Chapter 6
- 【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 hilarious!
- It's because he doesn't respect me or protect me that the people around him look down on me and treat me disrespectfully.
- I used to endure everything, allowing myself and even Diana to suffer a lot of grievances. But now I'm awake, 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 shook off his hand, "I have nothing to hide, I can say everything in public!"
- I glanced at Caroline, "Your friends are right, aren't they? You and Caroline are really a perfect match. One betrays her own Mate, the other seduces someone else's Mate. There's a saying, 'birds of a feather flock together.' 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 a high society 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. And what are you!?"
- As Charlie said, although the Hesperian Empire still maintains many traditions of the werewolf race, it is highly civilized thanks to Lycan Viserys. In order to make the countless Packs of the Empire more cohesive, he established a set of social norms, with the most important being the vigorous development of education.
- Viserys set up werewolf schools across the Empire, ensuring that all teenage werewolves of age receive education. This not only instilled a sense of belonging to the Empire in werewolves from all Packs, but also promoted technological development, economic prosperity, and national strength.
- Hunterston, as the capital city, is the most civilized place where werewolves have received higher education, possess advanced technical skills, and take pride in having decent jobs. However, there is a serious issue of cultural discrimination here.
- Werewolves from ordinary families, who have not received much education and can only work in basic service industries or do simple manual labor, are often referred to as "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, stood up for me.
- She gestured towards me and said proudly, "You fool, what's so great about Empire Airlines? It's just a second-rate school. Do you know where Sunna came from? Empire Tech, the top school in the Empire! She achieved things you can't even imagine while still in school!"
- "And as for her family, it's something that a shameless whore can only dream of! 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 Tech? Who are you trying to fool? Do you even know what Empire Tech represents? It's the place with the top educational resources in the Empire, only the top geniuses or the most elite nobles can attend. Everyone there is the backbone of the Empire!"
- "And 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 too much? You're so drunk! Next time, maybe you should prepare before boasting! Otherwise, you'll just look like a ridiculous clown!"
- Perhaps I've heard too many similar sarcastic remarks, which has toughened my heart like steel, making me very composed. But Layla clearly hasn't experienced this kind of insult before, her fangs were showing, ready to transform into a wolf at any moment.
- Caroline pretended to sigh, "Simon, you really need to 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, not only your face, but the entire Sky Pack's reputation would be ruined by them."
- Simon's expression immediately turned uglier, he pointed at me and said, "I told you to reflect at home, but you had to come out. Go back immediately! You, this friend of yours, are not allowed to associate with her anymore!"
- I stared coldly at Simon and said, "I have rejected you. I am no longer a member of the Sky Pack. You can't order me around."
- Flames almost ignited in Simon's eyes as he reached out towards me once 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 was not afraid.
- Diana couldn't wait to scratch, "Come on! I will make this stupid and disgusting man know how powerful we are!"
- Just as the conflict was about to erupt, a kind voice suddenly came from beside me, "Hehe, isn't this Sunna? Long time no see."
- I turned to look and was surprised to see my mentor from the Imperial Institute of Technology, where I had studied and conducted research.
- I joyfully called out his name, "Professor Calvin!"
- As 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 in a gesture of respect towards 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 its founding.
- He had earned this medal because he was responsible for building the Empire's defense system and had been continuously updating and optimizing it for many years!
- "Are you having a gathering with your friends here?"
- 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 just now, saying she lied about attending the Imperial Institute of Technology and that she is not worthy of it. Can you vouch for her?"
- Upon hearing Layla's words, Professor Calvin's face, which was previously filled with a warm smile, turned ashen. His friendly gaze towards Simon and the others suddenly became sharp, like an ancient giant wolf awakening, ready to tear everything in front of him apart at any moment.
