Starforce Warriors

Chapter 108: There’s Still Time Before You Regret

Li Xiaofei was a green tea bitch[1].

The reason he appeared so outstanding was because he always relied on comparing himself to his teammates. Moreover, it was Li Xiaofei who made his teammates look weak and pathetic. He repeatedly watched his teammates embarrass themselves and then came up with seemingly miraculous interventions. He used his teammates\' weaknesses to highlight his own strength. So on the surface, he seemed very concerned about his teammates, but in reality, Fang Buyi, Liu Xiao, Ren Dong, and Bai Longfei were just tools Li Xiaofei used.

The video was very professionally made. It took many clips out of context. It even included some biased comments from the commentators, edited into the video. Anyone who had not watched the two rounds of Red Flag High School\'s matches in full would be completely brainwashed by this Proud Golden Eagle after watching the video.

Li Xiaofei\'s popularity on the internet was already very high the day before, but this had only helped the rapid spread of the Proud Golden Eagle video. Moreover, some internet trolls were adding fuel to the fire. As a result, major forums, websites, the Light Wave Weibo, Light Music, Quick Show, and other heavyweight media on the light-network world were flooded with posts condemning Li Xiaofei early in the morning.

The expressions of Fang Buyi and the other three when they walked out of the light core cockpit after being brutally defeated in the first round by Longteng High School were taken out of context and used as evidence of Li Xiaofei\'s exploitation. Although Fang Buyi, Bai Longfei, Ren Dong, and Liu Xiao all immediately came forward to refute the rumors, it had no effect. Their voices were completely ignored. There were hardly any reposts.

On the contrary, quite a few IDs claiming to be students of Red Flag High School emerged and started to diss Li Xiaofei online.

He really is a bully.

A dog from the slums, bullying boys and girls in school, engaging in campus bullying.

My name is Little Ming, a freshman at Red Flag High School. Because I\'m handsome, one time in the restroom, this beast Li Xiaofei... To be honest, his technique is not bad.

I sell stationery near Red Flag High School, affectionately called Stationery Goddess by the students. I was severely beaten because I rejected Li Xiaofei\'s advances. There are pictures as proof.

Can anyone save my sister? Someone saw her being followed by Li Xiaofei after school, and now she\'s been missing for twenty-four hours. Someone saw her clothes in the slums!

I testify that I saw him harassing the cafeteria ladies multiple times.

He\'s a sex maniac.

The school team has changed. Sister Yan got injured, and Li Xiaofei became the team bully.

He\'s ostracizing Sister Yan Chiyu.

Even the teachers dare not speak against him.

These various posts were no longer just technical defamation. They were framing him.

Bai Longfei watched Li Xiaofei\'s expression carefully. He was really worried that Li Xiaofei might spit out blood and faint as he kept reading. But to his surprise, the president did not get angry. Instead, he looked as if he was reading a very entertaining story as he flipped through post after post.

"My evaluation is that there\'s nothing new here," said Li Xiaofei, closing the light core.

"You\'re not angry?" Bai Longfei asked in surprise.

Li Xiaofei replied meaningfully, "You don\'t understand."

He already knew what was going on. When he saw the name Proud Golden Eagle, everything became clear. It was the Golden Eagle Guild! It must have been Zhao Bufan stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

It is not surprising for a streaming guild to control internet trolls. But why did these fools think that such verbal attacks could threaten me?

"Let\'s go to class," Li Xiaofei said calmly.

Bai Longfei looked confused, but he obediently followed Li Xiaofei.

Information continued to ferment and spread as the morning passed. By noon, some so-called protesters even appeared at Red Flag High School’s gates, holding banners and shouting slogans.

"Li Xiaofei, come out and apologize."

"Trash Li Xiaofei, get out of the War God League."

"We boycott Li Xiaofei, cancel his student status."

At least two to three hundred protesters were shouting so loudly that their voices were clear even in the school. There were also some reporters on the scene who were interviewing the protesters. The scene was quite lively. The students eating in the cafeteria were all disturbed. It was too much. The young students were so angry that their faces turned red.

"Xiaofei, why don\'t you go online and explain?" Fang Buyi couldn\'t hold back anymore.

"Y-y-yes, y-y-you shouldn\'t let t-t-them s-slander you," Bai Qiqi stuttered even more when she was anxious.

Li Xiaofei shook his head and said, "You all have spoken out, but did it work?"

Bai Longfei slammed his palm on the table angrily, "Are we just supposed to endure this and let these idiots distort the truth?"

Li Xiaofei replied, "Don\'t worry, wait for the dust to settle a bit."

As he was speaking, everyone suddenly heard a thunderous roar from the school gate.

"What are you barking about?!" A mighty and robust security guard charged out of the security room at the gate.

The protesters tried to argue back. But the security guard didn’t hesitate to raise his titanium alloy baton and charge in. He started to deliver a fierce beating to everyone.

Smack, smack, smack.

A group of protesters were beaten until their heads were bleeding. A few burly men in the crowd tried to fight back, but they couldn’t withstand even a single blow from Grandpa Qin Dewei\'s baton. It didn’t take him long to send the crowd fleeing. The reporters stared at him, dumbfounded.

One brave reporter approached, "Grandpa, aren\'t you afraid of breaking the law by being so harsh?"

Grandpa Qin righteously replied, "These scumbags came to a school and started disrupting our school\'s peace. Beating them is the least they deserve... And you, as a reporter, instead of focusing on real news, you\'re stirring up trouble here. Do you believe I\'ll beat you too?"

The reporters quickly fled too, and the cafeteria erupted in cheers. The students of Red Flag High School felt proud to have such a formidable security guard. Li Xiaofei couldn\'t help but admire Grandpa Qin.

This old man is truly reliable and ready to act when needed.

After lunch, Principal Chen Fei called Li Xiaofei to his office to comfort him and urge him to focus on his studies and cultivation. He assured Li Xiaofei that he would find a way to handle the online issues.

In the afternoon, Li Xiaofei continued to participate in the team’s joint training as if nothing had happened. He then spent time in the light core virtual world hunting star beasts, continuously leveling up.

Principal Chen Fei was absent from the school for the entire afternoon. Near the end of the school day, he returned, visibly angry.

"Don\'t worry, I\'ll get this matter resolved." He reassured Li Xiaofei once again.

It seemed that Chen Fei’s efforts to resolve the issue during the afternoon had been unsuccessful.

"Thank you, Principal," Li Xiaofei respectfully said before riding his modified motorcycle home.

However, several cars blocked his way as soon as he exited the school gate. The window of the lead luxury MPV rolled down slowly. Zhao Bufan, the founder of the Golden Eagle Guild, was lounging inside on an aviation seat. He had a cigar in his mouth and looked at Li Xiaofei with a smug expression.

"How does it feel to be cyber-bullied, kid? Now you understand my abilities, don\'t you?" Zhao Bufan sneered, "It\'s not too late to regret it now."
