“Jack?”

Nora, who was behind the few of them, uttered in surprise.

It was no wonder that she was surprised. After all, Jack’s bright and sunny image was simply too out of line with Barbarian. Moreover, Nora had fought with Barbarian before back in New York, so she knew that he could not possibly be Barbarian…

While she was thinking, Aaron rushed over. Together with Brenda, they cautiously grabbed Jack’s arms, held them behind him, and arrested him!

Jack, who looked rather flustered, exclaimed, “What’s the matter? What happened? Sh*t! You can’t just arrest me without a reason!”

Both Brenda and Aaron also felt that things were going too smoothly and the two looked at each other. While Aaron held Jack down, Brenda cautiously circled the room. However, she did not see Peter at all!

At the sight, Nora took the initiative to question Jack. She asked, “Why are you here,

Jack?”

Jack, who was bent over due to being bound, answered, “Professor Peter wanted me to clean his room. What’s the matter with you

guys?”

In university, many postgraduate students working under the professors also doubled as their assistants in their personal life. In fact, a fair number of professors even got their postgraduate students to pick up their children from school for them. Therefore, situations like what Jack was claiming did exist.

However, he had a very flustered look in his eyes, so it was obvious at a glance that he was lying

Aaron immediately held him down even more forcefully, which made Jack feel as if his arm was going to break. He shouted, “You can’t treat me like this! I’m a student of Staav University! What gives you the right to treat me like this?”

Aaron’s expression darkened even further when he said that.

Nora said, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you, Jack.”

Jack pressed his lips together when he heard her.

Nora nodded to Aaron.

Aaron slowly let go of Jack, but nevertheless continued to point his handgun at him warily.

If Jack was Barbarian, even if all three and a half humans present teamed up-Solo could only be regarded as half a person here—they still wouldn’t be his match.

Therefore, Aaron and Brenda did not dare to let down their guard one bit.

Jack stood up straight and shook his arm, which had become numb from being held down. Only then did the young man, who was close to tears, say, “I was doing Professor Peter’s work for him… He said that he should have been taking care of this by himself, so he didn’t want me to tell anyone about it.”

As soon as he said that, the rest understood.

Why, Jack had been the one handling all the work—including verifying the professors’ attendance-in the group chat since the morning, not Peter!

Aaron broke into a huge frown and asked, “Where’s Peter?”

Jack shrugged. “I don’t know. Why would the director ever tell me where he’s going?”

Aaron looked at Brenda.

Brenda suddenly took a step forward and attacked Jack, which scared him so badly that he immediately retreated. Even so, he did not manage to dodge her attack. There was no sign of an act in his actions.

Brenda said, “He’s not Barbarian.”

Only then did the fierce and menacing look on Aaron’s face ease. The way he looked just now was as if Barbarian had killed his father.

Nevertheless, he was furious. “When did you start handling these affairs for him? And when was the last time you saw him?”

Although Jack was displeased at being punched for some inexplicable reason, he nevertheless answered Aaron’s questions honestly. He replied, “At ten o’clock last night. When I left this place, I told him that I would come over at six this morning to continue helping him with his work.”

Aaron asked, “Didn’t you see him when you came here this morning?”
