章 125: Title Of Influential Person
[Chapter 125]
If not, Zachary would not have remained silent after such a humiliating defeat. It did not fit his identity as one of the eight great fighters in T faction.
The only reason he had not returned yet after all this time was because he felt that he would not be able t o command the situation properly if he returned.
Although there was some hostility between T faction and the SCC, it was not that members of T faction could not cross over into areas that the SCC had control over, or that members of the SCC could not enter places where T faction was located.
It was a face-saving issue limited to only the higher-ups of both parties, or at least between the eight great fighters of T faction and the SCC's core members.
When one party's higher-ups set out, the other party would send out appropriate members to meet them a s well.
Ordinary members could go anywhere they pleased, for no one paid any attention to them.
Previously, if Charles had not been desperate to get himself promoted to core membership and reverse his family's declining situation, he could have pretended to not have seen anything.
After all, he was merely a high-tier member of the SCC, and his position could not be compared against Zachary's position as one of the eight great fighters of T faction.
What he wanted was to attract the attention of the SCC's three bosses.
As water shapes itself into the vessel that contains it, a wise man adapts himself to his circumstances. Howard did not think he was at fault for doing what he had done, and no one would laugh at him even if
word got out.
At most, the people in school who did not know who David was would merely think he was a coward.
Besides, he was going to graduate soon. No matter how they tried, the ordinary people in his school would never attain the level he was at in their lifetime.
Howard continued bowing to David, not daring to straighten himself before hearing David's voice. The only thing he could do now was to maintain this posture.
Just then, David returned to his senses and said, "Mr. Jackson, it'd be a good idea for you to maintain a low profile! That student did not commit a great offense just now. Was there a need to be so harsh on him? If I hadn't caught him just now, he would have suffered grave injuries from falling from such a great height! You're in South River University in River City, not Capital City!"
As the saying goes, never strike someone showing friendliness. Instead of playing by the usual rules, Howard had chosen to bow and apologize to him, causing David to feel a little embarrassed. After all, there was no deep hatred or resentment between them.
"Yes, sir, Mr. Liddell! I'll keep that in mind!" Only then did Howard straighten up and speak in a tone that was as respectful as ever.
Feeling bored, David turned and left.
He had initially thought he would be able to pick up a few tricks and learn how to control his strength. Yet, in the end, not only had he not learned anything, but he had also felt like a monkey as everyone gathered around and stared at him.
Everyone near David automatically cleared a path for him.
They had initially thought there would be a dramatic showdown, but it had ended so peacefully.
Everyone stared at David's retreating figure with equal parts curiosity and respect.
It seemed that from today onwards, someone else would be claiming the title of the most influential person in SRU. It had only taken David slightly more than half a month to go from being an unknown person to becoming the most influential person in SRU. The speed at which things had progressed was simply unbelievable.
No one knew what thoughts were running through Luna's mind as she stared at David's disappearing figure.
When David walked past Leo and Sarah, she seemed to want to say something before realizing that she no longer had any connections to him. It seemed that no matter what she said to him, it would be pointless.
Howard let out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw that David was leaving without causing him any trouble.
Ever since witnessing David's power the other night, Howard had found it extremely stressful to face David head-on.
Those who did not have any basics in martial arts would not be able to understand the kind of pressure h e faced. It felt as terrifying as asking an ordinary person to face a higher power.
"Miss Luna! Mr. Zachary arranged for me to keep an eye on you, and I hope you will show yourself some respect and care. Things will not be as pleasant as they are now if Mr. Zachary has to make an appearance himself." Howard said before leaving the hall.
"Howard Jackson, what gives you the right to speak to me that way? Go back and tell Zachary Quinn that I'm not married to him yet! He has no right to control me now!" Luna said angrily as Howard turned around.
Howard walked away.
However, his final conversation with Luna had placed lots of questions and assumptions into the minds o f the students in the hall who had been watching them.
What did that mean?
It seemed that Howard had just been sent by someone named Zachary Quinn to keep an eye on Luna.
Did that mean that Luna Shoron was already taken?
You could tell from the fact that Howard addressed that person as Mr. Zachary Quinn, that he was not a force to be reckoned with.
Compared to David, who was more powerful?
What most of them were thinking now was that things would become very exciting if David started an affair with Luna and made Mr. Zachary Quinn come over to SRU and meet with David.
However, based on David's attitude just now, it seemed that he had no interest in Luna Shoron, the most beautiful of the Three Campus Belles of SRU.
