Chapter 697
On the way, Leah asked Mira, “Aren’t you scared p>
As a bystander, her heart was still pounding furiously.
“I stand tall and act with a clear conscience. What is there to be afraid of p>
“But you beat up Luna and her mother. Won’t the school punish you? Won’t they come after you p>
She had heard the Lance family wielded immense power.
“Luna and her mother will definitely try to settle the score. Isn’t that what they were doing today?
As for the school, they struck first, and I acted in self-defense. What did I do wrong p>
“But you beat them into the ground. It seemed a bit… extreme p>
“If I hadn’t beaten them down, would they have stopped?
They used numbers to bully the weak, and I fought back. Is that wrong p>
Mira spoke with a sense of undeniable righteousness as she walked.
“No, but you offended the Lance family of Aethelgard. Your future days p>
“I offended the Lance family a long time ago. But I’m not afraid of being bullied, because I’m strong enough to handle it.
If you’re worried about getting caught in the crossfire, you can keep your distance from me from now on p>
“How could I be that kind of person?
Even though I couldn’t help much, I’ll still speak up for you in front of everyone.” Mira nodded and continued walking.
She hoped Leah wouldn’t disappoint her, given how long they had been friends.
When Mira wasn’t paying attention, Leah whispered to Elara, “Aren’t you afraid of being dragged down with her p>
If Luna returned to school and couldn’t get to Mira, she might target the people around her.
“I’m not scared. If you’re terrified, you can just walk away from Mira p>
Elara had been friends with Mira for over three years. Mira had helped her time and time again, and Elara had never let her down.
After class, Owen informed Mira that the school had wrapped up the investigation into the brawl.
Until Luna was fully cured of her psychiatric disability, she was banned from stepping foot on campus.
Lady Lilian, having brought thugs onto school grounds to assault a student, was ordered to pay a thirty thousand dollar settlement for medical and emotional damages.
Luna’s parents were permanently banned from the university premises without special permission from the dean.
Mira
gave him a tight hug. “Thank you, Owen p>
She knew the school’s ruling had a lot to do with Owen pulling strings behind the scenes.
“I’m your boyfriend. Isn’t it my job to do these little things for you? Don’t be so polite with me from now on p>
“I know p>
“Even though the punishment was on the lighter side, at least they took our side and gave the Lance family a slap in the face.
They were injured pretty badly, and since the Lance family is a major donor to Aethelgard University, they couldn’t push the penalty any further content
“I understand. As long as we’re on the side of justice, that’s enough p>
After that, Owen left; he had a mountain of corporate matters waiting for his attention.
By this time, videos of Mira’s brawl had flooded the Aethelgard Social Forum.
“This is insane! It’s like a real-life action movie p>
“Whoa, Mira kicked someone sixteen feet away!
I always knew she was an amazing songwriter and singer, but I never expected her
to be a martial arts master too p>
“Lady Lilian completely disgraced the Lance family.
She showed up aggressively with a bunch of bodyguards to mess with Mira, and ended up getting beaten so badly her own father wouldn’t recognize her p>
“So satisfying. Just watching these experts fight is way better than any blockbuster p>
The school’s disciplinary notice was also posted on the public bulletin board.
“Wait, Lady Lilian is paying Mira? But I didn’t see Mira get hurt at all p>
“Luna and her mother took way more damage than Mira did p>
“Well, who told them to throw their weight around and bring thugs to campus to bully
her?
If you lose the fight, you can only blame your own lack of skill p>
At the Lance estate.
“I told you last night not to cause any more complications! Why did you have to take her to school to start a fight?
Do you think this mess isn’t big enough? Haven’t we been humiliated enough?” Richard pointed a trembling finger at Lady Lilian, his mustache quivering with rage.
