Damn it, he's the dean of the Fighter God Academy!?
Steve and Du Chen looked at each other in confusion and fell into silence and worry.
One of the few remaining human Legendary Fighter God, a mentor to countless outstanding fighter gods, known as the "Father of Fighter Gods," a Level 10 Fighter God, under the title of "Eternal Glory" - Zig holiness!
Any one of these titles would overshadow their ancestor, Siglu.
But even so, Du Chen wouldn't worry too much. After all, Zig is known for his fairness, justice, and integrity. If his temperament is really as rumored, he wouldn't hold a grudge against Du Chen. He might even praise him for saving lives.
However, he is still the dean, and the students actually made the dean vomit blood...
Life in the Fighter God Academy is destined to be difficult from now on!
Even if the teachers at the Fighter God Academy won't take it out on the principal, how will Zig's students deal with Du Chen? Even a Normal student, Du Chen wouldn't be able to handle it.
Zig holiness is much older than his appearance suggests. In fact, this old man has been the dean of the Fighter God Academy for fifty years. What a terrible influence you have accumulated in these years..
Not to mention others, Francis's father, Angus, graduated from the Fighter God Academy. And now, Du Chen's first meeting with an unknown master has made him vomit blood...
In fact, teachers are a terrifying group, especially those teacher who have students all over the world and hold high positions. Offending one of them is equivalent to offending a whole group!
"No!" Du Chen shook his head and grabbed the arm of the military officer after seeing that the onlookers had dispersed. He asked, "When he grabbed me just now, he didn't have any power. If he really is Zig holiness, a Level 10 Fighter God, how is that possible?"
Steve nodded, "Exactly, he was already unsteady with a slight girl on his back. How could he be Zig holiness?"
The military officer smiled bitterly, "Young masters, the token cannot be wrong. Besides, with the prestigious position of the Fighter God Academy, who can impersonate Zig holiness? And who would dare to impersonate Zig holiness?"
"What!? Are you saying that person just now was Zig holiness!?"
At this moment, Aliza came down from the carriage with Harry. After hearing this, Harry widened his small eyes, thought for a moment, and waved to Du Chen and Steve, "Both of you are incredibly smart. You should have figured out the reason for Zig Mian's weakness, right!"
Yes, not only did Du Chen think of it, but even Steve understood.
There must have been a major event in the southern ocean - a duel between two high-level fighter gods, one of whom is likely Zig! And he must have been seriously injured and escaped to the port of Antwerp!
So the injured Zig looks no different from an ordinary person.
As for the girl in the sack... obviously, she is Zig's captive.
Oh my, Is she be another powerful fighter god!?
Is it possible? That "frail" beautiful girl? But then again, if a creepy old charlatan can be Zig holiness, then the beautiful girl could naturally be a powerful fighter god.
"Damn it, Francis, we almost do harm by doing good intentions. That girl is Zig holiness's captive, she definitely won't be a good person! Maybe she's even a witch or something, no wonder she's so alluring!" Steve shook his head in frustration. Having been educated in the ways of fighter gods since childhood, he subconsciously believed that Zig was a good person, so naturally, Zig's captive would not be a good person either.
Would Christians in Du Chen's previous life consider Jesus to be a bad person? Similarly, this kind of thinking is quite common in the world of fighter gods.

But Du Chen didn't think that way. Who can determine good and evil? He himself is a thief with the title of "virtue."
"Brother, let's not think about this anymore. We've offended the dean, and after enrolling, even if Zig holiness doesn't hold us accountable, once other teachers find out about this, there will probably be many people coming to 'chat' with us!" Steve discussed with Du Chen, "There are only two options left now, either run away or apologize immediately. Which one should we choose?" Steve was feeling a bit lost and had to rely on his recently "wise" younger brother.
Du Chen pondered for a long time but couldn't make up his mind.
If they run away, what about the disaster relief? They can't just abandon such a great act of kindness. But if they go to apologize, they might be severely scolded by the enraged Dean Zig!
"Can I offer a suggestion, young masters?" Harry, still being held by Aliza's belt, wobbled his chubby body, indicating that he was very uncomfortable.
"Aliza, loose him!" Du Chen ordered.
Aliza loosened her giant palm like a fan, and with a thud, Harry fell to the ground. He patted his butt and got up, awkwardly smiling, "The two incredibly wise young masters, this lowly servant suggests that you better go apologize. Even though you didn't mention your names just now, ice and snow will always melt under the scorching sun. It's better to explain things clearly early on, and besides, you haven't done anything wrong. Can Zig holiness blame you for anything? At most, he will just caution you to carefully analyze the truth of the matter next time."
Du Chen's mind stirred, realizing that Harry's words actually made sense. The two brothers looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Harry was overjoyed and continued, "Then please take me with you to apologize. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain how you discovered the girl on his back."
Du Chen coldly glanced at Harry.
Indeed, the Snowbeast people were cunning. If they brought him along to apologize, then Harry, this bandit, could temporarily avoid being handed over to the tribunal.
Du Chen didn't want to pay attention to this clever yet despicable Snowbeast person, but he did need Harry as a witness. He had no choice but to bring him into the city.
Steve handed over the remaining bandits to the officer, clarified the reason, and ordered the mercenaries to escort the disaster relief funds slowly into the port of Antwerp.
The architectural style of the port city was vastly different from that of the inland. With the gentle sea breeze, the air was filled with a faint salty smell. In the distance, the port bustled with cargo ships, and strong laborers carried goods. On the nearby streets, people hurriedly passed by, busy making a living.
Antwerp Port deserved to be the starting point of the Golden Triangle trade route. One could tell from the luxurious buildings along the street that its economic level was even stronger than the imperial capital, St. John City.
But Du Chen was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the port.
He was contemplating how to speak to the dean, otherwise, how would they live in the future?
The Lord's Manor was not far from the city gate and resembled a church-style estate. Just as Du Chen and the others arrived, suddenly, the gates of the Lord's Manor opened, and squads of soldiers rushed out. They all looked hurried, as if they had an urgent mission.
"By the Lord's command, the sick refugees have entered the city. From now on, the port is closed, and the city gates are under strict control to prevent the spread of the epidemic!"
The soldiers ran in all directions, loudly announcing the Lord's orders as they ran.
Du Chen understood in his heart that the reason for the city's strict control was definitely not to prevent the spread of the epidemic, but because of Dean Zig!
Instructing the accompanying personnel to wait from a distance, Steve and Du Chen approached with Harry to report. Soon, the Lord of Antwerp personally came out to greet them.
"Oh, it turns out that the two young masters from General Angus have arrived. Uncle has already received the news that you would come to Antwerp Port for disaster relief before reporting. Great, the victims have hope now. Please, come in quickly!"
The Lord immediately grabbed Steve and Du Chen's hands in a friendly manner. He was a slightly wealthy middle-aged man, with a black beard that matched his tall stature, giving him a powerful appearance. However, he was dressed in a snow-white noble robe, which seemed somewhat out of place.
"Uncle Norton, hello. Please allow me to convey my father's sincerest greetings to you!" Steve greeted politely.
"Hehe, the Marshal still remembers this old subordinate of his!" Norton laughed happily and sincerely. He came from the Siglu Legion and was personally promoted by General Angus. In a way, he was considered "one of their own."
"And this must be Baron Francis? Haha, quite handsome. Weren't you surrounded by girls when you entered the city?" Although he was joking in a friendly manner, Norton's attitude towards Du Chen was not as warm as towards Steve, and there was something strange in his eyes.
So, this was the shame of the St. Kain family, Francis, who made the holy and glorious Siglu feel embarrassed?
Du Chen smiled. Norton's attitude was just like the family's retainers at St. Kain Manor, and he had gotten used to it.
"Snowbeast person?!" Norton noticed Harry and quickly furrowed his brows.
"This is a prisoner we captured. We need him to testify for something." Du Chen briefly explained the situation and sighed, "Uncle Norton, is Dean Zig still here? I need to apologize to him!"
Norton's smile froze on his face. "By the holy and glorious Siglu, so you're the one who made Dean Zig cough up blood with your insults?!"
