The bespectacled man was sweating as he powerwalked to the elevator.

In the main hall, parents who had heard the news quickly collected their children and left.

One of the parties involved in this was the infamously hard-to-please Yuna Fest from a well-off family. Most of the parents either had some power or had a bit of money to their name, but they did not have the courage to pry into the commotion.

Yuna felt no shame when she noticed that people had left. Instead, she lifted her chin proudly and said, "Do you see that? Everyone here is an authority of some sort, but none can stand before me…"

Jacob stared at her as if he couldn't believe what an idiot she was being.

Standing off to the side, Charlie had managed to calm his son. He let out a breath and glared at Jacob. "Boy, I swear on everything I have that I will not let you walk out here without any consequences!"

Jacob held onto Heidi's small hand tightly behind his back.

From a few doors down, Jonah stuck out his head and whispered, "Moira, come here! I need you."


Hearing him, Moira struggled with herself before narrowing her eyes and puffing out her chest. She touched her daughter's braids.

Heidi turned and smiled sweetly up at her.

Jacob felt something in Moira change. While her expression remained the same, he felt warmness flood his chest.

His eyes flickered over Yuna and her husband. He shook his head and led his daughter to the door.

"Stop! Don't even think of leaving!" Charlie took a step forwards. His face dark with anger.

Jacob turned and looked at him. His eyes were dark and cold like obsidian. "Are you going to stop me?"

"I…"

The icy rage in Jacob's eyes sent a chill down Charlie's spine.

"Trash!" Yuna screamed at her husband's show of cowardice.

She stepped forward and jabbed a long red fingernail between Jacob's eyebrows. "Tell me your name if you dare!"

Jacob glanced at her and shook his head. He continued onwards.

Yuna clenched her teeth tightly. She wanted to run after him and scratch his eyes out. But she resisted when she remembered the group of bodyguards lying motionless behind her.

She narrowed her eyes at the three figures disappearing through the door.
