you want."

"Thank you for your high regard, acting principal."

Mei Niang also suddenly interrupted.

"Cao Cao, don't even think about getting away with this. You've called him 'acting principal' four times already, which is clearly disrespectful to our Principal Dong Zhuo."

“Meiniang, stop talking nonsense. Only by studying math well will people like you. He mentioned ‘acting principal’ five times in total,” Dong Zhuo said, looking at Cao Cao.

"I just like to speak the truth, please don't overthink it, 'acting' principal!" Cao Cao retorted.

"You've got some nerve, doing it again. But out of respect for you, I won't hold it against you. And I hope you won't misunderstand me," Dong Zhuo said with a forced smile.

"What misunderstanding?" Cao Cao asked in return.

"You've misunderstood me as someone who has taken the position of Dean of the Eastern Han Academy," Dong Zhuo said.

"I have no right to interfere with what the acting principal wants to do. I only hope that Dong Han Academy will get better and better," Cao Cao said, looking at Dong Zhuo.

"Absolutely! I've already planned out the blueprint for reform and development, and I have my own ideas, hahaha..." Dong Zhuo finished speaking and then laughed.

The next day, the Five Tiger Generals, Cao Cao, Lin Yu and others came over and saw a lot of people gathered at the school gate, but none of them went in. Curious, they went forward to check.

"That's outrageous! You have to bring a handkerchief and toilet paper to school? There was never such a rule before!"

Jiang Gan's complaints came first. The crowd quickened their pace and gathered around to take a look.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Seeing Jiang Gan and Li Ru arguing, Cao Cao hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Chairman, you've finally arrived! Look! They insist that people bring handkerchiefs and toilet paper to get in, but I refuse," Jiang Gan said.

Cao Cao immediately pulled Jiang Gan over and asked him urgently.

"Where are the inspectors? Where is Wen Chou?"

"I don't know!"

"Hmph, the great Principal Dong Zhuo has questioned the loyalty of the disciplinary team, so they've been temporarily suspended for investigation," Li Ru said arrogantly, waving his hand.

Cao Cao frowned.

"How come I haven't heard about this?"

"Hmph, the great Principal Dong Zhuo invited you to cooperate but you refused. Now you can no longer exercise the power of the president. You should just behave yourself as a student," Li Ru said to Cao Cao.

“We’ve always been good students, it’s just that this rule is so strange,” Jiang Gan said.
