World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Joey’s Giant Whale had accumulated enough power, and it unleashed a huge volume of blue liquid at Hobrick and his three elementals!

“Is it seawater again?” Hobrick had already learned of the seawater’s destructive power, and as such, he ordered his wood elemental to form a wood wall between them!

The blue liquid’s range was very large, and it had already wet Hobrick and his three elementals.

Nevertheless, Hobrick had managed to block the attack.

“Hmph! Prepare to die, Joey!” Hobrick flicked his wet sleeves, and ordered his elementals to unleash a combined attack!

However, even after he had given the order, none of the the three elementals had moved at all!

This was the first time Hobrick had encountered such an incident.

He hurriedly looked upwards and noticed that his elementals had been completely enveloped in the blue liquid from before!

“Cr*p!” Hobrick was about to take off his wet robe, but he realized that it was too late!

This blue Liquid was not seawater at all! It was something akin to glue!

Soon, he noticed that the blue liquid was spreading throughout his body!

It had fixed him to the spot, and he was unable to budge at all!

‘I was careless…’ Hobrick mentally berated himself. He did not expect to be deceived by such a simple trick!

Joey looked at Hobrick, who was unable to move, and laughed loudly. “Hahahaha… Did you know, old fart? I’ve been studying your Battle Beasts for a long time! I specially developed Sea Glue to deal with you!”

Ever since he had decided to dominate the Holy City, Joey knew that there was a high chance that he would eventually engage Hobrick in battle. As such, he had developed the technique with the goal of restraining Beastmasters who possessed a bunch of Battle Beasts and tactics up their sleeves.

“Old Man! I’ll give you one chance. As long as you’re willing to submit the Federal Academy to me, I promise I won’t kill you! You can still be the principal and help me nurture an army of Beastmasters!” Although Joey was ambitious and arrogant, he had always placed great importance on talented people.

Although Hobrick was already old and his abilities were nowhere near his prime, his experience and the countless secrets that he held about the world were exactly what Joey needed!

With the old man restrained, the lives of the instructors and students in the academy was now in Joey’s hands. It was Joey’s best bet in making Hobrick submit!

“Alright then, let’s talk terms…” Upon hearing Hobrick’s words, the students hiding in the Black Tortoise’s belly gasped in shock!

“Has the old man gone mad?”

“Many of our classmates and instructors have been killed by the Frank family. Has the principal gone mad?”

“No! I’m going to head out and snap the old man out of his delusion!”

An instructor shot up and attempted to head out, but he was immediately held back by someone!

With a smile, Tristan stated, “You’re the one who’s confused… It’s been so many years, and yet, you haven’t understood the principal’s personality? Do you think that he’s the kind of person who would willingly submit to someone? Several noble families have coveted our academy over the years. If Hobrick were the type to submit when put at a disadvantage, the Federal Academy would have already become the White family’s property ages ago!”

“But… What is the old man planning?”

The others also cast their gazes on Tristan.

“Hmph, the old man is a narrow-minded person. There’s no way that he would just surrender like that. Just keep quiet and watch…”

While looking at Hobrick’s “sincere” gaze, Joey contemplated on the figure he should offer Hobrick.

While stroking his beard, he suggested, “How about 30 billion coins for you to rebuild the campus…”

Although Hobrick was unable to shake his head, he still refused. “It’s not enough! At least 80 billion is required!”

“50 billion is enough! There will be no need for any leisure facilities in the future. Instead, they will be replaced with military camps!” Joey responded after serious consideration.

“Let’s settle at 55 billion! I don’t have a pension, after all!” Hobrick had a stubborn expression on his face.

’55 billion?’

Joey could easily cover the bill, but what confused him was that the old man was already over 70 years old. ‘What age does he think he’ll live to?”

‘How on earth is he going to spend a pension of 5 billion federal coins?’

“Alright! It’s settled then!” Joey was about to turn around but he was suddenly stopped by Hobrick.

“Wait! I have more requests!”

“Speak!” Joey was a little concerned about the situation at the Estelle Manor, and he subconsciously looked at his watch.

“I also require medical insurance and life insurance! Also, I need at least two hundred Beast Eggs for research…”

“Sure! That’s a small figure!”

“We also need to update the teaching materials. I want everything that the other two top universities have as well!”

“Sure! I’ll ask my family members to purchase whatever material they come across!”

“Also…”

Seeing that the other party was not done talking, Joey immediately interrupted, “Mr. Principal! Can you finish your requests in one breath? I have other matters to attend to!”

Hobrick cast an apologetic look and whimpered, “Alright then, I want to equip the instructors with luxury vehicles and to build a brand new training ground! I also want you to cover the travel expenses for the students when they go home, for family visits, and to build new classrooms…”

There was no end to the old man’s requests. How could Joey remember so many requests?

Hence, he called over a subordinate and ordered him to record Hobrick’s requests.

Hobrick piled requests upon requests. Half an hour had gone by in a blink of an eye!

“Alright! Alright! How about this. If you have any further requests, write them down for me!” Joey waved his hands and dismissed Hobrick. He was really annoying!

‘At least he has submitted to me.’

‘The Federal Academy would be under the Frank family’s rule in the future! All this trouble is worth it!’

The moment his Giant Whale turned around, Joey was greeted by the sight of a young man with wind wings sprouting from his back!

“Dammit kid! Had you arrived any later, I would’ve been reduced to a sack of bones! Also, regarding your transfer to the Divine Class, I’ve changed my mind! You must study in the Bronze Classes for half a year first!” Although Hobrick was scolding Locke, he had a cheerful grin on his face!

“So the old man was stalling for time?”

“Locke’s holding Instructor Jacques in his arms!”

“I knew that the old man would not yield…”

“Sigh… I misunderstood him. I will no longer doubt his shameless personality…” The instructor who wanted to persuade him earlier covered his face.

Joey turned around, and his eyes were about to pop out from anger!

The veins on his face bulged, and he cursed angrily, “You old hooligan! How dare you trick me? You’re already an old man, and yet, you’re still using such childish tricks?! How shameless, despicable…”

Locke and all the teachers and students present expressed sympathy for Joey in their hearts.

Using Lil’ White’s Spatial Movement ability, Locke teleported into the Black Tortoise’s cabin and handed Jacques over to the instructors.

The medical instructors immediately tended to Jacques’ wounds.

“Hey! Kid! You forgot about me!” Hobrick was rooted to the spot, and he felt as if Locke had forgotten about him.
