Chapter 152: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (16)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (16) ༻

Suddenly, the world fell silent.

A severed arm rolled across the ground, the continuous flow of blood showing no indication of stopping. The female student trembled, clasping the severed area with her remaining hand.

Blood seeped through her fingers, her eyes bloodshot as she wrestled to endure the agony.

Until they tormented Emma, the other female students were quite bold. It didn’t take long for their faces to pale with fear.

Sometimes, a single action spoke louder than a hundred words.

When the blood started to gush like a fountain, emitting a warm, metallic stench, even the female students had to admit internally.

Ian Percus was a lunatic.

He was not a commoner, but a noble. Yet, for just slapping a commoner, he had swiftly severed an arm.

This was not something a sane person would do.

Provoking a noble extended beyond the confines of the academy. Often, it could escalate into conflicts between entire families.

Especially considering the female students were only harassing a mere commoner girl.

A daughter of a rural herbalist, had she not been admitted to the academy, these nobles would have been completely indifferent to her life or death.

They couldn’t fathom Ian’s logic in reacting so violently just because they bullied a commoner.

But then, they remembered a few facts they had forgotten.

Firstly, Ian Percus had already offended the princess. So, he likely had no qualms about further conflicts with other noble families.

After all, the downfall of the Percus family was almost certain the moment he dared to touch a member of the Imperial Family.

Secondly, Emma was someone Ian Percus had revived at the expense of over 10,000 gold. Asserting ownership over her wasn’t strange.

However, there were still a few things the female students couldn’t quite understand.
