Chapter 5

• 【Sunna's POV】
• Simon's friends looked at me, then at each other, at a loss for words.
• "I told you to reflect at home, why are you here?"
• Simon frowned and scolded me, "They were just joking, don't make a scene!"
• "Make a scene?!"
• I found Simon's words ridiculous!
• It's because he doesn't respect me, doesn't protect me, that the people around him look down on me and treat me disrespectfully.
• I used to endure a lot, letting myself and Diana suffer a lot of grievances, but now I won't take a step back.
• "Simon, don't forget, it was you who begged me to be your Mate in the first place! Your friends have no respect for me, and you say I'm making a scene?"
• Simon glared at me fiercely, stood up and reached out to pull me, "Let's talk outside!"
• I pushed his hand away, "I have nothing to hide, I can say everything in public!"
• "Your friends are right, aren't they? You and Caroline are really a perfect match, one betraying their Mate, the other seducing someone else's Mate. There's a saying, 'birds of a feather flock together,' right? From this perspective, I really don't match up with you."
• As soon as I said this, Simon and Caroline's faces visibly darkened.
• "Slap!"
• Charlie slammed the table and stood up, pointing at me and scolding loudly, "Sunna, your manners are even lower than I imagined! It's a civilized world now, as the Luna of the Sky Pack, you are an upper-class person, yet you speak so vulgarly! Do you really think you deserve Alpha Simon!?"
• "Simon and Caroline are a perfect match, deeply in love. Who are you to belittle Caroline? She comes from a noble background, a top talent from the Imperial Aviation Academy. What are you!?"
• As Charlie said, although the Hesperian Empire still maintains many traditional customs of the werewolf race, the level of civilization is very high, thanks to Lycan Viserys. In order to make the countless Packs in the empire more cohesive, he has established a set of social norms, with the most important being the vigorous development of education.
• Viserys has set up werewolf schools across the empire, ensuring that all teenage werewolves of age receive education. This not only instills a sense of belonging to the empire in werewolves from all Packs, but also promotes technological development, economic prosperity, and national strength.
• Hunterston, as the capital city, has the highest level of civilization. The werewolves here have all received higher education, possess high technical abilities, and take pride in having a decent job. However, there is a serious cultural discrimination problem.
• Werewolves from ordinary families, who have not received much education and can only do basic service jobs or simple manual labor, are often called "mud legs" and suffer severe bullying.
• Simon knows nothing about my past, he doesn't know my parents or what I've been through. He thinks I'm just a orphan from a declining Beta family, with no skills. Naturally, his friends see me the same way.
• "You're ridiculous!"
• My good friend Layla, who knows me inside out, stepped up to speak for me.
• She gestured towards me and proudly said, "You fool, what's so great about Empire Airlines! It's just a second-rate school. Do you know where Sunna came from? Empire's top engineering school! She achieved unimaginable success while still in school!"
• "As for her family, it's something that even a shameless whore can only look up to for a lifetime! Even your Alpha Simon's Sky Pack is nothing compared to her family!"
• "Hahaha!"
• Charlie and the others burst into laughter, not hiding their mockery. "Her? Empire's top engineering school? Who are you trying to fool? Do you even know what Empire's top engineering school represents? It's where the Empire's top education resources are, only the Empire's top geniuses or the most elite nobles can attend. Everyone there is the backbone of the Empire!"
• "And as for her family, it's even more laughable. A poor orphan that no Pack wants, who doesn't know that? Even the Sky Pack is nothing, did you drink a few bottles of wine and get drunk like this? Next time, maybe you should practice before boasting! Otherwise, you'll just look like a ridiculous clown!"
• Perhaps I've heard too much of this kind of sarcasm, which has hardened my heart like steel, making me very composed. But Layla clearly hasn't experienced this kind of pressure before, her fangs were starting to show, ready to transform into a wolf at any moment.
• Caroline pretended to sigh, "Simon, you really should discipline your Luna. What kind of friends is she making? Luckily, today's embarrassment is only in front of our own people. If it were somewhere else, wouldn't it be your face, and the entire Sky Pack's face, being completely disgraced by them?"
• Simon's expression turned even uglier, and he pointed at me, "I told you to reflect at home, but you had to come out. Go back immediately! And you, this friend, you are not allowed to associate with her anymore!"
• I stared coldly at Simon, "I've said it before, I'm no longer a member of the Sky Pack. You can't order me around."
• Flames almost flickered in Simon's eyes as he reached out towards me again.
• I had a feeling that this time he would forcibly drag me out, maybe even resort to violence.
• But as I had told him before, I wasn't afraid. Diana was even itching to scratch, "Come on! I'll show this stupid disgusting man what we're capable of!"
• Just as the conflict was about to erupt, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside me, "Hehe, isn't this Sunna? Long time no see."
• I turned to look and saw my mentor from when I was studying at the Empire's top engineering school, the one who had taught me courses and conducted research with me.
• I joyfully called out the mentor's name, "Professor Calvin!"
• When I called out this name, Simon and everyone at the table, as well as everyone around who had heard the voice and looked over, all stood up, showing their respect for this elderly Lycan man.
• In the entire Empire of Heling, there were few who did not know Professor Calvin, as he was one of the deputies of Lycan Viserys and one of the only ten people in the Empire to receive the "Pillar of the Empire" medal in over a thousand years of the Empire's existence.
• He had earned this medal because the Empire's current defense system was built by him, and he had been continuously updating and optimizing it over the years!
• "Are you gathering here with your friends?"
• Professor Calvin came to my side, smiling at me and glancing at Simon and the others.
• For a moment, everyone looked at me with incredulous eyes.
• "Professor Calvin, you are someone we all know and respect. These people were insulting my good friend Sunna, saying she lied about attending the Empire's top engineering school, and that someone like her doesn't deserve to be there. Can you vouch for her?"
• Upon hearing Layla's words, Professor Calvin's face, which had been filled with a warm smile, turned ashen. His friendly gaze towards Simon and the others suddenly became sharp, like a awakened lion ready to devour everything in front of him.
