“My name is Edd. I’m a university professor, but I’m a scum. I am the garbage that pollutes this school. I am guilty. I’ve done unspeakable things to my students. I sincerely repent, and I apologize to every single victim. I’m sorry-it was me who hurt you. It was my shamelessness. My disgrace!”
“A few years ago, I came to this school to teach. I lost my way and, under the influence of my own depravity, I threatened some female students and forced them into things unspeakable. At first, they refused, but I used various threats to coerce them. Soon, I got what I wanted. Once, twice, three times-I kept crossing the line again and again! I am unworthy of being a teacher. I am unworthy of living in this country.”
“We have laws. We must abide by the laws. We cannot use our privileges to commit such despicable, filthy acts. By doing so, we are polluting the culture of this entire nation.”
“If you became a teacher for personal gain rather than to contribute to society, your end will likely be the same as mine. Here and now, I want to remind all my fellow educators: the law is not something we can trample on. I broke the law, and I have been punished. This is my punishment.”
At this point, the camera shifted downward to his lower body.
With that shift, the audience was presented with a horrifying, gut-wrenching scene.
“This is a great school, one that has produced many great people. I love this school, but I failed its students. I failed my profession. This punishment is one I brought upon myself. I blame no one. I have no right to blame anyone. Friends, I hope you take this as a warning. Do not follow in my footsteps.”
“Perhaps you think you’ll get away with it, but when the moment of reckoning arrives, you won’t even have the chance to repent! This is my best possible ending-remember, this is my best possible ending.”
The video ended there. That was all of it.
After watching the video, Audrey couldn’t help but let out a long, deep sigh. There was no doubt in her mind-this was Kayden’s doing. Only Kayden could have orchestrated something like this.
Edd was utterly ruined-his reputation destroyed, his body mutilated. This was likely the end of the road for him.
Audrey hated Kayden. She hated him for killing her brother. Yet, she couldn’t deny that he had a strong sense of justice. Regardless of whether Edd had been forced into this confession or not, his actions served as a wake-up call for all teachers and protected countless others in the process. At least for a long time, such things wouldn’t happen again.
Kayden had made one thing clear: on the land of Seclela, privilege did not grant anyone free rein. On this land, the rules must be followed. Failing to do so meant only one thing: punishment. Severe, merciless punishment.
It was rare to find someone with such a sense of justice, someone willing to uphold the dignity of the people and enforce the discipline of the nation. Kayden was truly an extraordinary, extraordinary man.
If he hadn’t killed her brother, perhaps Audrey might have fallen in love with him at this very moment.
As this thought crossed her mind, Audrey felt a strange warmth toward him. But the moment it surfaced, she quickly raised her hand and slapped her own face, muttering to herself, “Snap out of it, Audrey! What are you doing? He killed your brother! No matter how righteous he is, he’s still your enemy.”
With that, she clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with anger.
To distract herself, she instinctively opened the comment section under the video.
The comments were in chaos-an absolute battlefield of words. The reactions were intense, with people expressing their outrage in all directions.
“This guy’s a monster! Brothers, boost my comment-if I get 10, 000 likes, I’ll go live and beat the hell out of that scumbag Edd! I swear, I’ll do it!”
“You’re the man! I’ll boost you. Call me when you do, and I’ll join you.”
“Look at him! This scumbag is only acting all remorseful because he’s been dealt with. If you ask me, we should all band together and destroy him. I’m furious!”
“Do you think you’re funny? All this talk, and it’s just an excuse to get close to more women.”
“I think the real issue is that some women don’t know how to protect themselves. If they did, would scumbags like him succeed? When solving problems, we should focus on the root cause. Stop being ignorant and blaming-it’s more important for women to learn self-respect.”
“He said himself that he used every method under the sun! Are you kidding me? If I didn’t see your profile picture was a woman, I’d have already torn you apart! Don’t provoke me.”
“–”
The entire comment section was filled with arguments and insults. The video, along with the shocking news it carried, was quickly shared across major platforms. Within two days, it was certain to go viral and spark massive public outrage.
As Audrey scrolled through the comments, her phone rang again. It was the same number from earlier.
“Audrey, did you see that video? What do you think? Pretty explosive, right?” The girl on the other end sounded gossipy and excited.
Audrey hummed in acknowledgment and replied, “I saw it. It’s definitely surprising. I never would’ve thought Mr. Edd was that kind of person.”
“Of course! Like they say, you can never truly know someone. He’s worse than a beast. By the way, do you know who made him confess to all that?”
“I think this person is amazing-doing what so many want to do but can’t. If I knew who it was, I’d definitely try to meet them. People like that are practically national heroes.”
Audrey hesitated for a moment before replying, “Let me ask you something. If this so-called hero had killed one of your family members, what would you do? Would you seek revenge?”
“Of course! But first, I’d figure out the whole situation. Someone with that much justice in their heart wouldn’t kill without a reason, right?” The innocent voice on the other end paused momentarily, then asked curiously, “Wait, why are you suddenly asking something like that?”
“Do you… know who this person is?”
