Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Erica happened to be nearby and explained to him, "Donnie thought Jingyuan was a commoner and hit him. Jingyuan fought back, but Donnie couldn't beat him, so the two of them started arguing."

Mark saw Jingyuan's nonchalant expression, while Donnie grimaced, clearly very concerned.

Mark walked over and gestured for Jingyuan to let go of his hand.

When Donnie saw Mark approaching, he dared not cause any more trouble.

Mark put his right hand on Donnie's shoulder and looked at him, saying, "I've told you before, we Upper Class Dust People are just genetically different. Don't just hit or curse us. Dust People are people too! I know about this. You hit Jingyuan, and he fought back! Let's put this matter behind us. Otherwise, if it escalates to the law firm, neither of you will be in a good position!"

With Mark intervening, Donnie didn't dare say anything.

Then, Mark addressed the onlookers, saying, "Everyone must always remember that our enemy is the Devouring Beasts, and this cruel apocalypse. We don't need to waste our energy on these meaningless battles!"

“I understand, Captain Mark,” Jing Yuan nodded. Although he didn’t agree, Mark was helping him out of a tight spot, so he could only nod and say he understood.

Having lived in the lighthouse for so many years, Jingyuan increasingly felt that the most important thing was the conflict between people, especially in such extreme environments.

Penny went over and helped Donnie up, but Donnie shook off Penny's hand.

Jingyuan wanted to step forward and say something, but then he thought, what does this have to do with him?

After the crowd dispersed, everyone returned to their respective posts.

A gaunt young man inquired about the relationship between Donnie and Jingyuan, and after several twists and turns, finally learned the details from a member of the Hunters team.

After leaving the armory, the young man unexpectedly arrived at the Church of the Light of Time.

After being informed, the young man entered the inner court and met Charles.

"Master Huishou."

Charles, sipping his red wine leisurely, glanced at him and asked, "What is it?"

"It's about Captain Mark!"

"Oh? Tell me."

Charles had people working for the Wilderness Hunters, and he wanted to monitor Mark's every move.

"There was an upper-class citizen named Jingyuan. He wasn't a hunter yet, but Captain Mark took him to the surface. To cover their tracks, he even made him pretend to be a commoner. An upper-class citizen named Donnie mistook Jingyuan for a commoner and tried to teach him a lesson, but ended up being taught a lesson himself. The two of them even had a commotion in the maintenance depot."

“Jingyuan!” Charles gritted his teeth when he heard the name.

It was because of him that Charles got a scolding from Morgan.

Charles pondered for a moment.

It's only been a day since Jingyuan's incident; it's not a good time to make a fuss about him now. After all, he's someone Morgan values.

If we're going to make a point, we can only make a point about Mark.

Anyway, Charles was mainly targeting Mark.

"I'll give you a task."

"Please give your orders, Your Excellency."

"The lighthouse has long had a rule that non-Hunter members are prohibited from going down to the surface unless required for a mission. Do you think Captain Mark took non-missionary civilians down to the surface without authorization, or did he pre-determine Hunter slots?"

The young man was quick-witted and immediately said, "Whether it's bringing people down to the surface without permission or setting the number of hunters privately, it's all against the Lighthouse's regulations."

"You know what to do, right?"

"know."

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

The young people stepped down.

Charles continued sipping his red wine.

In fact, even if Mark is found guilty of taking people to the surface without permission, he would only be fined a few contribution points.

Charles really didn't want to miss any opportunity to mess with Mark!

Later that evening, the hunters had a meal together in the canteen.

It was called a group meal, but it was really just everyone picking up their own food and eating together in the cafeteria.

The thin young man deliberately sat down next to Donnie and greeted him, "Hi, Donnie!"

Donnie looked up and saw, "Berry."

The gaunt young man, Berry, feigned concern and said, "I heard that the kid you clashed with today went down wearing the clothes of a commoner. How could he be wearing the clothes of a commoner?"

"I don't know." Donnie was in a bad mood.

“Wearing the clothes of a mortal, isn’t that just asking for trouble?” Berry said deliberately. “I heard that Captain Mark took him down to the surface without permission, so he deliberately made him pretend to be a mortal laborer.”

At this moment, several other members of the Hunters team came over and deliberately said, "Bringing people down to the surface without permission seems to be a violation of regulations!"

"Yes! Why would Captain Mark take him down with him?"

"I heard that Jing Yuan was someone Captain Mark had pre-selected to join the Hunters."

"Even if it's pre-arranged, they can't go down to the ground! Ever since the last accident, the city lord has strictly ordered..."

"Can you really get into the Hunter of the Wasteland through internal selection? We all have to pass the exams to get in, so why can he get in through internal selection?"

Led by Berry, the group discussed the matter at length.

At that moment, everyone was eating in the cafeteria, and their conversation was overheard by others, sparking a discussion among them.

Coincidentally, Jingyuan was here too.

Chapter 12 Discussion

Erica invited Jingyuan to dine with her, along with Ran Bing, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, Jessica, and others.

As Erica suggested, Jingyuan is about to join the Hunters, so she wanted to introduce him to them beforehand.

The group sat down to eat and naturally overheard the conversation on the other side.

"Donnie, Captain Mark's treatment of you is unfair!"

"Yes! He was the one who impersonated a commoner first, you did nothing wrong!"

"Yes! Even if Captain Mark wanted to pre-select him for the Wilderness Hunters, this is still unacceptable!"

"Yes, Captain Mark, this is unfair!"

Erica was indignant when she heard them say that about Mark, and got up to confront them.

Suddenly, Penny appeared next to Donnie and said to him, "Donnie, don't listen to their nonsense. You know how Captain Mark treats you."

Donnie hesitated. Berry and his group had gone too far, and there was an element of incitement in their words.

Donnie wasn't stupid; he could tell.

Seeing Donnie's state, Penny quickly said, "Donnie, let's sit over there! I have something to tell you!"

Seeing this, Berry stood up and said, "Penny, you and Donnie are teammates, why are you taking the side of outsiders?"

Penny was about to retort when she saw Berry's expression change.

Turning around, I saw Mark walk in.

The hunters led by Berry were just small fry. They dared to speak ill of Mark behind his back, but they didn't have the guts to do it to his face.

Seeing that the other person sat down reluctantly, Penny didn't say anything more.

At that moment, a woman with a stunning figure, wearing a high-slit cheongsam and a mask, walked into the cafeteria. Several priests followed behind her.

"It's the Light Bearer!"

What are the people from the law firm doing here?

The people on the lighthouse were somewhat afraid of the people from the law institute.

The people of the law institute carry out religious orders, and they have the power to enforce and interpret them.

Although the Lighthouse Regulations are strict, the right to interpret them rests with the law firm and the Light and Shadow Society. Whether or not a regulation is violated is up to them.

If the punishment is unknown, then its power is immeasurable!

Therefore, everyone in the lighthouse who saw the Lightbearer was in danger! They were all afraid that they had done something wrong!

The group led by the Lightbringer Vatican went straight to Berry and the others.

Although Vanti was wearing a mask, you could still feel the coldness in her voice.

"Speaking ill of one's superior, what do you suggest should be the punishment?"

A priest behind Vatican Vatican V stepped forward and said, "Each person shall be punished with ten lashes!"

Vatican looked at the group coldly. "You all heard that. Step forward and receive your punishment!"

Berry was stunned when he heard this.

The leader didn't mention this part!

The team members that Berry had called over looked resentful and glared at Berry.

What could Berry do? He was just a lowly lackey.
