"Ladies and gentlemen, we've run into this situation, it's just bad luck. They aren't asking for much, why don't we just accept it?"
"Each of us chips in two thousand, and it can be considered as paying to avert disaster."
"Otherwise, if we get beaten, the medical expenses might cost more than two thousand."
At this moment, the old principal smacked his lips and actually started urging everyone to take out their money.
Not only that, he set an example by first taking out two thousand from his pocket and handing it over to the robbers.
"You old man, you really know how to adapt to the situation."
"The rest of you, hurry up and shell out the money, I'm not in the mood to waste time with you here."
Scarface took the money and said smugly, then turned his gaze to the others.
Seeing that the principal had resigned to the situation, no matter how reluctant they were, they all ended up handing over the money.
Even if a few people occasionally didn't have that much money on them, the old principal covered for them all, to be repaid later.
"You little brat, what are you looking at?"
"It's your turn, hurry up and take out the money, otherwise my knife won't be happy."
Scarface patted Zhao Tienan's shoulder, saying with a smug grin.
"You bastard, get lost."
"I might have lots of money, but not a single cent is prepared for you. Do you really think you have what it takes to get money out of me?"
Zhao Tienan shot up to his feet. He was a full head taller than Scarface, his presence immediately overwhelming him.
He wasn't someone who could be easily bullied. Even if the other side had more people, he didn't care at all.
After all, he had seen village thugs before, and he could take down a bunch on his own.
"No, Doctor Zhao, don't be impulsive."
"You are the doctor I brought along, you absolutely cannot be made to pay. Here, I'll pay for you, but please don't get into a conflict with these people, what if someone else gets hurt?"
The old principal quickly intervened to calm the situation, transferring another two thousand via his phone, finally quelling the confrontation.
"Wow, this young lady is quite something. I've never seen such a pretty woman around these parts."
"I must have her today..."
Scarface, having taken the money, suddenly noticed Li Wanqing curled up in the corner. He even extended his knife, gently undoing a button on her collar.
In an instant, her fair and delicate skin was exposed, making Scarface swallow heavily on the spot.
"You beast, what do you think you're doing?"
"I've already given you the money, you can't lay a finger on any of the teachers here."
"I'm telling you, every single person here is my limit. If you dare touch a hair on them, I'll fight you to the end."
Suddenly, the old principal shouted, filled with righteous indignation.
Even though he was already in his sixties, his demeanor was still quite imposing at the moment.
"Oh, old man, you want to fight me."
"Fine, I'll give you a chance. Let's have a one-on-one. If you can beat me, I'll spare the woman and let you all pass safely."
"But if you lose, you have to lick the mud off each of our shoes. Do you dare agree?"
Scarface licked his lips, speaking with great arrogance.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Get off the bus, one-on-one!"
The old principal showed great bravado, not at all as weak and easily bullied as he appeared when he handed over the money earlier.
It seemed he truly was a responsible principal; when his people were threatened, he was willing to stand up for them.
