"Everybody, relax. I will handle this." Roy Clive said with a smile on his face as he waved to the crowd.
He quickly took a glance around and saw how even Luke's friends were in a sorry state. He was inwardly frustrated that things didn't go according to his plan.
But he walked towards Damien and Valentina with a dim smile. However, when he saw Valentina's face clearly, he stopped in his tracks. So did the youngsters behind him.
A heaven-defying beauty…
They all thought the same thing, just as the others. Her impeccably exquisite rosy pink hair and her ruby red eyes made her look even more bewitching and charming. Each of her features was beyond perfection, as if they were painted.
Roy Clive involuntarily gulped and even started dreaming of conquering her. He was now more determined than ever to make her his, even if he had to throw away all his other women.
Even if he was offered all the beauties of the Xeton Empire, he would, without hesitation, refuse them for just Valentina. But of course, he didn't include Reva Xeton as she was also one of his dream women. However, he knew he could only dream about Reva Xeton and do nothing about her as she was the princess of the Xeton Empire whose status was incomparable.
But Valentina's status wasn't as high as Reva Xeton's. He thought Valentina was still in his reach and wanted to conquer her before anyone laid their hands on her.

Luke and his friends were his men who would gladly carry out whatever he asked them to. He had even made them do many dirty jobs for him, but they had no qualms about it as he rewarded them handsomely with women or other things.
He had already tasked some of his men beforehand to suppress the commotion going on in Damien's classroom so that the higher-ups wouldn't notice. He even knew some instructors personally who would gladly turn their heads away and pretend as if nothing was happening.
He already expected a commotion to take place as he had planned everything. But he never thought it would be in this way. It was not the scenario he had imagined in his mind.
And when he came here, he never expected even remotely that Valentina was the one who thrashed all his men.
He didn't even bother about the fact that her cultivation was weaker than Luke and his friends as even he was appalled by the gruesome sight of Luke's body, especially seeing that not even his manhood was spared.
Considering the extensive damage to Luke's family jewels, he doubted if there was any miraculous medicine to heal him. Of course, unless Luke managed to enter the Profound Ethereal Realm somehow, he would be able to regenerate his family jewels slowly.
But not only Roy Clive, but even the dogs in the streets knew Luke would never reach that height. In the Xeton Ethereal Foundation history, only a very small fraction of Elite graduates managed even to touch the Profound Ethereal Realm in their life. And most of the other geniuses would at best be only in the Heaven Ethereal Realm for the rest of their lives.

To almost all the people, they were like gods whom they could only look up to and bow in reverence.
Damien saw Roy Clive walking towards him, and when he saw the azure armband on his arm, he understood that Roy Clive was a third-year student.
The crowd were also whispering to each other,
"Hey, isn't that Senior Brother Roy from one of the most powerful families of our empire?"
"Not only is his family one of the pillars of our empire, but he's also in the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings."
"What is the Eternal Hall of Fame?"
"Ah man, you don't know that? All the Elite disciples have the chance to enter the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings. But they would have to be the best among the best even to get one of the fifty spots available. Once they enter that list and maintain their ranking until they graduate, they would receive one of the most exalted positions in the empire. Their names would also be forever etched in the Eternal Hall of Fame. If you go and look there, you could even see the names of previous geniuses who graduated centuries ago. Especially our powerful headmaster."
"I see, then what's the rank of Senior Brother Roy in that ranking?"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Oh, even having the last rank on the list is something to die for. His ranking is at the 35th position! Of course, this ranking consists of all the Elite disciples no matter which year they are. Even a first-year Elite disciple can enter the rankings if he has an extraordinary talent. Still, of course, that's impossible, and no one ever had entered the rankings in their first year."
"Damn, no wonder I heard from my family how he's a well-known genius."
Roy Clive got out of his daze, turned his head towards his followers, and ordered them, "Quick, get Luke and his friends towards the medical hall. And you, clean up this mess and the walls. I want this whole classroom back to how it was."
He was no fool and knew that Valentina did all this for Damien. He tried his best not to let his face twitch with jealousy.
He couldn't understand how someone so extremely beautiful and powerful would be into Damien so much. If they had known each other for many years, it would seem more plausible. But in his perspective, not even a week had passed after they met each other.
In his eyes, women were only toys he would use for pleasure and to vent his darkest desires. But strangely, seeing Valentina, who was as beautiful as the devil and twice as dangerous, he couldn't think of such thoughts at all. This was more the reason he wanted her.
He put on his best smile as he looked at Valentina, but she punctured his inflated ego by not even glancing at him and instead was looking at Damien and examining whether he was hurt anywhere like a dutiful girlfriend.
He clenched his fists behind him and quickly tried to think of a way he can solve this mess. Because if it was Damien, the one who beat them up, he would only be even happier but unfortunately, the one who did it all was Valentina.
His smile didn't fade as he approached Valentina without even glancing at Damien, "Fairy Valentina, I am Roy Clive of the Clive Family who lords over the eastern region of the Xeton Empire. You don't need to worry about the repercussions. I have told my friends to clean up this place, and I am sure I can convince the instructors that this all happened because of a misunderstanding."
Despite how he stressed the part where his family had power over the whole eastern region of the empire, Valentina still didn't look at his face and curtly replied, "I don't care."
His lips twitched, seeing her indifference. He was the elite genius of the Clive Family, one of the top five families in the Xeton Empire. When did anyone not care to give him face?
Not even the imperial family would ignore him rudely in public.
Damien chuckled as he looked at Roy Clive with a mocking smile. He knew for what exactly Roy Clive was here, and considering the timing at which he had shown up, he speculated that Roy Clive was somehow behind all this.
"Dude, if you don't want to make a fool out of yourself, just get out of the way," Damien said casually.
Hearing his scorn, he furiously stared at Damien, unable to maintain his gentlemanly bearings any longer. He had never in his life been talked to in such a way, especially someone too weaker than him.
He never thought that Damien would have the guts to speak like that to him. He speculated that the only reason Damien thrashed his younger brother was because of ignorance of the power his family had in the Xeton Empire.
He was sure Damien would have known by now how powerful his family was, especially after he said it himself before him.
However, before he could say anything, he felt intense killing intent from Valentina, making his blood go cold.
Damien smirked and put his hand over Valentina's shoulders, "Come, Valentina. We don't need to waste our time in front of clowns."
