Such extre selfishness!
Not only was Ethen Cole angry with the car driver, but most of the onlookers also felt displeasure towards him.
However, they showed no intention of intervening, rely watching silently. After all, in this era of declining heavy industry, not everyone can drive a "Dugong" brand sedan.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to have a confrontation with such a person, especially when it's not their business...
"Child, are you okay?"
Though injured, the elderly man's first reaction was to check on his grandson.
After picking up his grandson and carefully examining him, he noticed that the boy had only superficial wounds, which allowed him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Enduring the pain in his leg, he stood up with his grandson in his arms and said to the driver of the large sedan, "Young man, the accident was an accident. How about we just let this go..."
The old man's aning was clear: neither party should pursue responsibility. He didn't want to demand dical expenses from the driver and hoped that the driver wouldn't hold him accountable for the damage to the car.
However, upon hearing this, the driver slapped the old man across the face. "Just let it go? Old man, you're dreaming! Do you know how much this big brand sedan costs? Thinking you can just let this go, no way!"
The loud slap left the old man stunned. He was montarily at a loss. Seeing his grandfather being hit, the little boy in the old man's arms was frightened and imdiately burst into tears.
That's how children are; when they see their family being bullied, they feel utterly helpless.
"Waah, waah"
The child's cries shocked the onlookers. After all, such blatant bullying and abuse in public were truly disgraceful. However, in the era of battle pet masters, it was a ti where strength was revered.
As long as the driver of the sedan had influence, even if it escalated to the base governnt, he wouldn't be afraid. Ultimately, the ones likely to suffer would still be this grandfather and grandson.
"Why are you crying? It's so noisy! You little brat are just as annoying as this old fool, truly worthless!"
The driver with sunglasses shouted angrily. His words made Ethen Cole, who was standing among the crowd, seethe with rage.
Having co from humble beginnings, he understood the hardships faced by ordinary people. Since this incident was unfolding right before his eyes, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
At that mont, a system notification sounded in Ethen Cole's mind.
"The system has issued a side quest: 'Help the Oppressed.' Please assist within 10 minutes by defeating the Sunglasses Driver to help this grandfather and grandson. Upon completion, you will receive a reward: a Growth Pill worth 1,000 growth points."
Upon hearing the system's reward clearly, Ethen Cole's breathing beca rapid. A reward of 1000 growth points was exceedingly generous.
Having already intended to step in and help, he now had even more reason to take action. Imdiately, Ethen Cole pushed through the crowd and approached the parties involved in the conflict.
"Stop!"
Ethen Cole's loud command left both the driver in sunglasses and the grandfather with his grandson montarily stunned.
The rest of the onlookers also turned their gaze toward Ethen Cole. Everyone was very curious about who this "busybody" really was.
When everyone saw that the person approaching was just a slender faced young man, they were quite surprised.
Especially the driver with sunglasses, who never expected a re pretty faced youth to dare to challenge him.
"Kid, I advise you not to ddle in other people's business!" The driver turned his head and coldly snapped at Ethen Cole.
"This matter originally had nothing to do with . But isn't it excessive to bully an elderly man and a child like this?"
Ethen Cole's gaze turned icy.
"Excessive?" The driver chuckled lightly.
"I've never known what 'too much' ans in my life! Let be clear: I am a mber of the 'Black Gang'! Even if the Black Gang goes too far, what can you do about it?"
The driver stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an air of dominance. His words caused the crowd to gasp in surprise.
Only then did the onlookers realize they had underestimated this driver. Not only was he wealthy, but he was also a mber of the Black Gang.
The Black Gang was a sowhat notorious underground force in the Morning Light Base, not sothing ordinary people could afford to provoke.
"This kid is in trouble now."
"Yes, offending the Black Gang ans he's in for a rough ti."
"Ah, it really proves the old saying, 'Right and wrong only arise when one tries to stand out!'"
...
The crowd murmured quietly among themselves, not expecting much from Ethen Cole and predicting a grim outco for him.
"Young man, thank you for standing up for us. But this matter doesn't concern you, and you don't need to involve yourself in such trouble," the elderly man said worriedly to Ethen Cole.
"It's alright, Grandpa. I'm a battle pet master," Ethen Cole replied, patting the little boy on the head reassuringly. He then turned around with a cold gaze directed at the driver with sunglasses.
Ethen Cole's actions took the driver by slight surprise, but only for a mont.
"So what if you're a battle pet master? I'm a battle pet master too!" the driver retorted with a low growl. "Kid, today I'll show you the cost of acting all high and mighty in public!"
With that, the driver summon his battle pet space, releasing his companion. In a flash of white light, a golden eagle appeared perched on the driver's shoulder.
This golden eagle is the black iron level five battle pet, "Sky light Eagle." The Sky Light Eagle is notoriously ferocious, a well known predator of the skies, and an infamous magical beast. Every year, countless children are snatched away by wild Sky Light Eagles.
