I am a businessman from all over the world, not a profiteer!

This is exactly what Xukong Wanzang wants to see. He also wants to see whether those heroes are just phantoms of the past or disguises of certain people.

If they are really those heroes, then Otto will probably be in big trouble...

Chapter 137 Raiden Mei’s Melancholy.

"My father is a financial fraudster?! Impossible! This must be fake news!"

Mei Raiden looked at the news in her hand and her whole body was trembling, but after realizing that this was a school, she regained her former coolness as the Queen of Raiden.

It must be that the third-party media outlets are trying to attract attention by fabricating this ridiculous news.

"Raiden-san, your father..."

Mei Raiden looked sharply at the girl who spoke, causing the second half of her sentence to get stuck in her throat.

"This ridiculous news is worthless. Besides, with the assets of my Lei Dian family, a mere 34 billion US dollars is nothing."

"Emi, you're such a fool! You actually believe this kind of fake news? Our Queen has spoken, so please stop giving this kind of fake news traffic."

After Her Majesty the Queen spoke, the people around her kept silent, but they were also curious about the news.

As the school bell rang on time, the extremely painful school time for Mei Raiden finally came to an end. As usual, she stood up and said goodbye to everyone with a gentle smile, and everyone also responded with a smile as usual.

Mei Raiden picked up her schoolbag and walked towards the school gate. When she saw the Maybach was not parked on the roadside, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Hmm? Is the butler late today?"

Just as she was about to call to inquire, a student who looked vaguely familiar to Mei Raiden passed by her and said.

"See you tomorrow, Raiden-san!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Mei Raiden smiled and said goodbye to the other party, then called the housekeeper, but no matter how long she called, there was always a busy tone.

"Forget it, let's just walk home today."

After waiting for half an hour, Mei Raiden gave up waiting and walked towards the Raiden house on foot.

"Here's an urgent news story. ME Club President Raiden Ryoma has been arrested and imprisoned by Changkong City police for economic fraud..."

Just as she passed by the big screen in the mall, the news on the radio instantly attracted Mei Raiden. She froze in place as she watched the scene of her father being handcuffed and escorted into a police car by the police.

How could my father do such a thing?

He had always taught himself to act honestly, so how could he possibly do something like fraud?!

This must be fake! Or it must be a frame-up by a competitor!

"Raiden-san? That's your dad, right?"

A familiar voice sounded beside her, causing Mei Raiden to look at a familiar-looking female classmate in the class.

"So that news is true. Tsk, how dare you, the daughter of a fraudster, tell me to shut up? Do you really think you're the queen?"

The other party sprayed venom mercilessly, but Mei Raiden's mind was blank at this moment. She began to suspect that everything in front of her was just a dream.

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Mei Raiden completely ignored her, the female classmate reached out to grab Mei Raiden's hair as if she was embarrassed and angry.

Although Mei Raiden's brain had not yet come to her senses, her instinct from long-term kendo practice still made her automatically counterattack the malice, and she slashed the back of the opponent's right hand with a knife in one hand.

"Woo!"

The intense pain on the back of her hand made the female classmate retract her hand in fear. She glared at Raiden Mei in shock and anger.

“You…!?”

But when she saw Raiden Mei's cold eyes, she instantly swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of her mouth, and fled the scene like a stray dog, even forgetting to pick up the schoolbag that fell on the ground.

The commotion they caused also attracted the attention of passers-by. There was curiosity and malice in their eyes. These gazes made Raiden Mei feel uneasy and she subconsciously fled from here.

But when she returned home, she thought she would be greeted by a maid or a housekeeper, but there was no one in the huge manor, as if everyone had disappeared out of thin air.

"Sebastian? Shelfie?"

Mei Raiden called out the names of the head butler and the head maid in the house, but no one responded. This made her even more uneasy, so she took out her phone again and called everyone in the phone book one by one.

But she called for an hour and a half, but no one answered the phone. Just when Mei Raiden was about to give up, the call was finally connected.

Mei Raiden sorted out her confused thoughts and recalled the information about the other party.

The other person is a manager in my father's company, and his last name seems to be Yasuda?

"Hello, I'm Mei Raiden from the Raiden family. Mr. Yasuda, do you know anything about my father?"

"President Ryoma? Yes, yes, I know something about this."

"Really!?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Mei Raiden's gloomy eyes. At this moment, she was like a drowning person grabbing at the last straw.

"President Ryoma specifically told me to take care of you from now on. He might have foreseen this day. Where are you? Should I send someone to pick you up?"

"I am here……"

Just as Mei Raiden was about to answer, the strange voice in the background of the phone brought her back to her senses, and soon her face turned pale.

That was the sound of someone begging for mercy. The other person was obviously suffering some kind of inhuman torture.

"Mei?"

Hearing Yasuda's voice, Mei Raiden hung up the phone in fear. She realized that this was a scam and her father would never let such a person take care of her.

Because of what she had just experienced, she gave up calling for help and quickly returned to her room, picked up a bunch of keys from the drawer, and then quickly left the manor.

Although the situation is unclear now, her situation is not safe after her father was imprisoned, so she can no longer live in Thunder Manor.

Fortunately, her father owns a lot of real estate in Changkong City, so she can choose a villa with a quieter environment to live in.

At night, Mei Raiden sat on the edge of the bed, her hair still with water droplets. She looked at the broken hair dryer in her hand and sighed helplessly.

"Gu..."

"Are you hungry, Shelfie? I...oh right, they're not here."

Mei Raiden rummaged through the refrigerator in the villa and soon saw many relatively fresh ingredients, so she decided to try cooking!

"Is it enough to just chop the potatoes into pieces? I remember the maids did that."

After Mei Raiden chopped all the ingredients into small pieces with a kitchen knife, she picked up her phone and Googled a simple recipe.

"Then we need to heat the oil in a pan. What temperature should the oil be? And what are the standards for the appropriate amounts?"

Looking at the vague adjectives in the recipe, Mei Raiden's expression gradually froze, and finally she decided to get started!

Finally, a pile of charred black objects appeared on the plate. Mei Raiden poked it with chopsticks, hesitated for a long time, picked it up and put it in her mouth.

The strong bitter taste accompanied by the smell of burnt smoke instantly kidnapped her throat, forcing her to spit out the poison in her mouth under the urging of the desire to survive.

"Ouch... it tastes terrible."

Mei Raiden sat on the ground in frustration. The frustration brought by her first time cooking made her recall her experience today. A strong sense of bitterness surged in her heart, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"dad……"

She covered her face and sobbed softly. She didn't understand why everything became so bad in just one day!

After crying for a while, as if she was tired, Mei Raiden leaned against the cold cupboard, tears in the corners of her eyes, and fell asleep exhausted.

The next day, when she woke up again, it was almost noon. She took out her cell phone to check the time, then quickly got up, washed, and walked towards school.

The gazes of her classmates at school made her feel a little uncomfortable, but when she returned to the class, Mei Raiden adjusted her mood and smiled at everyone.

"Hello, everyone."

But no one in the class was willing to respond to her. Instead, they continued to talk about Raiden Ryoma's imprisonment, as if they were deliberately provoking her.

Mei Raiden's desk was also covered with various obscene words with a marker, and the word "fraudster" occupied most of the desk.

"..."

Mei Raiden walked to the table silently, picked up a handkerchief and started wiping it hard, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wipe off the words.

“Are we going too far?”

"What is this? Isn't she just a liar? Aren't the Lei Dian family all liars? And she broke my hand yesterday!"

"It's really scary. When they can't win an argument, they resort to violence. The father is a fraudster, and the daughter might be a murderer."

"That's right, there's no sympathy for such a person. Look at the bandage on Huimei's hand. Are you biased towards her?"

"I didn't. How could I possibly favor the daughter of a fraudster? I just felt that the atmosphere in the class was weird because of her. It made people feel a little disgusted..."

Listening to the loud voices around her, Mei Raiden lowered her head and a few tears fell on the table.

Anger, sadness, despair, and other negative emotions made Mei Raiden upset, and it seemed as if another voice appeared in her head.

No one noticed that arcs of purple electricity flashed between her hair, and that the purple in her eyes became brighter.

Chapter 138 Raiden Mei: I didn’t mean to spy on you!

"Today we have three new students in our class. Please welcome them with applause."

The class immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause, and everyone's eyes turned to the expressionless, white-haired handsome boy on the stage. Many people even took out their phones to take pictures. Every frame of his picture could be captured as a work of art!

"Tsk...put your phone away!"

Xingyun frowned in displeasure. He didn't have a good face for the bully in the class!

"What a handsome voice!"

"Your Highness, even your angry expression is great~"

Looking at the girls below who had happy expressions on their faces, Xingyun's eyes showed a bit more disgust.

"Hey, could you guys be a little more polite?"

Kiana opened her arms to protect Xingyun. She glared at everyone in the class like a cat protecting its food.

"Alright, keep order and don't give the new student a bad impression. As a boy, he has the privilege of choosing his class freely."

The teacher's speech also brought all the girls back to their senses from their infatuation. They hurriedly pretended to be dignified and elegant young ladies. However, after exposing their ugly behavior just now, no matter how hard they tried, it was of no use.

In this modern society where the male-to-female ratio is 1:100, men naturally have privileges, and the freedom to choose classes is the preferential treatment that Qianyu Academy gives to male students. After all, they are a vulnerable group.

"Then let the new students introduce themselves, starting with the boys."

The head teacher gently pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose. She also had some little thoughts about Xingyun.

"Xingyun."

Xingyun glanced at the teacher, then looked at Mei Raiden, who was in the classroom with her head lowered like a doll. Her desk was darker than that of other students, like the residue of some pigment.

"Xingyun, could you please introduce your hobbies or interests, or perhaps your ideal woman?"

After hearing the head teacher's help, all the girls in the class gave their head teacher a thumbs up in their hearts. This was the information they urgently wanted to know!

"I'm not interested in discussing interests with you guys. As for my ideal woman, I prefer the girl with purple hair. At least she won't look at me with disgusting eyes like you do."

When they heard that Xingyun's favorite person was Raiden Mei, the class instantly became excited and they all started talking bad about Raiden Mei.

"Xingyun, don't be fooled by her appearance! She's the daughter of a con man!"

"That's right, she's a violent person! She even broke my hand! I had to recuperate for a whole month!"

"Student Xingyun, the teacher doesn't recommend you get too close to her. Being with her might affect your future..."

These slanders against Mei Raiden and the complete denial of her personality made Alicia, who originally had a smile on her face, unable to smile at this moment.

Even if Mei Raiden is not a Herrscher, what they did was too much!

They are trying to kill a person with public opinion!

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The red in Xingyun's eyes became deeper and deeper. He glanced around the class and the class instantly became quiet.

"Hmph, it's much quieter now."
