Silence lingered for a few moments after the principal's words. Then the middle-aged man let out a long sigh and rubbed his temples again."Alright. Regardless of who started this commotion, there's one thing we need to do first."His gaze returned to Kieran."Call your guardian."Without even thinking first, Kieran immediately replied, "There's no need."The principal frowned. Of course, he wasn't going to follow the words of a student."Did you hear what I said?""I did.""Then call your guardian."Kieran remained calm with his usual expressionless face, and his answer was just as honest and straightforward."My father is in prison."The principal fell silent for a moment."Then your mother.""My mother is working.""Call her.""She works day and night. She's usually very exhausted.""Then tomorrow.""My mother just got a new job."The principal looked at him expressionlessly. He had experience dealing with all kinds of students, including those who refused to let their parents know

Seeing that almost all the students around them were busy staring at their phone screens, Ron finally took out his own phone as well.At first, he only wanted to see how active the school forum had become, but a few seconds later, his expression changed immediately."...Good grief."The forum had completely exploded. The number of comments was increasing every moment. One thread had already reached hundreds of replies, and the more he read, the worse the discussion became.What made Ron uncomfortable was the fact that part of this problem had actually started because of him.A few days ago, when someone posted that Kieran was definitely going to be expelled because of his suspension, Ron had replied.He had only wanted to correct the information, that Kieran was not actually being expelled. That there were certain conditions, and the suspension could be revoked if Kieran's exam results improved significantly.At the time, he had not thought much about it. But now, that very informatio

Although he felt that something was strange, Kieran did not think much of it and continued walking toward his classroom as usual.Not long afterward, he entered the classroom, and the atmosphere inside was not much different.Several students who had been chatting immediately turned their heads.As usual, Kieran ignored everything.For some reason, he had suddenly developed an "aura" that attracted other people's attention.Of course, that was not always a good thing.He walked to his seat and sat down calmly.Less than a minute later, someone suddenly approached him."Hey."The student seemed hesitant when speaking, but after being looked at by Kieran, he had no choice but to continue."Have you seen the scoreboard yet?""No," Kieran replied casually and honestly, causing the student's expression to become strange."No?"The student fell silent for a few seconds before finally saying somewhat awkwardly,"In that case... you'd better see it for yourself."Kieran frowned slightly."Is

Kieran did not look angry or pleased when he saw the shock in the young man's eyes. After all, he was Franky's friend at school. If he learned his identity, it would mean new trouble, but coincidentally, Kieran had no intention of avoiding it.His gaze shifted to his two men, moving from one to the other before stopping for a moment."Go see Luke later and accept your punishment."The two men immediately nodded and did not dare argue under the pair of cold eyes staring at them."Yes, Boss... Understood.""You know the rules that were established. If you do something that harms the group or violates your employment contract, there are consequences."Cold sweat began forming on one of the men's foreheads."We understand. We won't do it again. We were truly stupid this time and made the wrong choice."Kieran gave a small nod."Good. Before you leave, return their money."The moment they heard that, the four students' expressions changed."What? Wait a minute—""We already paid that money

Kieran stood calmly in the dimly lit alley. His gaze swept across the six people standing in front of him one by one, but his expression did not change in the slightest.The two adult men standing behind the students were people who had chosen to follow him a few weeks ago after Boss Lee's group split apart, and yes, they were still working for him.Seeing them return to doing old jobs like this was not particularly surprising.Kieran knew better than anyone that a person's life did not change simply because they changed clothes or jobs. Old habits, old environments, and old acquaintances would not disappear within a matter of days.Because of that, he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity.Instead, he wanted to see just how far they were willing to go.In front of him, one of Franky's friends grinned in satisfaction when he saw that his "victim" remained silent. He spat to the side."Now you know what fear feels like, huh? Tsk, too bad it's already too late."The others laughed a

Luke, who had been silent earlier, finally rubbed the back of his neck before saying,“Boss…”Kieran glanced at him, knowing there was something he wanted to report privately, so he asked, “What is it?”“Actually, there’ve been some problems lately.”His expression darkened slightly.He fell silent for a moment before continuing, “Some of Boss Lee’s people have started causing trouble again.”Kieran’s gaze immediately turned slightly cold.“They’re not coming here, but they’re harassing our people outside. Sometimes while delivering goods. Sometimes while collecting money.”Luke clenched his fists slightly.“Some of our people even got beaten up.”The room immediately became much quieter for a few seconds. Luke looked at Kieran carefully before speaking again, “At first we thought it was just a coincidence… but now it’s obvious they’re doing it on purpose.”Kieran remained silent for a few seconds after hearing the report. His expression stayed flat, but his gaze gradually turned cold
