Zhegu kicked Gaia hard in the chest. With a crack, his sternum broke. Two centaurs dragged his swaying body, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"You don't seem convinced!" Zhegu laughed, and the crowd behind him became excited.

Gaia took a deep breath and stared calmly at Lavitan. "What do you want? To kill me?"

Lavitan looked at Gaia and smiled. "Oh, so brave. I'm a law-abiding, model sergeant, an idol, a hero. What are you talking about? This is blatant slander. Break both his legs!"

The two centaurs immediately acted, their heavy hooves taking turns kicking Gaia's legs. After a few blows, accompanied by cracking sounds, Gaia's legs were broken. Gaia was thrown to the ground. Lavitan slowly squatted down and grabbed Gaia's hair.

"Gaia, this is Hausen's first and last warning to you. Either get out of the Tribunal, or stay put obediently. If I see you in the Sacred Hall, doing missions, or even one more rank increase, you'll be crawling for the rest of your life!" Lavitan patted Gaia's head. "One more small thing. Tell that Li Hao in your ring that Hausen wants to see him. Tell him to take the initiative to pay a visit. The kid's in luck."

The moment he released his head, he kicked him. Gaia spun and flew out, slamming heavily against the wall of the training room. None of the Celestials or other warriors watching dared to say a word.

Lavitan spat. He wouldn't kill him. He wasn't an idiot. Lastaya's dream of joining the Council of Elders was just that, a dream. Not only in the Tribunal, but no child of Lastaya would have an easy time.

Demarcus, with his long face, glanced at Gaia, who was lying on the ground and had given up struggling, and smiled. This guy was quite smart. Since arriving at the Tribunal, he had kept a low profile, fooling around with native girls and hanging out with a bunch of lower civilizations. Why was he suddenly working so hard?

After Gaia was carried away, Lavitan and the others went to the training room next door. Hausen was training. The reason he was so angry was that he had run into Gaia.

"Brother Hausen, it's settled. This kid will never dare to be arrogant again. I'll have Li Hao come to see you," Lavitan said.

Hausen nodded. These were just minor matters. "De Falandis is not easy to deal with. He has been constantly trying to win over Hermia. There is nothing I can do to meet her privately. Do you have any good ideas?"

"I bribed a servant. Princess Hermia prays in the Hall of Heroes all year round. She doesn't see many people, only Helena, Losrick, and the High Priest. Recently, there's been a Dragon Girl, Ning Long. A princess growing up like that is like a delicate porcelain doll, blank and flawless. De Falandis is taking Ning Long's route," Lavitan said. "Who would have thought that the Dragon Girl likes this kind of sissy and doesn't like our Ozier's tough guys."

They had been in the Tribunal for some time, but they couldn't get in touch with Hermia except in public. De Falandis had only been here for a little over a year, but he had met Hermia several times through Ning Long.

"We have to deal with him and let him know his place." Of course, Hausen knew that De Falandis was not to be trifled with, but if this guy violated his core interests, he still had to be warned. This guy was also useless, but if he had the opportunity to contact Hermia, he would let the pure white little princess know what a real man tasted like, once and for all.

Li Hao, returning happily, saw Kuta treating Gaia and a righteously indignant Gasmi.

Li Hao's eyes swept over them. Gaia was in a bad state. Although he had been treated at the hospital, he looked like he needed some time to recover. "What's the situation?"

Gaia waved his hand. "It's nothing. They were a little heavy-handed during training. I've already been treated. It's all external injuries. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

The medical system of the Tribunal's Sacred Hall was naturally top-notch. After Hausen and the others left, the staff sent Gaia to the hospital. After treating him for most of the day, Kuta and Gasmi picked him up. Kuta added soul healing, because if the body was injured, the soul would definitely be damaged as well.

"Three ribs broken, both legs broken," Kuta said. "Why didn't you resist!"

Kuta was furious, and there were more wrinkles on his face. In his world, such things didn't happen. As long as he didn't bully others, no one would provoke the golden Kuta, so he was surrounded by good people.

Gaia waved his hand and smiled wryly. "It's a small matter. It's not the first time. There are too many of them. The more I resist, the more serious the injuries will be."

Gaia was still very discerning. He knew that a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. It would be over if he resisted in that situation. It was better to rest for a few days than to lie down for a few months or even suffer some hidden injuries. Lavitan couldn't wait for him to attack, then it would become a brawl, and he would definitely beat him half to death.

Kuta was as angry as a big frog. Listening to Gaia's understated words, his brain was smoking just thinking about it. "It's obvious bullying!"

Gasmi didn't feel anything. In the Zerg, it was common for the weak to be beaten, but every civilization had its own characteristics. If Kuta, who valued face, was bullied like this, it would never end. Of course, this was also because he was Kuta and had the capital.

Li Hao put his hand on Gaia's body. Gaia, who was naked from the waist up, was covered in various scars. It was obvious that he was not some纨绔子弟 (wán kù zǐ dì, pampered son of a powerful family). Li Hao smiled. "It's okay. Nothing serious."

"Damn, Brother Li, this is okay? A dozen people beat him up and put a gravity limiter on him. If this were in the Sacred Hall of the Atlanteans, this kind of person would definitely be expelled. It's too barbaric!" Kuta said indignantly. "The Tribunal is also a high-level Sacred Hall of the Celestials. How can it allow such things to happen?"

Gaia was calm because he had experienced too much. The struggles of the Ozier Empire's aristocracy were very fierce, unlike the orderly and stable traditions of the Atlanteans. For the Zerg, it was commonplace. For Li Hao, a man who came from the battlefield, these injuries and face-saving issues were nothing. If he was going to fight, it wasn't to vent his anger, but because he was an enemy, and he had to be killed.

"Gaia's judgment is correct. In that situation, you must endure it. Revenge is definitely necessary, but you can't mess around. You have to wait for an opportunity," Li Hao said.

"Humph, I don't care anymore. I'm so angry. I can't beat them, but if I can spend money to vent my anger, just ask me!" Kuta puffed out his cheeks and left. After coming to the Tribunal, he really liked these brothers he had met, and he knew that he couldn't beat Hausen, nor could he use the Golden Can to put pressure on them for no reason. Not to mention that the other party's 磨骨 (mó gǔ, bone grinder, a tough person) was not afraid at all, even if he was afraid, he would think he was stupid, and the family would not support him. But because he understood, he felt even worse.

Gaia was much more mature than Kuta. He naturally knew that Kuta's emotions were because he cared. "Thank you, everyone. I'm fine. Although I was beaten up, I'm in a good mood. They can only go this far. I've been worried all this time, and it's annoying, haha."

It was said to be because of Gaia and Hausen's sister, but they would probably find a reason even if there wasn't one.

"By the way, Brother Li, Lavitan said that Hausen wants to see you, probably because you've climbed the Heavenly Stairway and wants to win you over. You don't have to worry about me. If you want to stay in the Tribunal, you always need a backer," Gaia said.

Li Hao was dumbfounded. "I was a little conflicted whether it was De Falandis or Hausen, but it seems like this guy is out of luck. I know what to do."

Gasmi carried Gaia back to his room. The atmosphere in Ring 207 was particularly depressing that night.

"Sister~~~, isn't this bullying? You're the most capable, help us!" Kuta, in the room, couldn't let it go. Although he usually didn't like her, he knew that Olivia was capable.

Olivia was expressionless. "Kuta, be more mature. This is the competition for internal power transfer in Ozier. It's the same with whoever it is. Don't interfere. Besides, it's just a little injury. It'll be fine after treatment. What do you want to do?"

Kuta jumped up from the bed in anger. "What do you mean, it'll be fine after treatment? If I were beaten like this..."

"Hehe, then I'd destroy their entire family. No one would dare to touch you!" Olivia interrupted Kuta indifferently. "But if we stick our necks out, do you think Hausen will be afraid? There's no reason for it. Don't even think about it."

"Then what should we do? Just let it go? Then Gaia will be finished. He can't train, he can't accept missions. Is he going to retire in the Tribunal's Sacred Hall?" Kuta said, a little discouraged.

"The reason I let you come here is to let you understand that this world is full of injustice. Only strong power and wealth can maintain the family's eternity. You have to grow!" Olivia said indifferently. This brother of hers was also a weirdo. How could he inherit the family with so much emotional involvement?

"Sister, I'm in a bad mood right now. Can we talk about this at another time? What if Gaia is beaten for no reason again?" Kuta also knew that there was nothing they could do. "What if it happens in front of me one day? I can't stand it."

Olivia pursed her delicate little mouth. "Let me think. Tell him not to run around lately. What's going on with that Li Hao? How did he climb the Heavenly Stairway?"

Finally, Olivia couldn't help but ask. Kuta was deliberately not saying it, not mentioning it. At this time, his little face was almost taking off with smugness, but on the surface, he was still calm. "It's a small matter. Is my boss an ordinary person? It's just routine operations."

Olivia was speechless. "Kuta, you are the heir to the Golden Can. Use your brain. He's just a human. This is his limit."

"What if it isn't? What if he surpasses you one day, or even Hausen?" Kuta said stubbornly.

"Hehe, Kuta, don't fantasize all day long. If that day comes, I'll recognize him as my boss!" Olivia said proudly. "Behave yourself lately. This is not Hellas. Our brand is not as omnipotent as you think!"

At this time, a large StarNet projection gathering site, Dupuya, stood in the center. Damn, he had never been so glorious in his life. Surrounded by Asachiryū, Ophelia, Robbie, Maxis, Basta, Yan Peng, Yatong, and a bunch of others from the Apocalypse, nearly a hundred people. A small portion were brothers who came out of the Kepler War, extremely reliable and required at least three Apocalypse recommenders to enter. Everyone was listening very seriously to Dupuya tell a story.

"Dupuya, were you confused by the Orc Hammer? How is that possible!" Robbie was the first to jump out. After entering the Star River, they were even clearer that gods did not exist. Their fantasies were just interference from higher civilizations.

And Li Hao's ability was too exaggerated.

"Haha, Robbie, don't be jealous. I told you a long time ago, Second Brother trusts me the most. Besides, Perkins, Vega, and Taichen can all testify for me. Would I joke about my own little life?" Dupuya laughed, and he had a taste of returning home in glory. He never thought that he, the Apocalypse caboose, would have this day. Second Brother was the best.

Everyone looked at each other, which made them lose their ability to judge. The key was that they had also watched Li Hao's Sacred Hall Conquest.

"Perkins, Dupuya exaggerates. Are you sure?" Asachiryū asked.

Perkins smiled wryly and nodded. "I risked my life to open my Celestial Eye, and this bootlicker opened it casually, and it was incredibly powerful. That was not a power that ordinary people could possess."

The people present were silent and shocked. Dupuya's strength was actually behind. His talent was limited. During the S-Match, he had fallen behind a bit. Opening the Celestial Eye was a power that a considerable number of people in the Apocalypse actually possessed, and some even had stronger powers. However, Dupuya's transformation, the ability to instantly become stronger and kill opponents, could be called the power of God. If they could borrow it, could they go to the next level?

And Li Hao, who controlled this power… what level had he reached?

(I should be able to do five more chapters tomorrow. I feel like giving up the idea of going out to play. Concentration really does make a difference.)
