The two others saw Louis's ferocity and couldn't help but feel some regret. However, Louis didn't give them a chance to regret it. He took a step forward, throwing a punch at the guy closest to him. The person quickly dodged. Louis turned around and kicked another one. Before that guy could react, he felt a sharp pain in their lower body, let out a miserable scream, and rolled on the ground. Only one guy was left, no longer displaying the same bravado as before. They yelled and turned to run, but they were stopped by the onlookers.

The guy hadn't run as far as the distance they had been pushed back. When he looked back, he was halfway to losing his nerve. It turned out Louis was standing right behind them, his eyes glaring crimson at them. The guy kept circling in the center of the arena. No one gave way to him.

Emily came to Louis's side and gently held his hand, not saying a word. Being next to him, she felt a kind of unprecedented sense of security. Louis gradually calmed down, caught up with the guy in a few steps, grabbed their collar, and said, "Remember my name, I'm Louis!" After saying that, he let go, took Emily's hand, and walked away.

"A hero emerges among the youth! To be this young and take down four adults, is impressive!" The speaker was around forty years old, obese, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He emerged from the crowd and was followed by three guys.

Hearing the voice, Louis stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man. He said, "You're too kind!" Just as he finished speaking, Emily ran to him, holding his hand and saying, "Uncle Edwin, what are you doing here?" The man chuckled, "I was out running errands, happened to pass by here, came in to see how the business was doing, and unexpectedly encountered such a young hero!"

Seeing the man praise Louis, Emily felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She said tenderly, "Uncle Edwin, he's my friend!"

The man smiled and said, "Emily, your friend is quite remarkable! I saw it all just now. He's not your boyfriend, is he?"

Emily coquettishly replied, "Uncle Edwin, he's just a regular friend!" After saying that, she tugged on Louis's clothes and walked away. Louis nodded at the man before being pulled out by Emily. The man watched them leave with a smile, then turned to the guy behind him with a stern expression, "Go investigate his background. I want to know who he is!"

Louis and Emily walked down the street after coming out of the disco. Louis asked, "Emily, who was that guy just now? You seemed familiar with him!"

Emily smiled and replied, "He's a friend of my dad and brother."

Although it was Louis's first time meeting the man, he had a feeling that the man was not an ordinary person. This sparked his curiosity about Emily's family, so he asked, "Emily, where do your father and brother work?"

Emily hesitated and looked down without saying anything. Louis quickly added, "I was just asking casually. If it's not something you can share, then you don't have to."

Emily looked up and said to Louis, "I'll tell you. If I don't, you might speculate, and you'll find out sooner or later anyway. My brother is the leader of Dragon."

"What?" Louis stopped in his tracks, looking at Emily incredulously. He asked loudly, "Really?"

Emily nodded and asked, "What's the big deal? Why are you so surprised?"

How could Louis not be surprised? Dragon was one of the top three powers in the city, and achieving such a position here required formidable strength. The leader of Dragon was a significant guy whose every move could send shockwaves through the underground world. He never expected him to be Emily's brother. Suppressing his astonishment, Louis said, "No wonder you mentioned that your brother was a big shot before!" After a moment, he asked, "Was that person just now one of your brother's guys?"

Emily nodded and said, "Yes. He is. He's been with Dragon since my dad became the leader. He's considered an elder figure in the organization and has always treated me well."

Louis suddenly remembered something and burst into laughter. Emily asked, "What's so funny?"

Taking a breath, Louis said, "Rumors are really unreliable! There's a rumor that your sister is the mistress of the leader of Dragon. Now it seems so ridiculous!"

Emily blushed and said, "A while back, when my brother used to pick up my sister after school, some guys saw them together and started spreading baseless rumors. After that, my sister got so mad that she never let my brother pick her up again, but the rumors persisted."

Louis asked, "Does your brother know about the fight between your sister and me?"

Emily shook her head and said, "He probably doesn't know. My sister never talks to him about school matters."

Louis felt a mixture of relief and disappointment. He hoped that one day he could stand against Titans like Dragon, yet he knew he currently paled in comparison to them. They could probably take him down with just a finger. However, his heart was filled with fiery determination to face strong opponents.

As Louis and Emily walked and talked, their bond grew stronger. Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Louis finally walked Emily back home. Emily wanted him to come in for a while, but due to Emma's presence, Louis insisted on leaving.

Early the next day, Louis went to Spring KTV to discuss matters with Steven. The two of them talked in the inner room for a long time, and no one knew what they were saying. It was past ten o'clock when Louis and Steven finally emerged from the room.

As they walked to the doorway, Louis said solemnly, "Once we succeed this time, there will be opportunities for development. If we fail, they won't let us off easily, and it won't end well then!"

Steven nodded and said, "Louis, I think if we clarify the information, we should have no problem eliminating them with our influence."

Louis looked up and sighed, "Our survival depends on this time!" After saying that, Louis left Spring KTV.

When he arrived at the classroom, Bob was in the middle of teaching. Louis entered with his backpack and was about to return to his seat when Bob stopped him and asked, "Louis! Where were you? Why are you coming to class so late?"

Louis explained, "I'm sorry, teacher. I had some matters to handle and didn't make it to class on time."

Bob pointed at him with his finger and said, "Students like you are simply hopeless! Get out, and don't appear in my classroom again!" Bob still remembered the embarrassment Louis had caused him on the first day of school and thought this was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Louis ignored him and sat back down in his seat, saying, "You don't have the right to kick me out of the classroom."

"Get out!" Bob's anger grew as Louis ignored him, and he trembled with frustration.

Louis looked at him and said, "Don't forget that you are a teacher. It's very impolite to argue in front of so many students."

"I really wonder how your parents raised you and how they produced someone like you! It seems your parents aren't good guys either." Bob was losing his composure, and a student daring to oppose him fueled his anger.

Bob's words also infuriated Louis. He could tolerate being insulted, but he couldn't forgive someone insulting his parents. Slowly standing up, Louis took out a knife from his pocket, a knife that had changed his fate.

Seeing the knife, Bob was startled and asked with a trembling voice, "What do you intend to do?"

Louis didn't speak. He slowly revealed the blade, holding it steady. Then, without warning, he swung it fiercely, and a flash of white light flew straight at the teacher. Bob screamed and fell to the ground. The knife stuck into the blackboard, its blade still trembling.

Bob looked at Louis. Louis was staring at him with a demonic gaze, a slight smirk on his lips.

"Murder!" Bob yelled and rushed out of the classroom, quickly heading for the principal's office. Ignoring the surprised gazes of his classmates, Louis walked toward the classroom door. When he reached the door, he signaled to Jack and then walked out of the classroom. Jack immediately understood Louis's intention and followed him out of the classroom.

Bob hurriedly rushed to the principal's office, without knocking on the door, and went straight in. Upon entering, the scene inside made Bob pause for a moment. He saw the principal hugging a young female teacher in a chair, and Bob's sudden intrusion made the principal very angry. "Bob, don't you know you should knock before entering?"

Bob had seen this kind of thing before, so he quickly regained his composure and said loudly, "Principal, a student came at me with a knife. It looks like he wants to kill me!"

The principal disdainfully said, "You're afraid of a student and scared like this? It seems I really need to reconsider whether I should keep using you."

Bob wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Sir, the look in that student's eyes was too terrifying. If you haven't seen it, you won't understand. Really..."

The principal said, "Don't say these useless things, and stop finding so many excuses. Just go out for now, we'll discuss this later!"

Bob looked hesitant and said, "Sir, today you really have to help me! The way he made me look in front of the students was very embarrassing!"

Seeing that Bob wasn't leaving, the principal raised his voice, "Are you done? Get out now, I'll come find you later!" Bob saw the principal getting angry and didn't dare to say anything else. He turned and left, closing the door behind him.

However, just as the door closed, it opened again, and Bob came back in with a pale face. The principal scolded loudly, "Bob, why are you back? Get out of here!" His words were cut short because another guy entered from outside, and it was Louis.

Bob was sweating profusely and turned to the principal, saying, "It's not that I wanted to come back, it's him... he..."

The principal stood up and said, "What's your name? You have quite the audacity. Don't you know who I am?"

The student smiled and said, "My name is Louis. Remember my name! You'll need it in the future."

The principal asked, "Are you the one who tried to attack the teacher with a knife?"

Louis didn't speak, and he walked confidently towards the principal. The principal's heart trembled, and he asked, "Stop right there, what... what do you want?"

Louis walked up to the principal, picked up a bottle of ink from the desk, and played with it in his hand. He said, "I hope you and the other teachers won't provoke me. You can continue being the emperor here, or else don't blame me for bringing you down."

The principal angrily said, "Who do you think you are? Speaking like this in front of me. Let me tell you, I'm in charge here. No one can order me around!"

Louis said, "That was the past, things are different now. If you don't have blurred vision, go to the window and look outside." With that, he smashed the ink bottle against the window glass.

The principal looked at him and walked slowly to the window to look outside. He saw the schoolyard filled with students, many of them holding sticks. As soon as the principal showed his face, they shouted in unison, "Louis! Louis! Louis!" The principal was shocked by this scene, standing stunned by the window. It took a while before he reacted and looked at Louis in disbelief.

Louis didn't say anything, he turned and walked outside, stopping at the door, not looking back as he said, "From now on, I'm in charge here!"

The principal gazed at the empty doorway and said slowly, "He's a devil!" Bob stood to the side like a piece of wood.

Outside in the schoolyard, Jack, Eric, Alan, and Henry, standing at the front with a smile. Jack said to Henry, "How's that! Following Louis, the underground forces in this city will belong to us in the future! Sooner or later, Louis will be able to dominate the underworld!"

Henry sighed deeply, saying softly, "I'm willing to give my life to Louis. But the only thing that makes me feel guilty is Billy..."

Jack patted his shoulder and said, "We all respect you as a courageous man, and it's precisely because of this that Louis accepted you. I'm not good with words, but I know that once you've done certain things, you shouldn't regret them. Following someone you respect and trust, who also has the ability, is a kind of happiness."
