The entire court erupted into lighthearted laughter at the phrase newborn son.Lord Smith gestured toward the grand entrance. The outer courtroom doors swung completely open, revealing the sunlit courtyard outside.Parked directly in front of the stone steps was a brand-new, jaw-dropping, bright yellow Lamborghini Urus!

Mike cried, his voice breaking with deep gratitude.

The midday sun beat down hard on the crowded campus pathways of Tuntadel University, casting long shadows across the bustling courtyards. Baron walked side-by-side with Luke, his eyes scanning the crowd while keeping his tone calm and steady."You've been missing in action for days, Luke," Baron said, glancing over at his friend. "Everyone has been wondering where you disappeared to. What is going on?"Luke kept his head down, his shoulders tense, kicking a loose pebble across the pavement. He let out a heavy, exhausted sigh before looking up."It hasn't been easy, Baron," Luke muttered, his voice trembling slightly with suppressed fear. "I didn't have a choice.

Beside her, Leo Vance turned completely pale, staring at the podium as if he had just been slapped across the face!"W-What?!" Kate choked out, her voice trembling in utter embarrassment. "Baron?!"Rose stepped up to the microphone beside Judge Ballack, raising her hands to address the roaring crowd."That is not all, students!" Rose announced with a bright, triumphant smile.

He pulled out the heavy parchment, his heart beating wildly against his ribs as he braced himself for terrible news from the state capital.He unfolded the paper, his eyes racing down the official script.OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR“To Professor Lashley of Tuntadel University,”“By order of the Supreme Executive Council and the Ministry of Education, in light of your heroic actions, unyielding integrity, and steadfast leadership during the recent crisis, you are hereby appointed as the official Dean of Tuntadel University.”“All executive powers, administrative clearances, and security protocols of the university are immediately transferred to your command…”Lashley didn't even finish reading the remaining paragraphs.

He smashed his heavy fist onto the steel control panel, shattering the glass screen into a hundred tiny pieces!"DEAN LASHLEY?!" Mr. Windgate roared, his voice booming through the concrete hideout like thunder! "HOW ON EARTH DID LASHLEY BECOME THE DEAN?!"Matt stood nearby, clutching his dark weapon, his jaw set tight. "Father, calm down—""CALM DOWN?!" Mr. Windgate shrieked, dark void energy flaring wildly around his arms! "Lashley is a fanatic! He's obsessed with security and law!
