The principal and the male teacher weren’t the only ones left speechless. Leah and her friend stood frozen as well.
Four people, eight wide eyes, all staring at Kayden as if he were some exotic animal in a zoo.
Was this real? Or just an act?
Leah’s expression changed first. Surprise turned into awe as she looked at Kayden. This man was incredible! His actions just now were exhilarating-like something straight out of a movie. But that phone call at the end felt abrupt and hard to believe.
She had always known Kayden was impressive. He could fight multiple people at once and pull off feats that bordered on the impossible. But a single phone call capable of removing a powerful principal from her position? That seemed far-fetched.
Leah didn’t believe it. She was convinced Kayden was just putting on a show to scare everyone.
Her friend, however, believed every bit of it. With wide eyes, she asked Leah, “Is this really your boyfriend? He’s so commanding, so powerful!”
Indeed, what Kayden had just done was both commanding and powerful-like a scene ripped straight from a novel, deeply satisfying to witness. Especially seeing the principal humiliated so thoroughly-it was a cathartic moment.
Leah nodded, saying, “Yes, he’s my boyfriend.”
She had already claimed Kayden as her boyfriend in front of others before. The tension from earlier had lifted significantly thanks to Kayden’s bold actions. She couldn’t deny it-Kayden was truly remarkable.
“Oh my God, if I had a boyfriend like that, I’d be thrilled! Even if he wasn’t good-looking, as long as he’s that domineering, it wouldn’t matter.”
Leah paused, then asked with a hint of suspicion, “Are you saying he isn’t good-looking?”
“No, no, not at all! He’s incredibly handsome! I just mean for me, even if he wasn’t good-looking, I’d still want someone like him,” her friend said dreamily.
Teenage girls were like this-quick to shift their moods. Even moments of unhappiness could vanish in an instant when something exciting happened. That’s why this age is often called the “blossoming years,” a carefree and vibrant time of life.
“Leah, is your boyfriend really that powerful? Can he really get the principal fired with just one phone call? What does he do for a living?”
Leah snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the question.
She walked over, grabbed Kayden’s arm, and said, “Kayden, let’s go. That’s enough!”
Kayden turned to look at her and replied, “Don’t worry. Just stand back and watch. I’m not done yet. We’ll deal with them one by one. Trust me, I’ll make sure to settle this score for you.”
His words were thrilling to hear, but Leah couldn’t help feeling a bit worried. “You’re overdoing it. If no call comes through, you’ll be in trouble.”
The principal watched the two of them whispering but dared not interrupt. Her body ached from the earlier beating, and she had learned her lesson.
However, in her heart, she was already plotting revenge. She didn’t believe Kayden’s phone call could actually cost her her position. To her, he was just a thug with some martial arts skills-not someone with real power.
No matter how intimidating he seemed, there was no way he could remove her from her position.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the office phone.
The principal froze, her eyes darting toward the phone.
It had only been about a minute since Kayden’s call. Could it really be a call from higher-ups?
Shock rippled through the room. Leah and her friend were just as stunned as the principal.
Without acknowledging their reactions, Kayden calmly walked over, picked up the phone, and handed it to the principal.
“Answer it,” he commanded.
It wasn’t a request-it was an order.
The principal’s heart pounded as she reluctantly reached for the phone. Her anxiety was palpable as she brought the receiver to her ear.
A cold, familiar voice came through the line. “Ashley, you’re fired. Don’t ask me why. Don’t ask me for reasons. You’re not fit for this position.”
The principal’s scalp tingled. The words were nearly identical to what Kayden had said earlier. It was as if he had transmitted his threat directly through the phone.
“Did you hear me? If you did, pack your things and get out immediately,” the voice continued.
With that, the call ended abruptly.
Ashley’s entire body went cold. She stared at Kayden in disbelief and stammered, “Who are you?”
Who was this man? How could he fire her with just one phone call?
This wasn’t just strange-it was terrifying. She realized she had provoked someone she should never have crossed.
Though Kayden looked young, his actions were enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart.
Kayden didn’t answer her question. Instead, he turned his gaze to the male teacher and said, “Now it’s your turn.”
The male teacher, still clutching his injured back, flinched at Kayden’s words.
As Kayden approached him step by step, the teacher frantically shook his head. “No, you can’t do anything to me! I’m protected! You can’t touch me!”
Despite his protests, there was a false bravado in his voice. He tried to appear defiant, but his fear was evident.
He had already suffered a kick that broke his ribs, yet his pride wouldn’t let him back down. In his mind, Kayden was beneath him-someone who didn’t deserve his respect.
“What can’t I do?” Kayden repeated, a faint smile playing on his lips. “The last person who told me that is already buried six feet under. In my world, if you make a mistake, you pay the price. No exceptions.”
“If you knew who I was, you wouldn’t dare tell me what I can or cannot do.”
The teacher’s face turned pale, and his eyes darted nervously.
To Kayden, this man wasn’t intimidating. He was just a pathetic, floundering fish.
“I don’t care who you are,” the teacher said, his voice trembling. “But you’d better not cross the line. If you lay a hand on me, there will be consequences!”
He tried to back away, dragging his injured body along the floor.
Perhaps in his entire life, he had never seen eyes as cold and terrifying as Kayden’s.
Kayden’s lips curled into a chilling smile. “I specialize in dealing with trash like you. When you come to this land, you follow its rules. You’ve already broken them, so now you face your punishment.”
With that, Kayden stepped forward and planted his foot firmly on the teacher’s chest.
The teacher, who had been struggling to prop himself up, collapsed completely onto the floor.
