After that, the teacher emphasized, âJuan is a bright and sharp-witted kid, and he stands out among his classmates. A lot of our students made up random excuses to call their families, but Juan is exceptionally resolute and has never had such a request. Donât worry, heâll certainly be a highly skilled and bold fighter with a tough mindset.â
The teacherâs words gave Nicole a great sense of relief. Feeling proud of her son, she chewed on the teacherâs words again and found that something was wrong.
Lifting her head, she stared at Evan with a strange gaze. âDoesnât Juan miss us? Heâs so cold-hearted.â
âOf course he does. But as a man, he needs to have an iron will. Or do you want him to be a cry baby like you?â
Nicoleâs voice got stuck in her throat. Evan is right. Fine then. Hopefully, Juan will stay strong as he is now. Iâll wait for the day he completed his studies and return home.
âCall Kyleâs teacher.â
Iâm sure Kyle isnât like Juan. Maybe heâs waiting for us to call him.
Then they made a call, and what they heard took them by surprise.
âThe school had three slots available for a challenge. Kyle was one of the students who took on the challenge and went to a secret base. As for when theyâre coming back, it mainly depends on their capabilities,â the teacher explained.
With a terrified face, Nicole asked hurriedly, âSecret base? What secret base?â
What kind of place is the secret base that my son has to be capable enough, or else he wonât be able to come back? That sounds really dangerous to me!
âRegarding the secret base, the teachers had a discussion, wrote down some of the most deadly places, and put them in a box. The three students then drew lots to decide where they were going.â
âMost deadly places? Isnât it dangerous? Why did the school make such an arrangement?â Nicole questioned hastily.
âThis is one of our school rules. As long as the students successfully make it to the secret base and come out of it later, they can graduate straight away and return home.â
Rules? What kind of stupid rules is this?
Instantly, Nicole was overwhelmed by the worry about Kyleâs safety.
âYou said that Juan is cold-hearted because he doesnât miss us. How about Kyle? He does this because he wants to come back and be with us soon. Arenât you happy?â
In a daze, she shook her head. âIâm not happy. Evan, will it be dangerous for Kyle?â
âI believe Kyleâs confident that he can handle this since he accepted the challenge. We should trust him.â
The color completely drained from Nicoleâs face. Her eyes glinted with worry. Since then, she had been living in terror and anxiety for days.
In K Nation.
Gaping at Davinâs injury, Sheila was surprised.
âDavin, what happened to you? Did someone beat you up? Are your arms injured? Oh my God! Look at your face! Itâs full of bruises! Tsk, tsk, tsk⦠I bet your face was badly swollen when you first got beaten up. You couldâve been disfigured if they had been more violent.â
âSheep, did you come all the way here only to poke fun at me? Youâre too much!â Davin stared at her with displeasure.
âPoke fun at you? No, no, youâve misunderstood me. In fact, I feel pity for you. I didnât expect that you were beaten up so badly. Iâm going to cut off those bastardsâ hands!â
Her words appeased Davin. He then let out a sigh. âItâs alright. Take it easy. Letâs not offend the locals, lest we create more troubles for ourselves.â
âI know youâre right, but how can we just leave it when you got beaten up to this extent? We have to get even with them somehow.â
Hearing Sheilaâs words, Murphy walked over, looked at her, and said, âDonât worry. Iâll avenge Davin. The vice president of the Sun Corporation is going to pay for this.â
