Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Must be Hanged to Serve as a Warning_1

Chapter 820

A stern sentence dispersed the onlooking crowd.

Polita turned around, her gaze filled with concern: "Fu, are you feeling better?"

Chloe Collins simply nodded.

"Oh my, when all is said and done, it’s my fault. I’m the one who caused you harm."

Chloe Collins lightly shook her head.

"You must be hungry, let’s go eat. Heijii said you should be waking up now, he asked me to check on you, and you really are awake now."

The two of them headed towards the canteen.

Everyone in this canteen was under the control of the same Hall Master and they were all newcomers.

It seemed that her story had already spread, so the moment she entered, everyone looked over simultaneously.

Then, a man stood up and waved at them.

This man was the big brother of their group. Older than all of them and already 26 this year, his real name was David Eastwood. Everyone called him Old East, his code name was originally East West, but everyone found it too awkward to call him that, so they just stuck with Old East.

Old East’s figure was blurry in Chloe Collins’s eyes. Only when she got closer could she see him clearly.

Suddenly, she spotted Heijii.

His wrist was also wrapped in gauze.

"What happened to you?"

Captured in her throat, the question remained unvoiced.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, then asked, "What’s wrong with your voice?"

Chloe Collins made a sign language gesture.

Sign language was something everyone had to learn, in case they needed to communicate without speaking during a mission.

Besides learning sign language, they also had to learn lip-reading and a variety of languages.

These theoretical knowledge would also be included in their evaluations.

Everyone had been here for a month now and they learned sign language the quickest. So, after Chloe Collins made that gesture, everyone understood.

"You caught a bad cold and lost your voice?"

She nodded, then used sign language to ask about Heijii’s hand.

"Sit down first."

Old East said, "The days you were missing were terrible for Heijii. First, he was beaten up by the Cold Lizard’s men, then he was hung on the big screen for a day and a night."

Heijii said, "It’s nothing to me, this is all insignificant. Stop looking at me, let’s eat. The food is so good."

Chloe Collins: What happened to the Cold Lizard in the end?

She remembered that before she passed out, an Elder came.

A few people sighed in quick succession.

Old East slowly said, "After you were discovered, he was punished by the Elder, put into confinement for two days. Then, he was let off with a public reprimand."

"However, I heard that they really got into it in their meeting. Cold Lizard lost all his face among his peers, it didn’t go well for him. But in the end, due to his impressive past performances, the higher-ups didn’t actually intend to do anything serious about your cases."

"I heard that the Elder left this morning. For the next week or half a month, this place will be under Cold Lizard’s rule again."

As they spoke, a commotion stirred. Heijii and Old East looked towards Chloe Collins’ back and abruptly stood up.

Just as Chloe Collins started to turn her head, someone pressed down on her shoulder.

"What do you think you’re doing!" Heijii angrily questioned.

"Master Boone ordered. Fu has been acting lawlessly and made a grave mistake. She must be hung up to serve as a warning to others!"

While speaking, they dragged Chloe Collins out.

Heijii and others wanted to stop them, but were surrounded by more Old Men.

"How dare you newcomers challenge your superiors?!" Upon the Team Leader’s reprimand, everyone else dared not move.

Only Heijii couldn’t hold back his anger, veins popping on his forehead!

Old East grabbed him to keep him from going out.

"Until she is hung up this once, Cold Lizard won’t let it go!"

Struggling, Heijii suddenly pounded his fist on the table, cursing under his breath.
