Chapter 822: Chapter 822: The Furious Heijii_1

"Chapter 822

Her heart constricted sharply, then she incredulously closed her eyes and focused her attention on listening, but she couldn’t hear the distant sounds anymore.

Her sense of smell was gone, and her hearing followed suit.

She panicked a little, pondering over matters the entire afternoon.

By evening, someone came over to untie her ropes.

She landed heavily.

Heijii caught her in time.

A man from Cold Lizard spoke, "Master Boone said you can escape the death penalty, but not a lesser punishment. As a penalty, you’re to clean the Desolate Valley for a week, starting now!"

Heijii protested, "This is too much! She hasn’t had a single drop of water today, yet you want her to work?!"

The man retorted, "What, you want to go with her?"

"If I have to, I’ll bear it for her!" Heijii defied.

The two exchanged a glance, then burst out laughing, "Stop kidding yourself, young man, Master Boone isn’t as merciful to men as he is to women. Or perhaps, you didn’t think the hanging this morning lasted long enough? I can satisfy you right now."

He swiveled the rope in his hand.

Chloe Collins shoved Heijii aside and strode toward the Desolate Valley.

As Heijii prepared to follow, he was held back by Old Dong.

"Your presence will only worsen the situation."

Heijii shook off Old Dong’s hand, "When she was hanged this morning, you said the issue wouldn’t have been over if she wasn’t hanged. So, is it over now? Is it?"

Old Dong was left speechless by his questioning.

Heijii pressed, "She’s just a minor. How could you bear to watch her getting bullied when you are much older than her?"

Old Dong, helpless and angry, decided, "I’ll go with you."

The followers of Cold Lizard suddenly applauded and slapped hands.

Both turned back, glaring at them.

All they heard from them was, "If you wish to go, ask for your team leader’s permission. Anyway, we won’t oppose having one more person to clean the Desolate Valley. Ha-ha-ha..."

"F*ck off!"

Cursing, Heijii rushed after Chloe Collins.

However, Old Dong stayed behind and looked at Polita, "Go inform the team leader and help us ask for leave."

Even though the newcomer didn’t qualify to undertake tasks, they couldn’t slack off in normal times.

Nor could they ditch class without reason.

Every class mattered for their evaluation.

The comparisons of overall evaluations among groups, if lagging, the punishment would directly fall on the team leader.

Thus, under normal circumstances, the team leader wouldn’t agree to newcomers ditching class without a valid reason.

Chloe Collins walked slowly toward the Desolate Valley.

The Desolate Valley wasn’t a wilderness.

It was part of the Evaluation Arena; anyone who passed this test was guaranteed a minimum rating of S level.

The S level was further subdivided into 123 grades.

In this Dark Alliance, very few reached the S level, and even fewer made it to S3.

So, as there weren’t many people who qualified to go there, it was called the Desolate Valley.

With the pass given by Cold Lizard’s followers, she slowly made her way there.

Her face no longer showed evident anger, nor uncontrolled emotion.

Like her mask, her face was impassive.

She suddenly understood that the dignity of a person was earned by oneself, not given by others.

Instead of crying and making a fuss, it’s better to make oneself stronger.

Heijii rushed in front of her and took her pass.

"Old Dong will take you to the infirmary later. You need your throat and nose checked. Go," He said, facing her back as he slowly walked forward, leaving her behind with these words.
