“Look at our children! They’re so terrified they even had nightmares all night!”“This has gone too far! A child like that is dangerous! Who knows what he did to make our children end up like this!”The atmosphere in the room became noisy again the moment Kieran entered.Several parents spoke at the same time, cutting each other off while pointing toward the students standing nearby with their heads lowered. Those children wore pitiful expressions, as if they were the biggest victims in this situation.The principal looked even more troubled. He rubbed his temples while trying to calm the situation.“Alright, alright… let’s settle this one at a time—”“One at a time how?!” one middle-aged man snapped loudly. “My son was beaten up to this extent!”The man pulled his son slightly forward.The student lowered his head with a gloomy face. The injuries on his face were actually minor, barely noticeable even, but the tone of his father’s voice made the situation sound far worse than it real

“For whom is it the best decision?”Kieran’s gaze shifted from the principal to Elaine, then to the parents who had been pressuring him nonstop from the beginning.The room fell silent again for a few seconds, not because of anything else, but because Kieran’s gaze was somewhat frightening.However, this time, before the principal could answer, Franky suddenly let out a sarcastic laugh from his seat.Even though one side of his face was still swollen, the way he looked at Kieran was full of mockery and hatred.“You still dare to talk so much? Even though now your fate is just waiting for the school’s decision.”“Franky,” the pr

Kieran walked out of the principal’s office with calm steps.In his hand was a neatly folded suspension letter. At the bottom of the letter was a guardian’s signature column.Earlier, the principal had even specifically reminded him to show the letter to his mother and bring it back after it had been signed.Ironically, compared to the suspension punishment itself, that part was what felt more troublesome to Kieran.The homeroom teacher walked beside him while carrying a complicated expression. As an ordinary teacher, he also didn't have many choices other than following the school’s decision.When they arrived in front of the classroom, the atmosphere inside was still continuing as usual because class was in session.The homeroom teacher knocked on the door first before briefly speaking with the teacher who was currently teaching.Dozens of pairs of eyes instantly turned toward the door. Kieran could feel their gazes, curiosity, shock, even some who looked satisfied seeing him in thi

A few hours earlier.Luke stood in the middle of the room while holding several sheets of budget notes. His face looked serious as he tried to understand the writing from the woman in financial management whom Kieran had recruited a few days ago.“…why does even tissue expenses need to be recorded…”He rubbed his tired face.Nearby, several former gang members were carrying a small cabinet while joking lightly.“Looking at us now, we really do fit being office workers.”“Only your mouth still fits being a thug.”Small laughter immediately followed their banter.However, the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long. The front door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.The sound of the impact instantly silenced the entire room. Everyone reflexively turned toward the door.And the moment they saw who was standing there, their expressions immediately changed.Boss Lee walked in first with slow steps. His large body almost filled the doorway. A worn black jacket hung over his shoulders, wh

The man moved quickly while gripping a short iron rod in his hand. His face was filled with anger and panic. It was obvious he had already lost his mind after seeing everyone collapse so easily.“BOSS!”One of Kieran’s subordinates reflexively shouted while trying to move and block him. However, his own body was still injured and several steps too slow.Meanwhile, Kieran instantly realized that his body was too slow.The effect of the earlier strength enhancement had completely disappeared. Its aftermath made his muscles feel heavy, and his reactions were no longer as sharp as they had been a few minutes ago.Even so, Kieran’s gaze remained calm.At the last second, his body tilted slightly, and the iron rod still slammed hard into his shoulder with a clear sound of impact.Several people immediately held their breath.A sharp pain spread all the way through his left arm, making Kieran’s body sway slightly. If he had dodged even a little later, it would have been his head that got hit
