The bespectacled man was sweating as he powerwalked to the elevator.
In the main hall, parents who had heard the news quickly collected their children and left.
One of the parties involved in this was the infamously hard-to-please Yuna Fest from a well-off family.
Most of the parents either had some power or had a bit of money to their name, but they did not have
the courage to pry into the commotion.
Yuna felt no shame when she noticed that people had left. Instead, she lifted her chin proudly and said,
“Do you see that? Everyone here is an authority of some sort, but none can stand before me…”
Jacob stared at her as if he couldn’t believe what an idiot she was being.
Standing off to the side, Charlie had managed to calm his son. He let out a breath and glared at Jacob.
“Boy, I swear on everything I have that I will not let you walk out here without any consequences!”

From a few doors down, Jonah stuck out his head and whispered, “Moira, come here! I need you.”
Hearing him, Moira struggled with herself before narrowing her eyes and puffing out her chest. She
touched her daughter’s braids.
Heidi turned and smiled sweetly up at her.
Jacob felt something in Moira change. While her expression remained the same, he felt warmness
flood his chest.
His eyes flickered over Yuna and her husband. He shook his head and led his daughter to the door.
“Stop! Don’t even think of leaving!” Charlie took a step forwards. His face dark with anger.
Jacob turned and looked at him. His eyes were dark and cold like obsidian. “Are you going to stop
me?”
“I…”
The icy rage in Jacob’s eyes sent a chill down Charlie’s spine.
“Trash!” Yuna screamed at her husband’s show of cowardice.
She stepped forward and jabbed a long red fingernail between Jacob’s eyebrows. “Tell me your name if
you dare!”
Jacob glanced at her and shook his head. He continued onwards.
Yuna clenched her teeth tightly. She wanted to run after him and scratch his eyes out. But she resisted
when she remembered the group of bodyguards lying motionless behind her.
She narrowed her eyes at the three figures disappearing through the door.
Soon, only three of them were left in the hall, along with the six unconscious bodyguards lying
scattered on the ground.

He blinked as he cautiously approached his wife. “Don’t worry, Yuna. I’ll have someone find out his
identity for you.” He tried to placate her.
“What else can you do, huh?” She glared at him.
She harrumphed. Holding her son’s hand, she left through the other exit without sparing him another
glance.
Damned woman!
Charlie’s eyes simmered with rage. He clenched his jaw and tightened his fists.
After a while, he finally let out a long breath. He turned towards the unconscious guards and stalked
towards them with violent intent.
Soon, the hall was filled with the thumps of kicks and punches followed by faint cries of pain.
