Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 116: Apology
When Lu Xiao made this demand, everyone except those who knew her well looked surprised.
They clearly hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to forego her own interests and instead demand that Beixian apologize to the slender male.
What good would that do Lu Xiao?
"Are you crazy?" Beixian stared at Lu Xiao, utterly shocked. She couldn’t understand why Lu Xiao would do such a thing.
"You can refuse." Lu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly, as if she couldn’t care less what Beixian thought.
As the eldest female of Duke Green’s family, Beixian had never suffered a single setback in her life. Whether at ho or out in public, she got whatever she wanted. No one dared to defy her wishes, disobey her commands, or even criticize her.
This encounter with Lu Xiao and her group was arguably the greatest trial she had ever faced.
"You’re a female! Why are you speaking up for *him*?" This was what Beixian found most incomprehensible.
"Because we’re not the sa." Lu Xiao gave a faint smile, not caring whether Beixian understood what she ant.
As expected, Beixian looked completely baffled. "I don’t get what goes on in your head. Fine, I’ll agree. But if you’re a fraud, I’ll make you apologize to !"
"No problem." Lu Xiao tossed the dal in her hand directly to the person in charge. "You can verify this here, can’t you?"
The woman in charge caught it carefully and nodded. "Of course, of course. Would you all like to co with us to watch, or..."
"Of course we’re coming!" Beixian cut her off, already at the door.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao had no choice but to stand. "You all wait here for the news."
Ares stood up with her. "I’ll go with you."
Lu Xiao smiled at him. "Okay."
The four of them left the reception room and followed the woman in charge to the verification lab next door. Every institution had equipnt that could authenticate docunts and dals, just in case of such situations.
Just as the woman in charge was about to place the dal on the scanner, Beixian suddenly called out, "Wait!"
All eyes turned to her, waiting to see what she would do next.
Beixian tilted her chin at Lu Xiao. "It’s not too late to back out now."
Lu Xiao hadn’t expected her to call a halt just to spout nonsense. Ignoring her, she said to the woman in charge, "Go ahead."
This ti, the woman in charge didn’t hesitate, placing the dal directly onto the machine.
The results ca quickly. Thirty seconds later, the machine responded with a synthesized voice: "This dal belongs to Earl Lu Xiao. Her Ladyship Lu Xiao is affiliated with the Fifth Research Institute..."
Lu Xiao was surprised to find that the dal also stored her personal information and a record of her achievents.
’It’s kind of embarrassing to have it all announced like this.’
She couldn’t help but interject, "You can stop it now, right?"
Snapping back to her senses, the woman in charge quickly terminated the announcent and carefully removed the dal, handing it back to Lu Xiao. "Please take this, Your Ladyship."
"How is that possible? You’re just so therapist from the Fifth Research Institute who treats that bunch of lunatics. Why would Her Majesty the Queen bestow a title on *you*?"
Because Lu Xiao had stopped it in ti, the news that all the S-Class males had been rehabilitated and discharged from the facility was not revealed.
So naturally, Beixian was unaware of this. The look she gave Lu Xiao was burning with jealousy.
But Lu Xiao felt no need to explain herself. She simply curled her lip into a slight smile. "Rember what you promised. Let’s go back."
At Lu Xiao’s reminder, Beixian’s heart clenched.
But she couldn’t go back on her own words now.
The group returned to the reception room. Teacher Ai Li and the others hadn’t been worried in the slightest that Lu Xiao would lose.
After all, they had been there on the day Lu Xiao was ennobled.
They had seen it with their own eyes.
So the whole group turned their gaze to Beixian, who was trailing at the very back, eagerly awaiting what would happen next.
Beixian couldn’t stand being stared at, but there was no way she was going to grovel and say sothing conciliatory to Lu Xiao.
She shot Lu Xiao a venomous glare, then turned to the slender male standing there and said, "I’m sorry."
With that, she turned, grabbed her bag, and ran out of the reception room, her eyes red-rimd as if she were the one who had been grievously wronged.
The slender male, having suddenly received an apology, instinctively looked toward Lu Xiao.
He knew very well that he never would have received that apology if not for the demand of the young female before him.
Even though the apology was reluctant, she had still been forced to bow her head and admit she was wrong.
It was sothing he had never dared to hope for. He knew that females never bowed their heads to males; unfair treatnt was all males ever received.
He was still wearing a muzzle, so he couldn’t speak.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao turned to the stunned woman in charge. "Since she has admitted her mistake, can his restraints be removed?"
The woman in charge was still in a daze. She’d never imagined that the eldest female of Duke Green’s family would actually apologize to a male.
Even though it was part of her deal with Lu Xiao, she was surprised Beixian hadn’t tried to weasel her way out of it.
Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the woman in charge quickly nodded. "Of course. We’ll release him from his restraints right away."
Soon, the slender male’s restraints were removed. Once free, he imdiately went to Lu Xiao, looking sowhat timid. "Thank you. My na is Platinum. If Your Ladyship hadn’t been willing to help today, I never would have walked out of here unhard. I’m so grateful to you, but I... If there’s anything you need to do, please, you must tell . I want to repay you for your kindness today."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao smiled at him. "It was no trouble at all. I don’t need anything in return. However, just to be safe, I suggest you find a new job."
She had only helped Platinum because she couldn’t stand the thods of the Female Protection Association and Beixian, not because Platinum himself was special.
She would have done the sa for anyone in his position today.
So, there was no need for Platinum to repay her.
After saying this, Lu Xiao casually walked past Platinum to Ares’s side and said to the others, "Let’s go."
Seeing that they were leaving, the woman in charge hurried over to Lu Xiao. "Earl Lu Xiao, I’m so sorry about what you had to witness today, but there was nothing we could do. We don’t dare to defy soone with Lady Beixian’s status. Please, forgive us."
"I’m not the one you should be apologizing to."
Lu Xiao left them with those words and didn’t linger. There was no point wasting her breath on them.
She knew perfectly well that the next ti sothing happened, they would do the exact sa thing—unless the person being wronged and frad also had powerful connections.
’The entire Female Protection Association is rotten to the core. How could it possibly be any good?’
’Today’s apology only happened because of my status as a rit Earl.’
’So why should I waste ti listening to all this?’
’There’s absolutely no need.’
However, the incident did make her appreciate one thing: having power was indeed a good thing.
