Chapter 23: Injured Linda
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mike, are you back?”
“I’m here, Mother.”
Hearing his mother’s knock on the door, Mike was very happy. He was about to get up and open the door so that his mother could take a good look at his harvest this time.
His mother would definitely be very happy.
However, the next second, what Hestia said outside the door made Mike extremely angry.
“M-Mike, Linda, she… She’s injured, I… really don’t know what to do…”
Before Hestia could finish speaking, she actually started crying.
Hearing this, Mike opened the door directly.
The moment he opened the door, he saw an old woman carrying Linda on her back, silently crying.
Seeing this scene, Mike was not in the mood to show the spoils of war to Hestia.
He quickly went forward and carried Linda off Hestia’s back, then laid her down on the sofa.
“Mother, what happened?”
“I… I don’t know. When I was at work, I heard the neighbors say something happened to Linda, so I followed her to Loess Street and saw…”
Speaking of this, Hestia was crying so hard that she could not speak.
At this moment, Mike turned his head to look at Linda.
He found that there were dense red spots on her body.
This was the venom of the Poisonous Wasp Queen!
An ordinary person would be in unbearable pain after being bitten by a Poisonous Wasp.
If they were bitten by the Poisonous Wasp Queen, their lives might be in danger!
Besides, all of the Poisonous Wasps were killed by Mike, right?
Under the Dragon God’s Suppression, it was impossible for any insects to escape its pressure, let alone the Poisonous Wasp Queen.
What was going on?!
However, before he could open his mouth to ask…
Linda’s painful voice was heard.
“Urghh, brother… Brother…”
It turned out that his hand had touched Linda’s arm.
Mike immediately removed the clothes on Linda’s arm and found a purple bruise.
Obviously, his sister had been bullied.
However, Mike could not understand. Linda had always been very obedient and smart on Loess Street. How could she be bullied?
“Brother… This is for you.”
Linda took out a small round object from her arms and handed it to Mike.
“This is…”
Seeing this scene, Mike’s heart was in a panic.
This was a Pet Beast Egg!
“Brother, I’m sorry, Linda can only afford the worst pet egg,” Linda said weakly, her expression was a little ashamed.
Taking the Pet Beast Egg from Linda’s hand, Mike felt very upset.
Although this Pet Beast Egg was only the size of a chicken egg, he had heavy emotions.
This was his sister and mother’s deep love for him!
After all, even if this Pet Beast Egg was the weakest Pet Beast Egg, it still cost 10,000 federal dollars.
His mother, Hestia, was a worker in a textile factory, and she only earned 2,000 federal dollars a month.
This money could only be used for daily living expenses and to pay for Mike’s tuition.
Otherwise, Linda would not have been carried home by her mother after her injury. Instead, she would have been taken to the hospital.
In other words, this 10,000 federal dollars was raised for Mike by his sister, Linda, one egg at a time on the street.
How many eggs would it take to raise 10,000 federal dollars?
No wonder his sensible sister always asked for pocket money not long ago. No wonder she said she wanted to give him a surprise.
It turned out that everything was for him.
At this moment, Mike felt that he was really too insensible.
It turned out that he had always been under the protection of his family.
At this time, seeing Mike take the Pet Beast Egg, Linda smiled and fainted.
Seeing this, he did not even think and directly transferred Mana to Linda to cure her.
The venom of the Poisonous Wasp Queen was not fatal, but it was extremely difficult to eradicate.
However, for Mike who had the Fire Affinity, this was not a big problem at all.
This was because he could control the Fire Element and directly destroy the venom.
He also dissolved the blood clots on her arm.
Soon, with Mike’s help, Linda opened her eyes.
The first thing Linda said when she opened her eyes was to urge Mike to sign the contract with the Pet Beast.
“Brother, quickly sign the contract with it. I’m worried that the bad guy will come and snatch it again.”
Bad guy?!
Hearing this, Mike smiled.
However, his heart was like a volcano that was about to erupt!
In order to not let Linda and Hestia worry, Mike said gently, “Linda, tell brother, who is the bad guy?”
Seeing his expression, Linda did not know why, but she felt inexplicably safe.
Soon, she told Mike what happened that day.
Mike became angrier the more he heard.
He heard that Linda was hit. Not only did that bastard did not compensate, didn’t apologize, but also dared to say harsh words!
Damn the Bloodfang Mercenary Group!
‘They actually dared to hurt my sister?!’
There was also the Poisonous Wasp Queen’s venom. In other words, the Poisonous Wasps were also brought here by those bastards!
Thinking of this, Mike could not wait to bring the Green-Eyed White Dragon and charge over immediately.
Even if the Green-Eyed White Dragon was resting, with Mike’s current strength, he would be able to go against them.
However, Mike soon calmed down.
It was easy to solve the Bloodfang Mercenary Group. The problem was what to do after solving it.
After all, who knew how many hidden forces they had?
If one day he was not at home, his sister and mother might be in a great threat.
No, this time he had to solve the security problem at home!
At the moment, he already had a lot of money, and he could bring his family to a better city to settle down.
However, safety was not something that could be solved in another place.
Thinking of this, Mike immediately thought of the token that Edward had given him.
After all, if he could really graduate from the Star Military Academy.
Then the safety of his family would be guaranteed.
As for Hestia, if she would not allow it, then it was fine as long as he did not tell her.
It would not be too late to tell his mother after he graduated in four years.
At the thought of this, Mike’s heart became firm.
He hurriedly walked to the door and dialed Edward’s number.
Very soon, the call went through.
“Hello, Second Lieutenant Edward. I would like to ask if becoming the Star Military Academy can guarantee the safety of the family members?”
“Of course. As long as any student enters the Star Military Academy, will they be able to receive the protection of the Southwest Zone’s Federal Military during their study period? Regarding this question, I can use the name of the Academy to guarantee this.”
“Little Friend Mike, did something happen to you? If it’s possible, you can tell me.”
After thinking for a while, this matter was not a big deal.
Mike also told Edward about this matter.
“What? The Bloodfang Mercenary Group actually did such a thing?!”
“Little Friend Mike, I’ll be right there. Let me handle this matter. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”
After hanging up the phone, Edward’s eyes were full of anger.
However, an old man with white eyebrows and white hair beside him became puzzled.
“Edward, what made you so angry?”
“This… Teacher, it’s like this…” Edward quickly told the other party the situation.
“What? Such a thing actually happened in Star City?! Hurry up and lead the way. I’ll go with you.”
Hearing this, Edward was shocked.
He did not expect that Mike’s matter would actually cause the old principal to personally go over there.
However, when he thought of the old principal’s goal, everything was explained.
