That morning, the atmosphere in the classroom felt slightly different. Not because the teacher had not arrived yet, nor because of the usual noise from the students, but because of one figure sitting in the very back seat.Kieran.For the first time since returning to school, he wasn't sleeping on the desk, not playing on his phone, nor daydreaming while staring out the window.He sat upright with a book open in front of him.Even though his expression remained flat and cold as usual, that simple action strangely felt very odd in everyone’s eyes.“…I’m not seeing things, right? Kieran is studying?”Some people chuckled quietly, while others sneered.“He’s probably just pretending to be diligent. Besides, he’s stupid anyway. No way he can understand a textbook.”“Mm, true. He’s always ranked last in class. He didn’t even move up grades because he was capable, but because the teachers were too lazy to deal with him and wanted him to graduate quickly.”However, Kieran, the object of disc

“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

Kieran stared at the woman for a few seconds. His gaze remained calm, yet inwardly he said, “Finally took the bait.”From the very beginning, Elaine had been too quiet. She was unlike the other parents who kept shouting and venting their emotions. The woman had merely sat calmly while observing the direction of the conversation, allowing others to pressure Kieran first.And that was annoying.Now, when the situation was beginning to shift, this woman finally decided to step in personally.Elaine raised one hand with a small gesture. Immediately, a man in a suit who had been standing behind her stepped forward. Clearly, he was her personal assistant.The man respectfully handed several sheets of documents to Elaine.Elaine didn't even look at them right away. She merely held the documents while continuing to stare at Kieran.“You said earlier that you needed evidence, didn’t you?”Her voice was soft. Yet precisely because it was too calm, the pressure in her tone felt even clearer.“Th

“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

“A good recording.”Elaine smiled faintly without looking even slightly panicked. Her tone remained soft and elegant as she continued, “But this recording only proves that my son and his friends provoked the conflict. It doesn't prove who used violence first.”Some of the parents who had started wavering immediately regained their confidence.That was true. The video stopped before the fight actually began.“Besides, the authenticity of digital evidence like this can still be questioned.”Elaine’s gaze briefly lowered to the phone in the principal’s hand. Her tone remained calm, but it was obvious she was trying to regain control of the room.“And witnesses?” she continued softly. “Who is going to stand on your side?”Everyone knew the answer. No one would testify for Kieran.Seeing the situation becoming advantageous for him again, Franky immediately sneered mockingly.“See?” he taunted while looking at Kieran. “Who the hell would believe someone like you?”Several other students nodd

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

057As soon as the café door was pushed open, the small bell immediately rang.A woman who was arranging glasses behind the cashier counter turned around. Her hair was tied up high, and a light brown apron was neatly fitted around her body.“Oh, you’re here.”It was Gina.Her gaze stopped on Kieran for a few seconds. Slightly different from the last time they met, when Kieran applied for the part-time job, today Kieran looked much neater. His black hair, now cut shorter, made his cold face appear more defined.But the strangest thing was his expression. Right now, there was a faint, friendly, and polite smile on his face.Not an overly wide fake smile, but the kind of professional smile that was just enough to make people feel comfortable.Gina immediately raised an eyebrow.“…wow.”Kieran looked at her and asked, “Is there a problem?”“No.” Gina quickly laughed softly while pointing at his face. “I’m just kinda shocked. Is this that legendary saying, different hairstyle, different pe

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

“Boss… you finally came.”The voice sounded almost like a relieved sigh.One of the people still standing, even with bruises on his face and split lips, looked at Kieran as though seeing a way out. The others also turned toward him. Some looked ashamed for failing to protect this place, while others were clearly enduring pain.Kieran didn't answer.But neither did he completely ignore them.His gaze slowly swept across the room. Luke was still kneeling with one hand pressing against his stomach, blood dripping from the corner of his lips.Then Kieran’s eyes stopped on Boss Lee.“What a pleasant reunion.”Boss Lee grinned widely, his tone full of mockery.“The moment I walked in, I could already tell this place lost its old touch. So a brat like you really likes playing house, huh?”Kieran remained calm and indifferent toward the sarcastic remark.“What do you want?”Boss Lee raised an eyebrow.“Hmm?”“A fight? Or did you just come to destroy things? I’ll entertain you.”The sentence w

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
