Dallas lowered his head and his face darkened. He seemed a little hesitant.

However, Pierre stared at Mr. Tu defiantly and retorted, "I'll not apologize!"

"You... You crossed the line but you're not remorseful for what you did?" Jason shouted and glared at Pierre irritably.

Pierre scoffed and snapped, "I crossed the line? I just criticized Chinese medicine and touched the statue, so what's the big deal?"

"I just said that Chinese medicine is old-fashioned and useless, so what's wrong with that? The statue is just a pile of rock, so why are you so angry that I vandalized it?" Pierre replied loudly.

Upon hearing that, Jason and the other lecturers were flushing with anger. They were so furious that they could not speak.

Fade stared at Pierre and Dallas coldly and reprimanded, "I don't care what you think and I'm not in the mood to correct you. If you don't believe in Chinese medicine and you don't feel like learning, then leave. You shouldn't stay here!"

Jason added solemnly, "Dallas Han and Pierre Zhang will be expelled from Chinese Medicine

Academy."

The other students were shocked when they heard that. It was a tedious selection process and it was challenging for them to enroll in the academy. Therefore, they knew that they were very lucky to be able to enter the academy.

Various influential figures in South Bay City tried to rely on their connections and enroll someone into the academy. Regardlessly, most of them were still rejected.

It was tough to secure a spot in the academy. Yet, after just a few days, Dallas and Pierre were expelled from the academy and they wasted a rare opportunity.

However, the duo did not seem to feel sorry for it.

Dallas seemed a little hesitant and his face fell.

On the other hand, Pierre was grinning broadly and he replied carefreely, "Go ahead and expel me. Do you think that I want to be in this horrible academy? If it weren't for my parents, I wouldn't even want to come. I'm not interested in learning all this rubbish."

He placed his hand around Dallas' shoulders and added smilingly, "Dallas, let's leave and go somewhere else. We should make way for these idiots to learn those rubbish."

Dallas seemed worried and replied hesitantly,

"Pierre, my parents..."

Pierre smirked and chipped in, "Come on, why are you even worried? I know your parents are medical lecturers in the university and they just sent you here to get a golden ticket. After you get back, they'll make special arrangements for you to enter their university, right?"

"I..." Dallas was a little uncomfortable when Pierre revealed his family arrangement in public.

However, Pierre did not care. He waved his hand and continued, "Don't worry about it. My parents are officials in the Medical Association of South Bay City. They wanted me to study here so that it's more convenient for me to take over their places in the future. Besides, they're not interested in Chinese medicine."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to my parents about your admission later. I'll ask them to enroll you into the university immediately, so you don't need to waste your time here." Dallas was excited and he asked eagerly, "Really?"

Pierre patted his chest and reassured Dallas confidently, "Of course! Besides, you know that my dad is a permanent committee of the Medical Association, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, of course!" Dallas smiled and nodded hurriedly. He was relieved upon hearing

Pierre's assurance.

Meanwhile, the crowd was infuriated by the duo's arrogant attitude. Nevertheless, they felt a little helpless too. After all, Pierre and Dallas were not interested in Chinese medicine. Many wanted to enroll in the academy to get a golden ticket for a better future.

It was hard to tell whether there were any other students like Pierre and Dallas in the academy.

There was a moment of silence. Jason was miserable and he seemed to have aged drastically.

Pierre and Dallas were smug upon noticing that. They laughed arrogantly and concluded, "Expel us? Whatever! Let's leave and have fun!"

They placed their arms around each other and strode off without a care.

Meanwhile, Jason and the other students remained silent at the sight of that.

However, before Dallas and Pierre could walk out of the academy, Fade snapped coldly, "Stop right there!"

The duo stopped in their tracks and turned around.

Pierre scowled at Fade and asked in annoyance, "What do you want? We're expelled, right? You're not letting us leave?"

Fade replied indifferently, "You're expelled because you violated the school rules. Yet, you have to compensate for vandalizing the academy's property." Fade pointed at the statue of the late Chinese medicine practitioner and added, "You just vandalized the statue. Do you think that I'll let you go?"

Pierre and Dallas were taken aback.

Pierre immediately pouted and retorted disdainfully, "It's just a pile of stone! You just want some money, right? I don't have much but I have a lot of money."

"Here! This is ten thousand yuan. It'll be enough for you to get another pile of stone. Haha!" Pierre scoffed and threw a bank card at Fade.

However, Fade did not even bother to catch the bank card. On the contrary, he slapped the bank card back to Pierre and it landed on Pierre's feet. Fade snapped coldly, "Ten thousand yuan is not enough."

"Is this an extortion?" Pierre barked as he stared at Fade fiercely. Pierre was on the verge of getting into a fistfight with Fade.

Yet, Dallas grabbed Pierre and persuaded, "Pierre, it's just a small amount of money. There's no need to argue with them. We can just give them a little

more money."

Dallas fished out a bank card and continued, "There's fifty thousand yuan in this card. That should be enough!"

After that, the duo turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Fade did not accept the bank card and he demanded coldly, "Fifty thousand yuan! That's not enough. You need to pay five million yuan for vandalizing the statue."

Although Pierre and Dallas were from wealthy families, they exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the amount.

"Five million yuan? Are you f*cking kidding?" Pierre went ballistic.

"That statue is not worth five million yuan!" Dallas added and shook his head in disbelief.

Fade replied coldly, "You said you don't have much but you have a lot of money, right? Why? You can't even afford to pay five million yuan?"

Pierre glared at Fade and hissed, "I've five million yuan but I don't want to waste it on that piece of junk. So what if I don't pay? What can you do to me?"

Dallas frowned and added, "You're extorting us."

Upon finishing that, the duo turned to leave.
