Face-Slapping System



Roland stared at the father and son duo intently, not intending to miss a single interaction perfectly. His next course of actions will be determined depending on the movement of the two of them.

However, aside from the initial hostility and murderous intent earlier, Councilor Brown seemed to have calmed down a great deal. He was focused on placating Bryan, which had also seemingly calmed down after hearing his father's soothing words.

Roland frowned at the sight of this.

The most terrifying enemy was the enemy that knows how to hide and lay-low.

Due to the murderous intent, Roland knew that he was already being treated as an enemy by Councilor Brown. However, those murderous intent seemed to have vanished out of thin air. Not only was he not showing any signs of hostility towards him right now, it even appeared as if he was a loving father soothing his injured child. Even the gazes of Madison and the other two women softened seeing such a scene, much less Teacher Theodore was already 'bewitched' by Councilor Brown since earlier.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. The guards from outside stormed in along with the doctor wearing a white coat.

The guard's surrounded Roland and the others as the doctor checked Bryan's situation.

Five burly men surrounded the four visitors. Madison and the other two girls could not help but hug each other due to fright. Teacher Theodore sweated profusely as he tried to explain the situation.

"Wait, this is a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding!" Teacher Theodore's frantic shout echoed inside the room.

The five burly men were surrounding them aggressively. Everyone would be afraid if met with such a tense situation.

At this moment, Councilor Brown's soft and gentle words suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, thank you for taking the time to visit my son during such a hard time. However, it seems that an accident has occurred and we would no longer be able to communicate peacefully. I think it's better to let this matter aside from now and just let them cool down for some time."

"Men, please escort our guests out."

Teacher Theodore still wanted to say something, however, the fierce gaze of the guard made him afraid. Hence, their group could only go out with the escort of the guards.

Before the door was closed by the guard, Roland turned to look at Councilor Brown for the last time.

Seeing the group being escorted out by the guards, Roland's other classmates immediately asked the group what was going on.

At this time, Teacher Theodore's face was irritated. His brows were contorted together as he walked steadily without talking.

The students gradually created a minor commotion due to their curiosities. The main target of their queries were of course, the four students who went inside along with Teacher Theodore earlier.

However, the three women were still gobsmack at the sudden development of the events. None of the three had recovered from the shock and fear they felt yet. Only Roland was calm and collected, however, no matter how his classmates asked him about what happened, Roland never responded and just followed the flow of the group towards the exit of the hospital.

The escort 'guards' only left their sight when they were already near the parking lot. In fact, Roland noticed that they only left when all of them had already boarded the bus.

At this point, Madison and the two women had already recovered from their initial shock. One of them has already spread what has happened inside Bryan's ward earlier. However, Teacher Theodore was still silent and never said any words since earlier. Regarding that, the students also tacitly agreed to stay silent inside the bus as well.

Hence, the bus returned to school in silent mode. When they alighted the bus, Teacher Theodore finally dismissed all of them, and reminded them to go home directly before he left towards the school. He never spoke of what happened earlier at all, as if the commotion was just a farce and something that was not worthy of his attention.

As the students dispersed, some of them provided words of consolation to Roland, while the others stayed silent and just looked at him unfavorably.

Some of them were actually delighted and excited about the visit earlier when they learned the Councilor Brown was inside and that they had a chance to meet him. Hence, when the event unfolded and they learned of the 'reason' they immediately blamed Roland for them not being able to meet their respected Councilor Brown.

"It's alright bro, I would have done the same if I had your courage," One of the male students said as he patted Roland's shoulder before leaving.

Roland did not say anything and just allowed the students to go on their way.

After a few minutes, only Roland and Madison were left in the parking area.

Roland looked at Madison curiously, wondering what she thought of the incident earlier. Like Teacher Theodore, she had been silent since earlier too.

At this moment, Madison suddenly looked up and met Roland's gaze.

She let out a sigh and said,"I did not know that you could be that hurtful with your words."

Hearing that Roland immediately scoffed, "Hurtful? Well, I don't regret it."

Madison shook her head after hearing Roland's straightforward and honest answer.

"Even if you don't regret it. You should still be careful with your words."

"Sigh! Especially since Teacher Ted and Councilor Brown were there. You know that they are a very influential family right? Worst case scenario, Councilor Brown might use his connections to deny you some work when you apply for one in the future. Although Councilor Brown is a good man, it was his son that you played after all. We can't rule out the possibility of him taking revenge for his son," she stated.

Roland merely smiled and answered, "Don't worry about it. That's still too far in the future."

Madison shrugged her shoulders hearing Roland's unbothered answer.

"Right, it's very dangerous going home alone, let's just go together."
