The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The students who had agreed with the version of events earlier now bowed their heads, not daring to meet Joel’s eyes that were gradually growing colder by the minute. The two who swore were also embarrassed, their face full of awkwardness and chagrin.

In the end, everyone forgot about Nathan, who had the only electronic device in the barracks. That iPad could not only store Taylor Murray’s movies, but could also record videos!

Joel took the iPad from Nathan and replayed the video that Nathan recorded. The video managed to capture the peak of the confrontation, from when Xyla asked to be hit, all the way to Richard’s similar request.

It recorded the whole thing; the campus drama that escalated into a martial arts action movie. The iPad’s night shooting function was crystal clear with image stabilization, and the audio recorded was also very realistic. Hence, Xyla and Richard’s voices filled the whole office.

“I deserve this. I was the one who came between the both of you. There’s nothing wrong with you hating me. If hitting me makes you feel better, do it! Just please stop going after the Harpers and Richard!”

“Come on then. Hit me! Punch me! I’m the one who wronged you! Even if you beat me to death, I won’t fight back!”

Joel watched from the beginning to the end, not a hint of expression on his face. However, when he saw Sophia rush forward like a small leopard to hit them, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

As the video was playing, the atmosphere became even more colder, and the air filled with embarrassment. Even the onlookers wanted to dig a hole and bury their heads in the ground, much less those three who had the spotlight on them.

Of course, Sophia was not afraid. It feels really cool to hit someone! This pair of lovebirds provoked her so many times, and even gave themselves up on a silver platter for her to hit. One would have to be out of their minds to not take the couple up on their offer! F*ck getting a perfect score! She now only wanted to pass. And to think that those who scored full marks would get to have a meal with Joel personally; how embarrassing!

Joel saw the whole video, from the beginning to the end, then returned the iPad to Nathan wordlessly. He ruffled the boy’s hair, then stared at the others coldly. Once again, the atmosphere in the room was freezing cold, and no one dared to even breathe.
