Chapter 148: Did you use to bully Demon?

Two more snows had fallen.

The members of the international class noticed that ever since Maureen returned from the final round, the atmosphere between her and their "boss" seemed to have subtly changed.

Before the final round, they seemed inseparable, obviously lovebirds.

After the finals, who knows what happened?

Or if it’s just their imagination, but Maureen appeared to care more about their "boss," almost like an eagle protecting a chick.

For instance, their class advisor, Teacher Logan.

Because of Liam, Teacher Logan hadn’t received a performance bonus in three years, and his resentment was more than justified.

Finally, after Maureen transferred into their class this semester, the number of incidents involving Liam dramatically decreased.

Teacher Logan thought he could relax a bit, but the last school celebration performance was unexpectedly changed by Liam! The school leaders were furious.

Now, this month’s bonus was gone again! Teacher Logan was so enraged with Liam that he was gnashing his teeth.

For minor offenses like "not cleaning the blackboard," he would make Liam run laps around the field.

To begin with, running laps was nothing special for the boys in the international class, not a big deal.

Liam, taking off his headphones, lazily stood up and was about to leave the classroom.

But Maureen stood up to contend with Teacher Logan! She listed one hundred harms and consequences of physical punishment in winter, and if anything happened to Liam while running -- from high blood pressure to stepping on a screw, the responsibility might fall on Teacher Logan!

Suddenly debated by his best student, from east to south, then west to north, made Teacher Logan feel stupefied.

Finally, when he left the classroom with his teaching aid book, dizzy and disoriented, he had completely forgotten why he had entered the classroom in the first place.

Liam inserted his hands into his pockets, the corners of his mouth already reaching up to the sky.

He looked at Maureen by his side, sitting down with a smug smile,

His face seemingly spelled out a few big words — ’A Pampered Man.’

Everyone in the international class was utterly stunned. "....."

The usually fierce and fiery boss, Maureen, was being portrayed as a delicate little flower swaying in the wind.

How thick could Maureen’s glasses possibly be?!

Could his glasses have even been distorted?!

However, this scene seems strangely familiar?? It seemed as if they had returned to the very start.

The brothers from the international class let it be, they would just eat some dog food every day during the break, watching Liam dating seemed like a completely different person, rather amusing.

Niel, on the other hand, was in misery, during the ten hours a day at school, he was fed dog food until he wanted to throw up for nine hours.

==========

On this day, the three of them were eating at a KFC restaurant outside of the school, and they bumped into Demon.

Demon was wearing a beige coat, he had come to this area with a friend to handle some matters, he didn’t expect such a coincidence, he turned around with his tray, just to bump into Liam, who was sitting by the window.

Liam didn’t do anything.

His face and aura alone are enough to make him stand out from the crowd, let alone the fact that Maureen, the school beauty who is engrossed eating, is sitting next to him — it’s hard not to be noticed.

Liam reclines in his chair with a Coke, lifting his eyes casually. Their eyes meet.

Demon is taken aback, suddenly feeling terrible.

He feels a chill running down his spine, swiftly turns around to skedaddle, leaving his freshly bought French fries and burger on the table, and walks away dragging his friend along.

His friend, tugged by him, curses as his ice-cold Coke spills all over the floor.

Liam: "..."??? Maureen is also confused.

She knew Demon during their training camp, although they were not very familiar, it was a recognized relationship, and she never heard Demon say that he was scared of Liam.

Could this be a pretentious behaviour inherited from his ancestors, refusing to admit fear even when feeling it?

Maureen asks, "Have you ever bullied him?"

"No."

Liam is completely baffled, he looks out of the store through the windows, places the Coke back on the table and says,

"He probably has a screw loose, he always runs away as if he’s seen a ghost whenever he sees me.

Do I look that fierce?"

"Not at all," Maureen replies.

Liam turns his head to look at Maureen, Maureen looks at him furrowing his handsome brows, dips a chip in ketchup, and casually stuffs it into his mouth and adds,

"Not fierce at all." Liam seems pacified, humming lightly.

He chews the chip a few times, unwraps the burger and hands it to Maureen, "Don’t just eat chips, you’ll be hungry by three or four in the afternoon."

Niel on the side: "..." The scene in Niel’s eyes is simply like the zookeeper telling her pacing lion, ’You are not the king of beasts at all, the reason people run away when they see you is not because of your intimidation, but because you’re too adorable.’

Zookeeper, do you not feel guilty when you say these words?!

"What’s wrong?" Liam glanced at Niel, his dark eyebrows raised slightly: "You have an objection?" Maureen also turned to look at Niel.

Niel: "----" What objections could a single dog have? Could a single dog who didn’t even have basic rights dare to object?!

Previously, for Liam, Demon was just an illegitimate son of the Williams family, who didn’t see him often, ran away at the sight of him, and always followed behind his mother.

But because Maureen served as a bridge, Liam finally got to know a little bit about Demon.

This kid probably wasn’t voluntarily being a so-called ’counterfeit’.

That incident from the past had also left a shadow on him.

After encountering Demon, Liam had been pensive.

He was thinking about how this issue should ultimately be resolved.

Going on like this day after day wouldn’t solve any problems, and time didn’t seem to be the best healing medicine, there’s no way to cure the grief of losing a loved one.

But even so, no one should just stand still, everyone should continue to move forward, including his mother.

Originally, when Liam heard Maureen saying that she met Demon during training, he felt a bit sour.

But seeing Maureen had absolutely no feelings for Demon, his slight jealousy was soon dissolved by himself.

It still holds true, men shouldn’t be too jealous.

Moreover, the old man was probably afraid that he and Demon wouldn’t be able to get along, so Demon was sent to a neighboring city to study after returning to the country.

Demon’s home was in their own city, but he had no choice but to go to a boarding school in the neighboring city, only able to come back once a month, which was fairly pitiful.

After Liam turned thirteen, there weren’t many true relatives around him.

He didn’t really know how to build a closer relationship with relatives.

Even though his previous perception towards this illegitimate cousin had changed somewhat, he didn’t go out of his way to play basketball or do something else to close the distance between them.

In a word, everything remained the same.

They each had their own lives.
