Riches in Disguise

I chuckled. "Sure. As long as you can handle the consequences, Mr. Parker," I said and turned to leave.noveldrama

"Hold it right there!" Tom sprang to his feet in anger. "Did I allow you to leave?"

I was so full of disdain that I couldn't even be bothered to turn around. "Mr. Parker, you're just an assistant who counsels the students. You're neither a professor nor a king.

"What gives you the right to restrict my freedom of movement? I'm not allowed to leave just because you said so. You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

I was about to leave the office when Roger appeared at the door.

Folding his arms across his chest, he stared at me contemptuously and said to Tom, "I told you to teach him a good lesson, but you refused to take my advice. Look what's happening now.

"This guy is shameless and likes to push his luck. Do you think he'll appreciate it if you're kind to him?"

Again, I sniggered silently. Was he being kind to me by accusing me of murder? I guessed they must have misunderstood what it meant to be kind.

I paced to Roger and said coldly, "Get out of the way, old dog."

Roger widened his eyes in shock. "What did you say?"

Would he like to hear it again? I'd satisfy him, then. "Get out of the way, old dog."

"Y-You're asking for it!" He raised his hand and swung his fist at me, but I dodged it smoothly.

There was only so much resistance I could offer. If I struck a professor that day, I would never be able to clear my name.

Even though Roger attacked me, I didn't fight back because I'd soon make him pay a price more hefty than getting a beating.

After dodging the punch, I glanced~~

back at Louis and gave him the

middle finger. Without saying

single word, Louis looked at me with

anger, fear, and glee.

I had no regard for Tom and Roger. Naturally, I wouldn't be afraid of him. Louis

must know about this, too.

After

he office, I called

Victor.

time, I asked you to organize a professional course for

me at Welsington Unive Coutonet

"How are things going? My professional course professor is Roger Hopkins, and I don't want to attend his classes."

Victor immediately answered, "The

professor is ready. He has been preparing the lectures for the past couple of days. I think he's almost ready if you need him urgently, I'll ask him to report to the university today, Mr. White."

"Tell him to come today, then."

After talking back to Tom and Roger, I could foresee that they'd gang up to deal with me.

In the worst case, I'd be publicly criticized. In a more severe case, I'd receive demerit points and even be expelled.

I must speculate their actions with the worst intentions and act before them.

The lecture ended when I returned to the classroom. Liam, Benjamin, and the others quickly surrounded me.

"How did it go, William? Did Mr. Parker cause you any trouble?"

I grinned and replied, "No. He was rather polite and merely asked about the situation."

I hid the truth because I didn't want them to worry.

Liam sighed deeply in relief after hearing me. "That's great. I was scared and didn't listen to the lecture at all."
