Link ignored Jasmine’s sarcastic remarks.

Having witnessed and personally experienced all kinds of strange phenomena during the information explosion era, Link knew that in the face of such public opinion offensive, he needed either an authoritative person or organization to debunk the rumors, or to ignore them completely.

For an authoritative figure or organization to debunk rumors, they must be reputable and reliable, and provide substantial and credible evidence to prove “so-and-so did not secretly film anything”.

Occurrences such as these are common.

Many times, even authoritative debunking is useless.

Debunking is one thing, if people don’t believe it, what can you do?

The rumors will still spread, and even more fiercely.

Link couldn’t find anyone or any organization that could provide authoritative debunking for him, and even if he did, he wouldn’t want to seek them out.

Those who like to spread baseless rumors,

he simply chose to ignore, with indifference.

This eight-word motto was how Link dealt with the wave of public opinion attacks.

Even when facing Jasmine’s teasing, it still applies.

Ignoring means ignoring, regardless of what you say.

Jasmine didn’t persist in her futile attempts, she changed the subject and asked about some questions that arose from reading materials and documents yesterday.

Link was happy to answer these questions.

The two chatted and taught each other along the way, and soon they arrived at

the research building.

After passing through two access controls, they changed into lab coats as required before entering the laboratory.

Having completed the prerequisite preparations, they both entered the

Botanical Laboratory.

The whole process was still operated solely by Jasmine, observing, recording, practicing, and recording again.

With experience, Jasmine worked quite skillfully now, and Link wouldn’t need to accompany her for much longer.

When that time comes, Link would have more time to allocate to other matters.

After inspecting the equipment and facilities, they cleaned up and made sure there were no issues before leaving.

Leaving the research building, they headed to the classroom, and started to pass more and more people on the path.

Passing New Bloods, regardless if they were freshmen or from the second, third or fourth year, if they had recently seen related topics about Link Grande on the “forum”, most of them would shoot strange glances.

Curiosity, suspicion, expectation, excitement, contempt, disdain.

All sorts of emotions were present.

Jasmine did not act as before in the cafeteria, laughing and eating, or making sarcastic remarks.

Instead, she held her head up high, her gaze sharp. She stared right back at every eye that met hers and stared sternly at them in return.

This move of hers was undoubtedly a clear response and counterattack.

In such a strange atmosphere, Link and Jasmine entered the classroom.

As soon as the two of them sat down in their usual seats in the second row

center,

Five of their peers immediately gathered around them.

After a night’s rest, the swelling on their faces was gone, their injuries were not serious, only faint bruises remained.

“Boss…”

All five of them spoke in unison, bowing as they did so.

This act, was to truly establish their subordinate relationship in front of

everyone.

If Link was even slightly embarrassed in his response, they could wave Link’s banner and continue to act recklessly.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t acknowledge us, we acknowledge you.

As for why the five brothers still dared to provoke Link?

Because so far, Link had never intentionally targeted or oppressed anyone.

Even when they were looking for trouble last time, they were simply beaten up, not seriously injured, and each of them got two Magic Stones.

If they were provoked, even if they didn’t dare to break the opponent’s leg, they would surely retaliate.

Magic Stones?

instead of giving Magic Stones to the opponent, they would even take a copper coin from the opponent!

The good guys should be pointed at with guns.

Upon hearing this, Link took a deep breath, slowly lifted his head, and looked

at the five men.

Link clearly knew what the five gentlemen were up to.

He had already refused them outright last night. And yet they had come again?

Did they think he was a fool?

His gaze had grown indifferent, seemingly withholding a limitless fury within his deep dark eyes.

Ever since he killed Erick with his own hand and a certain cord in his heart snapped, Link’s demeanor had become noticeably colder.

After operating the “Mind Closure Technique” at full strength, the aura radiating from Link suddenly shifted from cold and stiff to cold and severe, even harsh and murderous.

Wisp after wisp of killing intent slowly overflowed from Link’s eyes, directed at the scheming five.

The growth of his spiritual power during this period made his gaze sharper, as if substantive, making his oppressive aura even stronger.

The surrounding air seemed to stagnate palpably.

“Scram!”

Link’s voice was icy cold, he uttered each word, “Don’t think I am unaware of your intentions. If I learn that anyone is using my name to stir up trouble, don’t blame me for being rude.”

The five men, who were about to stand up straight, were seen shaking uncontrollably and sweating profusely at Link’s undisguised killing intent.

“Ye…yes, boss!”

The spokesperson among the five replied tremblingly, “I’m sorry, boss! We’ve disturbed you, boss!”

After getting a cold reception and threatened, the five figures turned around and left.

They arrived mystifyingly and left swiftly.

But undoubtedly, the actions of the five men will undoubtedly fuel the already heated public opinion with more fuel.

On their way to the corner seat, the five men began to argue loudly, enabling Link to hear them clearly.

“I told you so! We shouldn’t listen to that man. If the boss says he won’t accept us, he won’t! Why insist on trying again!”

“Who could disagree? That man was secretive and wouldn’t even show his face. He didn’t seem like a good person.”

“Sigh! It’s all my fault. I was blinded by the prospect of gain and caused everyone to upset the boss.”

“What can we do now? Where can we find another backer?

“Shall we go back to the ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association ?

“Damn! You still consider yourself a man? Only a dog would go back!”

“Woof Woof-”

Link pondered upon hearing this.

It seemed that the five men were indeed hell-bent on pursuing their style of dealing with people.

They appeared crazy and silly, always embarrassing themselves, but in reality, they were very astute and not stupid at all.

They could seize the opportunity, catch a toad to squeeze out urine, and also make timely reparations to avoid real disasters for themselves.

Last night and this morning, they probed twice.

When their probe did not succeed and the anticipated result was not achieved, they immediately provided a subtle hint.

Hey boss, someone is trying to mess with you! They are even using us as pawns!

It has to be said that the five men’s grasp of the degree of advance and retreat was very precise, the murderous intent in Link’s heart slowly subsided.

He had genuinely intended to find an opportunity to kill the five men.

How annoying!

The five men, oblivious to how they danced on the edge of life and death, gradually lowered their voices and ceased their noisy chatter.

At this moment, however, Jasmine nudged Link with her elbow, frowning as if she had encountered a difficulty.

She had been looking at the portable computer ever since the five men arrived.

“What’s wrong?”

Link first put his emotions and killing intent entirely in check before asking softly.

“Mina Havcheck has invited us to meet.”

Jasmine said, “At noon today, in the library. She said she has something very important to tell us.”

What an unexpected and coincidental twist this was..
