CHAPTER 497: 497: MADAM, AREN’T YOU BEING A BIT TOO FIERCE?

These words were spoken.

The driver himself found it somewhat unbelievable.

He was a driver of the first class, dedicated to driving for the Earl.

Yet he had never seen anyone dare to stop the Earl’s car...

And with such a method.

After all, the Devil King’s reputation was renowned, and his prestige was high.

Even the trainees in the group would feel afraid...

"Who."

Li Yan lazily lifted his eyelids, but clearly didn’t take this matter to heart.

"Don’t know, probably not from our Academy..."

A vice squad leader hurriedly chimed in, but his eyes had already tentatively glanced forward.

In front of the car, a man also wore an Academy Uniform, ironed to perfection without a single crease.

He stood with his back to them, making it difficult to discern his expression and face.

The man’s body began to turn, his side facing them first.

The vice squad leader immediately saw the medal on the man’s shoulder and exclaimed, "Duke..."

The person inexplicably blocking their car.

Was actually of the Duke rank...

It was simply unbelievable...

He looked not much older...

Probably just a few years older than the Earl...

But his rank was already two levels higher...

"Damn..."

Just as the vice squad leader’s voice fell, a curse was heard inside the car.

Gu Tong’s eyes were wide, staring incredulously at the man in front of the car.

Her fingers trembled, pointing ahead, saying: "Stop for what? Run him over!"

Vice squad leader: "Huh???"

Driver: "???"

"Don’t worry about the person in front! Just drive! Run him over! If anything happens, it’s on me!"

Gu Tong’s voice was a bit urgent.

But the vice squad leader and driver were dumbfounded...

Was their lady a bit too fierce...

Asking them to drive over a person???

The man was a Duke, after all...

"Earl..."

The vice squad leader looked a bit pleadingly at his Earl.

This...

They couldn’t stop their lady...

Only you, my lord, could intervene...

Li Yan glanced at the small woman beside him who was urging them to drive, pressing his palm on her head with a slight force, gently saying, "Stop it!"

After saying that, his hand withdrew, and the other hand pulled open the car door, his long leg stepping out onto the asphalt road.

The man opposite watched his actions, but his expression was indifferent and unfeeling, as if looking at a stranger.

Clearly, he was the one who stopped the car!

Yet he acted with such unfamiliarity!

The feeling was somewhat strange...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yan finally walked up close.

His thin lips slightly moved, saying: "Chief, long time no see!"

The man opposite had a pair of deep black eyes, seemingly able to see through everything.

He glanced up and down at Li Yan.

His handsome face finally showed a slight expression, saying: "Yes, long time no see!"

The man exuded a natural and carefree aura, clearly a trainee who had long lived in the Academy.

At this moment, his eyes were focused on Li Yan―――

"Last time we met, you were still a new trainee, now you’ve become an Earl so quickly! Quite an achievement."

Li Yan responded with a slight curl of his lips.

His emotions were calm, saying: "I was lucky to be favored by Elder Prince Gu, whose mentorship and guidance have taught me many things."

"Hahaha..."

A hearty laugh came from the man’s mouth.

"Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined, not necessarily a good thing!"

Such a plain statement, yet it was laden with hidden meaning!
