Shang looked at teacher Loran and teacher Mervin. Both of them didn't seem to be in good spirits.
"Yes?" Shang asked emotionlessly.
Teacher Mervin had a calm expression on his face, while teacher Loran frowned.
Teacher Mervin looked at teacher Loran and then at Shang. "I am here as a mediator," he said.
Shang scoffed. "Mediator?" he asked. "Weren't you on his side when he tried to threaten me into following his demands?"
"No, I was not," teacher Mervin said.
This surprised Shang.
Teacher Mervin wasn't?
But hadn't teacher Loran said that teacher Mervin was on his side?
Shang looked at teacher Loran with furrowed brows.
"I assumed they were on board, but they weren't," teacher Loran grumbled.
Shang narrowed his eyes.
Not only had teacher Loran wanted to threaten Shang into compliance, but he had also lied about the stance of the other teachers.
