The next two days were relatively peaceful. Li Mochen once again shuttled between the campus and the apartment.
On Thursday, Pearson, Darby, Spector Law Firm officially filed a lawsuit in the Atlanta District Court. However, there was no need for Li Mochen to step in for the time being. According to Mike Ross, the case did not even need to be heard in court.
Spector Law Firm was using a delaying strategy to wait for the reaction of the media and the public. The longer the case was delayed, the more disadvantageous the situation would be for Kajlen Law Firm and Allen Assessment Company.
In fact, they had already leaked the news to the major newspapers and TV stations in Atlanta. However, Kajlen and Allen Assessment Company had already imposed countermeasures and temporarily suppressed the public opinion.
However, with the power of these two companies, it was obvious that they would not be able to control the situation for long.
Mike Ross estimated that within ten days, they would be able to force them to compromise and obediently hand over the five million gold duns.
Then, the negotiations with Swarovski were also progressing in an orderly manner.
The Xuri Company agreed readily to the conditions proposed by the Xuri Company. Other than not being able to guarantee that they would help them retrieve the goods from the pirates, the other requirements were met.
The only thing that they could not agree on was the price. After Swarovski raised the purchase price to 8.2 million gold duns, he refused to budge.
Li Mochen knew that he would have to compromise sooner or later. It was just that they could not afford to delay the current situation. What could they do when they were inferior? They could not really sell the Archibald Apartment project to Antonio, right?
Not to mention the original Li Mochen, even he himself would not be able to bear it.
It was worth mentioning that on Thursday night, Li Mochen sensed a sudden burst of intense mana fluctuations in the south of the city while he was asleep. He immediately got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the source of the magical turbulence. However, he found nothing. He only found that the residential area was completely dark and in a state of power outage.
Li Mochen guessed that it was also a battle between Outlaws, and there were no less than ten participants. The difference between this and the battle a few days ago was that this time, the two sides had already dragged the battlefield into the Dark World as soon as the battle started.
Li Mochen was also able to confirm that under the surface of the City of Atlanta, there were indeed undercurrents and swords flashing.
Presently, the open and covert strife between the various forces in South City had clearly broken away from the control of the government. The situation over there could go out of control at any time.
On Friday afternoon, Li Mochen once again boarded the bus arranged by the school.
Most of the people in the Sharp Weapon Combat Club had been eliminated in the third round. At this moment, there were only a dozen or so people in the car.
Li Mochen was still isolated, with only William Jacques sitting beside him.
However, the two of them were not in the mood to chat at the moment. At this moment, their eyes were attracted by the conflict that was happening outside the window. Because they were familiar with one of the parties — their grade advisor, Richard.
The other party in this conflict was a student. Li Mochen also knew the latter. He was their classmate. Li Mochen vaguely remembered his name. It seemed to be Samson.
When the two of them noticed, Richard was furiously punching Samson's face. Samson, on the other hand, had tears and snot all over his face. He did not put up much of a fight.
Therefore, Li Mochen was not too worried. He realized that Richard had a sense of propriety. When he punched, he did not use his full strength. He was just curious. What was going on? Richard did not seem like the kind of person who would bully an innocent student.
In fact, he was not the only one who was surprised and confused. Everyone on the bus was paying attention to the situation over there.
"What's going on? That's a grade ten advisor, Richard? Am I seeing things? "
"God of Light above, does he want to be expelled from the school? The school council will not let him go. He is a good man. I don't want to lose him. "
"That guy is Samson? Ha, I think I know what's going on. "
"What's going on? Tell me what you know. I'm curious. "
"This Samson is a top student in Class B. His GPA is above 3.5. However, he screwed up in the midterm exams. Four compulsory courses and five elective courses. The highest he got was a B."
"Wow. But Richard would not beat him up over this, would he?"
"I heard this guy started taking drugs. Apparently, his parents are illegal immigrants who haven't gotten their green cards yet. They spent a lot of money to pay for his tuition at Linden College. You know, with his identity, no matter how good his grades are, he won't get a scholarship. "
"God, he's in hell. No wonder Richard is so angry."
"Blood Fang and Hancock, those bastards! The drugs and ecstasy in our school were all brought in by them. "
"I hate those guys. Now, whoever kills Hancock, I'll definitely worship him. He'll be my idol."
Li Mochen frowned. Then, he looked at Louise Linden meaningfully. The latter was also looking at the scene outside the window with a pale face. Her eyes were filled with anger.
"Those people from Blood Fang are crazy!"
William Jacques was equally enraged: "They actually dared to extend their hands into our B class. Do they really think they can do whatever they want after the Dark Hell Skeleton is gone? "
At this time, the bus they were on was slowly moving. The two people outside the window were pulled away by a few teachers who rushed over. Li Mochen retracted his gaze. Then, he asked hopelessly, "William, do you know where Hancock is? I haven't seen him in school these few days. "
"I don't know either. I've been training these few days and didn't pay attention to them."
Speaking up to this point, William Jacques said thoughtfully, "It's strange. His followers in school have been very well-behaved recently. The last time I saw them in the corridor, they were hiding from me. I don't know what's going on. "
Li Mochen naturally knew the reason. "It's simple. I broke their legs not long ago. Of course, they'll be careful."
"Haha, Ammo, why do you always like to brag? To be honest, it's not funny at all. Forget it. Let's not talk about Hancock. It's annoying! "
William Jacques shook his head. "Let's talk about the next match. Ammo, are you ready? We might meet in the loser's bracket. "
"You said that last time."
Li Mochen laughed. "I don't think that's possible."
"But you're very unlucky this time."
William raised his eyebrows. "Although he's only a level-four swordsman, in the last MOS competition, he relied on his superb swordsmanship to make it into the top 64 and defeated two level-five swordsmen. It's said that his close combat ability is rated 4S. "
However, when the bus they were on arrived at the Storm Stadium, everyone from Linden Academy was stunned again.
They discovered that on the competition schedule, a black line had been drawn across the name of Li Mochen's opponent.
