Chapter 162
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Chloe was momentarily stunned.
She could hardly believe her own ears.
It wasn't until her companions urged Instructor Ren repeatedly that she was finally roused from her daze.
Chloe turned around to face her.
—It was indeed Ren Yunying, no doubt.
But... Hurst said he had locked Instructor Ren in that...
"What are you thinking about?" Ren Yunying stroked Chloe's hair, speaking in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"This is just a game."
Hearing this, Chloe pursed her lips.
She didn't say anything, but that didn't mean the other companions wouldn't speak up.
Daniel protested first, jumping up and down angrily: "We almost died in the arena! You call this just a game?!"
Qin Huaibei also frowned, disapproving, "Instructor Ren, I think this is inappropriate."
He looked at Chloe, then said:
"I don't think this is something everyone can accept."
Especially Chloe.
In the silence, Daniel moved his injured limbs, limping over to the downcast Chloe, bending down in an attempt to see her current state:
"Is she crying?"
No sooner had he spoken than Chloe punched him.
Daniel: "Oww!!"
He rubbed his reddened nose, retreating quietly.
Qin Huaibei patted his shoulder reassuringly.
Seeing this, Ren Yunying hugged Chloe tighter:
"It's okay, the military academy just wants you to grow faster, they didn't mean to hurt you..."
Chloe frowned slightly: "I know."
She pushed away Ren Yunying's hand on her body:
"I know, you were hugging too tight, my shoulder hurts."
Hearing this, Ren Yunying quickly let go.
After the explanation, the battered and bruised Hurst was finally able to speak.
He held an ice pack handed to him by a staff member, wincing in pain:
"Oh my, Miss Chloe, you really don't look like a lady punching people at the drop of a hat."
Chloe gave him a cold look:
"I've never claimed to be a lady, so please don't always define me with the words 'lady'."
"Otherwise, I'll definitely punch you again."
...
"I think this is very unfair," Chloe said seriously, kicking a small stone aside.
Everyone turned to look at her.
Qin Huaibei: "How so?"
Chloe: "We were brought all the way to the Barren Planet, and before we even did anything, we were thrown into the arena to fight for our lives."
"When we finally made it out alive, we found out it was all Instructor Ren's conspiracy and trickery."
"Even after we understood, Instructor Ren didn't apologize to us, but merely gave a cursory explanation before kicking us out to experience the local customs of the Barren Planet."
After this long speech, everyone felt she made some valid points.
Katherine looked at her: "So what do you think we should do?"
Chloe carefully considered, then shook her head dejectedly.
It seemed they had nothing that could threaten Ren Yunying.
Even if they spoke up, chances were Ren Yunying would just slowly brandish her whip to intimidate them.
How pitiful.
The group of five cubs walked along the Barren Planet's road, looking somber.
They were just too conspicuous, frequently drawing various gazes from passersby.
Some curious, some greedy.
But it wasn't long before someone couldn't resist the urge and approached them.
It was a scrawny man who rushed over without any qualms, reaching out to grab the most harmless-looking Katherine from the group.
But before his bony hand could touch Katherine, Chloe grabbed his wrist.
The cub's strength was surprisingly great, and after being grabbed, the man's wrist hurt terribly, as if all the blood in his body had stopped flowing.
Chloe smiled sincerely, her slightly opened mouth revealing glimpses of sharp fangs, razor-sharp and sparkling with faint light in the Barren Planet's dim illumination.
It was quite obvious.
They looked like they could easily tear a person's throat apart.
The man's throat moved, and for some unknown reason, he let out a cold sweat, instinctively trying to break free from Chloe's grasp.
The first time he struggled, he couldn't break free, but on the second attempt, the man approached.
They were just a bunch of brats, he could crush them with one hand, what's the big deal?
Thinking this, the man immediately grabbed Chloe's wrist, sneering:
"Brat, you know what kind of place this is, even if I pull out a knife on the street and... Ah!"
The man's words were cut off by a scream of agony.
He stared in shock at his severed hand, a look of terror spreading across his eyes.
Blood gushed out, the severed hand falling to the ground.
He trembled as he raised his eyes, just in time to see a sincere smile on Chloe's lips, her fangs reflecting a faint light, as she said delightedly:
"Mister, if your hands are dirty, you can just chop them off, you know~"Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
