Chapter 477 - 59: Acted Bravely

At that moment, Antonette heard a familiar voice, "Antonette, what's the matter?"

Antonette looked up and saw her classmates across the street. Most of them were guys. She immediately recalled their class had a basketball game that night and the guys were out for a post-match drink.

She made a quick decision. "Help me! There are some guys chasing me! I was hanging out with Bell tonight, and we met a group of bullies. I don't know them, but it seems they know Diana. They kept on saying we owed them money. They're really scary, and they started fighting with us. Diana is still there. Could you help her?!"

"What?!" the boys stood up immediately. Diana and Antonette were the most beautiful girls in their class, possibly even in the whole department. Most of the guys secretly adored them. Hearing their goddess was in danger, the boys sprang into action.

By that time, the bullies had caught up with Antonette and were shouting insults at her. Antonette's classmates jumped straight into a fight against the bullies. They were stronger and heavily outnumbered the other guys. Before long, they dispatched the group that had been chasing Antonette and then ran in the direction where Antonette last saw Diana.

Kyle was injured, but he was still managing to keep Diana protected behind him. They were now cornered by Carl and his friends.

Carl had a sinister grin. "Now, it seems you understand there is a price to pay for being with a beauty like her!"

The guys beside him laughed and edged closer to Kyle and Diana.

Kyle guarded Diana tightly and said to her in a low voice, "When the fight begins, you have to get away!"

Diana shook her head immediately. She said tearfully, "Kyle, I won't leave you alone, you'll be beaten to death!"

I am fine! But you cannot stay here. I don't know what they would do to you!" Kyle swore that if he could get out of this situation alive, he would one day make these bullies regret what they'd done.

"Aww, still in the mood for romance even when faced with imminent death."

Carl laughed evilly. "You can blame Antonette White for this. It's that bitch's fault, and now she's left you behind!"

He paused for a second, then turned to his friends, "Where is Adrian? Why did they need such a long time to catch a woman?!"

The guy beside him smiled o.b.s.c.e.n.ely, "Maybe Adrian has already caught the bitch and is just teaching her a lesson…" he laughed. "I should have followed her as well. After all, she's a good looking bitch, big b.r.e.a.s.ts... Adrian and I could have taken turns."

Carl disagreed. "You are inexperienced. The girl in front of us is of much higher quality. Look at her figure. I bet she's a v.i.r.g.i.n. You are stupid if you want a secondhand bitch like Antonette."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the alley that Antonette had previously run down. The bullies looked at each other alertly.

"There!" Antonette's voice rang out from the alley, and a crowd of tall, strong boys rushed out from behind her.

"F.u.c.k! Carl, they've got backup! What do we do now?!"

"Don't panic! I am here!" Carl yelled out. But he and his friends were too slow to react, and the group of guys swarmed over them.

The situation was soon one of absolute chaos. Although Carl's friends were fewer than the students, they were ruthless and had various tricks up their sleeves. The fighting continued with neither side gaining the upper hand.

As the fighting raged, a figure appeared from the main street and shouted, "What are you doing here?!" Some of the guys turned to look. It was the police!

The bullies all had criminal records. Carl knew they could not win the fight this time. He yelled out, "Guys, the police are here! Let's go!"

Carl's friends heeded his call. They all stopped fighting and ran away down the other end of the alley.

"Everyone okay?" the students looked at each other, grinning and high-fiving one another after their victory. Though they'd won, everyone was hurt, even Diana.

After the bullies fled, the students were the only ones left for the police to question. And in the police's eyes, they were not good people. He came to them with a dark face. "What happened here?! Why were you fighting?!"

Kyle tried to explain to the police, "We are students, we're not bad people."

"You must make a full confession to the police. No matter if you are students or not." The police wouldn't listen to the group's protests and arrested everyone.

The group of students soon arrived at the police station. They were put in a cell together and told to wait.

Hours passed as the students continued to maintain their innocence when questioned by the police.

Finally, their college counselor came to the station. The students weren't worried when confronted with the bullies but seeing the counselor's look of sheer anger, they could not remain calm anymore.

Eventually, the counselor was able to get everyone out on bail. The moment they got outside the station, he erupted in anger, "Look what you have done! What time is it now?!" OK, no one wants to tell me, right?"

The counselor looked at the time. "It is 8 am! You dare to stay out all night! Have you forgotten the school rules? No one is allowed to stay out after 11 pm! And look at yourselves. All of your faces are black and blue!"

"I know all of your names. Everyone here will be given a demerit!" the counselor continued angrily.

These words instantly killed the joy the students had carried with them since the fight.

"We acted bravely for a just cause!" one player called out.

"Acted bravely? Tell me what happened from beginning to end right now! I need to know all of it!" the counselor stared sternly at them.

The students looked at each other in speechless despair.

"Tell me now!" The counselor got angrier at their silence.

"Please calm down. We didn't fight with the bullies deliberately. There was a valid reason," the basketball captain explained finally.

Seeing the situation, Kyle could see things were escalating. So, he stood up and explained to the counselor, "It is not their fault, it is mine."
