Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, Scarface suddenly laughed: "Interesting. Looks like we're in for a good show today."

“Scarface, according to our agreement…” Li Hao wanted to seek support.

“An agreement?” Scarface interrupted him. “What agreement? I only recognize the strong. Whoever wins, I will cooperate with.”

Li Hao's expression darkened further. He hadn't expected these people to be so pragmatic.

"Let's do it then." Liu Wenhao stretched his limbs. "Li Hao, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Chapter 1151 Hold on!

"One-on-one," Li Hao said through gritted teeth. "Whoever wins is the boss."

"Okay," Liu Wenhao agreed.

The two men took their stances in the open space. Although Li Hao wasn't as skilled as Liu Wenhao, he wasn't without a foundation in martial arts. Moreover, he had clearly undergone special training recently.

However, the outcome was as expected. Ten minutes later, Li Hao lay on the ground.

"Who's in charge now?" Liu Wenhao asked.

Li Hao clutched his stomach, unable to speak from the pain.

"I give up." He finally admitted defeat.

Scarface clapped his hands: "Brilliant! No wonder you can defeat Chen Gang."

"So, does our cooperation still count?" Liu Wenhao asked him.

“Of course it counts,” Scarface laughed. “But the terms need to be renegotiated.”

"What conditions?"

“It used to be split evenly, now it’s 20/80,” Scarface said. “I get 20%, you get 80%.

Liu Wenhao shook his head: "No need."

"What?" Scarface was stunned.

“I told you I don’t need cooperation,” Liu Wenhao repeated. “I can handle the Second Middle School matter myself.”

Scarface's face darkened: "Kid, are you looking down on us?"

"It's not that I look down on you, it's that I don't need you," Liu Wenhao said calmly. "You can leave now."

"Leave?" Scarface sneered. "Do you think this is your home? You think you can just walk away like that?"

Liu Wenhao understood; these people wanted to take it by force.

"Then there's nothing more to say." Liu Wenhao prepared for battle.

Just then, Zhao Mingxuan appeared with a group of people.

"Liu Wenhao, are you alright?" Zhao Mingxuan asked with concern.

Liu Wenhao looked at the people he brought; they were all classmates from school, but they all seemed to be very good fighters.

"Why are you here?" Liu Wenhao asked.

“I was worried you’d get taken advantage of.” Zhao Mingxuan pushed up his glasses. “Looks like my worries were justified.”

Scarface looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, his expression turning grim: "What do you want?"

"Nothing much, we just wanted to protect our friends," Zhao Mingxuan said with a smile. "You guys are from another school, right? What are you doing here?"

"What's it to you?" Scarface retorted angrily.

“Of course it’s my business.” Zhao Mingxuan took out his phone. “I’ve already called the police, and I believe they’ll be here soon.”

Sure enough, sirens were heard in the distance.

Scarface's expression changed drastically: "Kid, you just wait!"

After saying that, he led his men away in a sorry state.

Li Hao wanted to run after them, but was stopped by several classmates.

“Li Hao, we need to have a serious talk.” Liu Wenhao walked up to him.

"What do you want?" Li Hao asked, somewhat desperately.

“It’s simple,” Liu Wenhao said. “From today onwards, you are my subordinate. If you obey, everything that happened before will be forgiven. If you disobey…”

He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was obvious.

Li Hao knew he had no choice: "I'll obey."

“Very good.” Liu Wenhao nodded in satisfaction. “Then starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of all affairs of the first year of high school, but major decisions must be approved by me.”

"Understood." Li Hao lowered his head.

Watching this scene, Zhao Mingxuan secretly admired him. Liu Wenhao not only possessed martial prowess, but more importantly, he had the aura of a ruler. He knew when to fight and when to back down.

"Let's go, it's time to go back," Liu Wenhao said to everyone.

Back at school, Zhao Mingxuan pulled Liu Wenhao aside: "Why didn't you accept Scarface's offer earlier? A 20/80 split was already very generous."

Chapter 1152: A Figure!

“Because it’s unnecessary,” Liu Wenhao said. “Besides, this kind of cooperation will inevitably run into problems sooner or later.”

"why?"

“Because they are outsiders,” Liu Wenhao explained. “Once you accept their help, it’s like giving up part of the school’s control. It will be very difficult to get rid of them later.”

Zhao Mingxuan nodded; he understood Liu Wenhao's concerns.

"So what do we do next?" Zhao Mingxuan asked. "Scarface and his gang won't let this go."

"We'll meet force with force and water with earth," Liu Wenhao said calmly. "Besides, we're not unprepared."

"What preparation?"

Liu Wenhao smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough."

The next day, news spread throughout the school: Liu Wenhao officially became the leader of the first-year high school class, and Li Hao voluntarily stepped down to make way for him.

This news surprised many, but even more so, it evoked admiration. The fact that Liu Wenhao could make Li Hao willingly admit defeat speaks volumes about his strength.

However, Liu Wenhao knew that the real challenge was yet to come. Scarface and his gang wouldn't give up easily, and the school wouldn't stand idly by.

Sure enough, Chen Gang came to find him in the afternoon.

"I heard it was quite lively last night?" Chen Gang's tone was calm, but Liu Wenhao could sense the threat in it.

"fine.

Liu Wenhao's eyes changed.

It was no longer a fight to prove oneself, but a determination to protect those around them.

Chen Gang keenly sensed this change, and his attack rhythm faltered slightly.

Liu Wenhao seized upon that fleeting opening.

An uppercut struck Chen Gang's jaw, followed by an elbow strike and a knee strike—a series of fluid and seamless punches.

Chen Gang staggered backward, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Impossible!" a student exclaimed.

The stadium was completely silent; everyone held their breath.

The dean of students was actually injured by a student?

Chen Gang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Good lad, truly a promising young man."

"Are you admitting defeat?" Liu Wenhao asked.

"It's not that bad yet." Chen Gang stretched his shoulders. "But I admit I underestimated you."

The two men resumed their stances, and this time Chen Gang abandoned his contempt.

Each of his attacks was carried with the ruthlessness of a soldier, as if he wanted to kill his opponent.

Liu Wenhao didn't dare to be careless either, as he could sense the murderous aura emanating from Chen Gang, which came from the battlefield.

This is completely different from the petty squabbles on campus.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes passed.

Both of them were drenched in sweat, and their movements began to slow down.

In the audience, even breathing could be clearly heard.

"That's enough." Chen Gang suddenly stopped. "You win."

There was an uproar.

Liu Wenhao was also somewhat surprised: "You're not going to continue?"

“There’s no point in continuing.” Chen Gang straightened his clothes. “Your willpower is stronger than I thought. And…” He paused, “I can tell you’re holding back.”

Liu Wenhao did not deny it.

"As agreed, I will no longer interfere in matters between students." After saying this, Chen Gang turned and left the gymnasium.

Looking at his retreating figure, Liu Wenhao knew he had earned the respect of an opponent.

As the crowd began to disperse, Li Hao ran over excitedly: "You really beat Chen Gang! Now who in our school dares to disagree?"

Liu Wenhao did not answer; his gaze searched for that figure in the crowd.

Chapter 1153: Questions!

Lin Xiaoyu stood in the corner, quietly watching him.

Their eyes met, she nodded slightly, and then turned and left.

"What are you looking at?" Li Hao followed his gaze.

"It's nothing." Liu Wenhao looked away. "Let's go, it's time to go back."

The next day, the whole school was talking about what happened the day before.

Liu Wenhao's name spread to every corner, and even senior high school students began to pay attention to this transfer student from the first year of high school.

"What do we do now?" Li Hao asked, his excitement tinged with unease. "I feel like things are getting a little out of control."

Liu Wenhao understood his concerns.

The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; now he has become the target of everyone's criticism.

Sure enough, at lunchtime, an unfamiliar face appeared in the cafeteria.

He was a tall, thin boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He looked refined and gentle, but his gait exuded a cold and sinister aura.

"You're Liu Wenhao?" The boy walked up to him, his voice soft but unusually clear in the noisy cafeteria.

"Who are you?" Liu Wenhao looked up at him.

"My name is Zhao Mingxuan, and I'm the student council president for the senior year." The boy pushed up his glasses. "I'd like to talk to you."

Student council president? Liu Wenhao became interested.

In his mind, student council members were all bookworms who only knew how to talk theory.

"What to talk about?"

"About your future at school," Zhao Mingxuan sat down. "I heard about what happened yesterday; it was quite interesting."

"and then?"

“And that’s where the problem lies.” Zhao Mingxuan smiled, but the smile was unsettling. “Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you defeated Chen Gang?”

Liu Wenhao put down his chopsticks: "What are you trying to say?"

“What I’m trying to say is that the real rules of this school aren’t made by force,” Zhao Mingxuan said softly, “but by intellect.”

"for example?"

“For example, do you know why Chen Gang came to this school?” Zhao Mingxuan asked rhetorically.
