"Don't get on my nerve, old man."
"H-Hyung..."
Jason himself looked a bit scared as the next second Lucas stood up and moved in front of the principal desk, and while coldly smashing his hand over his desk and looking at that face already shivering with fear and sweat, he coldly questioned, looking into his eyes.
"Do I... not look like someone who's scarier than those you are working with?"
"Wh-what's this nonsense in my office!?
The principal screamed, gathering up his courage and glare over Lucas, but the next instant, the glare and the scream were both silenced as Lucas widened his gaze with his pupils shrunk like a beast before battle.
'I will die! I'm going to die!?'
Continuous goosebumps ran throughout the body and soul of the principal as he silently fell back over his seat while Lucas continued
"What did they promise you? A personal property? Some opportunities for school? Money? Some position in industry or maybe some government position?"
The principal gritted his teeth and, with a bit of nervousness on his face, shouted
"Nonsense! No one promised me anything. I run this school with integrity!"
Lucas scoffed as he leaned further in and questioned
"You think I'm a fool, old man? I can smell deceit from a mile away. Just tell me, who's pulling your strings?"
The principal visibly started to look nervous and continued to defend himself.
"I have nothing to do with any external influence. These are just school matters."
Lucas smirked; he wasn't one to be fooled by such blatant sad acting, and he commented
"You're protecting someone, and they're making you dance to their tune. Just who is it?"
The principal, denying it, opened up his top collar button shirt and replied
"I have no obligation to answer your baseless accusations!"
Lucas scoffed and, while releasing the desk, commented while looking at the continuously dropping sweat on the face of the principal.
"Baseless? Your fear says otherwise. Someone is manipulating you, and I aim to find out who. Don't make me dig deeper, or you also know things get ugly."
The principal visibly seemed so nervous that, before tightly grabbing the handles of his chairs, he replied
"I won't be threatened! I won't betray trust in my position!"
Lucas sniggered, feeling amused, and glared at him with lowered, cold eyes.
"Trust? You've already betrayed it. Now, let me give you a choice: cooperate and maybe salvage some dignity, or keep lying and face the consequences."
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!"
The principal remained silent to the end. Lucas frowned, a bit disappointed, as he muttered.
"Well, it seems we're not getting anywhere. Too bad for you."
Lucas said that and started to walk towards the door, leaving the trembling principal behind a bit relieved as he sighed, feeling pressure from the atmosphere leaving his body as he whispered to himself.
"What a persistent bastard..."
*Clack!*
The principal had just muttered that, but instantly next second, his eyes absolutely widened as he saw the doors of his office opening up by the hands of Lucas as a man with black hair was seen walking in to the office wearing a white shirt and blue suit.
"David P-park nim!?"
The principal immediately stood up the moment he saw this man walk in; he was absolutely filled with shivers.
"Principal of Hanseong High School, I assume... I have talked with the owner of Hanseong High School. First of all, Jason Lee's suspension will end today, and for the rest of the matter, we can have a discussion in detail right now; right here, Lucas Hyung will be the one asking questions."
'L-Lucas, 'Hyung nim'??!'
The principal was once again caught off guard. He rose from his seat, and his eyes went back and forth crazily between Lucas smirking and this new individual in the room.
'David Park! He's the only son of Edward Park, the chairman and owner of 'Park Constructions'! David Park is the current chairman of Park Constructions! His collections are extremely wide, from government officials, judges, and prosecutors to great celebrities!
Park Constructions is one of the country's greatest construction companies; they just took on a construction project for an international sports gymnasium worth trillions of dollars! What the hell is going on? In Seoul, there are only a few who have the ability to reach him, and the number of people who dare to offend him can be counted on a finger! Yet now!
Now! David Park himself is calling this man! 'L-Lucas' as 'Hyung nim'!?! Just what's their connection? And how!? How did I not recognise a man of such high status!?!'
"There must be a misunderstanding."
The principal's tone of voice and his body language had both turned to that of an obedient dog. David Park didn't even spare him a glance, as suddenly the phone on his desk started to ring.
*Tring! Tring! Tring!*
"Ex-excuse me-!?"
The principal turned and picked up the phone, and as soon as the panicked voice from the other side of the phone came out, all the colour on the face of the principal instantly vanished.
"Ow-owner!?"
What the hell have you been doing!? [Why is the legal team at Park Construction calling me!?]
"I can explain! This isn't what-"
[I don't care what you are doing!] [If you didn't finish this matter, handle your resignation before the night falls today!!!]
"Sir! I shall-!"
*Toot!*
The call was cut short, and now, as the principal looked at his office, the whole scenery had changed. Jason was still sitting blankly in the office seat with no knowledge of what the fuck was going on in the world, just watching the ceiling like a chicken.
David Park was taking a seat alone while coldly looking towards the principal, while Lucas was just smirking while casually rolling up the magazine book he found on the desk as he questioned
"So, are you taking Jason Lee back?"
"I-i will! There must be misunderstandings in our situation! I will investigate this matter and!"
The principal's whole behaviour had absolutely changed, but he was once again stopped in the middle of his words by Lucas's hand signal as he sniggered.
"So you choose cooperation~ then that finishes our first point; on to the second point, give a short and simple answer for whose palm were you dancing on till now?"
Lucas said that the principal instantly left his desk and rushed in front of them, and while standing still in his place, he started to explain
"It was—it was the grandson of 'Sanghwa Corporation'! He's the final-year student, the same as Jason from class 3-A! They contacted me last year and commanded me to just let it happen as it is without interference! I know nothing more than this! I just didn't want to offend big people! Please forgive me!"
"Short and simple, indeed."
Lucas scoffed coldly and released the magazine on the table, and with that, the three left the office after releasing that principal on his office chair like almost dead meat.
"I will contact you later, Hyung Nim."
David Park also gave Lucas a bow before leaving. Jason was still stunned, shocked, and surprised, unaware of what was happening here.
"How did you know the fucking 'David Park'?!"
His eyes showed madness, and Lucas sniggered as he replied.
"This was a long fucking week. I went and built up a few connections, but do you know anything about this grandson of Sanghwa Corporation?"
"It's... Caleb Sanghwa; my father is an employee of Sanghwa Corporation; he's a high official there; we once, at the age of 10, had dinner with Sanghwa Corporation's Chairman, where I met Caleb for the first time; I don't... I don't know why he's doing anything! I just knew he was in this school, but we never met after the first meeting."
Lucas stared at Lucas for a brief time, but next, he also just released a sigh as he muttered.
"Or maybe you didn't notice what you did."
Jason didn't hear his words, and next, as his eyes fell over the road, a question bumped back into his mind.
"Lucas Hyung? Could it be that David Park Nim is someone you knew from the past before meeting me!? Did you call him for me!!? Hmm! Hmm?!"
As Lucas heard him, a snigger came out of his face. Next, while rubbing his head, he replied,
"If he was one of the guys I have known from'my' past, then it won't be a mere 'high school' principal who will be shivering; it will be whole 'Seoul'..."
As Lucas said those words, for a brief moment, Jason felt like he could see the figures of monsters in Lucas's eyes, but the next second, Lucas equipped his helmet, covering those eyes, and commanded
"Anyways, I will get going; go back to your home; the principal will handle the issue; and... don't tell your parents about the issue; we will handle it ourselves."
Lucas said that he immediately left with a bike, leaving Jason filled with sweat as he muttered, just imagining the level of presence the people Lucas knew of would have.
"Whole Seoul shivering at mere presence, huh?"
