Although coming back to life is an enormous blessing, facing everything unfamiliar, he felt a helpless sense of being completely lost.
Just as he was feeling troubled, a woman's voice sounded in his ear, "Hmph, let's see where you can run this time!"
Brian Carter turned his head and saw that the woman speaking was the very same one who had been completely naked inside just now. Of course, she couldn't possibly be unclothed like before, but the anger on her face was no less than earlier. The way she bared her teeth and glared made it seem as if she wanted to swallow Brian Carter alive.
Even though this girl was a white tiger, fierce beyond belief, Brian Carter wasn't afraid at all, because as long as he wanted, he could come up with a hundred ways to deal with her at any time.
But as the saying goes, it's better to resolve enmity than to create it.
To be honest, Brian Carter really didn't want things to get out of hand with this woman, so he cupped his hands and said, "Miss, I'm truly sorry, everything just now was a misunderstanding. I might have... been forced to enter that place."
The whole scene just now had been witnessed by Linda Bennett, so she naturally knew that Brian Carter had been forced into the girls' bathhouse. But to be inexplicably seen naked, and even groped through her clothes for so long, and then scratched half to death—how could she possibly let it go? She sneered sarcastically, "Hmph, Brian Carter, not bad! Even Kevin Harris isn't your match. So you were always pretending to be weak while actually being a tiger in disguise. Tell me, what's your purpose? Are you an undercover sent by the triads, like in 'Infernal Affairs'?"
"Miss, what did you just say? I really don't understand!" Brian Carter was just telling the truth, but to Linda Bennett, it sounded even more like he was putting on an act.
"Hmph, still pretending! Tell me, why did you always act so cowardly before, letting others bully you? And now, why aren't you pretending anymore?"
Faced with Linda Bennett's barrage of questions, Brian Carter was at a loss for words. After a while, he finally said, "If that's what you're asking about, I have nothing to say. As for what happened before, I've already apologized!"
Seeing that Brian Carter was about to leave, Linda Bennett quickly ran a few steps and blocked his way.
Brian Carter frowned slightly, "What? Miss, do you still want to have a close combat fight with me?"
Thinking of what had happened in the bathhouse, Linda Bennett's face turned red with embarrassment and even more uncontrollable anger. She wanted nothing more than to pounce on him and tear him apart. But to humiliate a guy famous for being a coward in such a public place would only disgrace her as class monitor, campus belle, and vice president of the student council. So she could only say through gritted teeth, "Brian Carter, I will never let this go! Once we're outside the school gates, don't let me catch you, or I'll make sure you pay back with interest!"
"As for the future, we'll talk about it then!" Brian Carter waved his hand. He couldn't even figure out what was going on right now, let alone worry about the future!
Just as he lifted his foot to leave, Linda Bennett blocked his way again.
This time, Brian Carter was a bit annoyed. "Miss, what exactly do you want?"
What did she want? Hmph, she wanted to skin him, cut his flesh, drink his blood, and then boil his bones for soup—Linda Bennett thought viciously, but what she actually said, in a voice as soft as a mosquito, was, "What you... saw just now, you're not allowed to tell anyone!"
Brian Carter was confused at first, then suddenly understood. A white tiger is considered a great misfortune, said to bring bad luck to husbands and sons. If others found out, this young lady might never get married. So he nodded, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone that you are a white tiger!"
Linda Bennett stomped her foot in anger, her face flushed with shame and fury as she shouted, "You're still saying it!"
Brian Carter waved his hand. He had already seen her body and ruined her innocence, but he had no intention of taking responsibility, so it was best not to get entangled any further. He turned and left, leaving behind an angry and unwilling Linda Bennett standing there...
Chapter 005: This World Is Truly Wonderful
He avoided the fierce and fiery, yet utterly barren Linda Bennett.
Brian Carter wandered around the police academy for more than an hour, barely managing to find his way back by relying on his memory.
By this time, Linda Bennett was naturally no longer standing there, but he himself felt a bit dumbfounded.
Because after wandering around, he still couldn't figure out what kind of world this was. Everywhere he looked, there were strange things whose principles and uses he couldn't understand. The clothes people wore were bizarre as well, especially the women—their outfits were so revealing, it was almost as if they weren't wearing anything at all. By Brian Carter's standards, it was practically bare-chested and exposed, even more outrageous than the women in brothels of the past.
If it were just the bold and revealing clothes, that would be one thing, but the customs here were so wild it left him speechless. In broad daylight, in front of everyone, a man and a woman dared to openly put their arms around each other and flirt. That was already outrageous, but just now, as he passed a bench, he actually saw a man and a woman sitting there embracing and kissing, the man's hand directly inside the woman's clothes, and the woman shamelessly putting her hand on the man's crotch.
