93: Chapter 93 Fortune Lies in Peril

"Right! What's the point of only 'cherishing' Yu Xiaogang? If we're going to 'cherish' someone, we should do the whole set! Isn't Flender trying to promote it? Let's make his Shrek Academy the laughingstock of Soto City!"

"And that Zhao Wuji, in the original work, he relied on being a Spirit Saint to bully the few girls who had just enrolled. It makes me angry just looking at him; it's perfect to take care of him too!"

"Let's do it! We'll find Bu Le and his two companions! Those three are best at this kind of underhanded work; they do whatever you pay them for. They'll definitely turn those Shrek teachers' lives upside down!"

The group agreed instantly, pooled a large sum of gold coins on the spot, and marched imposingly toward the casino that Bu Le and his companions frequented.

Meanwhile, in a private room at the casino, the trio of Bu Le were staring at a table full of gold coins, grinning from ear to ear.

Over the past few days, by tormenting Yu Xiaogang, they had made a fortune—more than what they had earned from their scams over the last half year. They had been living quite comfortably.

"Big Brother, you have to admit, this money is just too easy to earn!"

E Kao counted the gold coins, his eyes squinting into slits as he smiled: "It's only been a few days, and we've already earned nearly one thousand gold coins! I wouldn't have dared to even dream of this before!"

"That's true."

Bu Le crossed his legs and swirled his wine glass smugly: "The three of us are popular figures in Soto City now. Anyone who wants something done has to line up to see us!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the private room was pushed open. Lin Feng, who had sought them out before, walked in with seven or eight Transmigrators. The bearded man leading them didn't say a word; he simply placed a heavy wooden box on the table and opened the lid. It was packed full of gold coins, dazzling everyone's eyes.

The trio of Bu Le straightened up instantly, their eyes locked on the money.

"Bosses, this is... do you have more business for us three?"

Bu Le quickly stood up, rubbing his hands together with a fawning smile on his face.

"That's right."

Lin Feng crossed his arms and got straight to the point: "It's the same old job—help us 'cherish' a few people. This time, the targets are the teachers of Shrek Academy: Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the other teachers. We want every single one of them put through the wringer."

As soon as those words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of Bu Le's trio instantly froze.

E Kao swallowed hard and spoke cautiously: "Bosses, Shrek's teachers? Flender and Zhao Wuji are Spirit Saints! We three are only Spirit Ancestors and Spirit Kings. If we run into them head-on, isn't that just asking for death?"

"Who told you to confront them head-on?"

The bearded man scoffed and pointed at the gold coins in the box: "What we want you to do is your usual line of work—underhanded tricks, dirty tactics, ambushing them in sacks, smearing their reputations, whatever is most disgusting. You don't need to fight them. As long as you can ruin their reputations so they can't stay in Soto City, this whole box of gold coins is yours. There will be a generous reward after the job is done."

The trio of Bu Le looked at the chest full of gold coins, their breathing becoming rapid.

So what if they are Spirit Saints? They don't have to fight them head-on. Their specialty is exactly this kind of sneaky, underhanded, and malicious business.

Flender and Zhao Wuji might be powerful, but they can't be on guard every single moment, right? As long as they find the right opportunity, there are plenty of ways to torment them.

Only a fool wouldn't take such easy money! 'Cherishing' Yu Xiaogang once is 'cherishing', and 'cherishing' Shrek once is also 'cherishing'!

It's just a few more people, right?

Bu Le gritted his teeth, slapped the table, and laughed loudly: "We'll do it! Don't worry, bosses! It's just a few Shrek teachers, right? We three guarantee we'll handle it clearly for you! We guarantee they won't be able to hold their heads up in Soto City, and they won't even be able to keep the academy running!"

"Exactly!"

Tian Ya also patted his chest: "Whatever Spirit Saint or Spirit Emperor they are, the three of us have plenty of ways to torment them! We'll ensure they live in constant fear whenever they leave the house and can't even sleep peacefully!"

Lin Feng and his group watched them patting their chests in assurance, nodded in satisfaction, left half a box as a deposit, and turned to leave the private room.

Watching their retreating figures, E Kao leaned over to Bu Le, feeling somewhat uneasy: "Big Brother, those are Spirit Saints. Are we really going to 'cherish' them? If we get caught, we're dead."

"What are you afraid of?"

Bu Le spat on the ground, his eyes filled with greedy light: "Wealth is found in danger! With this much money, it's enough for the three of us to live in luxury for several years! We aren't going to fight him head-on; we'll use underhanded tactics. Can he even catch us?"

He paused, a lecherous calculation flashing in his eyes: "Let's start with Flender and Yu Xiaogang first. These two are the easiest to manipulate. Let's create some commotion by 'cherishing' them first to satisfy the bosses."

"As for Zhao Wuji, we'll take our time. There are plenty of dirty tricks waiting for him!"

E Kao and Tian Ya exchanged glances and nodded, greed igniting in their eyes as well.

The three gathered around the table, staring at the chest full of gold coins, already starting to ponder what kind of dirty tricks they should use to torment those teachers from Shrek.

Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy, Flender was standing in the courtyard, listening to his subordinates report on the promotion situation. Hearing that Shrek Academy was being discussed everywhere in Soto City, his face was full of smug smiles.

Yu Xiaogang was also sitting nearby, holding the freshly organized manuscript on externalized spirit research, his eyes full of anticipation, just waiting for the child named Luoluoke to come knocking.

Neither of them expected that a malicious scheme targeting the entire Shrek Academy had already quietly cast its net.

Even less did they expect that this farce, started by Yu Xiaogang, would ultimately drag the entire Shrek Academy into becoming the biggest laughingstock in Soto City.

In the inn by the river, the trio of Gui Mengguan listened to the information reported back by their subordinates—that a group of Transmigrators had pooled money to hire the Bu Le trio, intending to 'cherish' the teachers of Shrek as well—and couldn't help but laugh.

"This group of people is really addicted to playing this game."

Qiangu Jue laughed until he was doubled over: "It was originally just to torment Yu Xiaogang, but now they want to wipe out the entire Shrek in one go."

"As expected."

Gui Mengguan held his teacup and spoke calmly: "In the original work, Shrek was already quite controversial, and Flender's school management model was criticized by many. Now that they have actively jumped out to create hype, naturally, some people are unhappy with it and are just taking advantage of the situation."

Oupai nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine too. With them making trouble in the front, we can just sit back and watch the tigers fight, and by the way, see if this Shrek Academy can still soar to the sky relying on Tang San in this chaotic plot."

The three exchanged glances, seeing amusement in each other's eyes.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, and the hustle and bustle of Soto City drifted in through the window lattice; it remained as lively as ever.

But everyone knew that beneath this liveliness, a storm targeting Shrek Academy was already brewing and was about to sweep in.
